At the entrance of Ji Medical Hall

Zhao Youyou looked anxious, "But I really have something urgent to do and I want to see the Divine Doctor Baihe!"

The medicine boy said helplessly, "My lady, the White Crane Divine Doctor has already left after seeing the patient. Even if you want to see him, I can't find him."

Zhao Youyou asked anxiously, "Then where does he live? Where can I see him?"

The medicine boy shook his head. "I don't know that either. The miracle doctor only comes to see patients on the tenth day of every month. He never comes at other times, let alone looking for him."

"But..." Zhao Youyou frowned.

"What's wrong?" Li Jingzhu saw that the medicine boy and the woman in yellow seemed to be arguing about something, so he walked over.

The medicine boy told Li Jingzhu that the woman in yellow wanted to see the White Crane Divine Doctor.

Li Jingzhu nodded and said, "Miss, the master has indeed passed away. If you want to make an appointment for a consultation, I can register you first and come back on the tenth day of next month."

Zhao Youyou shook her head. "No, I'm not here to see a doctor. I'm here to ask for medicine."

Li Jingzhu was stunned for a moment, "Seeking medicine?"

Zhao Youyou's eyes brightened, "I want to ask for the Jade Sea Scrophulariaceae from the White Crane Divine Doctor."

Li Jingzhu frowned, this Blue Sea Scrophulariaceae is a rare medicinal herb.

Zhao Youyou said, "Please tell Divine Doctor Baihe that no matter how high the price he offers or what he asks for, I will agree to it. I only ask that he give me the medicine."

Li Jingzhu was a little embarrassed, "This..."

Looking at Zhao Youyou's determined pleading eyes, Li Jingzhu nodded hesitantly, "Okay, I can only convey your message. As for whether Master agrees to give me the medicine..."

"Thank you, doctor! Thank you, doctor!"

Zhao Youyou smiled and walked to the horse with a happy pace. She was about to climb onto the horse, but then she remembered the woman's reminder and walked away with the horse while smiling.

As soon as I returned to the mansion, I heard the sound of laughter coming from the main hall.

"Dad! I'm back!"

Zhao Wanfeng listened to her yelling voice, and his smile froze for a moment. Then he said, "My daughter has always been unrestrained. I hope Your Highness will not be offended."

Xiao Chengchang said with a smile, "My Lord, you are too kind."

Zhao Youyou ran in excitedly, and was slightly stunned when she saw the people in the front hall. Then she saw her father making faces, so she pouted and slowed down her pace.

"Youyou is back just in time. This is His Royal Highness Prince Gong."

Then he winked at her and bowed, "Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Gong."

"Miss Zhao, please stand up." Xiao Cheng spoke in a gentle tone, and his face looked like a modest gentleman.

Zhao Youyou stood up and looked at the man in front of him. Although he was handsome, the dark circles under his eyes made him look a little sick. He was also a little thin, and it seemed that his clothes could not hold him up.

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly. He also looked like a sickly person, but Prince Gong was far worse than him.

Seeing Zhao Youyou staring at him, Xiao Chengchang's lips curled up slightly.

Sure enough, he knew that with his looks and status, it would not be easy to win over a little girl.

It was because Su Yuejian was so aloof that she ignored him!

Thinking of Su Yuejian, a trace of unwillingness and viciousness flashed across Xiao Chengchang's eyes.

At this time, Su Yuejian had just finished dinner when she received a letter from Li Jingzhu.

After reading the letter, Su Yuejian frowned slightly and sat on the couch in a daze.

"What are you thinking about?" Xiao Heng's low and magnetic voice came.

Su Yue looked up when she heard the voice, and Xiao Heng had already walked up to her.

She is now accustomed to the way Xiao Heng and Xuan Shuang appear quietly.

He raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Why are you here so late?"

Xiao Heng frowned slightly, turned around and sat down, his tone sounding a little dissatisfied, "I haven't seen you for a long time, and you ask this?"

