Before the house was raided, the maidservant of the Prime Minister's residence absconded with t

As agreed, Tao'er arrived at the street corner.

Qingfeng was already waiting there, with bags of meat and vegetables at his feet.

Upon seeing Tao'er, he immediately came to greet her.

"Peach Girl, you're back!"

Tao'er smiled and nodded, handing him a packet of medicinal herbs: "These are the medicines I bought for Young Master Chen."

Have you bought everything you need?

Qingfeng nodded quickly: "I've bought everything. As you instructed, I bought the best meat and vegetables."

The two walked back together.

On the way, Qingfeng hesitated several times before finally asking, "Miss Tao'er, about the antidote..."

Tao'er smiled slightly: "Didn't I already say that?"

We'll wait for the miracle doctor's prescription.

You don't need to worry about the medicinal herbs...

Qingfeng gritted his teeth, suddenly stopped, and solemnly bowed deeply to Tao'er: "Miss Tao'er, Qingfeng is putting his words here today."

Whether it's for the young master or for something else, as long as you can truly save my master, from this day forward, you, Miss Tao'er, will be my great-grandmother!

"I'd go through fire and water for you, and Qingfeng would do anything for you, no matter what!"

Tao'er was amused by his serious demeanor and quickly waved her hand, "No, no, no, I can't accept such a big gift."

Get up quickly, or people will laugh at you.

"And I'm only sixteen, I don't want to be some kind of great-grandmother. You can just call me Sister Tao'er or Tao'er, it's fine."

Qingfeng insisted on completing the grand ceremony before straightening up, his eyes gleaming with hope.

The two continued on their way, and Tao'er secretly pondered what she would say if she took out the thousand-year-old ginseng and the snow lotus from Tianshan Mountain!

After all, both of these things are extremely rare. Go back and think about them carefully.

At this moment, Qingfeng continued, "Miss Tao'er, I have already sent the message to Elder Li."

He should be here soon. I'll tell my master this good news when I get back; he'll definitely be very happy.

Now that his master's poison has been cured, he can finally be with Miss Tao'er.

He could tell that his master liked Miss Tao very much.

"You've sent the message out so quickly. How many days will it take Elder Li to arrive in Ping'an County?"

Tao'er didn't expect Qingfeng to act so quickly.

"It will arrive in three days at the latest, and in two days if it is fast."

The message should arrive tonight.

A gentle breeze returned.

"So fast?"

Tao thought it was comparable to a modern-day Shunzi air express delivery service.

"Miss Peach, you may not know this, but our master has an eagle called the Bluebird, which can travel a thousand miles a day."

Therefore, sending a message to Elder Li in the capital, seven miles away, would only take one day.

Qingfeng's words shocked Tao'er.

She only knew that carrier pigeons could deliver messages; she never imagined that eagles could do it too.

She said "Oh" and nodded, "So Brother Shi Qi has such a pet."

Isn't that just a pet in modern times?

Although Qingfeng didn't quite understand what a pet was, he didn't ask any more questions. After all, it wasn't surprising that Tao'er would occasionally use a strange word or two.

The two chatted all the way to their lodgings. Before entering, Tao'er told Qingfeng not to tell Xiao Yi about the antidote, but to wait until Elder Li arrived.

Qingfeng nodded, indicating that he would listen to her.

As they talked, the two pushed open the courtyard gate and went inside.

In the courtyard, Ayan was squatting on the ground, earnestly teasing a small beetle that had crawled out from who-knows-where with a twig.

Tao'er couldn't help but smile warmly; this was the kind of childhood a child should have.

Xiao Yi sat on a stone bench to the side, head down in deep thought, seemingly lost in thought.

But he would occasionally glance up at Ayan, a faint smile on his lips.

Tao'er then realized that the uncle and nephew actually looked quite alike; indeed, birds of a feather flock together.

Under the locust tree on the other side, Prince Chen, also known as the Crown Prince, was sitting quietly on a bamboo chair with a book open on his lap, occasionally turning a page.

The midday sun shone through the gaps in the locust tree leaves, casting dappled patterns on him, making his handsome face appear even more gentle and refined.

What a peaceful and serene scene.

A gentleman as handsome as jade, unparalleled in the world!

That's pretty much it!

Tao'er sighed inwardly, who would have thought that this quiet young man reading a book would be the Crown Prince?

"Brother Qingfeng! Sister Tao'er!" Ayan was the first to spot them, dropping his branch and running over, his eyes sparkling as he stared at the bags in Qingfeng's hands. "You bought so much delicious food?"

