Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 232

Chapter 232 Body Weight Poison
Yun Xiao asked Chun Lan to bandage her wrist and wrap a small bag with gauze.

Not long after, many people came from the vast courtyard. First, Eunuch Cai instructed everyone to put all the things that Jing Xu would normally need in the Nine Halls next week in the room next door.

Due to the large number of people, everyone quickly restored the room.

Eunuch Cai then kicked out all the palace maids and eunuchs. Smiling, he entered Yun Xiao’s room and sized up the Ninth Prince. Seeing that the Ninth Prince was not injured, he heaved a sigh of relief. After greeting the Ninth Prince, Zhou Jingxu, he said, “Master, this servant thought that you were injured, so I brought the thousand-year-old ginseng bestowed by the Emperor a few days ago. See?” Should I put it back.

However, Eunuch Cai didn’t say anything else.

Hearing this, Zhou Jingxu’s eyes lit up. This was a good thing!

Since Yun Xiao’s body is not well now, if she used this hundred-year-old ginseng to recuperate, she should be better soon, right?

The corner of Eunuch Cai’s mouth twitched. He obediently turned around and left. After all, although ginseng was precious, obeying Master’s orders was the most important thing.

According to his observations over the past two days, his master seemed to be exceptionally kind to the fourth young lady of the Yun Clan. Just saying that the ginseng of the past hundred years would be casually sent out was enough to tell.

However, Eunuch Cai naturally didn’t dare to say anything else. If he provoked his master to anger, sending him out wouldn’t be worth it.

And if the Emperor rewarded him with a spanner because of this ginseng, Master would definitely plead for mercy for him.

Moreover, these four girls had saved his master’s life. Wasn’t his master’s life worth a hundred-year-old ginseng?

With this thought, the wind beneath his feet brought back the hundred-year-old ginseng wrapped in a brocade box in the blink of an eye. He said respectfully, “Master, it’s this ginseng.”

Zhou Jingxu graciously took the ginseng and immediately walked to the side of Yun Xiao’s bed. He happily said, “Wood, aren’t your bones not good? Here is this hundred-year-old ginseng. You can stew it with a small piece of it. It will be very beneficial to your body.”

Yun Xiao was slightly stunned. She did not expect that Zhou Jingxu would actually be willing to give this hundred-year-old ginseng to her. Even if he was stunned, “No need, my body is not something that can be nurtured by these things.” Moreover, this hundred-year-old ginseng is very difficult to find. Such a precious thing is for life-saving purposes. How can I keep it?

Zhou Jingxu was unhappy. “I know that your Yun Clan is very rich and has a lot of money. If you want to buy some medicines for your body, you can definitely buy them. However, this is my favor. You should accept it.”

Yun Xiao insisted on not accepting it. Zhou Jingxu frowned. He secretly felt that Yun Xiao was too stupid. He didn’t even take advantage of the things that came to him. What was not stupid?

Just as the two rooms were arguing, messy footsteps came from outside. Then Eunuch Cai came in and reported, “Master, the Imperial Physician is here.”

Zhou Jingxu put aside the brocade box wrapped in ginseng and saw the imperial physician wearing a navy green robe and with a gray beard walk in. After entering, he saluted first, “Xiaoguan greets His Highness the ninth prince.”

Zhou Jingxu waved his hand and said, “Come and show Fourth Young Lady your body first. I’m afraid that someone was shocked to be assassinated by her today.”

The imperial physician hurriedly rushed over. He had originally thought that Zhou Jingxu was injured here, but also because of this great calamity, many masters were shocked and caught cold. However, he did not expect His Highness the ninth prince to call the imperial physician in such a hurry to treat other people?

Even if the imperial physician was unhappy, “Your Highness the ninth prince, there are still many masters in the palace who need to be treated.”

Zhou Jingxu naturally recognized the hidden meaning behind this sentence. His expression suddenly sank, and a trace of killing intent appeared on his face. “Could it be that without you alone, they would die?”

