Crossing the World: This Prince is a Little Sweet

"I guess so. If you like me, I can praise you a little more."

Chu Xi laughed and felt that Huoyun Bracelet had the mentality of a child and couldn't help but praise him.

"Then Master, in your heart, who is more important, the prince or the Fire Cloud Bracelet?"

“You must be important.”

"Master, you haven't even thought about it seriously, and you answered so quickly."

The Fire Cloud Bracelet spoke in dissatisfaction.

"Do I need to think about this? You and Saint Gu are both my treasures. You have an irreplaceable place in my heart."

"What about the prince and Nangong Yu?"

"Don't mind them, they are just visitors to my place."

Chu Xi raised his eyebrows and said indifferently.

"Master, you talking like this makes me think you are a scumbag?"

"Scum, what scum?"

"The scum of a scumbag"

"How could I? I love you so much that the heavens and the earth can bear witness to it, and the sun and the moon can testify to it."

"Okay, Master, please stop talking. I feel like vomiting..."

Huoyun Bracelet had lived in modern times after all, and Chu Xi had watched a lot of soap operas on TV. What she said was exactly the same as the lines used by the scumbags on TV to express their loyalty.

"Fire Cloud Bracelet, you're going too far. You were the one who asked me first, and my answer made you want to vomit... Do you deserve a beating?"

Chu Xi was annoyed that the bracelet could actually play tricks on people.

"Hee hee hee……"

Chu Xi and Huoyun Bracelet chatted all the way, and the carriage soon arrived in front of the palace gate.

"Stop, what are you doing?"

The guards at the palace gate stopped Chu Xi's carriage.

Yanhuo jumped out of the car and showed his badge, and the guards immediately let him go.

Chu Xi lifted the carriage curtain and saw Yan Huo put away his badge. The guards also respectfully made way.

"Yanhuo, what did you show that guard?"

"Princess, this is the badge that the prince gave me."

"The prince's badge allows you to enter and leave the palace freely?"

"Sure. After all, I am the prince's man. Just ask the guard to register me."

"I see"

"Princess, the Queen's people are here."

Chu Xi raised his eyes and saw Nanny Li beside Empress Sun and a palace maid rushing over here.

"Miss Chu, the Queen has ordered this old servant to come and take you to the palace."

Nanny Li raised her eyes and looked at Chu Xi. She thought Chu Xi would be stuck at the palace gate and that was why she hurried here. She didn't expect that Chu Xi would actually have the ability to enter the palace. She couldn't help but look at her twice more.

"Then please lead the way, Madam."

"Miss Chu, this way please..."

Chu Xi got off the carriage and followed Nanny Li towards the Queen's bedroom.

Chu Xi followed Nanny Li for a long way and turned countless corners before arriving at the Queen's Fengyi Palace.

"Your Majesty, Miss Chu has been brought here and is waiting outside the door."

"Really? You're here so soon. Let her in."

"Yes"

As soon as Chu Xi entered the hall, she saw Queen Sun sitting in her seat, looking her up and down.

I don’t know if it was Chu Xi’s illusion, but I felt that the Queen Sun in front of me was different from the one I saw at the palace banquet.

"Your humble servant Chu Xi pays respect to Her Majesty the Queen. May Her Majesty live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years..."

There was silence in the hall.

Seeing that the Queen did not ask her to stand up, Chu Xi did not dare to act rashly and could only maintain the posture of saluting.

Just when Chu Xi felt his legs go numb, the Queen's voice came faintly from above his head:

"Miss Chu, please don't be polite. Get up quickly."

"Thank you, Queen Mother..."

Only then did Chu Xi dare to slowly stand up.

"Miss Chu, I heard that you saved my life the last time I was poisoned."

Empress Sun spoke in a tone that was somewhat indifferent and sharp.

"Your Majesty, it's just a coincidence."

"So, Miss Chu knows medical skills?"

"Not really. Your Majesty the Queen thinks too highly of me..."

"Oh...I misunderstood...what coincidence?"

Empress Sun looked at Chu Xi with sharp eyes, with an aura that could not be ignored, as if she was thinking about the truth in Chu Xi's words.

"Yes, the poison that the Queen was poisoned with that day happened to be the same as the poison that a kitten I raised before was poisoned with, so I dared to suggest that the imperial physician prescribe emetic drugs."

