Chapter 353 Wake up
Xie Jue tilted her little face up, her dark, grape-like eyes looking at him intently.
Xie Jingchun felt a warmth in his heart.
He took the amulet, squatted down, and gently patted Xie Jue's head.
"Thank you, Third Brother. I will carry it with me and bring the herbs back as soon as possible."
Xie Jue nodded vigorously, watching Xie Jingchun turn and leave, his figure gradually disappearing into the night.
Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.
"Your Majesty, Xie Jingchun has already set off for Lingnan to search for the Purple Lotus," Eunuch Li reported respectfully, bowing his head.
Gao Xian pondered for a moment, then gave the order in a low voice.
"Send a team of guards to follow him secretly and ensure his safety."
The eldest princess's mansion.
The Marquis's residence kept the news under wraps, and Xu Liuer didn't learn about Qin Jiuwei's poisoning until three days later.
"What! Nine-micro poisoning! How could this be..."
Xu Liuer suddenly stood up and hurriedly walked outside.
As soon as I reached the door, I suddenly remembered my identity.
How could she possibly go back to the Marquis's mansion now...?
But, Jiuwei, Jiuwei, her!
Xu Liuer's expression was complicated and she struggled, clutching the embroidered handkerchief tightly in her hand.
She turned to the maid beside her and whispered, "If there is any news, come and tell me immediately."
The maid bowed her head and replied, "Yes, Miss Xu."
Just then, footsteps could be heard outside.
A young maid entered and said respectfully, "Miss Xu, the Princess requests your presence."
Since Gao Yunzhi was frightened by the news of Qin Jiuwei falling off a cliff, she almost went into premature labor.
After that, Granny Lin became even more cautious, almost completely cutting herself off from all outside information.
She was afraid that any further disturbance would startle her.
Gao Yunzhi was also completely unaware of Jiuwei's poisoning.
Xu Liuer pursed her lips tightly.
She could keep it to herself, but she had to keep it a secret from Yunzhi.
When Gao Yunzhi saw Xu Liuer walk in, a smile immediately appeared on her face.
He quickly greeted her, "Liu'er, you're here! Do you think my new embroidered dress is pretty?"
Xu Liuer sat down next to her, her lips curving into a smile, her expression quite natural.
“The princess’s embroidery skills have always been excellent, and the child will surely be delighted to wear it after birth.”
Upon hearing this, Gao Yunzhi's eyes lit up, and her smile deepened.
"Really? You think it looks good too? Actually, I was worried that my sewing skills weren't good enough and it wouldn't look good on my child!"
Gao Yunzhi was initially delighted to talk to Xu Liuer, but after a few words, she noticed something was off about her.
She and Xu Liuer have lived and eaten together for so long.
Her expression and movements were all too familiar.
Almost instantly, Gao Yunzhi noticed something was wrong.
"Liu'er, what's wrong?" she asked.
Xu Liuer pursed her lips and remained silent.
Gao Yunzhi's expression immediately turned cold.
In the end, Xu Liuer couldn't keep it a secret any longer and told Gao Yunzhi everything.
Upon hearing this, Gao Yunzhi's expression changed drastically, her eyes filled with worry.
"Jiuwei has been poisoned? How is she now? Is she in grave danger?"
Xu Liuer lowered her head and remained silent, seemingly acquiescing to her words.
Gao Yunzhi was so anxious that she could no longer sit still and turned to leave.
"I have to go see her! I must go see her!"
the other side.
Xie Jingchun traveled non-stop and finally arrived in Lingnan at noon the next day.
Without taking a break, he quickly went into the mountains to search for the Purple Snow Lotus.
After traversing the humid mountain forest, he discovered several purple snow lotus plants on a precipitous cliff.
Without hesitation, they climbed up.
After carefully picking the flowers, they were placed into a specially made box.
Xie Jingchun carried the box down the mountain, eagerly preparing to return.
Compared to going uphill, the mountain path downhill was much steeper, with trees intertwined and blocking out most of the light.
Xie Jingchun was walking when suddenly the rock under his feet loosened, and he almost slipped and fell.
To make matters worse, a venomous snake suddenly darted out of the bushes and charged straight at him.
