When the prince is reborn, he will only hit me if he doesn't hit the wall!

"Since you're here, it's not too late to have lunch before leaving. Do you have any dietary restrictions?" He Xuehuai asked without waiting for her response.

“I don’t like tofu.”

He Xuehuai took a deep look at her and said in a light-hearted manner, "You really look like your mother."

There were a variety of dishes on the table, including Kyoto specialties and northern specialties. He Xuehuai used a serving chopstick to pick up some northern dishes and put them into Xu Xinyue's bowl: "This is my favorite food in the north. Try it and see if it suits your taste."

Xu Xianyue took a bite obediently: "Well, not bad."

It was clearly He Xuehuai who took the initiative to keep the meal for him, but he didn't eat much. Looking at the girl in front of him, he seemed to see his former sister, eating happily and contentedly.

He kept picking up food for Xu Xinyue, and seeing her eating so happily, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

Soon, all kinds of dishes in Xu Xinyue's bowl were piled up like a small mountain.

"Uncle, you eat too, I can hardly eat anymore."

Thinking of something, He Xuehuai asked, "Yueyue, did your mother really die of illness? Why did she die?"

Xu Xinyue raised her head and found that he was asking very seriously and his tone was somewhat serious.

"It should be. When mother first fell ill, I was still very young. I was in the temple at that time, doing morning prayers with the people from Xu's house. Mother suddenly fell ill that day, which scared father and me.

Since then, my mother's health has been getting better and worse, and then it became worse and worse, and then..."

Thinking back to her mother's death, Xu Xinyue still feels sad.

"Now I only have my dad to accompany me. I can't imagine what I would do if my dad was gone too."

Being reminded of her sad past, her tone became a little depressed, her throat felt sore, and she had no intention of eating anymore, so she simply put down her chopsticks.

"It's my fault for making you sad.

However, I have to mention this matter. Did Yueyue say anything about your mother and your physical condition? "

Xu Xinyue shook her head blankly, looking confused.

"I guess your mother didn't know much about it, and later we encountered something like that, and no one told her clearly."

He Xuehuai glanced at Xu Xinyue and said solemnly:

"Yueyue, because of the physical condition of my mother, your grandmother, you, your mother, and I need to take a medicine every ten years or so to maintain our physical condition. Otherwise, we will be like your mother, with our bodies declining rapidly and dying of illness.

Your grandmother died of this disease as well."

Xu Xinyue's eyes widened in disbelief.

"A few years ago in the North, I almost died here. By chance, when I was still in Nanyuan, a barefoot doctor said that I had to fight poison with poison to save my life. He fed me a very poisonous substance and it actually saved my life.

When I was young, my father worked hard to get some and fed it to me and your mother.

It turned out that the medicine was actually poison.

No wonder my father avoided the question and just said to tell me when I grow up.

only--"

"What kind of poison is it?" Xu Xinyue asked urgently without waiting for him to finish his story.

"It seems to be called Shuangchi——"

"Frostfire poison?"

Xu Xinyue's voice trembled uncontrollably, and her body shrank as well.

"Yes, that's the name!

Yueyue, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so bad? "

"Uncle, I'm fine, but what I heard was horrifying."

Xu Xinyue lowered her head, not wanting him to see her expression.

He Xuehuai touched the top of her head and coaxed her gently, "Yueyue, don't be afraid. Your skills were taught to you by your mother, right? You have been practicing medicine in recent years. Have you heard of this poison?"

"Never."

Xu Xinyue lowered her head even more and answered him decisively but guiltily.

"Yes, that's right. This poison is rare nowadays. When the barefoot doctor gave me this poison that day, he only gave me a little bit.

I heard that this poison had appeared in Beixuan before, so I think there is still great hope. Don't worry, your uncle will help you find it.

If it has appeared before, I will find it even if I dig deep into the ground."

"Uncle, do we really have to use this? Are there other poisons that won't work?"

"Yueyue, I'm not kidding you. This is poison. You only have one life, so how can you try it carelessly? Since you know this poison is useful, just focus on finding it. If you hear any news about Frost Blaze, you must tell your uncle.

You have already eaten the Hundred Poison Pill once, which is already very bad."

"I see."

Xu Xinyue didn't nod or agree, she just responded.

"Only you and I know about what happened to my uncle today, so don't tell anyone else, okay?"

"Of course. How could I speak so carelessly about such an important matter?"

Today's meal was really tasteless.

On the way back to Jishidiang, Xu Xinyue was feeling a little worried.

It was as if her feet had taken root, making it difficult for her to move. She raised her hand and looked at her palm, then her five fingers slowly curled up and clenched into a fist. She murmured, "Is it such a coincidence?"

Xu Guanghai was still worried about how to ask the emperor for purple ginseng. He sighed and paced back and forth in the room.

Suddenly, a secret guard came to report: "Master, there is news about the purple ginseng."

Xu Guanghai's spirits perked up, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes: It happened so quickly, could it be that the purple ginseng has changed its owner?

"Tell me quickly, what's the news?"

"Purple Danshen is no longer in the palace, it's in Prince Qi's mansion!"

Prince Qi’s Mansion!

Xu Guanghai laughed up to the sky: "God will not destroy me! God will not destroy my daughter Xu Mingxi!"

Prince Qi’s Mansion, Prince Qi was aware that he was interested in Xu Mingxi.

It seems that there is no need to lose face and go to the palace to seek the emperor's help!

The heavy burden on his heart disappeared instantly, and Xu Guanghai breathed a sigh of relief: "Today, I am going to see Prince Qi."

After packing everything up, Xu Guanghai walked out of the Xu Mansion with his head held high.

Prince Qi Qin Zhaolie had always been in love with his daughter, Xu Mingxi.

How can I just ignore the fact that my loved one is in danger?

Who knows, as soon as he heard the news, he couldn't wait to offer the purple ginseng in an attempt to please him and win his favor so that he could marry his daughter.

The more Xu Guanghai thought about it, the more excited he became. Sitting in the carriage, even the "clacking" sound of horse hooves seemed very pleasant to his ears.

My fingers tapped unconsciously to the rhythm of the horse's hooves, feeling so proud.

When they arrived at the gate of Prince Qi's mansion, Xu Guanghai held his head high and stepped out of the carriage.

He raised his head slightly and said to the guards outside the door, "Please inform that Xu Guanghai from the Xu Mansion wishes to see His Royal Highness Prince Qi."

The palace guard was unmoved and only replied sternly: "No one is allowed to enter without a visiting card."

"I am the former Minister of War and Xu Mingxi's father. Does Xu Mingxi know who I am? Maybe I am your future——"

"It doesn't matter who it is! Without a visiting card, it won't work, no matter if you are the former Minister of War or the current Minister of War!"
