The Princess Of 100 Talents
Chapter #80

"Okay, your honor. We beg ourselves." Said Mr. Min.

The three headmen of the noble family paid their respects to prince Rong. Prince Rong just nodded looking at them.

After saluting, they then left prince Rong, inside the VIP room of one of the restaurants in the capital.

"Xiao Bo." Prince Rong.

"Hamba here, your highness."

"You keep an eye on the three men, lest they find out the drug store belonging to Empress An. And don't let them know the pavilion is also the face of Empress An."

"Okay, your honor."

Xiao Bo immediately left to do his duty, after paying his respects to prince Rong.

"I won't let you loose, eyes should be paid for with eyes. But you only pay with your feet, and that's a kindness." Prince Rong.

Prince Rong would probably never do such a thing to the three noble families, but the Xiao family had considered Empress An and her mother as their own family, so Prince Rong gave a slight warning to those who always used their family background to do outrageous things.

"Right now Lin'er must be in his shop, hopefully they don't find where my empress is."

Although empress An had learned of prince Rong's plans as well as that of lord Xiao against the three noble families, but the kind-hearted Empress An would definitely not have the heart to let others continue to be in pain from the poison they had been drinking.

Prince Rong then walked out of the restaurant, to return to the pavilion using his horse. He deliberately requested that the meeting be conducted some distance from the pavilion and drugstore owned by Empress An, because it was also for the good of An's game.

Arriving at the pavilion, Prince Rong entered and found that his empress was taking some medicinal ingredients that had dried up in front of the hall.

"Lin'er, aren't you at the drugstore?" Prince Rong said as he walked closer to Empress An.

"I just got back, thinking about making tea for mom."

"It's good that it's like that."

"Has something happened?"

Prince Rong was silent but still stared fixedly at his empress.

"Li. What the hell's been going on?" Said Empress An again.

"I'll tell you later, now you make tea for me."

Empress An looked at the prince questioningly. But he obeyed what Prince Rong had told him.

Seeing his empress again take back the medicinal ingredients that he would make a drink along with tea for mistress Xia, prince Rong looked at her with a smile.

"Do you want to try the tea I made?" Said empress An.

"Well, I'd be so happy to enjoy the tea you made."

Empress An nodded, then walked towards the pavilion kitchen.

Although she had currently become an empress, but prince Rong had never forbidden empress An to do the thing she wanted to do, as long as it was a good and harmless thing for her.

Prince Rong walked into the hall, and there was already Lady Xia.

"I heard Lin'er talking to someone, it turns out you're back." Lady Xia said to prince Rong.

"True mother, Lin'er said that he would make tea for both of us."

"Mother, you don't think too much. You always have to take care of your health."

"You're right, maybe it's because of the medicine that concubine Qian gave me that I didn't know about, while still in Lord Liu's residence."

"Right now Lin'er is always trying to find a cure for mom, and I'm sure she can do it."

Madam Xia nodded.

Empress An came with a waiter behind her, who helped bring a tray of two cups of tea as well as some cookies.

"Mom, Li. I've made tea for you, it's tea that can throw away any food or drink that contains toxins or other harmful ingredients that we've been drinking or eating." Said empress An.

"Is this made of the materials you just picked up?" Prince Rong.

"Right, Shilin root can be medicinal if we can cultivate it well. With Shilin root mixed with tea leaves and also a little clove, it will help our bodies become better after waking up."

"Is it just Shilin root and cloves? I feel like there's another smell."

Empress An smiled then nodded, "Right, I gave you a little bit of young ginger that I just got."

"I should have smelled a smell that I recognize, yet faint."

"Young Jahe will keep our bodies warm. And I put on that ginger because it doesn't taste so spicy and it doesn't sting so much."

"Lin'er, you're very good at making drugs." Madame Xia.

"Mother, Lin'er isn't just smart at making medicine. But he is also good at strategizing in battle, and has a power that is hard to say."

Madam Xia nodded, "Right now, those who once said if you were just a useless woman, must be feeling so embarrassed."

"Mother, a person will not be as long as he was in his former life. We can enjoy life today, because we have been trying to change the life that we should have lived for a long time."

"You're right, a mother who can't be like you. Being a strong woman and having real confidence."

Empress An stood up and walked over to mistress Xia.

"Mom, I never talk like that. Mom is the most powerful woman in the world, if you can't survive to this point, I probably won't be able to survive either." Said Empress An as she grabbed her mother's hand.

Madam Xia nodded then clasped the hand of empress An.

"Our lives have changed, I hope you will never remember our old lives again. Because maybe they don't remember us anymore."

"And it may be that they have been at the door of the reincarnation."

Madam Xia nodded, what Empress An said was correct. He should not still remember those lives that had passed.

"Alright, I have to finish the tea. After that, I need to rest. I'll give mom some more medicine tonight." Said empress An.

"Well, I understand."

True, the health condition of Lady Xia again decreased after a few days of the wedding of prince Rong and empress An was completed. And mistress Xia had covered it up from empress An, so that her daughter would not worry about her circumstances.

But after prince Rong and empress An came to the pavilion, her pale-looking face could not lie to him.

Therefore, without saying anything. Empress An always made tea with medicinal ingredients for her, and gave her mother another remedy.
