Before stripping Yun Chan of her clothes, Xie Ning raised his hand and blasted Yuan Yao out.
Once the doors of the Pillow Star Palace close and reopen, it's sunset.
Xie Ning wiped the sweat from her forehead, her hands trembling, and said, "Tired, hungry..."
Seeing the smile on his lips, Yuan Yao knew that Yun Chan was saved!
She lifted the hem of her skirt, ran over, and said happily, "Thank you for your hard work! Can I go see Yunchan?"
Xie Ning nodded: "Go ahead. That kid woke up once halfway through and almost messed things up, but luckily I knocked him out."
Yuan Yao: "?"
Yun Chan is awake?
Yun Chan was knocked unconscious again?
Yuan Yao's lips twitched, and she said in a childish voice, "You wouldn't really cut off his flesh and scrape off his bones, would you?"
"Yes." Xie Ning smiled brightly, "I was very gentle, it shouldn't hurt much."
Yuan Yao: "..."
She had already begun to feel sorry for Yun Chan.
Fortunately, we were saved!
At this moment, Xie Ning said, "Yao'er, ask the imperial physician if he has found the medicines he asked him to find."
If it's found, we need to prepare it as soon as possible and have Yunchan take it continuously for a month.
"You mean those thousand-year-old snow lotuses, blood spirit mushrooms, and stuff like that?" Yuan Yao asked in surprise. "But didn't you have the antidote?"
Xie Ning: "..."
Xie Ning said gently, "Silly Yao'er, isn't it because Yun Chan's body is too weak, that his uncle wants to help him recover?"
Was the search for the thousand-year-old snow lotus and lingzhi mushroom merely to nourish Yun Chan's body?
Not because it's meant to be used to make an antidote?
Yuan Yao was speechless.
After having the palace maids prepare hot water and bring clean clothes, Yuan Yao urged Xie Ning to find a room in Chaoyun Palace to take a bath.
Before going to see Yun Chan, Yuan Yao summoned the imperial physician: "Those few herbs don't necessarily need to be thousand years old; a hundred years old will do."
"Please trouble the imperial physician to search for it. If he cannot find it, I will then ask my father for help."
The imperial physician nodded: "Princess, rest assured, it's a hundred years old, no problem."
Yuan Yao breathed a sigh of relief.
In the Pillow Star Palace, the candlelight flickered dimly.
Yun Chan lay quietly on the bed. Xie Ning, who was very clean, treated him and then kindly cleaned his body again, and changed him into clean clothes and a clean blanket.
His face, though still pale, was much better than it had been two days ago...
Yun Chan has resolved the crisis, so can the Ninth Prince also be considered to have resolved the crisis?
Feeling utterly bored, Yuan Yao walked to the desk inside the hall.
She looked down and saw a sheet of Xuan paper spread on the desk, on which were written three characters: "Spring in all seasons".
Yuan Yao was stunned for a moment.
Is this the name he gave her for the shop?
Springtime all year round...
Yuan Yao picked up the Xuan paper with her small hands, folded it neatly, tucked it into her sleeve, walked to the bedside, stood on tiptoe, and said happily, "Yun Chan, I like the name 'Four Seasons of Spring,' thank you! Please wake up soon!"
She called Xie Ning, who had finished bathing, and they happily left Chaoyun Palace.
Qianhua Palace.
The Ninth Prince went to the Haoran Hall and has not returned.
Upon inquiring, Yuan Yao learned that the Ninth Prince hadn't even returned for dinner...
Xie Ning asked, "Is the meal ready?"
The palace servant replied, "They're all being kept warm in the kitchen, just waiting for His Highness to return and eat."
Waiting?
If he doesn't come back, will we not get to eat tonight?
Yuan Yao thought for a moment and said, "Pack all the food into food boxes and come with me to Haoran Hall."
"Yes," the palace maid replied, and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute." Yuan Yao called out to her, "Since it's a meeting, the adults in Haoran Hall must not have had dinner yet."
Tell Sister Yu'er to pack all the pastries, and take a lot, so I can bring them to Haoran Palace.
