"Master, someone's sitting by the door." Yunhe pointed to the doorway with a sly grin.
Qian Youxue had originally planned to finish the task and be done with it, but seeing Yun He's sly smile, she suddenly changed her mind.
Someone only told her to fix the wall, but didn't say whether it was in the morning or at night!
With the power of elixirs, she could make the devil work. At worst, she would work at night. Anyway, she didn't go to bed that early at night. Afraid of being troubled by Sai Miaoshou, she wouldn't go out for the time being.
So, Granny Zhou sat at the door all day. As the sun was about to set, the princess's door still hadn't opened. She was so angry that her eyes were blazing, and she really wanted to go in and tear the person to pieces.
Waterweed was surprised by the princess's stubbornness; it seemed she intended to stand her ground against Granny Zhou. Clearly, the princess had crossed Granny Zhou's line, and things were about to get difficult for everyone.
"Go, break down the door!" Granny Zhou shouted, unable to bear it any longer.
The waterweed was in a terrible predicament. Not daring to disobey Granny Zhou's wishes, she gritted her teeth and went forward to try and break down the door.
Creak!
The door opened, and Yunhe stretched and came out. Opening her eyes, she saw Shuicao standing in front of her and feigned surprise: "Shuicao, what brings you here?"
Even the good-tempered Shucao felt like cursing. She and Granny Zhou had been calling at the door all day, their mouths were dry, how could they not have heard them inside?
"I'm sorry, Miss had nightmares all night last night. Mei'er and I stayed with her. She needs to rest during the day, so we naturally have to keep her company outside." Yunhe explained calmly, then looked at Zhou Mama, whose face was flushed with anger, and gave a slight bow: "Greetings, Zhou Mama!"
Good my ass!
Granny Zhou swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue. She was a woman from the palace and couldn't stoop to their level.
"There's so much noise outside...how can you sleep?" Shuicao asked weakly. The servants who were passing by had looked over several times. How could they not hear it?
Yunhe yawned, and his lazy voice rang out: "Our young lady knew that it would definitely be noisy during the day, so she set up an array early in the morning, so we can't hear thunder outside."
Formation?
That good-for-nothing can understand formations?
Granny Zhou didn't believe Yunhe's words. In her mind, Qian Youxue was already labeled as useless. Although the other servants said that the princess had become more beautiful, she couldn't be sure until she saw her in person. After all, she had witnessed the power of elixirs before, and perhaps she had only temporarily become beautiful after taking some.
"Is the Princess Consort awake now?" She walked up to Yunhe.
"I'm up, I'm up, but our young lady is in a bad mood and doesn't plan to see any guests. However, don't worry, Granny, our young lady has instructed that the walls of the Prince's Mansion will be repaired." Yunhe knew that Granny Zhou was going to cause trouble, so she simply shut her up before she could even speak.
"Finished? How did you finish it? It's already dark. She wants to see how this woman managed to fix the wall in this pitch-black sky."
Thinking this, Granny Zhou glanced at the half-open door and only saw Qian Youxue's back. There's plenty of time; we'll see.
Finally, Granny Zhou left unwillingly, with Shuicao trotting after her. Having suffered a day of humiliation, Shuicao also became cautious.
After watching Granny Zhou walk away, Yunhe went in and closed the door. Then, the three of them, mistress and servant, cheered and clapped their hands in celebration. Qian Youxue had achieved her goal of tormenting them and instructed Yunhe to quickly get things done to prevent some devil from finding fault with her.
"Don't worry, Miss, with this we won't have to worry about not having anyone to do the work." Yunhe, holding the bottle of pills, smugly slipped out of the room.
Qian Youxue stretched and yawned. Having slept all day, she felt it was time to get some things done. However, with Mei'er there, she couldn't easily enter her spatial dimension. So, she made an excuse that she was worried Yunhe wouldn't be able to handle everything alone and asked Mei'er to come along and help, thus sending her away.
However, some people, oblivious to the danger, thought this was a good opportunity to deal with Qian Youxue.
After watching the two maids leave the room, Shuihua winced in pain. Although the medicine from the Prince's manor was good, whip wounds didn't heal so easily. She remembered all of this very clearly, so she was determined to make that bitch Qian Youxue experience the same pain she had gone through.
Poison, huh!
She also has it, and it's a very ruthless kind.
She walked behind the window, picked up the bamboo tube she had prepared, blew a puff of smoke inside, and waited with a cold smile to see Qian Youxue faint before going in.
Qian Youxue's nose is more sensitive than most people's, and with the wind blowing at night, she could smell the fragrance of the perfumes Shuihua used.
With such mediocre skills, you dare to poison me? If you're looking for death, no one can stop you!
She feigned discomfort, rubbing her forehead, and swayed before falling to the ground. As she fell, her back to the water plants, she used her telekinesis to conjure a handful of powder, which she secretly smeared on her face. Jealousy was the perfect catalyst; she was confident Shuihua would fall for it.
As expected, the first thing Shui Hua noticed after entering was Qian Youxue's face, which had become as beautiful as a fairy. Looking at this face, her jealousy soared, and a murderous aura rose in her eyes. Her sharp nails landed on Qian Youxue's face.
"If I let you die like this in the Prince's mansion, the master will definitely be suspicious. Besides, I can't let you die too easily. There's plenty of time in the future, hmph!" As she spoke, she took out a porcelain bottle from her body and dripped the liquid inside onto her beautiful face. A triumphant smile appeared on her lips.
Clang! Clang!
The wind rattled the windows, snapping her out of her daze. She jumped out the window and quickly left, rushing back to her room.
Qian Youxue remained unhurried, making sure the person was completely gone before slowly sitting up. With a wave of her hand, a small bowl of liquid landed in her palm. She used a handkerchief dampened with water to wipe away the liquid and the poison she had used on her face. In a short while, her face was clean. She then opened the window and poured out the water. After setting up a protective barrier around herself, she felt safe enough to enter the spiritual space.
Having not been inside for several days, the fresh air inside made her feel invigorated. Turning her head, she glanced at the Snow Spirit Spring emitting white steam. Instead of rushing in to bathe, she used her martial arts skills to dash towards the cave.
Having been thoroughly thrashed by Sai Miaoshou last time, she told herself she had to become stronger as soon as possible, otherwise she would be humiliated again the next time they met. Besides, the royal palace wouldn't be her constant protection; she had to learn to protect herself when facing powerful enemies. So, she came to the Flaming Mountain Cave, immersing herself in the scalding mud as before.
Having learned from her previous experience, she knew how to adjust her breathing in such situations, and as she faced the increasingly scorching heat around her, her heart gradually calmed down.
