Di Jingling had a vague urge to reach out and crush her skull.
But he endured it.
In this world, the only person who could still be alive who dared to call him a dog, a thief, a villain, and a two-dimensional character is probably Xiao Tang!
If this woman weren't still somewhat useful, he really wouldn't want to spare her life.
He stretched out his arm and forcefully pulled Xiao Tang into his embrace, his cold, deep voice filled with sinister intent.
"Although the princess's medical skills are not particularly outstanding, they are sufficient to cure the mother's headache."
Xiao Tang was trapped in his chest. At first, she tried to struggle, but he forcefully locked her waist.
The man's large hand gripped her side and suddenly pinched her.
He didn't use much force, but a tingling sensation came from his waist.
This caused Xiao Tang's body to gradually stiffen.
[Damn it, is this guy trying to take advantage of me? Hey, hey, do you think you can just sculpt my tiny waist like that?]
[Grass is just a plant, why aren't you letting go of my paws?]
As soon as she finished venting her frustration, the fingers pinching her waist tightened even more.
She hadn't used much force, and her pressure points had been acupunctured, leaving her feeling numb and tingly all over.
Now that the villain is really putting in the effort, it's both numb and painful!
[This is so refreshing!]
Then, a cold, emotionless voice descended from above: "If the Princess performs well, she will be richly rewarded upon returning."
Is he testing her?
[Hmph, a reward? If it's not at least eighty or one hundred thousand taels of gold, what kind of reward is that!]
After Xiao Tang finished humming softly, the Empress Dowager in the distance showed a hint of suspicion, "Xiao Tang really knows medicine?"
Xiao Rourou remained kneeling, looking delicate, frail, and pitiful.
Before Xiao Tang could answer, Di Yanhen spoke up: "Grandmother, you overestimate her."
His words were full of sarcasm.
"A country bumpkin brought back from the countryside, how could he know any medical skills? He probably just learned some folk remedies from those quacks in the countryside to deceive people!"
Di Yanhen dislikes Xiao Tang.
When Xiao Tang brought him back to the capital from the countryside, the first thing she saw about him was a silly, infatuated smile.
Just thinking about the first time he met Xiao Tang made him want to vomit.
Xiao Rourou seized the opportunity and looked pitifully at Xiao Tang, saying, "Yes, sister, you must not be reckless. It would be inappropriate to jeopardize the Empress Dowager's health."
The couple really work together seamlessly, singing in unison.
[Damn, we should really build a stage for these two, one to play the bad cop and the other the good cop, it would be perfect!]
[The male lead in the book is actually quite an eyesore.]
[What's that saying? Oh, a whore and a dog, a match made in heaven!]
[Sorry, big villain, I should apologize to you. The real scoundrel is this scoundrel male lead.]
Xiao Tang gave a cold laugh, looking at the two of them with utter mockery.
She looked up at Di Jingling, her eyes brimming with autumn water, her eyebrows like distant mountains, her gentle charm so captivating it was heartbreaking: "Your Highness, my husband, then I have no choice but to make a fool of myself. If I can't cure it, you'll protect me, won't you?"
That voice was alluring to the bone and tender to the soul.
However, the regent holding her remained unmoved.
The man's thin lips twitched slightly, and he gave a soft "Mmm": "Of course."
Before Xiao Tang could say anything, the man released her.
This clearly shows that treatment is necessary.
She walked towards the Empress Dowager, and seeing the Empress Dowager's wary expression, she put on a professional doctor's smile.
"Your Majesty, don't be afraid, let me take your pulse first."
Perhaps Xiao Tang's smile was too infectious, or perhaps the Empress Dowager's headache was too bad, causing her to relax her guard.
The Empress Dowager handed her wrist to Xiao Tang.
Others were unaware of her abilities; they only saw that Xiao Tang's pulse diagnosis was quite professional.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Tang took the silver needle from the eunuch beside her.
"I will first administer acupuncture to the Empress Dowager, and then I will write a prescription for her. Your headache symptoms will be relieved in three days."
She was only talking about relieving the Empress Dowager's headache symptoms.
The Empress Dowager's health had long been critically ill; eliminating one of her symptoms would not solve the problem.
Besides, although she couldn't see through the villain's thoughts, she did know what the male lead was thinking.
Di Yanhen will take the Empress Dowager's life sooner or later.
The main villain is openly going head-to-head with the male lead.
Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager's face lit up with delight: "Is this really true?"
Xiao Rourou was also stunned. "Sister, you can't say such things. If you say something like that, it's deception, and you could be beheaded!"
