Song Yue, you deserve to die!
...
Feeling the need to be remembered, Song Yue personally picked the herbs, checked the quantity repeatedly, and handed them to Yun Dong.
A broad figure enveloped her.
Looking up, she was immediately met with Xuan Yuan Ye's eyes, which were filled with rage.
Song Yue's eyes turned slightly cold.
His eyes were filled with hatred; it seemed that Xu Lingqing had successfully achieved her goal of inviting him over.
"Crown Princess," Xuan Yuan Ye asked with a tense expression, "Do you know Master Kong Ji?"
Song Yue nodded: "I naturally know the renowned master of Hanguang Temple, but unfortunately I've never had the chance to meet him. Why are you suddenly bringing this up?"
"I wonder what the Crown Princess went to Hanguang Temple a few months ago?" The aggressive attitude made Song Yue frown and become even more displeased.
She pursed her lips and sighed, "The Crown Prince was poisoned. Someone reminded me that there might be a master at Han Guang Temple who could save my husband's life. That's why I risked going there myself."
This explanation surprised Xuanyuan Ye somewhat.
Before Song Yue could speak, Xuan Yuanming appeared behind her without her noticing. He curled his lip and said, "I'm afraid some people said something they shouldn't have, which affected Third Brother."
Upon seeing Xuan Yuanming, Xuan Yuanye frowned: "What are you doing here?"
Xuan Yuanming gestured with his chin. Not only him, but also Xuan Yuanche was there. Xuan Yuanche walked towards Xuan Yuanye. Along the way, they passed many people, who all showed grateful smiles to the three Xuan brothers.
"I admire the Crown Princess's upright character," Xuan Yuanche explained. An hour earlier, Song Yue, in the name of the Crown Princess, had personally explained to the people that most of these herbs came from Japan. The people knelt on the ground and shouted words of gratitude to Japan in unison.
This made the brothers Xuan Yuanche and Xuan Yuanming think even more highly of Song Yue.
Xuanyuan Ye frowned.
"If the Eighth Princess Consort said anything to you, don't take it to heart. She's been traumatized, and I don't care. I promised the Eighth Prince that as long as the Eighth Princess Consort behaves herself, I won't do anything to her," Song Yue said with a smile.
"Isn't the Crown Princess curious about what the Eighth Prince's wife said?"
Song Yue raised an eyebrow, completely unconcerned: "Let's put aside our personal grudges for now. We can discuss it again after I've prepared the medicine."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Yuan Ye felt embarrassed and his face turned red, making him appear even more aggressive.
Xuan Yuanming pulled Xuan Yuanye aside, rummaged in his robes, and pulled out a small notebook, handing it to Xuan Yuanye: "Third brother, it's not too late to talk after you've read this."
Xuanyuan Ye turned to a page with some skepticism.
...
The storybook ended up in Zhao Zhiyan's hands.
He reached out and opened it.
The eight large characters "Impersonating a Life-Saving Woman" are prominently displayed, and it records that a peasant girl was taken away by a woman when she was seven years old, and was taught many skills.
One of these methods involves approaching others to obtain information and then impersonating them.
He stammered and spoke unclearly.
Zhao Zhiyan frowned deeply.
The next page shows how she manipulates a man's heart, feigning poverty and playing the victim to gain his sympathy by highlighting the difference in their social status. This clever tactic of luring him away from his predicament gives her ample time to completely capture his heart.
The more I look at it, the more alarmed I become.
The last page: "Put yourself in a desperate situation and you will survive."
To gain the trust of others and frame someone else, they would paint pictures on their backs, and even write annotations next to the pictures, in all sorts of styles.
Burning, killing, looting, and humiliation—it happened all of these.
Especially erotic paintings serve as evidence, which will surely arouse a man's pity and rage towards his opponent.
Finally, a note below adds that although this move is risky, the chances of winning are extremely high.
Snap!
Zhao Zhiyan, her heart pounding, slammed the storybook shut: "Where did this come from?"
"Your Highness, it is said among the common people that I learned about it by chance from a teahouse."
"Go and find this Mingniang for me!"
Mingniang is the madam in the storybooks who teaches girls how to protect themselves and steal men's hearts. According to the description in the storybooks, she is proficient in everything, including music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and medicine.
He wanted to see who Mingniang was.
"Your Highness, there is one more thing. Today, the Princess Consort ordered Mo Xiang to invite the Third Prince of Japan to come and treat your illness. During the visit, Mo Xiang was kicked out of the house for at least half an hour," the servant said.
Zhao Zhiyan's eyelids twitched, and he suddenly stared at the storybook, the words "life-saving grace" lingering in his mind.
The grace of saving my life...
In order to give Xu Lingqing a proper status, he wrote a letter to the eldest prince of Japan and sent him to Japan. In just a few years, Xu Lingqing thrived in Japan and had close relationships with several princes.
Coincidentally, everyone has a debt of gratitude to someone who has saved their life.
He suddenly stood up; "Since the princess is unwell, I will go and see her."
