Inside the brocade box, which is not too big, there is an insect that is blood red and shines like jade, with heads and whiskers on both the front and back.
"This is Xuan Chong Blood-stained Jade."
Luo Jiuli looked thoughtful.
According to what Qin Wu said, Xiao Mingxuan relied on this medicine to suppress the onset of curses on the fifteenth day of every month.
But after all, it is not an ordinary medicinal material, and even a powerful prince like Xiao Mingxuan cannot hoard large quantities of it.
This time, if Mrs. Fengde hadn't accidentally mentioned it, she probably wouldn't have changed her mind temporarily and added Xuan Chong Blood Jade after the prescription.
After a cup of tea, Luo Jiuli took out the antidote and sent away the housekeeper of Prince Zhao's Mansion.
Then someone arranged a carriage and went to the Ninth Prince's Mansion.
"Where is the prince?"
At the entrance of the Ninth Prince's Mansion, Luo Jiuli got off the carriage and looked at the housekeeper coming towards him.
The butler was busy making obeisances.
"Your Majesty is in the study, Miss Second, please."
Luo Jiuli nodded and followed the housekeeper to the study with the brocade box in his hand.
"How did you come?"
When Xiao Mingxuan saw her walking in, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, a smile flashed in his eyes, he stood up and walked to her almost impatiently.
The housekeeper saw that there was no way to disturb him, so he hurriedly closed the door and left.
"Send you something good."
Luo Jiuli smiled and let him hold her hand and sit down, then handed over the brocade box.
"open to take a look."
As soon as Xiao Mingxuan saw the brocade box, he probably knew what was inside, so he took it and opened it.
"As expected, it is Xuan Chong Blood-stained Jade. It seems that the Queen Mother really spared no effort in treating King Zhao."
Luo Jiuli nodded.
"I didn't expect the Queen Mother to give the medicine to King Zhao so happily."
"Presumably, Da Sima and Concubine Hu also contributed, but no matter what, my goal was achieved."
Xiao Mingxuan looked down at the brocade box, then reached out and took her hand.
"In this way, you and Duke Yiguo are completely on the opposite side of the Queen Mother."
Luo Jiuli made no comment and put her arms around his neck.
"Then from now on, I need the prince to protect me."
Xiao Mingxuan kissed her ear bones, and his clean and hot breath blew into her ears.
"This king will protect you for the rest of your life."
Luo Jiuli nodded, with a smile in his eyes.
"I don't dare to hope for the rest of my life, but in this life, you are mine."
Xiao Mingxuan smiled softly, feeling as if his internal organs had become soft in an instant, and whispered softly.
"Okay, I belong to you in this life."
If there is an afterlife, he must be the first to find her.
Luo Jiuli looked up and saw the tenderness on his brows and eyes, and his own heart was filled with excitement.
The words of a straight man turn out to be so disgusting.
"Your Majesty, it will be the fifteenth day in two days. I heard from Qin Wu that before he met me, on the fifteenth day of every month, the prince would use it to suppress the spells in his body."
Luo Jiuli rubbed the brocade box.
"There are many medicinal materials in this world that are more precious than the Mysterious Insect Blood-stained Jade. Why can this Mysterious Insect Blood-stained Jade suppress the spell in the prince's body? Has the prince ever thought about this problem?"
Xiao Mingxuan frowned slightly, shook his head slightly and said:
"Actually, this mysterious insect blood-stained jade can only relieve the physical pain when the spell occurs, but it cannot completely suppress it."
"This is one of the reasons why I have been living in the border areas for so many years and have not returned to Beijing."
"However, now that you are with me, why should I keep this thing just for emergencies?"
Luo Jiuli nodded, knowing in his heart that perhaps those in the palace were not aware of the spell in Xiao Mingxuan's body.
The mountains in the border area are high and the roads are far away, which can better conceal this matter.
In addition, after returning to the capital, he handed over military power and left the capital without hesitation. This was largely due to the hidden spell.
After all, based on her understanding of the few people in the palace, if she knew that Xiao Mingxuan had a curse on his body, I am afraid that she would never be able to take out the mysterious insect blood-stained jade so happily.
"We don't have to use this Mysterious Insect Blood-stained Jade, but we can't live without it. Just as you said, it's just in case of emergency."
Besides, on the fifteenth day of this month, she thought of a method that she might try.
"What are you thinking about?"
Xiao Mingxuan saw that her eyes were a little erratic.
"I didn't think about anything."
Luo Jiuli shook her head. She couldn't tell Xiao Mingxuan that method yet.
"I heard from Nan Xing that you sent someone to follow you to Da Sima's Mansion last night?"
"This is what happened!"
Xiao Mingxuan raised his eyebrows and smiled lightly.
"She will always have to pay for what she has done. This is just the beginning."
When he thought about how he almost lost Luo Jiuli that night, his hatred for those people was unprecedented.
Luo Jiuli nodded.
"This man just can't do anything bad. I heard that Hu Bingyu was frightened by what happened last night and developed a high fever in the middle of the night. The Grand Sima Mansion invited a doctor to come in for treatment overnight. I don't know what he is like now."
"What? A woman's kindness?"
Xiao Mingxuan put his arms around her.
"Although you, as a doctor, save lives and heal the wounded with a compassionate heart, you must not be as kind as a woman to people like Hu Bingyu and King Zhao."
"With your hands, you can save those who deserve to be saved and kill those who deserve to be killed."
Luo Jiuli took action.
"My lord, have you misunderstood? I don't know how to be kind to a woman."
"However, Da Sima is ruthless. Nan Xing and the others were merciful and did not kill Mrs. Sun. It's just a pity that what was thrown in was a living person and what was thrown out was a corpse."
"My lord, please tell me, if we come to the door with Mrs. Sun's body and have proof, will the emperor punish him?"
"Won't."
Xiao Mingxuan answered her without any hesitation.
"People are like ants, and their lives are like grass."
"The Sun family is a criminal. Does anyone care when Sun Ting dies? What's more, there is a crazy Mrs. Sun."
Luo Jiuli sighed.
In fact, she knew clearly in her heart that killing the wife of a guilty minister would not have any impact on the Grand Sima Mansion.
I’m really unwilling!
Xiao Mingxuan saw her expression of confusion and reached out to lift her chin.
"Waiting for a day, I will take you to see a good show tomorrow."
Luo Jiuli's eyes suddenly brightened.
"What's the show?"
"Confidentiality."
Xiao Mingxuan lowered his head and kissed her eyes, feeling her eyes blink lightly and her eyelashes brushing against her lips, feeling a slight itch.
His heart was itching, and his breathing was slightly rapid. His lips moved down and held the soft petals in his mouth.
She was so petite and gentle in his arms, which made him fall into this gentle landscape, filled with long-term perseverance, pain, and strategies.
Everything seems to be going away quickly.
After all, the two were not married yet. After a brief intimacy, Xiao Mingxuan personally escorted Luo Jiuli back to the Duke's Mansion.
At midnight, everything was quiet.
Qin Yin walked quickly from outside the house in the night cover, with the faint smell of blood on the handle of the knife at his waist. He walked to the main courtyard and bowed to report.
