The carriage drove into the side gate of the city lord's mansion.
The city lord's mansion covers a huge area.
The carriage only stopped after passing through six gates.
"Please come in."
Scarface led Gingerbread and his group to the main hall.
After entering.
A tall man sat on the golden throne.
The man was dressed in a long black robe, his angular face exuding a cold and stern air, and he sat there with an imposing presence.
"Medicine Mist, long time no see. How's Wuyai doing lately?"
Yuan Ao stepped down from the throne.
"As usual, I'm still busy handling sect affairs every day," Yao Wu replied with a smile.
Yuan Ao went through the motions of praising Xie Xinglan and Jiang Bingbing, but a look of worry flashed across his handsome face. "I invited you here today because my beloved concubine has been bedridden for a long time, and even the alchemists in the association can't figure out what's wrong."
In fact, the most skilled alchemist invited by the Alchemist Association was an eighth-rank alchemist.
Yuan Ao called Yao Wu over with a try-it-out mentality.
If all else fails, we'll have to ask Liu Zhufeng for help.
"Please trouble you to have someone lead the way," Yao Wu said matter-of-factly.
"I'll take you there myself."
Yuan Ao said this and strode away from the main hall.
Gingerbread and Burning Blade said, "This city lord really dotes on that concubine."
She finished speaking and then burned herself without responding.
"Xiao Jue?"
After calling out twice.
Fen Jue absentmindedly hummed in agreement.
Hmm? Gingerbread followed behind the medicinal mist, sensing that something was wrong with Burning Deity.
The concubine's bedroom was located behind the main hall.
As soon as Yuan Ao stepped off the carriage, a maid rushed out in a panic, "Lord City Lord, Madam Mei's face is also..."
"Also what?" Yuan Ao roared.
The maid spoke haltingly in her haste, and Yuan Ao pushed her aside and strode into the bedchamber.
They all went into the sleeping quarters.
A woman's weak voice came from behind the purple gauze curtain.
"Yuan Lang, what brings you here?"
Yuan Ao sat on the edge of the bed. "Xue Ning, I've invited the peak master of the Sword Sect's Spirit Medicine Peak to take a look at you, be good..."
"Waaah, Yuanlang, you go out first. Don't look at my face, it's terrifying."
"I love you no matter what you're like," Yuan Ao said affectionately.
The woman's voice was soft and sweet, melodious and pleasant to listen to.
But these two are being way too mushy.
"Be good, let the alchemist take a look at you." Yuan Ao coaxed softly, and the woman on the bed slowly lifted her veil.
Gingerbread saw that the other person's lower face was covered in hair.
It looks like fox fur.
"When did the symptoms start, and what did you eat that day?" Yao Wu asked while taking the pulse.
Yuan Ao embraced his concubine's soft waist and said with heartache, "Five days ago, first hair grew on my forearms, then on my calves and feet, and then what you see here."
"Xue Ning and I had dinner together that day."
The woman nestled in Yuan Ao's arms looked up pitifully and said, "Yuan Lang, have you forgotten? That day I ate the peach blossom cake that Sister Yun sent me."
“Yes, but when we had someone check the pastries, there was nothing wrong with them,” Yuan Ao said.
"Naturally, it can't be detected."
After taking her pulse, Yao Wu said bluntly, "Your beloved concubine is not poisoned, but cursed."
"What?"
Mei Xuening trembled slightly, her soft, white hands clutching Yuan Ao, "How terrifying! Who wants to harm me, sob sob..."
Afraid of frightening his beloved woman, Yuan Ao suppressed his anger and asked, "So the direction of our investigation was wrong. Alchemist, please tell me in detail what kind of curse Xue Ning has been afflicted with?"
The bedchamber was quiet for a very short time.
A calm and composed voice rang out from behind the medicinal mist.
"The Illusion Fox Curse".
Mei Xuening said in a trembling voice, "Could it be... Sister Yun? How could it be..."
"Summon Yunyi!"
Yuan Ao frowned, raised his hand, and swept his palm towards the teapot on the table.
The teapot suddenly shattered into pieces.
Gingerbread had been secretly observing Mrs. May.
Don't blame her for thinking too much.
As a level 10 scholar of the Legend of Zhen Huan.
Madam Mei's methods of framing and slander were too superficial. What she was more curious about was whether this favored concubine was somewhat beautiful, but her allure was merely superficial.
She couldn't even become the top courtesan at the Thousand Beauties Pavilion.
How could such a woman have captivated Yuan Ao, a city lord at the half-step Void Refinement Realm, to such a state?
Not long after.
A woman with flowing robes and a graceful figure walked in. She wore a white gauze dress, her black hair was like clouds, and her eyes were like water. Just standing there, she couldn't help but attract people's longing.
Her charm is innate.
Gingerbread stared in amazement, completely bewildered as to why Yuan Ao would neglect such a stunning woman and instead, as if blind, fall for this pretentious and vulgar woman.
"What brings you here, my husband?" Yunyi bowed.
Yuan Ao held the trembling Mei Xuening tightly, looking at Yun Yi with disgust, "Did you cast the Illusion Fox Curse on Xuening?"
Where did this come from?
Yun Yi was slightly taken aback.
"Lord, please be aware that A-Yi has never done such a thing."
"Yuan Lang, it doesn't matter if I don't admit it. Now I know it's the Illusion Fox Curse. Let the alchemist heal me." Mei Xue Ning, disregarding the presence of outsiders, wrapped her arms around Yuan Ao's neck and acted coquettishly.
"Don't be angry with your sister, Xue Ning is scared..."
After saying that, he rubbed the top of his head against Yuan Ao's chin.
Gingerbread: ...The aroma of tea fills the air.
Li Dapu hid behind Jiang Bingbing, trying not to laugh.
Gingerbread turned around and glared at him, "Don't make such a fuss, or Lord Yuan will kill you."
Li Dapu made a shushing gesture.
Yun Yi lowered her eyes slightly and said sadly, "City Lord, I did not cast the Illusion Fox Curse."
"Nonsense!" Yuan Ao walked over and slammed his palm on the wooden table, causing cracks to appear on the surface.
