Chapter 62: Nine Soul Grass in the Ice Cellar
Li Wangfu.
Ice cellar.
Xi Qingyan took Su Xiaomo, who was wrapped in a cloak, and Xi Xiaochen went in together, Xi Xiaochen originally read and practiced calligraphy with Shu Xiaomo, but when he heard that his mother was coming, he couldn't wait to walk in.
"You're an obedient patient."
Xi Qingyan looked at the guards on both sides of the ice cellar along the way, and whispered to Su Lixiao.
"Miss Xi, you told the Nine Soul Grass here that can cure the old diseases on His Highness's body, and those of us who are subordinates naturally don't dare to slack off for a moment."
Yun Fei saw the corners of Xi Qingyan and King Li's mouth, worried that the two would continue to argue, so Yun Fei hurriedly stepped forward to explain to his master.
"Actually, in addition to sending people to protect this Nine Soul Grass well, His Royal Highness also eats the pills you gave every day, Miss, our master is hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, Miss, you must not be like our master!"
As soon as Yun Fei's words were finished, Su Lixiao on the side directly gave Yun Fei an eye knife.
"Just talk to you."
Xi Qingyan looked at Su Lixiao like this, he was in a good mood, and said to Yunfei on the side with a light smile.
"Don't worry, we doctors are open-minded, and we will never make trouble with patients because of a little thing."
"Although Su Lixiao was not a worry-free patient before, it is impossible for me, a doctor, to care about this with a single patient!"
As soon as Xi Qingyan finished speaking, Su Lixiao was displeased.
Why does this woman have to be so-for-tat every time she sees him?
"What? What's dirty on my face? Or does His Royal Highness King Li think what I just said is not right?"
Xi Qingyan noticed that Su Lixiao was staring at her, and deliberately raised her voice.
「……!」
Su Lixiao was caught off guard by Xi Qingyan's words, and he actually forgot to go back.
"Mother, you are really the best! I've lived in this palace for so many days, and it's the first time I've seen someone who can make my father speechless!"
Xi Xiaochen has always said something, and he has never shied away from this matter.
"Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen!"
Su Xiaomo was different from Xi Xiaochen, as soon as he heard Xi Xiaochen say this, he hurriedly pulled Xiao Chen and reminded him to exit.
"Xiao Chen, don't talk any more, Daddy will be unhappy!"
「……」
Su Lixiao was a little unhappy at first, and he was ready to go back with a tooth for a tooth, but after the two sons made such a fuss, his unhappiness also dispersed a lot.
"Wow! Mother, this grass flower is so beautiful!"
The child's attention is said to be professional, without any warning, the last moment Xi Xiaochen was still talking about his father's long-awaited departure, and the next moment his eyes grew on the Nine Souls Grass not far away.
"Well, Xiao Chen is right, it's so beautiful."
Su Xiaomo looked at the Nine Soul Grass, which was inconspicuous before, and unexpectedly grew clusters of dark blue flowers, and those flowers were different from all the blue he had ever seen.
"Your Royal Highness King Li, it seems that your subordinate Yun Fei has taken good care of this Nine Soul Grass, and the Nine Soul Grass planted in the Divine Medicine Valley back then was not as vigorous as it was in your ice cellar."
Xi Qingyan looked at the Nine Soul Grass and sighed sincerely.
It wasn't the first time she had seen the Nine Soul Herbs, she had also pondered these herbs that day when she was studying those incurable diseases when she was in the Divine Medicine Valley.
She had even cultivated the Nine Soul Grass herself, but because the environment in which the Nine Soul Grass grew was too harsh, she had never been able to feed it.
"Miss Xi, you praised it falsely, Yunfei just did what he had to do."
Yunfei was very embarrassed to be praised by Xi Qingyan.
"It's just that Yun Fei doesn't know something, this Nine Soul Grass was brought by Miss Xi from Concubine Dong's harem that day."
