Princess Liukua said this with deep meaning, and then left with her people. However, when she passed by Princess Yanqing, she smiled with a bit of sarcasm. Although she didn't know her, she could roughly guess her identity. After all, the costumes of each country have their own characteristics. Naturally, she looked down on someone like Princess Yanqing.
Such looks naturally irritated Princess Yanqing greatly. However, the other party had more people and more power. Because she always followed Fan Wuguo, the entire Xichi delegation was dissatisfied. It was really embarrassing for a princess to behave like this. However, no one cared about her. If she was really capable, it was not impossible for her to marry into Qi Chao. Then, when she went out, there were only a few kittens following her. How could she be compared with the princess of Liuqi
Especially when the other party suddenly swung a whip at Princess Yanqing, and it was aimed at her face. Princess Yanqing screamed and dodged in fear, but the whip just brushed past the side of her face. Princess Yanqing's reaction made the other party laugh.
Princess Yanqing almost jumped up in anger, but when the opponent raised the whip, she shrank back in fear. This time, not only the princess laughed, but everyone behind her also laughed wildly.
Princess Yanqing lost face for her boss and felt ashamed, angry and hateful.
Before leaving, Princess Liuqi looked back at Xiaocao and the others, making it clear that she was just using Princess Yanqing to make a demonstration.
"I usually don't bother with women, but this woman makes me want to slap her." Fan Wuguo really felt itchy.
Xiaocao looked sideways at him, not knowing what to say to him for a moment.
Fan Wuguo was puzzled, "Sister, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?" He even touched it subconsciously.
"Actually, I think that before you say this to others, you could look in the mirror first." Xiaocao said "tactfully".
Upon hearing this, Fan Wuguo almost swore, and then said with resentment, "Sister, do you know that there is a saying that goes "help your relatives instead of the wise?"
"Yeah," Xiao Cao nodded, "It's okay to be a little hypocritical sometimes."
"Double standard?" Fan Wuguo was puzzled.
"Double standards. For example, for the same thing, if your young master did it because he is familiar with you, it is cute. But Liuqi is Qi Chao's enemy, so if Princess Liuqi did it, it is abominable." After explaining, Xiaocao turned around and went back to the Imperial Hospital.
This was clearly on his side, but why did Fan Wuguo still feel that his sister was teasing him
It seemed that this matter was over, at least for the time being.
However, there were people who never relaxed their surveillance on these people, such as Wei Tingyu, who naturally knew the details soon. Xichi in front had not noticed anything unusual for the time being, but Liu Qia made trouble as soon as he arrived. Was it a personal behavior or was he sent out to test Qi Chao? Of course, no matter what the reason was, since he found Xiaocao, Wei Tingyu would not have a good face.
Not long after, Wei Tingyu called someone over and sent him down with a few instructions.
The next day was Emperor Xuanren's fiftieth birthday. Even at this time, even if it was Liuge, it would naturally be treated seriously. Being arrogant and wanton outside the palace was at most a minor fight. If there was anything out of line at this time, it would be a real provocation.
When Xiaocao was dressing up, someone came to her door, and it was someone from the post station. What a coincidence, the patient was the Princess Liuqi from yesterday. Her title was "Lanqi". Apart from anything else, this title sounded very subtle, Lanqi, Nanqi... Qi Dynasty was originally located in the south of Liuqi.
If it were someone else, Xiao Cao might have anxiously asked about the situation, but now...
"I saw him yesterday, he was full of energy, how come he is sick today? Besides, I think you Liuqi also has a doctor with you, or you went to our Qi Dynasty's Imperial Hospital, how did you find me?" Xiaocao took a sip of tea slowly, "I have a lot of things to do on weekdays, and I am almost too busy to do anything. I have basically not taken on any patients in the past few months. Everyone in the imperial city knows it, so, if it is not a matter of life and death, go and ask the imperial physician. The imperial physicians of my Qi Dynasty are all very good in medical skills, and I think they should be more than enough to deal with the situation of your princess."
