Over here in Chuxiu Palace, after Elder Liu gave Shi Nanxi acupuncture, she finally woke up slowly.

"Second Princess, you're finally awake!" When Hongying saw Shi Nanxi finally open her eyes, she immediately rushed over excitedly.

Shi Nanxi's eyes were confused at first, but after a while she finally remembered what happened before she fell into a coma. She immediately clutched the corner of the quilt and looked around in panic and fear.

"Snake! Snake! There's a snake! Don't come over here, don't come over here!"

"Don't be afraid, Second Princess. The snake has been killed by Xiao Ruzi. It will never come out again. It will never come out again!"

Hongying quickly held the second princess's cold hand and burst into tears out of heartache.

When Nanny Yang beside the bed saw this scene, her heart tightened and she quickly looked at Old Liu beside her.

"Master Liu, please show it to Princess Shi Er again."

Old Liu nodded when he heard this. Seeing this, Hongying quickly wiped away her tears, moved away, and put a handkerchief in the second princess's hand.

Elder Liu concentrated on checking the patient's pulse, and when he put down his hand, Nanny Yang immediately asked:

"Master Liu, is Princess Shi Er all right?"

Old Liu glanced at Shi Nanxi, whose emotions had calmed down a little, but whose eyes still showed fear. He pondered for a moment and said:

"Princess Shi Er was overly frightened and her mind was shaken. I will prescribe a prescription to calm her mind."

After he finished speaking, he paused and added:

"Although the prescription for calming the nerves is effective, it is only aimed at alleviating the mental aspect. If there are relatives or close friends accompanying you, it may be able to soothe the shadow left on your soul."

Nanny Yang nodded after hearing this:

"Then please ask General Liu to write the prescription for calming the nerves. I will send someone to the Imperial Hospital to get the medicine. As for the soothing of the shadows you mentioned later."

She looked at Shi Nanxi, whose face was still pale and obviously still in shock, and said:

"It just so happens that Princess Shi Er has an older sister who also lives in Chuxiu Palace, and in the same room. But now she has gone to the Empress Dowager's place in Ningshou Palace. I will send someone to notify her right away."

After saying that, he was about to arrange for someone. At this time, Shi Nanxi, who was lying on the bed, heard the conversation between the two and raised her head hurriedly:

"Madame Yang, Madame Yang, no need. I'm fine now. I was just a little scared before. There's no need to ask my elder sister to come back. She will be worried when she finds out."

Madam Yang frowned, looking disapproving:

"Second Princess Shi, even if I don't send someone to invite Grand Princess Shi now, Grand Princess Shi will know when she comes back later."

After hearing this, Shi Nanxi bit her lip lightly, lowered her head and whispered:

"I know, but I'll know later and worry later."

The role of soothing the shadow naturally belongs to Kangxi. As for Shi Rongyue, well, she is about to break up with her.

Seeing that Shi Nanxi was determined, Nanny Yang no longer insisted and instead instructed her confidant Qing'er to go to the Imperial Hospital. Someone reliable must be asked to get the medicine, but Shi Nanxi only had Hongying by his side, so it was not convenient for her to leave now.

Then she looked at Shi Nanxi again, this time with a serious look:

"Second Princess Shi, there was a venomous snake in Chuxiu Palace today. Whether it was an accident or not, I will give you an explanation as soon as possible."

Hearing the word "venomous snake" again, Shi Nanxi's face turned pale, and after a while she whispered:

"On March 3rd, the snake came out of its hole. It was my own carelessness. I have to trouble you anyway."

When Madam Yang heard this, her expression remained serious, but her heart was agitated. This Second Princess was a reasonable and kind person. She said:

"Second Sister, your words are too harsh. This happened in Chuxiu Palace. It is my fault. You can take a rest first. I will go down to investigate."

Shi Nanxi nodded gently. After Nanny Yang left, only Shi Nanxi and her servant and Old Liu were left in the room. She looked at Old Liu packing up his medicine box and raised her pale lips:

"I'm sorry to trouble Elder Liu again this time."

Old Liu stroked his beard and said,

"I am just entrusted by someone."

"Trusted by someone?" Shi Nanxi was a little confused, but had no intention of delving into it. Instead, she asked about Concubine Ping's little prince.

"Come to think of it, I heard that Elder Liu was specially invited by the Emperor to treat the young prince. I wonder if the young prince is feeling better now?"

Seeing that Shi Nanxi did not notice his hint, Elder Liu paused and did not mention it again. He then followed her words and replied:

"The little prince of Concubine Ping was born with a deficiency. His health is getting worse. It may be difficult to cure him..."

The rest of the words can be guessed without being told in detail. Shi Nanxi frowned and wrote it down first. Then he remembered something and quickly looked at Old Liu:

"Then Mr. Liu, if... will it implicate you?"

Old Liu didn't expect that Princess Shi Er would think of his safety first. When he met the other party's concerned eyes, his heart was slightly moved.

I have said before that even at the age of sixty, he can still see whether a person truly cares about him, and that is why he is moved.

