Under Xie Jingxi's repeated questioning, Fang Dai finally managed to explain to her what had happened.

Of course, Xie Jingxi blamed her for thinking that she was taking the risk, but she couldn't bear to say it. She endured her stomach full of anger, and carefully checked on the wounds on Fang Dai's wrist.

"Madam, I, I shouldn't have run away and taken the risk alone, but I think that Gu Qing was probably there to scare me, so I didn't tell you, I …"

Xie Jingxi didn't dare to look at her, her head drooping. She took a deep breath, "Don't mention the ones at the side, just tell me how he poisoned you."

After that, I didn't feel anything anymore. Madam, I'm fine, I can't leave this place before the eldest young master comes back, Fourth Young Master won't really want to kill me. "

Gu Qing would definitely not kill her, but he must have an even more important reason. Xie Jingxi thought about it, and felt that it was very possible that it was related to the Old Man Ji, he had poisoned Fang Dai, and now, the only thing that Xie Jingxi could seek help from was the Old Man Ji.

"Madam, please don't take the risk for me. If you really can't do it, I'll have to trouble Imperial Physician Pei to come take a look."

Xie Jingxi was in a dilemma in her heart, regarding the identity of the Old Man Ji, there were not many people who knew about it, even Fang Dai did not know the background, if Gu Qing did all this just to lure the Old Man Ji out, then asking the Old Man Ji to cure Fang Dai's poison would be taking a huge risk, if Gu Qing were to find out, the Old Man Ji would definitely be exposed, if Gu Yun was not there, if she did not protect the Old Man Ji, it would bring about trouble.

However, if he did not find the Old Man Ji, what would happen to Fang Dai? Whether Pei Zixi could cure the poison or not was unknown.

Right now, he could only invite Pei Zixi to take a look. If he really couldn't, then he could only take the risk to find the Old Man Ji.

"Ming Yu, go and invite the Imperial Physician Pei over personally. Tell them that Niu Niu is suffering from an emergency and don't say anything else." Xie Jingxi instructed.

"I'll go, girl!"

After Ming Yu left, Fang Dai said: "Madam, I've received news from Zhao Zhang. Eldest Young Master has already returned home, there should be more than a month left, as long as we can hold on for this period of time, we won't need to be afraid."

Xie Jingxi stared at her, "Don't think too much about it, even if the young master doesn't come back, Gu Qing wouldn't dare to do anything, his goal isn't us, it would be even more dangerous if the young master comes back, and now that you are also in Gu Qing's way, it would be better to just let him take precautions, just focus on detoxifying yourself, he has me as his target."

Fang Dai lowered her head in silence, feeling extremely guilty.

Pei Zixi thought that Niu Niu came back with an emergency ailment after he left, so he anxiously asked, "Young Mistress, what's the emergency?"

Xie Jingxi said apologetically: "I won't hide it from Imperial Physician Pei, it's not an emergency, it's just that the person in my room is poisoned, I'd like to invite you to take a look."

"Poisoned?" Pei Zixi frowned, then became serious.

Xie Jingxi explained the process of Fang Dai's poison to him, causing Pei Zixi's face to immediately change, "This is a method used in the martial arts world to poison others, the poison itself is not difficult to cure, but the poison used to detoxify is not easy to obtain, and the poison was injected through one's meridians, it requires the use of acupuncture and there is also the need for inner breathing. As for the other things, I am not able to do anything about it, it will not be fatal in the short term, but when it comes out it is very painful, so you will have to suffer."

So it was like that. Xie Jingxi's heart sank, if she wanted to find the antidote, she still had to find the Old Man Ji. Not giving up, she asked again, "I wonder where can she get the antidote that Imperial Physician Pei has mentioned?"

Pei Zixi said apologetically, "To be honest, although I have some insights into the way of medicine, it is not that I do not know much about it, but I cannot afford to, I am obsessed with fame and fortune and am trapped within the borders of the world, which is not something a book can do. As for the toxicity of the herbs, I have to personally test them and find out, but there is only one person that I know of, and it is unknown whether or not he is still alive, so I can probably not help much, but I can use other methods to alleviate the pain when I have an attack, and can use other herbs as well, but the results will be decided by fate."

Madam, as long as this poison isn't fatal, I can endure it.

Xie Jingxi did not hesitate too much, "Then I will have to trouble Imperial Physician Pei, but I still need to ask Imperial Physician Pei to write down the medicinal herbs used, as for whether I can find it, it will depend on heaven's will, but at least I will have to try."

"There's no problem with all of this. The most important thing for Grand Mistress to do is to prepare a room for this lady. I'll go back and prepare some things, I'll come back later tonight."

If the Imperial Physician Pei was willing to help, then things would be much easier. Xie Jingxi looked at the medicine on the slip of paper and thought about how she should go to the Old Man Ji to get it. However, since Gu Qing was going to use Fang Dai to lure her to the Old Man Ji, he would definitely keep an eye on her.

