"It really was you! You... vixen!"
"Whatever the Crown Prince says, if you dare to continue to offend me, I have a hundred ways to make you wish you were dead."
Mi Shan took advantage of his weakness to say a lot of harsh words, aiming to scare him once and for all, so as to avoid endless trouble in the future.
A strange expression suddenly appeared on Li Xuanche's face as he stared at her warily.
"Your Highness, aren't you going to let go of me? My shoulders are hurting from your pressure." Mi Shan frowned.
Li Xuanche shivered, quickly released her, and watched as Mi Shan slowly got up, turned her back to him, straightened her clothes, and smoothed her temples.
It was as if they were afraid she would just leave like that.
Li Xuanche reached out and grabbed the hem of her skirt.
"Wait, Consort Mi Hui, I know you have a way to get the antidote."
Mi Shan remained silent, turning to look at him for a moment.
"If you dare not give me the antidote, I will tell you what happened in the cave that day, and say that you seduced me." Li Xuanche gritted his teeth hatefully. "Before that, I didn't say a word."
Mi Shan lowered her eyes.
It's better to avoid trouble.
Li Xuanche has suffered enough.
"Okay, don't worry, someone will be able to cure you later."
Her cold eyes flickered, then she turned and left, her slender figure opening the door and disappearing into the light outside.
Li Xuanche finally breathed a sigh of relief, watched the direction she left in, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.
In the courtyard.
The Empress was restless and paced back and forth.
Upon seeing Mi Shan emerge, he immediately went forward.
"Consort Mi Hui, what did my son tell you? Did you cause him to become like this?!"
Her sharp nail guards pointed at Mi Shan, her eyes filled with hostility.
Mi Shan's calm and collected demeanor was very much like that of her "older sister".
But in the end, I am not alone.
Mi Shan, she doesn't deserve to have such eyes at all.
"Your Majesty, please be careful with your words." Mi Shan's calm gaze swept across her face. "I have nothing to say. If you want to know anything, you may ask the First Prince directly."
She believed that Li Xuanche would not say anything unless he didn't want the antidote anymore.
The empress still stared at her with hatred.
"Your Majesty, I take my leave."
After saying that, Mi Shan calmly left.
On her way back to Jade Hibiscus Palace, Mi Shan went to Calyx Garden again and successfully picked some phoenix tail grass.
After mastering the antidote, I took one first and immediately felt completely refreshed. My mind was no longer restless, and I cleared away many distracting thoughts.
She picked up the last pill and put it into the bottle.
Then he stretched and went outside.
Xun'er and Achan were guarding the door. When they saw her come out, they hurried to greet her.
"Your Highness has locked yourself in there for so long without eating or drinking. Here are some sweet soups and pastries. Please have some."
"Okay." Mi Shan sat down, took a bite of the dessert, and savored its sweet aftertaste.
After finishing a bowl of sweet soup, she picked up a handkerchief to wipe her mouth and said calmly, "Have Xiaomingzi go and invite Physician Qiao."
"Xun'er, go and invite Consort Xia over later. Tell her I want to catch up with her."
Now everyone in the palace can see that she and Sister Xue are getting close, so there's no need to avoid suspicion anymore.
Xiao Mingzi was nimble and ran very fast, and Qiao Yunsheng arrived just as quickly.
Mi Shan invited him to sit down and asked A Chan to bring him another serving of sweet soup.
"Your Majesty is too kind. I dare not accept such praise."
“Cousin, this is my palace, there’s no need for so many formalities. I’ve also invited Sister Xue, she’ll be here shortly.”
After Mi Shan finished speaking, Qiao Yunsheng's eyes clearly lit up.
In this deep palace, it was extremely difficult for them to even meet.
It was rare for Mi Shan to take the initiative to create opportunities for them, which moved Qiao Yunsheng deeply, but he had to maintain his composure and bow.
"I wonder if Your Majesty has summoned me here?"
"Regarding the Crown Prince's illness, the Imperial Hospital must be in a state of utter distress lately, unable to come up with a solution, right?"
"How did Your Highness know?" Qiao Yunsheng's eyes flickered slightly, showing a hint of surprise. "Could it be that Your Highness has the medicine?"
“Exactly.” Mi Shan flipped his wrist and took out a small bottle from his sleeve, the mouth of which was plugged with a cork.
Inside the transparent bottle, you can see a hollow black pill.
Inside the pill, a small white worm was curled up.
But Qiao Yunsheng couldn't see the little white worm. He just reached out and took it in surprise: "Just this one pill, and it'll work right away?"
“That’s right.” Mi Shan nodded. “If I were to take out the antidote in my capacity, it would arouse suspicion. But if I hand it over to Physician Qiao, everything will seem perfectly reasonable.”
"As long as Physician Qiao trusts me, you can use it with confidence."
"Your Majesty, you are being too formal. We are cousins, and I know your character in the palace. Thank you very much."
Qiao Yunsheng bowed and accepted the gift, displaying a humble and gentle demeanor.
Mi Shan looked at him with admiration. No wonder Sister Xue was so fascinated by him. He was as handsome as jade and unparalleled in the world.
Qiao Yunsheng's appearance, temperament, and knowledge are all exceptional, making him worthy of Sister Xue's affection.
Just then, footsteps could be heard from not far away.
It was Xia Ranxue who had arrived.
"This concubine greets Consort Mi Hui and Imperial Physician Qiao."
Xia Ranxue's delicate face, lightly made up, was flushed. The moment she saw Qiao Yunsheng, her eyes turned into a dazed look, and she smiled with her lips pursed.
