Qiao Jiaojiao spent the second Mid-Autumn Festival in her life on the road.
The moon in the wilderness looked particularly big. Jiaojiao missed her mother so much that she couldn't help but drop a few golden peas when she was writing a letter home. She asked Qiao Tianjing to write ten "I miss her so much" before she stopped.
At dusk on August 20th, the Yong Dynasty birthday celebration team finally arrived at the junction of Papi Ridge and Nanli State.
Qiao Zhongguo ordered them to rest and set out again tomorrow.
Qiao Tianjing was walking around holding Qiao Jiaojiao to relieve his boredom, when suddenly the sound of rapid horse hooves was heard in the distance.
Qiao Tianjing was immediately alert, and Qiao Jiaojiao also craned her neck to look. The person who came back was Qiao Jiu, who was acting as a scout during this trip!
"Sir! Princess Nanning is here to welcome you. She will be here in about half a quarter of an hour!"
Qiao Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment, but when she realized that Princess Nanning was Meng Guxue, her eyes suddenly lit up.
Qiao Tianjing hurriedly turned around and sent a message to Qiao Zhongguo.
Half a quarter of an hour later, the uniform sound of horse hooves came as expected. Meng Guxue, who was riding in the front, had long hair flying and showed a heroic appearance!
She saw Qiao Zhongguo from a distance, raised her hands happily and shouted: "Master Qiao!"
Qiao Zhongguo's eyebrows relaxed. He didn't expect to see Meng Guxue again. She could already gallop like this.
As he took a step forward, Meng Guxue had already jumped off his horse and hurried forward to meet him.
"Miss Meng, long time no see!"
"Master Qiao, long time no see!"
At this moment, Meng Guxue's eyes were slightly sour, and she felt a sense of joy and relaxation at finally seeing her loved ones.
Aja followed and saluted Qiao Zhongguo.
Qiao Zhongguo immediately called for everyone to dismount and rest. They were just about to prepare dinner, so they decided to eat together.
Meng Guxue was a little tired from running all the way. She was not a fussy person, so she sat on the floor directly with Qiao Zhongguo.
Qiao Jiaojiao took out the thin pastries specially prepared for her by Qiao Zhongguo on the road.
"Sister Meng, do you want to eat?"
Meng Guxue didn't expect that Qiao Zhongguo would even bring Qiao Jiaojiao, and she couldn't hide her shock.
Qiao Jiaojiao sat down next to Meng Guxue and looked at her curiously.
Meng Guxue was really different from what she remembered!
"Thank you, Miss Qiao."
Meng Guxue was indeed a little hungry. She smiled and thanked her, and took the cake from Qiao Jiaojiao.
At this time, as Meng Guxue approached, Qiao Jiaojiao suddenly smelled a strange smell from her body.
[Hey, Meng Guxue seems to smell something? 】
Qiao Jiaojiao sniffed sharply and suddenly felt dizzy.
[Oh my god, it stinks! Could it be that Meng Guxue was poisoned? 】
When Qiao Zhongguo and Qiao Tianjing heard this, their expressions changed at the same time.
They knew that Jiaojiao could smell poison. At the Wanshou Palace banquet, Jiaojiao smelled the cold poison that was given to Yaxian!
Could it be that Meng Guxue was also poisoned?
Thank God, this time when I came to Nanli Country, the Holy Spirit was worried that Jiaojiao would not be able to adapt due to her young age, so he specially asked Zou Qi, who was the most skilled in medicine, to come with him.
It seems that we need to find a reason to let Zou Qi come and show Meng Guxue!
Qiao Tianjing was about to think of a suitable reason, when Meng Guxue asked herself:
"Master Qiao, do you have an imperial doctor accompanying you this time?"
"It's like this. The lady of the country is still unconscious, and Baili Chengyou is already very anxious. I thought that since the palace doctor from Nanli Kingdom can't see well, maybe we can try our Yong Dynasty's imperial doctor!"
Qiao Jiaojiao's eyes lit up when she heard this.
