Duan Qingxi said, "Okay, I'm just too lazy to talk so much nonsense with you. Besides, you have this question, and they must have this question too. I just don't want to cause so much trouble. Please explain it to them. If I wanted to harm them, I wouldn't have rescued them. Xu Rong... I hope you believe me."
Xu Rong had a mouth with a complicated expression, and he even felt very uncomfortable.
It's not that he doesn't trust her. To put it bluntly, he is hers now, and he will have no complaints even if she really wants to kill him.
So even if this thing was poisonous, he was willing to drink it. His hesitation just now was just because he was a little doubtful and felt a little lost in his heart, fearing that she would really be like those people before.
But he didn't know how to say these words.
Duan Qingxi actually knew what he was thinking, but there was really no need to continue this topic.
She said, "I'm a doctor. I study poisons and tonics, so I'll often nourish you. When my work is done, I'll send you away. Whether you stay or not, I won't force you. I won't harm you."
Hearing her say this, Xu Rong suddenly became anxious.
Although he was somewhat dissatisfied when he first started following her, he had already been impressed by her talent and everything about her over the years.
Now it’s not a question of whether he is willing to stay with her, but whether she wants to keep him or not, he wants to stay with her.
"Miss, I promise it won't happen again!"
Duan Qingxi smiled and said, "I believe you, and... can we get down to business now?"
Xu Rong quickly asked, "What do you want to say, Miss?"
"I heard that the eldest princess has now come to the capital, and she holds a grudge against me because of Yun Xinling's incident. I hope you can secretly help me collect all the information about the eldest princess and Prince Yun, including their weaknesses and some of their life stories."
Xu Rong was stunned for a moment and asked, "But wouldn't it be faster for the people from the Ninth Prince's Palace to investigate these things?"
"Yes, but I don't completely believe the information gathered by the people in the Ninth Prince's Palace."
Another thing is that she wanted to see what abilities the people behind her had.
Hearing this, Xu Rong nodded and said, "Okay, I'll get started right away."
Duan Qingxi instructed him on many things and asked him to do them one by one before leaving with Qiao Yun and Chan Xue.
As Qiao Yun helped Duan Qingxi down the stairs, she asked, "Miss, are we going back to the Ninth Prince's Mansion now?"
Duan Qingxi said: "Let me think about it..."
When the master and his two servants reached the door, a sedan chair carried by eight people suddenly passed by. The scene made everyone around them step aside and make way for a smooth path.
Duan Qingxi also stopped when he saw this.
I was just looking around casually and didn't want to steal the limelight from the sedan chair, but I didn't expect... the curtain of the sedan chair was suddenly slightly lifted by someone.
A face with delicate makeup appeared behind the curtain of the sedan chair. She looked as beautiful as a girl in her early twenties, but her eyebrows and eyes were weathered. Duan Qingxi could guess that this woman was probably in her thirties or forties, and was either rich or noble.
Most likely... the eldest princess!
The eldest princess seemed to know Duan Qingxi as well, so when she saw her, her eyes narrowed dangerously and she kept looking at her, the murderous intent in her eyes never concealed!
Qiao Yun and Chan Xue, who were standing by, became nervous and stood on either side of Duan Qingxi, as if they were worried that the princess would suddenly order someone to kill Duan Qingxi.
