It was just past dawn. The sky was dark blue, seemingly bright but not.

The Saintess was already up.

She had just given Cheng Qingxue acupuncture to remove the remaining poison in her body when she heard a report that His Majesty had summoned her.

Recently, the King of the Southern Wilderness had summoned her a little too frequently.

The Saintess pondered for a moment and got into the carriage.

This time, she did not bring Emissary Lu along. Instead, she left her behind to take care of Cheng Qingxue.

She thought that it was the King of the Southern Border’s own business this time, but after she went, she realized that something had happened to the Third Prince.

The Third Prince’s situation was very bad.

Half of his head was burning, so there was no choice but to shave his entire head.

As a prince of a country, he had become bald. For a long time, he was too ashamed to go out and meet people.

However, this was just a small matter. The key was… he was a little injured.

The imperial physicians were helpless.

Yin Xiaodie and Cheng Qingyao were both Saintesses, but Yin Xiaodie was too young and it was inconvenient, so the King of the Southern Wilderness only summoned Cheng Qingyao.

The Holy Maiden heard the Third Prince’s terrified cry from afar. A few imperial physicians could not hold him down. The Holy Maiden entered the house and pressed the Third Prince’s sleeping acupoint.

The Third Prince fell asleep.

The imperial physicians wiped the cold sweat off their foreheads in embarrassment.

The King of the Southern Wilderness waved them away.

“Take a look at Hui’er,” the King of the Southern Wilderness said.

The Saintess lifted the blanket and unbuttoned the Third Prince’s clothes.

There were many scrapes on his body, but they were not serious.

There were many bruises on his thigh, as if he had been hit hard by something. There were even bruises close to his crotch. If it were any closer, he would become impotent.

The Third Prince’s injuries were not as simple as they seemed. Otherwise, he would not have called her into the palace early in the morning.

The King of the Southern Wilderness hesitated and said, “Hui’er… was frightened.”

Wei Xu was saving someone that night. He knew his limits and definitely did not go all the way with the Third Prince.

However, the Third Prince could not help but be afraid. When he saw an expert constantly stomping on his pants, he was so frightened that he became sick.

This was the most difficult to treat because there was no correct medicine. The King of the Southern Wilderness only had this one legitimate son. He was naturally resistant to the thought that his legitimate son would not be able to be a normal man.

The Saintess closed the Third Prince’s clothes and covered him with the blanket. “Let me give you a prescription.”

The King of the Southern Wilderness looked at her with a deep gaze. “Do you know who set fire to the palace that night?”

The Saintess said, “I don’t know.”

The King of the Southern Wilderness threw a portrait on the bedside table in front of her.

The King of the Southern Wilderness said, “Someone saw an unfamiliar commander outside the six tribes. The guards and palace servants thought that he was newly transferred.”

The Saintess picked it up and unfolded the portrait.

On it was a man in armor. The armor was a little ill-fitting and was clearly too small.

His gaze was sharp and his aura was strong. His face was covered in black dust, but his figure and distinct edges and corners could be recognized at a glance by people who were familiar with him.

The Saintess’ expression changed slightly.

The King of the Southern Wilderness looked at her and said, “Is Wei Xu really a puppet? His actions really don’t look like a puppet.”

Puppets did not have their own consciousness and would only listen to their master.

If Wei Xu was not a puppet, then the Saintess had been lying to the King of the Southern Wilderness for the past few years.

If Wei Xu was a puppet, the Saintess would be extremely suspicious as his only master.

First, he kidnapped the princess of the Great Zhou, then burned the palace and the the Third Prince. Everything was disadvantageous to the King of the Southern Wilderness.

The King of the Southern Wilderness’ sharp gaze landed on the Saintess’ beautiful face.

The Saintess looked straight ahead and said frankly, “I didn’t know about this.”

The King of the Southern Wilderness snorted. “I remember that there has never been a mistake with the puppets you refined.”

The Saintess defended herself,”Wei Xu is an exception. His will is too strong, and the medicine has limited effect on him.”

The King of the Southern Wilderness said calmly, “You said previously that he won’t be able to withstand it for long after leaving the medicine. He will definitely come back to look for you. ”

At the mention of this, the Saintess was also puzzled.