Before Su Yuejian could answer, she felt her body lighten, and the next second she was in his arms.

The man in front of her hugged her very tightly. Su Yue turned around helplessly, but Xiao Heng had no intention of letting her go.

She sighed in compromise and let him hold her in his arms, her eyes turning as she said,

"Let's not ask that. Let me ask you, have you found out the identity of that scarred man?"

Xiao Heng looked calm as he picked up a strand of her hair and played with it in his hand. His voice was as clear and deep as ever, without any hint of abnormality.

"We're still checking, it will be soon."

Hearing this, Su Yuejian lowered her eyes.

Xiao Heng lifted her chin, tilted his head, lowered his eyebrows, and made his dark eyes look a little pitiful.

"If I can't find out, I can't come to see you?"

"But this prince misses the princess very much."

Su Yuejian felt itchy in her heart when she was looked at by his wet eyes. Her long eyelashes trembled a few times, and she raised her hand to pinch his face.

"Your Highness should drink less tea; it's too strong."

Although there was some anger in her tone, Su Yuejian didn't use much force on her hands, because the face of the person in front of her was so beautiful that she couldn't bear to do it.

Xiao Heng raised his eyebrows, leaned forward slightly, and sniffed her neck a few times.

The man's warm breath sprayed on her skin. Su Yuejian's fair earlobes blushed shamefully and she leaned back a little unnaturally.

Xiao Heng placed his large hand on her waist, preventing her from moving away. He raised his head and chuckled, "You should drink less tea. The flavor of tea is far inferior to Zhao Zhao's."

"You..." Su Yue saw her cheeks flushed lightly. She pushed him and stammered, "Where...where did you learn these nonsense from?"

Xiao Heng curled his lips and asked, "Why didn't you send anyone to tell me when you went to Yueshan last time?"

Su Yuejian said, "Xuan Shuang said you were very busy recently. Besides, I went to see Xiaobai, and my master was with me. We had a lot of fun."

Xiao Heng's eyes darkened, "Are you not having fun playing with me?"

"Hmm?" Su Yue was stunned by his question, and after thinking for a while, she said, "When have you ever played with me?"

Since they met, the two of them have never had any leisurely fun.

Xiao Heng raised his eyes slightly and nodded, "How about I accompany you to Moon Mountain tomorrow night?"

Su Yuejian tilted her head slightly and blinked, "Tomorrow night?"

"Ah Che, are you mistaken? Tomorrow night is the Qianqiu Palace Banquet. Don't you even attend the Queen Mother's birthday?"

Xiao Heng smiled and said, "It's okay. The Qianqiu Banquet is held every year. Accompanying Zhao Zhao is the most important thing."

Su Yuejian frowned in confusion and looked at him intently for a while.

Thinking back to the rumors, Xiao Heng was aloof by nature and didn't like socializing with others. He indeed rarely attended palace banquets.

In previous years, the Taifu Mansion had no mistress and no legitimate daughter, so the invitation to the palace banquet was only given to Su Lin.

But things are different now. Su Yuejian received the invitation to the palace banquet early on. Now she is both the Princess Minghua and the future Regent Princess.

Palace banquets are not like ordinary banquets for officials and their wives. If I refuse again, it will lead to rumors.

What's more, her mother's murderer was hiding in that magnificent palace.

She spoke slowly, "Let's go to Yueshan another day. I have to go to the Qianqiu Banquet tomorrow night."

A hint of darkness flashed across Xiao Heng's eyes, which disappeared in an instant. His voice was low and contained a faint smile.

"Since the princess is attending the palace banquet, then this king will naturally accompany her."

Su Yuejian felt that he was a little strange tonight and what he said was a bit nonsensical. She remembered that last time in the palace, he and the Queen Mother seemed to have a very distant relationship.

After a long silence, he asked, "Ache, is the Queen Mother your biological mother?"
