Chapter 447: Eyes, Entering the Palace

When Madam Ye heard that Su Zhi was so sure that she could "cure" the Second Prince, she was really surprised and delighted. Even her body, which had been a little weak due to sadness, seemed to have regained strength. She stood up and paid great respects to Su Zhi again. However, as soon as she finished paying great respects, her body staggered.

Su Zhi quickly asked the maid brought by Madam Ye to help her up, then she took out a small bottle from her purse and poured out a handful of emerald green pills the size of soybeans.

Su Zhi brought this pill with her for emergency use. She had planned to send the pill to Madam Ye later, but she didn't expect that Madam Ye was so weak, so she took it out in front of her. As soon as the pill was taken out, a faint fragrance filled the room. It was so faint, but it was very clear, and the more you smelled it, the more you wanted to smell it. Just smelling it, you felt refreshed.

"Sister-in-law, this is the medicine I brought. It's good for your health. Look at me, I've traveled a long way, and I'm still so energetic even when I'm pregnant. It's all thanks to this pill! You should take one soon, too. You'll definitely feel better after taking it."

"Thank you, brothers and sisters."

As soon as Mrs. Ye smelled the fragrance, she knew how good the medicine was. She had taken just one pill of this medicine before, and all her illnesses were cured. The couple collected the remaining medicines like treasures, but in the end, they were all gone because of saving the second prince. Otherwise, she would not be so weak. She was not sick, but was caused by worry and sadness. Taking medicine would not work. But Su Zhi's medicine must work. Mrs. Ye now believed what Su Zhi said. The second prince was just pretending to be sick. The magic medicine was still a magic medicine. Su Zhi also said that Xing'er must be fine. She felt much better, thinking that after taking this medicine, her body would be healed immediately!

Mrs. Ye took the medicine immediately. As soon as the medicine went down her throat, she felt a cool sensation all over her body, as if water had flowed through her internal organs, as if they had been cleansed. She felt as if everything inside her body was clean. Her body felt light and her mind was clear.

"My sister-in-law's medicine is still so effective. I feel much better now."

Madam Ye really felt that she was not as weak as before. She thought that this medicine was really effective. My sister-in-law said that her medicine could cure all diseases, so the Second Prince's illness should be cured, but he was still pretending to be sick. How hateful! At the same time, she was even more grateful to Su Zhi. She thought that she helped them rescue Xing'er from the kidnapper and raised him for so many years. Now, not only did she have to continue to worry about Xing'er, she had to argue with the royal family, and she also had to worry about her health. She was really a kind person.

Su Zhi smiled and said, "Sister-in-law is in good health. When Xing'er comes back, he won't blame himself for making you worry about him. That child is very filial and sensible."

Mrs. Ye also showed a relieved smile on her face and said, "What you said is right, Xing'er is a smart and sensible child. This is all thanks to your good education. My husband and I never thought that we would not only find Xing'er but also find such a well-behaved and smart child. You have been very kind to our Ye family."

Su Zhi naturally praised Xing'er again, and the two of them talked about Xing'er's growth. Mrs. Ye listened to Su Zhi's talk about Xing'er. She was very absorbed in listening. She was sad at first, but later she was relieved and smiling.

As they were talking, they heard Yueyue calling for her mother, and Aunt Lan telling her to run slower and not to fall.

"Just when I was talking about Xiaori and Yueyue, these two little guys are here."

Su Zhi said to Mrs. Ye with a smile.

Mrs. Ye was also very interested in Xiaori and Yueyue, and had always heard Xing'er talk about them. They were the brother and sister who grew up with Xing'er. In her heart, she thought that if these two children were good, she would love them as her own children, just like Su Zhi, didn't she love Xing'er and the others as her own children?

"Mom, we've looked at the garden at the back! There's a pond there too! But it's not like ours..."

Yueyue ran in shouting, but when she saw Madam Ye and the maid beside her, she stopped shouting. She smiled embarrassedly, glanced at Su Zhi, and then bowed to Madam Ye.

"Hello, ma'am."

Yueyue was still young, and there were no rules in the countryside. She just called out to people when she saw them, but Su Zhi still taught her and Xiao Rixinger some rules, because sometimes they would meet people like Zhou County Magistrate, and people who know etiquette are always more popular. So Yueyue was not afraid at all when she met Madam Ye, and she greeted and greeted them naturally.

