Qiao Jiaojiao spent the second Mid-Autumn Festival of her life on the road.
The moon in the wilderness looked particularly big. Jiaojiao missed her mother very much. She couldn't help dropping a few golden beans while writing a letter home. She also asked Qiao Tianjing to write "I miss you so much" ten times before she stopped.
At dusk on August 20th, the Yong Dynasty's birthday celebration team finally arrived at the border between Baopiling and Nanli Kingdom.
Qiao Zhongguo ordered to rest and set off again tomorrow.
Qiao Tianjing was holding Qiao Jiaojiao and strolling around to relieve their boredom, when they suddenly heard the sound of hurried horse hooves in the distance.
Qiao Tianjing was instantly alert, and Qiao Jiaojiao also stretched her neck to look. The person who came back was Qiao Jiu, who served as a scout in this trip!
"Sir! Princess Nanning is here to welcome us. She will be here in about half a quarter of an hour!"
Qiao Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment, but when she realized that Princess Nanning was Meng Guxue, her eyes suddenly lit up.
Qiao Tianjing quickly turned around to message Qiao Zhongguo.
Half a quarter of an hour later, the uniform sound of horse hooves arrived as expected. Meng Guxue, who was riding in the front, had her long hair flying, exuding a heroic look!
She saw Qiao Zhongguo from a distance and raised her hands happily and shouted, "Master Qiao!"
Qiao Zhongguo's brows relaxed. He didn't expect that when he saw Meng Guxue again, she would be able to ride a horse so fast.
As he took a step forward, Meng Guxue had already jumped off his horse and walked quickly towards him.
"Ms. Meng, long time no see!"
"Master Qiao, long time no see!"
At this moment, Meng Guxue's eyes were slightly sore, and she felt a sense of joy and relief at finally seeing her relatives.
A'er followed and also bowed to Qiao Zhongguo.
Qiao Zhongguo immediately asked everyone to dismount and rest. They were just about to prepare dinner, so they just ate together.
Meng Guxue had been traveling all the way and was a little tired. She was not one to be picky, so she just sat on the ground with Qiao Zhongguo.
Qiao Jiaojiao took out the fine pastries that Qiao Zhongguo had specially prepared for her on the road.
"Sister Meng, do you want to eat?"
Meng Guxue didn't expect that Qiao Zhongguo even brought Qiao Jiaojiao with him, and she could not hide her shock.
Qiao Jiaojiao sat down next to Meng Guxue and looked at her with curiosity.
Meng Guxue was really different from what she remembered!
"Thank you, Miss Qiao."
Meng Guxue was indeed a little hungry. She smiled, said thank you, and took the pastries from Qiao Jiaojiao.
At this time, as Meng Guxue approached, Qiao Jiaojiao suddenly smelled a strange smell from her.
[Hey, there seems to be some smell on Meng Guxue? ]
Qiao Jiaojiao sniffed sharply and suddenly felt dizzy.
[Oh my god, it stinks! Could Meng Guxue be poisoned? ]
Qiao Zhongguo and Qiao Tianjing's expressions changed at the same time when they heard this.
They knew that Jiaojiao could smell poison. It was Jiaojiao who smelled the cold poison given to Yaxian at the Wanshou Palace Banquet!
Could it be that Meng Guxue was also poisoned?
Thank God, this time when coming to Nanli Kingdom, the emperor was worried that Jiaojiao would not be able to adapt due to her young age, so he specially asked Zou Qi, who has the best medical skills, to come along.
It seems that I have to find a reason to let Zou Qi come and see Meng Guxue!
Qiao Tianjing was just thinking of a suitable reason when Meng Guxue asked:
"Master Qiao, do you have an imperial physician with you this time?"
"It's like this. The wife of the king is still in a coma, and Baili Chengyou is already very worried. I thought that since the palace doctors of Nanli Kingdom can't cure her, maybe we can try the imperial doctors of our Yong Dynasty!"
Qiao Jiaojiao's eyes immediately lit up when she heard that.
