Chapter 109 Causing a Medical Accident

  Han Caiwei smiled faintly: "This 'flower' is beautiful and can be used as medicine, so I know a little about it. However, if you accidentally eat the flower of this horse hoof lotus, you will be poisoned. Look at it, it looks like a pure white Guanyin, but it's actually poisonous, isn't that hypocritical? So I don't like this 'flower', but just take a look at the excitement."

  "It's fortunate that my Korean sister-in-law is more knowledgeable, I didn't know that this 'flower' was poisonous when consumed. I just thought it looked good and liked its name 'Guanyin Lotus', so I had someone plant it. Tomorrow, I must instruct the people in the house not to mistakenly eat the 'flower'!"

  Han Chaiwei looked at Ji Zhaohui's appearance and didn't seem to be pretending, so she pursed her lips and said: "Is Xu Er here with you?"

  Two people walked into the inner room together, Ji Zhaohui pointed inside and smiled: "He's over there, Wen Shu! He said he was going to chat with me earlier, but later I took a nap, and he went to sit there and read."

  Han Caiwei looked in the direction she was pointing, and behind the bead curtain, the little pretty boy was indeed sitting there, flipping through the book in his hand page by page, occasionally furrowing his brow in deep thought, with a demeanor like that of an adult. Han Caiwei couldn't help but purse her lips and smile.

  "Korean sister, I really envy you. You have a son like Xu Er who is so sensible and intelligent, and everyone in the house likes him. Although my sister-in-law has always had little contact with me, when she saw this child, her eyes were also filled with joy!"

  Ji Zhaohui pulled her down to sit on the couch, as if it was a normal conversation. If it were before, Han Caiwei would have felt awkward, what could be said between the big wife and the little wife? But now, she still put herself outside of the 'role', and seeing the young man reading with great interest, she also sat down: "In the mansion, there is only one child like this, naturally people will like him."

  Ji Zhaohui can no longer have children, and now Wang Shi has also gone through this ordeal and cannot have children. In this mansion, only Pang Shi is likely to have children. Therefore, for Pang Shi, Han Caiwei and her son are the biggest threats. This Pang Shi likes to talk nonsense about young handsome men, but Han Caiwei doesn't believe a single word of it.

  Moreover, whether or not Pan Shi has children is up to Li Xiucai's thoughts alone, unless Li Xiucai never touches Pan Shi again.

  Ji Zhaohui saw Han Caimei slightly narrow her eyes, and a hint of coldness flowed out from the pupils, then smiled faintly: "This is 'Spring' Hua's newly brewed tea, try some!"

  Han Caiwei's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and she picked up the tea cup to take a slight sip. Ji Zhaoxi also had a faint sense of something, but couldn't quite put his finger on what it was - at first, the aroma made him feel comfortable, but after a while, he felt it was too rich and overpowering.

  "When Han Meimei was having surgery in the Light Cloud Pavilion, everyone in the mansion was waiting outside the courtyard. I also went to persuade Wang Ye to take shelter from the rain, but he refused. It seems that in Wang Ye's heart, Han Meimei is an extremely important person. He didn't even glance at Madame Wang, yet he stayed with you for a whole night."

  Han Caiwei was taken aback: "Isn't this something that nobody knows about?" Didn't Qiu Hua say that not even Ah Fu knew about it, and only a handful of people were aware of it?

  Looking at Han Caiwei's stunned expression, Ji Zhaohui smiled and said: "Silly sister, do you think the prince's affairs can be hidden from anyone? Every woman in the mansion is watching the prince's every move with eager eyes. Even if they are not allowed to speak or discuss it, who doesn't know that he is the master? Who wouldn't want to curry favor with him? These days, he has been staying at your place, do you know how many things he has secretly helped you avoid? If I didn't tell you, you might never have known! In this mansion, someone remembers even the prince's sneezes, but you let him stand in the rain for so long for you!

  "So, should I be grateful? Should I apologize to everyone?" Ji Zhaoxi's words sounded awkward, as if she was the one who had made Li Xiuchun do this, as if she had committed a great sin!

  Ji Zhaohui was indeed well-cultivated, and after hearing her words, which were like a barrage of cannonballs, he didn't show the slightest bit of anger. His eyes remained warm and calm, with a hint of a smile: "I didn't mean it that way, I just don't understand why the prince is treating you like this. When the prince wanted to move to another courtyard, I asked him why, and he just smiled and said you were worth it. Now that I've seen your behavior today, I think you really are worth it - everything you've done for the Wang family, your heart, your medical skills... they're all truly worthy of the prince's treatment!"

  Han Caiwei let out a soft sigh: "You've exaggerated what I said, I just did what I should have done as a doctor, I didn't think much of it, nor was I trying to curry favor or anything, it's just the way of a medical practitioner, she's also a life after all." The more important reason she didn't say out loud was that by saving Wang Shi, she would be able to live alone in a separate courtyard, and what a wonderful day it would be without Li Xiuzhen!

  "No," Ji Zhaoxi's eyes shone with a mixture of admiration and sadness, "I don't know what you've been through these six years, but you're completely different from the person I first met. Everyone in the Wang household knows about your situation, if it weren't for you, she would have died! You should know that this illness is incurable, my mother had the same symptoms when she was pregnant with a child, and later on, the child couldn't be born, and she died from a difficult labor, just like what you told Wang. If only there was someone like you back then, my mother wouldn't have ended up like that! Han sister, do you know how many lives you can save by doing this?"

  Han Caiwei blinked, what's going on? Do you want me to perform surgery for all the women with ectopic pregnancies in the world? You really think you're Guanyin Bodhisattva, saving all sentient beings? But out of politeness, Han Caiwei didn't curse, she just smiled politely: "Your Highness, you don't understand medicine, so please don't speak nonsense. This is not something that can be done casually, if a medical accident occurs, my life will be in danger!"

  Ji Zhaohui was about to speak when a little maid came in, bowed and said: "I inform the princess that an official has arrived at the palace, saying that the emperor summoned Madame Han, and Madame Han must enter the palace immediately to meet with the emperor."

  Everyone was stunned, Xiaomei's ears perked up, and he quickly put down his book and ran over to ask: "Grandpa Emperor, why do you want to see my mother?"

  The little maid pouted: "I'm not very clear either, I heard that eunuch say that it seems that the emperor summoned General Ji today to discuss military affairs. General Ji somehow spoke disrespectfully to the third prince, and after the emperor asked them individually, he said he wanted to see Madame Han."

  Ji Zhaohui felt a chill in her heart. Han Caiwei looked at her with a bitter face, thinking to herself: You stupid pig father has sold me out!
