At this moment, Feng Xiaoran did not know that his herb had already been stolen by a bird.

He had the habit of taking medicinal baths, especially after autumn. For this reason, he specially built a large bathhouse and dug a small white jade bath.

He relaxed and soaked in the hot pool, fantasizing that Zhuge Qing would die in pain and that everything that was snatched away by Zhuge Qing would return to his hands.

No, it was more than that.

He would accept all the connections and forces that Zhuge Qing had accumulated over the years, including the Black Armored Army.

“I’m really looking forward to it.’

Su Xiaoxiao was waiting for news in Yuwen Xi’s room.

The young Princess of Western Jin secretly pushed open the door and glanced in. “Qin Su.”

“Little Princess.” Su Xiaoxiao turned around and saw her.

The young Princess of Western Jin pushed the door open and gently closed it.

“Qin Su, don’t worry. No one discovered me.”

Su Xiaoxiao smiled.

It would be strange it no one discovered it. However, the Western Jin Emperor had turned a blind eye now. Other than Yuwen Yi’s courtyard, Yuwen Xincould do whatever she wanted.

Yuwen Xin sat down beside Su Xiaoxiao. “Qin Su, are you waiting for my mother?”

Su Xiaoxiao nodded.

“Moxie just told me that he wants to go out with my mother.” Yuwen Xin did not understand what was going on between adults. She just felt that it was not good for her mother to go out and leave Qin Su alone, so she decided to come over and accompany her.

“Qin Su, how’s my brother’s condition? When can I see him?”

Su Xiaoxiao said to her, “Soon. When the young prince’s smallpox recovers, you can see him.”

“That’s great!” The young princess held Su Xiaoxiao’s arm. ‘Qin Su, fortunately, you came. Otherwise, I might not have a brother.”

Su Xiaoxiao comforted her. “The young Princess is a good person. You’ll be fine.”

The two of them chatted for a while before Yuwen Xi and Moxie returned.

Yuwen Xi took off her cloak and looked at Su Xiaoxiao and her daughter. She said to Moxie, “Go out with Xin’er.”

She had something to say to Su Xiaoxiao alone.

“Yes.” Moxie brought the young princess out.

Yuwen Xi placed the brocade box on the table, not with Su Xiaoxiao, but in front of her.

Su Xiaoxiao roughly understood what had happened.

She looked at Yuwen Xi. “Your Highness.”

Yuwen Xi said seriously, “What’s your relationship with Zhuge Qing?”

It seemed that Yuwen Xi already knew that Zhuge Qing needed this herb.

Su Xiaoxiao’s expression was very calm. She did not feel guilty or flustered. She asked, “Did Feng Xiaoran tell Your Highness?”

Feng Xiaoran was Zhuge Qing’s sworn enemy. No, he was Feng Xiaoran’s self-proclaimed sworn enemy. From the beginning to the end, Zhuge Qing had never treated him as an opponent.

Feng Xiaoran had been investigating Zhuge Qing. She remembered that Mei Ji had said that Feng Xiaoran had an apothecary under him. Perhaps they had seen Zhuge Qing’s medical case and guessed his condition.

There was one thing that Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t figure out. This kind of cold illness was very rare. Even the imperial physicians were helpless. How did that medicine master know that that particular herb could treat the illness? Yuwen Xi said coldly, “It’s him. It’s your turn to answer me.”

Su Xiaoxiao lowered her eyes and sighed. “Your father asked me to treat Zhuge

Qing.”

Yuwen Xi was stunned. “What?”

Su Xiaoxiao said in a low voice, “Although His Majesty didn’t tell me who the patient was, he showed me the other party’s medical case. He’s not well and is someone His Majesty thinks highly of. Other than Zhuge Qing, I can’t guess who else.”

Of course, Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t expose Zhuge Qing’s true identity. At this moment, she just had to push the blame to the Western Jin Emperor.

“If Your Highness doesn’t believe me, you can enter the palace to ask. I believe that with Your Highness’s ability, it won’t be difficult to investigate this matter.”

Yuwen Xi frowned. “Yesterday, Xin’er said that Eunuch He came to look for you to enter the palace for this?”

Su Xiaoxiao said gloomily, “Half of it is for Zhuge Qing, and the other half is to ask about the young Royal Prince’s condition. I showed a look of rejection yesterday, and today, His Majesty sent someone over with Eunuch He and gave me a double deposit. I’m not doing it all for the money. I’m just worried that His Majesty is so determined. If I reject him, I might offend His Majesty.” Yuwen Xi asked, “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”

Su Xiaoxiao hesitated. “Firstly, I’m only guessing that it’s Zhuge Qing. There’s no evidence. Secondly…”

Yuwen Xi said calmly, “Secondly, you’re also worried that I won’t help you..”
