Ye Xiao looked at the bees and started to say something. But before she could finish, Jiang Peihuan said, âNo, these bees could be poisonous. If anyone gets stung on the face, they could get scars.â
When Jiang Peihuan said this, Xiao Nanye looked at Xue Qi and Deputy General Liu. He asked, âWho will go?â
Jiang Peihuan didnât say anything.
She was not scared, but she was a girl and didnât like insects like bees.
Looking at the dark swarm of bees, Xue Qi wished he had brought more people from his house.
Thinking for a moment, Xue Qi tentatively looked at Deputy General Liu, âShall I go?â
âOkay, be careful, young master Xue.â
Deputy General Liu agreed as soon as Xue Qi spoke.
Seeing him back off instantly, Xue Qi was surprised.
Since Xue Qi was her cousin, after thinking for a while, Jiang Peihuan took a handkerchief from her sleeve and handed it to him, âCousin Qi, cover your face with this.â
When Xue Qi took the handkerchief, Xiao Nanye and Jiang Peihuan moved back quickly.
Seeing this, Xue Qi was speechless.
âCousin Qi?â
Just as Xue Qi was about to go forward, Jiang Peihuan called out to him.
Xue Qi smiled. He was happy that his cousin cared about him.
Jiang Peihuan advised, âBe careful when you pull out the plant. Pull out the whole thing. And use your sleeve, not your hand.â
âOkey.â
Xue Qiâs smile disappeared quickly. He covered his face with the handkerchief and moved forward.
Xue Qi stepped on a branch and went ahead. The whole tree shook when he stepped on it. He held his breath when he saw the shaking beehive.
Carefully walking to the hundred grass root, Xue Qi bent over, covered the small grass with his sleeve, and pulled hard. The whole plant was pulled out.
Seeing that all the roots were still intact, Jiang Peihuan was overjoyed and quickly shouted, âCousin Qi, come back quickly.â
Hearing her, Xue Qi turned around quickly. But as he started to move, he heard a buzzing sound.
âCousin Qi, run!â
Seeing the beehive fall, Jiang Peihuan quickly shouted.
Xue Qi ran, but he couldnât run faster than the bees. He felt a lot of pain as the bees stung him.
All he could do was cover his face with his sleeve.
When he saw the bees fly out, Xiao Nanye quickly covered Jiang Peihuanâs face with his sleeve. He then pulled her close to him.
They walked a good distance before they no longer saw the bees.
Jiang Peihuan turned to look at Xue Qi and asked softly, âCousin Qi, are you okay?â
Hearing Jiang Peihuanâs words, Xue Qi put down his sleeve. Seeing his face, Jiang Peihuan couldnât help but laugh.
Xue Qiâs forehead had been stung several times even though he had covered his face.
Jiang Peihuan was smiling, and Xue Qi was upset. He said, âI got stung badly, and youâre still laughing.â
âWeâll ask Ye Xiao to get you some medicine when we get back. Apply it, and youâll be fine in a couple of days,â Jiang Peihuan stopped laughing and spoke softly in response to Xue Qiâs words.
XXue Qi, despite being upset, was happy they found the special herb they were looking for. He used a handkerchief to protect the hundred grass root in his hand, then looked at Jiang Peihuan and asked, âIs this good?â
âYes, itâs fine. Letâs go back,â she said, nodding as she saw the root was intact.
They took the main road on their way back.
However, when they reached the foot of the mountain, Jiang Peihuan noticed that the bumps on Xue Qiâs forehead had grown significantly larger.
His face had also turned slightly pale.
Jiang Peihuan quickly called out, âYe Xiao, please check on my cousin Qi.â
Upon hearing her, Ye Xiao quickly took Xue Qiâs wrist and after a careful examination, she turned to Jiang Peihuan, âMiss, these bees are poisonous. Young Master Qi was stung several times and thereâs some toxin accumulation in his body.â
âGive him this medicine.â As Jiang Peihuan was thinking about finding some herbal medicine for Xue Qi, Xiao Nanye handed her a porcelain bottle.
As soon as Jiang Peihuan received the porcelain bottle, she recognized the scent of the Coagulation Pill, which could neutralize any poison. However, this medicine was extremely rare.
Xue Qi, being a knowledgeable man, recognized the value of the pill in Jiang Peihuanâs hand. He quickly objected, âNo need, 1 was just stung by a few bees. Applying medicine later when we get home is fine. This medicine is too expensive, better ifâ¦â
âThese bees are wild and highly venomous. If we delay further, we donât know what harm it might cause your body.â
âEat this Coagulation Pill first.â
While speaking, Jiang Peihuan had already put the pill into Xue Qiâs mouth.
With the pill already in his mouth, he had no choice but to swallow it.
Soon after swallowing it, Xue Qi felt much better. He walked up to Xiao Nanye and respectfully thanked him, âThank you, Your Highness.â
Xiao Nanye didnât look at Xue Qi, but told Jiang Peihuan, âLetâs go back before it gets too hot.â
âOkay,â she agreed.
They all rode their horses back to the Xue House.
Just as Jiang Peihuan reached the courtyard gate, she saw the anxious Nanny Yun Gui.
Seeing Jiang Peihuan, she immediately said, âYoung Little Miss, youâre finally back. The old madam has been asking about you.â
âDonât worry, Nanny Yun. 1 just went to find some medicine for my grandmother. You go back to her first. Iâll change my clothes and then go see her.â
âTake your time, Young Little Miss. Have some rest.â
After Yun Gui left, Jiang Peihuan returned to her room and changed her clothes.
âGo tell His Highness that Iâll see him later.â
Thinking of Xiao Nanye, Jian Peihuan quietly instructed Deputy General Liu.
Seeing him nod, Jiang Peihuan then left with Ye Xiao to the old madamâs courtyard.
âHuan Er, why were you in such a rush? You left very early in the morning to get medicine for me.â
Old Madam Xue held Jiang Peihuanâs hand, her eyes full of concern.
Seeing the look in her grandmotherâs eyes, Jiang Peihuan gently held her hand, âGrandma, itâs okay.â
âGrandma, stop worrying about Huan Er. You should care about your grandson instead.â
At this point, Xue Qi also entered after changing his clothes.
As soon as he entered, the old madam saw the bumps on his head. Although she felt sorry for him, seeing Xue Qiâs state, she couldnât help but laugh, âWhat happened to you?â
Seeing the smile on the old madamâs face, Xue Qi looked sad, âGrandma, I was stung while picking medicine for you, and youâre still laughing at me.â
âDid you see a doctor after being stung like this?â
âGrandma, donât worry. Iâve already applied medicine, and iâll be fine in a couple of days.â
Seeing the concern in his grandmotherâs eyes, Xue Qi quickly assured her..
