The Emperor's Daughter Arrives: Upgrade to Fight Monsters and Find Husbands

"Xiaoxiao, let me tell you, you can't hide it from big brother." Dong Anyen jumped out from behind the tree and patted Dongxiao's head with a smile.

"I originally thought Sister Jiu couldn't recognize me, but I didn't expect to be seen through all of a sudden. Alas~"

"The elixir you are taking was refined by my elder brother. With his fiery eyes, how could he not recognize you?"

Jiutang tilted his head and looked at Dongfang Xiao.

Her appearance and body shape are indeed not the same as before. Of course, the elixir she refined cannot be seen through according to the cultivation level of the interface cultivator. It's just that although the appearance and body shape can change, a small inadvertent movement can still reveal the original identity.

"I told the second princess that I also want to go to the palace banquet. I never dared to think about the palace banquet in a second-class country before." Dongfang Xiao smiled a little shyly, "If it weren't for the light of Sister Ninth , I didn’t even have the chance to come out and see the world.”

"That's it." Jiutang took a few steps forward and took Dongfang Xiao's hand. "It's getting late. Don't let Li Xue wait too long."

"Hey, brother, did you forget something?"

Jiutang held Dongfang Xiao in hand and turned around in confusion: "What?"

Dong Anchen crossed his arms and said angrily, "Why don't you take me with you?"

Jiu Tang was slightly speechless. This was not a trip to the street. The palace banquet was not going well either. Moreover, there are not always many maids around Li Xue, so there is no reason to bring so many maids to escort him to the palace banquet this time.

"Miss Jin." Before Jiu Tang could say anything, Li Xue opened the door and came out, "Why don't we go together."

Since we have brought Dong Anchen with us, there is no reason not to bring Qingwu with us. And with the three of them, Li Wei naturally didn't want to stay alone in an empty room.

So finally, Li Xue entered the palace, taking with him two maids and two guards besides Jiu Tang. Although it was much worse than that of other officials and concubines, it had never been so lively around her.

Except for Jiu Tang, who entered the palace as a doctor invited by Li Xue, the remaining four people all looked like Li Xue's attendants. Naturally, Li Xue's carriage was in front, and they rode in the back.

Originally, Li Xue invited Jiu Tang to ride in a carriage with her, but Jiu Tang wanted to have more fun with the four people from Dong An, but she regretted this hasty decision soon after.

Because since they got on the carriage, Dong Anyen and Dongfang Xiao haven't stopped talking.

"Xiaoxiao! Look at that, that horse, it's so handsome, its horns are actually green!"

"Tsk~~I don't know. Hey, sister Jiu, look at that chicken! A pure red chicken! That tail is bigger than Dong Anchen's head!"

"You have a big head! Like a watermelon!"

Jiu Tang: ..... My head is quite big now.

The two of them arrived at the palace noisily, but fortunately Qingwu and Li Wei were quiet.

After entering the palace gate, the two enemies finally calmed down, and Jiu Tang felt inexplicably relieved. She has almost no requirements for these two people, as long as they don't cause trouble at critical moments.

The carriage gradually stopped, the coachman opened the curtain, and the five people got out of the carriage one by one.

Li Xue had just been helped out of the car by several palace attendants. When no one saw her, she quietly waved to Jiu Tang, with a cute and cute look on her face.

Jiu Tang smiled slightly, and stepped forward with the four of them, standing behind Li Xue. The four of them looked exactly like the attendants.

Seeing Dong An Chen and Dongfang Xiao's eyes intersecting, they wanted to start a quarrel again. Jiu Tang tilted his head and gave them a look, signaling them to be more honest. It was really strange. I had never seen these two people be so capable before. explain.

Before a few people could move, they saw a group of palace people in the distance looking towards them. When the leader saw Li Xue, he quickly changed his smile and exaggeratedly squeezed out wrinkles on his face.

Li Xue watched the group of people speeding towards her from a distance, with some unconcealable surprise on her face, and couldn't help but take a half step back.

"The servants have seen Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess." All the palace servants nodded and bowed in greeting.

"Princess Princess?" Li Xue was startled, remembering that there was such a thing, but later she was too worried about the whereabouts of the demon pill, and her father saw through it, so she didn't think about it carefully.

"What about the prince brother? No, where is the eldest prince?"

Several palace people in front of them looked at each other, and it took a long time for one of them to speak cautiously: "The emperor said that the eldest prince was seriously injured and his life is now in danger. He also asked the spiritual master to calculate it and said that the eldest prince was unlucky and could not bear the heavy responsibility. And you This is the true destiny choice, this is..."

