Early in the morning, Xiao Yuehan was in the small kitchen of Magnolia Garden, thinking about making his own hamburger.
She wanted to do her best. Since she hadn't found a store yet, she had time to continue her research.
While she was busy, Qiao'er came over and said to her, "Princess, Master Ning wants to have a chat in the garden."
Putting down the work in his hands, Xiao Yuehan came to the pavilion next to the rockery in the palace.
Young Master Ning, dressed in a flowing blue robe, stood by the pond next to the rockery.
Lotus flowers are blooming in the pond, and fish are swimming happily in the sunshine.
From a distance, it looks like an ink painting with people and scenery.
On the porcelain table in the pavilion, there were several plates of exquisite desserts and seasonal fruits, and the green tea in the tea bowls was filled with fragrance.
Seeing Xiao Yuehan, Master Ning stood up and saluted.
The friendly tone made people feel comfortable: "I have met the princess."
Xiao Yuehan returned the greeting and sat down.
She asked, "Excuse me, sir, what do you want to see me about?" She was full of doubts and secretly complained:
I don't think I know you very well. What is the matter that requires us to come here to discuss? But she was polite.
Master Ning held the fine porcelain teacup with his slender fingers and handed it to Xiao Yuehan.
A sincere smile on his face, his eyes full of inquiry.
Xiao Yuehan was frightened by his actions and hurriedly took the teacup.
With a faint smile, he said, "Mr. Ning, I'm fine on my own."
Mr. Ning did not speak, his eyes seemed to be looking at the clouds in the sky.
Xiao Yuehan had no choice but to lower her head and sniff the tea in her hand. The fragrance of the tea made her take a deep breath.
The sight of her slightly closing her eyes and sipping the tea and smelling the fragrance made Master Ning retract his gaze from into the distance.
Did he want to drink tea and discuss poetry with me? Seeing that he didn't say what he wanted to talk to me about, I didn't ask him and continued to drink tea.
Seeing the little princess in front of him so calm, Master Ning became even more curious.
He seemed to know a little bit about why the prince looked at her differently.
He filled Xiao Yuehan's teacup and said with some emotion.
"Princess, you don't know that the poison in the prince's body is the pain of our brothers and everyone in the palace."
Talking about this heavy topic seemed to touch the bottom of his heart. He lowered his eyes, his eyes were misty.
What kind of emotion is this.
Xiao Yuehan saw his soft and sincere heart towards Zi Sangyu.
Master Ning raised his eyelids and looked into the distance, ripples flickering in his eyes.
His thoughts went back to the past, the days when he accompanied Zi Sangyu when he was poisoned.
He continued, “When the late emperor was alive, he particularly loved Zi Sangyu and made him the crown prince very early on.
At that time, he was carefree and we were his best playmates.
I remember that time when the border bandits invaded, the emperor led the army in person to fight the enemy, but was hit by a poisoned arrow and died of the poison shortly after returning.
The emperor's uncle ascended the throne and became the current emperor.
The emperor sent him to a military camp far away on the frontier, saying that it was to strengthen his physique so that he would have important responsibilities in the future.
The prince was probably only five or six years old at the time, and he left his mother and went to the bitter cold country of Dian.”
Having said this, a tear fell from Master Ning's clear eyes.
He didn't want to lose his composure in front of Xiao Yuehan.
Turning his back, he wiped away his tears with his sleeve and said, “Since then, we haven’t seen him again for more than ten years.
And his mother, our beloved Concubine Jiang, also died of illness two years after he went to Yunnan."
Hearing this, Xiao Yuehan's heart suddenly ached.
She turned her head and looked at the bedroom used by Zisang.
I thought: How could the prince be like me, living in poverty and suffering hardships since childhood, and losing his mother at a young age?
Master Ning continued, “More than a decade later, he came back.
When we saw him again, he had become a tall and mighty god of war.
We also learned that he led troops to fight at the age of fifteen and won battles one after another.
In the southwest, he had already accomplished something and commanded hundreds of thousands of troops. So the emperor recalled him.
There was obviously something behind Mr. Ning's words. He didn't say it explicitly, but Xiao Yuehan could hear a clue from it.
He took a sip of tea and continued, “At the same time, we learned that the prince was infected with a slow-acting poison.
It won't kill you in a short period of time, but there's no antidote either, which shows how powerful the person who poisoned you is.
We have been working to solve this problem for several years.
Shangguan led us, and we ran wherever he pointed.
Three months ago, we went to Dian because the prince was poisoned there.
There, we visited folk doctors and collected thousands of medicinal herbs that we had never seen before."
When Xiao Yuehan heard the word "medicinal herbs", and there were thousands of them, his eyes lit up.
Master Ning did not allow her to interrupt and continued, "It is not hard for us to find medicinal herbs. No matter how hard or tiring it is, we can complete it.
But there is one ingredient in the medicine, which is women's blood and saliva, and we have no way to use it.
Because we can’t bring back all the women.”
Master Ning picked up the small plate of dessert and handed it to Xiao Yuehan. She took a piece of translucent yellow cake and put it into her mouth thoughtfully.
He also took a piece and took a bite.
He continued, "One day, we came to Yicheng, and a local doctor had heard of using women's blood and saliva to detoxify.
But blood and saliva cannot coagulate in cold water and must disperse. Result. "
He looked at Xiao Yuehan, his face showing his joy, "It really is like searching for something in vain, but it turns out it's easy to find.
When we came back this time, the prince had you. It can be seen that your arrival made the prince very happy.
Although the time was not long, we saw a prince who was different from before.
He has changed a lot both in his mental outlook and temperament.
That evening, he told us that Princess, you actually have the same life experience as the prince.
Thank you, Princess." He was moved.
His deep pupils glowed with a leisurely light.
He continued, “Before, the prince would have an attack of poison once a month, but this time, it was three months later that he had another attack of poison.
And I heard that the expected day for the princess to be poisoned has not yet arrived.
Moreover, the pain when the poison took effect would usually last for three days and three nights, but this time it only lasted for two hours.
We know that this is all thanks to you, and we are all very grateful to you.”
The mist in Xiao Yuehan's eyes had dissipated.
She said softly, "I also want to thank you, Shangguan, your three good friends, Ling'er, Qiao'er, Yechun, Yexia and everyone else in the palace."
Her heart was filled with warmth at this moment. Was she thanking them for treating Zi Sangyu as her own husband?
She smiled. It didn't matter anymore. What mattered was that everyone in the mansion was united in purpose. She was very moved.
She turned her gaze towards Master Ning and asked, "You just said that you brought back thousands of herbs?"
"Yes." Mr. Ning's eyes seemed to be filled with sparks.
"I need a combination of herbs to detoxify."
Master Ning was disappointed: "Shangguan has already checked it out, and only a few herbs can be used."
Xiao Yuehan stood up, still in high spirits: "The medicines we prepared are different.
He doesn’t need it, maybe that’s what I want.”
Young Master Ning became excited, and the two of them rushed to the pharmacy in the mansion.
