When she was a child, Huaxu was very lively. She would share any food with her and play with her. But as she got older, her memory became worse and she came to see her less and less often.

"Seventh sister..." She touched the right side of her neck and fell into memories.

"It's okay if you don't remember." She reached into her sleeves, took out a few candies, tore open the packaging, and handed them to her, "Here you go!"

Huatui looked at the round thing in front of him and didn't dare to reach out.

Finally, I saw her throw it into my mouth before I bravely took it, "Mm, so sweet."

"Sweet, all for you!"

Huatsu took them all with a smile, "Thank you...uh..."

In the blink of an eye, she forgot again.

"Seventh sister!" Hua Jianli reminded.

"Thank you, Seventh Sister!"

Hua Jianli took her hand and checked her pulse out of habit. The next moment, she frowned. Sure enough, there was something fishy going on! Her tendons and veins were blocked in many places, and the blood circulation was slow.

"Seventh sister, Seventh sister!" Hua Xu broke free from her grip, not understanding why she was holding on to her hand. Did she take too much candy? Hua Jianli let go of her hand, "Xu'er, do you remember what you ate today?"

She shook her head, not knowing.

"Do you remember the way back to your room?"

She still shook her head.

"Do you remember your name?"

"My name is Huaxu!" This time she answered quickly.

"How old is this year?"

"Hmm..." She thought for a long time with her eyes wide open, and finally shook her head, "I forgot!"

Her eyes were clear and her language expression was fine. She just said she forgot and did not say a random number, which means that her intelligence was still there, but her memory was wrong.

As long as it is not Alzheimer's disease, she still has a way to cure it.

"Miss Eight, Miss Eight, I have been looking for you for a long time. I found you here. Come back with me. It is time to take medicine!"

At this time, a middle-aged woman ran over in a hurry. Seeing Hua Jianli was there too, she didn't say anything else. She picked up the tidbits and was about to leave.

Huaxu grabbed Hua Jianli's arm at the first moment.

"No, I don't want to take bitter medicine!" She remembered the taste of the medicine, she didn't like it, she liked the sweet taste in her mouth.

"No, you must take the medicine!" The old woman didn't care how she struggled, this was a death order from the Fourth Aunt.

Hua Xu looked at Hua Jianli, and the pleading look in her eyes softened Hua Jianli's heart, "Madam Zhang, since she doesn't want to take the medicine, then forget it this time!"

After all, these medicines are useless.

"Miss Seven, this matter is not your turn to take care of. If you have the time, take care of yourself first!" She exerted force with her hands, and the tidbits were pulled, causing pain, and she cried out.

Hua Jianli also grabbed Hua Xu's other hand...

"Madam Zhang, although I am not favored in the Prime Minister's Mansion and even bullied by everyone, I am still the legitimate daughter of the mansion and the future consort of the Fourth Prince, who was married to him by the late emperor. Tell me, if the emperor knew that someone was disrespectful to me, what punishment do you think you would get?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Nanny Zhang subconsciously let go of her hand, and Hua Xu, due to inertia, pounced on Hua Jianli, and both of them almost fell down.

"Miss Seven, are you threatening me?"

Hua Jianli stood up straight, "I'm threatening you, go out and find out what incredible things I did in the mansion today?"

What happened today must have spread throughout the Prime Minister's Mansion. There should be everyone who doesn't know that she went crazy and beat up a group of servants in the kitchen.

Nanny Zhang naturally knew about this as well. She also heard that Seventh Miss slapped Aunt Wang's corpse a hundred times, but was still not satisfied, so she killed her in front of everyone.

Her information was naturally not first-hand. By the time the rumor reached her ears, it had already changed into several versions.

"This... this is none of my business." Nanny Zhang was so frightened that she was incoherent and knelt down with a thud. "This... this is what Fourth Aunt wanted. Miss Eighth has to take medicine every day."

"This old servant is also doing this for the good of Miss Eight. She is ill, Miss Seven, you know that."

Hua Jianli is most annoyed by the servility of these people. They kneel down as soon as they make a mistake. They are not dead, so they don’t need to be worshipped every day.

"Get up first. I won't make things difficult for you. Go back and tell Fourth Aunt that Xu'er will be with me for the time being. I will have someone treat her illness."

"No, Miss Seven!" Aunt Zhang seemed frightened and hugged Hua Jianli's legs. "Fourth Aunt will not agree."

Hua Jianli frowned, "Why? I won't lead her astray!"

"Seventh Miss, I cannot make the decision on this matter. You should go and talk to Fourth Aunt in person!" pleaded Nanny Zhang.

Hua Jianli thought about it and said, "Okay!"

The fourth concubine was a pure-hearted woman, in her middle age, and she stayed in her room all day, keeping the Buddha company.

At this moment, she was sitting cross-legged on a cushion, wearing a coarse linen dress, with all her hair tied up in a hat, like a nun practicing Buddhism with her hair untied.

Time has left no trace on her face, and she doesn't look like a married woman at all.

"Fourth Aunt!" Hua Jianli bowed slightly and gave her respect for the sake of the behind-the-scenes footage.

"It turns out that Xiao Qi is here!" The fourth concubine sat upright in the meditation room, her voice gentle, like a spring, "Please sit wherever you like."

When they were young, Hua Xu and Hua Jianli had a special relationship, and she casually called her Xiao Qi.

"Okay." Hua Jianli didn't hesitate and just sat down on the cushion on the ground.

Huatiao sat next to her. In her mind, this sister with cat whiskers on her face could be trusted.

The fourth aunt looked at the tidbits and said, "Xu'er, it's time for you to take your medicine!"

This ordinary sentence sounded like thunder to Huaxu's ears.

"No, no! I don't want to eat it!" Huaxu was so scared when he saw the bowl of black stuff on the coffee table that he hugged Hua Jianli's hand tightly, as if she was his savior.

This is the most profound and terrifying thing in my memory.

"Eighth Miss, be obedient and drink it!" Nanny Zhang spoke gently, but her tone did not allow her to refuse.

The medicine bowl was brought to Huaxu, and the smell drifted into Huajian's nostrils with the air.

She paused, this smell...

"I don't want to drink, I don't want to drink." Huaxu buried his head in Hua Jianli's hair, showing great resistance.

Hua Jianli reached out and took the medicine bowl from Aunt Zhang, "Let me try?"

Nanny Zhang did not suspect anything and handed the bowl of medicine to Hua Jianli.

Hua Jianli smelled it and frowned. There was no mistake. This was the same smell as the soup that the Queen Mother had someone send her last time in the palace. It was a medicine that could cause dementia and memory loss.

No wonder Xuer’s memory is getting worse and worse, no wonder she is becoming more and more like a fool.

But, does Fourth Aunt know about this? Or was this her idea?

Queen, Fourth Aunt...

What is the connection between them?

Why was Xuer targeted by them?

"Xiao Qi, what's wrong with you?" asked the Fourth Aunt. Seeing her serious expression, did she guess something?

This Hua Jianli is different from the silly look he used to have.

She was still the same person, but her eyes were much smarter and wiser. Could it be...
