Chu Yunning was caught off guard and received a slap in the face. His ears were buzzing and the corners of his mouth were numb. It took him a while to regain his senses.
"Prince Xiao, I have told you a long time ago that this woman has a vicious mind and cannot stay in the house, but you must be merciful!"
The eldest princess glared at Prince Xiao with a look of hatred.
King Xiao glanced at the broken corner of Chu Yunning's mouth, feeling a little distressed in his heart. With a smile on his face, he stepped forward and turned sideways to stand in front of Chu Yunning.
"What's the matter that deserves my aunt to be so angry? It's not worth getting so angry."
The eldest princess snorted coldly: "It's not all this evil that went to the prince's courtyard and knocked over the prince's medicine!"
Beibei touched the back of Chu Yunning's hand and explained abruptly: "Mom, I accidentally discovered that the medicine was wrong, so I knocked it over."
"So you are saving people instead of harming them?"
The Beibei chicken nodded like it was pecking at rice.
"Nonsense!" The eldest princess was furious and wanted to get past Prince Xiao to catch Beibei, but Prince Xiao was blocking him tightly. The eldest princess failed several times and had to take a step back.
"Listen, a child who is only four years old has been raised to tell lies. The prince has been taking medicine for so many years and is fine, but you discovered it. What do you know? How dare you make excuses after getting into trouble!"
The eldest princess became angrier and angrier as she talked, and even insulted Prince Xiao.
King Xiao said nothing, but still had a smile on his face.
"How did the eldest princess know that what Beibei said was a lie?" Chu Yunning couldn't stand it. She would not allow anyone to slander Beibei.
"Princess!" Prince Xiao chuckled: "Don't make aunt angry. There are many aunts who won't care about children."
However, Chu Yunning refused to accept the favor from Prince Xiao, and her attitude remained tough: "I believe Beibei will not lie. The eldest princess has this time to come to the palace to settle accounts, so it is better to find some imperial doctors to check it out."
"You!" The eldest princess clutched her heart and shouted sternly: "Can I still wrongly accuse you?"
Chu Yunning explained: "Beibei has been in poor health since he was a child. I have grown a lot of medicinal herbs in private. I can't say that I am proficient in medical skills. I can still recognize some common medicinal materials. Beibei has also learned a little bit about it. Although Beibei is young,
Xiao Ke never takes the initiative to cause trouble, so there must be a misunderstanding."
Prince Xiao suddenly remembered the herb garden planted in Lengxiang Garden and nodded to the eldest princess: "Aunt, I can confirm that the princess is not lying. Beibei can indeed identify some herbs."
"I think you have gone crazy and actually helped this vicious woman!" The eldest princess was so angry that she scolded King Xiao, and then said: "I think you are determined not to die until you reach the Yellow River. Someone is here.
Now, please ask Princess Xiao and this evildoer to go to the eldest princess’s mansion!”
"Wait a minute!" Chu Yunning pulled Beibei, and as she listened to her mouth, she was filled with anger: "If it can be proven that Beibei is right, please ask the eldest princess to apologize to Beibei."
"Just you?" the eldest princess sneered.
"Auntie, Beibei is the eldest son of this king, and his status is too noble to be trampled upon."
Prince Xiao said with a serious face.
Not only was the eldest princess stunned by this, but Chu Yunning was also very surprised. This was the first time that King Xiao defended Beibei in public.
The eldest princess felt a little timid when she saw Prince Xiao's cold and solemn eyes. She took a deep breath and said, "I am not an unkind person. If he discovers that the medicinal materials are different, it will be too late for me to thank him."
So, Chu Yunning took Beibei to the eldest princess's mansion again.
Prince Xiao also accompanied him, perhaps out of sympathy: "My aunt only targeted Beibei out of anxiety. Don't worry, with me here, I won't let my aunt hurt Beibei."
After hearing this, Chu Yunning's favorability towards Prince Xiao increased by one point.
Half an hour later, the carriage stopped. Unlike the eldest princess's mansion two hours ago, the bustle had dispersed, and the maids were cleaning up the mess.
The eldest princess went straight to Mo Shizi's yard.
