Nangong Xu looked at the white porcelain bottle on the table, his eyes full of helplessness.

"Ali, do you really not understand, or are you deliberately evading?"

At this time, Dongfang Li, who had returned to the General's Mansion, was lying on the bed tossing and turning.

Judging from today's pulse condition, Nangong Xu's body is really in dilapidated condition, and he will fall ill if he is not careful. It seems that he will have to refine a batch of medicine specifically for him tomorrow.

……

"Your Majesty, this is sent by Dong Shuang from the General's Mansion. He said he wants you to take it once a day after breakfast."

Xunyang appeared in Chaochen Pavilion holding a jar.

"Well, let's put it down. I saw Xunyu yesterday and it seems that he is recovering well."

"Yes, Xunyu has recovered very well, thanks to Miss Dongfang."

"Ok?"

"Xunjian asked Miss Dongfang for some good wound medicine. After using it, Xunyu's wound recovered very quickly."

"Well, let's go down."

Nangong Xu was alone looking at the small jar in front of him, his thin lips pursed into a line, but soon, the pursed lips began to rise slightly, and even his eyes were full of smiles, and there was even a trace of unnoticeable emotion.

the other side

Dongfang Li struggled all night. He got up before dawn and started tinkering. He added various precious medicinal materials as if for free, muttering softly while grinding the medicine.

"I really owe you. You asked me to leave, but I have to give you medicine willingly later. What kind of sin have I done? I..."

Qiulian was really shocked when she came in.

"Miss, you are..."

"It is better to heal the wounded and save one life than to build a seven-level pagoda."

"My slave doesn't understand these great principles of yours. I only know that it's time for you to have breakfast."

Qiulian tidied the bed and started tidying up the room messed up by Dongfang Li.

"Okay, I'll ask Dongshuang to send this jar to Prince Xu's Mansion later. In addition, you can ask Chunlu to bring over the posts that have been sent to the Mansion in the past few days."

"Yes."

……

There is a bamboo garden outside Kyoto, and green and tall bamboo forests can be seen everywhere in the garden.

There were several carriages vaguely parked at the entrance of the Zhuyuan. When Dongfang Li arrived, she heard Changsun Ruixue's voice before she even got out of the car.

"I heard Ruixue's voice from far away. I didn't know, but I thought it was a young lady from some family who was so lively and out-of-the-box."

Dongfang Li got off the carriage and walked slowly to the entrance of Zhuyuan.

"Li'er, you always arrive."

Changsun Ruixue stepped forward and took Dongfang Li's arm.

"Li'er"

"Li'er"

Shangguan Chuchu and Xuanyuan Zheng stood at the entrance of Zhuyuan and looked at Dongfang Li with smiles.

"What's going on? Looking at me like this?"

"Li'er, you don't know yet?"

Shangguan Chuchu's eyes widened, looking surprised.

"What should I know?"

The more I talked, the more confused I became.

"Li'er, this Bamboo Garden is a private residence. It is only open to the public for one day every year during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Ruixue likes this Bamboo Garden very much, so she encourages you to visit the Bamboo Garden."

Xuanyuan Zheng couldn't stand it anymore and explained to Dongfang Li softly.

"Since it is a private residence and it is not the Mid-Autumn Festival, how can we enter it?"

Dongfang Li was confused by their troubles.

"Because the owner of this mansion is Prince Xu!"

Changsun Ruixue explained with a smile, as if to confirm Changsun Ruixue's words, Xunyang's figure appeared at the door of Zhuyuan.

"Xunyang has seen the girl from the East."

"Why are you here? But something happens to the prince?"

"No, the prince has been resting recently, and his subordinates came here to give the girl the keys."

While talking, Xunyang took out a delicate and small key from his arms.

"This is the key to the bamboo garden that the prince ordered people to rush out. The prince said that the original key was old and inconvenient to use. The new key is small and easy for the girl to carry."

"...?"

