Chapter 4: Leaving Compensation

A majestic courtyard, with a red plaque on the door with three big characters written on it: Yuwangfu

In the study, a man who had washed and changed his clothes, now dressed in a black brocade robe, leaned on a chair, the note in his hand had been wrinkled by his fist. He stared at the small medicine bottle on the table with deep eyes, and his whole body exuded a pressure that could freeze people to death.

At this time, the study door was opened and two guards came in.

"Subordinate, I pay my respects to the prince."

The two guards did not hear the answer and knelt quietly, not daring to stand up. They only felt that their prince was in a very bad mood at the moment and could not help shivering.

After a while, the man opened his thin lips and asked, "What happened last night? And where did that woman come from?"

The two guards were stunned and looked at each other.

"Your Highness, we didn't find any women last night... Before An Er and I left, the prince's poison was about to take effect. For our safety, we avoided being hunted down. There must be many assassins ambushing in the palace. The inn is a big target, so we had to place the prince in the Flower Fairy Tower. The crowd in the Flower Fairy Tower makes it difficult to detect. I asked my mother to find a servant to guard the door, and then An Er and I immediately returned to the palace to deal with the assassins. We wanted to deal with it as soon as possible and bring the prince back to the palace... Could it be that the prince... the prince..."

An Yi swallowed his saliva, and finally did not dare to ask what was in his heart.

"You two, leave your guards and receive twenty lashes each! And go find the person you were looking for last night. If you find her, bring her before me immediately!"

"Yes! I obey your command!"

After the two secret guards retreated, an old man entered the study carrying a medicine box.

"Your humble servant greets His Majesty!"

"Doctor Liu, please take a look at this pill and see if it will be effective against the toxins in my body."

Prince Yu casually threw the small medicine bottle on the table to Doctor Liu.

Doctor Liu opened the medicine bottle, put it to his nose and smelled it, then poured out another pill, picked up a little powder with his hand, and crushed it between his fingers.

"Wonderful! Really wonderful! Where did the prince get this pill?"

Prince Yu looked at the reaction of Doctor Liu and understood that the medicine left by the woman was useful to him.

"It was an unexpected discovery. Did Doctor Liu find out anything?" To be on the safe side, he asked.

"I am an old man of low talent. I have not been able to make a pill with such an effect for the prince in all these years. I am really ashamed! This pill is indeed useful! And it is very useful! It can inhibit the accumulation of toxins in the prince's body and can also reduce the pain when the prince relapses."

"Oh? Then come and help me take my pulse."

After saying this, he pulled up his sleeves and placed his arms on the table.

Doctor Liu's eyes lit up, and he asked in surprise, "Did the prince find a miracle doctor to treat him?"

The King shook his head in confusion: "After the poison took effect yesterday, I felt better than before."

Doctor Liu stroked his beard and nodded: "Your Highness is in much better spirits today than before! His pulse is also strong and vigorous. The toxins in your body have been sealed and will not spread for at least three years. If your Highness can find this miracle doctor, he may be able to detoxify you. With his ability to concoct such wonderful elixirs and his acupuncture skills, he must be one of the best miracle doctors in the world! There are always people who are better than you, and I really admire him!"

Your Majesty, if you are lucky enough to allow me to meet the miracle doctor and have a conversation with him, I will die without regrets..."

Prince Yu thought of the woman from last night, his handsome brows knitted together, his eyes dark and unclear, and he said lightly: "You go down first!"

"Yes, Your Majesty! I will take my leave!"

After Doctor Liu left, he opened the crumpled paper again. The scribbled words on the paper were snow-white and thick, and the tip of the pen was very thin, not like it was written with ink.

He had a new layer of doubt about the identity of the woman last night. Although she left behind a pill that could suppress his poison, what she did to him was really hard for him to accept.

Huh~ Compensation? You tarnished my innocence, and all you get in return is a few pills?

If she could cure his poison, he might consider sparing her life! Otherwise, he would let her experience a hundred ways to die.

…

"Miss, something happened, wake up quickly..."

Yun Li was sleeping soundly when she was woken up by someone. She opened her eyes lazily and saw a round-faced and round-eyed girl named Tao Hong. She was the original owner's maid and an orphan. She was taken in and raised by the original owner's mother. After the original owner's mother died, the two masters and servants depended on each other for survival.

Yun Li asked nonchalantly, "What's wrong?"

"Miss, something happened to the eldest lady! I heard that she was hiding a man in her room, and several people in the mansion saw her this morning..."

Seeing Yunli didn't say anything, Taohong was nervous and thought that she had disturbed the young lady's sleep, so she said:

"I saw you were sleeping until noon and still not waking up, so I couldn't help but come over to call you."

Yunli nodded. "Oh, what happened in the end?"

"And the young lady's room was completely robbed. Everything disappeared overnight! The man seemed to be dead. The Prime Minister was furious when he returned from court. He ordered an investigation and warned everyone in the palace to keep their mouths shut. If the news got out..."

Taohong described it vividly and even made a gesture of wiping her neck.

Yun Li was amused and asked, "How did my good sister react?"

"I heard that the eldest daughter fainted on the spot, and the wife also fainted. The doctor is treating them now."

"I'm really not scared~"

However, the love pill she gave Yun Ran was invisible to ordinary doctors, so she was not afraid that the doctor would find out something.

In a good mood! She planned to take Taohong out for a stroll to see the street scene of Yueqi Country.

The two of them walked and talked as they headed towards the courtyard. The Prime Minister's Mansion was in chaos and no one would notice them, so Yun Li walked out in such a swagger.

"Taohong, do you want to change your name? I think your name is a bit rustic."

"Ah? Miss, this servant's name was given to her by Madam, and she has been calling me that for more than ten years..."

Yunli shook her head. Her mother was too old-fashioned. Giving such a cute girl such a rustic name...

"Taohong, be obedient. I'll give you a nice name! Cherry! Little cherry! Round and cute, and an alluring red..."

"Okay then! But Miss, you've been calling me your slave for over ten years now. You're used to it now. What if you don't get used to it later?"

"No, ha~ Cherry is more comfortable for me! And don't call me a slave girl when you speak next time! Just call me you!"

"But...but..."

"Don't say but, just listen to what your lady says~ Be good..."

"All right"

The ancient concept of hierarchy and illegitimate children is too deeply rooted, and the constant bowing is really annoying...

After saying that, Yunli pinched Cherry's round face.

Wow~ It feels so good, soft and bouncy...

"Let's go! From now on, I'll take you to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks!"