Mo Shizi is the eldest son of the eldest princess. He is talented in literature and martial arts, wise and brave, modest and elegant, and is a handsome young man with high spirits.
Unfortunately, five years ago, I fell off my horse and my legs were trampled by the horse's hooves, causing me to fall unconscious on the spot.
When he woke up, he became crippled and could no longer stand up with his legs.
Today, the youngest grandson is the eldest son of the eldest princess's second son. To celebrate, the eldest princess held a grand banquet, but she forgot to let people guard Mo Shizi's yard, which happened to be exploited.
Mo Shizi is now unconscious and in critical condition.
The eldest princess was very anxious, but she could only act anxiously.
"Today's medicine contains Mingliezi, which is extremely cold medicine." Beibei whispered.
Chu Yunning: "Mom knows."
Several imperial doctors were studying the diagnosis cases in the corridor, and the maids walked out carrying basins of red water.
"The prince just woke up and vomited a lot of blood, and he couldn't stop it."
The maid was reporting to the eldest princess. The eldest princess staggered when she heard the words and almost fell down. Fortunately, the maid helped her in time.
Chu Yunning wondered, how could he vomit blood after hurting his leg?
"Where is the medicine dregs?" The eldest princess glared at Chu Yunning fiercely and asked someone to pass the medicine dregs over.
The maid quickly handed over a pile of medicinal dregs.
The eldest princess said angrily: "Today's medicine contains an extremely rare thousand-year-old snow lotus. It is the only one in the world. I finally found it, but you knocked over the medicine, causing the prince to fall ill without taking the medicine in time. I
I will never spare you lightly!"
Chu Yunning patted Beibei on the back shoulder: "Don't be afraid, my mother is here."
She carefully inspected the dregs of the medicine, which was a good medicine for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. It did contain a very precious snow lotus, as well as the Ming Lie Zi mentioned by Bei Bei.
One was cold and the other was hot. Fortunately, Prince Mo didn't drink it, otherwise his life would be in danger.
"Princess, I would like to hear what the imperial doctor has to say?"
At this time, an imperial doctor was called over: "Your Majesty, your Majesty has just improved in the past few days. Today's medicine is very crucial, but it's a pity..."
"Chu Yunning, what else do you have to say?" the eldest princess asked angrily.
"Then why is Mingliezi added to the medicine, and what is its purpose?"
Not having time to pay attention to the eldest princess's anger, Chu Yunning guessed the whole story. The medicine was indeed warming, but it could not cure Mo Shizi's leg.
It's just that some people saw that Mo Shizi's legs were improving, so they deliberately added Snow Lotus and Mingliezi. The two conflicted with each other, and even the gods of Daluo couldn't save it once they were taken.
"Snow lotus belongs to cold. The prince's legs have been unable to move for a long time, and the cold has already entered his body. Coupled with the extremely hot Mingliezi, what does it mean when one is cold and the other is hot?"
Chu Yunning pressed forward step by step, and the imperial doctor's forehead broke out in cold sweat as he asked.
"Yes... Snow lotus is too cold, so I added some Mingliezi to buffer the coldness."
It took the imperial doctor a long time to find a far-fetched reason.
Chu Yunning sneered and wanted to say more, but was interrupted by the eldest princess: "That's enough, stop messing around here. It's a fact that your son spilled the medicine. It delayed the prince's condition, and I can't spare you!"
"Auntie, it's just a snow lotus. I will order people to search for it as quickly as possible."
King Xiao stood up to smooth things over, but the eldest princess refused to appreciate it and pointed at Beibei: "The prince has a good deed, and I want him to be buried with him!"
"Eldest Princess, thousand-year-old snow lotus is nothing. I have ten thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum that can be used as medicine for the prince."
Chu Yunning suddenly softened his tone.
Upon hearing this, the imperial doctor immediately agreed: "If there is ten thousand years of Ganoderma lucidum, the prince's legs can be saved."
The eldest princess cried with joy and immediately said: "What are you waiting for? Take it out quickly!"
