Long Yue did not tell Li Qingmu about the assassination of the Daliang envoy, so even if Li Qingmu suspected so action from the other side, he wouldn’t guess that the Liang Country envoy was going to assassinate the Emperor.
He could only rely on his instincts to respond to what would happen next.
At this mont, Long Yue was at Yangxin Residence, visiting her master.
That shaless woman, the Lady of the Southern Country, was trying to seduce the old master again!
"Mr. Duanmu, your dical skills are truly impressive. After taking the dicine you prescribed last ti, my illness improved significantly, and my chest doesn’t hurt as much now!"
Xue Mingzhu leaned against a wicker chair, her eyes filled with a gleaming autumn radiance, one hand covering her chest, breathless, which made her waves of beauty...
This would surely make any ordinary man tremble, but not Duanmu Nan. He sat calmly inside, looking at her indifferently, "It’s good that Lady Xue is better. Did you have other matters for coming here?"
"Yes, sothing very important... Mr. Duanmu, I’ve had headaches these past few days. I’m not sure what’s causing it. Could you take a look?"
With that, she leaned her head over.
Duanmu Nan: "Please extend your hand, Madam."
"Uh? Not the forehead? Could you check it..."
"Slap!"
A small white jade hand descended from the air, giving Xue Mingzhu a hard slap.
Xue Mingzhu was closing her eyes, leaning her cheek towards Duanmu Nan. Who would’ve thought soone would dare strike her?
She was caught off guard, completely stunned.
She suddenly opened her eyes, furious, looking at the opposite side, where a young woman, graceful and extraordinarily beautiful, was smiling at her.
Xue Mingzhu’s body began to tremble with anger, pointing at the young woman, she shrieked, "It’s you! You again! You wretch! I’ll strangle you!"
Xue Mingzhu lunged angrily, but Long Yue deftly dodged, causing Xue Mingzhu to grab at nothing.
Long Yue did not stop there, she directly hid behind Duanmu Nan, clinging to his shoulder coquettishly, "Ah, Master, this woman is so fierce? Boo hoo, Master, save ! I was just swatting a mosquito for her, but she’d like to strangle , I’m so innocent~"
Long Yue’s appearance was rather shaless, but Duanmu Nan found it imnsely amusing. He smiled silently, gently patting the small hand on his shoulder, "Rest assured, with here, no one will bully you."
"Mm-mm!"
Long Yue’s face was full of obedience.
Xue Mingzhu was so angry she could hardly contain herself, pointing at Long Yue, she scolded, "You shaless wretch, putting on an act! Ti and again disgracing , I will certainly teach you a lesson!"
Long Yue tilted her head, appearing confused, "Who are you? Have we t before? How have I bullied you?"
Long Yue extended her smooth, jade-like hand, waving it in front of her, "Look, my hand is red! You owe for this! Your face is too tough!"
"You..."
Xue Mingzhu was almost exploding in rage, was that an insinuation that she was thick-skinned and shaless?
This brazen woman, she wanted desperately to destroy her, making her neither able to live nor die!
Xue Mingzhu, in her excessive anger, her facial expression nearly twisted, pulling the skin on her face.
Long Yue suddenly saw a trace of red appearing on her forehead, and that redness was expanding, like a piece of skin being torn away little by little.
She watched in horror, utterly shocked!
Xue Mingzhu was very sensitive, noticing her unusual expression, beca vigilant, sensing carefully, she felt sothing was gradually tearing on her forehead.
Realizing what was happening, she hurriedly turned away, "You wretch, today, on Mr. Duanmu’s account, I won’t hold it against you, but you better not fall into my hands, or else, hmph!"
That was her final way to save face, after saying so, Xue Mingzhu left in a huff.
Long Yue watched her departing figure for a long ti, until she disappeared completely, then turned to Duanmu Nan, sowhat excitedly, "Master, just now on her face, her forehead, did you see it?"
"I saw it!"
Duanmu Nan appeared very calm.
"What was that? Why did it look like soone was tearing her skin?"
A fine crack appeared on her forehead, and the crack was widening, what was that if not tearing?
Long Yue really doubted if she had seen wrong, but since Master saw it too, it couldn’t be wrong!
Duanmu Nan picked up a teacup, pouring himself a cup of tea, then one for Long Yue, "The skin of the living dead!"
"The... skin of the living dead?"
Long Yue was baffled, realizing her knowledge was still very shallow.
In her past life, she really led a muddleheaded life!
Duanmu Nan said, "A type of skin peeled from a living person, placed on oneself, usually done when one’s own skin is completely destroyed."
Long Yue seed to understand a bit, "Last ti that Miss Pei, her burns were only burns and didn’t destroy her skin, so it could be cured with dicine?"
Duanmu Nan looked at Long Yue with satisfaction, "Correct."
"Then... if that’s true, what on earth is this Lady of the Southern Country?"
"Sothing evil!"
Yun Jin erged from inside, his face cold.
This woman repeatedly ca here to seduce his senior brother, using such despicable thods, it was truly disgusting.
Even Yun Jin, known for his good temperant, chose words that were unbecoming.
But Long Yue felt the term suited her perfectly.
"Master, I need to leave now."
This new discovery must be told to the Pri Minister and Qi Jingyu.
She didn’t need to confirm with Master again, because she believed in his judgnt, it couldn’t be wrong! After all, they both saw it with their own eyes as master and disciple!
Duanmu Nan raised his hand, "Yue’er, hold on!"
He gestured with his eyes towards Yun Jin, Yun Jin went inside, returning with a wooden box in his hand.
"Take this!"
The wooden box was only a few inches in size, appearing very exquisite, with the hollow and patterns on it crafted with excellent artistry, Long Yue really liked it.
"Master, what is this?"
"Baicao Pill! It can detoxify a hundred poisons, especially effective against strange toxins."
Long Yue thought of the Nanyang Shixin Fruit Tree she asked about last ti, feeling extrely grateful, "Master made this especially for ? Thank you, Master!"
Duanmu Nan only smiled faintly, "It’s nothing. Also, this dicine can be taken in advance, one pill can keep all poisons at bay for twelve hours, or be taken afterward, but the effect is weaker, requiring two pills."
"Alright, I’ve noted it!"
Long Yue happily put away the dicine box, bid farewell to her master, but as she was leaving the Yangxin Residence gate, she turned back, "Mistress, you can’t keep letting that vile woman seduce Master, next ti you see her, just shut her out!"
"Alright, Mistress will be careful next ti!"
"Okay, then I’m leaving!"
Long Yue left, Yun Jin watched her departing figure, suddenly sighed, "This girl is ruthless to outsiders, but extrely good to her own, afraid she might be deceived by those around her."
Yun Jin said this absentmindedly, but Duanmu Nan slightly lowered his eyes, silently thinking, "Yue’er, as your master... I will definitely not deceive you..."
