Chapter 332 Does the lady like the Third Prince?
"You want the antidote?" Hou Jian rolled his eyes and said, "Let me go, and I'll give you the antidote."
"Jin Wu." Xiao Jiuyue stepped back, and Jin Wu stepped forward and kicked him. "What are you dreaming about? I asked you to take out the antidote just to save you some pain, and you're still bargaining?"
Hou Jian howled from the beating. He curled up and said, "Go ahead and beat me to death. I won't give you the antidote. This deadly poison was developed by a talented man in our village. Without an antidote, anyone who gets poisoned will surely die!"
Hou Jian shouted loudly, and Jin Wu grabbed his neck and asked, "Can you get the antidote? If you go back to the village, will you bring the antidote back?"
"Yes, I keep my word." Hou Jian answered without thinking. With Jin Wu pinching his neck, he felt difficulty breathing and even had difficulty speaking a word.
Before Jin Wu could say anything, Xiao Jiuyue sneered, "It's better to believe that a sow can climb a tree than to believe that a bandit can keep his word!"
Xiao Jiuyue turned around and left. She was so anxious that she was confused. Hou Jian was thinking about getting away. This kind of antidote definitely could not be obtained by one person, so there was no point in looking for Hou Jian.
Xiao Jiuyue's eyes darkened slightly as he looked at Jin Wen who had brought the bloody man back and asked, "Jin Wen, after Shan Ge and the others left last time, did you know how to contact them?"
"I know." Jin Wen nodded and said, "Brother Shan and the others were very obedient to Hua Qing's Heart-Twisting Pills. They must have been scared by these pills."
"Go ask around and find a way to get the antidote for this deadly poison!" Xiao Jiuyue said. After Jin Wen left, she still felt uneasy and called Hua Qing, who was researching medicine, over: "Hua Qing, can you detoxify it?"
"I can poison you, but I'm not good at detoxifying you." Hua Qing raised her head from the assorted herbs in front of her, her eyes instantly lighting up: "Who's been poisoned?"
"Your Highness the Third Prince has been poisoned by the Eighteen Villages' life-threatening poison. If the poison cannot be cured within twelve hours, your life may be in danger." Xiao Jiuyue was not vague and spoke directly.
Hua Qing jumped up and ran to Xiao Jiuyue, counting on his fingers: "This is not right. This should be a good omen for the Third Prince, so why is his life in danger?"
"Your calculations are completely off the mark. Your reputation is about to be ruined." Dong Gui followed and said, "Hua Qing, that life-threatening poison, why don't you give it a try? Maybe you can find an antidote, too."
"I only know how to make poisons, I never make antidotes." Hua Qing shook his head.
Dong Gui was so angry that she vomited blood: "Heart-wrenching pills, don't you have the antidote?"
"That's what the young lady wants!" Hua Qing looked at her as if she was looking at a fool, as if to say: If it weren't for the young lady, she wouldn't bother to make the antidote!
What she wanted to do was to create an antidote for a poison that no one in the world could cure? It wasn't like she had nothing to do after eating.
Dong Gui glared at Hua Qing fiercely, then looked at Xiao Jiuyue: "Miss."
"Hua Qing, come with me." Xiao Jiuyue said without hesitation, "Whether or not an antidote can be made, go and take a look. Who knows, there might be a solution?"
"Okay!" Hua Qing said, and just as he was about to leave, he turned back and reminded her, "Donggui, don't touch the treasures here. I'm researching the truth pills and will give them to Hou Jian to try later!"
Dong Gui glanced at the mess on Hua Qing's table and said, "Put your things away yourself to prevent them from being blown away by the wind. You still blame me!"
"As long as you don't move, the wind can't blow you away." Hua Qing grinned and immediately prepared to leave.
Xiao Jiuyue glanced at her flowery dress and said, "Hua Qing, change into a black nightgown."
Hua Qing lowered her head and changed her clothes obediently.
Xiao Jiuyue also returned to the house and changed into the nightgown she brought with her. She took off the complicated bun on her hair and made it into a high bun, which she finally tied up with a men's hair-tying crown.
"Miss, when you dress like this, you really look like a handsome young man wandering around the world!" Luo Kui praised Xiao Jiuyue after she changed her clothes.
Lian Xin shook her head and said, "No, Miss, even dressed like this, you still look like a lady. With your waist and face, how can you look like those rough men?"
"It seems like it, or it doesn't. Which man can have such a smooth face as the young lady?" Luo Kui serves Xiao Jiuyue every day. Xiao Jiuyue's skin is as delicate and white as a peeled egg!
"Alright, I'm not going to a beauty contest." Xiao Jiuyue stood in front of the bronze mirror, straightened her clothes, and confirmed that it was convenient for her to go. Then she said, "Lianxin, Luokui, I never know when I'll be back, so you don't have to wait for me."
Lianxin and Luokui exchanged a tacit glance. When Xiao Jiuyue left with Huaqing and Donggui, Luokui nudged Lianxin with her elbow and said, "Say, Miss, are you going to take care of the Third Prince? Otherwise, why didn't you ask us to wait for her?"
"Maybe, you want us to rest?" Lianxin was familiar with Xiao Jiuyue. Ever since the incident in the Xiao family, Xiao Jiuyue seemed to be more down-to-earth than the gentle and noble eldest lady before.
"How can we sleep if the young lady doesn't come back?" Luo Kui rolled her eyes. She pulled Lian Xin to sit down and said, "Third Prince is in trouble. I think the young lady must be very worried. I think the Third Prince likes the young lady."
Lianxin glanced at her, her eyes seemed to say: Isn't that something that anyone with a discerning eye can see?
"Miss, do you like the Third Prince?" Luo Kui asked doubtfully.
Lianxin was silent for a while, and Luokui pushed her: "There's no one else here, just the two of us. You're more thoughtful than me, so tell me quickly."
"Probably..." Lian Xin shook her head. She looked at Luo Kui's face full of disbelief. She cleared her throat and said, "Think about it, if you heard that your sweetheart was in trouble, could you remain calm?"
"Miss, you are not too calm either. Aren't you going to visit the Third Prince right away?" Luo Kui retorted.
Lian Xin pursed her lips and said, "Do you think the young lady is panicking?"
"Not really." Luo Kui shook her head and added, "Young lady has always remained calm even when the sky is falling. When we were in Jiutou Village before, those bandits were so fierce! I was so scared that my legs went weak, but Young lady didn't even blink."
“…” Lianxin looked at her innocent appearance and stopped talking immediately.
"Lianxin, come and talk to me, don't look at me like that, there's nothing on my face." Luokui touched his face, there shouldn't be any dirt, right?
…
"Miss, the Third Prince and Qiao Huilan have already moved in at the Qiao family. The Third Prince lives in this courtyard." Dong Gui had been here before and was familiar with the place. Dong Gui said, "The Crown Prince's personal guards are at the door, and inside is Lan Ying, who is with the Third Prince."
"Then, how can we avoid people from getting in?" Xiao Jiuyue asked, staring at the room with candles burning.
