Su Qingluo used her spiritual energy to drive the venom to the baby’s finger and pierced his fingertip with a silver needle to squeeze out three drops of poison while he was dazed from sleep.

Awakened by the slight stinging pain at his fingertip, the baby was on the verge of crying. Su Qingluo quickly noticed it and stuffed a piece of dried sweet potato into the tiny mouth that was about to make a loud noise.

The baby chewed the dried sweet potato, still not forgetting to raise the fingertip that was pierced while complaining angrily.

Su Qingluo rubbed his tiny hands, laughing and scratching his dimples, tickling him to get him to giggle. Instantly, he forgot the pain in his fingertips.

The two pink children laughed and joked when Su Hu came in. His words were simple, directly indicating his intention.

Hearing that the woman woke up, Su Qingluo was very happy. She immediately decided to carry the baby to see her.

The baby was wearing his sister’s tiny clothes, a pair of pink flower cloth underwear that exposed his white and tender little arms and legs. His hair was combed into two small hairpins, precisely the same as the child in the Spring Festival pictures.

Su Qingluo held him and went to the doctor’s office with Su Hu. The woman opened her eyes slowly. Then, seeing her little highness unharmed and healthier than before, she smiled gratefully.

She took out a dark brown token from her bosom and gave it to Su Hu, asking him to take it to the county office with a message ordering the magistrate of Mingshui to see her immediately.

Su Hu carried the token and left the medical center trembling, not daring to delay for a moment. He immediately drove the carriage to the magistrate’s office.

The officials in the county court saw the token in his hand and were so scared that their legs went weak, and they rushed to the back room in a flash.

Hearing the news, the county magistrate’s expression changed abruptly. He did not even steady his hat when running to the lobby in panic. Seeing that the visitor was only a farmer, he was raging and about to scold him. Su Hu reacted quickly and immediately stated his intention by relaying the woman’s message.

The county magistrate took the token, and the corner of his mouth twitched. Then, not daring to be fierce again, he guiltily went out of the county court and took a carriage to the medical center.

The person intercepted in his territory of jurisdiction was of high status and power.

The magistrate was sure that his official career had ended. Suppose the person insisted on looking into responsibility. His life could also be in danger.

The county magistrate entered the medical center with both hands holding the token. No one knew what the woman said to him.

When he came out, his face was as pale as death. His footsteps were weak, and he even tripped over the threshold, almost falling on his face when stepping out of the door of the medical center.

The woman refused Su Hu and his wife’s request to take her home to recuperate, only entrusting her little highness to their care and continuing to live in the medical center to recover herself.

The picturesque Mingshui County was getting more dangerous with the woman’s awakening. Strangers gradually went there one after another, bringing new crises to the small county.

Outsiders did not know what the woman said to the county magistrate, but the little kingfisher did.

It elegantly stood on the house’s eaves and heard their conversation without missing a word while combing its feathers, then perfectly relayed it to its little master.

“Master, that woman’s real identity is the female official of the Imperial Court Division. The Imperial Court Division directly reports to the Empress. Senior female officials can supervise all officials and even have the right to kill first and report later.

“That woman led a team passing through Mingshui County and encountered assassination. It is still related to the poisoned little prince.

“The Empress had consulted many famous doctors for the young prince, but the treatment was unsuccessful. So she was very anxious. Three days ago, the Empress asked an immortal to tell the fortune of the young prince, who said that the young prince was destined to follow the flow of the Wei River and go downstream to find his destined benefactor.

“Downstream of the Wei River and to the southeast lies Medicine Valley. The Empress believed the immortal’s words and sent someone to escort the young prince to Medicine Valley for treatment, but the news was leaked, and he was intercepted halfway.”
