After provoking the holy maiden of Miao territory, she was infected with a love curse.

My head felt like it had been filled with boiling water and turned into a paste.

Yin Huaixi was completely held in Sang Che's arms, and the small red snake held a muddy, fishy-smelling herb in its mouth and offered it to Sang Che's leg.

It coiled into a circle, waiting for Sang Che to give orders.

Unfortunately, Yin Huaixi's case was not an ordinary case of typhoid fever...

This herb is too young, only a few years old, and not yet enough to completely cure Yin Huaixi's typhoid fever.

But now, Sang Che has no choice.

She pinched the herb between her fingers, squeezed it hard in her palm, and the green, viscous juice immediately soaked into the spaces between her fingers.

Sang Che looked down at Yin Huaixi's unusually rosy face. She could only press her fingers against Yin Huaixi's dry lips, her fingertips touching her lips, and send the green, viscous juice between Yin Huaixi's lips and teeth.

"Huaixi...please be alright."

Perhaps driven by her body's instinct for survival, Yin Huaixi immediately bit Sang Che's finger, which was covered in the medicinal liquid, and began to swallow the sticky liquid.

Seeing her like this, Sang Che was momentarily stunned.

If Yin Huaixi were alive and well, he would never show such an expression in front of her.

On the contrary... Yin Huaixi would never bow down to her, complain to her, or beg her.

The prison cells are gloomy and never lack poisonous insects.

In the past few days, Sang Che has sent these little guys out to gather information and bring it back to her.

The capital city is still under martial law.

Even for high-ranking officials and nobles, leaving the city was an extremely difficult task, requiring them to go through numerous procedures before they could even have the chance to leave.

Therefore, Sang Che was not in a hurry to escape from the princess's dungeon.

You should know that the safest place in the world is also the most dangerous place. You can escape danger even under the emperor's nose.

But if she really goes out...

That's hard to say.

Sang Che, who used to be all alone, naturally didn't care about these things, but now she has Huai Xi by her side.

Sang Che couldn't bear to let Yin Huaixi risk losing her life.

She didn't want to be cautious or compromise, but the high priest's prophecies had never been wrong.

Just like she will meet Yin Huaixi again.

This was also an opportunity given to her by the gods.

...

Without pulling his fingertips away, Sang Che let Yin Huaixi bite him like a baby venting her frustration.

She has to wait for Jiawan to bring the medicine over.

"Hmm... Sister..."

Unconsciously murmuring, Yin Huaixi couldn't help but reveal the deepest longing in her heart.

She snuggled closer to Sang Che's embrace, her longing evident.

"Don't go..."

Hearing Yin Huaixi call out like that, Sang Che was stunned for a moment. In all the time they had spent together, she had never seen Yin Huaixi completely let down her guard with her.

So... this is what it looks like?

It really leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Thinking this, Sang Che hugged Yin Huaixi even tighter, wishing she could completely integrate this person into her own bones and blood.

Sang Che said softly, "Huai Xi, go to sleep."

"I'll stay here with you, I won't go anywhere else."

Hearing her "sister's" comforting words, Yin Huaixi's tense nerves finally relaxed, and she couldn't help but hug the person in front of her tightly.

A comforting, subtle fragrance filled her nostrils, and Yin Huaixi drifted off to sleep once more.

...

The night was dark and the wind was high.

With the prescription Sang Che had read to her in her bosom, Jia Wan secretly slipped into the medicine storeroom of the Princess's residence.

"Miss Jiawan, what's wrong...?"

Just as Jiawan was about to crouch down and go in, she bumped into the servant who managed the storeroom.

Jiawan: "..."

As the saying goes, "The weather is unpredictable, and fortune can change in an instant."

What is this—"When it rains, it pours!"

Now that she's been discovered, she doesn't need to hide anymore; she might as well be open and honest.

With a wave of his hands, his long sleeves fluttered.

Jiawan mimicked Zhao Huining's usual manner, feigning domineering, and said, "What, did your Highness order me not to enter this medicine warehouse?"

