Translator: Atlas Studios      Editor: Atlas Studios

On the way to the palace, Su Xiaoxiao tried her best to reduce her presence and sat quietly beside Yin Xiaodie.

The little princess was two years younger than Yin Xiaodie and was at the age where she was curious about everything. Inevitably, she noticed Su Xiaoxiao.

“Xiaodie, who is she?”

“Princess, you should call me the Saintess now,” Yin Xiaodie corrected her. The little princess readily changed her words. “Alright, Saintess, who is she?”

Yin Xiaodie said, “Her name is Ye Sui. She’s a new disciple of the Holy Maiden Temple. Princess, you saw her yesterday.”

Yesterday, Yin Xiaodie entered the palace to take the pulse of the King of the Southern Wilderness with Ye Sui.

“But she’s not the one from yesterday,” the little princess said seriously.

Yin Xiaodie’s heart skipped a beat.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and stretched out a hand. “Princess is right. Yesterday, it was the mortal, Ye Sui. Today, it’s the fairy. If you don’t believe me, look.”

As she spoke, she flipped her fingertip and a beautiful red silk flower appeared in her palm.

The Little Princess’s eyes widened in surprise. “Wow!”

Su Xiaoxiao twisted her wrist and another yellow silk flower bloomed.

One by one, seven flowers bloomed.

“For the Princess.’ She smiled.

The Little Princess clapped and accepted the seven silk flowers. “I like the fairy Ye sui!”

Yin Xiaodie heaved a sigh of relief.

This girl looked ordinary in terms of intelligence. Who would have thought that she would recognize someone so accurately?

Fortunately, Cheng Su knew tricks.

This way, even if the Little Princess told others that the Ye Sui today was not the Ye Sui from yesterday, others would only think that it was because Ye Sui was playing a fairy.

When she was young, her father often played with her like this.

Of course, her father was not pretending to be a fairy.

There were many beautiful flowers in the Little Princess’s bedroom. In comparison, these seven silk flowers were simply ordinary.

But they were conjured by a fairy.

The Little Princess cherished them and couldn’t bear to part with them.

Su Xiaoxiao conjured another flower and handed it to Yin Xiaodie. “You have one too.”

Yin Xiaodie blinked and said seriously, “I don’t play with such stuff. Childish!”

Although she said that, she still looked like she had been forced to accept it and carefully put it into her sleeve.

She even rolled up her sleeves, out of fear that she would break it.

Su Xiaoxiao wanted to pinch her face again. With the Little Princess here, she held back.

The group entered the palace.

The Third Prince’s carriage was in front.

After he got out of the carriage, he came over to carry the Little Princess out.

The little princess waved her hand and refused. “I don’t want Third Brother to carry me. I want rge fairy to carry me!”

The Third Prince looked puzzled.

Su Xiaoxiao got out of the carriage and carried the Little Princess down.

The Little Princess was the same age as Wei Xiyue and was innocent. When she did not cause trouble, she was quite liked.

Third Young Master’s gaze landed on Su Xiaoxiao’s pretty face.

For some reason, he was unconsciously attracted to her beautiful eyes. He felt that this face was not worthy of this pair of soul-stirring eyes.

“Third Brother, Third Brother!”

The Little Princess shook his hand unhappily. “I asked you to look at flowers. Where are you looking?”

The Third Prince came back to his senses and looked at the silk flowers in her arms. He said in disdain, “Who bought them? They’re so ugly.”

The Little Princess was furious. “A fairy gave them to me! How are they ugly? I’m finished with Third Brother!”

She ran away angrily.

The Third Prince could only chase after her.

When he caught up to this little sister from the same mother and turned around to look at Su Xiaoxiao, she was long gone.

Su Xiaoxiao and Yin Xiaodie went to see the King of the Southern Wilderness.

The King of the Southern Wilderness was busy with work today. He only returned to Chengde Hall from the Imperial Study at dusk.

Yin Xiaodie brought Su Xiaoxiao to bow to the King of the Southern Wilderness.

Xie Jinnian glanced at the two of them.

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t know if it was an illusion, but she felt his gaze linger on her face for two seconds.

The King of the Southern Wilderness sat down on a chair.

Yin Xiaodie went forward to take the Dulse of the King of the Southern Border.

Although she was only nine years old, to be able to pass the strict Holy Selection. This was enough to show that she had the talent of a young divine doctor. Not to mention that there had been several powerful witch doctors in the Yin family.

