The group's favorite, the blind princess is both a doctor and a poisoner

Wutongju

As soon as I entered the yard, I saw Xiao Heng standing under the sycamore tree, and Xuanfeng following behind him carrying a big food box.

Today he was wearing a smoky blue cloud satin brocade robe, with his hair tied up with a jade crown. He had a face like jade and stood with his hands hanging down. He looked even more elegant than before, and was truly a person of great talent.

Hearing Su Yuejian coming back, he turned and looked at her with a smile on his face.

Su Yuejian was dazzled by this handsome face and stood there in a daze.

"See Prince Regent."

The maids behind him all knelt down and saluted.

Hearing this, Su Yuejian came back to his senses and began to kneel down to pay his respects.

Before she could bend down and squat, Xiao Heng quickly stepped forward and supported her.

"No need to be polite."

Su Yuejian took a step back to avoid his hand and bowed.

"Why is the prince here?" Su Yuejian asked puzzledly.

Xiao Heng couldn't help but chuckle.

Little heartless.

"Qi Yuan has prepared a facial ointment, and I'm sending it over on the way."

Su Yuejian's tone was calm.

"Thank you, Your Highness the Regent. Your Highness's body is precious. From now on, for trivial matters like getting medicine, I can just send someone to let me know. You won't have to go in person."

Xiao Heng's smile froze.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

. . . . .

Seeing this, Qinglan stepped forward to smooth things over and said, "Your Highness, please come in. Yinxin will serve tea."

Then he led him to sit at the jade table under the paulownia tree.

Xiao Heng waved his hand.

Xuanfeng handed the food box over and put it on the table.

When you open the lid, you're greeted by a sweet aroma. It's a pastry from Hachihosai, the most famous shop in Kyoto. It's filled with three layers of pastries, and I'm sure all the cakes in the shop are in there.

Xiao Heng's voice was gentle.

"I happened to pass by a pastry shop on the way here. I didn't know your taste, so I bought some extra."

In the dark, Xuan Yu muttered to himself:

Your Highness, this shop is located in the south and north of the palace, respectively. Which road are they following? You think Miss Su rarely goes out. This lie is too loose.

"Thank you for your expense, Your Highness. However, I seldom eat sweets, so Your Highness should take it back."

Su Yuejian said calmly.

Yuzhu listened from the side, full of confusion.

"Miss, what are you talking about? Don't you usually love desserts?"

Xiao Heng remained silent.

I picked up the teacup and took a sip. It was green in color, clear in flavor, mellow and rich, with a long-lasting aftertaste. It was the best tea.

"Miss Su, this tea is good."

Su Yuejian smiled but said nothing.

Yuzhu refilled his tea with a cheerful tone.

"Your Highness is truly amazing. This is the young lady's newly brewed tea, which cannot be bought anywhere else."

"Yuzhu." Su Yuejian stopped her.

Xiao Heng was surprised.

"I didn't know Miss Su had such skills."

Su Yuejian took a sip of tea.

"I'm just killing time. If Your Majesty likes it, I'll have someone pack some and send it over."

"it is good."

Xiao Heng raised the corners of his lips slightly and tapped his index finger on the table.

Su Yuejian saw that he seemed to have something to say.

He dismissed the maids and asked them to guard the gate of the courtyard.

Only Xiao Heng and she were left in the yard.

"The prince has something to do."

Su Yuejian's tone was firm.

Xiao Heng smiled slightly, his tone gentle,

"The men in black that day were all assassins. Their whereabouts have not yet been discovered."

Su Yuejian frowned.

He had investigated that group? For her?

He continued,

"You don't know martial arts, so if you want to go out in the future, you must stay within Xuan Shuang's sight."

She did not speak.

Seeing that she was silent, Xiao Heng raised his hand and took out some snacks from the food box and placed them in front of her.

"This is their signature dish. Try it and see if it suits your taste."

Su Yuejian said nothing and looked at him quietly.

"Your Majesty, I like people who speak their mind."

Xiao Heng paused what he was doing.

Then he put down the pastry and looked at her intently.

"My Lord, do you like me?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Heng's eyes. He didn't expect her to ask so directly.

"Yes."

His answer was brief and earnest.

Now it was Su Yuejian who was surprised.

"Why?"

"Your Highness and I are strangers. Besides, everyone in Tianjin knows that I am just an adopted daughter, without talent or beauty, and I am also blind."

Xiao Heng looked at her with a smile on his lips, tenderness between his brows, and deep eyes filled with some indescribable emotions.

"You saved me."

Xiao Heng spoke word by word.

"My life is very valuable. I must repay your life-saving grace with my own."

Su Yuejian frowned.

If the veil hadn't been covering her face, Xiao Heng would have definitely been able to see that Su Yuejian was looking at him as if he were a fool.

Is this a story from some kind of book?!

Did they get their roles reversed?!

Is this really the cold and heartless Regent? He looks more like a scoundrel.

She scoffed.

"The prince is joking."

Xiao Heng answered calmly and seriously.

"I never joke."

Su Yuejian looked at his serious expression, and the joke came to her lips but she couldn't say it.

"I appreciate your love, Your Highness, but my status is low, and I am not a good match for you. Your Highness has rescued me many times. I will do my best to help you detoxify. I hope Your Highness will not mention this matter again in the future."

Su Yuejian said seriously.

She was indeed grateful to him, both in her past life and now.

A sinister look flashed across Xiao Heng's eyes, but then his expression returned to normal in an instant.

"it is good."

Xiao Heng's expression was calm, and no emotion could be heard.

Su Yuejian breathed a sigh of relief.

"I heard from Xuan Shuang that you were investigating Lu Jinru's case."

She nodded.

He spoke slowly: "Do you know her?"

Su Yue was speechless for a moment, and said with a guilty conscience, "I'm just curious."

Xiao Heng looked at her strangely.

Su Yuejian coughed lightly and asked, "Have you received the prescription for the prince?"

Xiao Heng nodded slightly and took a sip of tea.

"There are several rare herbs on it, and it will take some time to find them. I will give you an acupuncture injection once a month to suppress the poison in your body. Your poison cannot be delayed, so the first injection will be in seven days."

Xiao Heng's expression relaxed and the corners of his mouth curled up in pleasure.

Seven days...

"It's inconvenient for Your Highness to come to the Grand Tutor's Mansion often, so why not stay at the Ji Medical Hall?"

He replied, "Don't worry about the place. I will send someone to pick you up when the time comes."

Su Yuejian nodded.

There was silence between the two for a moment.

Seeing her sitting stiffly, Xiao Heng couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Is it so uncomfortable to be with him?

Xiao Heng took out a blue-white porcelain box from his arms and placed it in front of her.

"Remember to take your medicine on time."

His voice was soft but very pleasant, like a feather falling into her ear.

After saying that, he stood up and left.

Su Yuejian stood up and bowed to his departing back.

After he left, she picked up the porcelain box on the table and opened it.

A light medicinal fragrance came, and it seemed to carry a hint of the cedar wood scent on his body.

Qi Yuan is an excellent doctor and this ointment is the best.

It’s a pity that her face has already recovered and it is no longer needed.