[Oh my god, this is really like sending a pillow just when you are sleepy. I was just thinking about how to let Doctor Zou check Meng Guxue without being too abrupt! ]
Thinking of this, Qiao Jiaojiao quickly gave Qiao Tianjing a wink.
Qiao Tianjing understood what he meant and stood up holding Qiao Jiaojiao.
Qiao Jiaojiao took the opportunity to say, "Brother, I seem to smell something wrong with Meng Guxue. Let's get Doctor Zou to come and check Meng Guxue's pulse!"
Qiao Tianjing pretended to be shocked when he heard this and nodded immediately, "Okay, I'll listen to you, little sister."
When Doctor Zou was called over, there was still resentment on his face.
Doctor Zou: (* ̄ ̄)
He had just opened his mouth and hadn't had time to take a bite of food when he was called over!
Could it be that he was destined to be a slave for the Qiao family in this life?
When Qiao Zhongguo saw Doctor Zou, he immediately stepped forward and put his arm around his shoulders affectionately, saying with a smile:
"Miss Meng, what a coincidence! The most skilled imperial physician in our Great Yong Dynasty is right here!"
Qiao Zhongguo was a flatterer and he praised Doctor Zou's medical skills to the highest heaven. Doctor Zou felt instantly refreshed upon hearing that.
Doctor Zou: (??
ε
??)
"Well...it's not as exaggerated as what Mr. Qiao said~"
Meng Guxue's eyes lit up when she heard this. At this time, Qiao Tianjing said:
"Doctor Zou, Miss Meng has come all the way here, please help her first."
Meng Guxue looked puzzled, "Ah? I don't need it, I'm just a little tired, I'm fine."
"It's also good to check Ping An's pulse." Qiao Tianjing said with a smile.
Meng Guxue thought about it and did not refuse. She directly extended her hand to Doctor Zou, "Okay!"
It’s time for a regular checkup!
Doctor Zou was a shrewd man. He immediately realized that there was probably something fishy going on with Meng Guxue, so he became a little more serious and put his hand on Meng Guxue's wrist.
Meng Guxue was originally quite relaxed, but when she saw Doctor Zou's increasingly serious expression, her heart skipped a beat and she became a little frightened.
"Zou... Doctor Zou, what's wrong? Am I going to die soon?"
When Doctor Zou withdrew his hand, he frowned and stroked his beard.
"Miss Meng's pulse is a little strange. Have you taken any medicine to boost your spirits recently?"
"Ah? Is there really a problem?"
Meng Guxue was frightened to death. She felt her whole body but felt nothing unusual.
"No, I never take medicine for no reason!"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Tianjing guessed that Meng Guxue might have been tricked unconsciously.
"Miss Meng, Doctor Zou's medical skills are not wrong. Think about it, is there anything unusual around you recently?"
After Qiao Tianjing said this, Meng Guxue instantly remembered the meeting with the fourth princess before setting off.
If there is a chance of getting infected recently, it would be that day!
But she was obviously very careful——
Meng Guxue frowned and recounted what happened that day in detail.
Qiao Tianjing and Qiao Jiaojiao listened thoughtfully. The brother and sister looked at each other, and Qiao Tianjing slowly nodded.
He said, "Miss Meng, is there a possibility that the Fourth Princess had already guessed that you were on guard, so she did the opposite?"
Meng Guxue opened her mouth slightly, and Qiao Tianjing said meaningfully:
"You two were in the same pavilion that day. The only difference was that she took a bite of the cake."
"I dare to guess that the antidote might be in that cake. You were on guard and refused to eat it, so you fell into the trap instead."
When Meng Guxue heard this, her heart instantly turned cold!
"It's over. Am I going to die?"
Doctor Zou immediately shook his head. "From the pulse, it doesn't look like a poison that harms the body. It must have other uses."
Meng Guxue was immediately shocked when he heard this.
"In Nanli Country, it's either medicine or poison! Have I been poisoned? It's over! Am I going to become a puppet too?"
"Are! Are! I remember you knew how to remove the poison. Come and help me!"
"That damned Baili Miaoxue!!!"
