"Doctor He is finally not going to play dumb anymore?" Xuanyuan Qi looked like he was enjoying a good show.
He Xun was not panicked at all: "I am a doctor, it is not illegal to buy some herbal medicine, right?"
"What did you do with the Wuyun Vine you bought?" Yuan Zhengqing asked in a businesslike manner.
"It's used to make drugs." He Xun asked, "Sir, making drugs shouldn't be illegal, right?"
Yuan Zhengqing had interrogated countless prisoners before, and he didn't take smart alecks like He Xun seriously at all. "What kind of poison did you make? Where did the poison go?"
"The drug production failed and was thrown away directly."
"It seems that you won't cry until you see the coffin. Take him away!" Yuan Zhengqing has plenty of ways to deal with such self-righteous and optimistic people.
Finally, the miraculous doctor He Xun was taken away in public at the height of his fame. This incident shocked the capital and instantly became a hot topic of discussion. The victim of the case, Ling Xiang, also became a hotly discussed figure in the capital.
After this incident, Ling Xiang was no longer in a hurry to get back the housekeeper power. She quietly returned to the yard and planned to continue practicing.
"Aren't you going to thank me properly?" Xuanyuan Qi's voice sounded behind him.
Ling Xiang turned around, thought for a moment, and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for speaking up to block He Xun for me today."
"What else?"
"Anything else?" Ling Xiang looked puzzled.
"He Xun bought the Five Elements Vine, which is the main ingredient in making 'Faceless'. With this information, and Yuan Zhengqing's ability to handle the case, the person who poisoned you will be brought to justice in a few days."
"Oh." Ling Xiang didn't react.
The calmer Ling Xiang was, the more Xuanyuan Qi wanted her face to show more expression:
"He Xun's case-handling skills are very strong, but his ability to track down information is a little weaker. Especially underground information, it's not easy for him to find it."
Ling Xiang stared at his performance without saying anything.
Xuanyuan Qi was quite patient. "What a coincidence! I was out yesterday when I happened to hear that He Xun had bought the Five Elements Vine at the Baijiang underground auction house. After checking, it turned out to be true!"
So the news was able to reach Yuan Zhengqing so quickly, was it because Xuanyuan Qi helped?
"Your Highness is truly amazing!" Ling Xiang flattered him perfunctorily, hoping that the devil would finish his words and leave quickly.
"If we talk about powerful people, it has to be the person who leaked the news, right?" Xuanyuan Qi stared at Ling Xiang and slowly approached.
Ling Xiang's heart skipped a beat.
Wasn't she the one who released the news...
Could it be that this guy found out and came to cause trouble for her?
Ling Xiang remained calm: "It seems that even God can't stand it anymore and wants to make the bad guys get the punishment they deserve."
"If God had eyes, there wouldn't be so much injustice in this world. I have always believed that man can conquer nature." Xuanyuan Qi approached Ling Xiang, and the distance between their noses was only one centimeter.
"The person who released the news probably thought so too, right?"
Their eyes met, and she could even smell his breath and feel the carbon dioxide he exhaled...
Ling Xiang was speechless. Couldn't this guy see the rash on her face? Didn't he find it creepy?
She took a step back, putting some distance between herself and Xuanyuan Qi. "Men and women shouldn't touch each other. Please stay away from me, Your Highness. Don't let my face pollute your eyes."
"Your words are much harder than He Xun's." Xuanyuan Qi sighed, looking helpless.
Ling Xiang: ...
She felt that he had the toughest skin.
Xuanyuan Qi counted with his fingers: "You owe me another ten thousand taels, which adds up to one, two, three..."
"I don't owe it." Ling Xiang immediately distanced herself from the issue so as not to be taken advantage of.
Xuanyuan Qi said generously: "It doesn't matter if you don't have money. I'll owe you the money first and ask you for it later."
Ling Xiang: ...
Not only is this guy shameless, but his ears are also not working well...
"Forty thousand taels!" Xuanyuan Qi finally figured it out, and smiled as he took out a human skin mask and handed it to her.
"Wearing a hat or veil is always too conspicuous. Wear this instead next time."
Xuanyuan Qi meant to remind her not to use the hat and veil next time she did something bad, but to use a human skin mask instead.
Ling Xiang deliberately misinterpreted the situation and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. However, I don't care whether this face is beautiful or ugly. I don't need to live as someone else."
Xuanyuan Qi sighed and placed the human skin mask on the stone table beside him. "Take it. Don't worry, this is a free gift. I don't want your money."
"Your Highness, please take it back. We really don't need it." Ling Xiang refused.
"Miss Ling, remember, men don't like women to say no to them." Xuanyuan Qi continued to dig out things and took out a jade bottle.
"This is Jade Skin Cream. Once you've detoxified, apply it regularly and it will remove the scars on your face. I'm in a good mood today, so I'll give it to you for free."
Jade Skin Cream was something that all the concubines in the palace were fighting for, and Xuanyuan Qi just gave it to her so casually?
Ling Xiang didn't want to owe Xuanyuan Qi a favor, so she refused and said, "This item is too valuable, Your Highness, please take it back."
Xuanyuan Qi followed his own way and raised his eyebrows: "I don't want to face an ugly monster every day in the future."
Ling Xiang:?
No, this guy is delusional, right? Who wants to face him every day?
Xuanyuan Qi left with satisfaction, leaving Ling Xiang confused and the two things he insisted on giving her.
Under Ling Xiang's meticulous treatment, Xiaoyu was able to get out of bed and move around. When she woke up, she saw Ling Xiang standing blankly in the yard and asked in confusion, "Third Miss, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing." Ling Xiang acted as if nothing had happened and put the things on the stone table into the space to prevent Xiaoyu from seeing them.
"Third Miss, you are really different from before."
Ling Xiang paused and looked at Xiaoyu: "What's different?"
"Everything's different now," Xiaoyu said seriously. "Before, Third Miss would just swallow her anger, but now you dare to stand up to the bad guys. Before, Third Miss always kept her head down, but now she's really formidable!"
Ling Xiang walked over and patted Xiaoyu on the head: "If we keep silent, will others let us go and stop bullying us?"
"Won't."
"So why do you have to swallow your anger? Why do you have to bow your head?" Ling Xiang held Xiaoyu's face and said solemnly,
"Xiaoyu, remember, being weak and yielding will only make the bad guys more rampant. Only when you are strong will no one dare to bully you!"
Xiaoyu felt intimidated: "I will listen to the Third Miss!"
"Then let's take the first step now and get the dinner we deserve."
Mr. Ling's family is very shrewd. They try every possible way to suppress Ling Xiang, and they don't want outsiders to say that they are not honest.
Therefore, in everything that outsiders could not see, such as food and shelter, they tried their best to suppress Ling Xiang and gave her the worst.
In the past, all that was delivered to Ling Xiang's yard was vegetable porridge.
Xiaoyu had a high fever before and couldn't eat meat, so she didn't mind.
But now, Xiaoyu is well again, and they are still growing. No way you can withhold their food!
