Allure of a Country Maiden

The sun in July is blazing, and the morning sun is already burning and painful on people's skin.

In some inn

Xiaoer sat in front of the mirror and put on makeup carefully.

Shangguan Xuanyi was lying on the couch reading a book. Occasionally he looked up at her and saw that she kept smearing things on her face. He felt a little uncomfortable. He didn't see that this girl had dressed up for herself. Now she was going to see the palace. That bastard Qinghua actually spent an hour wearing makeup!

Although he was going to take revenge, Shangguan Xuanyi couldn't help but feel jealous.

After another quarter of an hour, Xiaoer raised her head and looked at Yang Mei: "Yang Mei, how is my makeup going?"

"It's like! It's so like! It's so amazing that it's like being seriously ill." Yang Mei nodded.

Xiaoer smiled and looked at Shangguan Xuanyi: "Brother Shangguan, what do you think? Does he look like he is terminally ill?"

"No, it's too beautiful!" Shangguan Xuanyi denied directly.

What kind of terminal illness? Nonsense!

After hearing this, Yang Mei glanced at Xiaoer again: How beautiful is it? Her face is pale, the dark shadows under her eyes are as thick as ink that cannot be melted, her lips are chapped and white, and there are red rashes on the backs of her hands. What kind of aesthetic standard does this make you feel beautiful?

"Beautiful?" Xiaoer turned her face back to the mirror and took a closer look at the appearance in the mirror: "This is already the weakest look I have ever thought of. Isn't this ugly? Alas! There is nothing I can do about it. It's all my fault for being born with it. She is beautiful, with a 360-degree appearance, and she is still a sickly beauty even when she is sick." Xiaoer tilted her head slightly, looked at herself in the mirror, and joked.

Seeing Xiaoer's beautiful appearance, Yang Mei couldn't help but laugh: "Young lady is the most beautiful woman in the world!"

Woman? Is this a compliment? ! When Xiaoer heard this, she was a little discouraged. She glared at Yang Mei: "Miss Yang! Please omit the last two words from now on!"

Xiao'er gritted her teeth and called out the word "girl"! Damn, she is obviously sixteen! She looks like a little girl, looking at her youthful and invincible face, Yangmei, Yangmei, how can you say the word woman!

Yang Mei was startled: Omit the last two words? Woman?

She suddenly understood why she had omitted it and couldn't help but giggle.

Xiaoer glared at Shangguan Xuanyi, blaming this man for turning her into a woman! Xiaoer stood up for a moment: "Let's go, sister, I'm in a bad mood and I want to find someone to vent my anger on!"

Shangguan Xuanyi also felt that Xiaoer's childishness was so adorable. He couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, and stepped forward to take Xiaoer's hand: "My princess is, of course, the most beautiful woman in the world."

"Go to hell, woman!" Xiaoer pinched his palm hard.

Shangguan Xuanyi's smile became even bigger.

…

Shangguan Xuanyi supported Xiaoer and headed to the second prince's residence in Nangong Kingdom.

Yangliu and Yangmei followed behind and held umbrellas for the two of them.

Nangong Kingdom Emperor's Palace

Gong Qinghua was accompanying Emperor Nangong: "Father, the Crown Prince said that he had sent someone to the Crown Princess's natal home to ask for medicine. It has been so many days, why hasn't the medicine been sent back yet?"

Emperor Nangong said feebly: "It's a long journey, so it's normal to be delayed for a while."

"My son, I watched with eager eyes as my father endured such pain. My heart ached so much that I wished that the pills would arrive soon."

"I know you have filial piety." After Emperor Nangong said a few words, he felt a little tired and wanted to rest.

"Your Majesty, the Second Prince Minze, King Guorui, and Princess Rui said they heard that the Emperor was seriously injured, so they came to visit him specially and presented him with life-saving pills." At this time, a eunuch came in and reported.

Gong Qinghua was shocked when he heard that King Minze Guorui and Princess Rui were visiting.

Didn't these two people go to Zhang'er Island? Are you okay after so many days?

No, they have a pill that can cure all diseases, how could anything happen?

Consider them lucky and blessed!

After Emperor Nangong woke up, he was seriously injured because of his old age. The wounds were difficult to heal. His body was in excruciating pain, and he felt that he was even worse.

Now when he heard that Shangguan Xuanyi had sent him life-saving medicine, his eyes widened suddenly, as if he had been walking in the desert for a long time and an oasis suddenly appeared in front of him: "Quickly declare!"

Gong Qinghua frowned after hearing this: Would Shangguan Xuanyi be so kind? When something goes wrong, there must be a monster!

It wasn't until Shangguan Xuanyi and Xiao'er walked in. Xiao'er kept her head lowered and looked helpless that he understood something. Then his face changed drastically and he wanted to run out immediately.

After the two of them saluted, Shangguan Xuanyi said calmly: "I heard that the emperor was injured by an assassin. I came here specially to deliver healing pills to the emperor and to ask for a favor from the emperor."

As expected, there is no free lunch in the world. Emperor Nangong felt even more relieved when he heard that he had something to ask for.

If Shangguan Xuanyi had no other way to save him and volunteered the pills, he would have to worry about his motives behind doing so.

"Prince Rui is interested. I wonder what you want?" After all, he has been the emperor for half his life. After Shangguan Xuanyi and the others came in, he had already changed into an expression that showed no emotion or anger.

Xiaoer's body was a little weak and she couldn't help but lean slightly against Shangguan Xuanyi, as if she was about to collapse at any moment.

Shangguan Xuanyi quickly stretched out his hand to support her, preventing her from falling, and then said: "To be honest, I don't know what kind of emergency my princess has. She went to many doctors but couldn't cure it. Li Min here Zeguo is relatively far away, so we can only ask the emperor for help."

Emperor Nangong sighed in his heart, it’s finally time for you to ask for your help!

Emperor Nangong really wanted to put on airs, but his energy was limited, so now he was trying to cheer up.

At this time, Shangguan Xuanyi spoke again: "If the emperor can agree to help cure my princess's illness, I can provide a pill to the emperor."

"I can hire an imperial doctor for Princess Rui. As for whether the imperial doctor can cure Princess Rui's illness, it is not up to me. After all, I am not a doctor. I don't know medical skills and I am powerless!" After Emperor Nangong said this, Already a little short of breath.

"It's good to be able to ask the imperial doctor to prescribe the right medicine, but if the imperial doctor doesn't know what to do, then the emperor agrees to my request. I know that the emperor has something that can cure my princess's illness. Don't worry, this matter will not be let go. The Emperor is in such a difficult position! The Emperor can also get a healing pill and an antidote pill, and then he will no longer be hurt or tormented."

Emperor Nangong didn't speak for a while. He was weighing the authenticity of this matter.

Gong Qinghua spoke up: "What does Prince Rui want from my father?"

Shangguan Xuanyi glanced at him coldly, did not answer his question, and then turned his gaze back to Emperor Nangong: "The emperor will say it after he agrees. If he doesn't agree, it will be in vain if he says it, right? The emperor can think twice before acting!"

Shangguan Xuanyi's purpose was just to take Xiaoer around the palace. He didn't care whether there were pills or not.

But he believed that Emperor Nangong would agree.
