Gu Xin nodded knowingly: "This 'Heavenly Shade Grass' cannot be exposed to the sun, but its little flowers are indeed very beautiful. Since your Queen loves to cultivate rare and exotic plants, it seems that this 'Heavenly Shade Grass' is not very common in your area."
Ah Yin was in so much pain that she bit her lip until it bled, but she felt better when she was talking to Gu Xin than when she was alone. She hoped that she could keep talking to Gu Xin so that time would pass faster.
Ayin replied, "Your Highness, the flowers in Her Majesty's flower room are all rare and exceptional."
Gu Xin pointed to the sweat on A Yin's body and then turned to look at Dong Xue.
Dongxue, who was standing to the side, couldn't understand what the two were saying, but she understood Gu Xin's action and quickly took a handkerchief to wipe Ayin's sweat.
While wiping her sweat, she asked curiously, "Third Miss, the poison this girl is suffering from is really strange. She's even sweating red sweat! It doesn't look like blood at all; it looks like the flowers used to dye fingernails have been smashed into mud."
Gu Xin laughed and said, "That's right! One of the ingredients used in this poison has a particularly vibrant flower and is extremely toxic. It's this color."
Dongxue paused.
Gu Xin laughed and said, "Don't stop! Even if our little Dongxue is poisoned, I can cure her immediately."
Dongxue stuck out her tongue sheepishly, realizing her worries were unnecessary, and continued wiping Ayin's sweat.
Ayin glanced at Dongxue with a hint of envy.
They're all the same age, and all personal maids to the princess. Look how harmonious this girl is with the princess!
Although she couldn't understand what the master and servant were saying, she could sense the atmosphere between them!
She was genuinely envious.
After Dongxue wiped Ayin's sweat, Gu Xin told her to keep the handkerchief safe and not throw it away, as she would still need it.
Dongxue took the handkerchief and stepped aside.
Gu Xin pulled up a stool and sat down on the edge of the bed, saying gently, "Ayin, you'll have to wait another fifteen minutes before I remove the needles. You need to sweat it out again. After you sweat it out a second time, I'll remove the needles, and you'll need to rest for another half hour before we continue. It will hurt even more then, can you handle it?"
Ayin said firmly, "I can do it, thank you Princess Xinxin. It's so late, would you like to rest for a while, Princess?"
Gu Xin shook her head: "I'm fine, I'm used to it. It's only been one day without rest. I said I would detoxify you, and I will. You can close your eyes and rest for a while. You'll sweat again in about 45 minutes. It will hurt then, but you'll wake up without me having to call you. After you wake up, eat something, rest again, and we'll continue when it's time."
Ayin felt a lump in her throat.
She was selected at the age of three to learn various things, and at the age of ten, she was sent to the palace and became the personal maid of the second princess.
Over the years, apart from her mother and older sister, no one else has ever cared about her like this.
Moreover, after she turned ten, her mother and older sister were no longer around. Her mother and older sister could not write, so they could not even exchange letters. The only time Sangze would show concern for her was when he was in a good mood and gave her medicine.
The last time was before she left Nanlin. In order to put her mind at ease, the General's Mansion had her mother and elder sister disguise themselves as ordinary fishermen and catch a glimpse of her from afar on the beach with other people.
