Everyone followed the sound and looked over.
A woman in panic raised her hand to her face, which was covered in small red bumps, making her face and neck extremely ugly and terrifying.
This woman was one of those who had just cornered Li Xianyun.
“My face is so itchy.”
As she spoke, she reached out to scratch her face, while her maid hastily said, “Madam, don’t scratch, it will leave scars.”
But the woman simply couldn’t stop herself; she fiercely clawed at her face because it was just too painful and itchy.
Just then, another noblewoman clutched her face and exclaimed, “My face, my face…”
Her companion asked, “What’s wrong with…”
The woman had not yet finished her words before she began to scratch her own face.
By a strange coincidence, these two people had also just surrounded Li Xianyun.
Zhuo Ma looked on with a smile and turned to Li Xianyun.
Li Xianyun winked at her.

As a physician, having a thorough knowledge of various poisons and their effects was an essential skill, otherwise, how could one treat or cure people?
This time, Li Xianyun had shown restraint, using a less potent poison powder that would make them suffer intense itching for five or six days. After that, the symptoms would subside without leaving scars.
Of course, she had a cure, but Li Xianyun had no desire to provide it to them.
Just now, these three had made subtle moves and then openly gone on the offensive; they were truly detestable.
There is an old saying, “Do not provoke others if they do not provoke you, but if others provoke you, pay them back.” This time, it served as a lesson for them.
“Godmother!” Yelu Xuan squeezed through the crowd and ran to Li Xianyun’s side, grabbing the corner of her robe.
He looked up at her with admiration.
Li Xianyun raised her hand and touched his little head, laughing, “Slow down when you run, be careful not to fall.”
Yuchi Qian hurried over with her maid, curtsied to Li Xianyun, and said apologetically, “Your Highness.”
Li Xianyun nodded at her.
Yuchi Qian breathlessly said to Yelu Xuan, “If you run that fast again, your mother will spank you until your bottom is sore.”
Yelu Xuan made a face at his mother and continued to look up at Li Xianyun with admiration, saying, “Godmother, you were truly amazing earlier, you were unrivaled.”
The last two words had been taught to him by Yuchi Qian, and he was showing off his new knowledge.
Li Xianyun laughed, “Xuanxuan, you really have a way with words, as sweet as honey.”
Yelu Xuan grinned with delight.
“Godmother, may I visit your palace again for a while?”
“Of course.”
Yuchi Qian quickly said, “Xuanxuan, your godmother is exhausted from the horse race today. Let her rest, and don’t bother her anymore.”
Li Xianyun laughed, “It’s fine, I actually have a gift for Xuanxuan.”
She hadn’t taken it out because they had left in a hurry.
Upon hearing about the gift, Yelu Xuan became even more excited and looked at his mother with pleading eyes.
Yuchi Qian had no choice but to agree.
The group chatted and laughed as they walked toward the Khan Palace.
On her way back to her own palace, Guli encountered a palace servant who had gone to gather intelligence.
The servant approached Guli and whispered, “Your Highness Grand Imperial Consort, Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu were detained by Huo Dun outside the Hall of Diligent Governance, and they didn’t manage to deliver the message.”
No wonder Yelu Yan hadn’t been disturbed by Li Xianyun’s situation; the message had not reached him.
Guli frowned and asked, “Why is Huo Dun at the entrance to the Hall of Diligent Governance? Shouldn’t he be with Xiao Dilu?”
The servant replied respectfully, “I don’t know.”
Guli waved her hand in irritation.
The servant quickly stepped aside.
Guli gazed ahead, bearing a look of deep contemplation.
“I wonder if the affairs of Yanzhou will affect Qiqi—that’s his fiefdom, after all.”
“If the Khan suspects him of harboring treasonous ambitions, that would spell trouble.”
After Li Xianyun and her entourage returned to the Khan Palace, the Chief of the meal hall brought everyone sweetened water to quench their thirst.
The sweetened water contained a touch of mint leaves and sweet lemon, creating a refreshing, pleasantly sour and sweet drink.
Yelu Xuan took just one sip before he exclaimed, “Godmother, what is this? It tastes so good.”
The Chief of the meal hall smiled, “This is sugar water made following the Princess’s instructions. It’s refreshing and quenching, and if you add some ice cubes on a particularly hot day, it becomes even more delightful when icy cold.”
Yelu Xuan, cradling the small bowl, continued to drink with relish, thinking to himself, “Why does godmother have so many novel things here?”
Yuchi Qian, looking at Li Xianyun with a smile, said, “Princess, you truly are ingenious and skillful.”
This was no flattery; it was a genuine expression of her thoughts.
Li Xianyun responded with a smile, “You credit me too much, my lady. I merely enjoy concocting new things in the meal hall.”
After finishing the sugar water, Li Xianyun instructed Zhuo Ma to fetch a solid wooden box and place it on the table.
Yelu Xuan, eyeing the wooden box, lit up with excitement and asked, “Godmother, what is this?”
Li Xianyun gave him a smile and then gently opened the box with her delicate, fair hands.
Upon seeing the contents, Yelu Xuan sprang up from Yuchi Qian’s embrace and cheerfully asked, “Godmother, is this a gift for Xuanxuan?”
Inside the box were toys made of wood: a slingshot, a spinning top, a set of linking rings, a silver bell, and a shuttlecock with chicken feathers. Even though Yelu Xuan was unfamiliar with them, it was clear at a glance that these were children’s toys.
Li Xianyun said with a smile, “These are toys I played with as a child, and I’m giving them to you.”
Yuchi Qian quickly interjected, “Princess, you shouldn’t. These are your keepsakes; you shouldn’t give them to Xuanxuan.”
Touching Yelu Xuan’s little face, Li Xianyun said with a smile, “I intended to keep them as mementos, but I’m so fond of Xuanxuan, and we have such a connection, so I wanted to give them to him.”
She looked at Yelu Xuan and said, “Do you like them, Xuanxuan?”
Yelu Xuan nodded his head, then shook it.
He had heard what his mother said earlier and did not want to take the keepsakes from Li Xianyun.
Li Xianyun laughed and said, “I’m giving all these to you. As an adult, I can’t play with these anymore, and they’d just be sitting around doing nothing, going to waste.”
Yelu Xuan looked to Yuchi Qian.
Yuchi Qian looked to Li Xianyun.
Li Xianyun nodded with a smile.
Left with no choice, Yuchi Qian said, “Thank you, Princess.”
“Thank you, godmother,” Yelu Xuan added sweetly from beside her.
But soon, he began to frown and look distressed.
“What’s wrong?” Li Xianyun asked.
“What if Xuanxuan doesn’t know how to play with them?”
The toys that Khitan children played with were nothing like those from Houtang.
“It’s okay, godmother will teach you.”
“Thank you, godmother.”
After the court session ended, the courtiers respectfully left the Hall of Diligent Governance.
Ji Xueyuan led the old ministers, and the other officials filed out strictly according to their rank.
Along the way, they were all quiet, with not a single person daring to speak unnecessarily.
After leaving the Imperial Palace and arriving at the place where the horses and carriages were kept, a short-bearded official asked another with a long beard, “Brother, my carriage is broken, would it be possible to ride along in yours?”
The long-bearded official immediately replied, “Of course, come on.”
Ji Xueyuan glanced at the two of them and muttered under his breath, “Two spineless old fools.”
With that, he headed into the carriage of the Nanwang Mansion.
