The imperial physician rushed over, carefully took Su Qiqi's pulse, and carefully checked Su Qiqi's injuries.
"The red mark on the princess's neck isn't too serious. Applying some ointment will heal it in half a month. But..."
The imperial physician changed the subject, frowned, sighed deeply, and continued, "The wounds on the body can be seen, but the wounds on the heart cannot. He was frightened like this at such a young age. If he were to suffer from any hidden illness..."
This imperial physician is quite good at judging the situation. Knowing my injuries aren't serious, he brought up psychological issues as an excuse. Hehe, absolutely brilliant.
[It seems my acting is pretty good, but then again, I have to do the whole act.]
"Anyway, I've already eaten and drunk enough, and this party isn't very interesting. I might as well just go back to bed early."
Thinking of this, Su Qiqi looked up at the emperor and said softly, "Father, I feel dizzy and weak all over. I want to go back to the palace to rest."
Although he knew that Su Qiqi was pretending, the emperor still couldn't help but feel distressed when he saw Su Qiqi's weak and pitiful appearance.
He said to Zhao Xu, "Send the princess back to Yongle Palace and have someone take good care of her. Also, make some tranquilizing and sleeping medicine for her."
"Yes." Zhao Xu responded and walked over, ready to send Su Qiqi back.
"No need. I will accompany Qiqi back."
The Queen Mother said something and walked out of the palace, taking Su Qiqi's hand.
Seeing this, Mo Yunchi followed.
//
As the sun sets, there is a burst of joy in Changle Palace.
Su Qiqi, who was originally "frightened", sat on the couch, holding the cards in her hand and smiling.
Yan Xi, who was beside Su Qiqi, reached out and pushed Mo Yunchi, urging him, "Hurry up! The flowers are almost wilting from waiting!"
Mo Yunchi looked at the woman in green sitting across from him, then glanced at the cards in his hand. Finally, he sighed softly, "Mother, Aunt, you're all so grown-ups now, can't you give us younger generations a little leeway? You guys always win and we always lose, how boring."
The woman in green laughed and said, "If I give in to you, I'll be looking down on you."
Yan Xi agreed: "That's right, there are no fathers and sons at the card table! Play your cards quickly, don't dawdle!"
“…”
Mo Yunchi sighed softly and threw down two cards helplessly: "Dual."
"Royal bomb! Five, six, seven planes! I win again!"
Yan Xi threw all the cards in her hand onto the table, grinning from ear to ear.
Mo Yunchi didn't get angry either, and shuffled and dealt the cards obediently, his movements very skillful.
Just then, a group of people walked in from outside the door.
Su Qiqi was stunned: [Father, the Emperor, Mother, the Empress, and Princess Lu Hongxuan...why are there so many people?!]
"Qiqi, are you feeling better? Are you feeling unwell?" the emperor asked worriedly.
Lu Hongxuan couldn't hide the worry between his eyebrows. "The red mark under your neck hasn't faded yet. Have you applied the medicine? I have a box of the best jade skin cream. I'll have someone send it to you later."
Su Qiqi put the cards back on the table and said, "My injuries are minor and only look scary. By the way, that Zhao Huimin..."
"She has been beheaded. I will ask the envoy from Fufeng Kingdom to bring her body back." When the emperor spoke of Zhao Huimin, his tone became three points colder.
"Oh." Su Qiqi nodded, thoughtfully.
The emperor couldn't help but frown. "This is not your fault. Zhao Huimin brought it upon herself. You don't need to blame yourself for her death. Returning to her roots is my greatest gift to her."
Lu Qingyuan echoed, "Yes, Qiqi, don't overthink it. She deserves death for daring to hurt you."
"Father, Aunt, Brother, Mother, you can all rest assured. I have no burden in my heart. I feel very relaxed."
Su Qiqi tried her best to remain calm, but her heart was already filled with joy.
Finally, Zhao Huimin, the major hidden danger, has been completely eliminated. Now Lu Hongxuan has escaped that damn tragic situation.
Ah! The country is peaceful and the people are safe, my family is safe, and my life is worry-free. From now on, every day will be a carefree and free day! No more worries!
[Wuhu! I really want to set off some fireworks to celebrate!]
"In this way, I finally feel at ease. By the way, where is mother?" Lu Qingyuan asked.
Su Qiqi said truthfully, "The Empress Dowager saw that I was fine and that someone was accompanying me. She also felt tired and exhausted, so she went back to Shouning Palace to rest."
Hearing this, Lu Qingyuan looked at the emperor and said, "I have something to discuss with the Queen Mother. I will take my leave first."
"Um."
The emperor responded, and after seeing Lu Qingyuan leave, he turned his gaze to Yan Xi in the room.
"Miss Yan is a rare visitor. What brings you here?"
Yan Xi raised her eyebrows slightly: "Why, you don't welcome me? Then I'll leave?"
Shen Mingyue said, "What nonsense are you talking about! I've been looking forward to your visit every day, but you came all of a sudden without even mentioning it, and I didn't even accompany you. I really didn't treat you well enough."
"I know you're the best to me."
Yan Xi smiled and stood up. She walked over and pulled up the woman in green clothes next to Mo Yunchi. "Mingyue, let me introduce you. This is the Poison Fairy Ye Tan. She has nothing to do and wants to take Qiqi as her disciple."
"Accept Qiqi as your disciple?"
"Accept me as your disciple?"
The emperor was stunned, Lu Hongxuan was stunned, the emperor was stunned, and Su Qiqi was also stunned.
[Is this a piece of cake? I actually met my idol in my own home? And my idol is eager to take me in as his apprentice?]
[But usually, it's the apprentices who beg to become their disciples. How can a master come to them on his own initiative?]
[I remember the original book mentioning that Ye Tan was a naive and unworldly person. She had a good relationship with Yan Xi. Logically speaking, Yan Xi wouldn't harm me, so Ye Tan shouldn't hurt me either, right?]
