One second to remember [Brushstroke Pavilion] [Free of charge, read the wonderful novel!]

Because of Shen Ninghua's domineering attitude, although the palace was silent, it was not the least bit chaotic. Only Xia Jingqiu and Yang Yingxue, who lived in the Emerald Bamboo Pavilion, were frightened to death by the chicken pox.

Xia Jingqiu paced back and forth in the room, the expression on her face constantly changing, "I had originally only wanted to come here to borrow a place to stay, and also wanted to borrow the name of Princess Shen Ninghua to look for an opportunity to climb up the branch for you. Who would have thought that I would encounter such a troublesome matter? "That's chicken pox, it's almost like a plague. As long as we have it, very few people will be able to survive. Xue'er, we have to think of a way to get out of here!"

Yang Yingxue sat on the bedside, her slim figure making her look extremely fragile, "Mother, the emperor has already ordered the entire County Lord's Mansion to be sealed off, we can't possibly leave. Furthermore, after so many days, I keep having the feeling that Shen Ninghua is not normal.

Yang Yingxue disagreed in her heart, "Mother, did you forget how Shen Ninghua's princess title came about? Many people thought that there would be no saving the Jiang Nan plague this time, but Shen Ninghua helped to develop a formula for it. She has saved thousands of people in the Jiang Nan Plague, and in the eyes of ordinary people, she will definitely die.

Xia Jingqiu frowned and slightly calmed down.

Also, you should also know that the emperor already knows that we live in the princess' mansion, so we definitely won't have a chance to leave. In that case, why not let your cousin know that we are in the same heart as her, and we will definitely support her through this crisis.

Xia Jingqiu was stunned for a moment before gritting her teeth and saying, "Fine, what you said makes sense. Since we can't get out, why don't we just give it our all!"

"Yes." Yang Yingxue nodded with a smile on her face, "Although we are going through thick and thin with her, we cannot ignore our own safety. I will personally show you two fortune bags and have someone send them to my cousin and cousin."

"Good, Xue'er is really smart." Xia Jingqiu's expression relaxed a lot. Shen Ninghua had already ordered everyone to stay in their own courtyards unless necessary, so they naturally had to be obedient and not go out. Since they couldn't leave their homes, they could only have their servants send them off.

In the afternoon, Shen Ninghua received a gift from Yang Yingxue. She carefully measured the dense needlework on the needle and smiled, "I'll accept the kind intentions of my aunt and cousin and thank them on my behalf. Once the commotion has subsided, I'll send them back the gift."

When the servant heard this, he hurriedly bowed and left. His speed was extremely fast, as if there were poisonous snakes and fierce beasts behind him.

Shen Ninghua passed the fortune bag to Bai Yu. "Tie it up in front of Xuan Lin's bed. Whether it's useful or not, it's still good to seek lucky chances."

"Yes, miss."

The old imperial physician at the side, holding a silver needle, shook his head in embarrassment. In the past few days, this child's hands and body had been pierced by needles, and now his body was covered with acne. He couldn't even find the place to place the needle.

"Princess, as you can see, the young master is no longer suitable for acupuncture. We can only think of another way."

The most taboo thing about varicella was that it could not be released. If he used medicine to suppress the varicella and prevent it from appearing on the surface of his body, then it would definitely damage his internal organs. His internal energy would be the weakest, and once the pimples grew inside his body, there would be no cure. Right now, Shen Xuanlin's symptoms seem severe, but in reality, he wasn't in too much of a crisis.

"No problem, you guys can go down to rest first. I'll just watch Xuan Lin."

The imperial physicians nodded and walked out with heavy steps.

Shen Ninghua helped Shen Xuanlin cover his body with a blanket to prevent him from being exposed to the wind.

Shen Xuanlin struggled to open his swollen eyes and gave Shen Ninghua a smile. "Big Sis, I'm fine. Don't listen to the nonsense of those imperial physicians. I feel much better now."

The child was extremely afraid of himself and even consoled her. It truly made one's heart ache, "I know that you will definitely recover soon."

Shen Xuanlin nodded his head, and his eyes narrowed even more, "Elder sister, is Yun Chuan alright?"

"He's fine. I got Bi Zhu to take care of him."

On the second day after Shen Xuanlin's pox appeared, Yun Chuan's body also had pimples. It was too late for Shen Ninghua to run on both sides, so she could only send Bi Zhu to his courtyard to take care of him.

He didn't know if it was because Yun Chuan's body was better, but he was faster than Shen Xuanlin.

"Yun Chuan is fine, I'm relieved. If it's because I've infected him, then I've committed a great sin." Yun Chuan was brought back by the eldest young mistress, although it was said that he was her reading companion, the two of them ate and slept the same daily. Although he was not particularly smart, he knew that the eldest young mistress treated Yun Chuan as her younger brother, he naturally did not wish for anything to happen to happen to Yun Chuan to make the eldest young mistress sad.

After taking care of Shen Xuanlin, Shen Ninghua returned to the Rebirth Hall. Bai Yan brought two boxes of ingredients into the room and said with a dark expression, "Miss, we found some problems with the ingredients, this servant has collected them all."

Shen Ninghua stepped forward and picked up a piece of ginseng. With a cold glint in his eyes, he said, "To think that you'd use the money from a snake to make medicinal herbs. What a vicious thought."

