The news of Concubine Yu's illness quickly spread throughout the harem.
Royal doctors came in waves, but to little avail. The abscesses were still there and were becoming more and more hideous.
"You are all useless. You can't even cure a minor illness! Damn you, damn you all!"
It was another late night, and Concubine Yu, with pus-filled boils all over her body, was furious at a group of timid imperial doctors.
The imperial doctors didn't dare to breathe, for fear of offending their ancestors and getting beaten again, so they could only kneel there in silence.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I have a solution, but I don't know if I should tell you..."
At the side, the little palace maid Zhu'er pinched Concubine Yu's shoulder and spoke carefully.
"Come on, tell me!"
As if she had grabbed a life-saving straw, Concubine Yu looked at Zhu'er excitedly, took out a hairpin from her hair, and pinned it on Zhu'er's temple.
"Here, this hairpin is yours. It is the dowry I brought from my parents' home. If it works, I will give you another reward."
...
...
"Thank you, Madam. I will tell you everything I know!"
Zhu'er knelt down with a start and kowtowed to Concubine Yu.
Standing up again, Zhu'er smiled and said in a relaxed tone, "Your Highness, I know a Taoist priest from Western Chu who is best at treating various difficult and complicated diseases. Your Highness's illness is strange, but he will most likely be able to cure it with his medicine."
"The Western Chu State's alchemist?" Concubine Yu's eyes lit up, and she tightly grasped Zhu'er's arm. "What's his name, and where does he live now? Tell me now!"
"His name seems to be Su Han, Su as in Su Ye and Han as in cold. As for where he is now... He is in the largest inn in the capital!"
Zhu'er hesitated for a moment, but soon remembered. As soon as she finished speaking, Concubine Yu immediately sent someone to invite her.
Soon, the palace servants returned and brought back a man dressed in foreign clothes.
He had a straight nose, sunken eyes, a curly beard, and healthy wheat-colored skin. The look in his eyes was full of respect.
"Can you really cure my illness?"
Yu Fei sat leisurely on the armchair, holding a cup of tea, leaning forward slightly, "If you really recover, I promise to give you endless wealth and glory."
"Thank you, madam. Actually, you are not ill but cursed. You just need to use the blood of the curser as medicine every day, and the curse will be lifted after seven days."
"Casting a spell? Then who is the one casting the spell?"
"The secret of heaven cannot be revealed. Your Majesty, just think about who you have offended recently, and you will naturally figure it out."
Who did she offend? After a brief thought, Yu Fei thought of the sweet soup in the air and Su Lili's gloating smile.
"Is it the little princess Su Lili? That's right, it's her. She's taking revenge on me for that bitch Consort Xian!"
"Your Majesty is smart." Su Han bowed, his smile deepening. "Now, Your Majesty also knows what to do, right?"
"Good, very good, this is the reward you deserve, please accept it."
Concubine Yu heaved a sigh of relief and immediately asked Zhu'er to bring a full box of pearls, plus five hundred taels of gold and five thousand taels of silver notes.
After receiving the reward, Su Han's mouth corners almost curled up to the sky, and he immediately knelt on the ground respectfully.
"Thank you for your gift, Your Majesty. I am very grateful and would like to personally take care of your health until you recover."
Thinking of the task assigned to him, he dared not be negligent in the slightest. Besides, there was a reward to be received, so why not do it?
"Haha, hahahahahahaha, that's great! Someone, arrange a room for Master Su, provide him with good food and drink, and satisfy all his requests!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty. May Your Majesty live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years!"
Su Han bowed deeply again, and then a pair of young eunuchs came and took him to a side hall.
Walking in Ziwei Palace, you can see small bridges, flowing water, pavilions, lush trees and blooming flowers. It is a beautiful late summer scene, but it seems quite deliberate.
"Very good, it's worthy of being the Great Yong Kingdom's palace." Su Han smiled slightly and stroked his short beard, "But it won't be long before it will be in the pocket of the Western Chu Kingdom, hahahahaha!"
The decoration of the side hall is not as luxurious as that of the main hall, but it has everything it should have.
Su Han nodded with satisfaction, then named a bunch of dishes, lay down on the couch with his clothes on, and planned to enjoy a life of wealth and luxury.
"Little fairy, little fairy, you would never have thought that that person has also come down to earth with you, and knows all your every move."
"As the saying goes, your good days are finally coming to an end!"
In the warm room, Su Han held a piece of grass in his mouth, hummed a little tune, and closed his eyes very comfortably.
Over there, Concubine Xian was still dozing off, when Zhu'er suddenly sneaked in, picked up Su Lili and left.
After hurrying all the way, they soon returned to Ziwei Palace.
After pressing the mechanism, the bookshelf on the wall automatically slid open, revealing a dark hole.
"Okay, this is it. Quickly lock the little bastard in there and start taking his blood for medicine!"
Concubine Yu couldn't wait to restore her appearance, and she also couldn't wait to take revenge.
The dagger gently cut the baby's delicate skin, and blood dripped into the bowl. Only after the bowl was full did he carry Su Lili back.
Holding the bright red blood, Zhu'er and Yufei left the dark room, but they didn't know that a black shadow quickly rushed into the dark room when they were not paying attention.
On the other side, the effect of the anesthetic wore off, and Su Lili was awakened by the pain of the wound on her arm. She had lost too much blood and could no longer mobilize her spiritual power.
Looking around, it was pitch black and there was a foul and damp smell.
She has been pampered since she was a child. When has she ever suffered such a hardship?
Su Lili curled her lips and immediately started to cry loudly, her cry was shrill and miserable, and heartbreaking.
"Little princess? Don't cry, little princess. I'm here!"
She was crying so hard when suddenly someone grabbed her arm, bandaged it with rags, and sprinkled it with hemostatic medicine.
The powder worked quickly, the bleeding stopped, and the wound was not as painful anymore.
[You, who are you? Why are you helping me? ]
Su Lili sniffed and looked over in shock, only to see a pair of slightly flickering eyes in the darkness.
Hearing Su Lili's voice, Hu Yancuo finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then hugged Su Lili tightly in his arms.
"Okay, it's okay, I'll take you away now!"
Hu Yancuo held the baby in his arms and followed his memory of the trip here, and soon arrived at the exit of the study.
Before I could find a way to open the door, the entrance to the cave suddenly opened automatically.
Standing outside the cave were the little palace maid Zhu'er, the gloomy-looking Concubine Yu, and the sinister-looking Su Han.
"You, don't come over here, don't hurt the little princess!"
Hu Yancuo hugged him tightly, his face as pale as death.
