Soon enough, an elderly man with a gray and white beard came in, a stern expression on his face, “Child, how dare you bring medicine into the palace without authorization? Show me what you’ve got, this is not a place for you to mess around.”

These XIAO family members are getting more and more unreasonable, actually letting such a small child diagnose His Highness. If she can cure His Highness, then they, this bunch of old folks, might as well lie in their coffins.

Yingbao wrinkled her brows and glared at Xiao Mo,”Xiao…Uncle, if I can’t use my own medicine, why did you bring me here? ”

Present at the scene, which person didn’t have far superior medical skills than she did? They probably have tried all the prescriptions already.

If they didn’t need her medicine, why would they make her, a small child, come here to join this chaos?

Xiao Mo was somewhat embarrassed by her questioning, so he said to Yao Yuanzheng, “Yao Yuanzheng, this woman was ordered by the emperor himself to treat His Highness. Her medicine will, of course… be thoroughly examined. If it’s not harmful, then give it a try on His Highness.”

Yao Yuanzheng’s face looked a little gloomy. He said coldly, “Do you think this is child’s play? What do you take us for?”

Did their medical skills not compare to those of a several-year-old child? Or has the Xiao family reached a point of desperation?

Well, well, they all would be implicated sooner or later. There wasn’t a significant difference between a moment sooner or later.

Yao Yuanzheng waved his hand, signaling another physician to come forward.

He pointed towards Yingbao, “Take the medicine in her hand to check if it’s poisonous.”

If it’s not poisonous, let her try it out. After all, they are like this already, everyone was just filling their days along with the Prince.

The physician nodded his head, took the porcelain bottle from Yingbao, poured some out into a plate, and tested it with a Silver Needle for poison.

After a while, the physician said, “Master, this substance is not poisonous.”

Yao Yuanzheng nodded in acknowledgement and instructed him to return the porcelain bottle to the girl.

Yingbao took the porcelain bottle and was about to feed the medicine to the young man on the bed, but he clenched his teeth tightly and it was impossible to feed him.

“I’ll do it.”

Xiao Mo came over, took the porcelain bottle from Yìngbao, and asked, “All of it? ”

Yingbao nodded her head, “Not even a single drop can be left.”

The medicine in the porcelain bottle was made from Five-Dingshi, ginseng slices, and mountain honey, it was both nourishing to the Qi and body. She did not know if it would help the Prince.

Xiao Mo sat on the bed, held the boy—who was as thin as a skeleton—against his chest, pinched his cheeks to force him to open his mouth, and directly poured the sweet medicine into his mouth.

Forced to swallow a mouthful, yet half of it ran down the side of his mouth and dripped down his neck and chest.

Yingbao wrinkled her brow, close to Xiao Mo she whispered, “Uncle Xiao, the cost of this medicine bottle is one hundred taels of silver.”

Xiao Mo ignored her and poured the remaining bit into the prince’s mouth.

After the medicine was administered and the Prince was settled, Xiao Mo got off the bed, called over two Palace Attendants to clean up the Prince, and then he left the inner hall.

The several Imperial Physicians who had been watching closely followed him out and kept asking, “What did Xiao Langjun feed the Prince?”

Xiao Mo pointed back at Yingbao, “You can ask her.” And then he hurried out of the palace.

“Hey! Where are you going?” Yingbao ran out of the crowd and ran after him, “Take me with you!”

Running to the entrance of the Grand Hall, she was stopped by a few eunuchs: “Without the imperial edict, no one is allowed to leave!”

Yingbao watched helplessly as Xiao Mo descended the steps, crossed the courtyard, and quickly disappeared behind the screen wall, stamping her feet in frustration.

Whether in her past life or this one, Xiao Mo was not a good person, leaving a child in the lion’s den while he slipped away. He was absolutely deplorable!

Displeased, she returned to the Grand Hall and seeing that all the chairs in the hall had been taken, she had no choice but to drag her medicine box to a corner of the Grand Hall and sit on the ground.

Pretending to rummage through the medicine box, she took out a melon, scored a loop around it, smashed it open with her fist, and she tore off a piece and started gnawing on it.

There was no other way, she was thirsty, hungry, tired, and hot. On top of that, she was mentally and physically exhausted, so she couldn’t care less about pretenses

Her actions quickly drew everyone’s attention.

Yingbao saw several people swallow reflexively, and then they turned their heads away, coughed lightly, pretending not to care.
