The carriage sped along rapidly!
By the time they reached home, the carriage wheels were almost sparking.
Xiao Sui An had just been carried down by her Eldest Brothers when she hurriedly ran to the backyard, picked three stalks of Silver Green Grass, and pulled Su Jinhan along as they rushed toward the Imperial Palace.
Su Jinhan was confused at first and asked in surprise, "What is wrong with this child, acting so flustered? Didn't we just return from the palace?"
When she learned that the medicinal herb capable of healing the Old Imperial Concubine was in Xiao Sui An's hands, Su Jinhan was also too shocked to speak.
But soon, she touched her chest and calmed down.
Ever since she brought Xiao Sui An home, had there been any shortage of shocking, joyful, and miraculous events?
Su Jinhan could not help but sigh deeply; her daughter truly was a blessing sent by the heavens!
At this moment, in Huaze Palace, the Old Imperial Concubine had already changed into a new dressing for her wound.
Looking at the bloody hole in her face reflected in the bronze mirror, she closed her eyes in resignation.
"Shufang, do you think that when I was young, I was too arrogant and intolerant, to the point that even the heavens could not bear it, insisting that I suffer so many hardships and still endure such pain in my old age?"
Granny Zhou's eyes turned red, and she hurriedly stepped forward to take away the mirror. "What are you saying? In this deep palace, you have never harmed anyone! If the heavens truly have eyes, they should let you enjoy happiness instead."
The words had just fallen.
At this moment, the pitter-patter of Xiao Sui An's footsteps came happily from outside.
Grand Consort Grandmother, your "good fortune" has arrived!
The Old Imperial Concubine was just about to shed tears when she couldn't help but startle. "Why does it seem like I heard Sui An's voice? Is it her?"
Granny Zhou heard it too, and just as she was about to go out to look, Xiao Sui An had already run into the main hall. "Grand Consort Grandmother, it is me!"
The Old Imperial Concubine was overjoyed and hurriedly stood up. "I thought I had misheard. Child, why have you entered the palace again? Did you miss Grand Consort Grandmother?"
Xiao Sui An puffed up her little round cheeks and pulled a handful of emerald green from behind her back.
A handful of emerald green capable of working miracles!
"Grand Consort Grandmother, I have brought you the Silver Green Grass," Xiao Sui An announced in a milky voice.
The Old Imperial Concubine trembled all over, her gaze fixed intently on what was in her hands as she asked in disbelief, "What? Are you saying that what you are holding now is what Imperial Physician Zhang spoke of, the thing that can make flesh and blood grow back?!"
Xiao Sui An nodded vigorously and smiled. "That is right, Grand Consort Grandmother. Do you trust me? If you do, hurry and call the Imperial Physician to prepare the medicine for you."
"I trust you, Grand Consort Grandmother certainly trusts you!"
Sui An had already shown her a miracle; no matter what she said, she would believe it without question.
The Old Imperial Concubine dared not even breathe. "Someone, quickly invite Imperial Physician Zhang back."
For a moment, she was suddenly transported back to that day.
Back to the day Xiao Sui An cured her hemiplegia!
Was a miracle truly about to descend once again?
The Old Imperial Concubine almost shed tears at the thought and pulled Xiao Sui An tightly into her arms. "Child, are you really going to save Grand Consort Grandmother a second time?"
Soon, Imperial Physician Zhang received the summons and returned to Huaze Palace.
"Why has the Old Imperial Concubine summoned this humble official? Is the wound bleeding again, or is the anesthetic insufficient?" Imperial Physician Zhang asked nervously as soon as he entered.
The Old Imperial Concubine regained her composure and pointed to the side. "You, first take a look at what this is."
Imperial Physician Zhang turned his head in surprise.
As soon as his gaze touched the Silver Green Grass, his expression changed drastically!
"This is..." Imperial Physician Zhang was extremely astonished. In his memory, the Silver Green Grass recorded in medical books was exactly like this. "Old Imperial Concubine, where did you obtain this?"
The Old Imperial Concubine looked stern. "What you should not ask, you need not ask. Just prepare the medicine!"
