“In seven days at the latest, I will send the antidote.

You just need to take good care of the emperor's health and change the prescription in time."

Jun Xiaochen said this with certainty. Xu Junjun lifted the hair that fell down beside her ear and looked up at him:

"I say, being the regent is really tiring, with so many troubles that you can't solve them all in one day.

I'm curious, will this kind of high-pressure life shorten your lifespan?

Jun Xiaochen looked down at her, his amber eyes flashing dangerously:

"You really hope that the king will die soon?"

Xu Junjun swallowed her saliva, not daring to look into Jun Xiaochen's too beautiful eyes for too long. She lowered her head and said insincerely:

"How is that possible? My life is tied to yours now.

I wish you would live a hundred years longer, better than the turtle in the wishing well."

Jun Xiaochen seemed to be smiling, and his face, which had always been gloomy, was now filled with a hint of fun:

"Wishing well?

Bastard?

Why does this prince feel like Madam Huo is scolding him? "

"..."

I was scolding you.

Xu Junjun rolled her eyes, and suddenly realized that Jun Xiaochen, that bastard, had been calling her Madam Huo in a sarcastic tone. She raised her head angrily, waved her fist at Jun Xiaochen, and gritted her teeth:

"Jun Xiaochen, I have nothing to do with the Huo family anymore.

If you dare to yell in such a pretentious tone again, I'll knock your teeth out!"

Xu Junjun's fangs and claws were bared, like a wolf cub caught in hunting when he was very young. Jun Xiaochen's amber eyes flashed with a smile:

"Then how would you like me to address you?

Doctor Xu?

Or is it Miss Xu?"

Xu Junjun waved impatiently:

"Anything is fine, as long as it doesn't have anything to do with the word Huo."

The days in the Huo Mansion were not very good. Apart from Old Madam Huo, there was nothing worth reminiscing about.

The title of Mrs. Huo really made her sick.

Jun Xiaochen nodded, understanding:

"I know this."

Jun Xiaochen had a lot of things to deal with, so he took the medicine and turned away without saying much to Xu Junjun.

Under Wei Dong's arrangement, the letters and pills that Xu Junjun sent to Yuncheng also set off two days later.

Time flows like water.

In a blink of an eye, Xu Junjun had been in Tianqi for three months.

The climate in Tianqi also changes from mild in autumn to cold in winter.

During these three months, Xu Junjun was either refining medicine or on his way to refine medicine.

I was busy all day and before I knew it, it was the end of the year.

On this day, Xu Junjun was refining medicine in the yard as usual.

After the refined pills were divided into several portions and sealed in jade bottles, the maidservant in the courtyard suddenly came in and reported:

"Miss Xu, it's time for lunch."

When Xu Junjun was refining medicine, he often neglected sleep and food. There were many times when he was so hungry that his stomach hurt, and he had to cling to the door frame and shiver as he called for someone to bring him food.

The maids serving in the courtyard were afraid that she would torture herself to death, so every day at a certain time, they would go into the courtyard to remind Xu Junjun to eat.

"Okay, come right away."

Xu Junjun responded loudly, put the various jade bottles filled with elixirs aside, and then got up and ran to the next room.

Two more medicinal powders were produced in the afternoon. After dinner, I came over to check the medicinal properties and bottle them.

Xu Junjun spent the whole day refining medicine. In order to make things easier, she braided her black hair into a long braid and let it hang in front of her chest, making her look neat and dashing.

After washing her hands with a hot water towel prepared by the maid, Xu Junjun sat down at the table and started eating while looking at the sumptuous meal.

The maidservant saw that today's meal was to her liking, so she poured her a bowl of nourishing soup and whispered to her:

"Girl, you slept too late last night. You should go to bed early today."

After a few months, the maids serving Xu Junjun in the courtyard received a lot of favors from her.

If you have a headache or fever, you no longer have to sneak out of the house to see a doctor or boil the medicine yourself as before. Xu Junjun will take your pulse, pick out a few herbs in the yard, and ask them to boil them and take them, and the disease will be cured.

There was also a family member who was seriously ill and unable to get out of bed. After listening to the symptoms, Xu Junjun gave him half a bottle of medicine and sent him home. After he took the medicine, he recovered within a few days.

After all these events, Xu Junjun's reputation as a miracle doctor was completely established in the Regent's Palace.

The maids who served her were all proud of it.

Seeing that she had been staying up late to make medicine these days and had dark circles under her eyes, the maid who had been serving her since she entered the mansion gave her some distressed advice.

Xu Junjun swallowed the food in his mouth and explained:

"There's no other way. The powders and pills I've been refining lately have to be made at the right time. If they're made too late, they'll be useless. I have to wait a while."

The maid didn't understand. Every time she entered the pharmacy and looked at the messily stacked medicinal herbs, she didn't dare to take big steps, for fear that she would bump into some important herbs and bring disaster.

Moreover, in the eyes of several maids in the courtyard, Xu Junjun was serious and beautiful when she was refining medicine, as dazzling as the sun hanging in the sky.

Out of awe, they didn't even dare to get close.

Not to mention going in to help.

Therefore, after hearing what Xu Junjun said, the maidservant knew what to do and stopped trying to persuade her.

Miss Xu has done great things. I heard that the pills she made saved many of the prince's personal guards. Even Lord Weidong, who was poisoned last month, was saved by Miss Xu.

Miss Xu is such an outstanding person, and it is not for us servants to interfere in what she does.

Xu Junjun had no idea that she had become a deity in the eyes of the servants in the Prince Regent's Palace. She hurriedly finished her meal, rinsed her mouth with tea, and then rushed back to the pharmacy to work.

When Wei Dong entered the yard with the envelope, Xu Junjun was lying on the table, carefully pouring a ball of black powder into the jade bottle.

Today, Xu Junjun wore a pink embroidered long dress, which was made of a special fabric made by Tianqi, and was both beautiful and warm.

The embroidered skirt and jacket with white fox fur trim made her look delicate and elegant, like a snow lotus blooming on the top of the snow, so beautiful and graceful.

Wei Dong took a glance and quickly lowered his head, avoiding the slender waist curve revealed when Xu Junjun bent down, and stood quietly aside waiting.

Xu Junjun carefully divided the medicinal powder into two jade bottles and sealed them. She carefully cleaned the powder on the table before straightening up, bending down and picking up the jade bottles.

"Miss Xu."

Just as Xu Junjun was happily preparing to put the jade bottle aside, Wei Dong's sudden voice startled her, and the jade bottle in her hand almost flew out.

"It's broad daylight, and you're walking silently!"

Flustered, he grabbed the jade bottle, patted his chest, and started cursing:

"If this bottle breaks, you're dead today!"

"I'm sorry, Miss Xu. Next time, I'll wait until you put the bottle away before I speak."

Wei Dong scratched his head, apologized, took out a letter from his pocket, and handed it to Xu Junjun:

"Miss Xu, this is the letter I just received from the Great Sage..."

"letter!"

When Xu Junjun heard the word "Great Sage", her eyes lit up. Without waiting for Wei Dong to finish speaking, she snatched the letter and opened it impatiently.
