Chapter 322 I’m Not Sick
Dugu Yu tilted his head in dissatisfaction and bit Qin Qingyao's ear with a ferocious look on his face, but he didn't use any strength at all. Instead, the hot air blew into Qin Qingyao's ear, making it itchy and making Qin Qingyao laugh.
“What is square dancing?”
"When your legs and feet are healed, I'll teach you how to dance."
"I'll be fine tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll teach you tomorrow."
The next morning, Qin Qingyao had just finished breakfast when a servant came hurriedly to report that someone from the Qin family had sent to ask her to go back and tell her something.
Qin Qingyao immediately thought that it must be related to her visit to Ling Jingxuan yesterday. Her father must be very angry as he called her back in such a hurry.
After saying hello to Dugu Yu, Qin Qingyao hurried back with Bai Zhi.
When they arrived at the Qin family, the atmosphere was quite solemn. When Minister Qin saw Qin Qingyao, he glared at her fiercely, as if to say, "Although I called you back to talk, I don't want to pay any attention to you at all."
"Dad, what's wrong with you? Who is so powerful that he can make you so angry?"
Qin Yuelu almost burst out laughing. She was worthy of being his sister. She didn't forget to praise herself at this time.
Minister Qin slammed the table, successfully attracting everyone's attention, "Look at what you've done!"
"What's wrong with me? Calm down first and talk it over nicely!"
"Why did you go to see Prince Duan without telling anyone yesterday?"
"His Royal Highness Prince Duan wanted to see me, and my eldest brother sent someone to inform him, so I went."
"If he asks you to go, then go. What's your relationship with him?"
"Brother and sister."
"I'm talking to Prince Duan!" Minister Qin was really about to be mad to death. How could he have such a daughter who was always looking for trouble!
"Oh, Dad, he's already in jail and can't cause any big trouble, so I'll go and see what he can do."
"You know he's in jail, yet you still approach him? Do you know what it means to avoid suspicion? Are you not satisfied until you've drawn fire upon yourself?"
Qin Qingyao lowered his head and admitted his mistake sincerely, "I was wrong."
Minister Qin had prepared a lot of sermons, but they were stuck in his throat. The more he looked at Qin Qingyao, the angrier he became.
Seeing his angry look, Qin Yuelu quickly tried to smooth things over, "Dad, my little sister isn't an official, so it's normal for her to not know the dangers of officialdom and the tense situation in the court. You can just explain the interests to her. Why are you so angry?"
"She doesn't know how treacherous the officialdom is? I think she knows it very well. Since you insist on meddling in other people's business, can't you even do the most basic thing of avoiding public attention? You just came out of the clan residence and you swaggered to the Qi family. I think you are simply mentally ill!"
Qin Qingyao shook his head and said seriously, "No, I'm not mentally ill. I'm acting uprightly and having a clear conscience!"
Minister Qin was so angry at Qin Qingyao that he wanted to punch her on the head a few times to see if she would wake up.
Qin Qingyao continued, "The reason I went to the clan residence yesterday was actually because Princess Duan wanted to see me. She missed her parents at home and asked me to take some words back, saying that she was unfilial and sorry to her parents, but she had to accompany Prince Duan."
"I went to the Qi family and said a few words out of consideration for her filial piety. What's the big deal? Why should I hide from others?"
Minister Qin's face was filled with an expression that said, "I don't believe you." "Are you sure you were there to deliver a message for Princess Duan yesterday?"
Qin Qingyao asked, "What do you think I was doing there? Or did you hear something? I'm just a woman, and I don't hold any official position. No one would think I was going to conspire with Qi Daxueshi or something, right?"
"Besides, when I went to Qi's house yesterday, the Grand Secretary wasn't at home!"
Qin Yuelu said, "Look, Dad, I told you my little sister wouldn't be so ignorant. Besides, if Prince Duan really had something to plot against, he wouldn't ask a girl like my sister for help. Are you kidding me?"
Qin Qingyao pouted at Qin Yuelu and said, "Although you are speaking for me, please don't belittle me like that, okay?"
Back when I saved the Crown Prince from disaster, I was the one who held my own against a thousand troops! Damn, just thinking about it makes me angry!
"That's right, Dad. Don't you know how valuable your own daughter is? If Prince Duan expects me to accomplish his ambitions and help him leave the clan residence, he's simply courting death!"
Actually, she wasn't lying. Prince Duan did ask her for help, and she did point him to a dead end!
Minister Qin looked at Qin Qingyao, then at Qin Yuelu, and thought to himself that this was also true. However, he had heard some gossip today, and he felt nervous, fearing that this unruly little daughter would cause some big trouble again.
The brother and sister chatted about some random things and comforted Minister Qin. Then Qin Qingyao used the excuse that Dugu Yu was seriously injured and needed care to successfully escape.
After leaving the Qin family, she really breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the tension in the court was far beyond her imagination.
