Chapter 189 Fifth Brother, have you been reading too many storybooks lately?
Zijuan became worried again. Could it be that the nightmare the princess had today had frightened her so much that she became ill?
"Princess, perhaps I should go and call the imperial physician to take a look at you? As the saying goes, a heart ailment is also an illness, and I've heard that nightmares can sometimes cause unbearable pain. I'm really worried, so perhaps I should go now..."
"Alright, alright, Sister Zijuan." Sheng Sheng interrupted Zijuan with a wry smile, preventing her from going further absurdly. "It's okay, Sheng Sheng just had a nightmare. Sheng Sheng has already forgotten what the dream was about."
"Really?" Zijuan asked, still uneasy.
Stone also gazed at her with concern. Although he couldn't understand Zijuan's words, he was quite tall.
"Of course, Sheng Sheng doesn't actually want the Rejuvenation Pill. She just wants to ask Uncle Xiao if the Rejuvenation Pill is made with Rejuvenation Grass, and where the Rejuvenation Grass is."
"The Rejuvenation Pill, the Rejuvenation Herb?" Zijuan suddenly realized, "The Rejuvenation Pill is made from the Rejuvenation Herb. So the princess wanted this herb. But why would the princess want this Rejuvenation Herb?"
Sheng Sheng briefly recounted the conversation she overheard between Xie Yunchuan and Xie Yuxiao at noon. In short, Xie Yunwen's illness required a special prescription to nourish him for a period of time, and the medicinal herbs in this prescription were extremely precious and rare.
This spring grass, it is even rumored in the martial arts world, has become extinct.
It is said that there has been no trace of them for nearly twenty years!
Zijuan covered her mouth in surprise: "So powerful, can it really cure all diseases?"
"That's not the point. The point is that no one else can find this Rejuvenating Herb, but now we have a whole bottle of Rejuvenating Pills that seem to be made from it!" Sheng Sheng was extremely excited. "What does this mean? It means that Uncle Xiao might have Rejuvenating Herb in addition to Rejuvenating Pills. At least, he might know something about Rejuvenating Herb."
Zijuan understood now: "Oh! So that's how it is, Princess. The Second Prince can't find the Rejuvenating Grass now. If Master Xiao really knows the whereabouts of the Rejuvenating Grass, the Fourth Prince can be cured of his leg, right?"
Sheng Sheng nodded repeatedly: "Mmm-hmm!"
"That's wonderful news, Princess! If we can find the Rejuvenating Herb through Master Xiao, the Fourth Prince will have hope. He will be very grateful to you!"
Zijuan felt that if their princess had contributed to this, the Fourth Prince would be grateful, and if anything happened to the princess in the future, the Fourth Prince would be able to take care of her.
"Don't speak too soon. What if Uncle Xiao doesn't know the whereabouts of the Rejuvenating Grass either? These martial arts practitioners are swift and elusive; perhaps that bottle of Rejuvenating Pills is a treasure Uncle Xiao won in a duel with someone," Sheng Sheng said.
"Moreover, Fourth Brother is such a good person, with outstanding talent and extraordinary temperament. In a storybook, he would definitely be at least a third-ranked scholar. Sheng Sheng doesn't need his thanks. Even if he weren't Sheng Sheng's Fourth Brother, Sheng Sheng wouldn't want to see such a good person lose the opportunity to stand up."
It would be best if I could help. Xie Yunwen is not only Sheng Sheng's fourth brother, but also someone that Sheng Sheng admires and respects.

A few days later.
The days at Shanglin Hunting Ground were rich and interesting. Because they encountered a pack of wolves on the first day, the group of young ladies, led by Li Manyan, dared not go far out of the hunting ground. At most, they only dared to look at the scenery around the hunting ground and never left the sight of the patrolling Imperial Guards.
Sheng Sheng, on the other hand, was fearless and always wanted to travel to heaven and earth, taking Xie Yunqi everywhere with her.
Sheng Sheng went out to have fun, and Shi Tou joined in the fun, slowly following behind Sheng Sheng after his afternoon nap every day.
If Stone weren't still a baby and needed plenty of sleep every day, she would probably be with her every moment.
At first, the palace servants in the hunting grounds were afraid, but Sheng Sheng managed Shi Tou very well. Shi Tou never scolded or frightened anyone for no reason. He usually followed Sheng Sheng obediently like a little shadow. After a few days, everyone got used to it.
Moreover, His Majesty and Consort Li both said that the white tiger is a symbol of good fortune, and the Second Princess has brought back an auspicious omen for the Great Yu, which is a good thing.
A cute little girl followed by an adorable white tiger cub—the scene was simply adorable. Gradually, everyone began to regard the stone as an existence similar to Yan Hu.
They're all small animals from Yuqing Palace anyway, so there's not much difference between them.
After playing freely for several days, Sheng Sheng felt like she was living a life of bliss.
That day, Xie Yunqi came to find Shengsheng again to stir up trouble.
"Sister, sister!"
Xie Yunqi came running over. There were no candles lit in the tent, only the light of the sky shining in, making it somewhat dim.
However, Xie Yunqi's attire was so dazzling that it blinded Sheng Sheng, who was drinking pumpkin porridge, that there was no need to light any candles.
Sheng Sheng looked up and saw the spoon in her hand fall into the bowl with a thud, dumbfounded.
Xie Yunqi was wearing a long black robe that covered him from neck to toe, and over the robe was a tattered raincoat that he had picked up from somewhere, with holes in the front and back. He was also wearing a helmet that he had stolen from the Imperial Guards.
The funniest thing was that Xie Yunqi was holding a stick made of four or five thin branches tied together, which was two or three times longer than Xie Yunqi's height. Xie Yunqi was struggling to hold it, and he was carrying it in with great effort, supporting it horizontally with both hands.
As a result, he couldn't get in by holding the stick horizontally. Xie Yunqi was stuck at the entrance of the tent, his legs were still trying to step in, but his head was blocked by the stick and he couldn't move.
Xie Yunqi grumbled, "Hey, what's going on? Is it because my specially made magic weapon is too powerful, and its boundless magic power is too strong, that they won't let me bring it in?"
Sheng Sheng: "..."
What's going on here?
Fifth Brother, are you dressed like that because you just went to the mountains to collect trash?
Sheng Sheng was momentarily stunned, perhaps because she was a little shocked. It was supposed to be funny, but she just couldn't laugh. She stared blankly at Xie Yunqi, who was busy at work.
Xie Yunqi refused to believe it and tried several different angles but still couldn't get in. Xiao Quanzi, standing beside him and supporting the lower half of the stick, looked worried and said, "Oh dear, Your Highness, perhaps we shouldn't bring this thing in? Look at this stick, if we straighten it out and put it there, it will not only dirty the Second Princess's tent, but it will also puncture the top of the tent!"
Xie Yunqi: "What nonsense are you talking about? This is a 'magical artifact' that I made myself. It has a spirit. How could it possibly damage Sheng Sheng's things?"
Upon hearing Xie Yunqi's speech, Sheng Sheng fell silent once again.
Fifth Prince, have you been reading too many storybooks lately? Is your mind not quite clear anymore?
