Chapter 25 This is the Wuxuzi that can cure all poisons!
Zhao Siyuan was brought here by chance. As soon as he entered the door, he found a corner to stay in, indifferent to everything in front of him.
Hearing this, he pondered for a moment and then said, "The sachet belongs to that silly girl. Doesn't anyone else have access to the things inside?"
This implies that the contents might have been replaced.
When Xihe turned around, she found her fourth sister lazily sitting in the corner. They had a fight last time, but she didn't expect that the other party would speak up for her.
"Imperial sister~" Xihe smiled.
Zhao Siyuan curled his lips and turned away embarrassedly, still saying confidently, "This stupid girl is so foolish, how could she have the heart to hurt others? She's lucky she didn't get sold off."
Zhao Siyuan has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. He wants to excuse Xihe in his heart, but he is not merciful with his words.
It's so awkward.
Emperor Jingyuan glanced at the three children, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, showing more patience.
He raised his hand and called the imperial physician over to see what was in the sachet.
The imperial physician trembled as he took the sachet and poured out the contents. His eyes suddenly lit up, his hands unsteady. "What...what is this?"
The imperial physician was afraid he was mistaken, so he sniffed it quickly, picked another leaf and put it in his mouth. He was horrified and looked at Xihe as if he were looking at a god, "Did the princess put this there?"
Xihe nodded. "This is what I raised. I heard it helps me sleep. Last time, when my virtuous mother came to see me, she looked unwell, so I picked two and put them in. Is there anything wrong, Imperial Physician?"
Xihe had trouble sleeping, and Emperor Jingyuan didn't want to give the child medicine, so he found some sleep-inducing plants and placed them in the bedroom of Fuhua Palace. Unexpectedly, the little girl fell in love with growing plants, so Emperor Jingyuan waved his hand and collected many precious seeds for his little daughter.
The imperial physician was so excited that he went crazy. "Your Highness, do you know that this is the Wuxuzi that can cure all poisons? It's a life-saving medicine worth a fortune!"
The climate of Tianshuo is not suitable for the growth of the beardless tree, so it became extinct decades ago. Now, perhaps a few of them may survive if they move south.
Xihe laughed dryly. She knew of course that this was a mulberry tree. She had been raising it for three months before she got just one, as the others had all died.
The virtuous mother was so kind to her that she sent the whole thing over without a second thought.
Emperor Jingyuan naturally knew how powerful Wuxuzi was. "Are you sure?"
"I am certain, and I have a guess. I wonder if I should tell you."
"You say." Emperor Jingyuan said.
The imperial physician deliberated for a moment before speaking, "Your Majesty, you may not know this, but the reason this beardless seed is called a life-saving medicine is because it has the ability to draw out poison. Smelling this beardless seed for a long time will activate the toxins in the body. The black blood that Concubine Xian vomited was most likely the poison drawn out."
Emperor Jingyuan sneered, "You mean the virtuous concubine was poisoned a long time ago, but you didn't know it?"
Ping An asked for her pulse every day, but no one could tell that Concubine Xian was poisoned.
"Your humble servant is terrified. Your Majesty the Virtuous Concubine has great fortune." The imperial physician broke out in a cold sweat.
Emperor Jingyuan's expression was unclear, and everyone was afraid to breathe. After a long while, he said, "Detoxify the virtuous concubine!"
"I obey the decree."
The imperial physician held Wuxuzi in his arms and retreated cautiously.
Zhao Jinyuan was still in a daze. Xihe walked over, took his hand, and shook it. "Second brother, don't worry. Mother Consort will be fine."
Xihe's sweet voice rang in his ears. Zhao Jinyuan felt his eyes moisten and hugged his sister tightly. "Thank you, Xihe, thank you for saving mother."
Zhao Jinyuan felt truly deserving of death. His mother had been poisoned for so long, yet he had no idea. If it weren't for his sister's accidental delivery of the beardless child, he would have spent the rest of his life in regret.
"Don't be afraid, Xihe is here. The bad guys have been chased away." The little girl pretended to be an adult, patted Zhao Jinyuan on the back, and comforted him softly.
The Imperial Hospital acted quickly and put the pills into Concubine Xian's mouth after they were prepared. After about a quarter of an hour, Concubine Xian vomited blood again. The blood slowly turned back to bright red, and she slowly woke up.
The virtuous concubine had been through the gates of hell and had grown fond of people with pure hearts. Although her face was still pale, she held Xihe in her arms and said, "My little darling, you are truly the virtuous concubine's little blessing. I'm so lucky to have you."
Xihe didn't mind the blood stains on Concubine Xian's body at all. She leaned over and kissed her, "Concubine Xian, please get well soon. When the time comes, Xihe will bring you some delicious cakes!"
Xian Fei's eyes filled with tears, "Okay!"
The moment the words fell, the seedling in the space sprouted.
