Chapter 46: Saving the Queen Mother, Yi Xi's Night Gathering

Xiao Jingtai and Ling Chenxi came to the Empress Dowager's palace, the Cining Palace. Ling Bai and the imperial doctors were checking. "Cousin, how is it?"

"It should be poisoning, but I don't have the silver needle, so I can't check what kind of poison it is." Ling Bai said. Did Xier bring the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Needle that she bought at the auction house last time? That one is a divine earth-level product.

"Cousin Lingbai, please help me. Cousin Tai, please ask the servants to prepare some light porridge and side dishes for my great-aunt to eat when she wakes up. The imperial physician, please go to the side and take a rest." Ling Chenxi said. Everyone retreated in unison.

Ling Chenxi used the Nine-Turn Mysterious Needle to prick the Queen Mother's blackened lips. It turned out that she was poisoned. "Cousin, bring me a glass of water." He said to Ling Bai while no one was paying attention. He took out a bottle of spiritual spring water from the space and poured a drop of water into the water. He fed it to the Queen Mother. Then he took out the Nine-Turn Mysterious Needle and a third-level detoxification pill. He inserted the Nine-Turn Mysterious Needle into the corresponding acupuncture point and fed the Queen Mother the detoxification pill. Then he pulled out the silver needle.

"Okay, the Queen Mother will wake up soon, you guys go and report to the Emperor and Empress!" Ling Chenxi said. Then he saw Xiao Jingtai walk into the Cining Palace and asked, "It's poisoning, oleander powder and a kind of magical herb (Zhihuancao). It makes people fall into a beautiful dream and refuse to wake up. I have used the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Needle to remove the poison."

"The Emperor, Empress, and Consort Shu have arrived," the eunuch announced, and everyone stood up and knelt in greeting.

"Get up, how is the Queen Mother, little girl Xi?" the Emperor asked.

"Your Majesty, my aunt was poisoned by a combination of Zhihuan grass juice and oleander powder. Fortunately, my cousin Ling Bai came to the palace in time and used the soul-protecting pill to protect the dantian and prevent the spread of the poison. Lingxi has already used the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Needle and the detoxification pill to help my great aunt detoxify. From now on, she will be cured in three days if she receives acupuncture once a day."

"Okay, Xi girl, you and your sister have done a good job. There is a reward." The emperor said happily.

"Your Majesty, the two children and the doctors have not had lunch yet, so let them leave first!" said the Queen.

"Everyone, go down. The Queen Mother is much better. Come, prepare food for Ling Xijun and Young Master Ling Bai. Xi'er, you guys go down and eat too!" Everyone excused themselves and went down. Ling Bai had lunch in the palace and then returned to the general's mansion.

Ling Chenxi finished lunch and returned to the Cining Palace to check on the Queen Mother. He told her that she would wake up in an hour, and asked someone to feed her some white porridge with vegetables, and also asked the imperial physician to prescribe some Qi-boosting and blood-tonifying soup for her to nourish her.

Finally, he left a third-level recovery pill and asked someone to feed it to the empress dowager when she woke up. After that, he reported to the emperor and returned to the general's mansion. The emperor asked Xiao Jingtai to send her home, and the two of them rode in a carriage on the way out of the palace.

When they got off the car at the entrance of the general's mansion, the people on the street saw the eldest prince sending Ling Chenxi home, and they all said that the two were a perfect match, a match made in heaven. Li Jinyi, who had come out of Jinyu Pavilion and was resting in the side room of Canglim Restaurant, had another misunderstanding. The palm of his hand that was injured before was bleeding again because of excessive force and the broken wine glass.

Xu Songming, who was standing by, couldn't bear to watch and said "you" while helping him treat his wound.

"You feel bad, but you won't go find the little girl to ask for clarification. You are alone here, hurting your heart and body. Really." Li Jinyi heard Xu Songming's words and sat motionless on the stool, letting Xu Songming bandage his left hand. He was thinking about going to find Ling Chenxi later.

Ling Chenxi returned to the general's mansion at dawn, reported the empress dowager's condition to General Ling and the generals guarding the country, and then went back to Xiheyuan to rest.

After having dinner with her family, Ling Chenxi returned to her yard and found that there was a barrier in her room. She immediately ran into the room. Li Jinyi had a cold face and stared at Ling Chenxi who entered the room. There was tenderness in his eyes, but also a trace of sadness.