"Elder Princess, why are you anxious? Ganoderma lucidum won't grow legs and run away." Chu Yunning glanced at the several imperial doctors in the corridor unhurriedly: "I would like to ask the eldest princess to invite a few more doctors to re-examine the dregs of the medicine.
.”
After saying this, the imperial doctor looked guilty: "Princess Xiao, does she not trust me?"
"Yeah!" Chu Yunning said lightly, and the embarrassed imperial doctor's face turned red, and he was angry and angry.
"What are you making up again? Take out the Ganoderma lucidum first to make up for it, and we'll talk about the rest later." The eldest princess looked impatient.
"I spent a lot of money to buy Ganoderma lucidum just in case I need it in case of emergencies. How could I give it to someone else so easily?"
Chu Yunning had a clear attitude and asked someone to test the medicine. Beibei was delayed, so he offered Ganoderma lucidum with both hands.
If not, the eldest princess will have to spend money if she wants to get Ganoderma lucidum.
"You!" the eldest princess choked, and had no choice but to call the doctor.
To be honest, she would rather believe Prince Xiao than the eldest princess at this moment, so she glanced tentatively at Prince Xiao.
"Auntie, I know a private doctor with excellent medical skills, who may be able to help the prince's illness."
When Prince Xiao opened his mouth, he didn't give the eldest princess a chance to refuse, and directly asked his subordinates to invite someone.
The eldest princess snorted coldly, not revealing Prince Xiao's little thoughts.
After a while, a dozen doctors were invited. After observing the residue of the medicine, they all accused it of being a taboo for cooling and heating.
"Mingliezi and Mangosteen are very similar. Did the medicine boy who prescribed the medicine make a mistake? This is a big taboo."
"Ordinary people will feel weak after drinking it. If they get seriously ill, they may be so weak that they may never get up again."
The few people were talking to each other, and the eldest princess looked at the imperial doctor with increasingly fierce eyes.
"Weichen..." The imperial doctor's legs softened and he knelt on the ground: "Weichen just took a wrong approach and stimulated the prince's acupuncture points with the fragrance. This is an isolated recipe."
Even after this, the imperial doctor still refused to repent.
The eldest princess temporarily lost her patience and said to Chu Yunning: "Hurry up and hand over the Ganoderma lucidum."
"Did the eldest princess forget something?"
The eldest princess' expression froze, she glanced at Beibei in disgust, and spoke after a long time: "Thank you for finding out soon that I misunderstood you. I will definitely reward you heavily!"
Chu Yunning then smiled and took a brocade box from Bixiu's hand. Inside the box was an extremely well-preserved ten thousand year old Ganoderma lucidum.
"Quickly take it and make some medicine for the prince!" the eldest princess ordered impatiently.
"Princess, there is no such thing as a free lunch. I spent one hundred thousand taels of gold to buy this Ganoderma lucidum."
The eldest princess suddenly took a breath: "How much did you say?"
One hundred thousand taels of gold cost her almost half of the eldest princess' mansion.
"Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Why does Princess Xiao take money so seriously?"
The eldest princess looked impatient and tried to grab it.
Chu Yunning held the Ganoderma lucidum and said: "
Ganoderma lucidum is fragile. Princess, please don't act rashly. If you are reluctant to part with the money, I can sell it in batches. Ten thousand taels of gold and two taels of Ganoderma lucidum are enough for the prince to take medicine once."
"You!" The eldest princess was almost furious with Chu Yunning. There was nothing she could do, and she looked at Prince Xiao again.
"This is a dowry for the princess, and I can't persuade you to do so."
Prince Xiao did not plead for mercy.
"Okay! I recognize it!" The eldest princess felt so pained that she spent ten thousand taels of gold and stuffed a thick stack of silver notes into Chu Yunning's hand.
Chu Yunning generously cut two taels of Ganoderma lucidum, then turned around and left Beibei.
She believes that the eldest princess will pay for the remaining Ganoderma lucidum!
Chu Yunning took Beibei and did not return directly to the palace. Instead, he deposited the banknotes in the banker in Beibei's name.
"If there is anything you want to do today, Mom can satisfy you!"
Beibei tilted his head and thought for a while: "I want to ride a pony."