Seeing that Li Xue was silent, several palace officials said: "The dinner in the palace will not be ready for some time. I heard that His Highness was frightened in the palace. The Queen was very worried and wanted to see His Highness before the dinner."

Li Xue knew that now was not the time to worry about the identity change between herself and the prince brother: "Then let's go."

"Gu~~" Dong Anchen's stomach made a loud sound, and Jiu Tang turned his head away unbearably.

Li Xue paused and pointed to one of the palace servants: "You, please take my attendants to dine first."

Although Dong Anchen was a little reluctant, the palace people still took the four people away, leaving only Jiu Tang to accompany Li Xue to see the Queen.

The Queen's Courtyard looked livelier than before. Even though it was dark now, it was still illuminated by bright lights.

Palace people come and go, the fallen leaves in the courtyard are now cleaned up, and dozens of pots of spiritual flowers and herbs that are not afraid of the cold have been added, and they look colorful and full of life.

Several large boxes containing spirit stones and treasures were placed in the yard before they could be moved in.

"These are all gifts from the emperor." Seeing Li Xue's eyes falling on the big red boxes, the palace official explained with a sigh on his face.

The emperor had been seriously ill for a long time, and now he finally got better, but he seemed to be a different person. He loved the good concubine so much before, but now he has sent the good concubine and the Shen family to death. Originally, he didn't care about the queen at all, and just barely maintained her status as queen.

Now, he came to visit the Queen immediately, and suddenly made the Second Princess the eldest daughter of the Emperor. It's really strange. However, no one dared to figure out the emperor's thoughts. As servants, they just had to do their part.

Moreover, the emperor had just purged a group of concubines and palace servants who had sinned against the queen, and his methods were really deplorable.

Some of the villains who took advantage of the situation also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, when the queen was seriously ill and lost power, they did not take the opportunity to add insult to injury. Otherwise, according to the emperor's current favor towards the queen, if they did anything to humiliate the queen, they would probably suffer.

The little palace maid who was guarding in front of the door saw the palace man bringing Li Xue over, and hurriedly trotted to the front: "I have met Your Highness. The Emperor just left to prepare for the palace banquet. The Queen just asked the slaves to come out to greet them, and it happened to be You are here. Come with me, slave."

"The Queen said she wants to see you alone." Seeing that the girl beside the Crown Princess also wanted to follow, the little palace maid quickly reminded her.

Seeing that the young palace man wanted to stop Jiu Tang, Li Xue immediately said: "It doesn't matter, this palace and the queen mother have their own arrangements. Miss Jin is a distinguished guest from afar, you all can go down."

"Yes." The palace officials looked around. Since the concubine had said so, there was no reason for them to stop her.

Jiu Tang once again stepped into the queen's palace, but this time he came in openly and openly with Li Xue.

Although the atmosphere in the hall is still a little gloomy, it is still much better than before. Maybe it is because there are more people walking around and it has gained some popularity. The cauldron in the center of the hall was still burning incense, sending out curls of green smoke.

Jiu Tang took a deep breath - the best spices and medicinal materials were used.

Entering the inner room, the two met the queen. The queen was well-dressed and sitting at the table. It could be seen that she had made full preparations for the dinner, showing her style as the mother of a country. His complexion is much better than the last time I saw him. He has lost the heavy sick look before, perhaps because of the makeup, and his complexion is still a little rosy.

Seeing Jiu Tang following Li Xue, the queen was surprised for a moment, then withdrew her gaze and looked at Li Xue running towards him with a smile.

"Mother!" Li Xue was certainly happy to see that the Queen looked much better.

The empress stood up and took Li Xue to sit down: "You are so old, why are you still making noises? She doesn't look like a princess at all."

Li Xue was stunned: "Does the Queen also know about this?"

"Silly boy, why didn't the queen know this? When your father first came here, he told the queen that the eldest prince is no longer worthy of his responsibilities. Of all the princes and princesses in the palace, my Xiaoxue has the most ability. "

"But..." Li Xue murmured, "The contrast between my father before and now is so great, as if he has become a different person after waking up. Xiaoxue always feels a little uneasy in her heart."

"And my brother has been trained as a prince for many years, and now...me." Li Xue lowered her head and sounded worried.

"Don't think so much. Since your father has made this decision, it means you can definitely do it."

Li Xue lowered her head and thought for a long time: "Mother, are you feeling better?"

The Empress smiled and said, "My mother is used to this old problem. Today your father hired the best alchemist to see my mother..." The Queen smiled and shook her head, and stopped talking.

