“Mother, Daughter was useless and couldn’t rescue Aunt Wen,” Qiao Mu said expressionlessly.
Thankfully, this child was perpetually expressionless. Otherwise, she probably could not feign a believable guilty expression even if she had to.
“Silly child.” The adults imagined the scene of the child “trying her best to chase after them but having to return helplessly” and all comforted her, “Silly girl, how old are you? It’s already good that you could protect yourself.”
“That’s right.” Father reflected, “Your safe return is all that matters.”
Second Uncle sighed and summarized, “The future can’t be predicted. Perhaps this is fate. Miss Wen is too unlucky and even said those unlucky words before leaving the house. She ended up…”
The child remained bereft of any expression on the surface but inwardly wanted to laugh. After Qiao Zhongbang and the others comforted her thoroughly and bade the crown prince farewell with a smile, they quickly sent the children to wash up and rest.
In her room, Qiao Mu sprawled inside the bathtub and played with the jeweled box filled with flower petals. She lightly harrumphed and pouted.
Then, she took out a few flower petals and scattered them on the water surface. She kicked her little feet in the water and raised her hand, a blue talisman silently floating in front of her eyes.
She took out the pot of flowers from her storage talisman and placed it on the circular stool next to the bathtub. A dainty pair of scissors appeared in her hand.
“Qiuqiu, are you asleep?” Qiao Mu brought the scissors close to the flower and cut off a flower bud. She cut open the petals and exposed the light green pistil inside.
There were 10-20 tiny green beads sitting on top of the tiny pistil. Each bead was delicate and round. Its soft shell did not permit forceful squeezing and could only be extracted gently.
Qiao Mu gently and quickly picked off all of the green beads one by one and placed them in a row on a flower petal.
“Can you tell me why I know this isn’t the Chinese crabapple flower and is instead a medicinal plant called green radish flower?”
Qiao Mu lightly prodded a few of the beads. “Each flower bud of the green radish flower will have 10-20 green radishes. The chilling effects of the poison pill created from them will be a thousand times stronger than the coldness poison pill that that daughter of some king’s estate gave me.”
Qiao Mu looked up with a faint smile on her face as she stared at the pot of green radish flower.
Besides the flower bud that she snipped off, there were three to four smaller buds on the plant. However, the large blooming flowers had already lost their medicinal value.
“Qiuqiu, did I really learn medicine from someone? Why don’t I… remember it?” Qiao Mu’s voice was low as her hand flicked the water in the tub. Her chest felt stuffy for some reason.
“Little Master, Qiuqiu only remembers that you’ve memorized countless medical and poison texts like the pharmacopeia, medical scriptures, the thousand poison holy scroll, and so on. Your master is especially fearsome. However, because you leaped across space and time and were rebirthed, a large portion of your power was sealed, leading to a partial loss of your memories.” If Qiuqiu could appear in front of Qiao Mu, it would wear a solemn expression.
“Little Master, after you were sealed, it’s actually Qiuqiu who was the most pitiful…” Why did the atmosphere suddenly change and the tone turn sobbing?
“Qiuqiu spent a really, really, really long time to accumulate that tiny bit of strength and uneasily grow out two leaves. Thankfully, after Little Master was sealed, those two foodies were also sealed in the main planet. Otherwise, my two leaves will have a precarious fate again!”
“I remember you mentioned that your leaves can not only increase people’s mystic energy, but normal people can also gain good health and a prolonged life after ingesting it?”
The sapling trembled in the dantian. It felt like something bad was about to happen…