Prince Duan had been imprisoned for so long, but those who were either wary of him or supported him never let down their guard. Seeing her actions yesterday, everyone became nervous, wondering what she had passed on to both sides!
This is a good thing. At first, she was worried that the noise wasn't loud enough and the prince could bear it. Now, only one day has passed, and her father is so nervous that he wants to teach her a lesson. Let's see how the prince can keep his composure!
But before that, I just hope Qi Zhongyuan can help and get my eldest brother out of the clan house as soon as possible. As for my eldest brother, he actually prefers to investigate cases in the Dali Temple.
Although it is unlikely that they will be transferred back, the Ministry of Clan Affairs is really not a good place to work for those who have no connection with the royal family!
"Oh, that was a close call! If Dad knew what I had suggested to Prince Duan, he would be so scared! Just thinking about how I got so upset and worried about other people's affairs, when will this kind of life end?"
Bai Zhi, "Princess, you are afraid too. I thought you were fearless and everything was under control."
"How is that possible? I'm afraid of so many things."
After Qin Qingyao finished speaking, she suddenly noticed that Bai Zhi had stopped and was looking at a small alley on the street with a look of shock, sadness and disbelief on her face.
"Baizhi, what's wrong with you?"
"My apologies, Princess. I have something to do and must leave for a while. Please go back first!"
"Hey where are you going!"
After Bai Zhi finished speaking, she ran towards the alley. Qin Qingyao saw that she was in a hurry, not knowing who she saw, but worried that she would be bullied, so she quickly followed.
The alley was very narrow, and two people could not even walk side by side. After Qin Qingyao entered, she saw Bai Zhi had already turned the corner. After all, she was skilled in martial arts, and she must have been faster than Qin Qingyao.
"Hey, Baizhi, wait a minute..."
Qin Qingyao shouted when she turned a corner, and then someone suddenly jumped out from nowhere and covered her mouth and nose. At the same time, something was thrown into her mouth and melted immediately.
The man covered her mouth and did not release her mouth until he was sure that she had swallowed what she had just swallowed. He then controlled her by putting her hands behind her back.
"Who are you? Tell me your name if you dare! How dare you hold my princess hostage? I think you are ready to die!"
After Qin Qingyao finished speaking, the people behind her ignored her. Instead, a noblewoman with a charming figure and gorgeous clothes appeared in their sight. "Oh, Princess Wu Ling is really arrogant. I'm so scared."
"Lin Xiafeng, what do you want to do? In broad daylight, you want to kill me and silence me!"
Lin Xiafeng covered her mouth and smiled, "Princess, you really misunderstood me. I am a weak woman. I can't even bear to step on an ant to death. How could I do something like fighting and killing? That's too cruel!"
I really believed your lies.
"Lin Xiafeng, do you still have any shame?"
"What? Princess, you're not satisfied with my gentleness and kindness. You insist on me killing you with all my might?"
Qin Qingyao, "..."
"If I want to kill you, I'll do it to you. Don't act so coy in front of me. It's disgusting!"
Lin Xiafeng walked over to Qin Qingyao and whispered softly in her ear, "I think you must be so bored lately that you don't know what to do, so you're running around like a mouse. So I'm going to help you find something to do."
"When you get back, kill Dugu Yu for me. You can use any method you want, no need to hesitate!"
"Four days later, regardless of whether you succeed in killing him or not, you must come to the Prince's Mansion to see me. Remember~"
After Lin Xiafeng finished speaking, he signaled the person behind Qin Qingyao to let go. The person seemed very worried and asked, "Master, are you sure this is feasible?"
Lin Xiafeng chuckled, "Don't worry, I believe that the only person in this world who can resist the Five Puppet Powder is Dugu Yu. There is nothing wrong with my medicine, and the lotus fragrance is the best proof!"
When Lin Xiafeng got the Ghost Saint's notes, the first thing he took a fancy to and learned to refine was the 'Five Puppet Powder'.
I thought it would come in handy and I could get everything I wanted without any effort. However, who knew that a big problem would arise the first time I used it, and I was almost hurt by Dugu Yu.
When she came back, she was terrified and thought there was something wrong with her medicine or the Ghost Saint's prescription, so she didn't dare to use it again.
Things that are made with great effort must be put to use, so she used it to appease the child and gave it to Mo Dacheng to play with.
Mo Dacheng didn't know that the medicine had lost its effect. He trusted Lin Xiafeng so much, so he naturally trusted everything she gave him 100%, so he fed it to He Xiang.
He Xiang was poisoned by the Wugui Powder and stayed at home for five days. After waking up, her mind was blank. Apart from the fact that Mo Dacheng came to see her, she remembered nothing and knew nothing.
Not knowing the properties of Wukui Powder, she came to Lin Xiafeng in a panic, hoping that Lin Xiafeng could save her. However, Lin Xiafeng unexpectedly realized that there was nothing wrong with her medicine, and the problem was with Dugu Yu.
