Huo Beixuan dragged his wounded body, with heavy and slow steps, moving towards Shuang'er's house step by step. All the way, he was thinking about his current predicament, his eyes occasionally falling on the surrounding scenery, but he seemed absent-minded.

Finally, he came to Shuang'er's house, stopped and stared, thinking in his heart, if he really has nowhere to go, he should sell this house! Bring Shuang'er to live in the Huo family. Anyway, Ning Xue already knows about Shuang'er's existence, so there is no need to hide it.

However, this house is so shabby that it is probably not worth much money, and he doesn't know if it can offset the principal owed. Huo Beixuan was full of worries, sighed deeply, and slowly pushed open the shaky and damaged door.

Inside the house, Shuang'er had just finished cooking when she heard the door open. She turned around and saw Huo Beixuan covered in wounds. She was immediately frightened and screamed, "Brother Huo, what happened to you?" As she said that, she hurried over to help Huo Beixuan sit down. However, Huo Beixuan was in so much pain that he couldn't sit down peacefully.

Shuang'er frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, she said, "Brother Huo, you eat first. I'll go buy some herbs for treating injuries and relieving pain. Although these herbs are cheap, they should help your injuries. You can't keep dragging it on like this, or your body will collapse."

Shuang'er's words were full of concern, and she hurried out with the basket.

Shuang'er walked to the big tree at the corner of the alley and looked around carefully. After making sure that there was no one around, she opened the basket, revealing a short shovel and a bulging purse.

Shuang'er squatted down and dug a hole of moderate size, then began to count the silver in the purse. This silver was the money Huo Beixuan gave her for her daily use, which she had quietly saved bit by bit.

"Brother Huo, if you can't do it, I'm afraid I'll have to find another way out. In fact, I still like you very much! It's just that you are too disappointing! Alas!"

Shuang'er sighed softly, with a trace of helplessness and worry in her eyes. She had just seen that the jade pendant that Huo Beixuan usually wore and the crown jade that she had sewed on his hat were gone. His entire outfit was extremely simple.

Shuang'er buried the money, then got up and went to buy herbs with the basket.

Not long after, Shuang'er came back after buying herbs and immediately started to decoct medicine for Huo Beixuan.

After the medicine was boiled, she hurriedly handed it to Huo Beixuan for him to take.

The magical thing is that as soon as Huo Beixuan drank the medicine, he felt the pain in his body disappear instantly and his physical strength gradually recovered.

He was surprised and delighted, and couldn't help asking, "Shuang'er, where did you buy this herb? It's so effective."

Shuang'er smiled and replied, "Is the effect really that good? I thought the old man was just bragging! He said it was some kind of ancestral recipe that worked as soon as you drank it, and it was cheap, so I bought it with the mentality of giving it a try!"

At this moment, Huo Beixuan felt extremely relaxed, the pain was gone, and even food tasted especially good. He looked up at Shuang'er under the light. Her peach-like face was even more beautiful and charming than usual under the dim light.

Huo Beixuan couldn't help but feel lustful and threw Shuang'er to the ground without caring about the injuries on his body.

At the same time, in Ning Xue's house, Xiaoying was respectfully reporting to Ning Xue: "Miss, I saw with my own eyes that woman bought the medicine and boiled it for Huo Beixuan to drink."

After hearing this, Ning Xue's eyes were full of pride, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised: "Okay, very good, let Huo Beixuan drink the slow-acting poison that bitch cooked by herself, and let him also taste the pain of being poisoned by the person he loves!"

Xiaoying looked puzzled and said, "Miss, the poison of Wushisan is not very strong!"

Ning Xue snorted coldly and said, "The poison of Wushisan is not strong. I didn't intend to kill him. What I want is for him to become addicted gradually, slowly lose himself, and finally go to his own death!"

At this point, Ning Xue's face showed a sinister smile: "Even if Huo Beixuan dies, he will end up in disgrace, and I will only get everyone's sympathy and support!"

"Xiaoying." Ning Xue lowered her voice.

Xiaoying hurried closer, and Ning Xue whispered in her ear. Xiaoying listened and nodded in response.

"Miss, I'll do it right away!" After saying that, Xiaoying turned around and hurried away to carry out the task assigned by Ning Xue.

After Sakura leaves, Anko walks in, looking slightly uneasy.

"What's wrong with you? What happened?"

Ning Xue is no longer the simple girl who only thinks about Huo Beixuan. She can tell at a glance that Hongdou is worried.

Hongdou knelt down and said, "Miss, I have informed Madam that you were poisoned."

"I'm sorry, miss, I didn't get your permission..."

Ning Xue did not blame Hong Dou. After all, Hong Dou was thinking about her. "Does mother have any explanation?"

"Madam said that she has sent someone to the palace to inform the Imperial Concubine. The imperial physician will come to the mansion in two days. I want you to go back and see the imperial physician!"

Ning Xue lowered her head in thought, "In two days?"

Well, when she returns home in two days, she will have to think about how to tell her father that Huo Beixuan is not worthy of support and will soon become infamous, so she needs to let her father get away as soon as possible!

"Okay! I'll go back in two days!"

The day after Huo Beixuan was beaten, Yuan Yuan came to look for Yun Shang, but Shangguan Haoyu happened to be away.

"Princess, are you free today?"

Yun Shang was full of doubts. Why did Yuan Yuan come to see her?

"What does Aunt Yuan want?" Could it be that she is asked to manage the palace? She doesn't want to!

"If you have nothing else to do, follow me into the palace and pay my respects to the Queen!"

Yuan Yuan smiled slightly, but her tone was unyielding.

Yun Chang tried to protest, "Can I not go?"

Didn’t the emperor say that she could decide whether to enter the palace and pay respects or not?

Yuan Yuan smiled and said, "Princess, I'll be waiting for you outside. It's better to hurry up. Let's go earlier and come back earlier!"

Yun Shang curled her lips. Oh! Okay!

Forget it! Just go! After all, after marriage, it is not appropriate to not even visit the palace to pay respects once.

Yunchang returned to her room and changed into a more elegant and dignified outfit. Thinking that Concubine Ning might take the opportunity to cause trouble when she entered the palace, she tied the sachet that Liu Meir had given her last time around her waist, and put the pearl flower that Princess Shangguan had given her for self-defense on her head.

After thinking about it for a while, she still felt something was wrong, so she called Liu Meir to go with her. Yun Shang felt relieved, "Let's go!"

There is no way! Entering the palace is like going to a Hongmen Banquet. Obviously, she is just a leisurely prince's consort!

The two of them took a sedan chair and arrived at the palace gate. Then Liu Meir was stopped outside the palace and was told that she was not a concubine and was not allowed to bring maids into the palace.

The gatekeeper also said frankly that if they needed service, the many palace maids in the palace could be used at will.

Yun Shang had no choice but to let Liu Meir wait outside the palace while she and Yuan Yuan headed towards the Queen's bedroom.
