Five Poisons

  Is someone harming her?

  Lying leisurely on the noble chair, gazing up at the roof in the morning and evening, when there is no one to rely on, I can only rely on my own strength to move forward, until the last bit of strength is exhausted...

  That's the meaning of life, and it's the philosophy that her grandfather passed on to her.

  "Princess Chiyang——"

  "The Princess has arrived, and I'm feeling a bit dizzy, so would you mind if the imperial physicians took a look?"

  The princess thought she would have to spend a lot of effort, but unexpectedly it was so easy to let the imperial physician get close to Chen Xi. With just one glance, the physicians took turns taking Chen Xi's pulse...

  About half a time had passed, and the five imperial physicians all furrowed their brows, seemingly very vexed. Chen Xiuzi looked at them with a smile, "What's wrong? Is it that my body is already so poor that it's difficult for everyone to say anything?"

  The Empress Dowager was also anxious and urged the imperial physicians: "You few speak up, what's wrong with the Princess?"

  The five imperial physicians all knelt down, "Reporting to Princess Chang and Princess Chi-Yang, just now the five of us took turns taking Princess Chi-Yang's pulse five times, and discovered that there are at least five kinds of toxins in her body, and she has been poisoned for a long time..."

  "What!" The Empress Dowager was first startled, then furious, "Are you sure?"

  "Going back to what Chang Gongzhu said, the five of us have taken turns discussing it five times and determined that there are indeed five types of toxins intertwined in Chi Yang Gongzhu's body. Fortunately, they counteract each other and the medicinal properties haven't penetrated deeply into her lungs, so as long as we find an antidote, she can still be cured."

  The Grand Princess hastily came to Chen Xi's side, holding her hand and shedding tears, saying: "Princess Chiyang, don't worry, we will definitely find an antidote for you! Someone, come quickly and investigate, who is so ruthless and poisonous, daring to poison Princess Chiyang with leopard gall!"

  "Yes"

  "Wait, Princess Chang, thank you, I'll handle this myself."

  "But you already—"

  "Empress Dowager, I'm not dead yet!" Murmured Chen Xi in a low voice.

  Xia Tianya was taken aback for a moment, then let out a sigh. "Alright, I won't interfere anymore. However, finding the antidote is something that I must help with, or else I'll be worried sick. Also, you have to let the imperial physicians examine you regularly. This matter must also be reported to the emperor, as you are an honored guest of our Xia Kingdom and any harm to you would be a stain on our reputation."

  "The Princess is indeed kind-hearted and generous, I accept. However, for other matters, I hope the Princess will let me take charge myself!"

  "Of course, as long as you take good care of your body, we will follow whatever conditions you set. You are a noble person from both Xia Guo and Ya Nu Guo."

  The Grand Princess left with the imperial physicians, and the atmosphere in the Red Sun Princess's residence immediately became gloomy. The maids were all afraid of being blamed by the princess for even a slight mistake.

  Morning and evening return to their own yard, lying under a big tree, without leaving anyone behind.

  Five poisons? Cut it out, those imperial physicians really have some standards!

  She lay down for a while and then got up to walk to the edge of the pool, stretching her hand into the water. Different colored blood threads slowly floated up in the water and merged into it.

  The color of the sky remains the same, she can no longer return to her past life.

  The princess who holds the military power is poisoned, and this will soon spread out, followed by a series of movements, then can she successfully escape?

  Living on a mountain peak, amidst deep crevices and dense fragrance. Not without footprints beneath the floating clouds, coming without knowing and leaving without staying.

  Human world's April fragrance is gone, mountain temple peach blossoms are just blooming. Often I lament that spring returns without a place to find it, unknowingly it has entered this place.

  She smiled faintly, brushing off the grass clippings from her body. She casually tidied up her hair, tied it back and placed it on her chest, then pushed open the door and walked out.

  "Princess, where do you want to go?"

  As soon as he walked out of the hospital gate, two guards followed him. Chen Xi glanced at them and said, "Let's go for a stroll."

  The two guards nodded, "Is the young master going by sedan chair?"

  "No, walking."

  Walking, this is the first time, two guards looked surprised, "Princess,"

  "Just take a walk."

  Walking to the gate and seeing several well-dressed bodyguards following behind, Chen Xi couldn't help but smile wryly. Can I still go shopping like this? "You guys, stop following me."

  "Princess!"

  "If you're worried, then secretly follow along!"

  In the morning and evening, she walked on the main street. In order to cover up her fiery red hair, she wore a white dress with a bamboo hat. Although it was somewhat eye-catching, some knights on the rivers and lakes were also dressed in this way, so such attire was more low-key than her fiery long hair.

  It wasn't long before Chen Xi discovered a problem - she didn't know the way. For the first time, walking on this unfamiliar street, she felt bewildered. Drifting with the crowd, she arrived at the bustling main street. The commercial street here was like a modern market, where everyone set up stalls to sell things. Those shops with storefronts were relatively large-scale.

  After strolling for a while, Chen Xi saw a shell stall, on which were sold some beach shells strung into chains. She walked over and picked up a large conch shell, putting it to her ear to listen quietly to the sound of the sea breeze... The whooshing wind sound, she liked this.

  Sitting on the beach, quietly listening to the sea breeze, is a kind of enjoyment.

  She habitually reached for her waist, only to remember that she wasn't living in modern times and didn't have a bag. She seemed to have put the silver coins in her sleeve pocket. She took out one or two silver coins and handed them to the vendor, who looked at her with difficulty. "Miss, this thing is only worth ten cents, I..."

  "Then I'll have a few more wind chimes and this one too. That should be about one or two silver coins!"

  "Hey, miss, you don't need that much!" The stall owner looked like a very honest man.

  Smiling slightly, "Boss, show me your most valuable goods here!"

  The middle-aged man scratched his head and took out a jade bottle. "This is probably the most valuable one, but it's probably not worth more than one or two silver coins."

  "It doesn't matter, give it to me!" Chen Xi picked it up and suddenly saw the vendor's hook on a wooden stake with a mesh bag package, "Boss, I like this one, how much is it?"

  "Hey, this is a bag woven by my wife using fishing net lines for me to carry..."

  "I like it, can you sell it to me? Go back and have your wife make a new one for you."

  "Alright then, if you like it, girl, take it!"

  In the morning and evening, he would put his purchases into a net bag and slung it over his waist, looking very unique.

  The middle-aged man watched Chen Xi walk away, muttering to himself that she was a weird person. Such simple things, why did she like them so much?
