As soon as the carriage left the Duke of Qin's estate, it stopped.
The poison on Princess Changping's face had already flared up and was currently itching unbearably. As long as she left the estate, she would be fine. Even if she was by the roadside, she couldn't care less.
With a lantern in one hand and a skirt in the other, she hurriedly entered Han Yunxi's carriage. Han Yunxi was currently dozing off. Seeing her enter, she subconsciously reached out to block the dazzling light.
"Your Highness, you …"
Before she could finish speaking, Princess Changping suddenly tore off her veiled bamboo hat, revealing a face full of poison. Because of her deathly pale complexion, she appeared abnormally frightening under the illumination of the lantern light.
"A ghost!"
Han Yunxi blurted out. Half of it was an act, the other half was true. She understood this poison, but she had never seen a real case.
"Han Yunxi, you dare call this princess a ghost?" Princess Changping was furious. Did she really look like a ghost?
Every imperial physician who had treated her had been frightened by her. She didn't even dare to look at herself in the mirror.
"No … no …" Han Yunxi was extremely weak. She couldn't even shake her head and could only lie there, paralyzed.
In reality, after eating Medicinal Pills, drinking millet porridge, and eating ginseng, Han Yunxi wasn't so weak anymore. However, in front of the domineering Princess Changping, she obviously had to 'show weakness'.
"Han Yunxi, get up! Imperial Physician Gu said you're very good at curing poisons. Hurry and cure me! Hurry! I'm dying from the itch! "Princess Changping ordered without any trace of politeness.
Leaving aside the fact that Princess Changping was a junior, she was the one asking for help. She shouldn't be shouting and ordering people around like this.
If she wasn't given a real lesson, she really wouldn't learn.
"Prin … Princess, I … I …"
Han Yunxi couldn't finish her sentence. Princess Changping was about to die from anxiety. Several times, her hands reached to her face, almost unable to resist scratching it.
"You what? Hurry up and help me take a look!"
As she spoke, she suddenly approached Han Yunxi and almost pressed her face against hers. If it were anyone else, they would have vomited already. However, Han Yunxi had seen poisons that were even more disgusting than this, so she was already immune to them.
"Princess … Princess … I … I don't have … the strength!" Finally, she finished her sentence.
"Look! Just take a look! How much strength do you need to take a look? Aren't you very powerful? Why? Can't you do it now? "
Princess Changping was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. As she ordered, she clenched her fists, afraid that she wouldn't be able to control herself.
"Then … Princess, take …"
Han Yunxi was like a person on the verge of death. Hearing this, Princess Changping couldn't bear it any longer and roared, "What do you want to say?"
Princess Changping didn't know that the more agitated she was, the more her adrenaline would surge. This kind of adrenaline would cause the poison on her face to flare up even faster.
"Bring the lantern … closer so I can see clearly," Han Yunxi said slowly.
Although she was angry, at this time, she would definitely do whatever Han Yunxi told her to do. She was extremely obedient and immediately brought the lantern closer.
But who knew that when the light shone over, Han Yunxi didn't even look at Princess Changping's face. She suddenly closed her eyes and fainted.
"Ah …"
Princess Changping was unable to restrain her anger and screamed like a madwoman. How could it be like this?
She raised the lantern and was about to smash it on Han Yunxi's face, but in the end, she held it back and endured it like she was enduring an itch.
Han Yunxi was her last hope!
Hearing this scream, the empress, who was waiting outside, hurriedly asked, "Changping, what's wrong?"
Princess Changping came out of the carriage and smashed the lantern on the ground. Finally, she burst into tears. "She fainted! Wuwuwu, that slut actually fainted! Useless thing! "
As she cried, her hands unconsciously scratched her face. Seeing this, the empress was frightened and immediately went forward to grab her hands. "Don't scratch! You'll ruin your face! "
A palace maid at the side hurriedly helped her put on the white veil bamboo hat, but who knew that Princess Changping would suddenly break free from the empress's hands and flip over the hat, fiercely scratching her face.
Heaven knows how itchy she was and how hard she scratched. Just this one scratch and her cheeks were already bleeding! Princess Changping didn't seem to feel the pain and continued scratching.
"Ah …"
The empress was so frightened that her face turned pale. "Someone, quick … quickly stop her and grab her hands!"
The guards immediately rushed forward and pulled Princess Changping's hands away.
"Let go of me! You've got guts! Let go! "
"It's so itchy, let go! I order you to let go, I'm going to kill you! "
… …
Princess Changping violently struggled, scaring the empress into tears. "Quick, quickly tie her hands and cover her mouth!"
Although it was the middle of the night, they were currently on the main street. If they woke up the surrounding commoners and this matter spread, how would Princess Changping be able to face others in the future?
Very quickly, Princess Changping's hands were tied and her mouth gagged.
The empress looked towards Han Yunxi's carriage, hatred flashing through her red eyes. Han Yunxi, if it weren't for you, Changping wouldn't have gone to the justice courts and wouldn't have been poisoned. You better make sure that Changping's face is safe. Otherwise, this consort and the empress dowager definitely won't let you off!
After bringing Princess Changping back to her own carriage, the group hurried back to the imperial palace.
The horses galloped, but the spacious and comfortable carriage wasn't bumpy at all. Han Yunxi lazily reclined, her eyes closed, but a happy smile appeared on her lips.
Those who came out to make a living all had to pay. Those who came out to make a living weren't afraid.
When they returned to the palace, the east was already bright.
Princess Changping was completely exhausted. The poison seemed to have passed and she had already fainted.