The imperial physician’s body trembled for a moment, but he was actually slightly frightened by the aura of a nine-year-old man.

Zhou Jingxu’s eyebrows darkened as he said sternly, “If you can’t cure their master and servant today, I will take your life! Hurry up and scram over!”

The imperial physician’s body trembled again, and he didn’t dare to say anything else. His expression was embarrassed, “Yes, yes.”

The imperial physician stumbled to the bed. Seeing that Yun Xiao’s face was pale, he wanted to stretch out his hand to take his pulse. Yun Xiao shook his head and said, “I’m fine. Let Chun Lan have a look first.” Previously, Rong Jin had only given Chun Lan medicine, but Chun Lan’s current situation was not very good.

The imperial physician did not dare to hesitate. He felt a gloomy gaze fall on him from behind, as if he was being stared at by a poisonous snake.

Chun Lan knelt down and said, “Young lady, this servant is already well. I’ll treat you first.” He had never heard of her poisoning. If it weren’t for today, she would never have known about it if she hadn’t mentioned it to Rong Jin.

Yun Xiao chuckled, “Don’t worry, I know my own body. If you want the imperial physician to diagnose and treat me earlier, hurry up and ask the imperial physician to take your pulse.”

Chun Lan only felt that her eyes were slightly moist, and she did not dare to refuse.

The imperial physician quickly cut his pulse and stroked his beard. “Although the young lady is injured, her body is fine. After I prescribe some medicine for the young lady, she will recover in three days.”

Chun Lan immediately thanked him and waited for the imperial physician to write the prescription, but she stood at the side without moving.

Only then did the imperial physician walk over to cut Yun Xiao’s pulse. Yun Xiao hid her left hand tightly under the quilt, leaving only her right wrist.

The imperial physician placed his veins on it. In just a moment, his originally calm expression suddenly darkened.

He exerted more strength on his hands, and his expression became increasingly gloomy.

Zhou Jingxu, who had been watching the imperial physician’s pulse, couldn’t help but become nervous. He walked around the room irritably. After circling around three times, the imperial physician still put his hand on his pulse and didn’t say a word, causing Zhou Jingxu’s eyebrows to wrinkle fiercely again.

“What exactly is going on? Can you say something? If you can’t diagnose your pulse, get out!” Zhou Jingxu said impatiently.

The imperial physician stood up from his chair trembling and knelt on the ground respectfully. “Fourth Young Lady’s pulse is gentle. It’s just that she lost too much blood. When this servant prescribes a set of blood nourishing medicine for the fourth young Lady, she can properly recuperate. However …”

This one only caused Zhou Jingxu’s eyebrows to tightly frown, “Just what?”

However, although the pulse of the fourth young miss was gentle and powerful, it was somewhat intermittent. After taking the pulse for a long time, one would notice that in an instant, the pulse of the fourth young miss was completely gone, like a dead person. However, it was strange for the fourth young miss to appear in front of them alive. The imperial physician was unable to explain why, so he took a longer time to cut the pulse.

The more Zhou Jingxu listened, the more irritated he became. His exquisite little face turned gloomy. “Impudent! How could a good living person not be grateful for his pulse? It must be because of your lack of skill!” If he didn’t have a pulse, why would Yun Xiao still be in front of him?

The imperial physician trembled as he knelt on the ground, his face as ashen as death. “This official is not good at learning. Please find another expert, Your Highness the ninth prince!”

“Get out of here!” Zhou Jingxu roared angrily at the imperial physician. Eunuch Cai walked in and said, “Master, what should we do now?”

“Go and call the imperial physician again. Bring me the imperial physician Wang who is looking after my mother. Tell me that I’m sick. I’m very sick.” Zhou Jingxu ordered without hesitation.

Hearing this, Eunuch Cai’s body trembled in fear. “Master, if you are seriously ill, the Empress will definitely come over. Seeing this servant lying, you can’t skin this servant!”

