“You don’t need to do this. After all, you are my savior. This money is what you deserve.”

The vendor was dumbfounded when he saw the thick stack of banknotes.

Then, he handed over a potted plant, saying, "Your Majesty, this is the poison you requested."

Qin Chuxing didn't think much of it and handed it to Xiao Tang.

but……

When Xiao Tang first saw this green plant, her expression froze.

【Depend on……】

This is not what I wanted at all!!! Seven Days to Kill!! This is Nine Days to Kill!

At that moment, she really wanted to yell "Damn it!"

She didn't take the pot of poison; her eyes were fixed on the green plants in front of her, her expression blank.

It seemed no one was taking the poison offered, and Qin Chuxing was a little puzzled. "Why didn't you take it?"

He questioned Xiao Tang.

Xiao Tang stiffly accepted the green plant, her smile more painful than her tears. "Thank you, Your Majesty..."

I originally thought that if this was a seven-day kill, I would go back and brew an antidote for Di Jingling.

Now, that's not the case.

That means this Gu medicine can only be used as a research subject for her, and cannot be used for anything else.

She stiffly hugged the plant, her smile lacking sincerity.

"Hey, is this Gu herb very valuable? It was given to me by the owner of the Xinu Market. He has many more pots of it."

"What?" Xiao Tang, whose eyes had dimmed, immediately opened them wide.

The owner of Xinu Market?

Who is this person?

She looked at the vendor excitedly: "Where is he?"

"I don't know. This young master only comes twice a month. Getting to see him depends on luck."

Xiao Tang pursed her lips: "Really?"

"And the boss always holds an auction whenever he comes. He loves collecting beauties, so it's easy to sell them for a high price. Oh, and there are also handsome young men."

When he mentioned those four words, the vendor gave Xiao Tang a strange look.

Xiao Tang naturally saw through the look in this guy's eyes.

What do you mean? You like me like this?

[Beep, the villain's jealousy check-in for the second time!]

【？？？？】

What the heck?

Where did this major villain come from, getting jealous?

Xiao Tang suddenly turned around, looked around, and thought to herself with a hint of fear, "Could it be that the big villain is nearby?"

Is he also at the Xinu Market?

But the market was too noisy, with people coming and going, making it difficult to quickly spot anyone at first glance.

Qin Chuxing didn't notice Xiao Tang's expression. He only knew that he had finished his business, so he said to Xiao Tang, "Now that you have the item, you can solve the problem of the curse for me."

Xiao Tang snapped out of her reverie and softly uttered an "oh".

Leaving the Xinu Market, she held the green plant in her hands and had to say to Qin Chuxing, "Your Majesty, I must say, this is not a seven-day kill, it is a nine-day kill."

Qin Chuxing frowned: "So?"

It's just two days longer than 7 Days to Die.

Is there a difference?

Xiao Tang was furious with him. "Brother... no, Your Majesty, the Seven-Day Kill I asked for was also the Seven-Day Kill you initially told me. You didn't tell me it was the Nine-Day Kill."

The man was slightly taken aback: "Oh, but I don't know enough about these Gu medicines, so it's inevitable that I'll make a mistake. But after all, it's also Nine-Day Kill, only a difference of one word."

"!!!"

[A single word makes all the difference! Okay?]

Xiao Tang was so angry that she jumped up and down.

If she had known earlier that the man had given her a fake, she wouldn't have wanted to...

"So what?" Yu Xiaoshuang sneered. "Now that you've obtained the medicine, you should resolve this matter for His Majesty. Wasn't it supposed to be a Gu poison in the first place?"

Xiao Tang glared at her.

What's it to her?

So much nonsense?

Qin Chuxing clearly noticed Yu Xiaoshuang's dissatisfaction. She pursed her lips and reprimanded her, telling her to step back, "Don't be rude!"

After all, he needed someone's help.

He couldn't afford to provoke Xiao Tang, as it wouldn't do him any good.

Xiao Tang pursed her lips. "Fine, this is the way to break your family's curse. See for yourself and solve it yourself."

After saying that, she slapped the two pieces of paper into the man's hand.

"Hao Fang!" Qin Chuxing's brows twitched. "What do you mean by this? You want me to handle this myself? You're not going to take action personally?"

Xiao Tang pouted, "You gave me the wrong poison, how dare you?"

"You know the crime of deceiving the emperor!"

"Hey, hey, please, you gave me the wrong medicine, is it my fault?" Xiao Tang spread his hands. "And Your Majesty, I am a citizen of the Great Sheng Kingdom. Your laws of Western Qin do not apply to me."

She paused for a moment, then stuffed the pot of Nine-Day Killing Gu medicine into Yu Xiaoshuang's arms.

"Well, it was a faulty medicine to begin with, so it's fine to give it to you."

After saying that, she left.

"Halt!" The emperor's face turned cold, and he suddenly shouted.

With his shout, guards quickly surrounded Xiao Tang, clearly indicating that they had no intention of letting him go.

Holding the pot of Nine-Sun Killer, Yu Xiaoshuang suddenly thought that if the Imperial Preceptor could make an antidote, wouldn't that mean that she and her sister could also take this Gu medicine to detoxify?

She looked at Xiao Tang, her eyes gleaming.

"Your Excellency, since this medicine is fake, let's go find the real one, shall we?"

She then advised Qin Chuxing, "Your Majesty, even the Grand Preceptor didn't expect this to be a pot of Nine-Day Killer. Why don't we talk to the owner of the Xinu Market?"

Qin Chuxing didn't have that much patience.

He stared at Xiao Tang with a sinister look: "If you don't solve this problem in the secret chamber for me, I'll have someone escort you back to the secret chamber, do you understand?"

Just as Xiao Tang was about to speak, she suddenly heard a male voice.
