Su Xiaoxiao received the lingzhi and kept the Snow Region Heavenly Silk.

Mei Ji was dumbfounded.

Su Xiaoxiao had seen many lingzhi and could tell at a glance that the grade of this lingzhi was not ordinary.

Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao was carefully observing the purple lingzhi, Sai Huatuo walked over and said, “Feng Xiaoran has a lot of purple lingzhi, but this is the best.”

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Why does Feng Xiaoran have so many herbs?”

Saihua Tuo explained, “He joined thePrincess because he passed by the Eldest

Prince. He was worried that the Princess would not accept him wholeheartedly, so he secretly recruited many physicians and medicine masters, hoping to gain the Princess’s trust by treating the young Prince’s illness.”

However, Su Xiaoxiao intercepted him. Saihua Tuo did not say this.

Su Xiaoxiao handed the Purple Lingzhi to Sai Huatuo. “Are you sure it’s this one?”

Sai Huatuo said, “I’m sure.”

He returned the lingzhi to Su Xiaoxiao. “The truth this time is that I have no choice. I wonder if my grandson…”

Su Xiaoxiao put away the lingzhi. “I won’t go back on my word.”

The matter had to start from last night.

Although Sai Huatuo was extremely sincere, Wei Ting and Su Xiaoxiao were still suspicious, so they got the assassin to secretly follow Sai Huatuo.

After knowing that Sai Huatuo had been threatened by Feng Xiaoran with his grandson, the assassin brought the news back to Zhuge Qing’s residence.

Thus, the few of them had their next plan. Zhuge Qing entered the palace and asked the Western Jin Emperor to issue a decree for the Purple Lingzhi. If Feng Xiaoran obediently handed over the Purple Lingzhi, it was fine. He was not afraid if he did not hand it over. Anyway, he had been lured away.

The remaining people split into two groups. Wei Ting and the assassin went to save Sai Huatuo’s grandson, while Su Xiaoxiao, Mei Ji, and Sai Huatuo came to get the Purple Lingzhi.

An hour later, Su Xiaoxiao and the others returned to the courtyard at the back door of the inn.

As soon as Sai Huatuo entered, he saw four children squatting on the ground and playing marbles. The triplets were bold, mainly because they were playing. The other six-year-old boy was a little timid and squatted on the ground without saying anything.

“Little brother, it’s your turn,” Erhu said.

“Here.” Dahu handed him a marble.

Xiaohu jumped up. “Hurry up and fight!”

Xiaohu cheered. “Amazing! Amazing!”

The little boy revealed a shy smile.

Tears welled up in Sai Huatuo’s eyes. He took a few trembling steps and held back the lump in his throat. “Qi’er.”

When the little boy heard a familiar voice, he turned around and hurriedly threw down the marbles in his hand and pounced into Saihua Tuo’s arms. “Grandpa!”

Sai Huatuo held his lost and found grandson tightly in his arms. His son was dead, and his grandson was his only thought in the world.

Otherwise, even if Feng Xiaoran killed him, he would not be threatened by him.

“Can… can I see you again? I’m sorry, Sir… you saved me once… and saved my grandson again… I… I want to apologize to you in person.”

“There’s no need,” Wei Ting said. “Leave. Don’t appear in front of Sir in the future.”

Saving innocent children was human nature, but it did not mean that he had forgiven Saihua Tuo’s betrayal.

Saihua Tuo bowed deeply to Zhuge Qing’s room with tears in his eyes and left with the little boy.

Eunuch He left the palace with Feng Xiaoran and came to Feng Xiaoran’s residence. At this moment, Feng Xiaoran still did not know that the lingzhi had long been stolen. Sai Huatuo had already left with his grandson. He brought Eunuch He to the storeroom and let him choose it himself.

“All the Purple Lingzhi is here. If you want that, take it yourself.” He looked very generous.

Eunuch He was not picky. He simply took everything all at once.

Feng Xiaoran’s teeth hurt.

Even if these Purple Lingzhi were not the best, they were not bad. It had cost him a lot of money, okay? He actually did not leave any for him!

Eunuch He brought the Purple Lingzhi back to the palace to report.

The Western Jin Emperor was also generous. He said to Zhuge Qing, “Bring them all back. Let Physician Qin see which stalk to use later.”

Zhuge Qing thanked him but did not leave.

“Anything else?” the Western Jin Emperor asked.

Zhuge Qing said bluntly, “We’re still missing a medicinal item.”

“What medicinal item?”

“Jade Coral. ”

Hearing that it was Jade Coral, the Western Jin Emperor’s expression did not look good.

Zhuge Qing looked at him strangely. “Your Majesty… seems to know about the

Jade Coral?”

How could the Western Jin Emperor only know about it?
