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

The news of the Ice Snow Lotus and the thousand year old Lingzhi concocting the medicine had quickly spread throughout the capital. Many officials had gone to the Xiao family to ask if there were any remaining antidotes. They just left with hope, but returned disappointed.

In the room, Xiao Huan Xi woke up feeling weak all over her body and a splitting headache. After a while, she finally got used to the bright light in the room. She covered her eyes with her hands and asked the maid, "What happened to me?"

"Miss, you're awake?" The maid at the side cheered in joy and quickly ran out to call for someone.

Xiao Feng was the first to walk in. His cold face did not reveal any expression.

Xiao Huan Xi's heart couldn't help but tremble as she looked at him in confusion, "Big brother, what's wrong with me? Why did I suddenly faint?" In order to frame Shen Ninghua, she had used a highly potent poison, all for the sake of ruining his reputation. By doing so, her brother wouldn't like her anymore.

"All of you, leave." Xiao Feng Jue turned his head and ordered the maid beside him.

Xiao Huan Xi had a bad premonition, "Big brother, did something happen?"

Xiao Feng gazed at her from head to toe, her cold and slightly narrowed eyes containing a trace of anger: "When your body is better, I will ask father to arrange a marriage for you. When that time comes, you will marry out of the capital.

Xiao Huan Xi's ears exploded like thunder, her mind went blank and her voice became sharp, "Big brother, what are you talking about? What did you want to marry out of the capital for? "Why do you want me to get married?"

"You still don't understand why?" Xiao Feng Jue shouted in a low voice, "Did I warn you not to provoke Shen Ning Hua? Did you forget what I just said?"

Shen Ninghua? Hearing this name, the excitement in Xiao Huan Xi's heart calmed down, and he obviously winced, "Big brother, when have I provoked her? I remember that before I fainted, I took Yang Yingxue to see the birthday present I prepared for my father. I didn't expect to encounter a problem unlocking the lock, so I used Yang Yingxue's hairpin, and after getting injured, I can't remember anything.

Xiao Feng snorted coldly. The mockery in her eyes made Xiao Huan Xi feel guilty.

"Big brother, why are you looking at me like that? Can you explain to me? Could it be that I've been unconscious for a long time?"

"Not only have you been unconscious for a long time, you've also completely disturbed your father's birthday banquet. In front of all the civil and military officials, your father had a conflict with Shen Ninghua, and in the end, it even reached the emperor."

Xiao Huan Xi's eyes widened. Did something happen? Shen Ninghua's reputation must have been ruined even more by now. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but throb in her heart. "Big Brother, is father alright? How did he settle the matter in the end?"

Seeing that she was forcefully suppressed into joy, Xiao Feng's brows furrowed even more tightly as disappointment filled his heart, "I'm afraid that you will be disappointed. Shen Ninghua is the one who's fine, not only is she fine, but she has also caused the Emperor to feel pity for her, warning everyone here that they shouldn't find trouble with her in the future. She's Duke Zhao Hua Palace now, and she'll be Princess Zhao Hua in the future! "You are a pearl in front of your father, and a pebble in front of her. If she really wants to pursue the matter, the Emperor will also stand by her side."

"How can this be!" Xiao Huan Xi gritted her teeth and said, "Isn't there a problem with my poison? Why is she fine? Is my pain for nothing?"

"Thank God you survived. What else do you want?" "For you, father's face was damaged. The Emperor suspects the Xiao family and has even boiled the family's most precious thousand year old lingzhi for you to cure. Is that not enough?"

Looking at Xiao Huan Xi's ignorant face, the fury in Xiao Feng's heart burned even hotter. She told her everything that had happened after she had fainted.

After hearing what he had to say, Xiao Huan Xi was dumbfounded. Why was everything completely different from what she had expected?

"Big brother …"

"Since you understand the situation clearly, you should bear the consequences for your stupidity. Be honest and wait for someone to marry you!" Xiao Feng was extremely patient.

"Big brother, I don't want to get married." Xiao Huan Xi was completely stunned. Her big brother had always kept his word. He said that he would arrange for her to marry him as soon as possible. She didn't want that! As he thought of this, he hurriedly got up from his bed and knelt down, tightly clutching Xiao Feng's clothes. "Big brother, I beg of you, please don't marry me. I won't marry anyone but big brother Jun Yi."

Xiao Feng Jue jerked his head back, "Jun Yi is your brother!"

"But we are not related by blood. Big Brother, I am your little sister. I have never begged you before, so today, I will kneel down and beg you. "Becoming brother Jun Yi's wife is my greatest wish. As long as you agree to help me, I'm willing to do anything. Big brother, please help me!"

"Stupid!" Xiao Feng Jue swung her aside, "You have to give up as soon as possible. Otherwise, I would rather break your legs and send you to another manor to be raised. I won't let you lose face."

Xiao Huan Xi crawled up and took out a hairpin from her jewelry box. With tears in her eyes, she said, "Big brother, if you force me to marry someone, I might as well die in front of you."

