The prince lightly touched the vermilion coral-like tree with his fingertips, and asked, "What is this?"
The imperial doctor bowed and replied, "My lord, the name of this tree 'Insect Biting' does not mean that it can eat insects, but because the fragrance it emits can drive away snakes, insects, rats and ants. This tree originally grew in miasma filled with poisonous insects. Nanyang, which is everywhere, is a must-have for Nanyang merchants, but it has been extinct in recent years because the wood is too fragile and difficult to cultivate. Drilled out from the nostrils and found another place to settle down. It was also delivered in time. If the leech enters the brain in half a month, I am afraid... "
Realizing that he had said something wrong, the imperial physician hurriedly rescued her, "Your Majesty is indeed an auspicious person with her own natural appearance. I will write a few prescriptions for nourishing blood and nourishing Qi, and after a few months of careful treatment according to the prescriptions, everything will be fine."
"Very good, bring a pen and paper." The prince waved his sleeves at Nanny Song who was standing in the corner.
Nanny Song immediately handed over the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, her fingers were still trembling, obviously frightened. The prince leaned into the arms of the princess, sniffed the small vermilion tree carefully, raised his face and asked the princess, "Zhen'er, see if Gu has a nosebleed?"
The concubine was amused by him, stroking his hair on the temples and said softly, "No, the prince is of the blood of a real dragon, how can a demon be close to him."
The prince's eyes darkened, and he sighed, "The blood of a real dragon is nothing more than a body of flesh and blood. If Xiang'er hadn't sent this thing by chance, who would have thought that a small bug could take people's lives without anyone noticing it. "
"Exactly, Xiang'er is my concubine's little lucky star. Her legs and feet are inconvenient and she is frightened. It is really my concubine who has treated her badly."
"In the future, you will make up for her." The prince put the messy hair on the side of the princess's cheeks behind his ears, and when the imperial doctor finished writing, he said in a low voice, "This matter is vicious and strange, Gu and Yi Feng need to find out the truth. You should arrange it earlier, and Gu will go first."
The princess also wanted to catch the murderer as soon as possible, so she didn't want to keep him.
The prince came out of the room, winked at Yu Pinyan, and then told the waiting female relatives, "The princess is depressed, you go in and take a look and then go back, don't bother too much."
The two went straight to the study room, and the imperial doctor followed closely holding the teacup.
All the female relatives said yes, and sent off the prince and Yu Dutong respectfully with low eyebrows, and immediately entered the house to visit. Min Lan was at the forefront, and Concubine Xu stumbled heavily when crossing the threshold, her calm expression burst instantly, revealing deep panic.
Nanny Song came out with two court ladies, bent down and lifted Yu Xiang's wheelchair over the threshold, and thanked her in a low voice with tears in her eyes, causing Yu Xiang to look at her several times inexplicably.
The princess had already changed into a clean white dress, and the cotton balls on the ground were cleaned up. The windows on all sides were all open, and the cool breeze was blowing in, carrying the fragrance of the vermilion sapling everywhere. Such a scene is really quiet and comfortable, and from the perspective of the crown princess's bright and divine eyes, there is no lingering state.
Min Lan couldn't hide what was on her mind, the corners of her mouth were as stiff as she could be, but it was Concubine Xu who hurried forward to serve the Crown Princess to drink her medicine, with the word 'joy' written on every smile line on her face.
The crown princess's sharp gaze swept across everyone's faces one by one, and she waved her hand and sighed, "I'm tired, Xiao Jiu and Xiang'er stay here, and the rest of you should leave. I came to visit in the middle of the night, fortunately You guys, in the future when I get better, I will come to the door to thank you personally."
Everyone didn't even dare to say anything, they squatted down and saluted, and then filed out. The princess' cold expression immediately softened, she smiled and waved to the two little girls, "Come here, are you scared today?"
"Scared to death!" As expected of being sisters for many years, the two answered in unison, even rubbing their chests in the same way.
The concubine's mood became more and more relaxed. After experiencing such a sinister calculation, she fell in love with the innocent Princess Ninth and the straightforward Yu Xiang to the bottom of her heart.
After eating the sweet bird's nest, the pale cheeks of the two of them slowly flushed, and the frowning brows also relaxed. The Ninth Princess asked without hesitation, "Sister-in-law Huang, what disease did you suffer from? Are you really cured?"
"It's just a slight ailment on my body. Now that the lesions have been healed, it's great. It's also thanks to the 'Insect Biting' sent by Xiang'er." The crown princess patted Yu Xiang's soft hair.
"Insect bite? What is that?" Yu Xiang blinked her big eyes.
"Here, that's insect bite, that's what Nanyang people call it. This thing can dispel sickness and evil spirits, and it is a rare treasure in the world." The princess pointed to the potted plant placed beside the bed.
Yu Xiang suddenly realized that she nodded, with neither emotion nor regret on her face, which made the Crown Princess smile softly.
The ninth princess put down the bowl and reached out to get the potted plant. The princess hurriedly supported it, and Nanny Song and the two big maids also raised their hands to continue below, for fear that she might accidentally drop the treasure.
Ninth Princess is a winkless person, clumsily turning the potted plant, salivating, "It smells so good, can I eat it?"
"Can't eat." The crown princess covered her mouth and smiled lightly.