"I heard that this Nine Soul Grass was planted in Dong Guifei's courtyard that day, but why did this Nine Soul Grass be planted in the ice cellar when we arrived at King Li's Mansion?"
The fact that the Nine Soul Grass was becoming more and more lush in the ice cellar made Yun Fei puzzled.
It wasn't that he hadn't seen strange flowers and herbs, but it was the first time he had ever seen such a strange herb as the Nine Soul Grass.
"Actually, this Nine Soul Grass can be planted in a normal environment, not an ice cellar, it can also live when it grows in Dong Guifei's courtyard, but only in the extremely cold situation can the Nine Soul Grass really blossom and bear fruit."
"The Nine Soul Grass is because it can grow in an environment where no one can live, so it is named the Nine Soul Grass, the old disease on your master's body needs the fruit of the Nine Soul Grass to be cured, now, you have taken good care of this Nine Soul Grass, it has bloomed, it will not be long before it will bear fruit, and the fresh Nine Soul Grass fruit can allow your master's body to be healed to the greatest extent."
Xi Qingyan explained to Yun Fei, who looked curious.
"Miss Xi, are you serious?"
"Nature is true."
Xi Qingyan nodded.
"Yunfei, now that this Nine Soul Grass has bloomed, it won't be too long before it bears fruit, you remember to send someone to guard it every other hour in this ice cellar, and when the fruit is ripe and falls from the Nine Soul Grass, you will immediately go to Shangshu Mansion to find me."
The old diseases on Su Lixiao's body are not difficult to treat, but the difficult thing is the process of waiting for the flowering and fruiting of the Nine Soul Grass.
"Miss Xi, don't worry, Yun Fei will definitely stay here without slacking off for a moment, and I will definitely not let the fruit of the Nine Souls Grass go to waste!"
"That's good."
Xi Qingyan saw the progress of the Nine Souls Grass, and he already had a plan in his heart.
Su Lixiao watched Xi Qingyan and Yun Fei talk calmly on the side, which was very unpleasant.
Why can other people talk with Xi Qingyan so freely, but every time he talks to Xi Qingyan, it ends in unhappiness.
"Mother, it's so cold here, Xiao Chen wants her mother to hug you."
Xi Xiaochen stretched out her little hand and hugged Xi Qingyan's legs, and she realized that the temperature in this ice cellar was indeed not suitable for staying for too long.
"Good! Mother hug you."
Xi Qingyan hugged Xi Xiaochen in her arms, and at the same time, she also held Su Xiaomo with her other hand, the palm of her hand was also meat, and the back of her hand was also meat.
She didn't have a reason to just care about Xi Xiaochen and ignore Su Xiaomo.
"Mother!!"
Su Xiaomo was originally very envious that Xi Xiaochen could directly say what he thought in his heart, but the next moment, Xi Qingyan also held him in his arms.
Shu Xiaomo was very happy, but he was also worried that Xi Qingyan would not be able to hold him and Xi Xiaochen.
"Mother, Xiaomo can walk by himself, there are steps on the way out, and it is not safe for my mother to walk with my brother in my arms......
Even if Su Xiaomo longed to be close to his mother in his heart, he would not let his mother and Xiao Chen take risks because of this matter.
"This ......"
Xi Qingyan had to sigh with emotion, Shu Xiaomo was really older and more stable than Xi Xiaochen, who she had raised for four or five years.
"You are not the only one with this woman, this king's father can also carry you out."
Seeing that Xi Qingyan was embarrassed, Su Lixiao directly hugged Shu Xiaomo in his arms, and then covered Xi Qingyan with the cloak he was wearing.
"Xiao Chen doesn't have a cloak on his body, and this king doesn't want to see his son get cold."
After Su Lixiao finished speaking, he walked out without looking back.
Xi Qingyan looked at Su Lixiao like this, and the corners of his mouth were hooked.
She used to think that Su Lixiao was a dead iceberg, but now it seems that Su Lixiao is still an arrogant iceberg.
