Su Qingluo used spiritual power to drive the poison to Little Baby's fingertip. Taking advantage of his drowsiness, she pierced the tip of his finger with a silver needle and squeezed out three drops of poison.

Awoken by the slight sting on his finger, Little Baby opened his mouth to cry, but Su Qingluo quickly stuffed a dried sweet potato in his mouth, silencing his impending wail.

Despite the dried sweet potato in his mouth, Little Baby still couldn't help but pout and point to his injured fingertip, as if to complain.

Su Qingluo rubbed his little hand, giggling as she tickled his armpit. He laughed delightfully, immediately forgetting the pain from the needle puncture.

Seeing the two laughing happily, Su Hu entered the room. He cut to the chase and announced his reason for being there.

Upon hearing that the woman had awakened, Su Qingluo was overjoyed and decided to bring Little Baby with her to meet her.

Dressed in a little outfit made by his sister, Little Baby had a cute appearance; with his little arms and legs exposed, his hair tied up in two little buns, he looked just like a child in a New Year's painting.

Carrying Little Baby, Su Qingluo and Su Hu went to the medical hall. The woman trembled as she opened her eyes. She saw the little prince unharmed, his skin white and tender, looking much better than before, and she smiled in relief.

She took out a dark brown token from her bosom, handed it to Su Hu, and asked him to bring it to the county government office, along with a verbal message for the Mingshui County Magistrate to come and see her immediately.

Clutching the token, Su Hu shakily left the medical hall without delay, quickly riding a carriage to the county government office.

Seeing the token in Su Hu's hand, the government officer's legs went weak, and he hurriedly rushed to the back hall.

Upon hearing the news, the County Magistrate's face changed drastically and, with his official hat unstable, he ran to the main hall. Seeing that the visitor was just a common villager, his anger flared, and he was about to scold him. Su Hu, however, quickly explained his purpose and relayed the woman's message.

The County Magistrate took the token, his mouth bitter. He no longer dared to be fierce and slunk out of the government office, riding a carriage to the medical hall.

The killing had taken place on his territory, and the victim was a noble and powerful figure.

Using his toes to add up the facts, the Mingshui County Magistrate realized that his position was far from secure. If the noblewoman wouldn't let the matter go, his life might also be at risk.

Carrying the token in both hands, the County Magistrate entered the medical hall. No one knew what was said between him and the woman.

But when he came out, his face was ashen, his steps unsteady. As he crossed the threshold of the medical hall, he tripped on the doorframe and nearly fell flat on his face.

The woman refused Su Hu and his wife's request to have her convalesce at their home. She entrusted Little Baby to their care and continued to recuperate at the medical hall.

With the woman's awakening, the picturesque Mingshui County Town became turbulent. Gradually, unfamiliar faces appeared, one after another, bringing new danger to the small town.

Though outsiders were oblivious to the conversation between the woman and the County Magistrate, it did not mean Little Kingfisher was ignorant.

Elegantly standing on the eaves combing its feathers, the bird listened intently to the entire conversation. Little Kingfisher then recounted it all to its master.

“Master, the woman's true identity is a Female Official from the Imperial Court, which directly obeys the Empress. High-ranking Female Officials have the power to supervise and execute bureaucrats without needing approval beforehand.'

“On this trip through Mingshui County Town, the woman encountered an assassination attempt. It's related to the poisoning of the Little Prince.”

“The Empress had sought famous doctors all over for the Little Prince, but his condition did not improve. Anxious, she invited an immortal sect master to divine the prince's fate. They said that the prince's life was predestined and that he must follow Weishui River downstream to find his destiny and a noble person.”

“Downstream of Weishui River, in the southeast, lies Medicine King Valley. Believing the immortal sect master's words, the Empress sent the Little Prince to Medicine King Valley for treatment. But their journey was intercepted due to leaked information..
