Compared to Tao Yaojun's slightly reserved demeanor, which was probably to match her outfit today, Liang Xuanjing remained as outgoing and familiar as ever.
"What a coincidence, we meet again! Hey, this beautiful lady, I've never seen her before..."
As Liang Xuanjing spoke, he warmly raised his hand to greet Li Chang'an and Feng Beichuan, then gave Yan Qianhe a polite and well-behaved smile, and bowed slightly to her.
His every gesture exudes the elegance of a refined gentleman.
As two people who were very familiar with this guy's behavior, Li Chang'an and Feng Beichuan were immediately speechless and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
This was Yan Qianhe's first time meeting Liang Xuanjing, and she was immediately taken aback by his words, "beautiful sister." She was overjoyed and smiled broadly.
"Oh my, I really don't know whose young master this is. Not only is he handsome, but he also has such a sweet tongue!"
As Yan Qianhe spoke, she looked at Liang Xuanjing with her captivating eyes, her tone softening to the point of melting one's bones.
Liang Xuanjing was naturally good at taking advantage of opportunities, so he immediately analyzed the other person's reaction and concluded that this was someone he could have a deep conversation with. He then started calling her "beautiful sister" repeatedly, seemingly about to launch into a long and eloquent speech.
"Young Master Liang, this must be your first time visiting the Regent's Palace. As the host, I should offer you a cup of tea."
Just then, Feng Beichuan suddenly interrupted Liang Xuanjing's tirade of nonsense.
As he spoke, he reached out and poured himself a cup of tea, then gave the other person a shallow, emotionless smile that was extremely perfunctory.
Li Chang'an watched Feng Beichuan's actions silently from the side, feeling an unprecedented sense of satisfaction. It seemed to be the first time she had ever genuinely agreed with what this person had done.
Taking advantage of this break, Li Chang'an briefly explained the situation of Zhuque to Tao Yaojun, and then proposed to borrow his hot spring for a while.
Tao Yaojun knew about Zhuque's poisoning, so when he heard that the antidote Yan Qianhe had developed could not completely remove the poison, he guessed what kind of help Li Chang'an wanted from him.
Originally, Tao Yaojun thought that since everyone was friends, it was only natural to help each other, especially since this was a matter of life and death.
But when he heard Li Chang'an say he wanted to borrow his hot spring, his expression immediately changed.
"You want to use hot springs to cleanse the remaining toxins? How can that be allowed!"
At this moment, Tao Yaojun's eyes, which were usually languid and slightly lowered, widened considerably.
His face showed a hint of anxiety and fear, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
Upon hearing this, Li Chang'an frowned slightly, then turned to look at Yan Qianhe, and wondered to himself if the hot spring did not have such magical effects.
Unfortunately, although Li Chang'an was unaware of the inside story, Yao Qianhe saw Tao Yaojun very clearly, and then she said indifferently, "Why not?"
Seeing the other party's confident demeanor, Tao Yaojun's expression immediately tightened. She was about to open her mouth to explain something when she looked up and saw Li Chang'an's somewhat suspicious gaze directed at her.
Tao Yaojun immediately felt as if she had a mouthful of blood in her throat, which she could neither spit out nor swallow.
He could only look at Yan Qianhe, the vicious woman who had betrayed him, with a face full of resentment, but unfortunately, she only gave him a malicious smile in return.
So, will it work or not?
Li Chang'an directly posed her question. At this moment, her tone didn't sound like she was asking someone a question; rather, it sounded like she was impatiently asking the other person a question in return.
Faced with these two aggressive women, Tao Yaojun couldn't help but feel miserable inside.
It wasn't that he was stingy and unwilling to let Zhuque use his hot spring pool; it was mainly because, as a person who was extremely particular and clean, how could he casually give away such a personal item to someone else?
Moreover, if a poisoned person were to be placed in that hot spring to cleanse themselves, once the toxins were expelled through their pores, the water and medicine in that pool would likely become unusable.
"Perhaps... let's think of another way... Oh right, isn't there still the Qiankun Pill from Yiyang Mountain Man?"
Tao Yaojun was quite cunning. He neither refused nor agreed to the matter directly. Instead, he changed the subject and directed the conversation to Yi Yangshanren, who was traveling in some unknown fairy mountain forest.
Looking at the other person's darting eyes, a hint of displeasure appeared on Li Chang'an's face.
She's being so slow and indecisive, it's driving her crazy!
“The Hermit of Yiyang Mountain has been traveling for over a month, and there is simply no time to call him back. We can all wait, but Zhuque alone cannot.”
Li Chang'an spoke in a deep voice, and his words left Tao Yaojun speechless.
Feng Beichuan knew that Li Chang'an was eager to save people, and he himself wanted Zhuque to recover as soon as possible. So he immediately said, "Taoyao, I'll borrow your pond for a while. I'll just spend a lot of money to build you another one later."
Upon hearing this, Tao Yaojun was slightly moved, but then he thought of all the effort he had put into creating that hot spring back then. How could money solve this problem?
Seeing the man's hesitant appearance, even Cangyun couldn't help but get agitated and began to criticize him.
Suddenly, Tao Yaojun was seen by everyone as a heartless and ungrateful person who refused to help someone in distress.
Yan Qianhe, in particular, is not only sharp-tongued, but also seems to be racking her brains to get Tao Yaojun to agree to the matter, as her antidote is only a half-finished product.
In this way, as long as Suzaku is eventually saved, he can consider his mission accomplished.
Otherwise, wouldn't my half-baked antidote, which I painstakingly researched, be in an even more awkward position than an illegitimate child?
Liang Xuanjing was unusually quiet this time, partly because he didn't know what had happened and couldn't get a word in edgewise, and partly because everyone else was too talkative. He was too busy enjoying the commotion to join in the banter.
Especially Yan Qianhe.
Unexpectedly, this beautiful woman, who looks as lovely as a flower, speaks with barbs in every word; her skill in cursing is truly astonishing.