Xiao Ri also came in at this time, bowed and greeted, just like a little adult.

Aunt Lan also came in and nodded to Madam Ye. As Su Zhi's godmother, she would not bow to Madam Ye, even if she was the prime minister's wife. She did not want to lose face for Su Zhi. Aunt Lan walked to Su Zhi and asked her if she was okay. She had been worried about Su Zhi all the way.

Su Zhi smiled and said, "I'm fine. Why didn't godmother take a break? You must be tired from running around with these two little guys."

"I'm not tired. You know how tough I am."

Su Zhi introduced Aunt Lan to Mrs. Ye.

Madam Ye stood up and bowed, saying, "Since you are my sister-in-law's godmother, you are also my elder, so I will call you Aunt Lan."

Su Zhi saw that there was no reluctance in Mrs. Ye's eyes, and nodded in her heart, thinking that Xing'er's biological parents were all good, and there was no distinction between high and low. This was good. Although Xing'er would definitely not suffer if he returned to his biological parents, she still hoped that he could be with someone who would be good for his growth, and it would be best if he did not grow up in a crooked way. Now it seemed that she could rest assured.

Aunt Lan said a few words and then left.

Mrs. Ye looked at Xiaori and Yueyue and liked them more and more. She thought Su Zhi was really good at raising children. Not only did she raise her Xing'er so well, but she also raised these two children so well. They were really like a perfect match!

"This is Xiaori and Yueyue, right? I'm Xing'er's mother, you can just call me aunt."

Mrs. Ye began to regret that she had rushed over as soon as she knew Su Zhi was coming, and she didn't even bring any gifts for the two children. She thought about her whole body, and finally took off a jade pendant and a gold bracelet inlaid with emerald from her wrist, and gave one to Xiaori and the other to Yueyue.

Xiaori and Yueyue glanced at Suzhi and saw that she had no objection, so they accepted it and bowed and thanked her obediently.

Madam Ye stayed here for a while, then stood up and said goodbye. She left with peace of mind after hearing Su Zhi say that she could go to treat the Second Prince's injuries at any time.

"Mother, please go and rescue Xing'er. I just went to his garden and saw a pond with lots of lotus flowers. Let him come back and pick them with us."

Yueyue told Suzhi what she hadn't finished saying, because Suzhi said Xing'er would be fine. And in order not to make them sad, she said Xing'er would not be wronged, but was just locked up. So Yueyue now just thought that rescuing Xing'er would be enough. She didn't burst into tears like before.

Su Zhi nodded and said, "Mother will go to rescue Xing'er tomorrow and bring her back."

Xiaori and Xing'er always trusted Su Zhi's words, because Su Zhi would never lie to them. After hearing what she said, both of them smiled.

Su Zhi listened to Xiaori and Yueyue talking for a while, then felt a little tired again and let them go and play.

In the evening, Ye Wenru and his wife prepared a sumptuous meal to welcome Shen Zian and his family, and discussed meeting the second prince the next day.

After returning to the yard, Su Zhi took a bath. She added spring water and lotus pollen to the bath, which made her feel refreshed. Naturally, Shen Zian received the same treatment. The couple lay comfortably on the bed, hugging each other and chatting.

Shen Zian already knew what Su Zhi was going to do, so he knew Xing'er would definitely return safely this time. With the Holy Beast by their side, no one would make things difficult for them. But he heard that the Second Prince and his mother, the Imperial Concubine, were both narrow-minded, and he didn't know if they would bear a grudge against them. He was naturally not afraid. But it was easier to dodge an open spear than to guard against an arrow from the dark, and he was still worried because his wife was pregnant.

Su Zhi smiled and said, "I am a blessed person, don't worry. Maybe there will be other good things waiting for us when we come to the capital this time."

Shen Zian felt relaxed thinking about how lucky his wife had always been.

The couple fell asleep and woke up the next day in high spirits. They changed into the best clothes they had brought, had breakfast, and then went to see Ye Wenru.

Xiao Bai and Xiao Hei followed Xiao Ri and Yue Yue, both were very well behaved, but still, everyone who saw them was sweating coldly. If Shen Zian and the others hadn't been following them, and they had experienced a fright yesterday, several of them would have fainted or run away screaming like yesterday.

