Xiao Tang: ?

Good grief!

[This nickname, "little charlatan,"...who does it imply?]

Inside the study, Di Jingling heard Xiao Tang's voice and slightly raised his eyebrows, "Come in."

Yang Defu, who had just been speaking with righteous indignation, suddenly fixed his gaze on Xiao Tang's face.

This young lady from the Duke of Xiao's mansion is quite remarkable.

Although he was brought from the countryside, he woke up the regent who had been in a coma for months as soon as he returned. He's a great lucky star!

Xiao Tang, who was also sizing up Yang Defu, smiled slightly.

Her smile appeared gentle, but she was already astonished inside.

[This young man is really handsome!]

[As expected, the author of this book is a sucker for good looks; all the characters, whether protagonists or antagonists, are visually appealing.]

Look closely, wow, this kid does look a bit like Daniel Wu.

[Tsk, look at this kid's tanned skin, look at his captivating, alluring eyes, and those flirtatious lips—so sexy! He's so much cuter than that villain!]

The man who had heard her thoughts clearly turned dark with anger.

He spoke coldly: "What are you holding in your hands?"

With a single sentence, he easily broke the sizing-up exchange between Xiao Tang and General Yang.

To the man, the way they looked at each other was no different from exchanging glances.

Xiao Tang snapped out of her reverie and placed the bowl of medicine on the man's table. "Your Highness, this is the antidote, which I prepared for you."

A coquettish voice suddenly rang out in the room.

Yang Defu was startled by the soft, seductive voice, and goosebumps immediately rose on his hands.

"Hmm..." Taking the medicine bowl from Xiao Tang, Di Jingling's eyes swept over the layer of white foam floating on the surface of the bowl, and his brows furrowed deeply.

This scene was so bad that he couldn't bear to look at it.

Having drunk so much medicine, this was the first time he had ever seen such a disgusting medicinal liquid.

Xiao Tang saw him staring thoughtfully at the medicine bowl, his smile unwavering.

"Your Highness, the medicine won't be effective if it gets cold."

"My lord, I've been so worried about your health that I can't sleep at night or eat properly. Please don't let my love go to waste!"

[What are you hesitating for, you big villain? Do you think I'd bother poisoning you here?]

[Hmph, judging a gentleman by the standards of a petty person.]

Finally, she saw Di Jingling pick up the medicine bowl, his eyes wide open, his gaze seemingly holding the stars and the sea.

He wants to drink!

[After you finish this bowl of antidote, that scoundrel will be mine. I'll have to keep him firmly under my control.]

[Drinking one bowl only keeps the flare-up for half a month, haha!]

Only after drinking the full three-day dose of medicine can the poison of "black teeth" be completely cured.

The man brought the bowl of medicine to his lips, and it was clear the villain was about to gulp it down...

but……

He suddenly stopped moving.

Not a drop was touched, and it was placed back on the table untouched.

Xiao Tang: ?

What the hell does he mean?

Are you trying to throw a smokescreen at me?

[Grass is just a plant, but I spent my only 10 points, and a hundred taels of silver that I had worked so hard to earn!]

She earned a total of five hundred taels of silver. After buying medicine for that villain, she still had three hundred taels left.

I felt a pang of regret.

Moreover, this medicine is only enough for one dose; he needs to drink it for three consecutive days, nine bowls in total, to counteract its effects.

Seeing his hesitation, she blinked her clear, innocent eyes innocently, "My lord, why aren't you drinking?"

"come over."

Now it was Xiao Tang's turn to hesitate.

He's definitely up to no good!

But Di Jingling seemed impatient, and with a stretch of his long arm, he pulled her into his embrace.

Xiao Tang lost her balance and fell directly into the man's arms.

Yang Defu, who had been standing to the side as if he were invisible, stared wide-eyed, dumbfounded, stunned, and his body trembled.

What... what's going on here?

Can't the two of them please understand the pitiful grievances of this single person involved?!
