The medicine can cure all poisons and cure life and death. As long as there is a trace of life, it can be saved. If my grandmother had taken the medicine earlier, or had taken the medicine immediately after returning home after being poisoned, she would not have died at all. "
"you mean… "
"My grandmother loved my mother more than her life, and I suspected that she gave the other pill to my mother. But I was heartbroken after receiving the report, and I didn't ask her because I was afraid of reminding my mother of her worries. Yesterday, when I was leaving the court, I saw the servants of the Rui Palace come to report that you were sick, and the myna left in a hurry. The last time my female doctor treated you, she said that you had a severe heart disease, and I immediately remembered this. Chuchu, I will try to help you get the pill, so that your heart disease will most likely be cured."
"Can my disease be cured?"
Qiaochu couldn't help but tremble all over. Although Shangguan Jinghong told her that he would try his best to cure her illness, she knew that he was just comforting her. If it could be cured, he would have performed surgery or other treatments on her long ago.
She can survive...
She covered her mouth with her hand, but tears flowed down violently.
Shangguan Jingcong took a step forward, clenched his hands, and stopped where he was. He couldn't even wipe away her tears...
"Jingcong, thank you..."
Before Qiaochu could finish her words, Shangguan Jingchong's expression suddenly changed. "There is someone here. It's impossible... Who would come to this garden that has been closed for a long time?" He said as a figure flashed in front of her, took her into his arms, and jumped into the dense flowers where the beauty was.
Qiaochu had his mouth and nose gently covered by a big hand. Seeing that the two people on his left and right were alert, he looked out nervously, and a woman's figure came into view.
373
It's a raised eyebrow.
Didn’t she go in with Concubine Zhuang to rest? Why did she come here
Her heart was pounding, but she saw him looking around with raised brows and frowned, as if he was waiting for someone.
After a while, a sound of footsteps came hurriedly.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting."
That voice—
Qiaochu could hardly believe his eyes. A man appeared behind Qiaomei.
The man is Shangguan Jinghong.
"Master Ba is borrowing the Empress's place to meet with Qiao Mei?"
"Um."
There was a huge glow in her raised eyebrows and eyes, "It's hard for you to be so attentive..."
All the scenery in front of him seemed to be turning upside down. Qiao Chu clenched his hands and finally found a bit of strength to look at the two people approaching.
Concubine Zhuang and Qiao Mei... turned out to be entangled with him.
But Shangguan Jinghong took out a small bottle from Huanhuan's arms and handed it to Qiaomei.
"This is the antidote to the poison in your body. It is not easy to see you. If I send it to the Prince's Mansion rashly and let my second brother know, your situation will be even more difficult. I have no choice but to give you the medicine."
His eyebrows trembled slightly, and then he choked out a low sob, "I thought you wouldn't give me the antidote."
"It's a fair swap. Okay, you can go back now."
"Fair? Not fair! Do you know how much I have suffered for you?"
Qiaomei took a few steps forward and hugged Shangguan Jinghong tightly. The trembling she felt at that moment also passed through Qiaochu's heart.
"We exchanged antidotes, but the prince didn't think so. He beat me the day I returned from Prince Xia's mansion... He has also beaten me these past few days..."
Shangguan Jinghong pushed her away, but did not leave. She frowned slightly, turned around, raised her eyebrows and her eyes were red, and slowly took off her veil.
The two of them stood sideways, and Qiaochu could clearly see Qiaomei's face.
The corner of the mouth was broken, red and bruised, and the left cheek was also swollen...
"I know it was you back then. I know you have feelings for me, right?"
She raised her eyebrows and whispered, snuggling into Shangguan Jinghong's arms again.
Shangguan Jinghong was slightly startled. He let his hands hang down by his side without moving, but he also did not push away the raised eyebrows.
What back then.
Do they have a past relationship
When a chill slowly fell from her eyes to her nose, Qiaochu's heart ached. She reached out and touched her chest. In her blurred vision, she suddenly saw Shangguan Jinghong fiercely push Qiaochu away and said coldly: "Tell me what you want, and I will compensate you within my ability. That's all."
As he said this, he quickly ran out of the garden without looking back.
"No, you have feelings for me, I know, I know..."
She raised her eyebrows and cried hoarsely for a long time, holding the veil in her hand. She put it on with gritted teeth and quickly walked out of the garden.
…
"Outstanding..."
After forcing the hand that released him and then held his hand, Qiaochu took a deep breath, wiped his eyes with both hands, and said with a smile: "Jingcong, when he is in a mess, let him be alone for a while, okay?"
