As soon as these words were spoken, not only was the girl and her servants stunned, but even the young Princess of Western Jin was shocked.
She looked at Su Xiaoxiao weakly.
Su Xiaoxiao acted as if nothing had happened and questioned confidently,
“Why? My brother asked me to buy medicine for him. Are you going to snatch it from me?”
The girl clenched her handkerchief tightly, her eyelashes trembling as she said coldly, “Nonsense! Mr. Zhuge doesn’t have any relatives!”
Su Xiaoxiao’s face was not red or her heart was beating. She said seriously, “Does he have report his relatives to you? Even your father doesn’t dare to interfere too much in my brother’s private matters. Who do you think you are?”
Her arrogance was well controlled, as if she was being supported.
The girl was stunned and weak for a moment.
Su Xiaoxiao said arrogantly, “If you don’t believe me, go and verify it with him yourself! Don’t blame me for not reminding you. My brother has a bad temper and his methods are high. You know how the princess was placed under house arrest…”
The girl’s heart skipped a beat.
Su Xiaoxiao ignored her and paid the bill. She took the herbs and left with the young Princess of Western Jin without looking back!
After coming out, the young Princess of Western Jin looked at Su Xiaoxiao with a dumbfounded expression, as if she had known her for the first time. Su Xiaoxiao asked strangely, “Why are you looking at me like that?”
“You… are you really Zhuge Qing’s sister?”
“Of course I’m not.”
The young Princess of Western Jin said in response, “It’s so true that I almost believed it…”
She continued to ask worriedly, “Aren’t you afraid that she will really ask Zhuge
Qing?”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled faintly. “So be it. Will there be any punishment for lying to
The young Princess of Western Jin thought for a moment. “That won’t happen.
Mr. Zhuge probably doesn’t have the time to argue with a little girl. As for Yuwen Jing, she’s not His Majesty. You won’t have to deal with the crime of deceiving the emperor. At most, you’ll offend her.”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, “If I don’t lie to her, I’ll still offend her unless I give her the snow lotus. This is your brother’s life-saving medicine.”
The young Princess of Western Jin nodded understandingly. “You’re right. Anyway, we have to offend her. Why don’t we fool her! I haven’t liked her for a long time. Qin Su, you’re still the best.”
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Have you always been bullied by her like this?”
The young Princess of Western Jin snorted. “No, she hasn’t been conferred the title of princess. Her status is lower than mine. If she has a bad mouth, I’ll beat her up. After I’m done, I’ll go to His Majesty and cry and complain. His Majesty dotes on me. At most, he’ll lock me up for a few days!”
She was sacrificing herself to attack the enemy. The princess was silent for a moment before saying in a low voice, “Actually… they’ve never dared to provoke me like this before.”
She was talking about them, not her.
“After Mother lost her power, those people who tried to curry favor with me seemed to have changed. On the way to see you, I wanted to bring you a box of snacks. In the past, the best snacks in their family were saved for me. When I went this morning, they said that they were too busy and didn’t have time to make them. They smiled and apologized to me, but when I turned around, I
saw my cousin in Third Uncle’s residence holding the box of snacks.
“Although I’m young, I think they might not really like me. Only you, Qin Su, are different. I’m actually very worried that I won’t see you again… You don’t know how happy I was last night…”
Su Xiaoxiao rubbed the top of the little girl’s head and said softly, “Welcome to the real world.”
The princess looked resentful. ‘What kind of comfort is this?”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “Our little princess is so strong. She doesn’t need anyone’s sympathy and comfort.”
The princess straightened her back. “Of course!”
Su Xiaoxiao returned to the inn and disguised herself as Imperial Physician Liang as usual. She pretended to have met the young Princess of Western Jin halfway and entered the residence with her.
There were a few more imperial physicians in the young royal prince’s courtyard today than yesterday. Other than the imperial physicians, there were also a few unfamiliar faces.
Su Xiaoxiao stood at the door with the medicine box. Imperial Physician Zheng walked over and said in a low voice, “They heard that the young royal prince’s fever has subsided and rushed over to see if it’s true.”
“Who are the ones who are not physicians?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
Imperial Physician Zheng said, “The one with a goatee on the left is Physician
Sun from the Eldest Prince’s residence. The one with white hair in the middle is Physician Li from the third Prince’s residence. The other two are Steward Wu and Steward Lin from the fourth and fifth prince’s residence.”
Even the stewards were here? Was there such a big scene?
“What about that one?” Su Xiaoxiao gestured to the white-haired man on the right with her eyes. He looked a little old and had a feminine temperament. His eyes were kind, but they had a sharpness that could see through everything..
