The faint light of the fire made it difficult for Xuan Lanhua to see his face clearly.

She was leaning against the bed with a pillow on it, and she was still holding the longevity lock that Xia Bai'an brought back from Chizhuang in her hand, rubbing her fingertips lightly, but she couldn't hear Nanny Shen's voice, and said something in a low voice .

"Xue'er, why did you do that..."

The voice was slightly louder than before, but it also carried a bit of blame.

Shen Momo's eyes were red, and she quickly brought Mrs. Tang over, warming Xuan Lanhua's hand, and explained to Xia Bai'an in a low voice: "Madam's mind is not clear yet, I'm afraid it's because of the sedative medicine given to her by the eldest lady... "

"I know."

Xia Bai'an nodded slightly, and slowly pulled the longevity lock out of Xuan Lanhua's hand, his fingertips burrowed into the opponent's palm, and kneaded several acupoints below.

Nanny Shen didn't dare to approach easily, she just pinched Mrs. Tang and watched nervously.

After a while, the light gradually gathered in Xuan Lanhua's pupils, and he became more awake. He stared at Xia Bai'an for a long time, and called softly: "Bai'an?"

"It's me, stepmother."

Xia Bai'an said softly, pulled out one hand, took Xuan Lanhua's pulse and did a simple check, and found that her consciousness gradually returned, but there was nothing serious, so he immediately took out a bottle of medicine from the medicine box , serve her.

In less than a stick of incense, Xuan Lanhua exhaled heavily, and then spit out the remaining blood in his throat.

Nanny Shen brought some hot porridge and fed her some, only then did Xuan Lanhua regain some energy, and sat firmly on the head of the bed.

"How does the mother-in-law feel? Do you feel any swelling in the chest?" Xia Bai'an lowered his head and asked while injecting needles on her arm.

That voice was gentle and soft, much gentler than the moonlight in this night.

Xia Bai'an was careful, for fear of causing discomfort to the patient again.

But in Xuan Lanhua's eyes, she saw that Xia Bai'an treated herself so carefully, and even put the long-life lock she took away properly beside her pillow - where she could see it.

It is different from Yunxue.

Thinking of this, her heart ached, and she subconsciously wanted to curl her fingers.

But he was quickly soothed by Xia Bai'an, and his palms pressed against each other.

"Mother-in-law, please don't move around. It will be bad if the needle is stuck in the wrong place later. You will make Nanny Shen cry again, waking up the people in the whole market."

Xia Bai'an's voice was a bit playful again, he raised his head and showed a gentle smile, while slowly stroking Xuan Lanhua's palm, trying to calm her down.

Xuan Lanhua was slightly stunned, and Shen Momo beside her blushed suddenly: "Old slave...why is this old slave crying, Mrs. Captain, please don't..."

"Everyone said to call me Bai'an, Shen Nanny always called each other the captain's wife, but it divided the whole family." Xia Bai'an looked at Shen Nanny reproachfully.

When Mother Shen heard this, she was shocked: "Why is it a family, the old slave is just..."

Xia Bai'an just smiled: "Even if Nanny Shen is a servant who has signed a contract of prostitution, she is also a person who will accompany her stepmother for a long time. Even if she can't call her family when she is outside, can't she admit it when she is in this deserted house?"

"..."

Nanny Shen was speechless, she only looked at Xuan Lanhua carefully.

Listening to the sound of the two people coming and going, Xuan Lanhua actually rolled her eyes with a smile, and patted Nanny Shen's hand beside her.

"Bai An disregards the etiquette of the capital, so you don't have to worry about it, just agree."

"That's right, Nanny Shen is always so out of touch, just call me Bai An."

Xia Bai'an answered the words quickly, and took advantage of Xuan Lanhua's distraction, and quickly administered the needle.

Shen Momo was so disturbed that she had no choice but to answer Xia Bai'an's words tremblingly, and nodded.

Half an hour later, Xia Bai'an finally finished administering the acupuncture to Xuan Lanhua, and he was about to get up: "I'll go to housekeeper Xu to make some medicine, and the stepmother and mother Shen are here..."

"Bai An, tell me directly, what's wrong with my body?"

However, Xuan Lanhua gently pulled her back, saw Xia Bai'an's gaze was still not looking at him, and said, "If you want to talk to Butler Xu about my body, you don't have to. I want to know, what is my own daughter's opinion of me?" What has my mother-in-law done?"

After finishing speaking, Xuan Lanhua coughed lightly, but never let go of Xia Bai'an's hand.

When she was guilty before, she avoided looking like this.

Unexpectedly, this child Xia Bai'an was somewhat similar to himself.

Xia Bai'an was a little embarrassed, but after thinking about it, she slowly sat back on the bed, and first gave Xuan Lanhua a Qingxin pill to swallow, her gaze was serious.

"The dose of tranquilizing the nerves is getting bigger and bigger, and two of the herbal medicines are harmful to the body. Your mother-in-law, your body can no longer withstand the dose, so Qin Xun probably stopped here and changed to other prescriptions to maintain stability. It took a few days to wake up."

A sting flashed in Xuan Lanhua's eyes, and he said again: "You mean... If it wasn't because I couldn't hold on, they might still let me continue to sleep?"

Xia Bai'an showed embarrassment, and spoke slowly after a long time.

"I'm just guessing. In addition, Yunxue has done a lot of things these days. She sent the daughter of the Qin family to be Li Jie's concubine, suppressed the shop in my hand, all in the name of the prime minister's mansion. It's a trivial matter, but it's true that she abused the power of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the foster mother still needs to take care of her body to support the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Xuan Lanhua was speechless for a moment.

Sister Shen showed shock on her face: "Missy actually did these things outside, why is there no news in the mansion? Old man Xu, as the housekeeper, has not heard any news!"

"This... I have no way of knowing about this. Maybe she used outsiders? But the prime minister's mansion has always been neutral. Now that her adoptive father is in trouble, she has contacted the seventh prince Li Jie. If this matter is passed on It's always bad to hear the emperor's ears."

Xia Bai'an had only lifted the restraint not long ago, so naturally he hadn't inquired about the previous matter thoroughly.

Seeing that Nanny Shen and Xuan Lanhua both looked embarrassed, she continued.

"I say this just to remind you to be careful. After all... Qin Xun's new prescription seems to be deliberately aimed at the prescription I sent before. If we take too much, the damage to our body will be irreversible. If we continue to change the medicine secretly , and there is no guarantee that Yunxue will do something when they meet alone, so please cheer up your stepmother."

Xuan Lanhua closed her eyes, and took several deep breaths before calming down: "Got it..."

Shen Momo frowned: "But if you want to hide this matter from the eldest lady..."

"The step-mother and Nanny Shen can discuss this matter slowly. Now it's almost dawn, and I won't be able to leave the house at that time. I will leave a few bottles of medicine and take it later. If I have plans in the future, just ask someone to deliver a letter. "

Xia Bai'an got up in a hurry, straightened the black robe on her body, and looked at Xuan Lanhua again, "It's good for a stepmother to spoil her daughter, but don't overdo it, or it will hurt the whole family."

Xuan Lanhua's eyes were wet, and her eyes were full of regret: "I owe Xueer too much..."