"Thank you for your concern, Sister Shi. No matter what, I am only doing my best. You don't have to worry. Moreover, the current emperor is a wise and enlightened ruler. I believe that no matter what the outcome, the emperor will make his own decision."

Although Shi Nanxi had some intention of winning over the other party because his son was a court judge, she was truly grateful and concerned for Mr. Liu who helped her take care of her body.

Hearing this, he thought of Kangxi and immediately felt relieved:

"I worry too much. The emperor is wise and brave, and he is a good man."

Seeing the other party's reaction, Old Liu's hand stroking his beard paused, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he picked up the medicine box and retreated. He was stopped by people sent by Liang Jiugong on the way, and now he still had to go to Changchun Palace.

"Hongying, send Elder Liu off."

Hongying nodded.

After Hongying sent Old Liu to the door and was about to go back to the house, suddenly a little palace maid ran over and whispered something to her.

"You mean, not long ago, Aunt Qiaohui, the head maid of Concubine Yi, was ordered to summon the Second Princess, and in the end, she was found unconscious and passed away?"

The person who came was the little palace maid who had been held by Qiaohui before. She immediately nodded enthusiastically. Hongying narrowed her eyes and took out a purse and handed it to the little palace maid.

"Thank you for telling me. Here you go!"

The little palace maid immediately took the purse happily and left, while Hongying turned back to the house and told Shi Nanxi about it.

Shi Nanxi looked surprised and uneasy when she heard this. She thought to herself, "As expected, Concubine Yi has found her. Fortunately, everything is going according to her plan." But she said worriedly,

"I don't know why Concubine Yi summoned me. Will she be unhappy if I didn't go in time?"

Hongying comforts:

"Don't worry, Second Princess. You just didn't go because something unexpected happened and you didn't receive the order. Concubine Yi won't be unhappy. Moreover, I am somewhat glad that Second Princess can legitimately not go, because going may not necessarily be a good thing. Have you forgotten about the Ninth Prince?"

All this is just to have a legitimate reason not to go to Yikun Palace.

Hearing this, Shi Nanxi lowered her eyelashes slightly:

"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten it. But Concubine Yi is the main queen, and I cannot be disrespectful no matter what. I will go and apologize after I am well again."

Concubine Yi is not easy to fool. She didn't go this time on the pretext of an accident, but she would have to go eventually. There are not so many accidents in this world. But it is up to her to decide when to go.

……

In Yikun Palace, after Qiaohui left, Nanny Wang served Concubine Yi a cup of hot tea. Concubine Yi picked it up, gently scraped the lid, and asked softly:

"Mammy, what do you think about the appearance of a poisonous snake in Chuxiu Palace?"

Nanny Wang stepped aside and immediately said:

"It's definitely not a simple accident."

"Oh?" Concubine Yi said this, but her tone did not sound surprised at all.

Nanny Wang's well-organized analysis:

“First of all, the two princesses of the Shi family have been high-profile since they entered the palace. With so many concubines, there must be people who are jealous and can’t help but take action.

But the identity of Shi Da Gege is there, everyone knows it, and dare not touch it easily. On the contrary, Shi Er Gege is just taking advantage of Shi Da Gege's influence. Her own personality and talents are not good, and she is timid and cowardly. She picks on the weak. Besides, if Shi Er Gege is eliminated, there will be one less "strong enemy"!"

When the word "strong enemy" was mentioned, Nanny Wang showed a hint of contempt in her eyes and said nonchalantly:

"I am just relying on my status as Princess Shi to be looked up to by others. I am not even as good as a palace maid with a bit of ambition. There is no need to worry about me."

After hearing this, Concubine Yi glanced at Nanny Wang and said, "Mammy, please don't let anyone spread this. I heard that the eldest and second princesses have a very good relationship."

But even so, there was no anger in his tone.

Upon seeing this, Nanny Wang quickly slapped her mouth.

"Your Highness is right. I was the one who spoke without thinking. But now that things are like this, do you still want to summon that person again?"

Concubine Yi did not speak. She retracted her gaze, slowly drank a sip of tea, and then held the teacup and said:

"No need to summon her. Just wait and see if she will come to see me after she recovers."

A gleam of light flashed quickly in her eyes. It was said that the man was timid and cowardly. If that was true, after learning that she had summoned him, he would definitely come to apologize in fear and trepidation.

"Can you go to Qiandongwusuo to see if Ninth Prince is feeling better?" Concubine Yi concealed her thoughts and changed the subject.

"Yes, ma'am."

at the same time,

Changchun Palace.

Concubine Ping, who had avoided the palace to pick up Buddha beans, learned that Old Liu was a quarter of an hour late today. After asking, she found out that it was because of Shi Nanxi's matter. She immediately threw the Buddha beans in her hand angrily.

"You little bitch, you delayed the emperor from coming to Changchun Palace and harmed my brother. Now you dare to delay Elder Liu from coming to Changchun Palace. And that Elder Liu, you dare to abandon my little prince. If my little prince makes the slightest mistake, I will tear him into pieces."

She obviously forgot that in addition to Old Liu, the young prince also had a resident imperial physician.

I also hated Old Liu in my heart.