The Qi Dynasty official who came with them nodded and agreed with him. It was not a big deal, so why should they bother their Princess Anguo? Although she was a princess, their Princess Anguo was more noble.
The man who came from Xichi was not among Princess Lanqi's entourage yesterday. Although he knew a little about what happened yesterday, he was not very clear. However, now that they needed help from others, they did not dare to put on too high a profile.
"Princess, please allow me to report. Our princess tossed and turned last night and felt a little uncomfortable. The next night, her condition became worse. She vomited and had diarrhea, and red spots appeared on her face and hands. The condition became more serious as time went on. Our Liuqi doctor gave her medicine in time, but it didn't work. Later, we did invite the imperial physician from your country's Imperial Hospital to give her acupuncture, and then used medicine. Although there was some effect, it was not very obvious. Moreover, according to the maid, the red spots on our princess's body are also quite serious. Without a careful examination, it is difficult to judge her condition. So... I hope Princess Anguo will move."
Is this because of the unfamiliar climate? Under normal circumstances, this is understandable. After all, Liuqi is very different from Qichao. However, look at Princess Lanqi. She was in great spirits yesterday. They arrived the day before yesterday. It doesn't make sense that there would be problems almost a day later, right? Moreover, the journey is slow now. Under normal circumstances, there should be problems on the way. Cheng was confused and felt that something was wrong.
"Did your doctor tell the imperial physician what the illness is?"
"They all say that he may not be able to adapt to the local climate and soil."
In fact, the people of Liuqie had the same doubts as Xiaocao, but their princess brought everything except food from Liuqie, so there shouldn't be any problem. The food was shared with the prince, and for the sake of caution, the servants tried the dishes first. Everyone else was fine, so it was untenable to think that something had happened, and all the symptoms were consistent with the inability to adapt to the climate and water.
"In that case, I can't cure the disease immediately. Since you are not used to it, it will be fine after a few days of adaptation. It's not a big problem." Regardless of whether there is any reason for this, in Xiaocao's opinion, it is indeed not a big deal, so he decided not to go.
That was true, but Princess Lanqi was one of the think tanks of their delegation, and in some ways she had a heavy responsibility. Apart from anything else, today was Emperor Xuanren's birthday, and she was the highlight of Liuqie. How could she not be able to get up now? Moreover, this kind of disease takes a long time to recover. Some people may not be able to recover for several months, but after leaving and returning to their original place of life, they will recover immediately. Who knows what their princess's condition is? If she can't recover, wouldn't this trip be "wasted"
Let’s not talk about what happens later, at least we have to get through today.
The officials of Liuqi spoke sincerely and even mentioned Emperor Xuanren. It would be disrespectful if they did not attend.
Xiao Cao almost sarcastically said out loud, her expression becoming colder and colder, "My Lord and Princess, you are worrying too much. Father is extremely kind and tolerant. He is always considerate to his subjects and the common people. Your princess is feeling unwell, not intentional. Father will not blame you. Let your princess rest and recover from her illness."
Seeing that Xiaocao refused to listen, the officials of Liuqi could not help but feel angry. However, they also thought about the temperament of their Princess Lanqi, and wondered if they had offended her too much yesterday. Since they were in Qi Dynasty, they should have restrained themselves. Qi Dynasty was not some other small country. They were enemies to begin with, and they still dared to act arrogantly. They were asking for trouble. Now, retribution had come.
"Princess Anguo really doesn't want to take action?"
Xiao Cao laughed, "What are you saying? Are you threatening this princess?"
The eyes of the official of Qi Dynasty could not help but darken, "Princess Anguo, what you said is too serious. It's just that our princess has been raised in pampered since she was young, and has never suffered such pain. It's very painful to see. Now we don't ask for her to get better immediately, but only hope that her symptoms can be alleviated. So, Princess Anguo, please have mercy on her." His words were sincere and his attitude was very humble.
The official from the Qi Dynasty standing by wanted to say that this was the attitude of asking for help. If they had been like this earlier, perhaps their princess would have softened her heart from the beginning.