Yu Xiang sighed, "If I knew this thing was so useful, I shouldn't have lowered the price when the sea merchant sold it to me. I bought a pack of seeds for only two taels of silver, although I only planted this pot , Speaking of it, I still took advantage of it."
As if realizing that she had given such a cheap gift, and even said it in front of the master, she coughed in embarrassment, her eyeballs dribbling towards the face of the princess.
The Crown Princess likes Yu Xiang's frankness, and what's more, the gift is a heartfelt gift, so she doesn't know how to deal with it because the gift is too expensive. Although the potted plant only cost two taels of silver, it bought back her life. This kindness is enough for her to remember for a lifetime, and she smiled immediately, "It's not that you took advantage of it, but this palace took advantage of it. In the future, this palace will get it." Novelty plants or seeds are sent to you."
Yu Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to refuse, when a baby's loud cry came through the cubicle. Just after avoiding death, the Crown Princess was at her most vulnerable and emotional moment, so she immediately asked Nanny Song to bring the two children.
The little Huangsun's facial features have grown, and his whole body is covered with soft and tender fat like lotus root joints. He looks very jade and snowy. The princess hugged one in each hand, screaming heartily, and thinking that she was almost separated from her husband and children forever because of being murdered by a traitor, tears could not stop falling down.
The two children seemed to have a feeling in their hearts, and the crying gradually became quieter, and they babbled and babbled, and the chubby hands gently patted the mother's face.
"Your Majesty, don't cry, the little grandson is comforting you." Nanny Song handed over a handkerchief.
The crown princess returned the child to the nanny, took the handkerchief to wipe away tears, and saw the nine princesses and Yu Xiang staring at the pair of Lin'er with wide-eyed eyes without blinking, and asked with a smile, "Want to hug? Let the nanny teach Teach you how to hold a child, and you will be almost ready in two years."
If it weren't for someone close to her, the Crown Princess would never make such a joke. Yu Xiang and Jiu Gongzhu didn't blush at all, they stretched out their hands together and stared at the nanny eagerly. The nanny seemed to be facing a formidable enemy, while explaining the correct posture of holding the child in detail, while carefully putting the little grandson into the arms of the two.
The children were tired from crying, and they fell asleep with sparkling tears still sticking to the corners of their eyes. They smacked their small mouths from time to time, making baji baji sounds, their cute appearance melted their hearts.
Yu Xiang was reluctant to let go as soon as she got started, she lowered her head and gently rubbed the little emperor's grandson's fleshy cheeks with milk fragrance with the tip of her nose. The black threads protruding from the little Huangsun's nostrils. She stretched out her hand to twist it and asked in surprise, "Madam, why did the little Huangsun inhale a piece of thread in his nostrils? Do you want to ask the imperial doctor to come over and take a look?"
The ninth princess over there also said, "My little niece also has it in her nose."
The princess concubine and Nanny Song were pale, as if struck by lightning, they froze for a moment.
However, Yu Xiang was hit harder than the two of them, because she had twirled the end of the thread between her index finger and thumb, and found that the end of the thread was wriggling slightly, and the pointed end was still sniffing and licking on her fingertips. , seems to be looking for a good place to start.
This is not a thread, but it is a leech looking for blood. Yu Xiang is not afraid of anything, and the thing he fears most in his two lives is bugs. She felt that her soul and body had been separated: holding the little emperor's grandson in her body, she said calmly, "Princess and concubine, this does not seem to be a thread, but a leech. The little emperor's grandson crawled into the nostril of a leech."
But the soul frantically scratched its hair and screamed, "This is a leech! How can a leech crawl into a human body? It's terrible! Brother, come and save me!"
When she thought she would freeze into a stone statue, Nanny Song picked up the leeches stuck to her fingertips with a needle, put them into the teacup, and rushed out of the room with her skirt up, shouting all the way, " Imperial physician, where is the imperial physician? Find the imperial physician quickly!"
The Ninth Princess didn't know, so the Crown Princess had snatched the child into her arms, wrapped her tightly in a quilt, and burst into tears. There was a moment of chaos in the room. The prince came in a hurry, first asked the two little girls out of the room, and ordered the imperial doctor to examine the children carefully, and even moved the potted plant to the children's heads. Thinking about something.
As soon as Yu Xiang came out of the room, she asked the maid to bring a basin of water and rubbed her fingers vigorously. The sticky feeling of insects wriggling on her fingertips could not be washed off no matter what, and her skin became inexplicably itchy, and there was nowhere to scratch it. , heartburn.
The ninth princess guarded the door of the room and refused to leave, and the maid took Miss Yu to the side hall to wait at the order of the prince. But Yu Xiang didn't dare to stay in the mansion for too long, she always felt that bugs were crawling everywhere, and they wanted to burrow into her flesh suddenly. She ordered someone to carry her out of the mansion, and Tao Hong Liu Lu who was waiting at the door hurriedly carried her into the carriage, and seeing her trembling, she covered her with a thin quilt.
What Yu Pinyan saw when he boarded the carriage was a girl with disheveled hair and disheveled clothes. Because the girl broke out in a cold sweat, the strong scent of flowers came to her face with the opened curtain, making her eyes warm and her heart beating, and her mouth dry.