Xie Jingxi suddenly remembered that five days later was the birthday of the Imperial Noble Consort Shen. The Prince Jin's Wife should be back from the south and should be entering the palace, so she might as well ask the King Jin's men to go visit the palace instead. It was just that with Old Man Ji's temper, she did not know if she was willing to admit it or not.

From the looks of it, there seemed to be only one way to deceive people, it was just that in the next five days, Fang Dai would probably have to suffer.

On the third day, Fang Dai was infected with a poison and she did not allow anyone to go in to see her. Only Pei Zixi was present, and the worry that Xie Jingxi felt caused him to break out in a cold sweat from time to time.

"Miss, why don't you go in and rest? Sister Fang Dai will be fine, isn't she in Imperial Physician Pei?"

"Forget it, I can't sit still even inside the house. Go and prepare some hot water for Fang Dai, it should be enough."

Xie Jingxi's estimation made it to the second half of the night, and only after Ming Yu's hot water had been boiled and boiled did she finally manage to see Pei Zixi out, "Imperial Physician Pei has worked hard, how's the situation?"

Xie Jingxi seemed to be exhausted, with a head full of sweat. Xie Jingxi personally took the handkerchief and gave it to him, causing Pei Zixi to heave a sigh of relief before she said: "I guess I can be considered able to hold on for now, this poison is even stronger than I thought, even though I have tried my best, Miss Fang Dai still suffered greatly. Young Mistress, please take good care of her, I will go back and mix it with the prescription first, then we'll see about it again tomorrow."

"Imperial Physician Pei, I will not say my thanks!" Xie Jingxi bowed deeply in front of him, "I will never forget this favor."

"Grand Mistress is too serious, even for Lord Gu's sake, I should still try my best." Pei Zixi cupped his fists and replied, "I will take my leave first."

Xie Jingxi ruthlessly pinched her palm. She had received Gu Qing's great gift, and if she did not get it back in the future, then it would truly be a waste of Fang Dai's suffering.

The Queen teased her, "In this world, there is no one more carefree than you. To go out with King Jin for a walk in the park for over a month, how can we, the country bumpkins who stay in the palace everyday, live?"

Prince Jin's Wife laughed heartily, "Is there anything better than the palace in this world? How about I trade with you guys, are you guys not going to trade?"

The Imperial Consort Shen held her stomach as she said, "There really isn't a lack of Prince Jin's Wife in the palace. The moment she arrived, she immediately made our stomachs ache."

Prince Jin's Wife glanced at her stomach, "What do we care about the pain? It's better if you feel pain. If you don't, how are we going to add fuel to the fire?"

When it came to Imperial Consort Shen's pride, her face immediately bloomed with a smile. "Which one of you should quickly seal her mouth?"

Speaking of spring next year, Imperial Consort Shen's womb was about to hit the ground. It was said that Imperial Consort Shen was also a prince, and His Majesty had another prince.

"I heard that Second Prince got sick a few days ago. Is he well?" Prince Jin's Wife asked casually.

Imperial Noble Consort Shen laughed, "She just happened to drink a mouthful of chrysanthemum wine. She is already well, but he has a problem with my mother's wine, so it shouldn't be a big problem for him to take note of."

"That's good."

According to Imperial Physician Pei's suggestion, Second Prince was not an allergic disease, but if it was not, what kind of disease would it be, if it just happened to happen, or someone did something to it, if Second Prince really had some hidden disease, then it would definitely affect his future succession to the throne. After all, the successor of the imperial family was not allowed to have any hidden diseases.

After waiting for the nobles to finish their greetings, Xie Jingxi finally found a chance to speak to the Prince Jin's Wife, "It has been a long time since we've seen Princess Huang'er, her spirit and spirit has improved, have you gone to Su Zhou? I see the embroidery on your clothes, it looks like it is made from Su Xiu."

"It's good that you have good eyesight. You have indeed gone to the Suzhou region."

"Indeed, it looks good. I had wanted to do it before, but I heard that there was a embroidery lady with a great job of embroidering Su. I was planning to go take a look in the next few days."

What kind of thoughts did Prince Jin's Wife have? He was immediately able to tell that she wanted to say something, "If you like Su Xiu, then I just happened to bring a few handkerchief back, and it's the right time to bring them with me to match my clothes."

Prince Jin's Wife took out the handkerchief and passed it to Xie Jingxi, then took the opportunity to pass the slip of paper with the prescription written on it to Prince Jin's Wife. Prince Jin's Wife understood, "If I knew earlier, we would have had a good embroidery lady in our capital, why did I visit Su Zhou?

Xie Jingxi heaved a sigh of relief, "I haven't had any free time recently, even my grandmother hadn't visited for a long time. When Xuanchen comes back, I will have the mood to go and settle my clothes later."

"You little couples sure are envious. Gu Yun is blessed by the heavens to be able to come back safely." Prince Jin's Wife patted her hand, telling her to be at ease.

With the help of King Jin, things became much easier. Xie Jingxi anxiously waited every day, and told Bai Cao to pay attention to the situation over there. She hoped that the Old Man Ji would be able to get the antidote smoothly.