Su Xiaoxiao was a disciple now and was not qualified to take the pulse of the King of the Southern Wilderness.

However, if she did not take his pulse, it would be difficult to determine the King’s condition.

Yin Xiaodie said to the King of the Southern Wilderness, “Your Majesty, please allow me to take your pulse.”

She did not make this up. The Yin family did have an ancestral acupuncture method. However, it was actually fine to operate alone according to the method.

Yin Xiaodie said to Su Xiaoxiao, “Ye Sui, come here.”

Su Xiaoxiao came to the other side of the King of the Southern Wilderness with a respectful attitude.

Yin Xiaodie said, “Hold His Majesty’s pulse. Let go when I tell you to.” Su Xiaoxiao nodded and placed her finger on the King’s wrist.

Yin Xiaodie took out a silver needle, rolled up the cuff of the King’s left arm, and began to methodically search for acupuncture points.

Su Xiaoxiao took the opportunity to take the pulse of the King of the Southern Wilderness.

The reason was that his pulse had sunk, and his illness was inside.

Soon, she checked his slow pulse again.

The slow pulse was yin, and its illness was cold.

Generally speaking, it was not strange for a person to have multiple pulses.

The strange thing was that Su Xiaoxiao had checked his frequent pulse.

Multiple meridians usually pointed to the internal organs. His illness was hot and attributed to Yang.

Logically speaking, two completely opposite pulses would not appear at the same time.

This was the first time Su Xiaoxiao had seen such a strange pulse in her two lives.

No wonder Yin Xiaodie was vexed. If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn’t have believed it.

Su Xiaoxiao retracted her hand.

Yin Xiaodie also pulled out the needle in time. “I’ll go get medicine for His

Majesty.”

There were imperial physicians in the palace and there were all kinds of medicinal herbs.

On the way to get the medicine, Yin Xiaodie asked Su Xiaoxiao, “Did you discover anything?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “His Majesty’s condition is strange.”

Yin Xiaodie asked, “What do you mean?”

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t hide anything and said truthfully, “Your Majesty’s main illness is Yin. The medicine isn’t right, causing the two auras in Your Majesty’s body to clash.”

Yin Xiaodie frowned. “I’ve seen His Majesty’s prescription. There’s nothing wrong.”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “What you see is what you can see. Perhaps His Majesty has taken other immortal pills in private.”

Yin Xiaodie pondered and said, “Your Majesty… is indeed taking a kind of immortality pill, but I don’t have the pill formula.”

Could the immortality pill… be related to that person in the mine?

Su Xuan had said that the King of the Southern Wilderness in the palace had a strange illness and needed that person’s blood as a medicinal catalyst once a month.

In the imperial garden, the Third Prince stood under the moonlight.

The Queen of the Southern Wilderness was beautiful, so his appearance was naturally not bad.

A palace maid lowered her head and walked forward. She bowed shyly. “Your Highness.”

If Su Xiaoxiao and Yin Xiaodie were here, they would definitely discover that she was the Little Princess’s personal palace maid.

The Third Prince did not seem to notice the admiration in her eyes. He said with a gentle smile, “Do you know where the female disciple who entered the palace with Saintess Yin today is?”

The palace maid replied, “Your Highness, I bumped into her and Saintess Yin near the imperial physician just now.”

The Third Prince smiled and said, “Invite her over. Tell her that the Little

Princess is looking for her.”

The palace maid hesitated for a moment and felt that this was inappropriate, but she did not want to disappoint the Third Prince. “Don’t worry, Third Prince. I’ll definitely bring her here!”

The Third Prince was very satisfied.

Since the other party was from the Holy Maiden Temple, it was a little troublesome.

However, he was his father’s favorite son.

As long as he did not taint the Saintess and the elders, his father would not blame him.

On the other side, Wei Xu brought Wei Ting into the palace.

The palace of the Southern Wilderness was heavily guarded, but an expert of Wei Xu’s realm could come and go as he pleased.

Wei Ting had always yearned to be brought flying by his father like his brothers.

Tonight, he finally experienced it.

“Ugh…

He fell to his knees and vomited.

Wei Ting’s handsome hair had long been blown into an indescribable hairstyle.

There was something wrong with the direction of a strand of hair. Wei Xu lovingly straightened it with his internal force..
