Gao Yang gritted his teeth and stood in front.

"Princess, my wife is not suitable to see guests. Please forgive me."

"Oh? Is it because you are inconvenient to meet guests or are you just feeling guilty?" He Xi didn't beat around the bush and shouted sternly.

Gao Yang was already feeling guilty, so he was naturally out of breath, but what he had done must not be exposed, otherwise his career would be in jeopardy.

He had put in so much effort to rise from a penniless scholar to his current position as a sixth-rank official in the Liangyun Office of the Guanglu Temple. He could not afford to make any mistakes.

But He Xi was here today to bring him to justice, and his so-called excuses were all in vain.

"If I say one more word, get out of the way!"

"You...you are trespassing into a private residence!" Zhang Ruohong was ignorant and fearless, and threatened to have the people from the government office arrest them all.

He Xi wanted to laugh when she heard this and looked at Gao Yang with a teasing look on his blushing face. They were indeed a perfect match.

"Gao Yang, I want to see my cousin today. If you are sensible, I might spare your life!" Fake!

Gao Yang, as if he had lost his parents, took a step to the side with difficulty, while Zhang Ruohong was still shouting.

Gao Yang understood what He Xi meant. It seemed that this matter today could not be resolved peacefully.

A sudden feeling of regret welled up in him.

***

The room was dim, cold and damp.

"Cough cough cough——" A violent cough came from the tent, and a white jade hand slowly stretched out. Liu Jiaxinqi seemed to have heard the noise outside.

"Xiaojuan? Xiaojuan!"

"Fujin." Xiaojuan ran in hurriedly.

Recently, Liu Jiaxinqi's body has become increasingly weak, and they have noticed that there is something wrong with the medicine. However, Gao Yang has sent a nanny, who is supposed to help Liu Jiaxinqi with the medicine.

"Outside, outside, ahem, what's going on?"

Xiaojuan felt distressed when she saw the haggard and weak Liu Jiaxinqi, but as a little maid, she was powerless to do anything.

"I don't know, maybe there is a distinguished guest." Xiaojuan guessed.

Liu Jiaxinqi nodded disappointedly. After all, she was just wishful thinking. Her father would probably just keep quiet and remain indifferent if he knew her situation.

Her mother loves her, but she has little influence and what can she do?

Thinking of this, a hint of bitterness appeared on Liu Jiaxinqi's pale face.

How long has it been since she left the hospital, or even got out of bed to look at the scenery outside the window?

Liu Jiaxinqi felt increasingly overwhelmed and didn't know if she would be able to see her mother again in this life.

Seeing Xiaojuan standing up for her and looking distressed, Liu Jiaxinqi was not very moved. She had shed too many tears and could not cry anymore.

"Xiaojuan, you... ahem, go out and take a look while there is chaos to see if you can get this letter..." Liu Jiaxinqi tremblingly took out the letter under the pillow. It was not a letter asking for help, but a suicide note.

Maybe she won't be able to see the light of day again.

Liu Jiaxinqi suddenly fainted on the bed. Xiaojuan screamed and went forward to support Liu Jiaxinqi.

But no matter how she called Xinqi, she didn't move. Xiaojuan was so anxious that she burst into tears.

"Miss, Miss! Wake up, Miss!" Xiaojuan cried loudly, and the panic in her heart occupied all her mind.

Even the name has been changed to the previous one and I still have no idea.

But Liu Jiaxinqi still didn't wake up.

"Doctor, yes, doctor!" Xiaojuan put Liu Jiaxinqi down carefully and ran out to find the doctor in a panic.

This time she would bring the doctor over even if she had to kneel down!

Xiaojuan was determined to die and ran to the front yard.

There were a lot of people gathered in the front yard, three layers inside and three layers outside. Xiaojuan didn't have the heart to read the gossip, her mind and eyes were full of Xinqi who was lying on the bed, her life or death uncertain.

Xiaojuan was about to sneak out to see a doctor, but on her way out she heard some words from inside.

"What if I must see Cousin Xinqi today?"

Miss? Xiaojuan heard the familiar name and couldn't help but stop for a moment.

The more she listened, the happier she became. This lady who looked so powerful might actually be able to save her poor young lady.

Xiaojuan squeezed in with all her might.

Gao Yang had already stepped aside at this time, and He Xi was about to say something.

Xiaojuan broke through the encirclement and suddenly knelt down in front of Hexi.

"Your Highness! Please save our young lady!"

"Your lady?"

"Yes, my young lady is the one the princess is looking for, but now... wuwu..." Xiaojuan burst out with the fear that she had been suppressing.

When He Xi heard this, her heart tightened, fearing that there might be bad news.

"Quick, lead the way!"

"Yes." Xiaojuan hurriedly stood up and led the way. No one paid any attention to Gao Yang and Zhang Ruohong.

Gao Yang's eyes were gloomy and he slapped Zhang Ruohong hard.

"Snapped--"

"Ah——Gao Yang, why did you hit me!"

"Do I need a reason to hit you? You are incapable of doing anything good, but always cause trouble!" Gao Yang said sarcastically.

But Zhang Ruohong did not dare to refute, after all, she now relied entirely on Gao Yang.

***

On the way to Xinqi's courtyard, Hexi got a lot of information out of Xiaojuan and became more and more indignant the more he listened.

Fortunately, He Xi brought a doctor with him, who came in handy.

He Xi was dumbfounded when he saw Xinqi's courtyard. Is this the treatment a wife deserves?

It is shabby and cold. Not only a person suffering from a long-term illness, but even a healthy person cannot stand it.

"Doctor Xu."

"Princess."

"Go in with Xiaojuan and take a look."

"Yes." Doctor Xu followed Xiaojuan in with a medicine box.

Xinqi lay on the bed with a pale face, and Doctor Xu carefully took her pulse.

I am not afraid of Western medicine smiling, but I am afraid of Chinese medicine looking down on people.

Doctor Xu frowned and sighed slightly. Xiaojuan's heart almost jumped into her throat.

"Doctor, how is my lady?"

"Alas, the patient is seriously ill. This lady has obviously been poisoned, and it has been going on for quite some time. The poison has already invaded her internal organs."

Upon hearing this, Xiaojuan immediately rushed to the bed and burst into tears.

"Miss! My poor lady! You are still so young, how could God have the heart to ..."

"Uh..." Doctor Xu hesitated, "Miss Xiaojuan, although the poison is severe, there is still a glimmer of hope."

Xiaojuan was like a duck with fate strangled by the throat. She glared at Doctor Xu unhappily. He said half of this and scared people to death.

Xiaojuan: Are you polite? ?(???e???)∫?

Doctor Xu turned his face away in embarrassment. Sorry, my occupational disease has struck me.

You have to be careful with what you say in the palace. If you are healthy, it's not good. If you are sick, it's a serious illness.

Doctor Xu is well versed in the art of winning favor.

Doctor Xu was caught off guard by not expecting to meet such an honest servant this time.

Xiaojuan didn't dare to care about Doctor Xu's exaggeration. She only wanted to save Xinqi's life.

"It's difficult to save him, but it's not difficult either." Doctor Xu stroked his beard, "There is a secret medicine in the palace called Jade Dew Paste, which has the miraculous effect of bringing the dead back to life and bringing dead trees back to life. It may work if combined with acupuncture."

As soon as Xiaojuan was happy, she remembered that she was just a humble little servant, so how could she possibly get the secret medicine from the palace.
