Mu Chenshuang did not answer Xue Jiajia's question. Instead, she picked up a small hammer and crushed the pills. "Doctor Li, can you smell what ingredients are in these?"
Doctor Li bowed humbly and said, "I will give it a try."
As he spoke, he picked up the shattered pill, smelled it, and frowned, "Illusion Grass."
Xue Jiajia was already uneasy and asked anxiously, "What is this thing again?"
Mu Chenshuang explained, "It's called the Illusion Grass because it can beautify the skin. However, it's a slow-acting poison. Long-term use will make your body extremely dependent on it. Once you stop using it, your skin will deteriorate several times faster and even age. Generally, people who are willing to eat it are older people who are willing to risk everything to preserve their appearance. For a young girl like you to eat it will do you no good. Doctor Li, am I right?"
Doctor Li nodded. "Indeed, the princess is right about one thing. If Miss Xue continues to eat like this at her age, she may not be able to have children in the future."
Xue Jiajia's legs went weak upon hearing this, and her eyes widened in horror. "But... Mu Yazhi didn't tell me that."
"If I told you, would you still dare to eat it?"
Xue Jiajia lowered her eyes and clenched her fingers. Why did she do this?
"You shouldn't take this kind of thing anymore. The medicine that Dr. Li prescribed for you isn't useless, but you need to take it for a long time. However, I do have a way to cure your face now."
Xue Jiajia was immediately startled, staring at Mu Chenshuang in disbelief, "What did you say? You also know medicine?"
Mu Chenshuang promised, "If I can cure the pustules on your face in half an hour, our feud will be wiped clean, how about it?"
Xue Jiajia was skeptical; she had never heard of Mu Chenshuang possessing medical skills. "Then... what if she can't be cured?"
"If you can't cure me, then you can do whatever you want with me."
Looking at Mu Chenshuang's serious expression, Xue Jiajia felt an inexplicable sense of trust and inexplicably wanted to believe her.
"What if you... deny it later?"
Mu Chenshuang smiled and said, "At worst, you can go to the Marquis's mansion and cause a scene."
"I'll give you the time it takes to drink a cup of tea to think it over. If you don't believe me, then I'm leaving."
Xue Jiajia bit her lip, hesitated for a long time, and then said in one breath, "Then... I'll believe you this once."
Mu Chenshuang personally got the medicine from the pharmacy, with Doctor Li following beside her. He was also very curious about what method she had that could guarantee she could cure Miss Xue right now.
After preparing the medicine and grinding it into powder, Mu Chenshuang had Sui Sui release a little spiritual energy into it while grinding and adding water. Since it was only for treating this minor injury, not much spiritual energy was needed.
After grinding it into a paste, apply it to Xue Jiajia's face, then wrap it with a bandage and wait for half an hour.
Half an hour later.
When the gauze was removed, Xue Jiajia was surprised, and Dr. Li, who was standing next to her, was equally shocked and speechless.
The pustules on her face not only disappeared, but there was no trace of them left.
"This...this is amazing! I wonder what kind of divine magic the princess used?" Doctor Li asked in astonishment.
"It's not convenient to disclose that."
Xue Jiajia touched her face, speechless with surprise.
Mu Chenshuang instructed from the side, "I will write another prescription later to expel the toxins from your body. Don't take any more pills of unknown origin in the future."
When Xue Jiajia came to her senses, she felt not the slightest disgust at the scolding tone, but rather an indescribable warmth and dependence.
For a moment, he didn't know how to look up at her or what to say. He said awkwardly, "I didn't expect you to know medicine, and such a good one at that. Well then... let's call it even."
That statement lacks conviction.
Mu Chenshuang could easily tell that Xue Jiajia was just a spoiled young lady who was actually quite naive and easily manipulated.
Mu Chenshuang gently tapped her head, smiled, and said, "I understand."
Xue Jiajia was stunned speechless by Mu Chenshuang's beautiful smile. It was both alluring and heartwarming, making one want to get closer to her and win another smile from her.
Xue Jiajia didn't come to her senses until Mu Chenshuang turned around to write the prescription.
I wrote out the prescription and got several doses of medicine.
"Alright, remember to take your medicine on time when you get back. I should go now."
Seeing that she was about to leave, Xue Jiajia quickly grabbed her hand. Mu Chenshuang turned around and her gaze fell on her wrist.
Xue Jiajia stiffly withdrew her hand and asked, "Are you going to the Prince of Cheng's Mansion?"
Mu Chenshuang nodded in agreement.
"I also received an invitation. It's just some princesses and noble ladies enjoying tea, appreciating flowers, and composing poems. It's so boring. And don't you have any self-awareness about your current reputation? If you go, you'll be isolated and drowned in people's spittle."
Xue Jiajia was interested in martial arts but had no interest in writing poetry or appreciating flowers. As a result, she had nothing in common with princesses and noblewomen. She was even ridiculed for not having the demeanor of a well-bred lady and being just a rough and unruly woman.
When Xue Jiajia found out, her temper flared up, and she beat up the daughters of officials who had mocked her, giving them a severe beating.
And Mu Yazhi's instigation and sowing of discord played a part in all of this.
Therefore, Xue Jiajia's reputation was also very bad. When she attended banquets and the like, no one wanted to talk to her. She knew very well what it was like to be isolated, so she never attended these boring gatherings of women again.