Xie Jingchun reacted quickly and immediately dodged to the side, but was still struck by the snake's tail and nearly slipped and fell off the cliff.
Just then, a stray arrow whistled past and pinned the venomous snake to the tree trunk.
Immediately afterwards, several guards dressed in brocade robes appeared from the forest.
They quickly surrounded Xie Jingchun, and one of them reached out and pulled him back from the edge of the cliff.
Xie Jingchun looked up and saw the embroidery on the sleeves of these people, and immediately understood: "Are you people sent by the Emperor?"
The lead guard nodded, but did not speak.
Xie Jingchun said in a low voice, "Thank you for your trouble."
Immediately afterwards, a sense of doubt arose in my mind.
Why would the emperor send someone to protect him?
But Xie Jingchun only thought about it for a moment before putting the question out of his mind.
The most important thing now is to get back and save my mother.
The Marquis's Residence, Qinglan Courtyard.
Inside Qinglan Courtyard, the room was completely silent, with only the soft rustling of leaves in the breeze outside the window.
Qin Jiuwei lay on the bed, unconscious, her face as pale as paper.
Gao Yunzhi, heavily pregnant, clutched her handkerchief tightly in both hands.
Seeing her so haggard, tears welled up in my eyes instantly.
She grasped Qin Jiuwei's hand, her voice low and hoarse: "Jiuwei..."
Before she could finish speaking, tears were already streaming down her face.
Gao Yunzhi was too upset to continue speaking. She lowered her head and leaned against the bedside, sobbing softly.
Last time it was a fall off a cliff, this time it's poisoning.
Why does her Jiuwei always have to suffer so much?
God, how could you be so cruel...?
As soon as she cried, Xie Jue, who was standing next to her, also immediately burst into tears.
Xie Yanli stood to the side, his eyes lowered, his fingers clenched tightly.
Night falls.
Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps came from the courtyard gate.
Xie Jingchun stepped into the courtyard, looking weary from his journey.
He carefully held a specially made box in his hands.
He strode quickly through the door.
"Father, Physician Lin!"
Xie Jingchun raised the box in his hand, "I brought back the Purple Snow Lotus!"
Half an hour later.
Xie Yanli sat down beside Qin Jiuwei's bedside, carrying a bowl of freshly brewed purple lotus soup.
He was usually decisive, but at this moment he seemed unusually cautious.
He whispered an instruction to Xiaohe.
Xiaohe immediately handed over a handkerchief, carefully supporting Qin Jiuwei's chin and gently lifting her head.
Xie Yanli scooped a spoonful of soup with a spoon and slowly put the soup into his mouth.
He would stop and observe for a moment after each bite to make sure the child hadn't choked before feeding the next bite.
It took a full fifteen minutes to finish the bowl of medicine.
But Qin Jiuwei's expression remained unchanged.
Xie Yanli immediately turned to look at Lin An, his eyes filled with dangerous suspicion.
Lin An quickly said, "Young Master, the poison is subsiding, but the young mistress is not yet awake and will need some time to recover."
Xie Yanli nodded, his gaze deep, and remained sitting by the bedside, keeping watch.
This vigil lasted for three hours.
The lights in the room flickered.
Everyone's eyelids were heavy, and they were almost about to fall asleep.
On the bed, Qin Jiuwei's dark hair fell loosely over her shoulders, making her look like a withered lotus flower, quiet and weak.
Xie Yanli sat on the edge of the bed, his gaze fixed on Qin Jiuwei's face.
Xie Jingchun, Xie Jing, and Xie Jue were also standing guard nearby.
"Young Master, go and rest," Zizhu advised in a low voice.
Xie Yanli did not answer, but simply shook his head.
Everyone who had waited until now felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.
Is this purple-stamen snow lotus completely useless?
Lin An sighed and was about to speak when Qin Jiuwei's finger suddenly twitched.
Xie Yanli keenly noticed this and immediately shifted his gaze to her face.
Her eyelids twitched a few times.
He then slowly opened his eyes, a faint expression appearing on his pale face.
"Nine Micro!"
Xie Yanli leaned closer, his voice filled with barely suppressed excitement.
