"Alright, that's all for later. Can I see these two treasures you got?" Qian Youxue brought the topic back. The most important thing now was to get the White Tiger Blood to completely cure her younger brother's poison and put an end to her grandmother's worries.
Xuan Mingye didn't want to tell her that this woman was more afraid of medicinal herbs than silver. The Xuanwu blood was alright, but there were only a few drops of Baihu blood, and not a single drop could be wasted. It was best not to let this woman see it before Bu Yu returned.
Seeing that Xuan Mingye remained silent, Qian Youxue leaned closer and asked, "What's wrong? Is it inconvenient? Or are you worried that I'll swallow it?"
"It's good that you know what kind of person you are." Xuan Mingye said this and called out to the outside. The servants who were waiting outside came into the house and lifted the sedan chair.
Damn it, I won't give it to you!
Qian Youxue cursed him in her heart several times.
...
Yawn, yawn!
Poor Bu Yu is ambushing the divine beast in the mountains. He has been squatting in this place for three days in a row. In addition to being bitten by insects, the more important thing is that danger may appear in front of him at any time.
They finally waited for the beast to come out of the cave, but it sneezed a few times and ran back. All their efforts over the past few days were in vain.
"Young Master, if it really doesn't work, we can come again next time. Anyway, we have most of the necessary medicinal herbs." Wuya had long wanted to leave this awful place. Living in the Prince's mansion would be so much better, with delicacies every day and the occasional drink with Lengxue.
Bu Yu glared at Wuya, waving his finger in the air: "It seems you think life in the Prince's Mansion is comfortable enough, and you want to go back and have a couple of drinks with Leng Xue, right?"
“Young Master, you have completely misunderstood Wuya. Although the Princess Consort is quite capable, she also has quite a temper. If the Princess Consort were to throw a tantrum at the Prince, what do you say…” Wuya had honed his tongue over the years by traveling with the Young Master, and having followed him for so long, he was very clear about the Young Master’s thoughts.
Bu Yu frowned slightly, inwardly agreeing with Wuya's words. Qian Youxue's temper was unpredictable, yet Ye was completely under her thumb.
In addition, Sai Miaoshou is still in Wucheng, and he is worried that the guy might attack Ye, so it would be better to go back as soon as possible.
So the two put away the good stuff they had used to capture the spirit beasts and left the dense forest as quickly as possible before nightfall.
After leaving the forest, they rode their horses at breakneck speed back to Xuanwu City that very night.
...
Outside the Prince's mansion, a pretty woman appeared at the entrance. After informing the Prince through a servant, she gracefully stepped into the place she had longed for.
"This way, Miss Tian'er!" Uncle Cai personally led the way for Song Tian'er, naturally because of her relationship with Bu Yu; otherwise, she wouldn't have received such treatment.
Song Tian'er gave a graceful slight bow and said sweetly, "Then I'll have to trouble Uncle Cai."
Uncle Cai nodded and led Song Tian'er towards the prince's residence. As they passed the princess's courtyard, Song Tian'er instinctively stopped and asked curiously, "Uncle Cai, is anyone living in this courtyard?"
Song Tian'er was no stranger to the Prince's residence; she used to frequently accompany the young master to the residence to treat the prince. If the young master hadn't discovered her feelings for the prince, she would have come in with him when he moved into the residence this time.
She only has herself to blame for losing her composure; she almost ruined her own escape route.
"Sweetie, it's been a long time." Granny Zhou happened to be passing by and happily went to greet Song Tian'er.
"Then I'll leave Miss Tian'er in your care, Granny Zhou." Uncle Cai handed Song Tian'er over to Granny Zhou and went about his own business.
She liked Song Tian'er very much, not only because she was beautiful, but also because Song Tian'er was naturally gifted and had excellent medical skills. Previously, she had thought that keeping this girl by the prince's side would be a good thing for him. Now that the unruly Qian Youxue had become the princess, it would probably be difficult to keep this girl.
"It's been a while, why does Granny Zhou look so pale?" Song Tian'er noticed something was wrong as soon as she walked up to Granny Zhou. Upon closer inspection, she realized that Granny Zhou must have been sleeping poorly and was too anxious, which was why she had aged so much.
Granny Zhou touched her face, thinking about how Shuihua had said that she had a lot more gray hair when she looked in the mirror and combed her hair this morning, and she sighed in frustration.
Shuihua, who was following beside her, looked at Granny Zhou and whispered to Song Tian'er, "Sister Tian'er, you don't know, now that a new princess has come to the manor, the manor is always in chaos. A few days ago, the prince got angry and ordered the princess to rebuild the collapsed wall."
Building a wall?
Is this kind of physically demanding work something men shouldn't be doing?
The fact that the prince actually made that ugly girl Qian Youxue do it shows how much he dislikes her.
Thinking of this, Song Tian'er was in a great mood, but she concealed her feelings and showed a hint of worry on her face, saying, "Could it be that the new princess is making things difficult for Granny Zhou?"
"It's more than just difficult. This morning, I had a few words with Granny Zhou and even knocked her unconscious." Shuihua said, as if she didn't want the world to be in trouble. Then, she held Granny Zhou's hand with heartache and said, "Granny Zhou is such a good person. For the Princess to do this, she simply doesn't respect the Prince."
Song Tian'er was always quick-witted, and she could tell from Shui Hua's words that she was trying to stir up trouble. However, she was not the kind of woman the prince liked, and even if she were, she wouldn't be foolish enough to take advantage of his favor. So she deliberately spoke up for Qian Youxue: "The princess has just entered the palace, and her disrespect towards Granny Zhou may not have been intentional."
Yes, it wasn't intentional, it was deliberate!
Shuihua was furious to hear Song Tian'er speaking up for Qian Youxue, and secretly glanced at Granny Zhou.
Granny Zhou realized she shouldn't talk too much to an outsider, so she quickly changed the subject: "Look at how long I'm rambling on. You're here to see the Prince, aren't you? Come on, Granny will take you to see the Prince."
Um!
Song Tian'er nodded obediently and followed Granny Zhou forward. When she walked out of the courtyard gate, she deliberately looked back at the entrance of the other courtyard.
Yawn, yawn!
Qian Youxue sneezed several times. After returning from Xuan Mingye's place, she had been thinking about how to trick the White Tiger Blood out of that certain demon.
"Miss, are you feeling a bit cold?" Yunhe brought over a cup of hot tea, and Mei'er put down her needlework and came over as well.
Qian Youxue took the drink and looked up at the two girls who were concerned about her, smiling as she said, "I'm not that weak, Sister Mei'er. Have you practiced the mental cultivation technique that Yunhe taught you?"
"I've practiced, I've practiced, and the results are much better than what I used before. With the pills you gave me, I feel like I'm about to break through these past few days." Mei'er nodded happily. She never thought that after so many years of accumulation, she would still be able to break through. Now she practices diligently before going to bed.
"That's good. Our future opponents will become stronger and stronger. You must stay by my side, or you'll suffer greatly. Yunhe, besides spiritual energy cultivation, please teach Sister Mei'er some simple poison and medical techniques." Qian Youxue wanted to improve both of their skills before leaving the palace. However, if Mei'er was unwilling to come along, she wouldn't force her.
