Ye Chutang nodded, but narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at her.
Xiao Lanxi felt inexplicably flustered by this look: "What, what happened?"
"Nothing, it's just... judging from her pulse, the princess was poisoned, and the poison even penetrated deep into her lungs, which was extremely dangerous. But for some reason, the princess' body has no other obvious symptoms except that she is a little weak."
Ye Chutang paused and smiled slightly.
"The princess must have been blessed with great fortune and was able to save her life."
After listening for a long time, Concubine Ru finally understood: "...You mean, her current situation is a blessing in disguise?"
Ye Chutang nodded: "If it were someone else, they might not be able to hold on. What medicine did the princess use at that time?"
Xiao Lanxi was a little confused: "I... I don't know. I only brought two maids and two guards with me that day. When I fainted, there happened to be a local farmer next to me. He picked some herbs and fed them to me. My maids and guards were reluctant at first, but there was no other way at the time, so we had to let him try. Later, I got better."
In desolate and remote places, there are countless kinds of snakes, insects, rats and ants. Whether they are poisonous or not and how to treat the poisoning are often best known by the locals who have lived there for many years.
She was indeed quite lucky.
Ye Chutang took back his hand: "The princess is fine, there is no need to worry. I will write a prescription to replenish blood and qi. The princess will get better if she takes it for a month."
Xiao Lanxi was surprised and delighted: "Really? Thank you so much!"
Concubine Ru was also relieved: "That's good, that's good...Lan Xi, this is too dangerous! I can save my life once, but what about twice? Three times?"
Xiao Lanxi showed a well-behaved and playful smile: "Mother, my daughter has returned to the capital now, how could such a thing happen again?"
Concubine Ru still looked frightened. She patted her chest lightly and said angrily, "You are just too careless!"
She turned to look at Emperor Mu Wu and pleaded softly, "Your Majesty, Guanling is still too remote and too dangerous! I am really worried. Lan Xi is seventeen this year, and it is time for her to discuss marriage. Why don't you find a marriage for her and keep her in the capital so that she can accompany me? What do you think?"
The palace maid had already brought over the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone. Ye Chutang lowered his eyes and focused on writing the prescription, as if he didn't hear what Concubine Ru said at all.
Emperor Mu Wu glanced at Xiao Lanxi thoughtfully.
Xiao Lanxi seemed to have never expected that Concubine Ru would suddenly bring up this matter, and her face turned red from her cheeks to her ears.
"Mother, Mother..."
Emperor Mu Wu did not like his daughter, but he had not seen her for many years. The little girl in his memory had grown into a beautiful young lady. Especially when he heard her talk about how she had been poisoned and almost died in the past, it was impossible for him to feel no emotion at all.
A rare trace of guilt appeared in his eyes, although it was very faint, it was enough.
After a long silence, Emperor Mu Wu finally said, "Okay."
Xiao Lanxi opened her eyes slightly in astonishment, but Concubine Ru reacted very quickly and immediately said with a smile: "Lanxi, why don't you thank your father!"
Xiao Lanxi stood up, walked to the middle and kowtowed.
"Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace. Long live your Majesty."
Although she walked in a hurry, every move she made was polite.
Emperor Mu Wu looked at her and felt even more satisfied with his daughter, whom he had not cared about for several years.
He smiled and asked, "Which one do you think is the best choice for Lan Xi to marry among the many young talents in the capital?"
Concubine Ru rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "The second son of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery is just coming of age this year. He is handsome and has both talent and appearance. He is a perfect match for Lan Xi. I think he is the most suitable."
Ye Chutang paused for a moment.
Oh no, Xie Anbai.
That young master pretended to be sick and didn't come today. I don't know where he is having fun now. But he probably didn't expect that even if he didn't come, all this wealth would still fall into his hands.
Alas, if a person is blessed, nothing can stop it.
The eldest princess frowned, seeming to disapprove: "That boy is naughty, how can he be a good choice?"
Who in the entire capital doesn’t know about the devil Xie family?
No family that loves their daughter would be willing to marry her to him.
Concubine Ru smiled and said, "The princess is overly worried. Young people are unstable and like to have fun, which is not a big deal. Once he gets married, he will naturally become steady and down-to-earth."
The eldest princess still refused to give in.
Xie Anbai and Shen Yanchuan are close friends. She understands her grandson and also understands Xie Anbai.
This marriage definitely cannot be granted.
"There are countless talented young people in the capital. Lan Xi has just returned to the capital, so there is no need to rush. We can take our time to select." The eldest princess said lightly.
Concubine Ru looked a little unhappy.
The eldest princess' attitude is so clear, I'm afraid Your Majesty will not agree.
Sure enough, the next moment Emperor Mu Wu spoke up: "That's right. That kid is still immature. The Xie family is in turmoil all day long. Apart from Xie Pei's grandson, he is the only one left. Even if he is tied up, he can run away in the middle of the night. Why bother?"
The smile on the concubine's lips completely froze.
But she quickly recovered and said softly, "It was my fault for not thinking it through."
"No problem. Lan Xi will live in the palace from now on, so just pick something for her."
The matter was left at that.
When the princess saw Ye Chutang stop writing, she asked, "Chutang, have you finished writing the recipe?"
"yes."
Ye Chutang nodded, handed over the prescription, and gave some instructions on how to prepare the medicine.
The princess smiled and said, "It's boring in this tent. There's nothing fun to do. Besides, you've been out for a while. If Xiaowu can't find you, he must miss you very much. You should go back first."
Ye Chutang bowed and then walked out.
When I left the tent, I could hear the faint laughter of the imperial concubine coming from inside: "They have been in the forest for a while, and they will probably be back soon."
It sounded like he was not at all bothered by what had just happened.
As if it was just a casual remark.
Ye Chutang walked forward with a calm expression.
Princess Qinyang was holding Xiaowu and playing with him. When Ye Chutang approached, he found that Xiaowu was holding a small slingshot in his hand.
She suddenly had a headache.
We finally got rid of Afeng, why is another one coming?
Are they obsessed with turning Xiaowu into a little gangster?
But Xiaowu was very considerate, perhaps because of the foundation laid by her fourth brother, she threw a stone casually, and it flew out and bounced onto a fallen leaf in front.
"Xiao Wu, are you so powerful?" Princess Qinyang's eyes suddenly lit up.
Xiaowu was praised and smiled happily.
Hearing the noise, she turned around first, saw Ye Chutang, immediately threw away the slingshot in her hand, and ran over quickly.