"Mother, Xiao Chen, aren't you going to keep up with us?"
When Xi Qingyan was thinking, Su Xiaomo in front of him stretched out his head from Su Lixiao's arms, and opened his mouth to call Xi Qingyan who was stagnant.
"Here we are."
After Xi Qingyan shook off those thoughts in his mind, he raised his feet and walked up the steps and walked out of the ice cellar.
Because of Su Xiaomo and Xi Xiaochen's begging, Xi Qingyan was in King Li again
After the mansion accompanied the two little ones to lunch, they returned to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites from the back door of King Li's Mansion.
Inside Hanlian Garden.
Chun Tao saw Xi Qingyan coming back from outside, and hurriedly stepped forward to give her those things that the eldest lady gave her.
"Miss, it was the slave's fault before, the slave did underestimate the second miss's viciousness, today, that Qiu Xiang in our yard really started to contact Mrs. and the second miss as you said!"
Chun Tao followed Xi Qingyan into the house, and after finding that there were no outsiders, she told Xi Qingyan everything she saw.
"And so it was."
Xi Qingyan was not surprised that Qiu Xiang contacted the second lady and Mrs. Shangshu.
Because if Xi Chuyu and Mrs. Shangshu didn't make a big move, she really felt incredible, after all, no matter what time Xi Chuyu suffered a loss, neither of them would quietly endure it, if they didn't retaliate back, it would not be Mrs. Shangshu and Xi Chuyu's.
"Chun Tao, can you see what they did?"
"Miss, after Qiu Xiang left Hanlian Garden, she entered Madame's courtyard through the side door of Peony Garden, and the slave maid has been watching her outside."
"About two or three quarters of an hour later, Qiu Xiang came out of the Peony Garden, and she didn't go back directly to our Hanlian Garden, but went out through the side gate of Shangshu Mansion."
"The slave maid sent people to follow Akika all the time, and when our people came back, they reported that Akika had gone to the largest land temple in Kyoto."
"Land Temple?"
Xi Qingyan didn't expect Qiu Xiang to go to such a place.
"It's not a year, it's not a festival, how can Qiu Xiang go to the Land Temple? Chun Tao, was the group of people we sent to follow Qiu Xiang discovered, so Qiu Xiang led them to the Land Temple?"
Xi Qingyan thought that Mrs. Shangshu had discovered that she was being followed, so she deliberately lured Chun Tao away.
"No, Miss, our person Qiu Xiang didn't find out!"
"The largest land temple in Kyoto is not a temple with strong incense, it is the largest beggars' nest in Kyoto, and hundreds of beggars gather in that place every day."
"The government in Kyoto was also unhappy that the land temple was occupied by beggars, but when they sent people to expel the beggars, the beggars were so fierce that they directly injured the official sent by the Great Mandate."
"Later, the government no longer cares about those beggars, they are becoming more and more rampant in the Land Temple, Qiu Xiang goes to the Land Temple to find those lawless beggars, it must not be a good thing!"
After Xi Qingyan listened to Chun Tao's words, there were a little more thoughts between his eyebrows.
She thought for a moment and raised her eyes to look at Chun Tao.
"Are we going to go out of the city tomorrow to meet those tenants of Shangshufu?"
"Yes, Miss!"
Chun Tao listened to Xi lightly mention this matter, and suddenly understood, and she whispered anxiously.
"Miss, are you saying that Qiu Xiang is looking for those beggars because they want to make trouble in the middle of the road when we go out of the city tomorrow to meet the tenants?"
"In my opinion, eight or nine is not far from ten."
Xi Qingyan calmly concluded.
"Miss, if that's the case, what should we do? Those beggars are all homeless people, and if something happens to us in the end, I'm afraid the master won't be able to find out!"
"Don't worry, Chun Tao, how could Miss Ben let herself suffer this dumb loss alone?"
Xi smiled lightly and spoke.
