The carriage soon stopped at the entrance of a dical shop.
Speaking of treating toothaches, the Imperial Physician in the palace is quite skilled.
However, they are mindful of the Princess’s noble body so they dare not prescribe strong dicine.
They only use mild dicinal herbs according to the symptoms.
Though it will surely work, it’s just slower.
But Bai Zhi’er is delicate, and her little cheeks are red and swollen every day, making everyone feel pity.
Thus, her good brother and uncles from both families began to inquire around.
The Fourth Heir heard that Huichun Pharmacy in the city has a treasure called "Xi Pills".
It’s said that if held in the mouth, it can not only quench thirst but also quickly reduce swelling and pain.
So, the Fourth Heir planned to take his sister to the dical shop today and buy the Xi Pills.
But unexpectedly, he had so matters today, so he asked the Fifth Heir to take his sister to the dical shop instead. If paynt is required, the doctor should retrieve it from the nearby bank.
After all, that bank also belongs to the Fourth Heir.
Before getting off the carriage, the Fifth Heir thoughtfully took out a prepared veil for Bai Zhi’er to wear.
The little one blinked her round black eyes, looking at him curiously.
The Fifth Heir explained with a smile, "Sister, you always care about your image. To avoid everyone seeing your red cheeks, I’ll cover you up."
Bai Zhi’er’s soft voice ca from beneath the veil, "Fifth Brother, very good, hiss."
The Fifth Heir held his sister’s pudgy little hand and walked towards the pharmacy, with guards leading the way.
"Is the shopkeeper here?" The guard asked.
A few patients in the shop saw the scene and instinctively stood back.
Several attendants turned to look, puzzlent in their eyes.
After entering, the Fifth Heir politely said, "We are here to buy dicine at a high price. Let the shopkeeper co and discuss with us."
An attendant stepped forward, "Sorry sir, the shopkeeper is in the back discussing matters with soone, please wait a mont."
As he finished speaking, footsteps approached from afar at the courtyard door, accompanied by jovial laughter—
"Thanks to Cousin Ke for introducing acquainted people, I managed to buy this ’Xi Pills’. When I present it to my godfather, if he rewards with anything, I will surely share with you."
A girl’s voice said.
Soon, a familiar voice replied, "No need for thanks between family, cousin."
Bai Zhi’er blinked.
Sun Sun is here too?
The curtain at the courtyard door swayed, revealing a man and a woman, with the shopkeeper behind them looking worried.
Bai Zhi’er saw that the round-faced man with thick eyebrows and large eyes, looking reliable, was none other than Ke Shouwang.
The girl beside him, around eight or nine years old, was dressed in luxurious silk, holding a square brocade box.
Bai Zhi’er had an extraordinary aura, and the Fifth Heir was quite handso.
Even with a veil, Ke Shouwang imdiately recognized her.
"Princess?" Ke Shouwang was surprised.
The girl beside him subtly furrowed her brows but quickly composed her expression, casting a scrutinizing glance at Bai Zhi’er.
Ke Shouwang quickly walked to Bai Zhi’er.
The little one was suffering from a toothache and could only blink her spirited, watery eyes at him.
The Fifth Heir explained on her behalf, "My sister is uncomfortable due to a toothache and cannot speak to you."
Ke Shouwang was stunned, "Why does the Princess also have a toothache?"
The Fifth Heir inquired, "Who else?"
"Prince Qing," Ke Shouwang replied, smiling. "This must be the connection between uncle and niece."