Qingfeng smiled and ruffled Ayan's hair: "Yes, I'll make you something delicious today."

And look what delicious treats your sister bought for you!

Then, as if by magic, he took out a string of bright and eye-catching candied hawthorns from his basket.

Candied hawthorn berries!

Sweet and sour candied hawthorn!

Thank you, Sister Tao'er.

Xiao Yi happily took the candied hawthorn from Tao'er's hand, then picked one and handed it to Tao'er, "Sister Tao'er, you have one first."

Tao'er didn't expect the child to do this, after all, she wasn't a child anymore.

"Okay, thank you, Ayan!"

Tao'er did not refuse; it was a child's wish, and she couldn't refuse it.

Hearing the sound, Xiao Yi came back to his senses. His gaze first fell on the tender Tao'er and A Yan, and then the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.

I thought to myself: How wonderful it would be if time could stand still at this moment!

Tao'er felt a burning gaze and looked up, her eyes meeting Xiao Yi's.

He nodded to Tao'er, then quickly turned his face away. When he turned his head, he saw Qingfeng with a beaming smile and a silly grin.

A hint of doubt flashed in Xiao Yi's eyes. How come this kid came back as if he had found silver after going out for a while, grinning from ear to ear?

"Miss Peach, did Qingfeng find gold or silver when he went out with you?"

Xiao Yi stood up and asked Tao'er.

Tao'er smiled and replied, "I don't know either, why don't you ask him?"

Xiao Yi walked towards Qingfeng.

Tao'er patted Ayan's head, squatted down, and talked to him.

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Young Master Chen under the locust tree raising his head and nodding slightly at her, a warm smile on his face.

Tao'er thought to herself, "The Crown Prince looks no different from a normal person. Could it be that he's faking amnesia in order to stay?"

She looked at him and found his gaze clear and calm, which did not seem like an act of amnesia.

I guess I was overthinking it.

However, she couldn't help but overthink and be cautious.

After all, the ancients were no less cunning than their contemporaries, and were even more ruthless, vicious, and terrifying!

They're quick to poison people and take their lives!

On the other side...

"Qingfeng, what good thing happened to you today?"

Xiao Yi asked in a low voice.

Qingfeng leaned closer to Xiao Yi and whispered, "Master, what good news could there be?"

Not to mention finding gold or silver; I've never had any luck.

Master, hehe!

I'll put the things in the kitchen first.

Qingfeng chuckled, turned around, and carried the things to the kitchen.

If Miss Tao said not to tell her master yet, then he couldn't tell him.

I almost couldn't resist telling my master just now.

Xiao Yi nodded, but his gaze lingered on Qingfeng's face for a moment.

This kid is definitely up to something.

I'll ask that kid again when I go to bed tonight.

Tao'er said a few words to Ayan, then walked to Achen's side and asked, "Young Master Chen, how are you feeling today?"

Are you feeling any more comfortable?

Does the wound still hurt?

After two or three days, the wound should not hurt so much anymore, right?

Ah Chen smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Ah Tao. The wound doesn't hurt much anymore, thanks to your care."

The medicine you prescribed is really helpful.

Ah Chen is truly grateful.

"That's good. I'll go and prepare your medicine later. You should also get some sunshine, as it will help with your recovery."

"But you can't wash your hair yet. The stitches were just removed, so you have to wait a couple of days before washing your hair. Just bear with it a little longer!"

Tao'er looked down and carefully examined the wound on his head.

"But I'm afraid I won't be able to wash my hair in a couple of days..."

Ah Chen said with some difficulty.

Tao'er was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Why can't I wash it?"

You can wash your hair two or three days after the stitches are removed.

"I can't move my hands too much too often, otherwise it will aggravate the wound on my chest and cause pain. If the wound reopens, it will delay treatment again."

Then I'll have to trouble the girl again...

Then I really feel bad...

Ah Chen explained in a low voice, but his face showed an embarrassed expression.

Tao'er instantly understood; so that's how it is.

"Young Master Chen, I hadn't considered that."

I'll wash your hair for you then!

That way you won't aggravate your wound.

Tao'er said casually, in her opinion, washing her hair was no big deal, it wasn't like she was sleeping with someone or anything.

Ah Chen happily replied, "Okay..."

Thank you, Atao!

"What's so good about it? What's so bad about it? Young Master Chen, don't you know that men and women shouldn't touch each other?"
