"Xie Ning!"
Before Yuan Yaoren could even run out of the side room, the sound came out.
Xie Ning hurriedly pulled a silver needle from Yun Chan's body, drew out a crystal-clear red Gu worm, stuffed it into her sleeve, and shook her skirt.
He turned around slowly, looked at Yuan Yao, and patiently emphasized, "Be good, call me Uncle. It's very impolite to call me by my name."
Yuan Yao ignored him, took a breath, and asked, "Where is the imperial physician?"
At the door, the imperial physician entered upon hearing the voice: "Princess?"
Yuan Yao patted her chest with her small hand and asked, "Have you ever heard of the poison called Thousand Silk Inducing? Is there an antidote for it?"
"Thousand Threads..." Upon hearing this name, the imperial physician frowned: "I've seen this name in ancient books before..."
However, it's been so long, I can't quite remember the antidote's formula anymore.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Yao's eyes drooped in disappointment.
She spoke in a very low, childlike voice: "If we can't save Yun Chan, the Chu Kingdom will definitely use him as an excuse to deal with the Qi Kingdom."
If it really comes to that, Father will definitely be pushed out…
elder brother?
Xie Ning stepped forward: "I know the antidote formula for Thousand Threads."
"ah?"
Yuan Yao and the imperial physician looked over in surprise and doubt.
The imperial physician asked doubtfully, "I had no idea that Miss Danqing was also skilled in medicine?"
Xie Ning placed one hand flat on his chest and the other hand in a fist under his lips. He coughed lightly twice before speaking gently, "There's not much to do in the palace. When I have nothing to do, I collect some tricky books to read. I took a second look at the name 'Thousand Threads' because it sounds nice."
That makes sense, doesn't it?
The imperial physician nodded knowingly.
Xie Ning walked to the desk in the hall, spread out Xuan paper, ground the medicine, and began to write down the prescription: "These medicines are not easy to find, but the palace should have them..."
After the prescription was written, the imperial physician only glanced at it before being stunned: "Thousand-year-old ginseng, thousand-year-old snow lotus, thousand-year-old blood lingzhi..."
Besides ginseng, where else can we find snow lotus and blood lingzhi?
Not to mention the imperial physicians, even Yuan Yao thought this prescription was too difficult!
Her small figure stood by the desk, leaning closer to ask, "Does it have to be a thousand years old? Can these things really grow for a thousand years?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Ning looked up and laughed, "Not only can they live for a thousand years, but they can also become spirits, with long legs running around, specifically catching children to eat."
Yuan Yao: "!!!"
"Haha..." Xie Ning laughed out loud: "The princess is so funny, she fell for it so easily."
Yuan Yao: "..."
She glared angrily at Xie Ning: "Boring."
Xie Ning handed the prescription to the imperial physician: "According to the prescription, let's gather the other medicinal materials first. As for the others, you can ask His Majesty."
The imperial physician accepted the prescription and left with a worried expression.
After the imperial physician left, Yuan Yao finally spoke: "Xie Ning, you told my father the other day that your medical skills had improved a lot. Do you really understand medicine?"
"Hmm!" Xie Ning smiled.
Yuan Yao hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What illness does my father have? Is it serious?"
"Hmm..." Xie Ning clenched her fist and placed it to her lips: "Well, how should I put it?"
Yuan Yao: "?"
Seeing her wide eyes and curious expression, Xie Ning said helplessly, "Yao'er, it's not for children to concern themselves with adult matters. Be good."
Yuan Yao is so angry.
She felt like she had been tricked again.
She glared angrily at Xie Ning: "When are you finally going to return Danqing? And when will the poison you gave me take effect?"
Xie Ning maintained her gentle and bright smile: "As long as you behave, the poison won't take effect for now. As for Danqing, she'll be back after I've finished my business."
I'm so annoyed!
What difference does it make whether I said it or not?
Yuan Yao picked up her little skirt and ran back to Qianhua Palace.
The Ninth Prince had important business to attend to and went out again.
Xie Ning summoned all the palace servants and swaggered to sit at the Ninth Prince's desk, laying out paper and grinding ink, quite leisurely.
After Yuan Yao yawned for the tenth time, a young palace maid finally couldn't help but peek out and ask, "Sister Danqing, isn't the princess going to wash up and go to bed yet?"
Xie Ning looked up and saw Yuan Yao sitting on a soft chair, yawning repeatedly.
Upon hearing voices, Yuan Yao immediately opened her big, watery eyes and said warily, "I won't sleep until Daddy comes back!"
With Xie Ning, that devil, around, how could she possibly sleep?
What if he takes advantage of her being asleep and feeds her a few more poison pills?
Noticing the tears in Yuan Yao's eyes, Xie Ning smiled brightly: "Look at me, I almost forgot the time. Princess, it's time for you to sleep."
"I'm not sleeping!" Yuan Yao's eyes widened. "I said I'm waiting for my father to come back, so stay away from me!"
"Oh dear, the princess is being naughty again."
Xie Ning gracefully put down her brush, stood up, and walked towards Yuan Yao.
Yuan Yao was shocked: "What are you going to do to me?"
Xie Ning's smile remained unchanged as she walked up to Yuan Yao and gently waved her sleeve.
Before Yuan Yao lost consciousness, she only vaguely smelled a very faint scent of camellias...
The next day, Yuan Yao got out of bed.
A young palace maid heard the commotion and came over to roll up the bed curtains: "Is the princess awake?"
"Where's Father?" Yuan Yao rubbed her eyes.
The palace maid replied, "His Highness had urgent business to attend to last night and left the palace overnight."
What happened again?
Yuan Yao was speechless.
Just then, Xie Ning brought people in to help Yuan Yao dress and wash up.
Looking at the already late sky, Yuan Yao inexplicably became angry: "Danqing! I'm already late, why didn't you wake me up earlier?"
Xie Ning smiled faintly and said, "This servant saw that the princess was sleeping soundly and could not bear to wake you."
Sleeping soundly?
Speaking of this, Yuan Yao got angry: "Last night you..."
Xie Ning immediately replied, "Someone from Chaoyun Palace has come and said that Prince Yun woke up once last night."
Yun Chan is awake??
Yuan Yao asked excitedly, "Is there any hope for him?"
Xie Ning's lips curled up.
"Quickly!" Yuan Yao said happily, "Come with me to Chaoyun Palace!"
Yuan Yao went to Chaoyun Palace happily after barely eating two bites of breakfast.
Yun Chan's complexion was indeed better than yesterday, but he didn't wake up. Yuan Yao called him several times, but he still didn't respond at all.
Yuan Yao was deeply disappointed and turned away from the palace to go to school...
On the way, inside the carriage, Xie Ning said, "Yao'er, your uncle has something to take care of and can't return to Qianhua Palace this morning."
If your brother asks about it later, make up an excuse for your uncle and brush him off, understand?
"Go quickly!" Yuan Yao waved generously.
It's best if you go and don't come back!
wrong!
If Xie Ning doesn't come back, what will happen to her antidote?
Thinking of this, Yuan Yao entered the National Academy dejectedly.
She arrived at the National Academy a little late because she had gone to Chaoyun Palace.
Upon entering the school, the teacher was nowhere to be found!
The little kids huddled together in small groups, heads down, seemingly discussing something, making the whole school buzz.
Upon seeing Yuan Yao, everyone immediately fell silent, staring at her in fear.
Yuan Yao: "?"
What happened this time?
Just as she was wondering, Xie Zhi asked in a low voice, "Little Yao'er, I heard that Prince Xuanping rebelled last night? Has your father... returned to the palace?"
