After Qian Youxue woke up, the aches and pains all over her body quickly disappeared. Bu Yu really went to great lengths to help her recover as soon as possible.
Besides giving her acupuncture, she also had Wuya transfer a lot of his internal energy into her. However, she knew that not giving it to him was for the sake of the full moon the following night.
That monster really deserves it!
She shook her head helplessly. After the two maids helped her wash up, she ate something and then instructed Yunhe and Meier to take turns guarding the door, and no one was allowed to come in today.
Even though she had given the instructions, just in case, she still set up a small additional barrier so that even if someone came in, she could get out of the space as soon as possible.
However, she hadn't expected that Bu Yu had already considered everything so thoroughly. Except for those who absolutely needed to enter, no one else was allowed into this courtyard.
First, Ye needed to rest and recuperate properly. Second, he also needed to prepare himself. Third, he didn't want to disturb the princess while she was recuperating.
The courtyard was eerily quiet. Leng Yu and Leng Qing took turns guarding the courtyard, and the atmosphere became quite strange as they didn't see the princess step out even once all day.
At this time of month, the gates of the Prince's Mansion are tightly closed, and Long Bo, who has been away for several days, returns to the mansion early in the morning.
This was also the time when the Prince's Mansion felt the most threatened. This time, in order to make the Prince's Mansion more lively, the Empress had already spread the news that the Prince's poison had flared up at fifteen.
"Sir, something terrible has happened!" Leng Xue hurriedly found Bu Yu, who was busy at work.
"What good could come of this at a time like this?" Bu Yu's lips curled up slightly, his hands continuing their work. He paused and asked, "Has news of the Prince's poisoning flare-up spread?"
"Sir, you are truly a genius. I wonder which damned person released such a message," Leng Xue said through gritted teeth.
Who else could it be but that old hag?
He shook his head helplessly. After fighting for so long, it was time for a result.
He put down the medicinal herbs in his hand and calmly instructed, "Make sure our men are ready. We have a tough battle tonight. Leave the inner courtyard to Wuya and Yunhe, and all of you go and help out."
“Yun and her…” Leng Xue really wanted to say that Yun and her were so powerful that they could be used to defend against foreign enemies.
"No, Yunhe is not only highly skilled in spiritual matters, but also has surprisingly good medical skills. Your princess is not fully recovered yet. If something unexpected happens, at least Yunhe can help her." Judging from the speed at which Yunhe administered acupuncture to the princess yesterday, and her control over the heat when brewing the medicine, he had no choice but to believe what the princess said.
They all knew Yunhe could use poison, but his medical skills surprised him somewhat. While surprised, he also doubted Yunhe's identity. With such a capable person by the princess's side, what kind of expert was the princess's master?
"Go!" Bu Yu waved his hand, and Leng Xue retreated.
As the sun sets and the moon rises, another day passes by in a flurry of activity.
Qian Youxue had a fruitful day, having refined dozens of bottles of pills. Even without telling them, she knew that tonight would be anything but peaceful, given the current predicament of the Prince's mansion.
After dinner, she ordered Yunhe and Meier to rest for a few hours to prepare for the tough battle that night.
What Qian Youxue didn't know was that as soon as it got dark, Xuan Mingye's body began to move strangely. Hearing that the mistress and servant had gone to sleep, he ordered Leng Yu to wait for her to get up before taking the person over.
"What are you doing here?" Qian Youxue was a little surprised to see Leng Yu when she went out.
"Please do not instruct me to wait for Your Highness to rise." Leng Yu respectfully bowed to the princess. If she had previously looked down on this princess, she realized after returning from the forest that the princess was only weak in spiritual power, and in other aspects she was much stronger than any of them.
Leng Qing is right. The fact that this master has such a capable servant as Yunhe means that he must have a particularly strong side. In the future, we should learn from him.
"Oh!" Qian Youxue blinked, naturally sensing Leng Yu's attitude towards her. This was indeed the attitude one would have when someone needed something from her. It has to be said that the people in the Prince's Mansion are truly opportunistic.
In the backyard, Yunhe and Mei'er had already woken up. Knowing that something was definitely going to happen tonight, neither of them could sleep. They only lay in bed for a while before getting up.
Qian Youxue had Leng Yu call over both maids, and then called Leng Mo out from the shadows.
"Leng Mo greets Your Highness, the Princess!" Leng Mo respectfully bowed to the Princess.
"I'm entrusting Sister Mei'er to you tonight. Keep a close eye on her." Qian Youxue glanced at Sister Mei'er. Such a good opportunity for training would be wasted if Mei'er were left in the courtyard.
Mei wanted to argue, but seeing Yunhe give her a wink, she could only obey and walk behind Leng Mo.
"Sister Mei'er, fight if you can, run if you can't. I gave you a lot of good stuff tonight, use it without worry, I have plenty more here." Qian Youxue patted Sister Mei'er's shoulder and threw two bottles to Leng Mo: "The red one is poison, the white one is antidote, these can help you capture a few idiots alive."
"Thank you for the gift, Your Highness!" Leng Mo happily put away the bottle; the things the princess gave him were all good.
A hint of jealousy flashed in Leng Yu's eyes. Why did this boy have it, but she didn't? It must be because he was too good at flattering people that the princess treated him so well.
Qian Youxue saw this but didn't say anything, and walked out of the courtyard first.
For Xuan Mingye's safety, he was moved to a secret chamber in the hills behind the house early in the morning. This place was naturally warm in winter and cool in summer, and with the addition of medicinal herbs brought back from various places, one could feel the warmth as soon as they entered the room.
There's actually such a place inside the Prince's Mansion?
Qian Youxue didn't know this before, but having lived in the Prince's Mansion for so long, apart from her own courtyard and the courtyard of a certain devil, she hadn't been to any other places!
"The smell of blood, did the prince vomit blood?" Yunhe smelled the odor as soon as he entered the door.
Hearing Yunhe's voice, Leng Yu's eyes flashed with worry. Then Qian Youxue spoke up: "It's good that he vomited it out. Don't worry, with Bu Yuhe and this young lady here, your prince won't die."
In the past, Leng Yu would have gone crazy upon hearing such words, but now that she knew the princess's abilities, she respectfully cupped her hands and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Your Highness!"
"Alright, you can go ahead and get busy." Qian Youxue said, leading Yunhe into the inner room.
Upon entering the inner room, the temperature dropped significantly. Both of them felt a chill, and Qian Youxue clearly felt much colder than before. It seemed the poison had mutated considerably this time.
Looking up into the room, there was a stone bed. Xuan Mingye, whose hands and legs were bound by iron chains, was lying peacefully on the bed, seemingly asleep.
Bu Yu sat at a table not far away, holding several silver needles in his hand and sticking them into the doll's body, as if he was pondering something.