Imperial Physician Zhang opened his mouth wide, and when he turned his head again, he saw Xiao Sui An sitting in the Old Imperial Concubine's arms, looking at him with a smile.
No... that is impossible...
It could not possibly have been found by this child; he absolutely did not believe it!
Seeing him staring fixedly at Xiao Sui An, the Old Imperial Concubine, protective of her, shouted angrily, "You physician, do you still wish to delay the treatment of my wound? Why don't you hurry and prepare the medicine!"
Imperial Physician Zhang started, hurriedly accepted the order, and then cautiously took the Silver Green Grass, mixing it into the wound ointment according to the proportions in the medical book.
Soon, the brownish-green ointment was ready.
Granny Zhou hurriedly brought it over and applied it bit by bit to the Old Imperial Concubine's wound.
As soon as the ointment touched her face, the Old Imperial Concubine was amazed to find that a warm current seemed to pass through the wound, and she did not feel any pain at all.
After the wound was fully covered with the ointment, only a quarter of an hour passed before a shocking scene occurred!
They saw that fresh skin and flesh were actually growing out of the Old Imperial Concubine's original bloody hole.
At first, this patch of skin was like new, soft and smooth.
But soon, nourished by the blood and qi, the newly grown skin developed fine lines and the traces of time, blending into the Old Imperial Concubine's face so naturally that it was almost invisible.
Xiao Sui An was also shocked.
She never expected this Silver Green Grass to be so magical!
The Old Imperial Concubine held the bronze mirror, feeling both surprised and delighted. "Good, it is truly good. It is worthy of being called a Sacred Artifact; it lives up to its reputation."
She turned her head to look at Xiao Sui An, her heart surging with excitement.
This child had saved her twice now.
She was simply an Immortal in the flesh, a Lucky Star sent from heaven!
The Old Imperial Concubine longed to hug Sui An tightly and kiss her a few times.
But thinking that Imperial Physician Zhang was still there, she suppressed the affection in her heart and said with a straight face, "If a single word about me obtaining the Silver Green Grass leaks from your mouth, watch out for your life. Do you hear me?"
As the saying goes, possessing a treasure is a crime.
She must never let it be known that Xiao Sui An possessed such a treasure.
Imperial Physician Zhang nodded hurriedly, not daring to go out and gossip.
At this time, Xiao Sui An thought of something. Since the Silver Green Grass could restore skin to its original state...
Then what about Eldest Brother's burn scar?
Her eyes lit up, and she asked Imperial Physician Zhang in a hurried tone, "The Silver Green Grass can heal fresh wounds, but what about old scars? For example, disfigurement, can it be restored?"
Imperial Physician Zhang recalled what was recorded in the medical books and nodded without hesitation.
"Old scars are far harder to treat than new ones, but the Silver Green Grass is extremely powerful and can still make flesh and blood regenerate."
"If you mix the Silver Green Grass into beauty cream at a ratio of 1:20 and apply it daily, it should recover in a hundred days."
Xiao Sui An widened her eyes, thinking it was too slow.
So she asked, "Then what if I don't mix it with anything else, but just crush the Silver Green Grass alone and apply it thickly over the entire face?"
Imperial Physician Zhang looked astonished. "The entire face? A thick application? That would consume far too much Silver Green Grass; it is almost an impossible feat."
Even a single stalk of this item was hard to come by.
To use it like that would require dozens of stalks. Did she think she was an Immortal? It was simply a pipe dream.
Xiao Sui An waved her little hand and said anxiously, "You don't need to worry about that. Just tell me, if you do as I say, how long will it take to heal the old scars on the face?"
Imperial Physician Zhang was stunned.
He slowly held up five fingers.
"No more than... five days."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Sui An's little heart pounded wildly, and she was so happy she almost cried.
Just five days? Does that mean Eldest Brother's face will be better soon?
"Goodbye, Grand Consort Grandmother, I have to go home!"
Xiao Jia Huo let out a cry and jumped off the couch, laughing and crying at the same time. She had to hurry back to restore Eldest Brother's handsome appearance!
