At this moment, Doctor Xue walked to Zhao Xian's side and said:
"The Guizhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction) has such a miraculous effect on the princess's illness, which may be related to the way the Shaoqing (Minister) prepared the medicine. Perhaps it would not have such a therapeutic effect on another person."
“I understand what Doctor Xue means. I will be in charge of preparing medicine for the princess for the next few days until she recovers,” Zhao Xian said.
At this moment, Li Guang walked up to Zhao Xian and said:
“Brother Zhao, you haven’t slept for two days and two nights. I’ll take care of things here with the princess. You should go back and get some sleep.”
"Yes, Lord Shaoqing, please go back and rest. We all slept for a while last night," the others chimed in.
Zhao Xian looked at everyone and realized that this was indeed the case; he did need to rest. He then said:
“Alright, I’ll go back and rest first. When the princess wakes up, I can feed her some porridge. I’ll bring some cinnamon twig soup with me this afternoon for the princess to take.”
After Zhao Xian finished speaking, he left the inn, intending to go back and get a good night's sleep.
I'm really exhausted. If this continues, I might have to go through another time travel.
Zhao Xian went home, didn't even eat, and went straight to bed.
Since Li Xue was out of danger, Zhao Xian slept very soundly. When he woke up, it was already afternoon.
Zhao Xian prescribed medicine for Li Xue to take three times a day. Now we need to hurry up and prepare the medicine for Li Xue, and we will prepare it again tonight.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xian quickly had someone brew medicine and took the opportunity to eat something, since he had been hungry for several meals.
As long as Guizhi Tang is boiled, it's fine. Zhao Xian doesn't care whether it's effective or not. The key is the special medicine added to the soup. In ancient times, this kind of medicine was considered a miracle drug.
Zhao Xian carried the medicine pot to Li Xue's residence, where the guards were feeding Li Xue a bowl of porridge.
Doctor Xue was hunched over the table next to him, writing something down. When he saw Zhao Xian arrive, he put down his calligraphy brush.
"Lord Shaoqing has arrived. The cinnamon twig soup you brewed is truly miraculous. After taking it, the princess's symptoms have been greatly relieved. It won't be long before the princess recovers her health."
"Dr. Xue, you've worked hard. You should also take a rest. I've brewed another pot of cinnamon twig soup for the princess," Zhao Xian said.
"Then quickly administer the medicine to the princess." Doctor Xue was already very hopeful; at this rate, the princess should recover in two or three days.
A guard came over, took the medicine pot from Zhao Xian's hand, poured the medicine into a bowl, and handed the bowl to Zhao Xian.
Zhao Xian smiled, took the medicine bowl, walked to Li Xue's bedside, and began to feed Li Xue the medicine.
Li Xue leaned against the bed, sipping the herbal soup that Zhao Xian handed her, her face flushed.
At this moment, Li Xue spoke, her voice very soft.
“I have an older brother named Li Ru, who is ten years older than me. He doted on me when I was little. I was often sick and didn’t like drinking bitter medicine. Every time, my brother would coax me and feed me the medicine.”
Zhao Xian nodded. He hadn't expected that Li Xue had an older brother, but Li Xue had never mentioned it, nor had Li Guang.
"Princess, you have an older brother. How come I've never heard you mention him?"
Li Xue hesitated for a long time before speaking:
"My brother, like our father, is of a fierce temperament and is also a valiant general."
Ten years ago, there was a small country in the southwestern border region that frequently raided the territory of the Great Northern Dynasty, causing great suffering to the people in the southwestern region of the Great Northern Dynasty.
The father then led the army to war, and the elder brother also went with the army. The army quickly annihilated the invading enemy. Just as the father was returning to the capital, the elder brother disappeared. The father searched all the mountains and rivers of the southwestern frontier, but could not find the elder brother.
I never saw my brother again after that. Although my father often sent people to search for him, they never found him. I guess he's long gone.
After Li Xue finished speaking, she began to shed tears. The entire room was very quiet, with only Li Xue's soft sobs being heard.
“Last night, I was in great pain. In a daze, I dreamed of my brother. I found him lying in a valley, covered in blood. He called my name and asked me to come and save him.”
I was startled awake, feeling a sharp pain in my chest. I had always hoped that my brother would come back one day, but it seems he will never return; he is already dead.
I suddenly fell ill and I don't think I'll survive. My brother is calling me from another world, and I should be able to see him soon.
Seeing my brother is certainly a good thing, but I don't want to die yet. My parents are getting old and they need me to take care of them.
Li Guang still has much to do; his great cause is not yet complete. I want to see him lead the people of the Great Northern Dynasty to a better life.
At this moment, Li Guang stepped forward and said:
"Sister, you'll be alright. Brother Li Ru must still be alive. Next time I meet Dao Ye, I'll ask him to give us some pointers. I'm determined to find Brother Li Meng."
“Yes, Princess, rest assured, we will do our best to help you find your brother,” Zhao Xian said.
Li Xue finished the last sip of her herbal medicine, nodded, and gave a sweet smile.
“I feel much better now. My chest doesn’t hurt as much anymore. I survived this ordeal entirely thanks to the auspicious location of Narcissus Village. From now on, I will not leave Narcissus Village easily.”
After Li Xue finished speaking, she looked at Zhao Xian, seemingly seeking his opinion.
"Princess, this is your home. You can stay as long as you want. Now every villager in the village knows you, and they already consider you a member of Narcissus Village."
"Brother Zhao, I want to buy a plot of land in the village and build a house so I can live there. Although I can stay in an inn, which is also quite nice, it doesn't feel like home."
After the house is built, I'll buy a storefront and start a small business so I won't starve to death.
Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter, finding the princess's idea quite amusing.
Seeing that Li Xue was in good spirits, Zhao Xian was very pleased and said:
"Currently, Shuixian Village is building a canal leading to Yingkou Town. Once the canal is open to traffic, Shuixian Village will carry out the third phase of the construction of a farmers' market."
The third phase of the project will be built along the canal, and once completed, the area of Narcissus Village will double.
This phase of the project will not only build a large number of shops, restaurants and inns, but also a large residential area, so that people from other places can come and buy houses, live in Shuixian Village, and become a member of Shuixian Village.
The princess could consider buying a house, so she wouldn't have to buy a plot of land and go through the hardship of building a house herself.
"No, I must buy a plot of land near Brother Zhao's house and build a house there, so that when we don't have food, we can go to Brother Zhao's house for a free meal," Li Xue said with a smile.
Everyone burst into laughter again; Li Xue's condition had improved, and everyone was very happy.
Two or three days later, under everyone's careful care, Li Xue recovered quickly.
Seeing this, Doctor Xue prepared to go back. Before leaving, he told Li Xue to be careful to keep warm and not to catch a cold.
After Doctor Xue left, Zhao Xian asked Shen Jianfeng to make a large cotton-padded coat. Li Xue put it on and felt that the coat was incredibly warm.
