Regent, your poisonous concubine is going to defy the heavens

"I have been controlled since I was a child. Now that I am married, I want to make my own decisions."

"But the Third Prince..."

Gu Zhixiao interrupted, "He has been in the concubine's courtyard all the time, so he probably doesn't remember me. I have plenty of time to help those refugees, isn't that better?"

Yinhuan still said worriedly: "But if the master knew about this, he would scold you."

"Father has been busy these days. He has no time to take care of me. Just don't send any news to the mansion."

Yinhuan froze. It turned out that the three imperial concubines knew that she had been sending messages to the Zhenguo Mansion. She could only nod guiltily and said, "Yes."

Su Shengsheng returned to her courtyard, and Yi Wan said worriedly: "Princess, why did you agree to let the Third Princess take her out of the city? If something really happens, we won't be able to explain it clearly."

"It doesn't matter. This princess wants to see what she is going to do."

Yi Wan then realized that his princess was out to trick him, and he felt relieved.

"Princess, are you going to see Zhan Sheng today?"

Su Shengsheng took a sip of tea and shook her head, "I'm not going today. I want to go to the herb garden and take a look."

Yi Wan nodded, "Then I will give that person a reply."

"Go ahead." Su Shengsheng put down the teacup, her eyes moved slightly, and suddenly called Yi Wan, "Yi Wan!"

Yi Wan walked to the door and turned around, "What do you want, Princess?"

"Go to Xuanzhong Pavilion and get some mugwort, and fumigate those places. Also, Gu Zhixiao has gone outside the city, so make sure to protect yourself."

Yi Wan bowed slightly and said, "Yes."

After Yi Wan left, Su Shengsheng did not stay for long and quickly went to the herb garden.

She had already tested Zhan Sheng’s blood last time and found out it was a bacterial infection.

It must be because the things you touch on a daily basis are not clean, and your body’s immunity is reduced, so you will naturally be infected.

After searching the herb garden, he finally found the right herb in a corner and quickly picked a few to take back to his pharmacy.

She had to find the recipe quickly, because Xiao Zhansheng couldn't wait that long.

As soon as she entered the pharmacy, Su Shengsheng started doing experiments. It was not until the sky gradually darkened that the door of the pharmacy was pushed open and Su Shengsheng walked out, stretching lazily.

She listed more than a dozen possibilities and finally selected the recipe that was most likely to succeed. Thinking that it would be too slow to go there by carriage, she asked the butler to pick a horse and rushed out of the city.

After Gu Zhixiao went out of the city, he was busy until dark. Even Yinhuan felt very tired, but when she saw her Third Royal Consort still pouring medicine for the patient so carefully, she started to move again.

Her young lady has always longed for a free life outside since she was at home. Now she can finally make her own decisions. Yinhuan is actually very relieved and happy. However, whenever she thinks of the warning her master gave her, she becomes worried.

Gu Zhixiao's hair was tied up with a simple hairpin, looking pure and lazy, with tiny beads of sweat sliding down her forehead along with her hair.

But he still gently faced the refugee in front of him, "Be careful of the heat!"

"Thank you!"

When Su Shengsheng arrived, she immediately gave the prescription to the doctor who stayed behind and asked him to prepare the medicine quickly. Then she went to Zhan Sheng's room.

Qiu'er had just fed Zhansheng the medicine, and now Zhansheng had fallen asleep. Qiu'er gently covered Zhansheng with a quilt, and when she was about to go out, she heard the sound of the door being pushed open.

When he saw that it was his princess who came in, he immediately walked over and saluted, "Princess, why are you here so late?"

Su Shengsheng stared at Zhan Sheng. After only one day's absence, the rash on little Zhan Sheng's face seemed to be a little bigger than yesterday.

"Did he show any abnormality today?"

Qiu Er shook her head, "No, Zhan Sheng kept saying he was itchy today, but I didn't dare to let him scratch too hard."

