Ever since Magistrate Ma opened the court to try those thugs, Qiongzhou City soon became bustling with new life, and almost no one mentioned the previous rumors anymore.

Recently, the most talked about thing in Qiongzhou City is the towering lighthouse built on the coast. When the people first saw the army building a lighthouse on the seashore, they just thought that the army was going to build a sentry tower.

It was not until I saw the lighthouse in front of me that I learned that it was built by the local officials for the fishermen who went out to sea to fish because the local officials reported that the fishermen had lost their way at sea. And there are not only lighthouses in various directions of Qiongzhou Island, but also in Panyu City, hoping to guide the fishermen who go out to sea to fish home.

Many veteran fishermen kowtowed and knelt towards the lighthouse, thanking the emperor for his understanding of the fishermen's difficulties.

……

"Miss, you are back. Madam asks you to go to the flower hall. Someone is coming from Lingnan Palace."

Su Weixi had just returned from inspecting the workshop when he saw the housekeeper hurriedly getting ready to go out. When he heard what the housekeeper said, he knew that he was probably planning to go out to look for him and just happened to run into him coming back.

"Who's coming?"

"He is the housekeeper of the palace."

When Su Weixi arrived at the living room, he found that Su Ma looked worried and was asking about the housekeeper Qing'er's recent situation.

Su Weixi also understood the situation after hearing it. It turned out that Qing'er had eczema, but for some reason, the imperial physician who the Empress Dowager had specially sent to Lingnan to follow Qing'er could not cure it. She also went to find many doctors outside, but they could not help either.

When other people get eczema, they just need to take a few doses of medicine and apply some ointment, but Qing'er keeps getting the disease again and again.

It was Qing'er who mentioned that Su Ma also knew medicine, so she sent the housekeeper to Qiongzhou Island to invite Su Ma to the palace. Originally, Qing'er wanted to come directly to Qiongzhou Island, but the imperial physician said that the humidity on the ship was heavy and might aggravate the condition, so he did not recommend Qing'er to come to the island by herself.

"Madam, there is really no other way. I have to trouble you to accompany me to the palace to see the prince." The butler knew the relationship between the Su family and Qing'er. He did not have the arrogance of a butler in the palace and his attitude was very humble.

"It's okay. I'm also very worried about the prince being unwell. Please wait for a moment. I'll pack my things and leave in half an hour."

"Thank you ma'am."

Then the palace steward followed Steward Sun downstairs to have tea.

"Mom, I'll go with you."

"That's good. The kid is close to you. He's only in his teens, living alone without any family around him. It would be better if he met someone familiar."

"Well, I'll go ask Yingying if she wants to go."

"Look at me, I actually forgot about this. Yingying is his cousin."

After the discussion, Su Weixi went to find Wang Yingying and asked her if she wanted to go with him.

Su Ma asked Nanny to call Xu Wanying to come and explain the household affairs. The household affairs were now handed over to Xu Wanying, so there was nothing to explain too much about it, and the main thing was to explain An An Ning Ning's affairs.

Since we are not going to have fun this time, we will not bring the two little ones with us. Our studies are our priority.

Half an hour later, Su Ma took Su Weixi and Wang Yingying and followed the palace housekeeper to the dock to take a boat. This boat belonged to the palace, and as they were in a hurry, the speed was much faster than usual.

……

"I don't want to take the medicine. Get out. Get out."

Su Weixi and the other two followed the butler to the palace and went straight to the main courtyard where Qing'er lived. As soon as they entered the courtyard, they heard the sound of Qing'er smashing medicine bowls.

"Madam, please forgive me, Miss. The prince has been feeling unwell recently and is in a bad mood." The butler said awkwardly.

"No problem, go in and report it."

After all, Qing'er was no longer a child, but a teenager of eleven or twelve years old. It was not convenient for Su Ma and the other two female relatives to go in directly, so they waited for the housekeeper to inform him first.

After a while, the butler came out and invited the three people in.

Maybe it was because her eczema hadn't gotten better, Qing'er was itchy all over, and she couldn't rest well, so she looked much more haggard. As soon as she saw Su Weixi and the other two, she started complaining.

"Aunt, sister, cousin, you are here." Her tone was full of grievance.

"Greetings, Your Majesty." The three of them bowed to Qing'er.

"Hey, we are all family, no need to be so polite."

"My Lord, have you forgotten what we talked about last time?"

"Remember, remember, etiquette cannot be abolished."

There was no more pleasantries. It was more important to treat him at the moment. After Su Ma felt Qing'er's pulse, she looked at the prescriptions written by the imperial physician and the doctor outside.

"Continue to boil medicine for the prince according to the imperial physician's prescription, but replace the ointment he applies with the one I brought." Su Ma instructed the housekeeper.

"Please go and boil the medicine quickly. I am almost dying of itching."

"Yes, yes, I will go and boil the medicine for His Majesty myself." The housekeeper immediately went out to boil the medicine for Qing'er.

"Then we'll go out first. Let the servant help you apply the ointment." Su Ma pointed at the ointment on the table. This ointment was made by Su Ma herself, and a drop of spiritual spring water was added to it.

"Okay, aunt and sister, you guys go out and have a rest first."

.......

"Wow, Auntie, you have medical skills? I didn't know that."

"I studied with a traveling doctor for a while in the early years. Later, when our Zizhao was recuperating in our valley, Divine Doctor Lin was there too, and I studied with him for a while."

"Then aunt, will you go back to that valley? Can I visit you?" Wang Yingying had already found out how the Su family and her cousins ​​knew each other. She also heard An An and Ning Ning talk about life in the valley and was very envious of it.

"I'll go back and take a look when I have time. If you want to go, we can go together."

Not long after the three of them arrived, a servant invited them to the dining room for dinner.

At the dinner table, there is no strict rule of not talking while eating or sleeping.

Qing'er kept crying about how miserable his life was these days. Not only did he not have any close friends, but he was also suffering from his illness.

At this time, Wang Yingying deliberately talked about their previous trip to Coconut Island, which made Qing'er so angry that she ate half a bowl less of rice.

It was Su Weixi who promised that when he recovered from his illness and had time to go to Qiongzhou Island, she would definitely take him to Coconut Island for a trip. Only then did Qing'er feel much better.

There were no female members of the royal family in the palace. After dinner, the three of them did not agree to Qing'er's request to stay overnight, but went to live in the house that the Su family had bought before. When they just got off the boat, Su's mother had arranged for the nanny who came with them to find someone to clean the house.

The three of them stayed in Panyu City for a total of ten days, and went to Lingnan Palace every day to check on Qing'er's recovery. In fact, he was almost recovered on the fifth day, but he always relapsed before, so they stayed for a few more days to observe whether he would relapse again.

Fortunately, the ointment prepared by Su Ma was very effective, and Qing'er did not have a relapse this time.

Su Weixi and the other two boarded the boat back to Qiongzhou Island under Qing'er's reluctant gaze.

Qing'er originally wanted to go with them, but the housekeeper said that there were several banquets in Fanyu City that required him to attend, so he gave up the idea.