Logically speaking, no matter how strong Wei Xu’s will was, it was impossible for him to suddenly quit after taking medicine for five years.

What exactly blocked Wei Xu’s drug reaction?

Had he withstood it himself?

But what about his sanity?

Wei Xu’s current situation confused her.

She wanted to say that she was innocent but that would make her look incompetent.

If she said that she knew everything like the back of her hand, it would seem that she had ulterior motives.

In short, she was between the devil and the deep blue sea.

The Saintess clenched her fists.

The King of the Southern Wilderness said, “I’ll give you one last chance. Ten days is the limit. If you don’t hand over Wei Xu, you’ll immediately hand over to the new Saintess. You won’t have to continue being an elder. Leave the Holy

Maiden Temple!”

The Holv Maiden TemDle was her greatest reliance and source of Dower.

If she left the Holy Maiden Temple, she would lose her most important capital.

Thinking from the perspective of the King of the Southern Wilderness, the Saintess would also think that she was very suspicious.

This was the most frustrating.

She and the Imperial City of the Southern Wilderness had clearly suffered a loss, but they could not even touch Wei Xu.

What was going on?

After returning to the Holy Mountain, Emissary Lu brought a bowl of clear porridge to the Saintess. “You didn’t eat anything in the morning. At least fill your stomach.”

The Saintess waved her hand. “I can’t eat.”

Emissary Lu asked, “Did His Majesty make things difficult for you again?” The Saintess said nothing.

The King of the Southern Wilderness only gave her ten days. If she could not hand over Wei Xu after ten days, she would be kicked to the curb when she had outlived her usefulness.

She thought of the man in the abandoned mine.

She looked at Emisary Lu. “How’s your father recently?”

Emissary Lu said, “He was injured a while ago. He should be fine now. Does the Saintess have any instructions?”

The Saintess said, “It’s been a while since you visited your grandfather, right?”

Emissary Lu’s biological grandfather was not in the capital. The grandfather the Saintess was referring to was Steward Xue of the mine.

Steward Xue’s eldest daughter had lost her husband and her father had lost his wife. The Saintess matched them so her father could marry Steward Xue’s eldest daughter.

She called Miss Xue mother, so she naturally had to call Steward Xue grandfather.

She replied, “Yes, I haven’t seen him for three months since his last birthday.”

The Saintess instructed her solemnly, “Go to the mine to see your father and visit your grandfather. At the same time, secretly investigate something for me.”

Su Xiaoxiao still had to change the dressing of Su Xuan and Su Li today.

Just as she was about to leave, Yin Xiaodie came over.

She was here for the King of the Southern Wilderness’ illness.

It could be seen that she had indeed done her best.

“I checked His Majesty’s medical case and asked about His Majesty’s condition recently. It’s said that His Majesty had improved a few days ago after taking a new medicinal wine developed by the Saintess. I found Consort Yin and asked her to help me get some.”

This small bottle was not easy to come by. It was because the Empress Dowager could not bear to drink it that she left it in the icehouse.

Consort Yin had to rack her brains to beg.

The two of them sat on a stone stool in the front courtyard.

Su Xiaoxiao opened the medicine bottle.

There was the smell of medicinal wine, but not much.

“Do you want to try it?” Yin Xiaodie asked.

Su Xiaoxiao was pregnant and couldn’t drink. “There’s no need. I can smell it.”

There was ginseng, angelica, deer antler…

The more she sniffed, the stranger it became.

Su Xiaoxiao brought a cup and poured the medicinal wine in.

That bright color had a hint of yellow…

Why was it a little strange?

Yuchi Xiu came over.

“What are you guys doing?” he asked.

Su Xiaoxiao said, “We’re studying medicinal wine. It smells of alcohol, but it doesn’t look like wine. It seems to be mixed with something…” “Isn’t that simple? Let me try!”

Yuchi Xiu brought the teacup over and drank it in one gulp.

He was stunned.

Coincidentally, at this moment, Xiaohu came out to water the vegetable field.

He valiantly peed.

Yuchi Xiu looked at Xiaohu’s urine and then at the teacup that he had drunk.. His mind exploded!
