She stared at the empty corner. She couldn't yet fully control the appearance and disappearance of the medicine box. [Take it slow. One day, I'll completely master the secrets of the medicine box.]
Yun Duoduo stared intently at the corner of the wall.
If it really is related to the number of people she treats and helps, then she needs to help even more people.
Yun Duoduo calmed herself down and prepared to administer the medicine to Jin Jinzhi and Xue Deyi.
Clutching the medicine tightly in her hand, she tiptoed out of the bedchamber and headed towards the side hall.
The courtyard was very quiet. Yun Duoduo walked quietly along the corner of the wall, her body pressed against the wall. She didn't want to be discovered by Xiao Jinyu, who was on guard on the roof.
She felt that Xiao Jinyu at night was like a sharp-eyed owl, able to accurately capture changes and potential dangers in the darkness.
However, Yun Duoduo also possessed some martial arts skills.
Firstly, she was very small, and the black nightgown she was wearing today blended seamlessly with the moonlight.
Secondly, she practices martial arts and internal strength diligently every day, so it's not difficult for her to slightly conceal her breathing.
She wasn't wearing shoes; her chubby, soft little feet touched the slightly cool ground, making her mind exceptionally clear.
She was very careful not to touch the surrounding flowers, plants, and trees, so as not to attract Xiao Jinyu's attention by swaying the grass and trees. She was also very careful to watch her step, so as not to step on any mindless insects that only knew how to crawl around.
She slowly walked to the entrance of the side hall and quietly slipped through the crack in the door.
There are two beds in the side hall. Jin Jinzhi is lying on the side closer to the door, and Xue Deyi is lying on the side closer to the window.
She looked at Jin Jinzhi's body; the swelling hadn't subsided yet.
[It seems the blood is extremely toxic, causing subcutaneous bleeding throughout the body.]
If it's a neurotoxin, the swelling will usually subside faster, generally within ten days.
If it's blood poisoning, it will cause subcutaneous bleeding throughout the body, and the swelling may not subside for up to two weeks.
Oh, poor Sumire-nii.
What kind of suffering have they endured?!
Yun Duoduo took out a cotton swab soaked in alcohol and gently wiped Jin Jinzhi's leg.
She then prepared the syringe, which had already absorbed the medicine. Her hand was steady as she inserted the needle into Jin Jinzhi's vein. Only when she watched the liquid on the needle slowly flow into Jin Jinzhi's body did she feel relieved.
...
The next morning, inside the Yiqin Palace of the Northern Liang royal family, Miao Nanyan had just opened her eyes when she saw a cute little face and a pair of big, bright, dark eyes.
"Mother, are you still in pain?" Baili Mingwen secretly slipped into Miao Nanyan's bedroom and saw Miao Nanyan lying on the bed, her face pale, completely different from the fairy he had seen before.
"It's all Father's fault, causing Mother to become like this." Baili Mingwen felt a pang of sadness, and he pouted, his expression full of dissatisfaction.
"Mother, are you hungry? Mingwen, go get some snacks for Mother."
Seeing that Miao Nanyan didn't speak, Baili Mingwen assumed that she hadn't eaten and was too weak.
Before Miao Nanyan could speak, she dashed off on her short legs.
Miao Nanyan smiled as she looked at the entrance to the sleeping quarters, a warm feeling welling up in her heart.
[This child is pitiful. It's probably because she looks like Ah Chen's older sister that she keeps mistaking her for her mother.]
But should I tell her that I'm not her mother?
But isn't that a bit too cruel?
A moment later, Baili Mingwen brought a plate of osmanthus chestnut cake and a plate of bamboo-shaped steamed buns to Miao Nanyan's bedside.
"Mother, eat it while it's hot." Mingwen looked at Miao Nanyan with his big eyes full of worry.
"Okay, thank you, Mingwen." Miao Nanyan was so hungry that she didn't feel anything, and the pain in her buttocks made her ignore the discomfort in her stomach.
She had been staring blankly at the eaves, but after seeing Baili Mingwen, her heart seemed to suddenly light up.
"Is it tasty?"
Baili Mingwen watched as Miao Nanyan picked up a piece of yellow osmanthus chestnut cake, put it in her mouth, and chewed it, then asked eagerly.
He was so worried about his mother. It was all the fault of the gatekeeper who wouldn't let him out. He only managed to sneak out when they changed shifts.
Father, how could you order Mother to be beaten?
When he grows up and is capable, he must protect his mother well, and no one can hurt her!
"What are you thinking about?" Miao Nanyan tapped Baili Mingwen's round little head.
"Mother, does it still hurt?" Baili Mingwen looked at her blood-stained clothes with concern.
"It doesn't hurt anymore."
"Your Highness, we have made your favorite cold rice cake." Yun Jin walked in quickly and saw that Baili Mingwen was also there. She quickly bowed and said, "This servant greets Your Highness."
Seeing that Miao Nanyan was already eating, Yun Jin placed the stack of cold rice cakes on the table.
"Your Majesty, yesterday this really frightened me." Xiangling also came over, carrying a basin of hot water and a towel.
Xiangling, who had fainted, woke up last night.
"That's right, Your Highness. But, I've never seen that dagger before." Yun Jin looked puzzled. They had been serving their mistress all along, but they had never noticed when or who gave their mistress such a dagger, causing such a commotion and such a big incident.
Xiangling nudged Yunjin, signaling her to stop talking, as the young prince was still there.
If they say something they shouldn't, and it reaches the king's ears, they won't live well, and they might not even have a complete corpse.
"Do you still remember the day we left the Nanyang Imperial Palace?" Miao Nanyan said softly.
Yun Jin and Xiang Ling nodded.
"This was given to me by Ah Xiang, the head maid of Fu Shuang Palace, before I left. She said it could be used for self-defense if I encountered thieves on the road."
Why is there a character for "cloud" on that dagger?
“Ah Xiang is the little princess’s personal maid. This dagger may be something from the royal family.”
"Does Your Highness mean that this dagger was a gift from the little princess?"
"I guess so."
"No wonder the little princess is named Yun Duoduo, so naturally the dagger would have the character 'Yun' engraved on it!"
"But Your Highness, why is this dagger placed under your pillow?"
Yun Jin continued to ask, explaining that when they made the bed, they didn't move the pillows much, so they naturally didn't notice the dagger.
Miao Nanyan smiled bitterly. This dagger was originally meant for her; if one day she really couldn't bear it anymore, she could leave this world.
She had always lived for her clan and Hongxiu, and she hoped that one day she could take control of her own life.
"Oh dear, Yun Jin, why are you talking so much today? Quickly help Her Majesty wash her face."
Baili Mingwen blinked, listening to their conversation with a mixture of understanding and confusion.
