Chapter 136: Taking Herbs? I

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The chicken soup was refreshing and fragrant. It has a tinge of herbal scent which relieved Wei Pinyao’s cough—she no longer coughed as frequently as before.
“This soup…”
Wei Pinyao took another spoonful of soup which was fed by her maid. She tasted a trace of strange flavor within the soup. She looked up in surprise and her eyes were filled with confusion.
“What kind of herbs did you add?”
Qin Yi was taken aback—herbs could not be simply taken. Even more shocking was the fact that she has never heard of rejuvenating meals being laced with herbs. That’s why she felt anxious and worried after listening to Pinyao’s words.
“That’s right.”
Feng Ruqing grinned.
“In the past, I’ve heard uncle talked about Aunt Yao’s bad health. There’s a medicine that can replenish qi. If one were to constantly use it, it will alter the physique and make it strong. On the contrary, this medicine must not be overly consumed. Once a day shall suffice.”
These medicinal herbs are harmless to normal people thus enabling people to consume without side effects. Nevertheless, medicinal herbs were still medicine—it would eventually affect the body even if it were a little.
“No wonder, no wonder my body feels rejuvenated from drinking this soup. It’s like my weakness has faded away.”
Wei Pinyao’s brows furrowed as her pale face gained its luster. With a gentle smile she said, “But, this is the first time I’m hearing about medicine infused food.”
Feng Ruqing didn’t add any spirit herbs into the meal, therefore she only felt as if her body has gained a slight bit of energy as compared to before. She could finally get up from bed with ease. Although the difference isn’t big, to the bedridden Wei Pinyao, this was a silver lining of hope.
“Pinyao, please allow me to check your pulse.”
Qin Yi quickly reached out and pressed onto Wei Pinyao’s pulse. She did not utter a single word during the whole process. After a while she slowly pushed herself up and spoke with a soft voice, “Pinyao’s pulse indicates that her condition has stabilized. Princess, I’m so sorry for doubting you.”
She didn’t forget how evil and cunning Feng Ruqing was in the past. That was why when Feng Ruqing suddenly decided to treat them so nicely, it was unavoidable to doubt her intentions.
Feng Ruqing understood this and she forced a little smile.
“Aunt and Aunt Yao, as long as you are able to forgive me for my past actions, I’ll be grateful. The rest is irrelevant.”
Seeing the current Feng Ruqing, Wei Pinyao’s heart was delighted.
The general and three great families had been on good terms for generations while she and Empress Nalan had been friends for many years. If Feng Ruqing really was willing to change, then it would be good for both the country and the Nalan family.
“People aren’t saints, who can be pure and free of evil? Now that Princess is more understanding, that will suffice. Whatever’s in the past shall stay in the past. Sister, you too don’t have to constantly hold onto the past. At least for your husband and Empress Nalan, please forgive her for her past mistakes.”
Qin Yi smiled helplessly and said, “You’re now the protagonist, can I not be the antagonist then? As long as you stop hurting the Nalan family, that will be more than enough for me.”
She was able to stop hating her but… She would never be able to get close to her like they once were ten years ago.
Wei Pinyao smiled. Although tough on the outside, her sister was still a softy. She did not say that she would forgive the princess entirely. In order for her to let go of the entire grudge was kind of an impossible task.
But she believed that if the princess was willing to change, Qin Yi would one day like her as much as she did in the past. The princess had a good nature, it was just that she was … influenced by bad people…
