Chapter 198 The War King Receives a Letter
Although Empress Dowager Xie spoke lightly, she was majestic without being angry.
Asking Empress Dowager Xie's grandson to beg on his knees would have been unbearable for any other lady. However, Su Jixue calmly inserted the last needle and then replied slowly, "Yes, if the prince begs on his knees, Ji Xue can consider saving him."
Su Jixue looked at Queen Mother Xie quietly: "But if we really want to completely save the prince, I'm afraid the Queen Mother will need to give us another medicine."
"What medicine do you want to give me?" asked Empress Dowager Xie.
"Eldar blood."
The three words "Su Jixue" immediately attracted Aunt Jin Ning's attention.
But Su Jixue still looked calm. She met Aunt Jin Ning's gaze and smiled slightly, as if she didn't feel at all how incredible her request was.
"Miss Su, do you know how rare the spiritual medicine called spirit blood is?" Aunt Jin Ning's face showed displeasure, which was a deliberate attitude. She was speaking for Queen Mother Xie.
"I know." Su Jixue still looked calm. She certainly knew how rare her own blood was.
Especially since Empress Dowager Xie failed in refining the medicine, there must be an even greater shortage.
But Su Jixue did it on purpose. She mentioned this on purpose at this time and challenged Empress Dowager Xie's tolerance limit.
"But Ji Xue knows the importance of Master Lu better. In fact, Su Mingyue knows all the prescriptions, but she doesn't know that the most crucial ingredient requires the blood of the spirit race." Su Jixue said lightly, and sure enough, she saw that Empress Dowager Xie's eyelids moved again.
Su Jixue knew that the master in his memory had helped Su Jixue improve his physique, making him immune to all poisons, but only the blood of the spirit race could break Ji Xue's poison.
Su Jixue had Ji Xue's blood. Su Jixue was born prematurely and it was not easy for her to survive. Ji Xue fed her with her blood for a full forty-nine days, and only let Su Jian take her away after she was one month old.
If it weren't for Ji Xue, Su Jixue would not have survived.
After all, this is the person Zong Kui wants to kill.
Looking back now, Ji Xue's thought at that time unexpectedly left her with such a big turning point.
Su Jixue was able to save Lu Jing, so there must be Ji Xueling's blood in her heart blood.
So Su Jixue was not lying. If she wanted to save Lu Jing, she had to use the blood of the spirit race. When Empress Dowager Xie tried her, Su Jixue also tried Empress Dowager Xie.
Empress Dowager Xie did not possess the power of the spirit race, but her blood should still be that of the spirit race.
Therefore, even without Ji Xue's blood, Queen Mother Xie's own blood would still be effective.
I just don't know what she will choose.
"Miss Su, please stop joking. How can you have the blood of the elves?!" Aunt Jin Ning looked at Su Jixue in disbelief.
Only then did Su Jixue look directly at Aunt Jinning, the first servant of Empress Dowager Xie.
Although she is called an aunt, she is actually closer to a nanny, probably between forty and fifty years old. However, because she is not married and takes good care of herself, she looks only about thirty years old.
Aunt Jinning also followed the empress dowager into the palace.
So it is very likely that Aunt Jin Ning knows the identity of Empress Dowager Xie.
"Of course it was left by the master." Su Jixue said innocently. Anyway, since the one-handed ghost doctor has already taken the blame, then let him continue to take it.
"But it has all been used up to save the prince."
So, Empress Dowager Xie, please make your own judgment.
"Notify Lianhua and let her let Lu Jing handle it." Empress Dowager Xie finally spoke slowly, but did not open her eyes.
"Then your Majesty, please have a good rest. Ji Xue can come back when it's time to stop the acupuncture." Su Ji Xue had already helped the Empress Dowager Xie with the acupuncture and said goodbye.
"Then take her to the side hall to rest first." Empress Dowager Xie gave the order lightly, apparently she was also tired.
Aunt Jin Ning glanced at Empress Dowager Xie, and instead of looking for the little palace maid, she took Su Jixue to the side hall and asked someone to bring Su Jixue's little maid as well.
"Miss Su, sometimes you shouldn't be too stubborn, as it's easy to suffer losses." Before leaving, Aunt Jin Ning seemed unable to hold back and spoke.
"Aunt Xie Jinning gave me advice, but in Ji Xue's opinion, being gentle and tolerant might lead to greater disadvantages." Su Jixue replied with a smile, neither soft nor hard.
"Jin Ning has overstepped her authority." Aunt Jin Ning was slightly startled by Su Jixue's expression. She thought that no matter how capable a girl of this age was, she would be timid when facing the senior palace maid beside the empress dowager.
But unexpectedly, Su Jixue's expression was no different from before. Even when she was saying those rebuttal words, she was calm, instead of suddenly getting angry.
It seemed like Su Jixue had been in a high position for a long time, which was why she could respond to her words so casually and with attitude.
He is indeed worthy of being the one favored by the King of War.
"Aunt Jinning, you're too kind." Su Jixue said lightly without caring.
Aunt Jin Ning bowed slightly and stepped back. At this moment, she seemed to see the shadow of Empress Dowager Xie in Su Jixue.
Soon, Chunya was brought in from outside. The palace maids in the Empress Dowager's palace retreated, and only Su Jixue and Chunya were left in the side hall.
Su Jixue looked up at Chunya, and Chunya shook her head.
This is the imperial palace. Although Chunya found an excuse to walk around outside the palace, she did not have the chance to go to the cold palace.
Su Jixue stood by the window, looking at the direction of the cold palace, the light in her eyes changing. Now should be a critical period for Zong Kui, because the poison must have taken effect.
If you wait another day, you will surely die.
No matter what decision Zong Kui makes, now is definitely a critical decision-making period.
Moreover, Su Jixue had a bad premonition. Dongsu was guarding the periphery, which meant that he was here to cover the rear, which meant that the other three Sus had most likely already entered the capital.
If I'm not mistaken, they should have met already.
Zong Kui would definitely not do nothing. After confirming that the disease cannot be cured, he would definitely react.
It would be best to find him before then.

"Master, the eldest lady has entered the palace."
King Zhan had already received the news that Su Jixue had entered the palace. When Bai Shiwu heard this, he looked up at King Zhan.
"Yeah." The War King nodded without any expression on his face.
Seeing that the War King did not respond or give any orders, the person who brought the news retreated quietly.
Bai Shiwu's eyes flickered, and he asked casually, "Why don't you send someone to take care of it?"
Entering the palace at this time is actually not a good choice.
Especially in the Empress Dowager's palace, not everyone can go there, but it also represents extraordinary danger.
"She has her own intentions." The War King said lightly, his handsome face was as cold as ice, and he seemed not to care about Su Jixue's situation.
"I hope that the master can say the same thing when the Queen Mother really wants to keep Miss Su." Bai Shiwu did not expect that the master's marriage had been decided when he came back. He still needed to wait and see about the future hostess, which would affect the entire Zhan Wang Mansion.
"If she stays, it must be because she wants to." The War King still lowered his eyes to look at the memorial in his hand and nodded on it: "This one is available."
