“Haha, didn’t I specially go buy, knowing that you like them?” That person said.
“Don’t know what kind of person is the one planting these grapes, only selling this little every year.
The cravings are killing me!” Bai Ning Yuan had the grape skin spat out into the water below the
pavilion and then bit into another grape, “What did you call me here for today? Just say it, seeing on
behalf of these grapes, I perhaps will agree.”
“I heard you developed another kind of poison called re and ice, don’t know if you can give me a
little?” That person said.
“Fire and ice?” Bai Ning Yuan thought for a moment. Then, from his breast pocket he took out a
small paper pouch and threw it to the other party, “Previously, I gave a little to someone else. Now,
there’s only this bit left!”
The man opened the paper pouch and saw the mere ngertip sized pile of ne dust inside, “Just this
“Che—–this bit? With just this bit, it’s more than enough to have all the people of your Four Sea
Manor entirely poisoned to death! Seventh Master Luo, don’t underestimate my poison. That ending
isn’t just empty words.” Bai Ning Yuan said with a vague smile.
“No way, how could I dare underestimate the poison king’s poison?” Seventh Master Luo saw Bai
Ning Yuan get angry and hurriedly said with an apologetic smile.
Bai Ning Yuan had the last two grapes nished o and regretfully said, “Sigh, gone again.”
“If brother Ning Yuan likes these grapes, why not go to a place where grapes are planted to eat your
ll?” Seventh Master Luo said.
“Hasn’t the season for grapes already passed right now? Right now, this is probably the last batch.
Sigh, boring.” Without grapes to eat, Bai Ning Yuan’s mood instantly soured. He stretched his hand
out of the pavilion and slit a drop of blood into the pond below. Very soon, the koi sh in the pond
Seeing Bai Ning Yuan’s action, Seventh Master Luo’s his mouth twitched, but didn’t say anything
either, and instead had the topic diverted to something he was interested in.
“I heard, in the north right now, there’s still grapes.”
“Really?” Bai Ning Yuan instantly became excited.
“I heard, in the outskirts of the capital, there’s a fruit orchard, and inside grew a large patch of
grapes. However, right now, it should also be nearing the end of the season. If brother Ning Yuan
rushes over right now, perhaps you can still make it.” Seventh Master Luo said.
(T/N: Well looks like this poison king is gonna be enslave—-I mean a free laborer soon.)
“There’s actually such a place! Hahah, then I’ll be going rst!” With that said, Bai Ning Yuan’s gure
ashed and disappeared from the pavilion.
Seventh Master Luo came to the window side where Bai Ning Yuan was just sitting, looked to the
pond full of dead sh, then looked again to the poison in his own hand, and coldly smiled.
Inside the government inn of the capital city.
Du Xiao Li had Lu Jun Qi pricked full of needles, forcing large amounts of the toxins into her hands,
and then used a dagger to have her ve ngertips cut open. The black colored blood thus owed
out along her ngertips, dripping into the basin below.
In the past, she also used a similar method to force the poison out of Han Ming Yi. However,
because this poison was more potent than the one Han Ming Yi was poisoned with that time, even if
this much was forced out, Lu Jun Qi still remained unconscious.
Following the toxic blood’s discharge, the crimson and purple colors on Lu Jun Qi’s body also slowly
faded away, but the dark purple color on her lips didn’t show any signs of fading. At this, Du Xiao Li
didn’t panic either. Once enough toxic blood was discharged, she slowly had the needles on her
body slowly removed, then inserted a few more needles on Lu Jun Qi’s body. Lu Jun Qi’s tightly
creased brows relaxed a little.
“Put on clothes for your princess.” After Du Xiao Li had the all needles retrieved, she turned to Yue
Yue Yin had been completely stupeed by Du Xiao Li’s skills. Hearing her words, she quickly went
forward to dress Lu Jun Qi. After Lu Jun Qi was dressed, Du Xiao Li let her called in the people
guarding outside, while she herself sat down on the chair to the side to rest.
Hearing that Du Xiao Li had already nished, Han Ming Ze rushed in, with a few people following
behind him. Du Xiao Li glanced over. Of the imperial physicians, there were only Niu Jing and
Imperial Physician Hu. Those old wangyes and marquises were also gone, presumably having
returned already. However, her own old man was still present.