Han Yunxi was sent to Princess Changping's Anping Palace. She was half asleep and half awake, allowing the palace maids to place her on a warm bed.
Very quickly, the empress and imperial physician Gu came over.
"She caught a cold and is very weak. She fainted on the way here." The empress explained the general situation.
Gu Beiyue didn't say anything. He just sat by the bed and took Han Yunxi's pulse through the curtains. Gu Beiyue was a divine doctor. He knew Han Yunxi's situation with a single pulse.
This was caused by starvation. It wasn't an illness, but she was weak and didn't have enough strength. Fortunately, she had already been rescued, so the problem wasn't too big. She was currently recovering, so she shouldn't be as weak as the empress said.
Gu Beiyue's clear black eyes flashed with interest. He stood up. "Reporting to the empress, this is a severe cold. The wangfei's body is very weak and needs to be properly nurtured. If we forcefully wake her up to have her treat the princess, this official is afraid … …"
"What?" The empress quickly asked. Since they were already in the palace, she didn't care how Han Yunxi's body was. As long as she could treat Changping's illness, even if she had to draw Han Yunxi's blood, she would still agree.
"This official is afraid that not only will the wangfei not be able to treat Princess Changping's illness, she won't even be able to protect her own life!" Gu Beiyue was clearly exaggerating.
But how could the empress understand this? Hearing this situation, she became nervous. If it was like this, Changping's face wouldn't be preserved. She wouldn't be able to pay for Han Yunxi's life.
If she had known earlier, she would have persuaded Changping to stay in the Duke of Qin's manor. If she was laughed at, then so be it. It was better than being responsible for Han Yunxi's life.
The empress took a deep breath. "Then let's save her first. How long will it take for her to recover?"
"One or two days. It's just that Princess Changping will have to suffer a bit." Gu Beiyue honestly replied.
The empress frowned. She was so depressed that she couldn't speak. Unfortunately, she had no other choice. She could only instruct Gu Beiyue, "Use the best medicine. You must let Qin Wangfei recover as soon as possible. Understood?"
"This official understands." Gu Beiyue nodded. "This official will go write up the prescription now."
Gu Beiyue left. The empress went to see Princess Changping, leaving behind a palace maid to watch over her.
Han Yunxi was so happy that she almost laughed out loud. Who knew what Gu Beiyue would use this opportunity to give her to nurse her body back to health? Although one or two days wasn't enough to completely recover, getting off the bed and moving around wouldn't harm her body.
Gu Beiyue was truly a thoughtful and intelligent person.
Just as Han Yunxi expected, Gu Beiyue prepared an extremely expensive prescription for warming and nourishing her body. Han Yunxi really wanted to eat a big meal, but a starving person couldn't overeat. If it was light, it would cause indigestion, and if it was heavy, it would cause her to die.
Gu Beiyue's prescription not only nourished her body in the most gentle way, it also reduced her intense appetite.
With the warm man's medicine and sufficient sleep, Han Yunxi was full of energy after two days.
However … Princess Changping was miserable. In these two days, the poison had flared up three times. Each time, it was heart-wrenching, making her want to kill herself.
Han Yunxi got off the bed, but Princess Changping was lying down. Her hands and feet were all tied up to prevent her from harming herself.
The empress sat by the bed and tried to persuade her. Princess Changping couldn't listen anymore and muttered, "Where's that slut Han Yunxi? She's not going to save me, is she? "
"Muhou, bring her here! She must be faking it! She must want to see me poisoned to death! "
"It's all because of her! It's all her fault! If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have gone to the prisons … sobsob, muhou, she's the one who harmed me! "" Muhou, let me go … I'm going to find her! "
… …
Han Yunxi followed Gu Beiyue inside and listened silently. Princess Changping didn't even think about what she was doing in the prisons that night. She actually dared to blame her.
When she heard Gu Beiyue talk about her condition these days, she felt a bit of sympathy and wanted to treat her poison today. But now Han Yunxi had gone back on her word. Pitiful people were always hateful!
Princess Changping wasn't someone she wanted to save, so there was no need to talk to her about the benevolence of a doctor.
"Chenqie greets esteemed empress."
"This humble subject greets esteemed empress and princess."
Han Yunxi and Imperial Physician Gu bowed through the curtains. The empress hastily had them rise and spoke kindly. "Yunxi, hurry and come in. Changping's been waiting for you for a long time."
Princess Changping had already stopped making noise, but her phoenix eyes were glaring fiercely at Han Yunxi.
Han Yunxi sat down by the bed and said mildly, "It's too dark. Bring the lantern over."
A court lady quickly shone the lantern over. The strong light made Princess Changping blink, but she still stubbornly stared at Han Yunxi.
Han Yunxi said mildly, "Changping, close your eyes. Let me see if there's any poison on your eyelids."
At these words, Princess Changping immediately shut her eyes. Her frightened expression made Han Yunxi feel disdain.
What was this girl being so stubborn for? If she had the skills, then keep glaring at her.
Han Yunxi carefully examined her face and secretly activated a scanning system to determine the spread of the poison and whether it had changed. Afterwards, she checked the condition of her legs.
Princess Changping was lucky that the poison hadn't spread much and hadn't changed.
Seeing Han Yunxi finish her examination, the empress quickly asked, "How is it? Is it poison? What kind of poison is it? Can it be treated? "
Princess Changping finally realized that the examination was over. She opened her eyes and ordered arrogantly, "Han Yunxi, what are you dawdling for? Hurry up and say it!"