A towering tree grew in the open space next to the medicine pavilion, with red ribbons hanging on each branch, fluttering in the wind.
Xihe's mind moved.
[Big tree, big tree, please help my virtuous mother get well soon.]
In an instant, a ray of light scattered from the red ribbon and poured into the center of Concubine Xian's eyebrows. After a moment, Concubine Xian's face became a little more rosy.
Xihe looked at this scene in disbelief. Others could not feel it, but she could feel that the vitality of Concubine Xian was slowly returning.
If nothing unexpected happens, Concubine Xian will live a long and healthy life.
It turns out that this is a sacred tree that grants all wishes!
The virtuous concubine was not in high spirits and soon fell asleep again, but everyone was relieved.
Emperor Jingyuan and Concubine Chen stayed to deal with Concubine Su's affairs, and Zhao Jinyuan also had to take care of Concubine Xian, so Zhao Siyuan volunteered to send Xihe back.
After this incident, the news spread throughout the palace, and everyone said that Princess Zhaoyuan was a lucky star. Just as she helped the Xu family clean up the dirty water, a pot of flowers saved the life of Concubine Xian.
Everyone said that the little princess was a blessing from God to Tianshuo.
Zhao Siyuan walked in front, Xihe followed closely behind, and Yunhui and other palace maids walked far behind.
Suddenly Zhao Siyuan stopped and Xihe bumped into him head-on.
"Fourth Sister, what's wrong?"
Zhao Siyuan opened his mouth, looking troubled, and for a long time, he couldn't utter a word. After a long while, he scratched his head in frustration.
She has been acting recklessly for several years and doesn't even know how to apologize.
Xihe tried to suppress her laughter, her shoulders shaking violently.
Zhao Siyuan exploded immediately, "You little bastard!"
Before he finished speaking, he felt a soft body in his arms. Zhao Siyuan's face changed slightly, and he rarely threw the person away.
The silly girl's gentle voice came to my ears, "Fourth Sister, thank you."
Zhao Siyuan paused for a moment, looking down at the soft ball in his arms, and stammered out the unfinished words, "Well, that day, I was sorry for you."
Zhao Siyuan was famous for his arrogance. If he was tripped by a stone on the road, it was definitely the stone's fault, let alone anyone to apologize to.
She was not someone who could not distinguish right from wrong. When she returned that day, she tortured the servants around Concubine Yun Shu and got a completely different truth. For this, she had a big quarrel with Concubine Yun Shu.
Xihe chuckled, staring at Zhao Siyuan with her bright eyes, pretending to be aggrieved, "Fourth sister, it hurts so much when you make the nest, you have to compensate me!"
Zhao Siyuan was so angry that he almost laughed, "Shut up! It's obviously me who's in more pain! Are you born in the Year of the Dog?"
Xihe's bite was so fierce that it left no room for maneuver.
After speaking out, Xihe was not afraid at all and even made faces at Zhao Siyuan, causing Zhao Siyuan to raise his hand to deal with her.
While the two were playing around, Xihe suddenly cried out in pain and covered her arm without moving for a long time.
Zhao Siyuan stopped immediately, lifted up her clothes, and saw a purple bruise that looked particularly terrifying on her fair skin. "That bitch Supin actually dared to push you. It would be a good thing for her to be cut into pieces."
Asking someone to get the medicated oil, Zhao Siyuan applied it to Xihe himself, cursing under his breath, as if he wanted to pull out Su Bin's ancestors and whip them.
"You stupid girl, you were so fierce when you hit me, why didn't you confront that bitch?"
Xihe was listless, leaning against the bed, "Fourth sister, do you think I've been having some bad luck lately?"
Zhao Siyuan snorted unhappily, "What do you mean?"
Xihe sighed, looking disillusioned with the world, and said confidently, "I just had a fight with my Third Brother this morning, and then I got pushed around at noon. It's so unlucky."
"What! That bastard Third Brother dares to hit you?" Zhao Siyuan exploded and looked at Xihe in disbelief.
Xihe was so frightened that she shrank back, blinking at her furious fourth sister, "Sister, please use civilized language."
Zhao Siyuan picked up the vase on the bedchamber table and rushed out, "What are you waiting for? I'll let him come and apologize to you!"
A man ran out in a hurry and couldn't be stopped.
Xihe nestled in Yunhui's arms and smiled like a little fox. Yunhui sighed helplessly as she watched her little princess blatantly cheating others.
After applying the medicated oil, Xihe took out a storybook from under the pillow.
Fortunately, she secretly kept a copy, which was her spiritual food.
Xihe flipped through three pages when a noisy sound came from outside the palace door.
Zhao Siyuan came in through the curtain, holding a dirty... monster in his hand?
She threw him to the center and sternly said, "Apologize!"
Xihe blinked for a long time and didn't recognize that the person in front of him with messy hair and dirty body was Zhao Zhinan.