"The prince said that the girl is the future Princess Xu, and it is normal for the key of the Bamboo Garden to be given to the girl for safekeeping."

Xunyang bent down and handed over the key.

"Li'er, this bamboo garden will be under your control from now on. Then I will have to come a few more times every year."

Changsun Ruixue looked at the key in Dongfang Li's hand with a smile.

"Row."

"Xunyang, thank your prince for me."

"Girl, you're welcome. If nothing goes wrong, I'll go back and resume my duties."

Xunyang turned around and left.

Dongfang Li seemed to have thought of something, and quickly stopped Xunyang who was about to mount his horse.

"Remember not to leave anyone around the prince. Also, give this to your prince."

Dongfang Li took out a very small box from his sleeve.

"Yes."

Xunyang took the box, put it away carefully and left.

"Li'er, come on, come on, I can't wait to go into the bamboo garden."

Changsun Ruixue walked around and around the entrance of Zhuyuan.

"I'm curious as to what is so different about this bamboo garden that makes you like it so much."

As the key is inserted and turned, the door of the bamboo garden slowly opens, and a refreshing fragrance of bamboo hits the face.

A large bamboo forest rustles in the breeze on both sides of the high courtyard wall. It can be seen as far as the eye can see. The cobblestone path becomes wider and wider as you go. Several water lilies lie quietly in the small pond, shaking occasionally, which is very interesting.

"I have met the Oriental girl and all the ladies."

An old woman with gray hair, over fifty, and a stooped figure appeared in front of Dongfang Li and others, carrying a food box.

"I'm sorry for the old man. Dongfang Li comes to Zhuyuan for the first time. What do you call the old man?"

Dongfang Li used a little force on his hands to lift the old man up and salute him.

"Girl, just call me Hua Po. It's not the Mid-Autumn Festival now, so I'm the only one in this garden. The prince sent someone to explain and arranged for the girl to live in Meiyuan, and the other girls will live in Liange, Lixie, and Taowu respectively."

"Thank you, mother-in-law."

The maids followed her mother-in-law to place clothes and food, and Dongfang Li and others also started to play in the garden.

"After the Peony Party, we caught up with the king to confer marriage. Now this is the first time we have come out to meet each other."

In the pavilion, Shangguan Chuchu almost had happiness written on her face while eating the snacks sent by Hua Po.

"Why didn't Jianxi come today?"

"Li'er doesn't know something. Mr. Su is sick, said to be infected with wind and cold. Jianxi stays here to take care of him."

Xuanyuan Zheng took a shallow sip of tea.

"Being infected with wind and cold is just an external excuse. My father heard from people at Tai Hospital that Mr. Su has lung disease, and because he is old, the treatment effect has not been good. I went to see Jianxi a few days ago, and she The words reveal that Mr. Su wants to find a marriage for her."

Shangguan Ruixue lowered her head and twisted the silk handkerchief in her hands.

"Mr. Su really feels sorry for Jianxi."

Afraid that Su Jianxi would have no one to rely on after she left, afraid that no one would take care of Su Jianxi after she left, afraid that Su Jianxi would be saddened by guarding the huge mansion alone after she left...

Dongfang Li suddenly envied Su Jianxi. She had a grandfather who really loved her, unlike herself...

"Okay, we came out to play and relax. Instead of being sad here, we should cherish the present. At least in retrospect, we will live a good life."

Shangguan Chuchu patted his heart a little bit on his hands.

"Let's go. I heard that there is a large peach blossom in this bamboo garden. I don't know if it is blooming now. Let's go and have a look."

"Chu Chu is right. Let's go see what else is in the garden. I'll make some delicious food for you later."

Dongfang Li stood up and followed Shangguan Chuchu towards Taowu, followed closely by Changsun Ruixue and Xuanyuan Zheng.

"My God..."

Shangguan Chuchu was walking when she suddenly stopped. If Dongfang Li hadn't had some skills, he would have bumped into her back.

"what happened?"

"Look at..."