[Oh my god, this is really a pillow just for being sleepy. I was just thinking about how to ask Dr. Zou to give Meng Guxue a look without being too abrupt! 】
Thinking of this, Qiao Jiaojiao quickly gave Qiao Tianjing a wink.
Qiao Tian understood it carefully and stood up with Qiao Jiaojiao in his arms.
Qiao Jiaojiao took the opportunity and said: "Brother, I seem to smell something wrong on Meng Guxue. Please ask Dr. Zou to come over and take Meng Guxue's pulse!"
Qiao Tianjing pretended to be shocked when he heard this, and immediately nodded, "Okay, I will listen to you, little sister."
When Doctor Zou was found, there was still resentment on his face.
Dr. Zou: (* ̄m ̄)
He just opened his mouth, and before he could pick up the food he was stuttering, he was called over!
Isn't he destined to be a cow and horse for the Qiao family in this life?
When Qiao Zhongguo saw Imperial Physician Zou, he immediately stepped forward and put his arm around his shoulders affectionately, smiling and saying:
"Ms. Meng, what a coincidence, the most skilled physician in our Great Yong Dynasty is here!"
Qiao Zhongguo was a good flatterer and praised Dr. Zou's medical skills to the highest standards. Dr. Zou instantly felt relieved after hearing this.
Dr. Zou: (。・//ε//・。)
"Also...it's not as exaggerated as Mr. Qiao said~"
Meng Guxue's eyes lit up when she heard this, and then Qiao Tianjing took advantage of the situation and said:
"Mr. Zou, Miss Meng came here after a long journey. Please help her take a look first."
Meng Guxue looked confused, "Huh? I don't need it. I'm just a little tired. I'm fine."
"It's also good to have a safe pulse." Qiao Tianjing said with a smile.
Meng Guxue thought for a while, but did not refuse. She directly stretched out her hand to Dr. Zou, "That's fine!"
It’s time for regular physical examinations!
Doctor Zou was a good person, and he immediately sensed that there was probably something fishy about Meng Guxue, so he looked a little more serious and put his hand on Meng Guxue's wrist.
Meng Guxue was originally very relaxed, but when she saw the increasingly serious look on Doctor Zou's face, her heart skipped a beat and she was a little frightened.
"Zou... Doctor Zou, what's wrong? Am I going to die soon?"
When Imperial Doctor Zou retracted his hand, he frowned and smoothed his beard.
"Ms. Meng's pulse is a little strange. Have you taken any medicine to boost your spirits recently?"
"Huh? Is there really a problem?"
Meng Guxue was frightened to death. She touched her whole body, but found nothing strange.
"Never, I never take medicine for no reason!"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Tianjing guessed that Meng Guxue might have been tricked unconsciously.
"Ms. Meng, Dr. Zou's medical skills are unmistakable. Think about it, is there anything strange around you recently?"
When Qiao Tianjing said this, Meng Guxue instantly remembered the meeting with the fourth princess before setting off.
If there was a possibility of being tricked recently, it would be that day!
But she was obviously very careful——
Meng Guxue calmly told what happened that day in detail.
Qiao Tianjing and Qiao Jiaojiao listened thoughtfully. The brother and sister looked at each other, and Qiao Tianjing nodded slowly.
He said: "Miss Meng, is there a possibility that the fourth princess has already guessed that you are wary, so she did the opposite?"
Meng Guxue opened her mouth slightly, and Qiao Tianjing said meaningfully:
"The two of you were in the pavilion that day. The only difference was that she took a bite of the pastry."
"I would venture to guess that maybe the antidote is exactly in that pastry. You were wary and refused to eat it, but you fell into the trap."
When Meng Guxue heard this, her heart suddenly went cold!
"It's over, am I going to die?"
Doctor Zou immediately shook his head, "Judging from the pulse, it doesn't look like a poison that harms the body. It should have other uses."
Meng Guxue was immediately excited when she heard this.
"In Nanli Country, it's either medicine or poison! Have I been poisoned? It's over! Am I going to become a puppet too!"
"Aja! Aja! I remember you know how to pull out poison? Come here and help!"
"That Baili Miaoxue who suffered a thousand cuts!!!"