"Fourth sister, what did you do to him?"
Zhao Siyuan rolled his eyes, poured himself a cup of tea, and said, "It has nothing to do with me. He was already like this when I caught him."
Xihe was even more confused. She just applied the itching cream and didn't do anything else.
Zhao Zhinan slumped on the ground in an ungraceful manner, wiped the water from his head twice, and sighed.
As soon as he left the National Academy, he began to itch intensely. He'd barely taken two steps when a basin of water poured down his head. He swore a few words before someone put him in a sack, dragged him into an alley, and beat him. Not only did they leave, they also dumped him in a stinking ditch. If Zhao Siyuan hadn't come looking for him, he'd probably still be lying there until tomorrow.
Zhao Zhinan looked at Xihe with a sullen expression, "Xihe, I won't dare offend you again."
He is not a fool, how could he not react?
Xihe pursed her lips and said, "Then you can't talk about little brother like that in the future, or I will beat you."
The little girl waved her fists, as if she was ready to do it again.
The Third Prince quietly took two steps back and said, "Just for that proton, you treated me like this. Is he your brother or am I your brother?"
The little girl hesitated for a moment, then answered decisively, "Both!"
The third prince was itching to bite.
Xihe jumped off the couch and squatted in front of the Third Prince, feeling bitter and resentful. "Third brother, did he volunteer to be a hostage?"
Zhao Zhinan paused and shook his head.
As far as he knew, the hostage that Beili originally intended to send was the eldest prince born to his favorite concubine, but something happened later. The Queen of Beili died suddenly, and the four-year-old Xiao Mingxuan became a hostage.
"If you were in their shoes, would you be willing to be treated like this?" Xihe supported his chin and said word by word.
She would never show mercy to those who did something wrong. But what had Xiao Mingxuan done wrong when he was only four years old and knew nothing?
She has always believed that everyone has their own destiny and is not subject to fixed constraints.
"Whoever dares to touch me, I will kill him!" The third prince jumped up suddenly, and the next second his face changed suddenly as if he thought of something.
Xihe pursed his lips and stared at Zhao Zhinan without saying a word.
Zhao Siyuan is older than Xihe and smarter than Zhao Zhinan.
She lowered her expression and said, "If he can stay quiet, then this is the way to go."
Xiao Mingxuan has the blood of the Beili royal family in his body. If he can't be friendly to him, then they will just live in peace.
The third prince was not a petty person. He thought that the two sides were even, so he changed his clothes and returned to his usual lazy look.
"Do you two also like to read this storybook?" Looking at the two sisters huddled together, Zhao Zhinan curiously leaned over to take a look.
"Does the third brother like it too?" Xihe suddenly remembered that her third brother loved listening to music. They had the same goal and he might have a better book in his hand.
Zhao Zhinan straightened his back immediately. "Of course, but I prefer listening to watching!"
The third prince is an expert in eating, drinking and having fun, and he could talk about it for three days and three nights without finishing his story.
The two little girls immediately became interested and said, "I want to go!"
The third prince and his two sisters felt that they had met too late, so they immediately packed their bags and prepared to leave the palace.
As soon as he went out, he met Shi Jian from Mingyue Palace.
"This servant greets the Third Prince. I hope the two princesses are well."
Xihe came up to him when he saw someone he knew, "Is there something wrong, little brother?"
Shi Jian shook his head. "The young master asked me to come and see if the princess had returned. There's nothing else to do."
Xihe suddenly remembered something, ran into the hall, brought out a food box, and handed it to Shijian, "This is cake for little brother, please."
Shi Jian lowered his head unconsciously at the girl's obvious trust in him, "I will pass it on to you, princess, don't worry."
Turning to look at the Third Prince and Fourth Princess waiting on the side, Shi Jian asked, "Princess, are you going out?"
Xihe opened her mouth, then the words came back in a circle. "No...no, I just came out to get some fresh air. I'll go back to read soon."
It’s better for as few people as possible to know that she sneaked out of the palace. If her father finds out, she will be in trouble.
Shi Jian lowered his head and retreated.
Zhao Siyuan and Xihe hid in the third prince's carriage and were allowed to pass after showing the token.
As soon as they left the palace, the two little girls leaned on the car window to look around, finding everything new and interesting.
"Let's go to Yunfanglou for dinner first, and then I'll take you to listen."
"Okay!" the two little girls shouted in unison, looking at Zhao Zhinan with admiration in their eyes.
Zhao Zhinan used a fan to cover the corners of his lips that couldn't be suppressed, and his brows were full of joy.
His image as a tall and mighty brother was finally preserved.
Yunfang Tower was his property, and he always reserved the best private rooms there. The Third Prince had the two girls sent up there before he quietly slipped out.
The two little girls took the menu and quickly ordered a large table of their favorite food.
