dust, a cold glint flashed in his eyes!"Are you hurt" he asked anxiously.>Xiao Yu's song shook her head, as if she hadn't recovered yet. That horse just now was simply too fast. Besides, she hadn't n...Qi Taiyi pondered for a moment and said, "Treating congenital coldness is generally difficult to achieve ideal results later on, but it's worth a try. However, these medicinal herbs are more difficult to find."

The Empress took the words, “What kind of rare medicinal herbs are there in the palace that we don't have” For her grandson, she wouldn’t mind turning the entire Imperial Household Department upside down.

"Everything else is easy to find, but this hundred-year blood lotus and thousand-year blood ginseng are treasures for replenishing qi and blood, yet they are hard to come by." Dr. Liu immediately wrote out a prescription.

"Go and check the Imperial Household Department immediately to see if these items are there." The Empress had someone take the prescription list to the Imperial Household Department.

Soon, the palace maid returned. Just as Imperial Physician Liu had predicted, everything else was present, but the century-old blood lotus and the millennium blood ginseng were missing. Either of these treasures was priceless and extremely difficult to obtain.

However, the empress and the imperial physician's conversation was heard by Xiao Yufu who was hiding behind them. She never dreamed that she would be unable to bear children.

The imperial physician's words were like a bolt from the blue, shattering all her dreams. She had imagined having countless children with Si Chen, and watching them laugh and play around them. But now, the imperial physician's words felt like a death sentence to her.

"My Lady, don't be sad. The imperial physician just said there's still a way to treat it." An Ling on the side carefully comforted her.

"No! I can't find the medicine, I have no hope at all..." Xiao Yufu felt despair in this moment. She hated the injustice of fate, robbing her of fifteen years of her life and now denying her even a chance for treatment. She hated it! She hated it with every fiber of her being!

"My Lady, Miss Xiao is skilled in medicine. Perhaps she might have a way." At this moment, An Ling thought of Xiao Yuge.

"Even the imperial physician couldn't do anything, what could she possibly do" Xiao Yufu was unwilling to go find Xiao Yu Ge.

"My Lady, this is not the time to be flustered. Miss Xiao is known as a divine doctor; her skills surpass even the imperial physician. Last time, when even the imperial physicians were helpless, it was Miss Xiao who cured His Majesty." An Ling pondered for a moment, as if a plan had formed in her mind: "My Lady, I have a plan. Not only can it help you obtain those medicines, but it can also win back the favor of His Royal Highness."

"Speak quickly!"

"You can tell His Royal Highness that you agree to his marriage with Miss Xiao, and even, you can yield the position of Crown Princess..."

"Shut up! What kind of terrible idea are you suggesting, asking me to give up my position as Crown Princess!" Before An Ling could finish her words, Xiao Yufu became enraged.

“My lady, please calm your anger. Let me finish my words,” An Ling hurriedly knelt down and continued, “You just saw the Empress Dowager’s reaction as well. With her thunderous methods, she wouldn't allow you, who cannot bear children, to enter the East Palace. Instead of tearing our faces with them, it’s better to take a step back. You personally tell the Crown Prince that Miss Xiao should be his empress, and you, his concubine. This move will surely make the Crown Prince see you in a new light, and he will definitely cherish you in the future.”

Xiao Yufu, who had calmed down, seemed to understand: "But I just can't accept it. I just lost to that despicable Xiao Yuge!"

"My lady, you haven't lost, on the contrary, you are sure to win!" An Ling said with confidence.

"Anling, tell me clearly, how can I win"

"My lady, if you take a step back, the Crown Prince will surely feel guilty towards you. Right now, if you plead with the Crown Prince and ask him to go to Miss Xiao for those medicinal herbs, the Crown Prince won't tell Miss Xiao that these medicines are for you to avoid any misunderstanding. Besides, those precious herbs must grow on cliffs and precarious slopes; there's no guarantee Miss Xiao will even return safely..."

"I understand now." Xiao Yufu finally understood: "Even if Xiao Yuge returned safely after gathering medicine, she would think it was for Si Chen Gege. If I told her the truth at this time, she would definitely hate Si Chen Gege!"

"The princess is intelligent!"

Xiao Yu Fu listened, and her face instantly brightened, dispelling the gloom from before. "An Ling, if this plan succeeds, you will be indispensable! In the future, when I ascend to that high position, you will definitely be one of the female officials by my side!"

"This slave girl thanks the Lady for her promotion!"

As the saying goes, "What master, what servant!"

It is said that Qian Tingxuan searched for a long time before he found Xiao Yuge sitting there at the Lake of Marriage.

"Song!" he ran to her.

"Don't come over, I don't want to see you!" Xiao Yuge sat there alone for a long time, lost in thought. She couldn't understand why, seeing Fang Minrou hugging Qian Tingxuan, she felt genuine anger, even wanting to rush over and separate them.

Just now, she still convinced herself that it didn't concern her how he and Fang Minrou got along. She just couldn't understand why. He had clearly said before that he only liked her, but in the blink of an eye, he was able to hold another woman in his arms. Are men such fickle animals

With Qian Tingxuan's personality, he wouldn't just stand there if she told him not to come over. He jumped and instantly appeared before her!

Xiao Yu's song didn't waste any words with him, directly giving a feigned palm strike: "Scram!" Finishing her words, she leaped forward, employing the Lingbo Weibu walking technique, and directly jumped towards the opposite shore of the lake!

"Little Song!" Qian Tingxuan also drew himself up and leaped, closely pursuing her.

Luckily, there are few people here now. Otherwise, if they were seen chasing each other on the lake surface, it would probably scare them.

"Don't follow me, I don't want to see you right now!" Xiao Yuge's words hadn't finished before a tightening sensation hit her waist. He had caught up to her and pulled her back into his arms.

"Let me go!"

"Don't move!" Qian Tingxuan pushed her against a big tree between himself and her, his hands supporting her sides, giving her no chance to escape.

"You're not home with your woman, what brings you to me" Xiao Yuge saw his face and immediately got angry.

"My woman is here." Qian Tingxuan rubbed her head. Seeing her so angry, he felt a little happy in his heart. Was it proof that she had him in her heart too

"Who is your woman! Don't be ridiculous!" Xiao Yuge turned her face away.

"Little Song, are you angry Are you jealous" Qian Tingxuan held back a smile.

"Who's angry Who's jealous" Xiao Yuge gave him a withering look, but a voice in her heart whispered: Yes, she was angry, and yes, she was jealous!

"Little song, don't get angry. Things aren't what you see them to be." Although she was angry and jealous, he was happy. But he didn't dare to gloat for too long, otherwise, if he couldn't coax her well, it would be a big trouble.

"Why explain so much I'm not blind, I saw you holding her." Xiao Yuge huffed at him.

"It was her who held me, saying that I had dropped something with her. I swear, my hand didn't touch her at all, and besides, you see, I even let Ming Yang take that piece of clothing to burn." Qian Tingxuan showed her his clothes.uld be strange if someone didn't covet them. All we can say is that Xiaoge'er’s move, though a bit of a loss, was beautifully countered. If he had considered the past glory of King Gaoyang, he wouldn...
