"You old idiot!" Qian Youxue couldn't take it anymore. After cursing, she raised her hand and knocked out Zhou Mama, who was nagging there.
Leng Xue exhaled a breath of stale air. "Your Highness, this is the best solution."
“Granny Zhou…” Shuihua rushed forward to help Granny Zhou, who had fainted on the ground, and glanced at Qian Youxue with hatred in her eyes.
Qian Youxue ignored them and ordered sternly, "Take Granny Zhou away to rest. Uncle Cai, find a way to stall Sai Miaoshou and give me half an hour."
"Yes!" Uncle Cai obediently accepted the order and left.
Qian Youxue half-closed her eyes and took out the Feihua Silver Needles that she hadn't given him. Leng Xue clearly helped Xuan Mingye undress to make it easier for her to insert the needles.
"Everyone else, go out. Leng Qing, Leng Yu, you two keep an eye on Sai Miaoshou. Make sure you look carefully; that guy has a lot of poison on his hands." Qian Youxue glanced at Shui Hua, who was still squatting on the ground, and found the girl increasingly annoying.
"Yes!" Leng Qing and Leng Yu obediently accepted the order and left.
Shuicao was particularly curious about Leng Qing and Leng Yu's attitude. These two women were usually extremely cold, and apart from their master, the only person who could command them was Leng Xue. Now that they were obeying the princess, did that mean it was also their master's will?
"Everyone else, get out and close the door. Leng Mo, you stay at the door and don't let anyone disturb us." Leng Xue gave the order in a stern voice, then paused and looked at Shuicao, ordering, "Keep an eye on Granny Zhou and don't let her go to see Sai Miaoshou."
"Yes!" After accepting the order, Shuicao and Shuihua carried Granny Zhou away from the house.
Qian Youxue tried using her spiritual power in conjunction with the Flying Flower Silver Needles, as this would be more effective. Although the demon was no longer in mortal danger, his spiritual power was severely depleted, and his body would suffer a great impact.
Thinking that he was injured and still acted recklessly, she was furious. When she inserted the needles, she deliberately used too much force, causing Xuan Mingye, who was originally unconscious, to wake up from the pain.
"Master, you're awake." Leng Xue was overjoyed to see his master awake.
Xuan Mingye slightly opened his eyes and felt that someone was inserting needles very quickly. Every time a needle was inserted, he would feel pain. It was obvious that she was taking revenge for him.
ah……
Qian Youxue struck with her hand, causing Xuan Mingye to cry out in pain.
Leng Xue knew his master had exceptional patience; for his master to cry out meant the princess's attack was no ordinary matter. He craned his neck to look and saw several bruises where the needles had been inserted, and couldn't help but shudder.
It seems that women should not be offended easily; their princess is someone they absolutely cannot afford to offend!
"You know it hurts, yet you still go out and cause trouble. If you don't care about your life, fine, but don't make me bear the stigma of being a jinx to my husband." Qian Youxue deliberately used a heavy hand again, inserting two needles into the same acupoint at the same time.
Xuan Mingye clenched his fists tightly, unable to utter a sound from the pain, and glared angrily at Qian Youxue.
"What are you glaring at? It's good that you're awake, Sai Miaoshou is here." After Qian Youxue administered the last needle, she forcefully withdrew all the needles.
Xuan Mingye thought to himself, "This is bad. I just fought with Sai Miaoshou last night. If he sees Sai Miaoshou in his current state, his other identity might be exposed."
"You didn't fight with him last night, did you?" Qian Youxue casually guessed, judging from Xuan Mingye's expression.
Xuan Mingye nodded slightly, not expecting that Sai Miaoshou would be interested in that thing, and still seemed to be going all out.
"Then you're really unlucky!" Qian Youxue put away the silver needles, her mind full of mischief. She blinked and said seriously, "If you continue like this, you'll only increase my workload. So, from now on, I'll charge you for each needle insertion. This time, I'll charge you a thousand taels. Next time, I'll charge you separately depending on the situation."
Well……
Leng Xue stared dumbfounded at his master, wondering how his master was feeling. His own princess was charging such a high consultation fee for treating the prince; it was faster than robbery.
"Don't pretend to be mute, or I'll make you really mute!" Qian Youxue rolled her eyes at the devilish man, clearly annoyed.
Xuan Mingye's face was grim, and his voice carried a hint of anger: "Cold-blooded, get the princess some silver."
"That's more like it. Get up. I just sealed a few acupoints for you. Whether Sai Miaoshou can spot it depends on your luck." Qian Youxue couldn't guarantee anything because they had never formally competed in medical skills.
Xuan Mingye knew that Qian Youxue was no match for a powerful figure like Sai Miaoshou, but he still believed that this woman's medical skills were extraordinary.
Leng Xue quickly brought the silver notes. Upon seeing them, Qian Youxue was immediately in a good mood. The image of Sai Miaoshou flashed through her mind, and she decided to go with the certain devil to meet this person.
In the main hall, Sai Miao nervously sipped his tea. Without the Empress's decree, he wouldn't have dared to step into this place openly. After all, there were experts here who could easily defeat him, and he didn't want to suffer in silence again.
"Please, Lord Sai!" Uncle Cai served the finest tea and pastries as requested by the princess.
He had expected Lord Sai to be angry, but seeing him still smiling made him think that Master Sai was a very easy person to talk to.
Outside the door, new footsteps finally sounded. Xuan Mingye was carried to the gate by servants, with the beautiful Qian Youxue by his side.
This woman?
Sai Miaoshou looked up and first saw Qian Youxue. He noticed her eyes looked familiar and quickly realized that this beautiful woman was the legendary ugly woman. Looking at Qian Youxue and then at himself, he even felt a pang of jealousy.
I heard that the War King is not interested in women, yet he couldn't resist Qian Youxue's charm. It seems I underestimated this young lady of the Qian family. Her ability to play dumb and deceive others is truly remarkable.
"Skilled Master Sai greets the War King and War Queen!" He bowed respectfully.
Um!
Xuan Mingye merely nodded slightly, not even glancing at Sai Miaoshou. Even seated, his imposing aura remained strong.
As expected of the renowned War King, even after suffering defeat and becoming a cripple, he still maintained such composure and humility towards a high-level alchemist like himself. Sai Miaoshou felt a surge of admiration for him. Unfortunately, their paths diverged, and they were destined to be enemies.
Qian Youxue felt extremely uncomfortable when she saw Sai Miaoshou's extremely sharp eyes, as if he wanted to see through both of them at the same time. She spoke up, "I've heard that Lord Sai's medical skills are superb. I would like to trouble Lord Sai to take a look at our prince's leg. If you can cure our prince, the Emperor will surely reward you handsomely."
A hefty reward?
Given the potential for great rewards, Xuanming Chongye surely wouldn't trade the national treasure of Xuanwu for a useless leg, would he?
Although the War King's Mansion currently has a powerful figure in charge, if one day Xuanming Chongye loses faith in the War King and loses his power, that powerful figure will likely leave. Sai Miaoshou thought to herself, glancing at Qian Youxue out of the corner of her eye.
"What? Could it be that Lord Sai is just all talk and no action?" Qian Youxue didn't know what Sai Miaoshou was up to, so she decided to try to provoke him.