"That's right, if the young master were to use these medicinal materials, he would probably die a long time ago."

The killing intent in Shen Ninghua's eyes intensified. "Did you find out who did it?"

"There are people from the Fifth Prince, Baili Jinze, the Old Lord Feng of the Zhao family, and some of the crown prince's shadows."

"Heh." Shen Ninghua could not help laughing out loud. "There really are so many people here. They think so highly of me. So many people have set their eyes on me."

Bai Yu harrumphed coldly in his heart. To be honest, they didn't have much conflict with the young miss. However, they had been merciless enough to take advantage of the young mistress's situation and attack the princess.

Shen Ninghua threw the ginseng back to him and said, "Keep these herbs safely. How did they send them over to me? I have to return them!" "The moon is bright and round, and everyone has their share of blessings. Who hasn't gotten sick and needs to take medicine?!"

"Yes, Miss, please rest assured, this servant will definitely take care of this matter."

Chu Junyi entered the room and saw the herbs on the floor. She stopped Bai Cai from taking them away. "You don't have to wait any longer. You can return some of them to the sect now."

"Originally, when the emperor saw that Baili Jinze had woken up and was opposed to marrying Zhao Ruyun, he thought about not agreeing to this marriage. He didn't expect that when Baili Jinze was wandering around the garden in the afternoon, he was bitten by a snake and the venom was even stronger this time. Fortunately, Zhao Ruyun was in the palace, she used her mouth to suck out the venom from the body of Baili Jinze." Chu Junyi smiled and smiled, "The emperor saw that Baili Jinze had woken up and was extremely against marrying Zhao Ruyun."

Thinking of the expression on Baili Jinze's face, Shen Ninghua suddenly laughed out loud. "Hehe, this is all fate. Just now I had to cure the snake poison, and later I was bitten by a poisonous snake. This is heaven's will …" As she said this, she suddenly thought of something as coincidental as this.

"Did you set up the poisonous snake that bit and injured Baili Jinze?"

Chu Junyi pursed her lips mysteriously. "I was just there to make things easier for them. The one who brought the viper into the palace and set Baili Jinze up was the third prince." He had only secretly replaced it with a venomous snake.

Shen Ninghua covered her lips and laughed, "That's great. These medicinal ingredients are all excellent, and their preparation methods are also excellent. If you don't carefully analyze them, you won't be able to tell the problem at all, so you should send some to Baili Jinze first."

"Yes." Chu Junyi nodded. "Leave some of the ingredients here. I'll take them out later."

As soon as Bai Yan finished packing the medicinal plants, someone came to report. "Princess, the young mistress of the Xiao family has sent over the medicinal plants. The Emperor has sealed the courtyard and has not been able to enter. He has only ordered someone to bring them in."

Shen Ninghua frowned as her gaze turned cold. "Bring in the medicinal herbs that she sent in."

In next to no time, someone brought in the medicinal materials.

Looking at the medicinal ingredients, Shen Ninghua ridiculed, "These medicinal ingredients are all good. Take an old ginseng, for example. It should be at least a hundred years old."

Chu Junyi's expression was rather unsightly. "Ninghua, are there any problems with the ingredients?"

"There is nothing wrong with that. Those who are healthy are not fatal. If they are consumed by someone who is gravely ill, then it is likely that they will give out more Qi and breathe in less."

Chu Junyi's expression was cold. She grabbed the herbs and asked, "Do you think a healthy person won't die from eating it?"

"Right." Shen Ninghua nodded.

"Alright, bring these medicinal herbs back as well!" He remembered the kindness the Xiao family had shown him, and he was able to tolerate it. However, he had endured it because he hoped that the Xiao family would be satisfied with what they had done, and would be able to enjoy a life of prosperity instead of being greedy and forcing him to compromise step by step.

During such a dangerous time, Xiao Huan Xi clearly knew that he liked Shen Ninghua. Yet, she still dared to make a move on Shen Xuanlin. She wanted to use a knife to stab his heart.

If something were to happen to Shen Xuanlin, he didn't even dare to imagine how sad Shen Ninghua would be. So, this time, Xiao Huan Xi must be taught a lesson!

Shen Ninghua nodded and said, "Okay, bring them back with you."

That night, Chu Junyi pushed open the door and entered the room just as the maid was serving Xiao Huan Xi the antidote for calming her mind.

Seeing no one for a long time, Xiao Huan Xi's eyes filled with joy. She quickly got up and ran over to him. "Brother Jun Yi, you've come to see me."

She looked pure and beautiful, so it was hard to imagine that such a woman would attack a teenage child without holding back. "I heard that you've been taking the Soul-Calming Elixir for the past two days, so I specially ordered someone to bring it over."

A hint of panic flashed across Xiao Huan Xi's eyes as she heard the ingredients. She then put on a simple look. "Don't worry, big brother Jun Yi. It's just that I can't sleep soundly tonight. It's not a big deal."

"That's great. I had someone boil some medicine and drink it while it's still hot." Chu Junyi ordered for the medicine bowl to be brought over. There were even some ginseng on the tray. "I got them from outside. They're over a hundred years old and good for the body."

Xiao Huan Xi's face paled. She had asked someone to deliver those medicinal ingredients to Shen Ning Hua's residence!
