ked. After all, she was still a teenager, curious about many things."I'm scared," Qian Tingxuan said as he leaned closer to her.Xiao Yu sang him a withering look: "You, wearing a mask like that, even...“I wonder what kind of medicinal ingredient the Grand Tutor needs My Xiangfu [residence] also has many treasures from heaven and earth. Please enlighten me, Grand Tutor.” Xiao Zhan thought to himself, he thought that his Xiangfu, although not as grand as the imperial treasury, held the most treasures in the entire capital city besides the palace. Anything he needed could be found here.

The national master shook his head: “It’s not about any heavenly materials or earthly treasures, but rather... the blood from a person’s heart!”

"Blood from the heart!" Xiao Zhan was shocked. This was unheard of, but this blood from the heart, it could be fatal.

"Take mine! I'll save my mother!" Xiao Yufu rushed forward at that moment, without a word, she picked up the small knife beside her.

"My Lady, please calm yourself!" The Imperial Advisor naturally stopped her immediately: "This is not something that anyone's blood can do. Madam is of the Yin attribute, so this heart blood must come from a woman born on an Yin year, Yin month, Yin day, and Yin hour. Only then can it cure Madam."

Isn't this the legendary woman in black

"I was born in an unlucky year and month." Xiao Yufu chimed in from the side, "I can offer my heart's blood to my mother!"

The Grand Astrologer shook his head in denial: “But the County Princess wasn't born on a day of Yin, it requires an Yin year, an Yin month, and an Yin day, all three!”

"What shall we do then If I lack this vital courage, my mother..."

This, Xiao Zhan seemed to have thought of something: "Fu'er was born in a yin year and yin month, and Ge'er is too. It's just that I don't know if she was born on an yin day..." When Lan Yi picked up Ge'er back then, she didn't know when she was born either.

The national teacher, however, looked confident: "This is simple, just try it and you'll know."

"How about it"

The blood of ordinary people is crimson, while the blood of yin women is clear and transparent. Just one drop is enough to determine if she is a yin woman!

Xiao Zhan hesitated: "Master, taking heart blood will surely harm one's life."

The Grand Tutor shook his head. "Minister, rest assured, this blood on the heart only requires some medicine. Although it will harm the body, there is no danger to life. With a few days of recuperation, he will be as good as new..."

Chu Tianqi beside him seemed to have thought of something, he furrowed his brows: "Grandmaster Guo Shi, using heart blood to make a medicinal primer, I've never heard of it..."

Before he could finish his words, the Imperial Advisor let out a cold snort, his face clouded with displeasure. "Lord of the Tribunal, are you questioning this Imperial Advisor"

"Your Majesty, the Grandmaster has misunderstood. The official merely thinks that using heart blood to treat illness is too absurd!"

"In that case, this national teacher has nothing more to say. The method has already been stated. Whether you try it or not is of no concern to this national teacher!" With that said, the national teacher flicked his sleeves and prepared to leave.

"Master Guoshi!" Xiao Yufu saw that Master Guoshi was leaving and hurriedly chased after him: "Master Guoshi, my brother is also worried about our mother, so he spoke rudely. Please, Master Guoshi, be magnanimous and don't mind. Please save my mother!"

"My Lady, the state master has made himself clear. To save your wife, we must use the blood of a yin maiden's heart as a medicinal catalyst. With this heart blood, the state master can guarantee your wife will regain consciousness within half an hour."

"Father!" Xiao Yufu began her performance again, kneeling before Xiao Zhan and weeping with tears streaming down her face. "Father, Mother is like this now. Can you really bear to watch her suffer like this Just letting Ge'er try wouldn't necessarily mean she is a Yin female. What if something happens to Mother Ge'er knows that she could have saved Mother but failed to do so in time, she would surely regret it for the rest of her life. Daughter only hates herself for not being a Yin female and unable to save Mother. Otherwise, daughter would never hesitate!"

The Grand Tutor coldly looked at Xiao Yufu, thinking in his heart: "This seemingly brainless girl actually has some brains at critical moments. Right now, he said expressionlessly, “Prime Minister, you should discuss this among yourselves first. This old tutor is going back! But hurry up, if it's too late, even this old tutor won't have a solution.” Saying that, he turned and left.

Xiao Zhan was also very hesitant now. Although the National Teacher said that taking someone's heart blood wouldn't harm their life, he still couldn't bring himself to do it to Ge'er.

“I’m going to find Gē'er!” Xiāo Yǔfú got up and was about to run outside.

"Fu'er, come back!" Xiao Zhan called out to her.

"Dad!"

Xiao Zhan remained silent for a moment, pursed his lips, and seemed to have made up his mind: "I'll go!"

"Father!" Chu Tianqi on the side panicked. If his father came forward, Ge'er would be impossible to refuse. Last time, he could shield Ge'er from his mother, but this time, if his father went, how would Ge'er cope

"You guard your mother here, I'll go find Ge'er!" Xiao Zhan walked out with a serious face.

Xiao Yufu gazed at her father's departing figure, a trace of triumph flashing in her eyes. With her father taking action, Xiao Yuge would have to agree even if she didn't want to. As long as she got hold of Xiao Yuge's heartblood, she could exchange their fates. At that time, she would be the true woman of good fortune, able to rule over the world like a mother should.

Although Chu Tianqi sensed that Xiao Yufu was acting strangely, he dismissed the thought. He figured she had nothing to do with the Grand Tutor; they couldn't possibly know each other. He didn't dwell on it further, only hoping in his heart that Ge'er wasn't some ominous woman born under a bad sign, so he wouldn't have to sacrifice her blood from his heart.

At this time, Xiao Yuge at Ruyi Fang was learning embroidery with Feng Yanniang. However, for some reason, while embroidering, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her chest. She lost her focus and pricked her finger with the needle.

"Ouch!" she instinctively retracted her finger.

"Master, are you alright" Feng Yan Niang hurriedly put down the embroidery she was working on and rushed over.

"It's nothing, just a little prick," Xiao Yuge put her finger in her mouth, somewhat absentmindedly. What was the matter She always felt a bit uneasy lately, could something be about to happen

She immediately thought of her mother, could something have happened to her No, that couldn't be right. Her senior brother had gone to check and said there was nothing wrong. It just so happened that her senior brother had something urgent to attend to and left, saying he would tell her when he got back. Only then did she feel at ease and return to Ruyifang.

"Master, from now on, just let things come as they may." Although Xiao Yu Ge was the original poster, Feng Yan Niang more often treated her like her own sister and cared for her.

“I just wanted to embroider a pouch...” Xiao Yuge looked at the rather messy embroidery work, and couldn’t help but frown and sigh: “But this thing is harder than practicing.” It was all her fault that when she was young, she always slacked off. Besides being interested in medical books, she had no interest in anything else, even the most basic embroidery skills for women.

"My subordinate understands that you want to embroider a pouch for the prince, but if you want one, why bother doing it yourself Our embroidery shop has all kinds of styles. Just pick one." Feng Yanniang immediately understood: "Oh, my subordinate understands. The madam wants to embroider it personally for the prince."

Xiao Yuge's face flushed slightly: "Who wants to embroider for him I just thought the one on his body was a bit old, and seeing how he saved me countless times, I felt bad for him. I gave him one out of kindness, but since it wasn't good, that's fine. It looks like this ghost-like thing, I guess he wouldn't like it." Looking at the embroidery in her hands, she really couldn't bear to show it to anyone.as been spreading rumors that I'm entering the palace lately, so I haven't had time to accompany my younger sister, which led to her being bewitched. Please forgive my younger sister this time!"Her wo...
