After reading my mind, Daddy, why don't you smile?

"Yes, the Palm Lotus has bloomed twice, but I planted it there and established this rule. My intention was not to see whether the flower blooms or not. The magic medicine that people seek is in the heart of the flower. Everyone is trapped in the rut of thinking that they can only get the medicine by making the flower bloom. How vain and stupid!"

As he spoke, Master Cao looked at Shangguan Qingyue with eyes full of surprise, "Only people with pure hearts and noble minds can understand this truth."

Across the sea of ​​people, two pairs of eyes met passionately.

Shangguan Qingyue's clear eyes moved, [Ahhhhhh, are you talking about me? ]

【Good vision! 】

Mr. Cao walked towards Shangguan Qingyue, step by step... until he stood in front of Shangguan Qingyue. Before he opened his mouth, he heard a voice.

"Ah!"

Shangguan Qingyue covered his nose with both hands and looked at Master Cao in horror, [Fuck, I know what he is...]

……

Zhao Ying brought Shangguan Qingyue down the mountain. The little guy didn't want to be Master Cao's apprentice. They had achieved their goal, so of course they wouldn't stay long.

Mr. Cao was reluctant to leave Shangguan Qingyue and said that he would go to find her, which scared Shangguan Qingyue so much that she waved her hands repeatedly.

When they all returned to the inn, Zhao Ying called the imperial physician and the Miao doctor to examine Zhao Xi. After taking his pulse, the imperial physicians were relieved and said that Prince Ding's miasma had been cured and they could just prescribe some medicine for conditioning.

However, the Miao doctor disagreed. Seeing that he looked unhappy, Zhao Xi dismissed everyone, leaving only Zhao Ying, Shangguan Qingyue and Qian Chengluo.

He is the legitimate son of the current emperor, and his physical condition cannot be made known to others casually, so as to prevent someone with ulterior motives from taking advantage of him.

Zhao Xi actually didn't want Zhao Ying to know, but she was the one who recommended the Miao doctor, so even if she was kicked out, she couldn't hide it from her.

The Miao doctor said, "Your Highness, when I first examined you, I noticed that your pulse was unstable and it jumped frequently, which seemed to be more than that of an ordinary person. I thought it was caused by the toxins that had accumulated in your body for a long time. You were infected with countless poisons when you were young, and you have developed a physique that is resistant to poisons. If you didn't have such a physique, I'm afraid your Highness would not be able to make it to Dali."

Zhao Xi did not comment, but only asked, "Doctor, just speak frankly."

The Miaojiang doctor frowned and shook his head. "I can cure the remaining poison hidden in your body. But this poison may accompany your life for the rest of your life." He quickly added, "Don't panic, your life will not be in danger!"

Zhao Ying asked curiously, "If it's not poison, then what is it?"

"Your Highness, it's a Gu!"

"Gu?" Everyone was slightly surprised.

Zhao Xi was also surprised. He asked, "What kind of poison is it?"

"If my diagnosis is correct, this is the 'heart-eating poison'!"

"If you are infected with this poison, it is actually a sign of the end of love. If you miss your loved one, or get close to them and become emotional, the poison in your body will be activated and will gnaw at your heart, causing you to suffer unbearable pain. The more emotional you are, the more pain you will feel."

"Then as long as you don't get emotionally moved, everything will be fine?" Zhao Ying asked.

Doctor Miao nodded, "Yes, as long as you don't get emotional, the Gu will be as good as dead."

Shangguan Qingyue looked up at Zhao Ying with sparkling eyes, "Mother, you are so smart!"

Zhao Ying rubbed the little guy's face and breathed a sigh of relief.

Qi Dongqiang is already dead, so this Gu should have no effect on Zhao Xi.

Zhao Xi's expression became depressed after hearing this Gu. After a long while, he said, "I understand."

Seeing his expression, no one dared to speak. Zhao Ying thought that she should find an opportunity to talk to Zhao Xi about Qi Dongqiang.

