"You must hand it over to Li Zhiyao, without mistake."

"Yes."

Little Li answered and respectfully left.

Song Yuanqi walked to the window and stroked the stubble on his chin as he sneered.

The mantis stalks the cicada, and the yellow sparrow follows.

The night passed quickly.

On the next day, when Shen Kouqing woke up, the first thing she did was to go find Song Yichen. He discovered that he was sleeping soundly, and the poison in his body had also stabilized. Although Shen Kouqing could control the poison to not spread further, she was still unable to completely cure it. If this continued, Song Yichen's body would really become crippled.

Although Shen Kouqing was anxious, she didn't lose her reason. She once again gave Song Yichen acupuncture, forcing him to draw out a portion of her poison blood, and left the emperor's eldest son's mansion.

Due to not being able to buy the medicinal herb she had previously read about in the ancient books due to Meng Zhixia, she had to go and take a look today.

But it was strange.

Shen Kouqing went through all the great medicine halls, but did not find any herbs that she needed. Some even said that she had never heard of them.

Shen Kouqing did not believe it. The ancient book was very detailed, it was impossible that it did not exist.

After walking for a long time, Shen Kouqing still could not find anything, but suddenly her eyes lit up as she thought of a person.

After lunch, Ji Weiqing came over.

The reason he could achieve his current achievements was all because of Song Yichen. Upon hearing that Shen Kouqing had passed on the message, she rushed over.

"Greetings Royal granddaughter consort, thousand years, thousand years, thousand years." Ji Weiqing kneeled on the ground and bowed respectfully.

Shen Kouqing did not waste any time with the so-called words, and asked Ji Weiqing to take a seat, and let Ting Zhu take out the ancient book, and pass it to Ji Weiqing.

"I wonder if sire has seen this herb before?"

Shen Kouqing said as she watched Ji Weiqing's movements.

Others may not have seen him, but since Ji Weiqing was able to go to the main hospital, it showed that he was capable, and might actually know him.

As long as they knew each other, things would be much easier.

Ji Weiqing frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded his head lightly. He clenched his fists and said, "Reporting to the Royal granddaughter consort, this humble subject has indeed seen this herb before, it's just that …"

"But what …"

A look of shame flashed across Ji Weiqing's face as he sighed: "When this humble subject was at home, my father once had a stalk, but because it was too rare, it was sold at a high price. Since then, this humble subject has never seen it before."

"Is it really that rare?" Shen Kouqing raised her eyebrows. When she saw that the grass looked normal and ordinary, she just couldn't shake off the feeling that it was a rare treasure.

Ji Weiqing nodded without hesitation.

How could he dare to joke about something like this? He knew that the medicinal herb was there to save people. This was something that had accumulated kindness for a long time, and there was no reason for him to hide it, not to mention that the other party was the emperor's eldest grandson.

The hope that he had built up with great difficulty was extinguished just like that. Shen Kouqing was unwilling to accept this, after thinking for a while, he asked again: "Is there anything that has the same medicinal properties as this?"

Ji Weiqing laughed: "The Empress knows medicine too, so she naturally knows of the principle of being similar to gods. Even if they are similar, in the end, it still isn't so.

Shen Kouqing was desperate to get treatment.

After a while, Shen Kouqing sighed, and the only clue she had ended it once again.

This medicine may not be common, but it is not extinct. In the future, this humble subject will pay extra attention to the Empress. If there is any news, this humble subject will definitely inform the Empress. Ji Weiqing comforted her.

Shen Kouqing nodded and let him go down.

Just as Ji Weiqing left, Ting Zhu entered with Elder Tang behind him.

kneeled down to receive the orders for tonight's Seventh Festival Gala.

Song Yichen's body was not feeling well, he had not been able to go to court for two days, the emperor was very worried, upon hearing that Song Yichen had woken up, he immediately went to the palace, and had to personally witness Song Yichen's safety.

Forget it, even the Emperor couldn't find an antidote, so how could he say it was her?

Shen Kouqing ate lunch and rested for a while before she got up to comb her makeup.

She wanted to serve Shen Kouqing, but she made a new set of clothes for him, and made him wear it today.

Ting Zhu didn't know what she meant, but she had always listened to Shen Kouqing's words. Wearing a water green colour, she looked like a lotus after rain.

"Esteemed Empress, is this appropriate …" Ting Zhu kept looking at herself in the mirror, she was not used to it.

Her hair was tied into a bun, and she wore the most fashionable style of the capital. The material she wore was also Su Jin, which was made from Su Zhou. She was only a servant girl, so how could she wear such good clothes?

Ting Zhu was trembling with fear, thinking that Shen Kouqing wanted to give him up as a gift, she tried to find an excuse to take it off.

"It's pretty good." Shen Kouqing nodded, this way, the impression on him would become even deeper.

"Empress, what do you want to do?" Ting Zhu kept feeling that Shen Kouqing's smile was treacherous, as if she was going to sell herself out.

Shen Kouqing laughed and did not speak. She casually combed her hair into a bun, wore a white shirt, and stepped into the carriage by the door.

In comparison, the white was much simpler and the green was even more tender. It was like a leaf that was full of rainwater, and with a slight force, it could pinch water out of it.

This was the first time Shen Kouqing had seen such a tender Ting Zhu.

"Get up the palanquin!"

As the sedan bearer's voice echoed in the room, the sedan lifted up and began to move.

After roughly an hour, they arrived at the imperial palace.

Unfortunately, Shen Koudan had also arrived.

Such a narrow path for enemies to tread …

When Shen Koudan saw Shen Kouqing, she was extremely furious, her thoughts were pulled back to that night, Song Yuanhui grabbed her hand, and kept on shouting Shen Kouqing's name.

To a woman, there was nothing more cruel.

Shen Kouqing did not see her, so all of her attention was on Ting Zhu. It was only when she turned around and felt someone's gaze on her, that she turned around and looked around, and directly collided with Shen Koudan's gaze of hatred.

Although Shen Koudan took it quickly, Shen Kouqing still saw it. She was slightly stunned, recently she did not offend Shen Koudan, why does she look like she wanted to swallow herself up?

Shen Kouqing was suspicious in her heart, but she still got off the horse carriage and smiled at Shen Koudan, as a form of greeting.

Shen Koudan suppressed the anger in her heart and bowed.

Since he was in the palace, Shen Koudan did not want to be caught red-handed.

As he walked into Supreme Harmony Palace, the sounds of music rose and fell. The faint aroma of wine was mixed with the scent of the woman's rouge and cosmetics, mixing together with the sounds of music.

As Shen Kouqing sat down, Song Yichen had already arrived in advance, and after resting for a day, his complexion had already improved by a lot.

"Can you bear it?" Shen Kouqing worriedly asked.

"Madame, please be at ease. Your husband feels very good." Song Yichen gave a gentle smile. Disregarding the fact that it was in public, he pinched Shen Kouqing's nose.

The two of them rarely acted in such an ambiguous manner, causing Shen Kouqing to be startled, but she did not say a word, she only lowered her head and laughed.
