Shi had no time to apologize outwardly, but inwardly she was calculating whether the Prince of Yan would accept the medicine.
After learning about the relationship between the Prince of Yan's heir and Xie Tingzhou, her adoptive father asked her to inquire about the Prince of Yan's heir.
She was well aware that the Princess Consort of Yan was ill, and that her condition had worsened significantly in the past two years, leaving the doctors in Yan helpless.
She had just taken advantage of the moment while assisting Princess Yan to examine her pulse, and the medicine she had was able to effectively control Princess Yan's condition.
Today's event served two purposes: first, to test the strength and character of the Prince of Yan's heir; and second, to deliver medicine to the Princess of Yan.
Princess Yan raised him as a precious treasure. If he knows how to be grateful, he should value Princess Yan's life.
On the contrary, she needs to think carefully about how to deal with this kid so that he won't cause trouble for her sister and brother-in-law.
However, judging from the situation just now, the guards of the Prince of Yan's mansion are quite ordinary, and there is no one hiding in the shadows. They are probably as dutiful as she found out.
The Prince of Yan looked anxious, staring at Shi Wuxia for a moment before taking the medicine and handing it to the doctor, saying, "Take a look and see if it will be effective for my mother."
The doctor took the medicine, scraped off a little with a knife, smelled it, opened his eyes slightly, then licked it and smiled, "It should be effective."
Princess Yan's face had turned from white to ashen; her condition was critical if she wasn't treated soon. The Crown Prince of Yan gritted his teeth and said, "Give it to me."
He took the medicine from the doctor and fed it to the Princess of Yan, along with some water.
After a short while, the Princess Consort of Yan let out a long breath, the suffocating feeling finally dissipated, and her complexion gradually improved.
The doctor was so surprised that he rushed forward to take her pulse, and then looked shocked, "This medicine is so miraculous."
In my excitement, I almost asked how the medicine was prepared, but thankfully I regained my senses quickly.
But in his decades of medical practice, he had never heard of any heart-saving pills.
Shi Wuxia naturally knew that her medicine was effective. She helped the Princess of Yan back to the carriage, saying, "My daughter was impetuous just now. Please forgive her, Madam."
My wife's illness is a long-standing condition that is difficult to cure completely. My daughter's medicine can only stabilize her condition for half a month. To express my apologies, my daughter is willing to provide my wife with a year's worth of medicine.
My brother-in-law wrote a letter saying that the Princess of Yan is a good person, and that's what she found out. She also heard that my brother-in-law had been taken care of by the Princess of Yan when he was young, so she sent him a year's worth of medicine in this way.
Otherwise, even without today's shock, Princess Yan wouldn't have lived more than two months.
The medicine for this year is equivalent to a year's lifespan. As for the future, if the Prince of Yan's heir has filial piety and wants to buy medicine from her, she will naturally be willing to do this business, and can also control him to some extent.
However, the prerequisite is that he has to be a good person.
Thinking of this, Shi Wuxiao glanced at the Crown Prince of Yan.
This man bears a striking resemblance to his brother-in-law, Xie Tingzhou. To be precise, he is three parts descended from the Empress and seven parts from the Emperor.
My brother-in-law is more like the empress, but fortunately, his character is nothing like the empress's. I wonder what the person in front of me is like.
"Thank you so much for saving my life, young lady. May I ask your name?"
Princess Yan was delighted. "What truly startled me was the fleeing thief, not you, young lady. I dare not accept your medicine for nothing, Qian'er."
Xie Qian is the name of the heir apparent of the Prince of Yan.
Princess Yan reminded her son to give Shi Wuxia money.
She knows her own body best and is aware of the benefits of this medicine. In the past two years, she has never breathed as easily as she does today.
Princess Yan's gratitude towards Shi Wuxia had surpassed her earlier displeasure at being startled.
Xie Qian was pleased to see that the Princess Consort of Yan was doing well, and he was also very grateful to Shi Wuxia. He immediately introduced himself, "I am Xie Qian from the Prince of Yan's residence. Thank you for the medicine, young lady."
"What Mother Consort said is true. The Prince of Yan's residence dares not accept the young lady's medicine for nothing. Please inform us of the price and where to obtain the medicine."
He is upright and honest, and his identity is perfectly legitimate.
Because of her status as a princess of the Great Wei, Shi Wuxia is now a celebrity in the capital of Dayuan. Xie Qian could easily find her information, so she had no need to hide it and directly revealed her identity.
“I am now living in the charity hall. You can get your medicine there. However, I promise to give you a year's worth of medicine. It is a gift. You can buy more later.”
Seeing that she insisted, the Princess Consort and her son thanked her again, but did not mention giving her any more money.
Now that they had crossed paths, Shi Wuxia wanted to check if there were any other guards following the group, so he pretended to continue chasing the thieves, mounted his horse, and rode away.
Xie Qian watched her departing figure with deep, unfathomable eyes.
Princess Yan looked in the direction he was looking and smiled, "She's a spirited girl, very likable."
My son is a man of few words, seemingly a gentleman, but in reality he's a quiet type, so he needs an outgoing and lively wife.
Xie Qian understood the meaning behind his mother's words and smiled helplessly, "Mother, I am only twenty-one."
After the Princess Consort of Yan fell ill, she wanted to see her son get married as soon as possible, so she urged him to get married intensely in the past two years. However, she was an open-minded mother, and although she was anxious, she never casually put women in her son's arms.
She only hoped that her son would meet someone he liked soon. She had just seen her son staring at a girl and mistakenly thought that her son had feelings for the girl, which is why she said those words.
The thought that he had only met the girl once and was already thinking about her for life, without even knowing if she was married, made him quite anxious.
She shook her head and smiled, but still said, "Qian'er, you are young, but your mother is old."
She felt that everything in her life was worthwhile, her only regret was that her son was still single. She was afraid that when she died, her son would still be without a loving partner.
Xie Qian simply got into the carriage of the Princess of Yan. "Mother will live to be a hundred years old. Miss Xie is the daughter of the Regent of Great Wei. The medical skills of Great Wei are much more advanced than here. Mother, take your medicine well and you will definitely be fine. I will also make sure nothing happens to you."