The palace maid received the order and hurriedly left.
Half an hour later, Yuan Yao led a group of palace maids and appeared at the entrance of Haoran Hall.
Upon seeing her, the guards at Haoran Palace immediately bowed in surprise: "Princess, His Highness and his ministers are discussing important matters."
Yuan Yao waved her hand, and a palace maid brought a food box and handed it to one of the guards: "Thank you for your hard work on duty. This is a midnight snack prepared by the princess for you."
The guard accepted the heavy food box and said respectfully, "Thank you for your generosity, Princess. Please come in."
A large group of people entered the Haoran Hall in a grand procession.
Even before they reached the palace, the sounds of court officials discussing the matter could be heard inside.
It seems there are quite a few people.
Xie Ning leaned forward and asked, "Shall we go in now?"
“Mm.” Yuan Yao nodded.
She lifted the hem of her skirt and laboriously stepped over the threshold of the main hall, which was higher than her knees, and walked inside.
A sharp-eyed eunuch greeted her with a smile, "Why has the princess come in person?"
Yuan Yao said in a childish voice, "I've come to bring food to Father and all the adults."
The hall fell silent.
Many people looked toward the door.
Upon seeing Yuan Yao, some people couldn't help but touch their bellies, their eyes filled with anticipation.
ah!
Princess Yuan Yao has brought them delicious food again!
Yuan Yao obediently walked into the hall and said in a childish voice, "Daddy, Yao'er is here."
The Ninth Prince's gloomy face cleared up the moment he saw her: "Little Yao'er, come here."
Yuan Yao smiled and said towards the door, "Come in, everyone."
Immediately, a group of palace maids entered in single file, carrying food boxes, and began distributing the food.
Yuan Yao toddled up to the Ninth Prince with her short legs, opened her arms, and said, "Daddy, hug me..."
The Ninth Prince bent down, picked her up, and said with a smile, "Why didn't you stay in Qianhua Palace? What are you doing coming all this way?"
Yuan Yao wrapped her arms around the Ninth Prince's neck and said earnestly, "Father didn't eat properly at noon, and I was afraid that Father would be hungry, so I came over."
She thought to herself, "She's such a sweet and considerate girl!"
The Ninth Prince freed one hand and pinched her soft cheek, asking, "Are you tired?"
"Not tired!" Yuan Yao replied in a childish voice.
The Ninth Prince smiled and said to the assembled officials in the hall, "Let's have our meal first."
So, a group of adults gathered together and almost got into a fight over a certain dessert...
Yuan Yao sat next to the Ninth Prince and found it amusing.
She said in her childish voice, "Daddy, these adults seem to really like Yao'er's desserts!"
"And then?" The Ninth Prince took a sip of soup and looked at her with a smile.
Yuan Yao held the jade spoon in her little hand and said earnestly, "Daddy, aren't you going to hold a banquet and invite people to feed the fish? Can you give the desserts for the banquet to Yao'er?"
"Yao'er is opening a shop, so this is a good opportunity to test the waters and see how popular these desserts are!"
So that's what this little guy was planning?
The Ninth Prince chuckled: "I grant your permission."
"Thank you, Father!" Yuan Yao was so happy she almost jumped up.
The father and daughter were enjoying their meal when a discordant voice rang out in the hall: "Lord Zhang, are you eating so much so that you'll have the energy to deal with the envoy from Chu who has returned?"
The man called Lord Zhang, with a sweet cake still stuffed in his mouth, glared at the words and puffed out his beard: "The Chu envoy has come to question the assassination of the young prince. It concerns the peace between our two countries. Do you think I can handle this?"
Has the Chu envoy returned?
What's going on?
Yuan Yao looked at the Ninth Prince in surprise: "Father, has the State of Chu found out about Yun Chan's assassination?"
Upon hearing this, the Ninth Prince put down his chopsticks, his expression gloomy: "It's not just an assassination attempt; even Yun Chan's tetanus infection has been leaked."
The Chu envoy insisted that Yun Chan was beyond medical help and demanded an explanation from me and the Great Qi Kingdom.
