Helian Xiao took one more look at Gao Zhenzhen's face, then took out a jade bottle from his arms and gave it to Gao Zhenzhen: "Since you call me uncle, I can't be stingy. This is for you."
Gao Zhenzhen looked at the elixir in the jade bottle with an innocent look: "Uncle Helian, what is this?"
"Guyuan Dan, which strengthens the body's foundation and strengthens the vital energy, is most beneficial for those who have been ill for a long time."
"Thank you, Uncle Helian." Gao Zhenzhen was very happy and pulled Nangong Yu. "Your Highness, is Uncle Helian the exceptionally powerful alchemy master you mentioned to me?"
Nangong Yu said lovingly, "Yes."
Gao Zhenzhen was very happy: "Zhenzhen has admired Uncle Helian for a long time, and now I am so happy to meet him in person."
Gao Zhenzhen was of course happy. In her previous life, Nangong Yu also invited Helian Xiao to the palace to treat her. At that time, her heart disease had been much relieved because she was nourished by Ling Xiang's blood. Not long after Helian Xiao treated her, he offered to take her in as his disciple.
Being the disciple of the Spiritual Master! What a glorious thing that would be! No one would ever say she was unworthy of the prince again!
It’s a pity that in her previous life, she was reborn before she could become a disciple.
She still doesn't understand why she was inexplicably reborn.
But it didn't matter. In this life, Helian Xiao had appeared. Her master had appeared! She would soon become someone others could only look up to!
"Miss Gao, please give me your hand."
Helian Xiao carefully diagnosed Gao Zhenzhen, his expression did not change, he just asked Gao Zhenzhen to change her hand.
Helian Xiao retracted his hand: "Miss Gao has been suffering from heart disease for a long time. She cannot take strong medicine. If she wants to cure it, she needs to recuperate slowly first."
The conclusion Helian Xiao came to was different from his previous life, but since she had not been nourished by Ling Xiang's blood in this life, it was not surprising that Helian Xiao came to this conclusion. Gao Zhenzhen said in surprise:
"Uncle Helian means that my heart disease can be cured?"
Helian Xiao nodded: "Yes."
Gao Zhenzhen was overjoyed and grabbed Nangong Yu's hand, very excited: "Your Highness, did you hear that? My heart disease can be cured!"
Nangong Yu was also very happy: "Thank you for troubling Uncle Helian."
Helian Xiao waved his hand: "Marriage is a major event in life, of course, there should be no regrets. If you set your wedding date later, by next year, I guarantee that by the time you get married, Miss Gao will be full of energy."
Gao Zhenzhen lowered her eyes shyly: "Your Highness..."
She knew that Helian Xiao liked pure and kind people, so even if she had to pretend, she had to pretend to be pure and kind in front of Helian Xiao.
Nangong Yu smiled and said, "Then let's listen to Uncle Helian and set the wedding date for next year."
Gao Zhenzhen nodded: "Yes, I will listen to the prince."
Helian Xiao prescribed a prescription for Gao Zhenzhen and personally made the elixir for her. After giving her some instructions, he left Gao Zhenzhen's yard with Nangong Yu.
Just now, when he heard Helian Xiao say, "Miss Gao has been suffering from heart disease for a long time," Nangong Yu's mind was completely on this. After coming out, he immediately asked, "Zhenzhen's heart disease, how long has it been?"
Helian Xiao was slightly surprised: "Your fiancée, when did she become ill? Don't you know?"
"Zhenzhen is kind and weak. She wouldn't even step on an ant to death. I was worried that she didn't tell the truth, just to reassure others." In order not to arouse Helian Xiao's suspicion, Nangong Yu lied.
Helian Xiao was very impressed by Gao Zhenzhen's kindness and said truthfully:
"Miss Gao has had heart disease for several years. It wasn't serious at first and didn't affect her normal life much. However, her heart disease has become more severe, probably in the past year. I think it must have been caused by some major damage to her body."
Nangong Yu suddenly realized that Zhenzhen had not lied to him. It was really because of saving him that Zhenzhen's heart disease became more severe and had frequent attacks.
Nangong Yu felt relieved, but when he thought about how Gao Zhenzhen became like this because of him and he still doubted her, he began to blame himself.
He bowed deeply to Helian Xiao and said, "Uncle Helian, Zhenzhen's heart disease has worsened because of me. Please take care of her health."
"Don't worry, I promise to give you a lively bride." Helian Xiao still looked untainted by the mundane world. "Take me to see the person who gave you the Heart Protection Pill."
Nangong Yu looked at the sky and said, "Uncle Helian, it's getting late today. Why don't we go tomorrow?"
Helian Xiao waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, today is worse than tomorrow, let's do it today."
Nangong Yu certainly wouldn't let Helian Xiao, a dignified alchemy master, go to the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion to meet someone else. "Then I'll send someone to bring her to see you."
Helian Xiao didn't care about these empty words: "Let's go find her, it will be faster."
Before they left, the eldest princess learned that Nangong Yu had invited Helian Xiao, so she dressed up and came out to greet him in person. She happened to meet the two of them just as they were about to go out.
Nangong Yu was not surprised at all when he saw the eldest princess appear: "My son greets mother."
"Yu'er, your uncle Helian is here, why didn't you tell me?" The eldest princess glared at her son and bowed to Helian Xiao with a smile.
"Brother Helian, how are you?"
Helian Xiao has been out of touch with worldly affairs for many years, and only his old friends can awaken his earthly heart.
But these old friends did not include the eldest princess.
On the contrary, if possible, he would rather never see the eldest princess again.
Helian Xiao nodded politely: "I came here at Yu'er's invitation to treat someone. Princess, you don't have to be polite."
Treatment? For whom? Gao Zhenzhen?
The princess was furious, but she couldn't lose her temper in front of Helian Xiao, so she maintained her graceful and noble demeanor:
"It's been many years since I last saw Big Brother Helian. I'm hosting a party tonight to welcome Big Brother Helian. I hope Big Brother Helian won't mind."
Helian Xiao declined politely, "I have something else to do, and I'm afraid I won't be able to make it back tonight. Princess, there's no need to worry."
The eldest princess refused to give up: "Then tomorrow at noon?"
So many years have passed, and the princess has become the eldest princess. Her temperament has not changed at all, and she is still so strong and overbearing. Helian Xiao did not want to argue any further, so for the sake of his old friend, he nodded and said, "Okay."
The eldest princess was very happy and warned Nangong Yu: "Yu'er, don't neglect your uncle Helian."
The two of them took a carriage to the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion. On the way, Nangong Yu briefly described Ling Xiang's situation:
"Her name is Ling Xiang, the only daughter of the former Marquis of Zhenguo, Ling Chengtian. If she knew you were invited by me, she wouldn't be willing to accept treatment. So, I'll have to trouble Uncle Helian to treat Miss Ling alone. Don't mention me."
Helian Xiao glanced at Nangong Yu, and without saying anything, he agreed immediately: "Okay."
When the carriage was about to arrive at the Marquis Zhenguo's Mansion, Nangong Yu got off the carriage, got on the carriage behind, and told the coachman to go back.
Helian Xiao took out a token and handed it to the steward of the Prince of Qin's Mansion who was acting as the coachman outside, and gave him a few instructions.
The butler, wearing a mask and holding a token, walked to the door and said politely, "I am here to visit Miss Ling from the Dan Palace."
