Hey, you are reborn too?

"Oh?" Xie Shian's brows relaxed slightly, his hands still crossed in front of his chest, with a bit of doubt in his eyes, "Awei, how did you know that this Shu brocade is poisonous?"

Xie Shian's old illness did improve under Xie Yongwei's treatment, so he became more and more confident in his daughter's medical skills. But this Shu brocade was given by the queen after all, and even Awei couldn't say it was poisonous for no reason.

"Daddy, please look," Xie Yongwei spread the handkerchief on the table and pointed to the black powder on it. "This is the poison-testing powder made by Awei. It turns black and stinks when it comes into contact with poison. Look, the place where the handkerchief touched the poison on the Shujin has turned black and has a strange smell."

"Hmm," Xie Shian leaned closer to the handkerchief, his nose twitching slightly, and he indeed smelled a strange smell, "Indeed. Then does Awei have a solution to the poison on the Shu brocade?"

"Daddy," Xie Yongwei put away the silk handkerchief, her eyes firm, the corners of her mouth raised with confidence, "Awei has already thought of a countermeasure. Please allow Awei to bring Shujin back to the residence and remove the poison from Shujin."

"Okay," Xie Shian patted Xie Yongwei on the shoulder, with approval on his face, "Daddy believes in you. So, you can take Shujin back to Osmanthus Garden first."

"Thank you, Daddy!" Xie Yongwei leaned over, pointed at the Shu brocade, and ordered, "Chunmei, Dongqing, find a way to transport the Shu brocade back to our Osmanthus Garden."

Xie Yongwei turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by a voice calling "Ah Wei". She turned back and smiled: "Daddy, what else?"

"Nothing." Xie Shian looked at the smile in her eyes, curled up his fingers hanging at his side, and finally shook his head slowly.

I just feel that you, Awei, are not surprised at all that Shujin is poisonous. In fact, you were the one who took the initiative to suspect that Shujin has problems...

When did Avi become so careful?

Xie Shian blinked and shook his head slightly, hoping that he was overthinking it.

When they arrived at the Osmanthus Garden, Xie Yongwei did not have time to ask the maid to help her change into the clothes she would wear to meet the guests. She immediately went into the study, took out the medicinal materials she brought from the Medical Valley, and started to prepare the antidote.

Chunmei and others saw that Xie Yongwei was so engrossed, so they didn't want to disturb her. They just waited beside the young lady and prepared hot tea for her in case of emergency.

In less than an hour, Xie Yongwei finally raised her head from the pile of medicinal herbs, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled through her mouth.

"Miss," Chunmei saw that Xie Yongwei had no intention of continuing to prepare medicine, and hurriedly took the prepared hot tea, "You have been busy for so long, you must be exhausted. Drink some tea and sit down to rest for a while."

Xie Yongwei did not refuse. She took the tea, blew away the foam on the tea, and took a sip leisurely.

"Chunmei, Dongqing," Xie Yongwei moistened her throat with tea, and placed the teacup on the small table, pointing to the herbs she had just prepared, "Soak these herbs in water, and then put the Shujin in the medicine soup, and take it out after an hour. In this way, the red flour on the Shujin will be removed."

"Yes!" Upon hearing this, Chunmei and other maids found a large basin to soak the medicinal herbs and put Shujin in it.

An hour passed in a flash.

"Miss," Chunmei followed the others to fish out the Shu brocade from the basin, held it in both hands, tilted her head to look left and right, frowning, "It looks like there is no difference between the Shu brocade that has been soaked in water and the one that has not been soaked in water."

"There is a difference." Xie Yongwei stood up and tried it again with the poison-testing powder. She nodded slightly. "Very good. The vermilion powder in this Shu brocade has been eliminated. It can be used to make clothes normally. Please put the Shu brocade on the rack, dry it, and store it in the warehouse."

"Yes!" Chunmei responded first. Although she felt that it was too magical to detoxify by just soaking in medicine, she trusted the young lady unconditionally.

The next day, Xie Yongwei went to the palace as usual to perform acupuncture on the Queen Mother.