"Don't bother getting the antidote for me. Don't let it affect your relationship with... Concubine Zhuang. My illness cannot be cured. It won't get better."
…
Shangguan Jingcong did not chase after him again.
Qiaochufang slowly stopped and looked around, finding that he had unknowingly run to Mochou Lake.
"Master, don't be angry. Your health is the most important. We must get King Xia's antidote!" The beauty was flustered. She spoke softly with red eyes and patted her shoulders tightly.
"Prince Rui... he doesn't like that woman Qiaomei, he just gave her the antidote."
The beauty kept comforting her in a low voice, and Qiaochu felt bitter in her heart. Yes, should she be glad that Shangguan Jinghong finally pushed Qiaomei away? But when Qiaomei touched him, he must have felt something, otherwise, with his resolute personality, he would not have pushed her away immediately.
And Concubine Zhuang...
What is their relationship
…
When she finally suppressed all her grief and returned to Concubine Zhuang's bedroom with the help of the beauty, she saw everyone standing outside the palace with anxious looks. Concubine Zhuang, Qiaomei and Shangguan Jingcong had all returned, but Shangguan Jinghong, Prince Ning and some princes were missing.
As soon as she saw her, the Seventh Princess cried out in surprise and stamped her feet, "Sister Qiao, where have you been? Why did you come back just now? You really made the Eighth Master very anxious."
"Oh, what about him?"
Qiaochu asked calmly.
The Seventh Princess was stunned. Although Qiaochu was not enthusiastic in her interactions with others, she was very gentle in her words and did not put on airs. She, the Sixth Princess, and the Tenth Princess were all trying their best to befriend Qiaochu. On the one hand, they were afraid of King Rui and were still worried about the past, but on the other hand, they really wanted to be close to Qiaochu. She knew that if Qiaochu really wanted to make a fuss about what happened last time, they would all suffer a great loss, and they had no intention of revenge. Now seeing her cold expression and a hint of pain between her eyebrows, she was a little scared and did not dare to talk to her.
Yin Ping was a little dissatisfied and snorted, "Eighth sister-in-law, everyone is waiting for you to serve the meal. You have to remember the time when you go out for a walk, right?"
She was about to say something else, but saw a cold gaze coming at her. It was Shangguan Jingcong. She gritted her teeth and turned her head away.
At this time, Concubine Zhuang also smiled faintly, "It's good that Concubine Qiao is back. After all, this palace is too small to accommodate a Bodhisattva. Come in."
"That's right. My third sister used to herd horses and sheep in the north, so she is used to the vast deserts and marshes."
A voice followed with a chuckle.
Everyone felt awkward when they saw Concubine Zhuang making sarcastic remarks and Qiaomei joining in the conversation. They didn't want to offend either side, and many people secretly looked at Qiaochu's hands, and indeed saw calluses on them.
The beauty looked at everyone's gazes, and was about to respond with a slap in the face, but Qiaochu held out her hand to stop her. She looked at Concubine Zhuang and Qiaochu, "So the queen also thinks this place is too small, well, Qiaochu will go back to herd horses and sheep."
She turned and walked away, but a low, angry voice behind her interrupted her, "Qiaochu, where have you been?"
374
That tone of voice—.
Who else is there besides Shangguan Jinghong
She turned around slowly, and saw him striding towards her with a number of imperial guards. Not far away, Prince Ning and several princes also led their imperial guards. They must be going to look for her. No wonder he was angry. Now it was more than half an hour before dinner time.
However, the fire and worry in his eyes did not bring her the sweetness of the past, but a sudden weariness.
She saw the envious looks of the women next to her, and even Concubine Zhuang and Qiaomei were staring at her.
In the eyes of others, it was Prince Rui's nervousness and doting that temporarily ignored her rudeness to Concubine Zhuang. However, she became more and more tired. When Shangguan Jinghong finally held her hands tightly and asked her again angrily, the clarity in her heart dripped out like water.
She knows what she wants, no matter how hard it has been to get to where she is today.
She met his gaze calmly and replied in an equally calm tone, "I just went to an abandoned garden and saw two beautiful birds playing there. I was so engrossed in watching them that I forgot the time."
The weight held in my wrist suddenly fell down.
"Master, I will take my leave first."
She just managed to get away and when she turned slightly to the side, she saw Shangguan Jingcong frowning slightly, his body swaying with his raised eyebrows. Even an experienced Concubine Zhuang's face changed color.
After a few steps, Shangguan Jinghong's voice came from behind, "Mother, Qiaochu is feeling unwell. Jinghong will take her back first. Sorry."
In fact, Shangguan Jinghong did not go back home with her, but Laotie followed her all the way, probably on orders. She didn't know where Shangguan Jinghong went.
