Chapter 1008: Treatment

Qin An and the others formed a circle around Qiao Xuan, anxiously awaiting her intervention to save the flower.

Aware that they might be attempting to steal her knowledge, Qiao Xuan made it clear that she would only share the maintenance method without guaranteeing its long-term effectiveness.

Flower nurturing, like any other craft, required personal exploration and cultivation. It couldn’t be easily taught. Each individual had to rely on their own efforts to comprehend it.

Qiao Xuan possessed limited knowledge herself, so she refrained from providing extensive instruction. They wouldn’t be able to replicate it on their own.

It wasn’t that she wanted to withhold information, but rather, she had to do so. Sooner or later, the Queen and Princess Consort would issue the order.

After all, who could a.s.sure that the flowers would remain in good health in the future? What if something unfortunate happened again? Qiao Xuan couldn’t be expected to attend to them within the court indefinitely.

Apparently, Qin An and the others understood this as well. Upon hearing Qiao Xuan’s words, they wore expressions of “naturally!” without a hint of grat.i.tude.

Contrarily, they felt a tinge of unease. They weren’t certain whether they hoped for Qiao Xuan’s success or failure in saving the flowers.

A conflicted sentiment arose, leaning towards preserving the flowers.

Although doing so would highlight their incompetence, at least their positions and livelihoods would be preserved…

If Mrs. Shao failed to save the flowers, they would all face dire consequences.

Qiao Xuan directed someone to dig out the flowers, replacing the soil and tr.i.m.m.i.n.g the roots. After two hours of exposure to sunlight, she removed all the withered parts and replanted them. Then she watered them and arranged for a shade to be built.

Following a series of procedures, evening approached.

“Is that… all?”

Qin An and the others exchanged bewildered glances.

Qiao Xuan nodded confidently. “Tomorrow, you’ll see an improvement. Don’t worry!”

The group remained speechless.

Concerned, the Empress dispatched her trusted attendants from the palace to guard the imperial garden.

Observing Qiao Xuan’s dramatic actions, Princess Consort couldn’t help but inquire anxiously as they left the court.

Qiao Xuan offered a rea.s.suring smile. “Princess Consort, please don’t worry. I have great confidence in this.”

With a smile, Princess Consort sighed, “Well, we have no choice but to trust you!”

News of Qiao Xuan’s presence in court to treat the flowers quickly spread among the princes, n.o.bles, and upper cla.s.s of the capital.

Even before she had left the palace, word had already reached various ears.

Doubt pervaded the minds of many. Some even secretly mocked Editor Shao for involving his wife in such matters!

Could it be that his wife’s skills in tending to flowers and plants surpa.s.sed those of the specialized palace gardeners? It would be comical if she overstepped her abilities!

Madame Tian felt even more disgusted.

Madame Lin’s attempt to teach Qiao Xuan a lesson backfired. Instead, it was Qiao Xuan who reprimanded the entire room, leaving Madame Tian fuming with anger.

Seething with resentment, Mrs. Tian contemplated how she could humiliate Qiao Xuan, when suddenly she heard the news!

Madame Tian sneered, unable to contain her derision. She ridiculed Officer Tian, saying, “This woman truly has no sense of her own status! She can’t even rise above her station. Yet, she dares to engage in such menial tasks, going to the palace to s.n.a.t.c.h work from the eunuchs! How utterly laughable.”

Officer Tian glanced at her, remaining silent.