After the acupuncture, Xie Yongwei began to disinfect the silver needles and prepared to leave.

"The Queen is here!"

Xie Yongwei raised the corner of her mouth slightly, quickened her movements, rolled the silver needle into a cloth bag and stuffed it into her sleeve.

She bowed gracefully and faced the direction where the queen was walking towards: "Your humble servant greets Her Majesty, may Her Majesty be blessed with good fortune."

"Your son pays his respects to the Empress Dowager." The Queen didn't even look at Xie Yongwei. She just walked past her and paid her respects to the Empress Dowager.

Xie Yongwei lowered her eyes and pulled the corners of her lips in a place where no one else could see. Because she did not get the Queen's "exemption from courtesy", she could only bend her knees slightly, maintaining the posture of bowing, and remained motionless.

"Well, no need to bow," the Queen Mother said word by word, looking past the Queen to Xie Yongwei who was still bowing with her back to the Queen, "Queen, Xiaowei is bowing to you, did you see it?"

Wow, Xiaowei is also called!

"Really?" The Queen slowly turned around, pretending to have just seen Xie Yongwei, and said in a light tone, "Miss Xie, why are you still bowing? Hurry up and get up."

"Yes." Xie Yongwei gritted her teeth, endured the numbness in her knees, slowly stood up, and walked a few steps with almost stiff legs before moving to the side of the empress dowager. She put her legs together and lowered her head slightly, standing still like a puppet.

I hope Her Majesty will pay her respects quickly so that I can pay my respects to the Empress Dowager and take my leave earlier.

"Queen, please take a seat," the Queen Mother raised her chin slightly and gestured to the chair next to her with her eyes, "Is there something you need that you came to see me for?"

"Oh," the Queen chuckled, lowering her eyebrows and covering her lips with her hands, "Your Majesty, I want to come and talk to you and relieve your boredom even if I have nothing to do."

The Queen Mother had just had a conversation with Xie Yongwei, and she noticed from the conversation that Xie Yongwei had a meticulous mind and a long-term vision, and she admired some of her views.

The Queen Mother was kind to Xie Yongwei because Jiang Mian liked her and she had always cared about Jiang Mian. Now she noticed that Xie Yongwei was different from ordinary girls and was independent and strong, so she liked her even more. She wanted to talk to Xie Yongwei about her private matters, but was interrupted by the Queen Mother's sudden greeting.

"Well," the Queen Mother tapped the table beside her with her fingers from time to time, looking up into the distance with unfocused eyes and a faint voice, "What the Queen said is true. It's hard for the Queen to be so busy with daily affairs, but today she still cares about an old bone like me and specially comes to the Cining Palace to pay respects."

Xie Yongwei, who was watching from the sidelines, raised her eyebrows slightly and bit her teeth lightly. It seemed that the relationship between the Queen Mother and the Queen was more tense than she had imagined.

"What are you talking about, Madam?" The Queen stood up from her chair and knelt beside the Queen Mother. She bowed her head deeply and did not look directly into the Queen Mother's eyes. "Even if I am busy with work, I dare not neglect Madam."

"Alright," the Queen Mother frowned, sighed softly, and reached out her hand to support the Queen. Her face was expressionless, and there was no trace of emotion in her eyes. "The ground is cold, Queen, please get up quickly. I don't mean to blame you. You are the mother of a country. Even if others don't mention it, you should pay more attention to yourself and don't kneel down at every turn. What will outsiders think if they see you?"

"What the Empress Dowager taught me is right," the Empress said softly. She raised her head from lowering it, and happened to see Xie Yongwei, who was pretending to be mute, "Hey, Miss Xie, do you like the Shu brocade I gave you yesterday?"

Xie Yongwei was in a daze, but the word "Shu Jin" brought her back to life.

She lowered her head, frowned slightly, and drooped the corners of her mouth. What was hidden in this Shu brocade? The queen should know better than her. It would be fine if Xie Yongwei didn't care about it, but the queen actually had the nerve to bring this up in front of the queen mother?