The servant managing the pharmacy quickly bowed.

"No, no, I wouldn't dare."

"Miss Jiawan, His Highness said that you can go anywhere in this manor as long as you want."

Seeing that the servant was so understanding, Jiawan smiled and waved her hand.

"If that's the case, then get out."

"I need to concoct a medicine that Your Highness can use, so there's no need for you to bother me here."

The servant hesitated.

Jiawan saw through his reluctance to leave at a glance, and immediately became angry.

"It seems my words don't carry enough weight with you? Then tonight, when Your Highness returns, I will certainly put in a good word for you..."

This Miao woman has always been domineering and arrogant in the mansion, and His Highness has never paid any attention to her, indulging her spoiled and domineering nature.

The servants dared not offend them.

Even if he had the guts of a bear and the courage of a leopard, he wouldn't have the ability, so he could only immediately put on a fawning smile.

"Miss Jiawan is right, I will now take my leave."

"I won't bother you any longer."

Watching the blue-robed figure disappear, Jia Wan finally calmed down and began to concentrate on finding the medicinal herbs that Sang Che needed.

Opening the exquisite wooden cabinets one by one, Jiawan couldn't help but pinch her nose to avoid the pungent smell of medicine, and said, "Ah Che is really something... It's just a small case of typhoid fever, why does he need so many expensive things?"

As soon as he finished speaking, another voice followed up: "Really? What kinds of precious medicinal herbs are used?"

Upon hearing this question, Jiawan instinctively replied, "Of course it must be something hundreds or thousands of years old, otherwise it wouldn't have caught A-Che's eye. She just wanted to give Yin Huaixi the best..."

As she was talking, Jiawan realized something was wrong. She glanced back and saw Zhao Huining walking towards her.

Swallowing hard, Jiawan instinctively stepped back.

Depend on!

Why didn't anyone tell her that Aning went back to the princess's residence so early!

When Zhao Huining saw Jia Wan's panicked expression, she couldn't help but laugh and moved closer to Jia Wan.

As she walked, she said, "I never imagined that my grand princess residence would have mice in the pharmacy."

"I wonder where this little mouse is going to steal the medicine?"

Jiawan felt a surge of resentment after being called a "little mouse" by Zhao Huining.

She was about to rush over and argue with Zhao Huining without a second thought when images of Yin Huaixi's pale face and Sang Che's extremely worried expression flashed through her mind.

No.

In order to consider the overall situation.

She couldn't hold a grudge against Aning here.

Without the prescription, Yin Huaixi, being an ordinary Han Chinese, would surely be on the verge of death.

Clutching the prescription tightly in her hand, Jia Wan strode up to Zhao Huining and unfolded the prescription herself.

She pleaded, "Ah Ning... I don't want to argue with you right now because I have something more important to do."

"Yin Huaixi is sick. She is very important to A-Che. I can't just ignore her."

"If you have any ideas, could you please ask a doctor to take a look at her?"

Zhao Huining had already informed her about this matter through her subordinates. However, Zhao Huining assumed that Jia Wan would secretly steal the medicinal herbs and give them to Sang Che to treat Yin Huaixi.

Unexpectedly, Jiawan directly brought up the matter in front of her.

Zhao Huining lowered her eyes and glanced at the prescription in Jia Wan's hand. She saw the medicinal herbs listed on it.

He smiled faintly: "These medicinal herbs are rare, but they're not things I can't get my hands on."

"Ah Shui, if you really want it..."

"Then grant me one request."

Jia Wan became wary, but couldn't resist the temptation Zhao Huining offered. She stammered, "What are the conditions...?"

Zhao Huining: "Sleep with me."

Jiawan was stunned and didn't have time to answer.

Zhao Huining, however, had no intention of letting her go and pressed her relentlessly.

"Sleep through the night."

"I then had someone send the herbs from this prescription to the prison cell."

"We will not delay."

"Ah Shui, have you thought it through?"