"Li Jinyi, why are you climbing up my window so late at night again? Do you like being a thief so much?" Ling Chenxi closed the door and turned around and said happily and jokingly.

When Ling Chenxi was approaching the tea table, Li Jinhan suddenly hugged her tightly. Ling Chenxi struggled and said, "Li Jinyi, have you hugged me enough? I'm almost dying."

Li Jinyi let Ling Chenxi go. But he still didn't say a word. During the time when he was dealing with things in Qinglan Palace, whenever he had some free time, Ling Chenxi's appearance always appeared in his mind. Li Jinyi had to speed up the work day and night, which made the subordinates of Qinglan Palace miserable.

Xu Songming would also send him some news about Ling Chenxi from time to time, including that she was conferred the title of princess and was given a city; he even told him that the emperor wanted her to be his daughter-in-law but was rejected by the general because of her young age.

Moreover, Ling Chenxi and Xiao Jingtai's recent relationship, especially what happened today, made Li Jinyi feel scared and uneasy. He didn't know what would happen to him if Ling Chenxi chose someone else. But now he was very sad.

"I heard that you are going to participate in the ring competition the day after tomorrow, so I came to see you. How are your preparations going?" Li Jinyi was concerned that she would participate in the ring competition the day after tomorrow, so he said something irrelevant without asking anything.

"It's okay. There's nothing else to prepare. As for the herbs, I picked them in the Monster Forest and the Secret Realm. They're enough. As for the pills, I'll make some tomorrow and carry them with me. There's nothing else to prepare."

"These are for you. You can use them in emergencies. And this Hun Tian Bell bracelet is a lower-grade earth weapon of the heavenly rank. It can be filled with poison needles, and the sound of the bell can be used as a protective weapon to dazzle others. It can also be used as a storage space, and you may be able to use it." Li Jinyi said.

Ling Chenxi took the things he handed over and found that his left hand was injured and wrapped. He frowned and asked, "Why is your hand...injured?"

Li Jinyi looked at the wound on his palm and said "Yeah." Then he said nothing. "By the way, does that Protector Xu have any hobbies?"

Li Jinyi was stunned when he heard Ling Chenxi's question, and looked up at her in confusion.

"Nothing else, it's just that when I was training in the World of Warcraft Forest with the family players this time, Brother Xu helped and saved us. My father said he wanted to give him something to thank him, but I didn't know what to give him." Ling Chenxi explained.

"You don't have to give me anything. I asked him to protect you secretly. Besides, he's in his forties or fifties, so you don't have to call him brother. Do you like him very much?"

"Not bad. Protector Xu is easy-going and gentle to others. He is a good person to get along with." Ling Chenxi said with a smile. "What about me?" Li Jinyi asked without thinking, and then he clenched his injured fist and looked at Ling Chenxi nervously and expectantly.

Ling Chenxi was stunned for a moment, and when he opened his mouth to speak, Li Jinyi hugged him again and said in a deep voice, "Don't say that... please." He didn't want to hear her say those words and hear people outside say that he was cold-hearted and as cold as an iceberg; that would be too much for him to bear.

"Li Jinyi, what's wrong with you? Why do you hug people all the time without asking any questions?" Ling Chenxi broke free from his hug and said angrily with her head down.

"Hey, your wound is open. Let me re-bandage it for you!" Ling Chenxi exclaimed, then he went to the medicine box next to the tea table to find some medicine, sat down next to the tea table, and took out a bluish-white handkerchief embroidered with plum blossoms.

Ling Chenxi reached out and lifted up Li Jinyi's left hand, gently untied the blood-stained handkerchief, sprinkled some hemostatic and anti-inflammatory powder on his palm, and bandaged it again. He handed the powder to him and said, "I remixed this powder according to the ingredients of the gold wound medicine. I give it to you. Change it once a day, and it will be healed in two or three days." After that, he stood up and packed the medicine box.

"It's too late, little girl, have a good rest." After saying this shyly, she flashed out of the room and evacuated the barrier. She looked at the bandaged palm of her left hand on the roof next to her, and looked at Ling Chenxi's room for a long time before going back to the top floor of the auction house to rest.

The next morning after Li Jinyi returned to the auction house, he sent Xu Songming back to Qinglan Hall to deal with the unfinished business. The reason was that Ling Chenxi praised him, and Da Bingshan was unhappy. (Xu Songming only found out much later why he had so much unfinished work during that period, but that's a story for another time.)
