The subtle fragrance of cotton needles

Yueqing carefully examined the medicine that Wuyi had gotten from Shangyaotang and smelled it.

Tu asked worriedly, "How is it? Ah Qing, is there anything wrong with this medicine?"

Yue Qing shook her head: "There is nothing wrong with it. This medicine is actually a top-grade medicine, much better than what we have now. However, this kind of top-grade medicine should not appear in a small pharmacy."

Both Tu and Shen were silent.

Yue Qing hadn't thought of it, and couldn't have imagined it at all: "Besides, since these medicines are of top quality, they must not be too cheap. Why didn't Wu Yi spend all the money he brought?"

Wu Yi shook his head. How would he know? He couldn't tell the quality of the medicine, so how could he know how much it cost?

Although Yue Qing was a little skeptical, since the medicine was already in hand, he might as well use it! Presumably, the person behind the scenes also deliberately gave the good medicine to Wu Yi. In that case, it would be difficult for them to refuse.

"It's okay, Wuyi. Wait until dark and then quietly put the silver in Shangyaotang."

Wu Yi nodded and agreed.

After Tinglan took the medicine down and boiled it, Tu asked, "Ah Qing, can this medicine really be used?"

Yue Qing nodded, signaling her to rest assured: "Don't worry! This 'big shot' tried his best to send the medicine to Xia's house. He must really want Yan'er to get better, otherwise he wouldn't have sent the best medicine quietly."

After hearing what Yue Qing said, Mrs. Tu became even more worried: "According to what you said, the person behind this must be of prominent status. He tried every possible means to send medicine to our house. Could he have some idea about Yan'er?"

Yue Qing had thought of this a long time ago, but just didn't say it. Now that Tu mentioned it, she naturally couldn't bring it up again: "It doesn't matter, let the servants give the silver they should give. Wu Yi also declined the tonic they gave her anyway, so we just need to pay back what we should pay back."

"Is this okay?" Tu was still a little worried.

"Don't worry, Yan'er is fine now. Just take good care of Yan'er. A Qing and I will take care of the rest for you." Shen knew what Tu was worried about and quickly comforted her.

Tu didn't want to think so much, but although Xia Yanxiang was out of danger now, Prince Yuan had already given the marriage to Xia Pinxiang from the next courtyard. Xia Yanxiang would certainly not marry Prince Yuan again. But in this case, Xia Pinxiang would gain power, which would definitely be bad for Yan'er.

Xia Yanxiang had been ill for three days. Even though Yue Qing had induced vomiting for her and given her an antidote, the previous imperial physician had not treated her correctly, and the poison in Xia Yanxiang spread into her blood.

The next day, Xia Zhibai and Wu'an Hou's army were about to enter the capital, and Xia Yanxiang finally woke up.

"Yan'er! You finally woke up!" Shen has always been a noisy person. Today, she was the one taking care of Xia Yanxiang. Originally, she didn't need to come in person, but she was really worried.

"Quick! Someone, go tell your wife! And call Madam Yue!"

Xia Yanxiang had just woken up and was still in a daze. Suddenly, she heard Shen's explosive words, and she was sobered up.

Yue Qing and Tu arrived soon. Yue Qing saw that Xia Yanxiang had regained consciousness, so she quickly felt her pulse. After feeling her pulse, Yue Qing heaved a sigh of relief: "It's OK, the toxins have been almost eliminated. You just need to stay in bed for a few days. Just remember to take the medicine on time. There won't be any sequelae."

Tu and Shen also breathed a sigh of relief, and then Tu started to cry again.

Xia Yanxiang was still very weak, and she forced a smile at the three Tu family members: "It's Yan'er's fault. I made the elders worried."

Yue Qing originally wanted to ask Xia Yanxiang about this matter, but seeing Xia Yanxiang's expression, he couldn't bring himself to ask. Even though there were many suspicious points about Xia Yanxiang, poisoning was not such a simple matter after all, and it was herself who was suffering. Xia Yanxiang had no reason to poison herself.

Tu didn't say anything, but turned around silently and wiped her tears secretly.

Xia Yanxiang felt a little guilty. She knew it very well, but there was no other way at the time. Only in this way could she interrupt Mo Cheng's arranged marriage, and only in this way could she directly solve a lot of problems that would follow.

Shen didn't say anything else, just changed the subject and said, "It's okay, it's okay, Yan'er, since you're awake, you should take good care of yourself! Your brother and Marquis Wu'an will be back tomorrow, it's a pity that you can't go to the city gate to greet them."

Xia Yanxiang smiled and said, "That's a pity! I wanted to go see my brother."

Tu wiped away her tears, then turned around and said to Xia Yanxiang, "It's okay. Your brother won't blame you if you don't go to greet him. Besides, I wrote a letter to your brother the day before yesterday. He understands and won't blame you."

Xia Yanxiang knew that Tu was trying to comfort her, but she didn't expose it.

On the second day, Xia Zhibai's army marched into the city in a mighty force.

Xia Zhibai is only twenty-four years old this year, which is the most glorious time for a man. At the age of sixteen, he guarded the border and ensured peace in the area. He made many military achievements and became the youngest general in the history of Dayong Dynasty. He was even personally named General Pu Wei by the current emperor.

Xia Zhibai rode a tall horse, wearing dark red armor and a tall hair crown. His skin color was not the fair color of the children of the aristocratic families in the capital, but a dry yellow color ravaged by wind and sand. However, it did not reduce his handsomeness, but made him look more tough.

On his right is Marquis Wu'an, a famous veteran. He is wearing dark armor. Marquis Wu'an is over fifty years old and has one son and one daughter. The eldest son is Li Lang and the second daughter is Li Guan. Li Lang is an envoy and is not in the capital now, while Marquis Wu'an's wife is in Shu to take care of her mother's family affairs.

The people in the capital city admired the elegance of Xia Zhibai and Wu'an Hou, and Wu'an Hou's daughter was a famous female general in the Dayong Dynasty. Countless people came to the city gate to see them, and the entire capital city was deserted.

"General Pu Wei! Marquis Wu'an!"

"General Pu Wei! Marquis Wu'an!"

The mighty noise at the city gate echoed throughout the capital. Many women who usually did not go out also came to the city gate to see General Pu Wei's grace and elegance. Even though Xia Zhibai already had a wife and daughter, there were still people who wanted to enter the general's mansion.

When Xia Zhibai's army entered the city gate in a mighty manner and slowly moved towards the direction of the imperial palace, the people in the teahouse nearby left.
