Chapter 572 He immediately noticed the medicine jar in her hand.

Xiao Tang scoffed, "That's more like it."

She took out silver needles and temporarily forced out the poisonous blood that had manifested in the man's body.

When Wanqing entered the room, she saw Zhao Yunmiao, who was covered in needles.

That appearance was truly terrifying.

Wanqing pursed her lips gently, "Your Majesty, my young lady..."

"No, miss, I know now, he's a man, right?"

Wanqing was stunned.

She never imagined that this secret... would be discovered.

"I, this, this servant, he..."

She tried her best to explain something, but when the words reached her lips, she didn't know how to explain them, and in the end, only a few hesitant words remained.

Xiao Tang sat to the side, crossing her legs.

"If you honestly explain yourself, I can allow you and your servant to leave the palace safely."

"If I've told even half a lie, don't blame me."

Wanqing immediately kowtowed.

"Your Majesty, to be honest, His Majesty originally wanted to choose my second young lady this time, but she... her face is covered in sores and she looks terrible."

"The Emperor summoned the Second Miss here because he wanted to infect His Majesty of Dasheng with the hidden illness she was carrying, so that he could control her."

“Our Zhao family has been secretly researching poisons for generations, researching all kinds of poisons. The children of the Zhao family are all poison tanks.”

"The Zhao family was born to serve Emperor Dongyuan; they are merely tools. Wherever the emperor points, the Zhao family must fight."

"However... Young Master heard that there are many famous doctors in the Great Sheng Kingdom, so he knocked the Second Miss unconscious before setting off and came in her place."

"Please forgive us, Your Majesty, we also wanted to rebel, that's why..."

Xiao Tang listened to the maid's explanation and began to ponder.

It doesn't sound like a lie.

Why is Zhao Yunmiao acting so realistically during the day? I thought he was a bit of a tea b*tch.

"Do you know that if you go back like this, you'll just die anyway?"

“We know, we naturally know, but Your Majesty… we have no way out.”

Wanqing had unknowingly cried until her face was covered in tears.

She didn't know why she was crying; she was probably just sad.

I feel sorry for her son.

Xiao Tang crossed her arms. "Aren't you afraid of implicating your Zhao family by saying that?"

She had seen firsthand what kind of person Emperor Dongyuan was.

In terms of ruthlessness, she's no match for the main villain in her family.

The maidservant smiled wryly: "The Zhao family is so useful that the Emperor wouldn't dare touch them until another family replaces the Zhao family..."

What a clever maid!

Xiao Tang was genuinely a little surprised.

The fact that the main villain was poisoned by Gu poison before was also because of the Dongyuan Kingdom.

That place is absolutely toxic...

She nodded. "Alright, I'll think about it. You can remove the silver needles from his body in half an hour. Just throw these poisoned needles away and don't leave them behind."

Wanqing immediately knew that Xiao Tang had agreed to save the person, and she kowtowed to her repeatedly.

It seems Xiao Tang might change her mind.

"Thank you so much, Your Highness, for saving my young master. I will serve you with all my heart and soul in the future!"

It's certainly worthwhile to keep such a clever maid by our side.

However, Xiao Tang dared not accept such a maid. Who knew what the maid was thinking, especially since she was a maid loyal to Zhao Yunmiao.

"No need. You don't need to kowtow to me like that. I only saved him because he was too annoying."

After saying this, Xiao Tang strode away.

I really didn't want to see the maid continue kowtowing.

Wanqing remained prostrate on the ground until Xiao Tang's footsteps had completely disappeared from sight, only then did she dare to raise her head.

His eyes betrayed his panic.

"Wanqing," the person on the bed called out to her.

Wanqing, who had been somewhat conflicted, immediately showed a look of joy on her face. "Young Master, you're awake?"

She knelt down and rushed to the bedside, tears welling up in her eyes.

She already had a pair of bright, sparkling eyes, and now, with tears welling up in them, her eyes seemed to be filled with a misty haze.

She looked at Zhao Yunmiao nervously, feeling both like crying and laughing.

Zhao Yunmiao was about to get up, but after glancing at her hedgehog-like body, she immediately understood.

He lowered his voice and asked, "Did the Empress cure my illness?"

A single, crystal-clear tear still clung to the corner of Wanqing's eye. She nodded vigorously, overjoyed. "Her Majesty the Empress said she would consider it and would definitely treat you."

“I also told the Empress that as long as she can cure your illness, we will leave the palace immediately.”

Zhao Yunmiao smiled helplessly.

If Xiao Tang is that skilled, she could tell he's a man just by taking his pulse.

Since that's the case, whether he stays in the palace or not poses no threat to Xiao Tang.

Xiao Tang certainly doesn't care whether he stays or leaves.

...

Xiao Tang went back and hummed a little tune as she rummaged through her room looking for the medicine bottles she had concocted.

Those medicinal herbs she used were really good stuff.

As long as the medicinal herbs are available to prepare the medicine, it won't be a problem to treat Zhao Yunmiao's health.

[You damn system, you bastard system! Three new features unlocked, you said it yourself, just you wait!]

[Host, don't be too happy yet. That person's poison is very difficult to cure.]

Do I really need you to tell me?

Um... I was just worried about you.

Are you teaching me how to do things?

The system chooses to remain silent.

It seems like there's something wrong with it no matter how you look at it...

Xiao Tang pulled out three bottles and jars.

These three medicine jars were made by her in her spare time while mixing medicines at the Xiao residence.

Di Jingling's medicine shops are located throughout the five continents, including the Eastern Abyss Kingdom.

She can pick up the medicine from the pharmacy at any time.

Moreover, the medicine shop located in Dongyuan also has many medicinal herbs that can only be found in Dongyuan, which provides her with a lot of convenience in preparing medicine.