“Didn’t I tell you not to tire yourself out this much?” Han Ming Yi came to Du Xiao Li’s side, and
reached his hand out, massaging her temples.
“This re and ice poison is much stronger than the poison in your body years ago. Thus, when
applying the needles, I poured in some inner energy. That’s why I’m feeling tired. I’ll be ne after
resting for a while.” Du Xiao Li brought his hands down. Right now, Han Ming Ze and them were all
present. Letting him massage her, this was a bit inappropriate.
The changes on Lu Jun Qi’s body greatly shocked everyone that entered. What her body looked like
previously, they’d all seen. Never thought that with Du Xiao Li’s help, it would improve this much!
Imperial Physician Hu hurriedly went forward to take Lu Jun Qi’s pulse, and then looked up in
surprise. He got up and cupped his hand towards Han Ming Ze, “Your Majesty, this Miss Du’s
medical skills are indeed impressive. Right now, the third princess’s pulse, although still very weak, it
has already stabilized. The poison in the body has also reduced by more than a half, and the
remaining poison inside has also been suppressed. Surely, it’ll be no problem to hold out for ten
some days. Miss Du’s medical skills this humble ocial truly admires!
When Han Ming Ze heard Imperial Physician Hu’s words, he heavily sighed in relief inside. “That’s
good. In the next few days, you just stay here. If there’s anything she needs, just coordinate with her
“This humble ocial understands.”
Han Ming Hong, who was behind Han Ming Ze, also had his attention placed on Du Xiao Li as soon
as he entered, seeing the interaction between her and Han Ming Yi. And upon hearing Imperial
Physician Hu’s words, a sheet of ice ashed across his eyes, and his two hands also clenched into
“Prime Minister Du, this daughter of yours, the shock she gives people every time is always this big,
letting one have to digest for quiet a while.” Seeing Lu Jun Qi’s situation stabilized, Han Ming Ze’s
mood improved quite a bit and began joking with Du Yun Han.
“This humble ocial was also quite shocked.” Du Yun Han just spoke the truth. This daughter of his
really has given him too many surprises!
“Du Xiao Li.” Han Ming Ze called out.
“This subject is here.” Du Xiao Li got up and replied.
“Right now, this emperor will assign you as the female imperial physician of the Imperial Physician’s
Court. Give your all in treating the third princess.” Han Ming Ze said.
“This subject accepts the decree.” Du Xiao Li curtsied.
“Imperial Physician Du, now, you can’t address yourself as this subject anymore. You have to say
this ocial.” To the side, Eunuch Shan reminded.
“This humble ocial accepts the decree!” Du Xiao Li curtsied towards Han Ming Ze and then
gratefully smiled at Eunuch Shan.
Han Ming Ze smiled and said, “Alright, leaving this place to the three of you. You must have the third
princess cured. Any medicinal ingredients you need, just come to the palace to get!”
“This humble ocial accepts the decree.” Du Xiao Li, Niu Jing, and Imperial Physician Hu replied in
“Ming Yi, let’s go back, have the things you investigated today reported.”
“You all come along too.” With that said, Han Ming Ze turned and left.
Han Ming Yi and Du Yun Han prepared to follow after, but Han Ming Hong still stood in his original
spot, staring at Du Xiao Li. His eyes lled with regret. This girl that was emitting condence, this girl
that could sing and dance, and also understood medical skills, was once his ancee, yet was missed
by him. Just exactly for what reason blinded his eyes?
At this very moment, in his eyes and heart was completely lled with Du Xiao Li’s shadow. Du Ke Xin
was virtually shoved into an unknown corner.
Du Xiao Li knew Han Ming Hong was staring at her the whole time. A trace of disgust ashed across
her eyes. She directly went to the bedside to pretend to examine Lu Jun Qi’s body, leaving for him
“Ren Wang, please.” Du Yun Han understood his daughter, knowing that she certainly must be
unhappy. He came to Han Ming Hong’s side and made a gesture for him to go ahead.
Han Ming Hong looked to Du Yun Han, then turned and left the room.
