Except for being scolded by his father when he was a child, no one dared to scold Xiao Mubei over the years. On the one hand, it was because of his status, and on the other hand, it was naturally because he was also very outstanding. Now, during these days of recuperation, he was constantly scolded by Chu Yunxi. For him, it was a very fresh feeling.

Baiyu Heimu gradually got used to Chu Yunxi's scolding of Xiao Mubei. He was very worried at first, but as it happened more and more often, Xiao Mubei never got angry, so he stopped worrying.

At this moment, Xiao Mubei also said in a good temper: "Miss Yunxi's teaching is correct, but you all go out, I'm worried that I won't be able to sleep."

Chu Yunxi thought about the situation tonight. She probably wouldn't be able to sleep if she were in his place, so she let it go. "I'll give you the antidote tonight, considering you're excused."

She handed the bottle over and said, "After you take the antidote, it will take about twelve hours to completely remove the poison from your body, so if you want to stand up, you may need to wait another day."

Xiao Mubei nodded, "Anyway, we've already waited for so long, I don't mind waiting one more day."

Xiao Mubei took the antidote, and Chu Yunxi said again: "Go to sleep quickly."

Xiao Mubei laughed. This doctor was too strict, even stricter than Doctor Lu. When he was in the military camp, getting injured was a common occurrence, and no military doctor had ever dared to speak to him in this tone.

Perhaps, she could have a greater opportunity.

Xiao Mubei secretly made a decision in his heart. No matter whether the Chu Yunxi in front of him was the original Chu Yunxi, he was sure that this person was what he needed. She had many secrets, but as long as he could use them, who knows if these secrets would not be a greater help?

Chu Yunxi didn't know that she was being thought of. She had a good sleep. It was the first time she slept until noon since she came here, and no one disturbed her.

When she came out yawning, Hongyu came up to her and said, "Young lady, you are awake. You must be hungry. Come and wash up and eat."

Chu Yunxi felt a little embarrassed. After all, this was in someone else's house, and it didn't seem right to sleep until noon. However, she loved sleeping in in her previous life, and waking up early made her more sad than killing her.

"Hongyu, next time you can wake me up earlier."

Hongyu said as she placed the food on the table: "Before leaving, the prince told us not to disturb the young lady, and told her to sleep as long as she wanted."

Xiao Mubei is so nice? Chu Yunxi intuitively felt that he had some conspiracy.

"Where did the prince go?" Chu Yunxi picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and put it in her mouth, talking incoherently. If nothing else, the cooking skills of the chef in this palace were really good.

"The prince entered the palace early in the morning." Hongyu replied from the side.

Chu Yunxi has been here for these days, but she is still not used to having someone standing by to serve her when she eats. She spat out the bone in her mouth and pointed to the seat opposite her, "Hongyu, sit down and eat with us. I can't eat if you stand."

She had invited Hongyu several times, but she refused to sit down every time, saying that there was a difference between the superior and the inferior, and that as a servant she could not sit and eat with her master.

If things get urgent, she will go out and wait.

It was the same today. When Hongyu was about to leave, Chu Yunxi stood up, pulled her and sat her down opposite him, saying, "It's shameful to waste food. I can't finish all the food. If you eat with me, we can waste less. If you don't eat, I'll be angry."

As she said this, she pouted her lips, looking as if to say, "If you don't eat it, I won't eat it either."

Hongyu had no choice but to pick up the chopsticks and said, "Then Hongyu thanks the young lady for the reward."

Chu Yunxi was happy then. "What reward is there? Food tastes better when there are more people. These ribs are good. Come and try them."

As he said that, he picked up a piece of pork ribs for Hongyu. Hongyu was flattered and declined again.

Xiao Mubei entered the palace and did not come back until the moon was up on the branches. He still could not walk that day, so Bai Yu pushed him into the palace. When he came back, Chu Yunxi was already waiting in the room.

"My Lord, do you feel your legs regaining strength?"

Xiao Mubei shook his head, "I still don't feel anything, could the antidote be fake?"

"Impossible, your poison has been removed. I can smell it." Chu Yunxi frowned and squatted down to check his legs.

"Have you felt any discomfort these days?"

Xiao Mubei pursed his lips, "The Qi is not flowing smoothly."

True Qi? Chu Yunxi was a little stunned. She had touched upon a blind spot in her knowledge. What on earth was the true Qi of the ancients?

But regardless of where the true energy came from, Xiao Mubei's words gave her some ideas. Chu Yunxi took out silver needles and inserted them into several major acupuncture points on Xiao Mubei's legs to clear the meridians.

After a while, beads of sweat appeared on Chu Yunxi's forehead. Xiao Mubei looked at her long eyelashes trembling, casting a circle of shadow on her eyelids. She looked focused, with a layer of fine sweat beads on her forehead. He couldn't help but take out a handkerchief and wipe the sweat off her forehead.

After wiping it, he realized what he had done and felt a little embarrassed. Why did he end up wiping her sweat?

But Chu Yunxi didn't even bother to look up, nor did she feel anything. It was normal to have an assistant wiping the sweat beside her during previous surgeries. She simply said, "Thank you," and then continued to concentrate on her work.

Xiao Mubei calmed himself down, put the handkerchief away as if nothing had happened, and looked up. Bai Yu had gone out without him noticing.

"Try lifting your legs again." Chu Yunxi's voice rang out, and Xiao Mubei came back to his senses. He tried to lift his legs, and then he was pleasantly surprised to find that the strength in his legs was slowly returning.

"Much better." Chu Yunxi smiled relaxedly. "The meridians are blocked. It should be because you circulated your Qi when the poison in your body was not yet resolved, so the Qi blocked the meridians and caused you to lose sensation in your legs. Now I have cleared all your meridians. You can try circulating your Qi again."

Xiao Mubei tried to circulate his Qi throughout his body, and it was indeed unobstructed. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yunxi, you are really amazing."

"It's nothing." Chu Yunxi solved a problem and was in a good mood. She became humble in a rare way.

Xiao Mubei tried to stand up, and Chu Yunxi hurriedly supported him and said, "You haven't walked for too long. Don't worry, slowly adapt. Rest well tonight and practice again tomorrow."

"Okay." Xiao Mubei held Chu Yunxi's hand and walked to the bedside and sat down. "Today I have already made an agreement with my father that I will marry you as the Princess of Dingbei in a month. However, my father said that you are under arrest and cannot make a big fuss. Only a sedan chair can be carried to the Dingbei Palace. It can only be said to the outside world that I am marrying a concubine. Are you willing?"

In a royal palace, there can be many concubines, but there is only one principal wife.
