Born to be a star? The abstinent prince dotes on her

Chapter 424: Medicine and stone have no cure

The others all looked at Si Qi, wanting to hear her opinion.

Si Qi thought for a moment, then said, "You said, isn't Zi Yan her favorite daughter? She has been missing for so many years, and her life or death is unknown. Now that she is finally back, she looks so calm. There is no emotion at all."

"I didn't see how surprised and happy she was. Isn't that too abnormal?"

After she said this, they couldn't deny that it was true.

Before Shen Yindi could speak, Mu Ningyuan, who was sitting next to her, had already solved her doubts.

"Qi'er, don't forget, she is the ruler of a country. She must be much calmer than ordinary people! Naturally, she won't show unnecessary emotions on her face. Otherwise, it will be too easy for people to see through her."

Si Qi nodded: "Brother Mu is right. After all, we were all outsiders at the time. If the reaction is too obvious, it may damage her image."

"Lord Mu's analysis makes sense. She is the king and must have her own dignity."

"We don't know her now, and we haven't spent any time with her, so it may be too early to judge what kind of person she is."

"Anyway, Zi Yan is here, so we don't have to worry."

Si Qi suddenly thought of another question: "Adi, if Zi Yan regains her memory, will she forget us?"

"No." Shen Yindi couldn't help but laugh.

Her daughter Qi'er has a really rich imagination.

"Then I feel relieved." Si Qi picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

Very fragrant jasmine tea. It seems that there are a lot of flowers in this place.

"I don't know when Zi Yan can be cured."

Fortunately, it is noon now, so the timing is quite friendly.

"If she doesn't come, let's take a rest first. We are all tired after the journey anyway." Shen Yin said lightly.

Then her attention returned to her prince.

In fact, she knew that his condition had not been very good in the past two days.

As the effect of the medicine he took was almost over, the poison in his body was already stirring.

If it breaks out again this time, there will be no cure.

She has tried everything.

At first, they said he could survive for two months, but now, at most, he only had fifteen days left. They arrived five days early, otherwise the time would have been even more urgent.

As time approaches, it is normal for her prince's condition to fluctuate.

It's just that she's under more pressure.

I haven't had the chance to ask about Xuelian yet.

"Prince, are you okay? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Shen Yindi held his hand and asked with concern.

His hands are very cold now, without any temperature.

His complexion has been looking worse these past two days.

Everyone was actually very worried, but no one said it out loud, and they only asked Adi quietly.

They sat in this side hall, and no one came.

Si Qi had no patience and had already gone to the door to ask Zi Yan when she could come over.

But the maids said they didn't know. All they could do was wait.

Shen Yindi was not a patient person, but because this was Zi Yan's home and she needed help, she could only wait patiently.

I waited until it was completely dark outside, but I didn't see anyone coming back.

"Adi, how long do we have to wait? I hope Zi Yan is okay?" Si Qi's patience had long run out.

After a while, the door finally opened.

But it’s still not Zi Yan.

Instead, Du Juan brought people to carry in a square table, and then palace maids were seen carrying in dishes.

Si Qi couldn't help it, and came to Zijuan, pulled her sleeve and asked: "Sister Dujuan, is Zi Yan still not well? Is she okay?"

Du Juan was also cool and said in a businesslike tone: "Dear guest, the princess is not well yet. Her Majesty the Queen said that the guests should have dinner first and then go to the bedroom to rest."

"When will it be better?"

"I'm sorry, my dear guest, I don't know this either."

"Qi'er, let's eat first. Let's take a break tonight and go to bed early. We are all tired."

"We believe in Zi Yan." Shen Yindi also came over and whispered comfortingly.

She guessed that the treatment with the Lethe Water was not that simple.

After all, she herself had absolutely no other options.

She could wait two more days. This was the last of her patience.

Si Qi pursed her lips and said, okay, since Adi said so, she wouldn't ask anything.

Looking at her brother again, he didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.

Doesn’t he worry about Zi Yan at all?

What on earth is this person thinking?

She would ask him in person when she was free tonight.

If Zi Yan gets better and wants to stay in Yingxue Country, then her brother will be alone again.

I feel anxious for him just thinking about it.

Oh, I can’t guess!

Mu Ningyuan seemed to guess what his Qi'er was thinking. He squeezed her hand and whispered to comfort her: "Qi'er, don't think too much. Miss Zi Yan will definitely come back. Let's eat first."

"Okay." Si Qi had no other choice.

She couldn't just run to find Zi Yan, right? She didn't know where she was.

Soon, the maids brought the dishes to the table. It was full. There seemed to be more than a dozen dishes.

"Dear guests, please enjoy your meal!" Du Juan said, and then went out with the palace maid.

As usual, Shen Yindi tested the poison one by one and was very patient.

Just because they believed in Zi Yan didn't mean they believed in the other people here. Anyway, it was always better to be careful.

"No problem, let's eat."

"This soup is very good and nourishing. Everyone should drink a bowl. Especially Pavilion Master Si Yin, my prince, Lord Mu, and Sister Yun. You should drink one more bowl." Although Shen Yindi can't cook, she knows these ingredients very well.

"it is good."

The Queen of Sakura Snow Country indeed treated them as distinguished guests.

So many delicious dishes, all made with top-quality ingredients.

Their country is not big to begin with, and giving away so many things is enough to express their sincerity.

"Hmm, it's really delicious. There are a lot of delicious mushrooms. There are also some matsutake mushrooms..." There are some others that Si Qi couldn't even name.

Most of them are wild game that they can't usually eat.

Chu Yan did drink two bowls of soup, and the taste was just as Adi said, delicious.

But he didn't have a good appetite now. However, under Shen Yindi's insistence, he still ate a bowl of rice.

How can you have the strength to fight the poison if you don’t eat enough?

We were all very tired from the journey these days. We slept outdoors most of the time and it was not often that we could have a good meal like this.

They all lost weight visibly.

Si Qi was halfway through his meal when he said with some regret, "What a shame there's no good wine to go with such delicious food!"

Shen Yindi couldn't help but laugh: "Wait until Zi Yan gets better tomorrow, do you want to drink any wine?"

"Well, then I hope Zi Yan gets better soon!"

After eating and resting for a while, Dujuan came over and took them to where they slept.

It is a palace next to this side hall. They all live in the same courtyard.

There were eight rooms for ten people.

Before leaving, Du Juan solemnly warned: "After nightfall, please do not wander around. Otherwise, if something unexpected happens, I will be powerless to help!"

Si Qi immediately asked curiously: "Sister Du Juan, is there any danger outside at night?"

"Or are there wild beasts and monsters appearing?"
