She picked up the young prime minister while fleeing famine

For the past six months, she has spent every day with her two children. They are attached to her, trust her, help her, and love her.

Banxia had long regarded these two children as her own younger brothers. If something really happened to them, she might want to destroy everything in a frenzy.

However, Banxia didn't stay long. She closed the door on this side, then went over the courtyard wall to the next house. Seeing that Xiaoshuang'er was sleeping soundly in Ayu's arms, she felt a little relieved and returned home.

I'm so afraid that these days are just a dream. Thankfully, this is reality, and they are all alive and well.

However, this dream reminded Banxia that the outside world was still cruelly operating, and besides people like them, there were many ordinary people suffering all the hardships that the original owner had endured.

Sitting in the courtyard, looking at the crescent moon in the sky, Banxia began to think about the future for the first time, and why she had suddenly come to this world, bringing with her mutated wood-type ability.

Banxia was well aware of her own abilities; she could not possibly save the chaotic world. She lacked both the intelligence and the capability.

"So, why was I brought here? Is this dream a warning?" Banxia murmured to herself, looking at the sky.

Late at night, Prince Cheng had already retired for the night, but the people in charge of investigating the case were still working through the night. The Lian family grandfather and grandson were sorting out the case files together when Lian Cheng Haoxuan suddenly looked pained.

He was initially frozen in place, unable to move, and then collapsed to the ground in pain.

"Haoxuan, what's wrong with you? Someone come quick! Someone come quickly and fetch the family physician!" Liancheng Ruihong hurriedly helped his grandson up while calling for help.

"Grandfather, it hurts, it hurts so much, help, help me." Liancheng Haoxuan twisted his body, his voice squeezed out with difficulty from between his teeth.

He was in excruciating pain all over his body, so much so that he didn't even have the strength to make a sound.

"Haoxuan, hang in there! You've been poisoned. The imperial physician will be here soon. Just hang in there a little longer!" Liancheng Ruihong anxiously hugged his grandson and frantically called for help.

In the middle of the night, the prince's physician was summoned again. At first, he thought something had happened to the prince again, but he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was Liancheng Haoxuan who had been poisoned.

However, he didn't relax for long, because he had never seen this kind of poison before. His lips and nails were turning black, which meant it was a very serious poison.

The poisoned person experienced excruciating pain, sometimes as if being dismembered and crushed, sometimes as if being engulfed in lava, and sometimes as if falling into an ice cave, constantly crying out in cold. The servants of the Prince's Mansion were all in a state of chaos under Liancheng Ruihong's command.

One minute they'd bring the blankets, the next they'd bring ice. Although it was winter, the south was damp and cold, not yet freezing. If it weren't for the fact that the prince valued the Liancheng family, the prince's steward would have really given up.

But seeing Liancheng Haoxuan's deathly appearance, he really couldn't ignore it. He had heard that the Liancheng family head valued this grandson very much, and if he died in the Prince's mansion, the Liancheng family head would inevitably have a problem with the Prince.

After all, the assassin was clearly after the prince today. It's just strange that the young master Liancheng seemed fine the whole time, so how did he suddenly get poisoned? When did he get poisoned?

"Patriarch Liancheng, I cannot cure this poison. Why don't you ask Madam Rong to try?" the physician suggested, his face pale.

It would be strange if his complexion looked good when a poison appeared in him that he couldn't cure and didn't even know how to cure.

"I would be grateful if you could ask the steward to invite Madam Rong for me." Liancheng Ruihong was taken aback at first, then immediately made the request to the steward of the Prince's Mansion.

Although he looked down on Madam Rong, he had to use her now, so he had to lower himself for the sake of his grandson.

“Master Liancheng, it’s not that I don’t want to help, but it’s just that it’s too late to go into the backyard tonight. Besides, Madam Rong is being taken care of by Consort Rouge today.” The steward of the Prince’s mansion looked troubled.

It wasn't that he didn't want to help, but it was the backyard of the Prince's mansion, and even as the steward, he couldn't go there at night.

"Could you perhaps send a maid to inform them?" Liancheng Ruihong's expression was also grim. He knew that the rules of the Prince Cheng's residence were strict, but he couldn't care less about that now.

"It's possible, but the maid might not be able to summon someone," the steward of the Prince's mansion thought for a moment and then reminded him.

That Lady Rong was extremely arrogant, and even the prince couldn't really get her to do anything. The steward always felt that she was inexplicably arrogant, and if it weren't for his niece being trapped in the prince's mansion, she probably wouldn't even bother to talk to the prince.

Even so, Liancheng Ruihong still asked the steward to send someone over to invite him. Fortunately, the physician said that although he could not cure the poison, he could use acupuncture to relieve the poison and suppress some of the pain so that Liancheng Haoxuan would feel better.

The maid returned after a quarter of an hour, and sure enough, there was no one behind her.

"This servant did not see Madam Rong. The maidservant beside Madam Rong said she would relay the message and that this servant should wait until dawn to go and fetch someone," the maidservant replied tremblingly.

The atmosphere in the Prince's mansion was incredibly oppressive today. The maid secretly lamented her bad luck in getting such a job.

Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, a teacup broke at her feet. Luckily, she dodged quickly and it didn't hit her.

"Outrageous! How dare a lowly commoner from a barbarian tribe disregard the Liancheng family!" Liancheng Ruihong said angrily.

"Master Liancheng, please calm down. Madam Rong may not be familiar with our local customs, but she gets up very early every day. I sent someone over to wait for her, and we'll invite her over as soon as she wakes up." The steward of the Prince's mansion hurriedly smoothed things over, wiping away non-existent sweat.

He knew it would be like this. That Madam Rong is now a guest of honor of the Prince, and even the head of the Cheng family cannot be offended. He is really caught in the middle.

"Grandfather, don't be angry. Madam has worked hard treating the Prince's concubine today. I can still manage." Liancheng Haoxuan's face was pale. He pulled his grandfather's hand and his gaze was seemingly fixed on the family physician.

It's impossible to force our way into the Prince's mansion and capture him now. Even if we did, we wouldn't know if they would actually treat him properly to the antidote. So we have to politely ask them to come.

Fortunately, there was still the royal physician in front of him, and he could hold on until Madam Rong came to detoxify him.

This was only because the physician frankly stated that he could prolong the time before the poison fully manifested. Otherwise, Liancheng Haoxuan wouldn't have been so patient as to wait. As long as he could be given an antidote, he could endure it.

If he were truly going to die from the poison, he would never try to persuade his grandfather. Right now, the Liancheng family still had to support Prince Cheng and couldn't afford to have a conflict with him.

"Haoxuan, you really are a child. Sigh, Physician, I only have this one beloved grandson. You must do your best. Don't worry, the Liancheng family will remember this great kindness of yours."

Liancheng Ruihong's expression changed several times, but he finally gave up the idea of ​​forcibly bringing Madam Rong here and instead sought help from the family physician.
