Su Heting didn't know how to describe his feelings for a moment. Deep down, he was looking forward to meeting Qiao Xi.

But he knew better that it was unlikely that Su Que could detoxify him. He had sought help from other doctors over the years, but the hope was slim.

Su Heting's heart began to ache just thinking about the grief of Qiao Xi having to watch him die.

She didn't care about herself at all in her pursuit of revenge. If she suffered another blow, who knows how crazy she would become.

After taking back the forehead chain, Su Heting released the red fox, asked Bei Qiao and Xiaoman to look after Qiao Xi, and returned to the study.

The study was the same as when he left it, and the couch was back in its original place with no signs of having been opened.

If Red Fox had not secretly taken away the forehead chain while Qiao Xi was not paying attention, he might never have known that Qiao Xi had seen his secret.

The box was opened, and what came into view was a pile of scrolls.

Su Heting unfolded one, and the woman in it had two buns on her head, bright white teeth, and a sweet and unrestrained smile.

That was what Qiao Xi looked like before she came of age.

All the scrolls in this box depict the same person, but their ages are different, ranging from Qiao Xi's age of six to fifteen.

Those were the memories of the Crown Prince Siyu, and the portraits were all painted by him personally, using the painting skills he had acquired when he was the Crown Prince.

Qiao Xi was very familiar with Si Yu's painting skills. As soon as she saw the portraits, she could guess that he was Si Yu.

Su Heting gently stroked the water stains on a portrait. He treasured each of these portraits as treasures, and there was not a trace of dirt or damage. So this water stain could only be Qiao Xi's tears.

Thinking of the example of Censor Wang that Qiao Xi mentioned, Su Heting felt both distressed and amused. His Xi Baoer was giving him this advice because she was worried that he would blame her.

She hoped for his forgiveness and to recognize him!

Su Heting put the scrolls away one by one and took out the gift box from under the scrolls.

After five years of separation, there were five birthday gifts in total. Except for the forehead necklace taken away by Red Fox, the other four were all neatly packed in the box.

He took out everything, including the forehead chain, and put them in his arms. He strode out of the study and walked towards Qiao Xi's room.

Xi Baoer already knew his identity, and it would be cruel for him to continue pretending to be deaf and dumb and hiding it from her.

"You guys go out."

When they arrived at Qiao Xi's room, Su Heting saw that she was still sleeping peacefully, so he waved Bei Qiao and Xiao Man away.

He placed all the birthday gifts at the head of Qiao Xi's bed, loosened his outer robe, lay down beside Qiao Xi, turned sideways, and carefully held her in his arms.

He looked at her eyes and eyebrows carefully, as if he could never look enough, until the night fell, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

His hand always held hers.

When I woke up again, it was because of the heat.

The person in his arms was burning like a furnace. Su Heting's mind cleared instantly. He hurriedly stood up and pulled off his outer robe. "Come here, the princess has a high fever. Go call Su Que."

This shout made the maid outside run hurriedly to inform the maid, and also made the two people squatting outside the door stand up immediately.

Changsheng dropped the candied haws rack and rushed into the house.

The bald barefoot followed closely behind him and said, "I am the doctor invited by the princess. I will take a look at her."

Su Heting also saw the barefooted man in the daytime and knew that he was brought into the mansion by Qiao Xi. However, he was thinking about Qiao Xi at that time and did not delve into what he did.

After hearing what he said, he looked at Changsheng.

When Lai Chijiao followed Qiao Xi into the mansion, he was still dressed like a beggar. Changsheng loved cleanliness very much and wanted him to tidy up, but Lai Chijiao had many concerns and was unwilling to show his true face.

Qiao Xi let him do what he wanted and told Changsheng not to judge people by appearance, and that Lai Chijiao was a doctor with excellent medical skills.

Now seeing Qiao Xi's face flushed with fever, Changsheng didn't care whether Qiao Xi's bare feet were dirty or not. He just remembered that Qiao Xi was a good doctor, so he grabbed his wrist and pulled him to the bedside.

Seeing this, Su Heting did not stop him.

Changsheng cares about Qiao Xi, so he won't be careless when it comes to Qiao Xi. Besides, Su Que's yard is not close to here, so it will probably take a while for him to get over.

