Princess Xiangsi - Chapter 149
Everyone was shocked and was about to stop them, but seeing that the Imperial Concubine did not react, they gave up. If even the Imperial Concubine dared not stop them, how could they, as servants, dare to?
At this moment, Li Ge bit her finger, and a drop of bright red blood dripped into the clear water.
Both Shuangdie and Qingyun held their breath, staring intently at the two drops of blood in the clear water.
Slowly, slowly, the two drops of blood indeed merged together. In the crystal-clear water, a drop of blood the size of a bean floated; looking at it for a long time gave one a sense of being in another world.
Shuangdie trembled and took a few steps back, finally regaining her balance with the help of the palace maids.
After her initial shock, Qingyun had completely calmed down. She quietly looked at Li Ge, observing his expression.
A complex light flickered in Li Ge's brown eyes, but in the blink of an eye, the light dissipated, and Li Ge's face remained calm.
Upon seeing the fused blood droplets, everyone turned their attention to Li Ge, wondering: Just who is Li Ge?
Qingyun's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and her soft voice rang out: "Farewell Song..."
Li Ge turned around, her eyes flashing slightly, "I understand."
The brief exchange of glances between the two left those around them bewildered. At this moment, Li Ge dripped three more drops of blood into another bowl of water. After pondering for a moment, he wrote down a prescription, gave some instructions, and said, "Once His Majesty drinks the medicine, his poison will be cured. Please rest assured."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Volume 3: Truth and Falsehood, Palace Turmoil, Situ Xingzhi 1
After the Emperor drank the medicine prepared by Li Ge, he indeed woke up after about a day, and the poison was cured. However, the toxins had not been completely eliminated, and he would need to drink the medicine for another month.
The palace authorities discovered the cause of the Emperor's poisoning: Consort Ning, consumed by jealousy, had purchased a poison called "Three Blood Powder" from a wandering sorcerer to poison Princess Xiangxue. However, she mistakenly administered the wrong poison, harming the Emperor instead. Realizing the inadequacy of food safety in the palace, the Emperor immediately increased the number of people tasked with testing for poison, thus quelling the panic within the palace. Consort Ning, for attempting to poison the Emperor, was given poisoned wine and died.
Another event that caused a sensation throughout Fengxi was the Emperor's discovery of his long-lost younger brother, Situ Xingzhi, who was none other than the renowned physician Li Ge, praised by the people for his skill. Soon after, the Emperor bestowed upon Situ Xingzhi the title of Prince of Ande, granting him a mansion, ten thousand acres of land, and thousands of servants. The entire nation of Fengxi rejoiced.
Before they knew it, a month had passed. The plum blossoms in the palace's plum garden were still in full bloom, and the beauty of each plum tree was breathtaking. Gradually, it became fashionable in the palace to wear a plum blossom in one's hair.
Snow Palace.
Before the bronze mirror, a woman in green is doing Qingyun's hair and makeup.
The woman in green gently combed Qingyun's black hair with an ivory comb, brushing it back and forth. Her already smooth, black hair looked even more beautiful under her care.
Even Qingyi couldn't help but exclaim, "The princess's hair is indeed the most beautiful."
Qingyun turned her head, a strand of black hair sliding down her face. She reached out and gently stroked it, laughing, "You're always so glib."
Qingyi smiled, "Qingyi is serious. The princess's hair is really beautiful!"
Qianghui, standing nearby, quickly nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes! The princess's hair is so black and long, and countless concubines in the palace have asked Qianghui how the princess maintains it!"
Qingyun simply chuckled and did not reply.
After a long while, Qingyun looked up at the blue sky outside the window, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes.
Qingyi immediately smiled and said, "Princess, you must miss Young Master Lige! This month is the month of doing good deeds, so Young Master Lige won't be coming to the palace."
Qingyun's cheeks immediately flushed red. "I didn't think about him! Qingyi, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll betroth you to Guard Nalan."
Now it was Qingyi's turn to blush deeply. She stammered, "Princess...Princess, Qingyi...Oh dear! Qingyi won't say anymore."
Qingyi bit her lip and continued to tie Qingyun's hair up with a flushed face.
Qianghui laughed from the side, "So, Sister Qingyi likes Guard Nalan..."
"No way! Qianghui, don't talk nonsense." Qingyi's face turned even redder, so red it looked like it could be steamed.
The palace maids nearby all giggled.
Listening to their laughter, Qingyun looked out the window at the blue sky, her gaze drifting far, far away.
Suddenly, a bird flew across the sky without leaving a trace. Qingyun was startled and pulled back to reality.
She turned her head and was startled again when she saw herself in the bronze mirror, her brows furrowing.
She asked, "Qingyi, what hairstyle are you wearing?!"
Qingyi smiled and said, "A new hairstyle. I think the princess will like it." After saying that, Qingyi continued to do Qingyun's hair.
Qingyun stared into the bronze mirror and watched as Qingyi skillfully braided her hair into long, thin braids. Then, she used a jade hairpin to gather most of the braids, from which long, pear-blossom-shaped tassels dangled. A gentle breeze carried the faint fragrance of pear blossoms. Finally, Qingyi untied the remaining two tightly bound braids, which then loosened, forming wavy shapes like endless clouds in the sky, lazily cascading from her shoulders to her waist.
Volume 3: Truth and Falsehood in the Palace - Situ Xingzhi 2
The palace maids nearby all clicked their tongues in admiration.
At this moment, Qingyun appeared to be three parts light and graceful, three parts gorgeous and noble, three parts serene and otherworldly, and one part charming and alluring.
Qingyun's eyelashes fluttered lightly, her eyes sparkling like the purest snowmelt from the mountains.
Qingyi was filled with emotion. The princess of today was no longer simply Princess Fengxue, nor was she simply the Qingyun girl she knew. Gradually, the princess had perfectly blended the two into one. Every smile and gesture exuded elegance.