That answer did not carry much emotion, more so, she did not want to give herself the opportunity to hesitate, to remain silent in order to maintain the happiness of these days.
She had thought that maybe they could talk when they got back.
She asked the beauty to go back to the courtyard, but the beauty was reluctant at first. However, seeing her determination, she gritted her teeth and retreated - because the boss had found many maids to guard the door, and Fang Ming also came over in person.
She forced herself to eat something and go to sleep.
Can't sleep.
My consciousness is a little groggy.
In the dim light, people kept coming in to see her.
It seems to be Fang Ming.
Is he afraid that something might happen to her? Why doesn't he come in person
She didn't know how long it had been, her consciousness became more and more blurred, she heard a burst of hurried footsteps rushing in, the quilt was then lifted up, and she was suddenly hugged into someone's arms.
With such a strong action and that familiar aura, who else could it be other than the master of this palace
"I just went there to bring her medicine."
Shangguan Jinghong's voice was low and rough and fell into her ears, with a very hurried tone.
She slowly opened her eyes and struggled out of his arms. He didn't want to force her, so he slowly let her go, but his hands were still on her shoulders. She shook her head and smiled, and said in a low voice: "Jinghong, I can deliver the medicine, and so can Uncle Tie and even Concubine Zhuang... You actually want to go see her in your heart... to see if she's okay."
Having said this, she suddenly paused and suddenly realized, how can they continue the conversation after saying this.
As expected, Shangguan Jinghong's expression changed, but then she shook her head, pinching her with her big hands until it hurt, "It's not like that, Qiaochu, listen to me..."
His brows were very twisted, he suddenly stopped talking, kissed her hard on the lips, then turned around and walked out quickly.
Qiaochu sat on the bed in a daze until Qin Dongning appeared in front of her after an unknown amount of time.
"Sister Qiao, I'll take you to a place."
Qin Dongning frowned and looked at her cautiously.
…
The driver is Lao Tie.
After driving for a while, when Qin Dongning led her out of the car, the sky was full of stars.
It’s a vast wilderness.
The ground was covered with grass and sand, and there was a river not far away. On the other side of the river, there was a village.
There were several tents on the grass, and a rack in front of the tents. Under the rack, there was a bonfire burning with the fragrance of wood, and on the rack, half a lamb was roasted. On the ground, there were also many wine and tea sets. Sitting cross-legged around them were people she was familiar with, including several people from Prince Ning and Prince Rui's mansion, except for Shen Qingling who had not come.
Well, Shangguan Jinghong also didn’t come.
She was led over by Dong Ning with doubt in her heart. When she sat down, Pei Lan handed her a cup of tea. King Ning looked at her and said, "Qiaochu, maybe you would like to hear a story from a few years ago?"
His expression was not as playful as usual, but rather serious.
Although Qiaochu was full of surprise, he still nodded and stopped thinking about Shangguan Jinghong for the time being.
Everyone was very quiet and listened carefully to King Ning's words, even though Qiao Chu saw a look on their faces that seemed to indicate they already knew what was going on.
"Six or seven years ago, your department welcomed a distinguished guest. Do you remember who it was?"
"Prince."
"No, not the prince, but... Old Eight."
…
The burning branches made crackling sounds, and amid this soothing sound, Queen Ning spoke of things that happened in the north many years ago - things that she had experienced.
Everyone looked at her with hidden joy in their eyes, and Qiaochu understood their thoughts and intentions. But the trembling in her body was not because of what they thought was forgiveness or sympathy for Shangguan Jinghong, but because she really didn't expect that from the beginning it was not someone else, but him.
The proton, the tower, and the boy's unruly and evil eyes suddenly became clear in her mind.
She suddenly thought, if they had known each other's identity at the beginning, would the process have been changed? They would have known and cherished each other from the beginning, and would not have been walking on thin ice after all the scars they have now.
She stood up slowly, only to see a man slowly walking out of the nearest tent.
Shangguan Jinghong
He frowned and looked at her deeply, with a hint of tension in his eyes. Even though his hands were clenched together, he still kept walking until he reached her.
"Qiaochu, I really want to meet her. She risked her life to save me back then. Fifth brother and the others all know about this. I'm not lying to you."
Qiaochu's heart was filled with confusion. After a long while, Shangguan Jinghong reached out and pinched her chin. She laughed at herself, and her eyes became darker. She finally said in a low voice, "Then be my woman. Mei'er, if one day I ascend to the throne, I will marry you with the most expensive betrothal gift in the world."

The hand on her face suddenly fell down, just like in Concubine Zhuang