Li Xue quickly stood up and pulled Jiu Tang, who was behind him as a transparent person: "This is the direct disciple of a hidden power. I went to beg for a long time before inviting him. He is a very strong alchemist." , why not let her come and show it to the Queen Mother."

Jiu Tang stepped forward and bent slightly: "I have met the Queen."

After hearing Li Xue's words, the queen's original dullness became a little more serious.

"Originally, I thought that the girl looked not much older than our Xiaoxue, and I thought she was a pampered aristocratic lady Xiaoxue had just met. It was really disrespectful. But I am already very content to see Xiaoxue grow up so big, and I don't dare to ask for anything more. too much."

The queen's tone was hesitant, and her eyes looking at Li Xue were full of contentment and relief. Just like she said, she was actually very content with her current situation.

"The queen has her own good fortune, why do you say such depressing words." Jiu Tang smiled faintly, "Why don't I show it to the queen? I have learned a lot from my tutor over the years. Even if the queen's disease cannot be cured, it can be slightly alleviated. Maybe some of that is also possible.”

"Yes, Queen Mother, I found Miss Jin with great difficulty. Just let Miss Jin take a look." Li Xue heard the reluctance in the Queen's words, and hurriedly stepped forward and said coquettishly, "What Queen Mother said If so, my mother will definitely stay with Xiaoxue in good health."

"Okay, okay." The queen smiled helplessly at Li Xue, "There's really nothing we can do about this kid like you."

He nodded to Jiutang again: "Excuse me, Miss Jin."

Jiu Tang stepped forward and placed his hand on the Queen's pulse. There was no expression on his face, and the palace fell into a long silence.

The queen looked relaxed, as if she didn't care about her condition at all, but Li Xue looked nervous, and her eyes kept wandering between Jiu Tang's hand on the queen's face and her face.

"How long have you been burning the incense?" Jiu Tang suddenly said this, breaking the silence.

"What incense?" Li Xue didn't understand why Jiu Tang suddenly asked this. She remembered that the only incense in the queen's palace was the one burning in the stove outside. Although the fragrance was weak, it could be clearly smelled in the entire palace. "Since when did your mother like to light incense?"

If she remembered correctly, there was no such stove and incense in the temple before. It should have suddenly appeared in the temple a few months ago. Although she was a little curious, her mother was not in good health at that time, so she didn't think of asking more.

The queen's tone was even more puzzled than Li Xue's: "Didn't you give this incense to your mother? At that time, you told your mother that you specifically asked the alchemist for the fragrant prescription, which has a calming effect."

Although Li Xue had no impression, since the Queen said so, it must have been done when Bai Que took over her body. She didn't want the queen to see the clues, so she said haha: "Yes! I just remembered that Xiaoxue was worried about the queen's health during this period, and she forgot about it for a while."

The queen didn't think much about it and turned to ask Jiutang: "What did Miss Jin see?"

Jiu Tang thought for a while, "This... this incense is really good. It has greatly alleviated the condition of the empress. It seems that the second princess has really put a lot of thought into it. But I suddenly thought of a better one. I will open the palace door later to use this fragrance." Go away, I'll prepare another party for you."

"What about the Queen Mother's illness?" Li Xue knew that there must be something wrong with the incense, otherwise Miss Jin wouldn't have said that. Moreover, Miss Jin only talked about incense and did not mention the queen's illness. It was unlikely that it could be cured easily.

"The Queen's illness can only be treated well. I will prescribe a few doses of medicine to the Queen later. At least it can relieve the Queen's pain."

Li Xue felt heavy and smiled: "Thank you so much, Miss Jin."

"Xiaoxue, my mother has prepared a dress for you. Please put it on before going to the banquet."

The queen called out to the palace, and an older nanny came in: "Take the second princess down to change clothes."

The nanny took Li Xue and Jiu Tang away and went to another room in the courtyard. After presenting the clothes, grandma withdrew.

Li Xue hurriedly pulled Jiutang: "Miss Jin, what's going on with the queen's illness?"

"Hmm..." Jiu Tang said after considering, "The Queen has inhaled the incense for too long, and someone has placed a curse on her body. I can only try my best to alleviate it, but the rest..."

When Li Xue heard this, her tone was trembling: "There is indeed something wrong with that incense! It must be Bai Que!"

"There is nothing wrong with the incense. Just like what the Queen said, it does have the effect of calming the mind and nourishing the mind. It's just that the white bird used its own blood to raise the curse worm and gave it to the Queen. The curse worm was in the queen's body. If you smell the incense, you will go crazy. That's why the empress..."

"Is there any way to cure it?" Li Xue's voice trembled. She really couldn't imagine what if the queen mother...

"Yes, but...it still depends on you."