Ye Wenru had returned from the morning court and was sitting and waiting with Mrs. Ye.

Mrs. Ye only saw Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai following behind Shen Zian at this time. Although she had heard about it from the maids, she was still scared when she saw them now and wanted to pull Xiao Ri and Yue Yue over. When she saw that the two just looked at her and had no intention of hurting anyone, she relaxed a little. When she saw Xiao Hei looking at her with his eyes and slightly tilting his head, she didn't know why she liked him a little.

Yueyue said, "Auntie, your eyes are very similar to Mom's. Xiaohei keeps staring at you. He must like you too."

Mrs. Ye laughed when she heard this. She thought that was the case. Xing'er also said that her eyes were similar to Su Zhi's. She didn't believe it because she had never seen anyone else with eyes like her since she was born. Only her distant aunt had eyes like her. She always thought that her eyes were the most beautiful in the world. With these eyes, she would not be disappointed even if she looked ordinary. Now that Su Zhi's eyes looked so similar to hers, she felt very close to them. It was as if God had given her a sister.

Su Zhi also felt that Mrs. Ye's eyes were very similar to hers. She thought that it was these eyes that gave her such a lovely son like Xing'er. She really should be grateful for these eyes.

Because of Yueyue's words, the group of people who were originally preparing to treat the Second Prince's injuries relaxed.

We couldn't bring too many people this time, so we left Liu Jin and Liu Yin at home. Aunt Lan didn't go either. We only took Old Man Lan with us. After all, Old Man Lan was good at martial arts, and if there was any accident, it would be best to take him with us.

Xiaori and Yueyue also wanted to go, but they were just children, and it was inconvenient to take them with them, so they didn't want to take them with them. However, Yueyue's pitiful little face made Su Zhi feel a little distressed.

Yueyue pulled Su Zhi's clothes and said, "Mother, I won't cause any trouble if I go. I want to come back with Xing'er."

When Mrs. Ye heard this, she looked at Yueyue with emotion, thinking that this child was very sensible in what she said. If the place they were going to was not the imperial palace, she really wanted to take them there.

Xiao Ri also spoke up at this time, saying, "Mom, take us with you. We will definitely behave ourselves and won't say anything nonsense or walk around randomly."

Su Zhi looked at Xiao Ri, this child was very stable and never made excessive requests. But today he asked to go, and she really couldn't bear to refuse him. In fact, she knew that there would be no danger in going today. At most, she would suffer a little at the beginning. After "curing" the prince, the imperial concubine would miss him. But whether she took Xiao Ri and Yue Yue with her or not, if someone really plotted against them, the situation at their home would definitely not be hidden. So it was okay to take the two children with her.

Su Zhi looked at Ye Wenru and said, "Brother Ye, I wonder if you can bring my children with you."

Ye Wenru said, "Since they are willing to follow us, then let's go together. But inside the palace, be careful with your words and don't get lost."

Yueyue laughed immediately after hearing this. She was very curious about the palace and wondered if it was like the castle in the stories her mother told her. But the prince who lived in the castle was a bad prince. How annoying!

The group got on the carriage and headed towards the palace.

Su Zhi sat in the carriage, opened the curtain, and looked at the hustle and bustle outside. She thought about herself coming to this world and being reborn as a peasant woman. She had also thought about visiting the capital city, but she had never thought that she would have such a entanglement with the prime minister and would have to take a walk through the palace. Sure enough, a time-traveling woman does not have an ordinary life.

Shen Zian was also looking at the street outside, thinking that this place was really prosperous. If his wife's family was really here, and she was a daughter of a wealthy family in this place, he wondered if she would like him as a son-in-law. He just looked at his wife and found that she was looking at him tenderly. He felt soft in his heart, thinking that as long as his wife always cared about him, it would be fine. Even if her family didn't like him, it would be fine as long as they didn't take her away from him.

As Yueyue and Xiaori were talking, you pointing at a shop and he talking about a stall, they seemed to have arrived at the destination very quickly.

Su Zhi sat in the carriage, looking at the palace getting closer and closer. She thought that although this palace was not the Forbidden City, it was also very magnificent. It turned out that every emperor liked to make a fuss about his own residence.

Four thousand words first, the next update will be later.
