Chapter 215 Concubine's Self-cultivation 6
Nan Xi spoke softly to Zhao Moxuan, and the mother and son enjoyed a rare intimate moment. Xiaoying curled up at Zhao Moxuan's feet, occasionally looking up at Zhao Moxuan with her deep blue eyes, which were a little kind.
Zhao Moxuan boasted, "Auntie, Xiaoying caught a butterfly today, that's amazing!"
Nan Xi smiled gently and stroked Zhao Moxuan's hair gently: "Really? Xiaoying is such a capable little guy."
The two talked for a while, and Zhao Moxuan felt a little lazy. It was time for a nap.
"Xuan'er, Auntie wants to rest for a while. You can also play with Xiaoying for a while, and then take a nap, okay?"
Zhao Moxuan nodded, jumped off the bed, and gently picked up the white cat.
"Okay, auntie, I'll take Xiaoying to play in the yard."
Nan Xi watched Zhao Moxuan and Xiaoying leave the room. Fortunately, Xiaoying was with Zhao Moxuan during this time, so Nan Xi could rest assured during the confinement period.
Although she has the loyalty talisman, Nan Xi still trusts Xiaoying more.
Yun Jin walked into the room lightly, "Aunt, the old lady specially asked Aunt Li to bring some tonic medicine."
Not long after, Nanny Li came in holding an exquisite porcelain bowl. Her steps were steady and there was a kind smile on her face.
"Aunt Nan, this is the best tonic selected by the old lady herself. It will be of great benefit to your recovery."
Nan Xi took the porcelain bowl and looked at the dark brown liquid inside, which exuded a faint herbal fragrance.
Nan Xi leaned against the head of the bed and nodded slightly to express her gratitude: "Thank you for your concern, Madam. Thank you for your hard work, Madam Li."
Nanny Li stood aside and looked at Nan Xi with concern: "Auntie Nan, you have to drink this medicine while it's hot, so it will be more effective."
Nan Xi nodded, pretended to drink medicine, and poured the liquid medicine into the space.
Nan Xi put the empty porcelain bowl back on the table and wiped her mouth, "Madame Li, I have already drunk the medicine and I feel much warmer."
Nanny Li looked at the empty bowl and nodded with satisfaction, "That's good, Aunt Nan, you should rest more. If you need anything, feel free to let me know."
Nan Xi smiled as she saw Li Ma off, then sighed softly.
It’s not easy for everyone, this medicine cannot be wasted.
At night, Xiaoying entered the Ankang Hospital and gently crushed the pills extracted by Nanxi. The whole dormitory was filled with the medicinal power, which was all inhaled into the old lady's stomach.
The little shadow came and went without a trace, and no one noticed it.
The next day, the old lady fell ill. When she fell ill, Nanny Li forgot to send medicine to Nan Xi and went to take care of the old lady.

Liu Qixia was sitting in the flower hall of Hibiscus Courtyard, holding a freshly picked hibiscus flower in her hand. The petals were gently spinning on her fingertips. Her brows were furrowed, as if she was filled with infinite sorrow.
Liu Qixia appeared calm on the surface, but in fact she was extremely anxious. "Wait and wait, Aunt Nan has finished her confinement. Wait and wait, Aunt Nan has regained her figure. Wait and wait, Aunt Nan's child is going to have a hundred-day celebration..."
There was a hint of reluctance and anxiety in her tone. She originally thought that something unexpected would happen to Nan Xi during her confinement period, but who knew that Nan Xi not only successfully completed the confinement period, but also recovered so well.
"Did the old lady do anything? It's really worrying. How come Aunt Nan is fine? This shouldn't be the case."
Zi Yan walked in with a cup of freshly brewed tea. Seeing Liu Qixia's worried look, she comforted her softly.
"Princess, don't worry too much. No matter how good Aunt Nan is, she can't surpass you."
Liu Qixia sighed, took the teacup, and gently blew away the tea leaves on the tea.
"Zi Yan, you don't understand. Nan Xi's existence has always been a hidden danger to me."
Zi Yan stood aside, fanning Liu Qixia gently, trying to calm her down.
"Princess, should we..."
Liu Qixia waved her hand and interrupted Zi Yan's words.
"No, now is not the time to act rashly. I have my own ideas."
She stood up, walked to the window, looked at the scenery outside, but her mind was thinking quickly. If the old lady couldn't do it, she had to come up with a comprehensive plan.
A few more days passed, and Liu Qixia couldn't help but take action. She sat in front of the exquisite dressing table and took out a small porcelain bottle.
This was given to her by her mother when she got married. No details were given at the time. She later found out that this was a method used by the mistress of aristocratic families to restrain her concubine.
At that time, she scoffed at it. Given the relationship between her and Brother Jin Yu, she felt that she might never use this thing in her lifetime.
I didn't expect that in just five or six years, I would slap myself in the face.
"Zi Yan, go to the kitchen and prepare a bowl of Tremella soup for Aunt Nan."
Liu Qixia smiled coldly and handed the small porcelain bottle to Zi Yan.
“You add it to the Tremella soup.”
Zi Yan was shocked, but she didn't dare to show it on her face. She just replied in a low voice: "Yes, Princess."
Zi Yan carefully brought the Tremella soup with added ingredients to Jingyayuan.
"Aunt Nan, the princess ordered a bowl of Tremella soup to be sent to you to nourish your body."
Nan Xi took the soup bowl with a smile and "poured" the Tremella soup into the space in front of Zi Yan.
Zi Yan returned with the empty bowl, feeling satisfied.
After Zi Yan left, Nan Xi extracted the toxin and added something to it.
Nan Xi handed the extracted pills to Xiaoying.
"Xiaoying, go to Liu Qixia's room and put this in her teacup."
Xiaoying smiled, jumped out of the window nimbly, and came to Furong Courtyard quietly.
?
A few days later, Liu Qixia discovered that a circle of soft flesh had grown on her slender waist. She was so panicked that she dared not eat anymore.
However, even if she didn't eat, her waist became thicker the next day.
What's worse is that she felt sick, weak all over, dizzy, unable to eat, and wanted to vomit. Even so, the fat on her body was still growing wildly.
Liu Qixia touched her waist and wanted to die. "What's going on? I haven't eaten much these past few days!"
The maids were also confused and didn't know what to do.
Zi Yan: "Princess, are you feeling unwell? Do you want to ask the palace doctor to come and see you?"
Liu Qixia was scared and quickly nodded in agreement.
"Quick, go get the palace doctor!"
The court doctor rushed over and took Liu Qixia's pulse, but couldn't find any major problems.
"Princess, your pulse is stable and there is nothing serious. It may be caused by improper diet or bad mood in recent days."
Liu Qixia felt a little relieved, but still a little uneasy.
"Then, what should I do?"
The court doctor prescribed some conditioning medicine.
"Princess, take a good rest, take your medicine on time, and don't worry too much. You will get better slowly."
Liu Qixia took the medicine, but her condition did not improve. Her waist became thicker, her face became rounder, and her body became weaker.
Zhao Jinyu learned about Liu Qixia's situation and came to Furongyuan to visit her.
"Qixia, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
The last time they parted on bad terms, this was the first time Zhao Jinyu stepped into Furong Courtyard after the quarrel.
