Xing'er never imagined that her favorite Princess Nanzhu would do such a thing.
What she couldn't understand even more was who this person was and how they managed to sneak in.
But now is not the time to think about these things. She must make a decision immediately: whether to report it or to cover it up for Princess Nanzhu.
Almost without hesitation, Xing'er chose to keep it a secret for Princess Nanzhu.
She watched Namjoo grow up and knew Namjoo's character very well.
A child like her would never do anything immoral or unethical; if she did, then it must be God's fault.
For example, right now.
Despite being a princess of noble status, she lived in the almost deserted Linxuan Palace for a long time, yet no one ever paid attention to her or cared about her.
Xing'er didn't want to complain.
With both her biological parents gone, it's not surprising that Nan Zhu ended up like this in the palace.
Since nobody cares, then nobody will ever care.
Live your own life.
She quickly recovered from her shock and hastily changed the subject, asking Meng Qingrou, "Has the Princess eaten yet?"
She regretted it as soon as she said it, even though she had just eaten half an hour ago.
Meng Qingrou was very nervous at this moment and did not realize that there was anything wrong with what Xing'er said.
"Ah, I, I've already eaten."
He Yunxiao quickly transmitted his voice, "Silly girl! You haven't eaten yet. I haven't eaten either. Let her go cook, that'll keep her away."
Meng Qingrou quickly changed her tune, saying, "No, I haven't eaten. Xing'er, go cook."
"Okay, okay," Xing'er quickly agreed.
He Yunxiao remembered that he had bought two fish, and then sent a telepathic message: "I bought fish, have her make fish porridge."
Meng Qingrou said, "I bought fish, oh no, I mean, I caught fish in the lake. Xing'er, why don't you make fish porridge?"
Xing'er: "Oh, okay, okay."
She immediately took the fish and retreated, even glancing deeply at the few leftover packets of pastries on the table.
He Yunxiao only came out after Xing'er had left.
It's true what they say, "Birds of a feather flock together." It turns out that not only is Nanzhu's wife foolish, but her maid is foolish too.
It's quite absurd that Nanzhu's wife managed to fool them all.
He Yunxiao suppressed the urge to complain and said to Meng Qingrou, "Miss Nanzhu, when are we going to get rid of the poison?"
Meng Qingrou said, "Young Master Xiao, have you not eaten? The antidote for the Soul-Devouring Pill cannot be taken on an empty stomach."
He Yunxiao: ?
Holy crap?
The things I made up to deceive Chu Chu back then actually turned out to be true?
You really shouldn't take it on an empty stomach.
Meng Qingrou walked ahead, holding He Yunxiao's hand, and said, "Let's boil the medicine first, and then see if Xing'er's fish porridge is ready."
He Yunxiao nodded.
It seems that as long as we go to the medical field, which is my wife's area of expertise, her IQ will return.
So, Meng Qingrou pulled He Yunxiao along as they walked through Linxuan Palace.
After passing several empty areas, the aroma of herbs gradually became stronger.
Inside Linxuan Palace, there is a room specifically used for storing medicinal herbs. Huge cabinets are filled with small drawers for storing herbs. Scattered medicine boxes and shelves are everywhere. These herbs are arranged very neatly, and in terms of the sheer variety, it even surpasses that of ordinary pharmacies.
"You did all of this?"
He Yunxiao was somewhat shocked.
Meng Qingrou said somewhat embarrassedly, "Most of it was made by my mother; I just casually did the work with the South Pearl."
He Yunxiao laughed and said, "If you just did it casually, I wouldn't feel comfortable letting you treat me."
Seeing that He Yunxiao was about to give up again, Meng Qingrou hurriedly said, "No, no, Nanzhu is working very hard on it."
He Yunxiao patted her head and said, "Don't worry, even if you kill me, I won't blame you."
Meng Qingrou said with dissatisfaction, "Young Master Xiao, you mustn't look down on my medical skills like that. Physician Wei said that Nan Zhu is very skilled."
He Yunxiao said indulgently, "Okay. Our Nanzhu is the best."
Meng Qingrou blushed and said, "It's not yours yet."
The two walked over to a pot of medicine being brewed, saying things that made them blush.
Meng Qingrou pulled He Yunxiao down to squat, took the ground leaves she had prepared beforehand, and poured them into the medicine pot. Then, she added water, lit a fire, and started it burning.
Seeing her like this, He Yunxiao said, "So Miss Nanzhu knew I was coming all along. She even prepared the medicinal herbs."
Meng Qingrou retorted, "No. We just took out what we had left over from before."
He Yunxiao: "I'm not eating anymore, I'm leaving."
"No, no. Nanzhu made it this afternoon."
Seeing Nan Zhu's adorable appearance, He Yunxiao couldn't resist any longer. With a gentle pull, he drew Meng Qingrou into his arms.
He Yunxiao held Nanzhu's hand with his right hand and wrapped his left arm around her slender waist, pulling her into his embrace. Then, he lowered his head and buried his face in the hair behind her ear.
Nanzhu's scent, like her personality, is a gentle and mild medicinal fragrance. At first, it doesn't seem like much, but the more you smell it, the more intoxicating it becomes.
"Namjoo, I like you."
Meng Qingrou's favorability rating increased from 88 to 92.
Meng Qingrou's face was flushed with intoxication. She squirmed in He Yunxiao's arms, her right hand, which wasn't being held by He Yunxiao, gently pushing him away.
But it didn't work.
His breath brushed against my ears and neck, tickling me and soothing my heart.
After pushing twice, she felt powerless.
Like peonies on a rainy day, soft and delicate.
