"The princess is going to Linchuan?"
The next day was the day Xie Yunhuai came to see Shen Xihe for a follow-up consultation. Everyone inside and outside the palace knew that Shen Xihe was going to Linchuan.
"Yes, my cousin is getting married." Shen Xihe was not wearing any makeup today. Her undrawn eyebrows were naturally relaxed, making her look casual and comfortable.
"The princess is very happy." Xie Yunhuai could feel her joy.
Shen Xihe lowered her eyes slightly, her face relaxed, her pupils clear: "My uncle and aunt treat me like their own daughter, and my cousin and I are like siblings."
The days when she was not at her uncle's house were more relaxing for her. She was a treasure in the northwest, and her father and brother tried their best to make time to accompany her. But when she was at her uncle's house in Linchuan, she was accompanied by her aunt, third cousin, and younger cousin.
Every day was bustling with activity. Even though she was not suitable for excessive exercise and fatigue, and she was obviously a lively person, she ignored her friends and talked to her every day, being bossed around by her.
It was very rare to see her smile so innocently and sweetly. Xie Yunhuai asked, "The princess likes Linchuan very much, right?"
After thinking carefully, Shen Xihe shook his head gently: "Except for the northwest, no matter where I am, it's the same. The only difference is the people."
She likes it there because there are people she misses.
"The princess has recovered very well. She should be able to take the bone-breaking pill six more times. After you finish taking it, you should not stop taking nourishing food all of a sudden. I have prepared some nourishing pills here. You can take them. After you finish taking the bone-breaking pill, you can continue to take it. One pill every two days. You still need to take it with decoctions. I have already prepared the decoctions."
Xie Yunhuai brought up a medicine incense stick, opened it, and told Shen Xihe one by one: "There are also some hemostatic medicine, healing medicine, and some medicine for treating some acclimatization..."
After a pause, Xie Yunhuai pointed at two emerald green medicine bottles and said, "This contains poison. This one is extremely toxic and will kill you if you take it. This one will take two days for the poison to take effect."
Shen Xihe was somewhat touched. She had entered the palace yesterday to ask for permission to leave Beijing, and Xie Yunhuai could only receive the news in the afternoon at the earliest. This must have been prepared overnight: "Thank you, Doctor Qi."
Xie Yunhuai arranged his medicinal incense and said, "I am looking forward to the princess bringing me the Linchuan local rituals when she returns."
"Definitely." Shen Xihe agreed with a smile, and then reminded, "Doctor Qi is in Kyoto, be careful."
"I should have settled the matter with the Duke's Mansion long ago. Princess, don't worry about me." Xie Yunhuai picked up the medicine box, "Princess, you should also be careful."
"Would you like to invite Doctor Qi to our mansion for a meal and a farewell drink today?" Shen Xihe said with a smile.
"I prefer a welcoming wine party. When the princess returns, I will host a welcoming party for her." Xie Yunhuai declined.
Shen Xihe did not force him and personally sent him away.
Soon, all the people sent by Emperor Youning arrived. Shen Xihe never expected that Emperor Youning would be so powerful that he assigned fifty guards to escort her, and did not interfere with the rest.
Shen Xihe prepared some gifts. His uncle Tao Yuan had taken his eldest cousin and second cousin to Linchuan half a month ago to help arrange the wedding.
She originally thought that Xiao Huayong would do something or send someone for her, but when she set off the next day, she didn't see anyone from the East Palace. She didn't feel dissatisfied or disappointed. Only Hongyu, who was full of expectations for Xiao Huayong, began to look unhappy as the carriage left the city. Shen Xihe couldn't help shaking his head when he saw it.
