Chapter 420: Protective Xiaoxiao

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Su Xiaoxiao’s move of beating up Xiao Duye was simply awesome!

Everyone seemed to see the young Qin Canglan.

Of course, Qin Canglan was not so good-looking.

It was clearly a woman’s body, but there was a young man’s heroic spirit between her eyebrows.

This was what it meant to be not inferior to men.

The hall was silent.

Compared to everyone’s surprise, a trace of killing intent flashed across Xiao

Duye’s eyes.

He was about to attack again, and this time,                    not show mercy.

Coincidentally, at this moment, a cough came from the dragon bed.

His heart trembled!

Eunuch Fu was the closest to the dragon bed. He scrambled over and looked at the coughing Emperor Jing Xuan, crying with joy!

“Your Majesty… Your Majesty, you’re fine… You’re alive… You don’t have to die…

Just based on this word, Eunuch Fu would be punished, but no one cared about this now.

Everyone’s gaze landed on Emperor Jing Xuan.

Emperor Jing Xuan was coughing and raised his hand weakly. His chest probably felt too uncomfortable…

Eunuch Fu hurriedly grabbed Emperor Jing Xuan’s wrist and choked with excitement.

He looked at everyone with tears in his eyes. “His Majesty has a pulse… Yes…

His Majesty is alive…”

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief that Emperor Jing Xuan had revived.

Whether it was sincere or not was another matter. On the surface, they had to celebrate.

Consort Xian took out her handkerchief and wiped her eyes. She held Princess Hui An’s hand and pounced over.

“Your Majesty! You scared me to death!”

On the phoenix carriage, the Empress Dowager put down the prayer beads in her hand and said calmly, “Back to the palace.”

“Aren’t you going in to take a look?” the eunuch in charge asked softly.

The Empress Dowager glanced at him coldly.

The eunuch in charge hurriedly lowered his head. “Yes, go back to Yongshou

Palace. You’re still sick. You shouldn’t be outside.”

He uttered,”After all this time, why do I feel that you’re not worried about your biological son, but about that little girl?”

The imperial physicians had mixed feelings.

On the one hand, it was the blessing of the entire dynasty that His Majesty had been saved. They should be glad about this.

However, on the other hand, this proved that the girl’s medical skills were really brilliant.

Could she really be lucky twice?

“Could it be… that Eunuch Fu made a mistake? His Majesty didn’t lose his pulse…”

Imperial Physician Li asked in confusion.

This was a society where men had a prejudice against women, let alone the imperial physicians who stood at the top of medical skills judging a little physician girl from the countryside.

If he really lost his pulse, they would not be able to treat him, let alone her.

Eunuch Fu was unhappy. “Sirs, you can suspect that I’m not a man… I’m indeed not… but I can still feel His Majesty’s pulse. His Majesty’s pulse had indeed disappeared! It was Physician Su who brought His Majesty back to life!” The imperial physicians fell silent.

They had no grudge against Su Xiaoxiao. The reason why they questioned her repeatedly was because of secular prejudice, but it was not only targeted at Su Xiaoxiao.

The one who was really dissatisfied was Xiao Duye.

He had been humiliated just now. Before he could regain his dignity, his father had been saved bv this girl!

If he attacked again,                  be in the wrong!

The last time he was so aggrieved was when he encountered Wei Ting! This girl’s ability to anger people to death… was comparable to Wei Ting’s!

“Are you alright?” Princess Jingning asked Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao said, “I’m fine. Did he touch you?”

Xiao Duye frowned. What kind of arrogant tone was this? So what if he touched her? Could it be that she could chop off his hand?

Su Xiaoxiao did have this intention.

However, Xiao Duye did not touch Princess Jingning.

Su Xiaoxiao took the sword from Princess Jingning’s hand and neatly sheathed it neatly with a wave of her hand!

Everyone uttered, “Not good, we got bowled over by how dashing she was…”

Xiao Duye clenched his fists coldly. He couldn’t even snatch it. Yet when she wanted it, Princess Jingning just gave it to her… Who was her brother?

