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

Chu Junyi poured out the branches she'd cut and returned. She saw Hong Ling walking out with two pots in her arms. A smile played across her face.

The more time he spent with Ning Hua, the more reluctant he became to leave her. He wished that he could hold her in his hands for twenty-four hours a day. However, thinking that the two of them could be together forever after six months, he couldn't help but sigh, "It's so long."

Shen Ninghua raised her gaze. "What's so long?"

"Of course, six months is a long time. Xiao Hua, I want to marry you home right now."

Shen Ninghua was too lazy to respond to him. "Do you think marrying as a princess is so simple? Let alone six months, there are even three years of preparations."

Chu Junyi nodded approvingly. "Congee Hua is right. Six months for the three princesses to get married, that's too tight." In the next few days, he would have to carefully prepare his things. Although he couldn't completely prepare for the wedding, he had to do his best.

After accompanying Shen Ninghua for lunch, he pondered over the things he needed to prepare for the next six months as he returned to the Xiao family. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Xiao Jingran walk over angrily: "Where did you go?"

Although he tried his best to restrain himself, the anger in his voice still made him uncomfortable.

"Foster father, I went out to take a look. What happened?"

"What's wrong? In your heart, don't you think this place is your home? Your sister Xiao Huan Xi has lost more than half her life for you, and you're still in the mood to stroll around! " Xiao Jingran knew that Xiao Huan Xi had been standing outside for an entire night. He was so angry that he blamed Chu Junyi for being heartless.

Chu Junyi's tone was cold. "I have my elder sister with me, and the imperial physician too. I don't know much about medicine, so what's the use of standing guard outside the door?"

"You actually dare to speak like that? In the end, you are someone who is going to get married even when you grow up. It seems that I cannot restrain you. Since that's the case, you better take care of yourself." Xiao Jingran turned around with a gloomy face and left angrily with a flick of his sleeve.

Chu Junyi's expression changed before returning to normal. She took large strides towards Xiao Huan Xi's courtyard.

At this moment, the imperial physician had gathered in a courtyard. When he reached the door, Chen Jun happened to have finished his diagnosis.

"Uncle Chen, I need you to come over personally. Come to my courtyard and drink some water to rest."

Knowing that he had something to ask him, Chen Jun did not decline and followed him into the study.

"Uncle Chen," Chu Junyi interjected, "my sister, she …"

"Originally, I was just a bit too tired and caught a cold, so I just needed to drink some medicine and then I would be fine. I just didn't want to suddenly have a high fever. This is really hard for people to understand."

Chu Junyi's brows tightened. "A sudden fever. Is there any medicine that would have such an effect?"

"I can't find any trace of drugs." Chen Jun was puzzled as well. Without any drugs, the weather was slowly getting hotter. A common cold should not have the symptoms of a high fever.

The two of them naturally didn't think that Xiao Huan Xi was going crazy because she wanted to attract Chu Junyi's attention. She had used all sorts of methods. Now that she was in icy water for fifteen minutes, it was time for the good guys to freeze to death.

"Please take note, Uncle Chen. Don't let anything happen to her."

Chu Junyi's heart warmed as she smiled. "Thank you for all these years, Uncle Chen."

"This is what I should do, so you don't need to say any words of thanks. You're also going to get married soon, if it's your … "Mother knows that, and I don't know how happy I should be. Ning Hua is a good child, but she has a strong personality. In the future, you will definitely be the one helping her. We should help each other, and not cause a ruckus just because of a small matter, lest we lose our minds."

Chu Junyi held the bottle in her hand and nodded with a smile. "Yes, don't worry Uncle Chen, I was the one who proposed marriage. I will treat her well and not leave any regrets between us."

Chen Xi nodded. He could not help but recall the woman who had the same fiery personality. He sighed inwardly. Her lover had passed away, and she had lost her life because of her beauty. He could only blame her for believing in the wrong person.

"Uncle Chen, what's wrong?"

Chen Jun snapped out of his daze and reverted back to his usual solemn expression, "It's fine, right, recently the Xiao Clan was not peaceful either. There were people investigating the matter of the chicken pox spreading last time, but it was suppressed by the Emperor in the end. It looks like everything is fine now, but it might happen any day now.

"Mm, I know, don't worry."

After sending off Chen Jun, Chu Junyi put away the powder and leaned against the window to look at the bonsai. A trace of warmth flashed through her eyes.

Xiao Feng Jue looked quite tired, but his usual cold face prevented anyone from noticing anything amiss. "Father, don't be too anxious. The imperial physician is already here and the Chen Courtyard has been here many times. Huan Xi will be fine."

"We'll see what's the use of drinking medicine regularly every day. But even after seven days have passed, there still hasn't been a single trace of improvement. No, we can't continue like this. I have to go to the palace and request an audience with the emperor."

Xiao Feng Jue disagreed, "Father, what's the use of going to see the Emperor at this time?" The emperor took care of everything daily, controlling the life and death of everyone in the world. Even the imperial princess didn't deserve to be bothered by Xiao Huan Xi, who was only the daughter of an official.

