The Prime Minister's eldest daughter was betrothed to the powerful and influential Prince Reverent!
This should have been a great joyous occasion, but one was a famously ugly and useless ...
Qian Youxue slowly woke up. Although she was still unable to fully concentrate on cultivating the mental technique from beginning to end, it was obviously not as difficult as the last time.
call……
She exhaled a large breath of stale air, circulated her spiritual energy, and burst out of the ground. Mud covered her delicate body. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and summoned the Yin-Yang Sword.
The sword techniques of Yingzi Lian appeared in her mind, and she practiced them diligently several times with the Yin-Yang Sword. She knew that these sword techniques must contain some other power, but she did not yet have the ability to comprehend them, so she could only master the moves first.
Several hours later, after soaking in the Snow Spirit Spring, she returned to her room, removed the barrier, opened the window to look at the moon outside. The moon was about to set, and it should be getting light soon.
If there are enough people, those two walls should have been finished by now. Why haven't those two girls come back yet?
Being away from my own territory, I felt somewhat worried.
So she decided to go and see what was going on. As she turned around, she heard the silvery laughter of two maids, and then the two girls pushed open the door and came in.
"After a whole night of this, have some water first." Qian Youxue poured water for the two maids, opened the window, stuck her head back in, and shouted into the empty courtyard, "Leng Mo, you come out here!"
Leng Mo, who was dozing in the tree, heard Qian Youxue's call, rolled down and came to the window: "Your Highness, what do you need?"
"I'm hungry. Go get me something to eat," Qian Youxue ordered.
Well……
Leng Mo was dumbfounded and somewhat confused about the situation. After all, he was now a first-class guard in the Prince's mansion. These were things that maids and servants should do, so why was it his turn?
"Not going? If you don't go, I'll tell the Prince that you were peeping at me!" Seeing that the Prince was standing there indifferently, Qian Youxue wiped her hands and started to act spoiled.
With a cold, bitter smile, he waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, Your Highness, please have mercy on this servant! This servant will go right away!"
"Then hurry up!" Qian Youxue shouted impatiently.
Seeing that the young lady had dismissed Leng Mo, Yunhe finally burst out laughing: "Miss, he's a first-class guard. If you treat him like a maid or servant, he'll definitely hate you."
"Who cares? Who told someone to be so stingy, not even assigning me a couple of maids?" Qian Youxue complained, guessing that it must have been Granny Zhou who made things difficult for her.
yes!
Mei'er and Yunhe then realized that there were no other servants in the courtyard besides themselves. If there were a distinction between men and women, there should have been at least two maids. Could it be Zhou Mama's idea?
"Alright, let's talk about this later. Tell me about tonight's results." Qian Youxue was quite interested in this. Anyway, the food hadn't been served yet, so she decided to listen first.
Yunhe took a couple more sips of tea and then reported the events of the evening to his master.
At first, the servants thought the two girls were joking. Yunhe first persuaded a guard in the outer courtyard and gave the reward to him first. After the guard took the pill and found no problems, more and more people gathered around.
Qian Youxue gave a total of six bottles, each containing ten pills. Yunhe only used the amount from two bottles. Firstly, the number of guards and servants in the outer courtyard was limited. Secondly, she felt that having too many people would be a waste; twenty people could easily fill two walls.
Halfway through the work, Granny Zhou and Shuicao came by. They watched expectantly as the guards swallowed the pills, and even called one of them over for questioning. Needless to say, this matter was also reported to the Prince.
Yunhe originally thought that the prince would send someone to stop them, but everything went very smoothly until the end of the workday, and no one came over to say anything.
hehe……
Qian Youxue smiled after hearing this and said smugly, "At least that guy needed my help, so he didn't dare to go too far. If he really annoyed me, he'd be the one who suffered!"
Yunhe knew the whole story, but Mei'er asked, puzzled, "What could a man as rich and powerful as the Prince possibly need from you?"
"The prince is ill and needs treatment!" Qian Youxue replied with six words. Hearing footsteps outside, she got up and opened the door.
Mei'er knows that the prince is ill, but the matter of treating illness is not something that needs to be addressed by a doctor. What does it have to do with her young lady?
Seeing Mei'er's puzzled look, Yunhe said slyly from the side, "You'll understand soon enough. The Prince has a lot of demands on our young lady."
Mm mm mm!
Mei nodded, only half understanding. She looked up and saw several old women carrying a pile of food in, with Leng Mo following behind.
"Your Majesty, are these enough for you?" Leng Mo asked in a soft, indifferent voice.
The princess is so capable, she must know that Leng Qing is nearby, so why did she specifically ask him to do these things?
Qian Youxue did know that Leng Qing and Leng Yu were also in the courtyard, but she just happened to find Leng Mo more agreeable. Most importantly, Leng Mo was bad at talking, and occasionally Yun He could get some information out of him.
Seeing his aggrieved expression, she pretended to be angry and said, "What? You can't even do a small favor for me? Go, get two jars of wine."
"Wine!" Leng Mo shouted. If the prince found out that he had sent wine to the princess, he would be skinned alive.
No way!
It seemed that even the princess's gaze could peel away a layer of skin from him.
"Yunhe, you go with him. Once you find the place, you won't need to bother him next time." Qian Youxue winked at Yunhe.
Yunhe stepped forward and patted Lengmo on the shoulder, saying casually, "Kid, be nice to our master, and you'll get your share of the benefits."
benefit?
Leng Mo's eyes lit up. He had just heard from the guards in the front yard that the princess's maid was using pills to make the guards in the front yard do their work. That was quite a generous gesture. Could it be the benefit Yunhe mentioned?
Thinking of the benefits, he inexplicably led Yunhe out of the room.
As soon as everyone left, Qian Youxue, who was already starving, pulled Mei'er to start eating. Mei'er sat down, her gaze fixed on the doorway.
"Don't worry, Leng Mo's blockhead isn't as good as Yun He's," Qian Youxue said confidently.
Mei'er nodded and took out the few bottles of unused pills from her person. Qian Youxue didn't take them back: "Keep these with you. You'll need them later. I'll give you and Yunhe your pills separately. When I break through to the intermediate alchemist level, I'll give you even better enhancement pills."
Pfft!
Mei sprayed out all the water she had drunk, luckily it didn't hit the table, otherwise the food on the table would have been wasted.
Cough cough cough...
Choking and with tears streaming down her face, she looked at her mistress in disbelief: "Miss, you...you are an alchemist?"
"Otherwise, where would I get so many pills to win people's hearts?" Qian Youxue patted Mei'er's back, surprised that this girl, who usually did things properly, was so easily provoked.