Su Shengsheng frowned. It seemed that this time the epidemic would spread rapidly as soon as the rash appeared. The incubation period was long, but once it broke out, it would be out of control.

Su Shengsheng took out the plaster she had just made and handed it to Qiu'er, "If he still feels itchy, apply this to the itchy area, it will relieve the pain for a while."

Qiu'er took the medicine, looked at Su Shengsheng and said, "Princess, how is the prescription going?"

"It has just been made, but I don't know if it will be useful for this epidemic."

Qiu Er saw that her own princess also looked very tired, so she said distressedly: "Princess, there are doctors here, you should go back and rest as soon as possible."

Su Shengsheng rubbed his forehead and said, "It's okay. I'll be here tonight."

As he was talking, Gu Zhixiao came in with a bowl of medicine, "Auntie Huang, the medicine is ready."

Su Shengsheng looked at the medicine soup in the bowl in front of her. She only added a little bit of the dosage. If anything happened to Zhan Sheng after drinking it, she could save him in time. But seeing that Zhan Sheng had fallen asleep, she hesitated whether to wake him up.

When he was about to speak, Zhan Sheng suddenly opened his eyes. He had been sleeping but his body started to itch again, and he couldn't sleep well.

Seeing the room full of people, he sat up and called out weakly, "Sister."

Su Shengsheng and the others turned around at the same time, "Did we wake you up?"

Zhan Sheng shook his head, "No, it's just that Zhan Sheng's body is too itchy."

Qiuer immediately took out the medicine and said, "Then Sister Qiuer will apply the medicine to you. This medicine was just brought by the beautiful sister. After applying it, your body will not itch as much."

Zhan Sheng nodded obediently, and Su Shengsheng took the medicine from Qiu'er's hand, "Let me do it."

"Thank you, beautiful sister." Zhan Sheng forced a smile.

Su Shengsheng opened the lid, put some ointment on her hand and gently applied it on Zhansheng's arm covered with red rashes. Zhansheng suddenly looked at the medicine bowl in Gu Zhixiao's hand and asked, "Is that medicine for Zhansheng?"

Su Shengsheng's hand paused. She had originally thought of letting Zhan Sheng drink it and try it, but then she changed her mind and thought that if any reaction occurred, Zhan Sheng would suffer again, so she gave up the idea.

She smiled and said, "No one has tried my medicine yet, don't worry."

"Why don't you ask me to try, sister?"

Su Shengsheng was stunned, "Aren't you afraid?"

Zhan Sheng smiled and shook his head, "Zhan Sheng is not afraid. If Zhan Sheng doesn't try, someone else will. Zhan Sheng's condition is serious. If he can still help his sister before he dies, Zhan Sheng will be very happy."

Su Shengsheng touched Zhansheng's head and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? It's unlucky to talk about death at such a young age."

When Gu Zhixiao saw Zhan Sheng for the first time, he was very happy. Now, seeing that Zhan Sheng had such awareness at such a young age, he liked him even more.

"Sister, let Zhan Sheng try."

Su Shengsheng said nothing. After applying the medicine to Zhan Sheng, she said softly, "Okay, go to bed early."

While Su Shengsheng stood up, Zhan Sheng found the strength to run to Gu Zhixiao and drank the medicine in the bowl in one gulp. Before Gu Zhixiao could stop him, Zhan Sheng had already drunk all the medicine in the bowl.

Su Shengsheng saw that it was too late to stop Zhan Sheng's actions, so she pretended to be angry and asked, "Who told you to make the decision without authorization?"

Zhan Sheng smiled foolishly and wiped the corner of his mouth, "Sister, this medicine is not bitter at all!"

Qiu Er shook her head and helped Zhan Sheng onto the bed. "My pretty sister didn't let you drink because it was for your own good. Why don't you listen to her?"

Zhan Sheng said aggrievedly: "Zhan Sheng knows he is wrong."
