A group of palace maids and maids surrounded Lu Meiyi and the little princess and walked in front of Nangong Qinghe and Zhang Wanwan.

Lu Meiyi took the little princess from the nurse's arms and bowed: "Chang Le pays respects to His Majesty and the Queen!"

Nangong Qinghe was very pleased: "Stand up!"

"Bring Chang Le here." When he saw his beloved little daughter, his brows relaxed.

Lu Meiyi smiled and handed the little princess to Nangong Qinghe's arms. He held the baby skillfully, patted her gently, and said with a smile: "Chang Le is awake? Is he happy to see his father?"

The little princess opened her big round eyes and spit a bubble of saliva at him, which made Nangong Qinghe's heart melt with joy.

Everyone was secretly surprised. Since ancient times, there has been a habit of "a gentleman holding his grandchildren but not his sons". A father is often a person who plays the dual role of "kind father and strict teacher". He must not only set an example himself, but also be "warm in heart but cold in face" and maintain a serious, solemn and steady image in front of his children.

The emperor, in particular, must follow the ancient teachings.

It would have been fine if it was just Duke Dingguo. The couple never cared what others thought. They personally carried the twins, a boy and a girl, wherever they went and never asked anyone else to do it for them.

Now even the emperor disregards the ancient teachings and cannot let go of the little princess and treats her like a treasure, which shows how much he loves his only daughter.

Everyone congratulated them one after another, saying things like "the bright pearl is shining", "the jade disk is full of brilliance", "the auspiciousness of the unicorn's feet", "the birth of a phoenix chick"... compliments were thrown out without asking for anything in return, and Nangong Qinghe and Lu Meiyi were both overjoyed when they heard it.

After the full moon banquet, Jiang Li went to visit Cui Jin who was still in confinement, played with the little prince in the cradle, and then left the palace with Aunt Lian.

Xie Changan met them outside the palace. After they got on the carriage, Xie Changan said sourly, "I heard that the little princess looks a bit like you?"

His own daughter doesn't look like his wife, but other people's daughters look like his wife. How can he not be envious and jealous?

If the little cat slave wasn't pregnant, I'm afraid a lot of unbearable rumors would have been spread!

Jiang Li said angrily: "Why are you jealous? After all, isn't it your own fault?"

Can it be blamed on her for never leaving him and looking just like him?

Xie Changan gently stroked her belly and said softly, "Daddy's carefree and worry-free life must look like mother!"

He now wished he could use his spiritual sense to watch over the two children every day, but unfortunately the fetuses were still small, only two months old, the size of a broad bean, and it was impossible to even tell the gender, let alone their appearance.

Jiang Li didn't want to pay attention to him and leaned lazily on the carriage seat.

"When will Brother Shen's baby Man be one month old?" She yawned.

She was tired of attending banquets such as the third-day-birth banquets and the full-month banquets one after another.

"After the little prince's full moon banquet, it will be Man Ge'er's turn."

Jiang Li suddenly remembered something: "Oh, right, let's go to the Rui'an Earl's Mansion!"

"But is there something wrong?" Xie Changan asked.

"Brother Shen has finished his maternity leave, it's time to get back to work!"

Before Cui Ai gave birth, Shen Muchun asked for leave to stay at home, using the excuse of accompanying her during the birthing process.

Now Man Ge'er is almost a month old, but he still stays at home, guarding his wife and children every day. She wants to find him and send him back to work at Longmen Medical Bureau!

Xie Changan laughed, and asked his personal guards to send Aunt Lian back to the palace, and asked the coachman to turn the horses around and go straight to the Rui'an Earl's Mansion.

When Shen Muchun heard that Jiang Li and the other had arrived, he came out holding Man Ge'er.

"Oh, what wind brings our prince and duke here?"

Shen Muchun was full of joy as he held Man Ge'er in his arms and showed him his treasure. "Look at my Man Ge'er. Has he grown up a lot?"

Jiang Li looked at the baby in the cradle carefully. Man Ge'er is indeed a handsome boy. He has combined the advantages of both his parents. He has a full forehead, beautiful eyebrows, and a high nose bridge. He will definitely be a handsome man in the future.

"Now that you've grown up, you look like both Brother Shen and sister-in-law." Jiang Li said with a smile, "When preparing for the full moon banquet, if you are short of manpower in your house, you can ask Aunt Lian to help you."

"That's great!" Shen Muchun was overjoyed. Without any elders to take care of the family, there were indeed many things he didn't know where to start.

Jiang Li's face turned serious: "With Aunt Lian's help, Brother Shen should also take his leave. Sister-in-law needs to stay in confinement after childbirth, do you also want to stay in confinement after childbirth?"

Shen Muchun's face fell: "Okay, I will go to the yamen tomorrow."

"We are here today to discuss an important matter with Brother Shen."

Shen Muchun had no choice but to let the wet nurse take Manger back to the inner courtyard and bring Jiang Li and Xie Changan to the study to serve tea.

"What's the matter?"

Jiang Li asked, "How have you studied the strange poison that the Queen Mother and the Duke of Zhenguo have been poisoned with?"

Shen Muchun frowned: "I have no idea."

"What if it's a poison that targets the soul?"

Shen Muchun was shocked: "How can a soul be poisoned?"

"Why not?" Jiang Li's eyes flickered. "The body and the soul are two different things. If the body can be poisoned, why can't the soul be poisoned?"

Shen Muchun was speechless. Having experienced ghost sightings before, he had to admit that Jiang Li was right.

Xie Changan said in a deep voice: "We have obtained a top-secret information. This poison is called 'Soul Poison' and is the worst of all poisons."

"It is said that the soul poison is both the mirror monster's trump card and his weak spot!" Jiang Li frowned slightly.

"So, Brother Shen, please do your best!"

Shen Muchun frowned tightly. A poison targeting the soul?

This... should be asked to the ghost doctor in the underworld. How can he, a living person, know how to cure the poison of the soul?

"No wonder there is no sign of poisoning on the Empress Dowager and the Duke of Zhenguo!"

It turned out that the soul was poisoned!

Therefore, their vitality will be lost continuously!

Soul poisoning is like a hole in the three souls and seven spirits, so the body's vitality is constantly being drained to fill this bottomless pit!

Xie Changan asked Jiang Li through the heart contract: "In the world of cultivation, when the soul is poisoned, what method is generally used to detoxify it?"

Jiang Li frowned and said, "There are many ways to cure this soul poison in the upper realm."

"The most direct way, of course, is to use the divine consciousness to peel it off, but it requires a Nascent Soul power like my master to do it. The process is bound to be extremely painful and not something that a mortal can endure."

Xie Changan asked: "Is there any other way?"

"You can look for natural treasures that have the power to purify souls, such as Millennium Spirit Jade and Soul Purifying Grass. These spiritual objects have pure energy, and by refining and absorbing it, you can gradually purify the soul infected by this poison."

“Spiritual pills like the Nine Revolutions Soul Restoring Pill and the Soul Condensing Pill can also repair damaged souls and expel soul poison.”

"Furthermore, you can also make a soul contract with a powerful soul or divine beast and use their power to resist and eliminate soul poison."

"There are also formations and spells such as the Soul Purification Formation and the Nine-Turn Soul Purification Technique, which can also purify the soul and gradually force out the soul poison."

"At worst, you can break through the realm, and your soul will be tempered and strengthened, thus getting rid of the erosion of soul poison."