“If you don’t invite Imperial Physician Wang, I’ll skin you right now!” Zhou Jingxu’s words carried a trace of coldness.

When Eunuch Cai heard this, even though his body trembled, “This servant will go now! I will definitely live up to my mission!” From this, it could be seen that these four girls were actually able to make Master so angry. They must be very important to Master.

As soon as he left, he was stopped by Zhou Jingxu again, “Wait.”

Eunuch Cai hurriedly turned around and said respectfully, “Master, what other instructions do you have?”

Chun Lan, you gave the prescription to Eunuch Cai. Let him go get the medicine first. Go and make some porridge for your girl to replenish her qi and blood. Zhou Jing Xu immediately gave the order.

Chun Lan was secretly grateful in her heart. The servants in the palace were not qualified to take medicine, but Eunuch Cai was a famous person beside His Highness the Ninth Prince. With Eunuch Cai accompanying her to take medicine, the pharmacy would not refuse to give her medicine. She immediately gave the prescription to Eunuch Cai gratefully and went down to cook porridge.

The corner of Yun Xiao’s mouth curled into a hint of helplessness. “Why do you have to? My body has already said that it will be ignored. Rong Jin has prescribed medicine for me. As long as he takes it regularly, he will be fine. Besides, I am just a woman outside the palace. I have already made too many enemies in the palace. If I offend someone again because of the imperial physician, how can I continue to stay in the palace?”

Zhou Jingxu was speechless. He simply ignored Yun Xiao’s words and said, “With me in the palace, I will send you out as soon as possible.” There were many inconveniences in the palace. He did not know about Xiao Yunxiao’s poisoning before, but now that Yun Xiao was poisoned, he must take the antidote frequently. In the palace, it would be much more troublesome to get the antidote.

Moreover, the medicinal ingredients in the imperial palace had to be examined layer upon layer if they were to be obtained.

Moreover, in just a few days in the Imperial Palace, there were already so many people who did not like her and wanted to kill her one by one?

Today, if Rong Jin hadn’t arrived in time, Yun Xiao and Chun Lan would have been corpses by now.

Zhou Jingxu smiled gently at Yunxiao. His expression was gentle as he said softly, “Wood, you should rest first. I’ll go see if your porridge has come.”

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left, leaving Yun Xiao lying on the side of the bed thoughtfully.

Zhou Jingxu said he wanted to send her out of the palace?

A trace of joy flashed through Yun Xiao’s eyes. Was she really going to leave the palace?

But what was the faint uneasiness in his heart?

Zhou Jingxu strode into the kitchen and smelled waves of fragrance. Seeing that Chun Lan was just about to bring out the porridge, he smiled and said, “I didn’t expect your girl’s cooking skills to be very good. Your cooking skills are also not bad.”

Chun Lan was slightly shocked. She hurriedly turned to look at the person who came in behind her and bowed respectfully. “Greetings, Your Highness the Ninth Prince.”

“Get up,” Zhou Jingxu walked to the stove and looked at the Lycium barbarum and Coix seeds and dates porridge on the stove. “Is this porridge for your girl?”

Chun Lan nodded, “Yes, Your Highness, what do you think is wrong?”

Zhou Jingxu no longer replied. He took out a small porcelain bottle from his bosom and poured some of the medicine into it. He picked up a spoon and stirred it twice. “Take it to your girl to eat.”

Chun Lan was stunned. Zhou Jingxu actually drugged the food that the girl used under his eyes?

“Your Highness! What kind of medicine is this?”

Zhou Jingxu raised his eyes, and the corner of his mouth curved into a faint arc. “Poison, don’t worry, no one will die.”

When she heard the poison, Chun Lan’s heart tightened. She immediately knelt down and said in horror, “Your Highness, did my girl offend you? If you punish me, punish me. It has nothing to do with my girl. Please let my girl go.”

Zhou Jingxu lowered his head. He just happened to see this scene and his eyes darkened. “If you want your girl to leave the palace, feed this bowl of medicine to the wood honestly.”
