Actually, if they could borrow Emperor Jing Xuans hand to get rid of King Nanyang, it would be the safest. The problem was that they did not know King Nanyangs att.i.tude towards the three children. It would be troublesome if the children were involved. Therefore, it would not work for the time being.

Their understanding of King Nanyang was still too little. The habits and personality he had revealed in the past were all fake. Otherwise, they could have deduced a thing or two from his characteristics.

Su Xiaoxiao said, He doesnt know about Big Brother and Sixth Brother yet, so he probably doesnt know that we know the content of the will. Were safe for the time being, but we cant let our guard down. Once he finds out that Big Brother and Sixth Brother are still alive, he will immediately come to silence them.

Wei Ting snorted. Its not certain who will destroy whose mouth!

Seventh Young Madam! Seventh Young Madam! The maidservant came to the door. Theres a eunuch from the palace who wants to see you. It was Eunuch Cheng from the Yong Shou Palace.

The Empress Dowager caught a cold at night and isnt feeling well this morning

Ill follow Eunuch Cheng.

Su Xiaoxiao brought the first aid kit into the palace.

The Empress Dowager sat on the phoenix bed and leaned weakly against the pillow behind her. Seeing Eunuch Cheng lead Su Xiaoxiao in, she sighed. I already said that Im fine. Why did you have to call her over?

Eunuch Cheng smiled and said, Its my fault. Ill receive my punishment later. How could the Empress Dowager really punish him?

Su Xiaoxiao went forward and took the Empress Dowagers pulse. She looked at her tongue. What did you eat yesterday?

Eunuch Cheng explained in detail, She had a bowl of five-nut porridge in the morning and half a bowl of rice in the afternoon. There were two side dishes and three meatb.a.l.l.s. At night, she drank a bowl of ginseng soup and ate five vegetable dumplings.

What about today? Su Xiaoxiao continued to ask. Eunuch Cheng sighed. Her appet.i.te isnt good today. She didnt eat anything.

The Empress Dowager glared at him. You talk too much.

Su Xiaoxiao retracted her hand. Its a cold. Just take some medicine according to the prescription.

The Empress Dowager said calmly, I dont want to suffer.

Su Xiaoxiao asked, Then what medicine do you want to take?

The Empress Dowager said seriously, The last time you gave me sweet medicine.

Su Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment before realizing that she was referring to the cold medicine in the pharmacy.

Actually, Chinese medicine was better at treating the root cause. The cold medicine only reduced the symptoms and could not nourish the body.

Su Xiaoxiao said generously, Alright, Ill get sweet medicine for the Empress Dowager later.

The Empress Dowager was happy.

Su Xiaoxiao continued, But you have to drink bitter medicine.

The Empress Dowager was presently depressed.

Su Xiaoxiao took the cold medicine from the medicine box and prescribed a prescription for Eunuch Cheng to go to the Imperial Physician Department to get the medicine. Eunuch Cheng was very cautious now. He had to prepare it and let Su Xiaoxiao take a look before he was relieved.

While waiting for the medicine, Su Xiaoxiao decided to ask about King

Nanyang.

Empress Dowager. There was a deep meaning in her eyes. The Empress Dowager understood. You can leave.

Yes.

The palace maids and eunuchs left respectfully.

Tell me, the Empress Dowager said to Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled. Nothing else. Its just that Dahu and the others miss the

Empress Dowager very much.

At the mention of her little sweethearts, the Empress Dowager, who was originally so weak that she could not even get out of bed, immediately perked up. I miss them too! I only hate that a.s.sa.s.sins appeared in the palace and returned in two days. Speaking of which, they havent caught the a.s.sa.s.sins until now. I wonder what the people in the government office are doing.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled. Dont be angry. Take care.

The Empress Dowager said melancholically, I wonder how long it will be before I see them again. I want to see them every day and openly restore their ident.i.ties. Theres no need to hide anymore.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled. Theyre only three years old. Its fine.

The Empress Dowager snorted. Will it matter when they grow up?

Seeing that the fire was almost extinguished, Su Xiaoxiao quickly changed the topic. If King Nanyang is still alive, he might have a way to protect them, right?

The Empress Dowager shook her head. Hes not his brothers match. Hes too soft-hearted. Back then, he was the eldest prince in the two secret decrees. He should have been more legitimate, but he voluntarily gave up the throne and lied that he had lost the secret decree.

Su Xiaoxiao was stunned. Wait, wasnt the secret decree lost?

The Empress Dowager glanced at her. 1 see you know about the secret decree.

Su Xiaoxiao didnt feel guilty at all and confessed generously, Ive already married into the Wei family. How can I not know the inside story?

The Empress Dowager liked her straightforwardness and put everything on the table. He lied that he lost the secret decree, but hes my son. I can tell at a glance if hes lying or not. He hid the secret decree himself. He doesnt want to fight with his brother, and he doesnt care about this throne. Its useless for me to persuade him.

Prince Nanyang hid the secret decree and gave the throne to Prince Ruyang?

That didnt make sense.

That guy was clearly going crazy from missing the throne.

Ive prepared the medicine!

Eunuch Cheng jogged in with the medicine bag.

Su Xiaoxiao carefully checked the herbs. This is right. One set a day. Have it before breakfast.

Eunuch Cheng smiled and said, Ill remember.

The Empress Dowager said to Su Xiaoxiao, Its getting late. Hurry up and go back. The three children should be looking for you.

Her heart ached for the three children. She was afraid that they would be sad if they couldnt find their mother.

Ill come back tomorrow.

Su Xiaoxiao left the palace.

Just as she got into the carriage, a guard from Northern Yan walked forward.

Physician Su! My great general invites you!

Su Xiaoxiao said, Its too late. Im going back. Well talk tomorrow.

Helian Ye had already pa.s.sed the critical period, but his wound was scabbing recently and it was very itchy. He got someone to call her a few times.

Su Xiaoxiao wouldnt spoil him.

The guard said, The general has something to talk to Physician Su about.

Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, I already said tomorrow.

The guard looked up at her. Its about King Nanyang.

Half an hour later, Su Xiaoxiao appeared in Helian Yes courtyard and pushed open his door.

What do you want to tell me?

As Helian Ye sat at the head of the bed, his figure was covered in gauze in the shadows. He looked at her sharply.

A secret of King Nanyang..