"So your little cat is fine after vomiting, too?"

"Yes, the kitten will be back to normal after two days of rest."

"Then how did you, little cat, get poisoned?"

"Your Majesty, it accidentally drank two sips of water containing oleander leaves, and soon after, it fell to the ground and vomited.

I was young at the time and I loved cats so much that I thought of inducing vomiting. I didn’t expect that I could save the kitten’s life. So when I saw that the queen was poisoned, I thought of this method…”

"Oh... is that really the case?"

"Back to the Queen, it's absolutely true."

"Then why did the palace servants say that you took my pulse and said that I was depressed and sick, which led to my disordered pulse?"

"Your Majesty, I am guilty. I deceived everyone. Please punish me..."

Chu Xi immediately knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty.

Empress Sun sat on the first seat and looked at Chu Xi leisurely.

"Then tell me what happened at that time. Where did your sin come from? Why did you deceive everyone?"

"Your Highness, I was thrown into the prison because I was afraid, so I pretended to be a doctor to deceive everyone."

"Chu Xi, you are really brave. You have fooled everyone."

Empress Sun sneered and looked at Chu Xi with some interest.

"This was not intentional, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me..."

"What are you afraid of? Stand up first... I didn't say I was going to punish you... Stand up and tell me why you dare to do that now. Tell me honestly that you don't know medical skills."

When Chu Xi stood up and heard the Queen's question, his legs weakened again and he could only lower his head and reply quickly.

"I saw that your Majesty's life was in danger, so I had no choice but to do it in order to save her.

After all, if I had talked about the kitten as I did just now, they would definitely accuse me of being offensive and bullying their superiors, and they would definitely not be willing to induce vomiting on Her Majesty.

I was afraid that if I delayed any further, the Majesty would miss the best opportunity for treatment, and the consequences would be disastrous. That’s why…”

"So you had the guts to... imitate a doctor and feel my pulse... and deceive everyone present... and make them believe that you really know medical skills?"

"Yes "

"Chu Xi, I find you are very smart... No wonder Shuo'er likes you."

"Your Majesty, the Queen, thank you for your praise..."

"Sit down and answer me... I think you were so presumptuous because you wanted to save me. I will not pursue this matter any further. But... don't do it again, or you will lose your head."

"Thank you, Queen, for your mercy. I will follow your instructions and will not commit the same mistake again."

At this moment, two young eunuchs brought a stool and placed it behind Chu Xi.

Chu Xi raised her head and took a quick look at Queen Sun. Seeing that Queen Sun looked normal and showed no signs of anger, she dared to sit down slowly.

"Chu Xi, you will be a 15-year-old girl in a while?"

"Replying to Her Majesty, it will be in three months."

"Time flies by so fast... When I reach the age of 15... I will marry Shuo'er."

Chu Xi looked up suddenly, not understanding what the Queen meant by this.

"Yes"

"Chu Xi... you still have to learn the proper etiquette when you marry into the royal family. The royal family is not as free and loose as your Prime Minister's Mansion, so etiquette is indispensable."

"Yes, I understand."

"Starting tomorrow, I will arrange for a nanny to come to your house and start teaching you basic etiquette."

"I will obey your orders and await your majesty's arrangements."

Chu Xi stood up and bowed to express his gratitude.

"Okay, let's stop here... I feel a little tired... You can leave now."

"Yes, I will retire."

As soon as Chu Xi left, Queen Sun's face immediately turned cold. She had carefully looked at Chu Xi's wrist several times, but she didn't see the Fire Cloud Bracelet at all.

She was wearing only a valuable jade bracelet, nothing else.

Empress Sun was very annoyed and angrily threw away the teacup in her hand. Could it be that the legendary Fire Cloud Bracelet was really just a legend?

After searching for so many years, there is still no clue.

Empress Sun felt unwilling.

As soon as Chu Xi stepped out of Fengyi Palace, the sound of the Fire Cloud Bracelet rang in Chu Xi's mind.

"Master, why did you tell the queen that you don't know medical skills?"

"The fewer people who know about the Fire Cloud Bracelet's medical skills, the better it will be for you. And from what we just talked about, it seems that the queen is not a pushover. To avoid unnecessary trouble, it's better to just say that you don't know medical skills."

Chu Xi followed the nanny out while explaining to the Fire Cloud Bracelet in his mind.