Consort Xian held Emperor Jing Xuan’s hand and said with tears streaming down her face, “Your Majesty, Physician Su saved you!”

She had to give her future daughter-in-law a good impression!

Emperor Jing Xuan had no strength and quickly fell asleep again.

Consort Xian’s face turned pale. “Physician Su! His Majesty…”

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at Xiao Duye coldly and pulled Princess Jingning’s wrist

away.

Princess Jingning looked at the chubby hand on her wrist and thought to herself she had spoiled Su Daya. The latter even dare to tug her wrist… However, she did not break free and obediently let her pull her wrist.

The two of them came to the bed.

Su Xiaoxiao let go of Princess Jingning and opened Emperor Jing Xuan’s eyelids to look at his pupils. She placed three fingers on Emperor Jing Xuan’s pulse. She said, “Set up the screen and wait outside.”

“Did you hear that? All of you, retreat!” Consort Xian was arrogant as if she was the future Empress Dowager.

She suddenly met the Empress’s gaze and smiled. “Sister, please move too.”

Su Xiaoxiao looked at her. “And you.”

Consort Xian was speechless.

Other than Princess Jingning and Eunuch Fu, everyone else was cleared out. Su Xiaoxiao said, “Eunuch Fu, please help His Majesty up.”

“Yes, Physician Su!” Eunuch Fu stepped on it and helped the unconscious Emperor Jing Xuan sit up.

Princess Jingning asked, “What do you need me to do?”

If she kept her in her father’s bedroom, she must have a use for her.

Su Xiaoxiao took out a porcelain bottle from the small medicine box and looked at the soft bed opposite. “Just sit there.”

Princess Jingning queried, “Huh?”

Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, “It’s windy outside.” Princess Jing Ning was stunned.

In the capital in April, the night wind was cold.

Consort Xian and Princess Hui An came out in a hurry. Their clothes were thin, and they shivered in the cold wind.

The last time, she obtained a new bottle of Bezoar Detox Pill from the pharmacy. It was useful tonight.

Eunuch Fu asked softly, “Doctor Su, what you gave His Majesty—”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Oh, it’s an antidote pill. It can cure many poisons and also treat allergies. The Marquis of Zhenbei and his son have both consumed it.”

Hearing that Su Shuo and Su Yuan had taken it, Eunuch Fu felt much more at ease.

It was not that he doubted Physician Su’s medical skills. He was just freaked out by Hu Jiusheng and had lingering fears.

Eunuch Fu looked at the unconscious Emperor Jing Xuan and asked, “But… why hasn’t His Majesty woken up after taking the medicine?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Not so soon.”

The poison in Emperor Jing Xuan’s body was much fiercer than the slow poison in the Old Marquis’s body. He would not wake up for three to five days.

Just as well. She would him suffer a little.

“Once every morning and night, two pills at a time.” Su Xiaoxiao poured ten antidotes into a new small porcelain bottle and handed it to Eunuch Fu. “I’ll see the Empress Dowager tomorrow morning before coming over.”

Eunuch Fu took it with both hands. “Then tonight…”

Su Xiaoxiao closed the medicine box. “Just arrange for an imperial physician to be on night duty. It won’t be anything serious. If there’s anything, look for me at Pear Blossom Lane.”

The two of them left the hall.

Consort Xian immediately welcomed them. She looked at the two of them and rushed into the hall. She cried in a second. “Your Majesty! Your Majesty!”

Xiao Duye also walked forward and looked at Princess Jingning gently. “I was too worried about Father’s safety just now. Did I scare you? I apologize to you.

Don’t be angry with me.”

Princess Jingning frowned and said nothing.

Xiao Duye smiled and took off his cloak.. The palace maid had just sent the cloak over.

“It’s getting late. Big Brother will send you back to Kunning Palace.”

He put a cloak over Princess Jingning with a doting expression.

Suddenly, Su Xiaoxiao reached out, grabbed the cloak, and threw it coldly back into Xiao Duye’s arms!

“No need.”

With that, Su Xiaoxiao pulled Princess Jingning away without looking back..