"Didn't Shen Ninghua say a while ago that he'd given an isolated medical book to the emperor? That medical book even had a prescription to treat the plague, so it should be very unique. Who knows, maybe there's a prescription to treat Huan Xi?"

Xiao Feng Jue's chest tightened, "Father, do you know that there is a cure for the plague in the medical book? Can the Emperor casually take it out for others to see? Besides, what are you going to say after entering the palace? " With such an important medical book, even if the Xiao Clan had contributed greatly, they still didn't have the qualifications to ask for it.

With Xiao Feng Jue's words, Xiao Jing Ran's burning heart became clear-headed. This matter was too dangerous, maybe he didn't get the medical book, and instead made the emperor unhappy: "What if we don't get the medical books? "That's right, Shen Ninghua didn't hand in the medical book. She also knew a lot about medicine, so she might have already completely studied it. If that's the case, then we should find her to treat Huan Xi as well."

Xiao Feng gritted her teeth as a trace of anger flashed past her eyes. Her father was also an expert in leading troops into battle, so why was he so confused when it involved Xiao Hanxi? "Father, do you know the identity of the Shen Ning Hua you're talking about?"

"What does that have to do with her identity?" Xiao Jingran didn't care at all.

"Right now, she's the one the emperor has personally bestowed upon her, Princess Radiant!" Xiao Feng's voice was cold and hard, unable to understand why he said so unreasonably, "Do you think that she is still an unfavoured direct descendant of the Shen family, able to make others do as they please? Not to mention that from the very beginning, she had never submitted to anyone, and now she doesn't have to worry about it either. "

"Although she's a princess, we can't just ignore her death. Furthermore, she's not going to be married to Jun Yi, and Huan Xi is her sister-in-law. As her sister-in-law, how can she not care about her sister-in-law's life and death?"

Xiao Feng Jue's chest was blocked, if the person in front of him was not his father, he would have ordered his men to send him flying, "Father, why did Huan Xi become like this? You should know why, right? Even if Shen Ninghua is called over, do you think she will treat it properly? "

"She dares to not treat me properly. If she wants to marry Jun Yi, then she must be respectful to Huan Xi. Otherwise, I won't forgive her!"

At the door, Chu Feng, who was about to enter, closed his eyes. He could only feel his approval towards the Xiao family crumbling into powder. He did not want to continue listening, so he quietly left.

Xiao Feng Jue was slightly agitated, "Father, you seem to have forgotten what I just said. Shen Ning Hua is now a princess, and she has her own Princess Mansion. Even if she marries, she won't enter the Xiao family's residence!"

"You kept saying you were helping Shen Ninghua. Don't tell me you want to make your sister's body burn from the fever?" At this time, his heart was filled with worry for Xiao Huan Xi and he couldn't listen to anything else.

Xiao Feng Jue stayed silent for a while before speaking, "I'll handle this matter. Father, you don't need to interfere."

Xiao Jingran frowned. Seeing how determined he was, he finally nodded his head and said, "Alright, Huan Xi must get well!"

Xiao Feng Jue walked straight out of the courtyard to the door of Chu Junyi's courtyard. After a moment of hesitation, he walked in. "Jun Yi …"

Chu Junyi was practicing her swordsmanship in the yard. Her sword was like a swimming dragon, dancing nimbly with a cold gleam. When she heard the voice, she calmed down. Otherwise, she wouldn't have known how to face her older brother, who had called out for more than ten years, "Big brother, why are you here?"

"Jun Yi, Huan Xi's illness hasn't changed at all. I'd like you to find Princess Zhao Hua and help her take a look."

Chu Junyi was silent for a moment before she said, "Big brother, you should be clear about what happened in the past as well. Huan Xi and Congee Hua are not on good terms with each other, so why don't you get Xiao Hua to come?"

"I know, but there's nothing I can do when the time comes. Consider this as me begging you as your big brother." Xiao Feng stood straight where she was, like a sharp sword, begging for help. Her tone was as sharp as ever, and her entire body was shining with a cold light.

Chu Junyi met his gaze, standing firm and unmoving like a pine tree rooted in the ground. No matter how strong the wind, frost, or snow were, they would never be able to shatter that heroic spirit of his.

In the end, Xiao Feng Jue took the initiative to look away and said in a deep voice, "You've called me big brother for more than ten years already. Why are you calling me big brother so many times in exchange for a chance for Shen Ninghua to heal Huan Xi?"

Chu Junyi's heart skipped a beat, and the look in her eyes deepened. "Are you serious?" Using their brotherly love for over ten years to help Xiao Huan Xi get a chance to heal? He didn't even know when he could use kinship to exchange for it.

Xiao Feng remained resolute: "Yes, I am serious."

Chu Junyi's expression was grave, and her voice was so cold that it made one shiver. "Alright, I'll agree on behalf of Congee Hua!"

Xiao Feng Jue nodded and didn't say anything else. He abruptly turned around and walked out of the yard.

Inside the palace, Shen Ninghua frowned upon hearing the news. He then chuckled and said, "Since Xiao Feng has spoken, I shall make a sharp sword and cut off Chu Junyi's hesitation bit by bit!"