He had seen adults riding horses and shooting arrows. He looked majestic and looked forward to it.
horse riding?
Chu Yunning was worried that the original owner didn't know how to ride a horse. She had never been in contact with a horse in modern times and had only seen it from a distance in the zoo.
There is really no way to teach Beibei how to ride a horse.
"I have a few foals in my stable that are docile. You can give them a try."
King Xiao heard the conversation between mother and son behind him, and happened to remember that there was a suitable horse in the stable.
So he gave it to Beibei without hesitation.
Beibei twisted his little eyebrows and looked at Chu Yunning expectantly and anxiously. His eyes were wet, and Chu Yunning's heart immediately softened.
"Mom, you can find someone to teach you, but you must ensure safety."
Beibei jumped up excitedly: "Thank you, mother!"
Seeing how happy he was, Chu Yunning also smiled, and the corner of his mouth hurt, and he gritted his teeth in pain.
"There is a high-quality gold medicine in my house..."
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. This little injury doesn't need such good medicine. Just apply it when you go back and it will be fine."
Chu Yunning's self-developed medicine will take effect in a day or two, and she doesn't want to owe any favors.
In the afternoon, Beibei took Chu Yunning and couldn't wait to see the colt. It was a snow-white colt with a strong body and long and well-proportioned limbs. It was eating grass with its head down, but you could tell by looking at the soft hair that this little pony was
The foal is worth a lot of money.
Beibei boldly stepped forward and touched the horse, dancing excitedly.
Seeing this, King Xiao picked up Beibei and got on the horse. He held the reins with one hand. Not only was Beibei not afraid, but he became more and more excited. He sat on the horse and slipped around alone.
"When you grow older, you can ride a horse alone." Prince Xiao gestured at the height.
Beibei nodded.
After spending an afternoon together, the father and son were obviously very close to each other.
Chu Yunning sighed that the blood relationship is really wonderful.
At this time, Lu Zhu hurriedly ran over and shouted: "Your Majesty, the concubine...she cut her wrists. Please go and have a look."
Upon hearing this, King Xiao's expression suddenly changed, he took Beibei off his horse and strode away.
Ye Yan'er heard that King Xiao took Chu Yun Ning to the eldest princess's mansion, and helped Chu Yun Ning out of the siege. She went to the stable with Bei Bei. Ye Yan'er collapsed on the spot and cut the broken porcelain cup in anger.
wrist.
Ye Yaner's swollen face was covered with a veil, revealing only a pair of beautiful almond eyes, and she lay on the edge of the bed crying.
"Yan'er!"
King Xiao strode over and saw Ye Yaner's wrist that was still dripping with blood, and he suddenly became nervous.
Luzhu said: "Your Majesty, the concubine wants to die, and I can't stop you. I beg your lord to persuade the concubine to stop doing stupid things."
"Go and ask the doctor!" Prince Xiao grabbed Ye Yan'er's wrist and lifted her up into his arms.
Ye Yan'er opened her eyes weakly and burst into tears: "Your Majesty, Yan'er has no shame to see you again, and no shame to live in this world. Please give Yan'er some dignity, Your Majesty."
When she thought of Prince Xiao starting to pay attention to Chu Yunning, Ye Yaner felt as if her heart was pricking with pain.
She absolutely couldn't accept King Xiao's change of heart.
Prince Xiao was angry and helpless: "It's over now. Don't take it to heart. I don't mind what happened today."
After being beaten, losing face and being ridiculed, even though Prince Xiao felt uncomfortable, he was not to the point of hating Ye Yan'er.
"Your Majesty, Yan'er is so ashamed of you." Ye Yan'er lay in Prince Xiao's arms and burst into tears, muttering: "Yan'er is worried that the Prince will dislike her, and she is even more afraid of losing the Prince."
Ye Yan'er was like an abandoned puppy at the moment, pathetically crawling into its owner's arms.
Prince Xiao softened his heart and whispered something in Ye Yan'er's ear. Until the doctor treated the wound, Ye Yan'er still held on to his sleeve and carefully shouted: "Your Majesty..."
"I won't leave."
After hearing these words, Ye Yaner gradually fell asleep