This is a hurdle that the two siblings will never be able to overcome. Of course, it may be that she is overthinking it, but the more indifferent Zhao Xi looks, the more worried she becomes. She doesn't understand Zhao Xi, but she understands herself.

If her loved one was killed, she would take revenge without mercy!

After all, they are brother and sister, so their temperaments should be similar.

If he really holds a grudge... maybe she can't make him let go of the hatred, but she can test his bottom line.

Zhao Xi asked the Miaojiang doctor to leave. Before leaving, the Miaojiang doctor said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I will do my best to find a way to cure the poison for Your Highness."

Zhao Xi smiled and said nothing.

During dinner, Zhao Ying, Zhao Xi and Shangguan Qingyue were together. The two adults each had their own concerns, but Shangguan Qingyue ate with relish. He finished the rice in the bowl in a few gulps, with rice grains still hanging on his face. His little hand reached out for the lychees on the table.

[My mother said that you have to be full before you can eat fruit. I am already full! ]

Seeing this, Zhao Ying asked someone to peel the lychees for her. Seeing the little girl eating with an intoxicated look on her face, her chubby body swaying with joy, Zhao Ying wanted to laugh, but suddenly asked, "Is it so delicious?"

[Yes, yes! It’s too sweet and spicy! I feel like I’m going to die from the sweetness! ]

The little fellow covered his face with his hands, intoxicated and regretful, "Mom, why can't the capital grow lychees? How can there be something so delicious as lychees in this world!"

Zhao Ying smiled, and Zhao Xi beside her also sneered.

"It's okay. I think lychees are delicious, but not as delicious as durian. Durian is not only sweet and delicious, but also soft and sticky with a sweet aftertaste..." Zhao Ying said, and couldn't help smacking his lips, as if he was savoring the taste.

【Durian? What is durian? 】

[Is it more delicious than lychees? Is there anything in the world that tastes better than lychees? ]

When Shangguan Qingyue heard that it was more delicious than lychees, his dark eyes froze instantly, and he asked weakly with a eager look,

"Mom, what does durian taste like?"

Zhao Ying frowned, "Have you forgotten? You have eaten it, isn't your father..."

Shangguan Qingyue shook his head, "Mother, I have never eaten it!"

Zhao Ying suddenly thought of something and stopped talking abruptly, then he wanted to slap himself twice.

But Zhao Xi understood what was going on, and he just wanted to watch the fun, so he said calmly, "I haven't eaten it either. Poor people like me and Yue'er, who have been living away from home since childhood, can barely get enough food, so how can we expect to eat something this good!"

Zhao Ying: ...

Looking at Shangguan Qingyue again, his mouth was already pouting high.

[Humph! Whoever ate it, ate it. Whoever ate my durian! ! Is it a fake Qian Jin! ]

"What happened to daddy?"

Zhao Ying was unable to speak, "Before... before, your father came back from Dali and brought back a durian. Your father said it was the sacred fruit of the Burmese tribe and tasted pretty good. He originally brought back a lot of them, but they all rotted along the way, so he only saved one and didn't even give it to your royal grandfather. He took it directly back to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion."

Shangguan Qingyue's thick eyelashes trembled, and she pursed her lips, "And then?"

Zhao Ying scratched the back of her neck awkwardly, thinking to herself that it was not good, but since things had come to this point, it would seem even more guilty if she didn't say anything. However, she could just say it casually, because her daughter was young and easy to fool anyway!

"Then... the whole family shared it and ate it."

"Oh……"

The little guy hummed dejectedly, then lowered his head and stopped talking.

Zhao Ying's heart broke when she saw this.

She wanted to give some advice, but unfortunately she couldn't speak. She just looked at her lovely little girl silently. After a while, she looked up and said seriously, "Mom, I'm not greedy!"

Zhao Ying frowned, took out a silk handkerchief, gently wiped the drool from the corner of the little guy's mouth, and said, "Mother knows..."