Xiao Feng turned her head, her sharp gaze sweeping across her throat.

That gaze was too sharp. Xiao Huan Xi's throat felt cold and her hands were shaking so much that she almost couldn't hold the hairpin.

"If you don't want me to force you, that's fine too. I'll make Jun Yi willingly marry you. I'll give you two months. If you can't do it, then obey the clan's arrangements!"

"Yes …" "Thank you, big brother." As Xiao Feng left, Xiao Huan Xi's legs gave way and she kneeled on the ground. She threw the hairpin in her hands onto the ground and hugged her knees as she cried out. "Wuwuwu …"

At the corner of the corridor, a figure quickly left without attracting anyone's attention.

Chu Junyi leaned against the bed and took out the letter that Ye Yi had delivered. A ray of light flashed across her eyes. Eldest brother actually chose to condone Xiao Huan Xi … That was true. They were a family after all. If they were related by blood, then they would stay there...

Shen Ninghua glanced at Chu Junyi's confused expression and put down the scroll in his hand. "Is Xiao Huan Xi awake?"

"Yes." Chu Junyi nodded and gathered her thoughts. "Ninghua, I've already sent my men to bring the snow lotus and the ganoderma to you. We've already sent Bai Yan to the storeroom."

Shen Ninghua's eyes flickered. His mood brightened a little as he replied, "Good."

The noise outside the yard continued to be heard. After a while, everything calmed down. Shen Ninghua glanced at the door. Chu Junyi understood immediately and went to hide behind the screen.

Bai Yan walked in with the trusted aide of the governor of the imperial citadel.

"Your servant greets the princess. The princess' residence has been thoroughly searched, but nothing unusual has been found. Your servant will report this to Sir Sun when I return."

Shen Ninghua nodded her head in satisfaction, "Thank you for your troubles."

Bai Yan handed over a bag at the right time. "Please have a cup of tea with the master."

"Yes, Bai Yan will send you off."

With this search, no one dared to rashly talk about the existence of Purple Sleep Flowers in the princess' mansion. After all, her Purple Sleep Flowers were flourishing and even the petals that had fallen were carefully kept. There were no lack of raw materials, so there was naturally nothing that could be used to make the poison.

In two days, benevolent and kind hall would take action.

Bai Yu came back with a card in his hand. "Miss, the Sixth Prince of the Great Yue State has arrived."

Shen Ninghua frowned, "Bu Jinglan?"

"Yes, this servant ordered someone to bring him to the Flower Hall, followed by His Highness, the Second Prince."

How could these two be together? Shen Ninghua stood up and said, "You go pass on the message, I'll go right after I change my clothes."

When Shen Ninghua arrived at the parlour, the two were sitting on the left and right side of the hall drinking tea. The atmosphere was a little awkward.

"Greetings to His Highness the Second Prince and Sixth Prince. The two of you are considered rare guests. How could you have the time to come visit me?"

Bu Jinglan put down his teacup and straightforwardly said, "Princess, is Shen Ling Han your sister?"

Shen Ling Han? Suddenly hearing someone mention this name for a long time, Shen Ninghua's gaze froze. She walked to a nearby seat and sat down. Bi Zhu happened to serve a cup of tea and drink a mouthful from her teacup. Only then did she look at Bu Jinglan.

"Shen Ling Han is indeed my little sister. I wonder why the Sixth Prince would suddenly mention her?"

Bu Jinglan stood up in a slightly anxious manner, "Quickly go and save her. She's in imminent danger."

Shen Ninghua took the teacup and leisurely asked, "Sixth Prince greets my sister?"

"Let's talk while we're on the road, otherwise we won't be able to make it in time."

Shen Ninghua raised her hand and put down the teacup, the bottom of the cup making a dull sound. Her cold eyes looked at Bu Jinglan and she said, "Sixth Prince, if you don't explain yourself, I won't go anywhere. Although my father has been demoted to a commoner, it is still possible to discipline my sister well, so there is no need to worry about the Sixth Prince. "

Bu Jinglan knitted his brows as he looked at Shen Ninghua. With a furious tone, he said, "No wonder Second Miss Shen is so afraid of you. Princess, as your eldest sister, you should treat your little sister well. You are only at the princess' mansion, but she, a weak girl, is struggling through life and even needs to support her father. How can you just sit idly by and allow her to do nothing? "

Shen Ninghua scoffed, "Is His Highness looking for justice for my sister?" I find it strange, as a prince, how could you have any relationship with my sister? "

"I nearly injured her when I was riding in the suburbs. Princess, now is not the time to worry about this. Are you going to save your sister or not?" Bu Jinglan was furious. As he thought of the woman who was like a white lotus, he felt a twinge of guilt and heartache. It was unfair that such a delicate and beautiful girl was suffering such inhuman suffering.

Shen Ninghua could not help but roll his eyes. Was this person really the legendary Sixth Prince of Great Yue State? The prince was actually bewitched by a girl. Was he not afraid of falling into someone else's trap?
