Su Xiaoxiao said in a low voice, “Yes. The Western Jin is powerful. I’m just the daughter of a small family of generals in the Great Zhou. I can’t afford to offend the emperor of the Western Jin. I don’t want to offend Your Highness, but I think with Your Highness’s personality, even if you know, you shouldn’t make things difficult for me.”

Yuwen Xi said sternly, “Stop flattering me! I’ll know if Father asked you to treat Zhuge Qing! It’s fine if you’re not lying, but if you’re lying…

Su Xiaoxiao met her gaze frankly. ‘Your Highness, just investigate.”

Other than the fact that her rejection was fake, there was evidence for the rest. It did not matter if she showed any rejection. At least, the Western Jin Emperor thought that she would refuse.

Yuwen Xi pushed the box in front of her. “Take the herb and see if it’s right. Also, be careful. Feng Xiaoran gave me the herbs too smoothly. I’m worried that he did something to the herbs.”

Yuwen Xi did not want anything to happen to her now. Putting aside her personal feelings, Yuwen Xi still hoped that she would treat her son.

Su Xiaoxiao took the brocade box. “Thank you, Your Highness. I’ll take my leave first.”

After leaving Yuwen Xi’s courtyard, she found an empty place and opened the brocade box. There was nothing unusual about the herbs, nor was there anything wrong with the smell.

She closed her eyes.

This time, she successfully entered the pharmacy. She opened the box again and took a look. “It’s indeed poisonous.”

She left the pharmacy, picked up the herb that had been thrown out of the pharmacy, and put it back into the brocade box.

Fortunately, she was prepared.

“Aiya! Crow!”

The young Princess’s scream came from the garden not far away.

Su Xiaoxiao quickly closed the brocade box and walked over.

It turned out that Wuhu had returned.

It held half a medicinal herb that was almost longer than it and flew all the way. Its small wings were almost smoking.

When it arrived at the Princess’s Residence, it finally could not fly anymore. Both the bird and herb fell.

Su Xiaoxiao decisively took the herbs.

The worker, Wuhu, fell on the young Princess’s shoulder.

Yuwen Xin was shocked and almost grabbed it to throw it into the feces pit. Fortunately, she realized that it felt familiar.

“Wuhu?”

She widened her eyes. ‘Wuhu, why did you turn black? Were you struck by lightning?”

Wuhu, who was only pretending to be a crow, was speechless. Su Xiaoxiao secretly stuffed the herb into her arms.

Looking up, she realized that Moxie was watching her from not far away.

Moxie looked away and pretended not to see anything.

There was no need to check if the herb that Wuhu brought back were poisonous. After all, if it was poisonous, Wuhu would have been poisoned to death.

In view of its contribution, Su Xiaoxiao rewarded it with five pieces of bird food after returning to the inn.

Wuhu felt that its bird life had reached its peak!

Five pieces of bird food, five! It couldn’t believe it

Wuhu had its own bird cage. There was no door, but a small bird’s nest had been built in it.

It hoarded the bird food into its little nest.

In the future, when there was no bird food, it could take it out and eat it slowly.

There was no stove for brewing medicine at the inn. Su Xiaoxiao went to Zhuge Qing.

Wei Ting was afraid that he would run away again and had been guarding him in the house.

Zhuge Qing sat in the wheelchair by the bed, and the three little ones had already fallen asleep on his bed.

To Su Xiaoxiao’s surprise, the three little fellows slept neatly. Even their hair was in the same direction.

She blinked awkwardly.

Wei Ting walked over and whispered, “Second Brother arranged them.” Su Xiaoxiao was speechless.

Ah Yuan guarded the house while the assassin and Mei Ji guarded the courtyard.

Su Xiaoxiao, Zhuge Qing, and Wei Ting went to the study.

“Did you get the herb?” Wei Ting asked.

“I got it,” Su Xiaoxiao said. “That Feng Xiaoran is really cunning. He guessed that Second Brother wanted the herb and actually gave Her Highness half the herb which was poisoned. Fortunately, I was prepared.”

She took out the other half of the intact herb.

Half of the stone in Wei Ting’s heart fell. The other half would probably only completely fall when his second brother recovered.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Zhuge Qing. “Second Brother, before refining medicine, I want to take your pulse again.”

Zhuge Qing stretched out his thin wrist.

Su Xiaoxiao took his pulse. “Second Brother, did you take the stone marrow a few days ago?”

Zhuge Qing said, “Yesterday.”

Su Xiaoxiao frowned. “It’s only been a day…”

Wei Ting asked, “So what?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Second Brother’s pulse hasn’t changed much since taking the medicine. The stone marrow is becoming less and less useful to him.”

Wei Ting looked at Zhuge Qing with heartache. Zhuge Qing smiled casually.

Wei Ting noticed that his face was much paler than the first time they met. There were fine beads of sweat on his forehead. Second Brother… had been enduring the pain brought about by the cold poison.

Su Xiaoxiao began to check his legs. “By the way, Second Brother, did you see Guo Lingxi when you entered the palace today?”

“I did.’

“Did she recognize you?”

“I was wearing a mask.”

Su Xiaoxiao muttered, “As expected of Second Brother.”

Zhuge Qing’s condition could not be delayed any longer.

Ah Yuan had already bought the medicine jar and pill furnace according to her request and placed them in a separate room.

Before beginning, Su Xiaoxiao said seriously, “Second Brother, let me make it clear first. I’ve never tried this prescription. The condition of the patients recorded on it is similar to your situation, but they’re not completely the same. Therefore, I can’t guarantee the effect of this prescription for the time being.”

Zhuge Qing smiled. “It’s fine.”

“Then I’ll go.”

Su Xiaoxiao closed the door and Wei Ting guarded outside. Even if the sky collapsed tonight, he would never allow anyone to disturb her.

It was raining heavily again in the West Capital tonight. Wei Ting stood in the rain and did not move at all.

Su Xiaoxiao followed the steps recorded strictly and stayed up all night by the pill furnace. It was fine for other herbs, but there was only half a stalk of this herb.

She had no chance to get it wrong.

At dawn, the heavy rain finally stopped. Su Xiaoxiao’s door was pulled open from inside.

Wei Ting walked towards her under the wet rain. “How is it?”

Su Xiaoxiao walked out in a daze and was in a sorry state.

Wei Ting’s heart tightened. Could it be…

Su Xiaoxiao opened her palm and revealed a palm-sized box. She smiled at the dawn after the rain.

“Second Brother’s medicine..”