Lai Chijiao didn't hesitate. He wiped his hands on his clothes and put his hand on Qiao Xi's wrist. After a moment, he said, "Don't worry. It's a high fever caused by an external injury."

Su Heting thought about Qiao Xi not letting Su Que feel her pulse during the day, and he became suspicious. "Is that all? Is there anything else wrong with the princess's body?"

Lai Chijiao looked at Su Heting.

He was not like Changsheng, who squatted outside the door all the time. In the meantime, he asked others about Su Que.

It was learned that she was rescued by the King of Xinjiang North five years ago and was later adopted as his sister, who treated her like his own sister.

In other words, the King of Xinjiang North is indeed the young man who rescued his daughter that year, and has been protecting her from being found by Cao Ying all these years.

He is his daughter's savior and also his benefactor. With such a great favor, he should truthfully inform Qiao Xi of her situation.

However, he remembered that Qiao Xi had been drugged with hallucinogenic drugs before, and that drug would only work when a man and a woman had sex.

Qiao Xi is the Princess of Jiangbei. The person who had sexual relations with her was probably the King of Jiangbei. The hallucinogenic drug must have been given to Qiao Xi by the King of Jiangbei.

The King of Jiangbei was indebted to him, and so was Qiao Xi.

If Qiao Xi hadn't found him, told him the clue about his daughter, and brought him to the King's Palace in Northern Xinjiang.

He might stay in Zhiniang's hometown for the rest of his life, not knowing that his daughter was still alive, and would never see her so soon.

He was also grateful to Qiao Xi.

But judging from the incident with the hallucinogenic drugs, there might be some rift between these two benefactors.

How could a normal couple have that kind of medicine?

He thought for a moment and said, "Judging from the pulse, the princess was worried too much before, and her spirit was as tense as a string.

Now, for some reason, I've relaxed my nerves, and my body's resistance has naturally weakened. Coupled with the trauma, I've developed a high fever, which isn't a bad thing for the princess."

Lai Chijiao decided not to tell anyone about Qiao Xi's abnormal pulse until he knew exactly what was going on between the couple.

As for whether he could tell it in the future or whether he should tell it, he thought it should be decided by Qiao Xi herself.

The favor he owed to the King of Jiangbei should not be repaid in this way.

Thinking that his daughter also knew medicine, he added, "I'll give the princess a few injections and give her two doses of medicine, and her high fever will subside."

Before Qiao Xi decided whether to confess her physical condition to the King of Jiangbei, he had to use acupuncture to conceal Qiao Xi's disordered pulse.

I also wanted to test my daughter's medical skills.

When Su Que arrived, Lai Chijiao had just finished giving acupuncture to Qiao Xi.

She locked herself in the pharmacy studying medical books when she heard that Qiao Xi had a high fever, so she hurried over.

When he saw other doctors, he looked at the leprous man with bare feet with some curiosity.

"You actually know medicine?"

Su Que was a little curious.

When she left Qiao Xi's room earlier, she smelled the scent of herbs on him. The doctor's sensitivity to her colleagues made her look at Lai Bajiao twice more.

When he saw the bald man with bare feet, he thought he was overthinking it. The man in front of him was not much better than the beggar on the street.

If he was really a doctor, why would he dress like that? Why didn't he treat the scabies on his head? I just thought that he had smelled some herbs for some reason and left without thinking too much.

Therefore, when she learned that Lai Kujiao was indeed a doctor, she, who usually didn't like to meddle in other people's business, asked this question out of curiosity.

The soles of the feet of the bald man were almost beating in his throat.

He found out that his daughter had no memory of the past and didn't even know where she came from.

Even their surnames follow the surname of the king of northern Xinjiang, and their names are chosen casually. The older brother is called He and the younger sister is called Que. They are of the same species and look more like a family.

Since I have forgotten even his name, it is naturally impossible to recognize him.

But being stared at by his daughter, he was still extremely nervous. He hoped that his daughter would recognize him, but he was also afraid that she would recognize him.

Fortunately, Su Heting rescued him.

He said to the barefooted man, "Doctor, please write me a prescription."
