Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage Chapter 869 - 868: She Looked Up, Only to See a Scene That P

Holding the list in her hands, Long Xinghe felt a heavy weight on her heart.

A tingling sensation seed to crawl over her scalp.

The dozen or so items, though not considered high-tech by any ans, lacked the aid of instrunts and equipnt in this era, and each one had to be handcrafted.

Such a task seed enough to kill a person!

After ten days and nights, sleeping only two hours each day... perhaps, it would indeed be possible to complete the work.

That wretched girl, her calculations clicked with precision, shrewd indeed!

However...

Long Xinghe lowered her gaze, looking at the bottle of dicine in her hands.

Chu Qianli said she carried remnants of poison left by the dicine Man? Okay, that could be counted as an act of kindness from that wretched girl.

Though she felt nothing wrong with her body, if Chu Qianli, as a master of dicine, as a Divine Doctor, said she was poisoned, then she was.

Take so dicine, rid the body of poison, and all would be well.

Long Xinghe tucked away the dicine and, even if she resented the list, she carefully preserved it nonetheless.

Just as she was about to return, she saw Tie Xin carrying sothing, passing through the courtyard.

A frown ford between Long Xinghe’s brows as she quickly moved to et him, "Tie Xin, has the Prince returned?"

"Yes, the Prince is busy in the study, and I am about to deliver his dicine."

"Have you tested it for poison?" she inquired.

Tie Xin appeared sowhat taken aback, but replied truthfully, "The dicine was personally prepared by the lady’s attendant Ni Momo, so it should..."

"In recent days, the atmosphere in the Imperial City has been amiss, and last night I heard that the Emperor..."

Before finishing her sentence, Long Xinghe stopped, but Tie Xin naturally understood.

In this era of widespread fear, it was wise to be cautious.

Tie Xin set the tray down on a stone table nearby, hurriedly retrieving a silver needle for poison testing.

The needle remained unchanged, and he looked at Long Xinghe with a smile, "Miss Long..."

"Better you call Granny Jiang," she interrupted. Currently, she was assuming the identity of Granny Jiang.

Tie Xin pondered for a mont, knowing the identity of Long Xinghe in the Imperial City – if known – could indeed bring her much trouble.

It could also cause trouble for the Prince.

Therefore, Granny Jiang... "Alright, Granny Jiang, there is no issue with the ginseng tea, I will bring it to the Prince right away."

"Hold on," Long Xinghe approached and suddenly said, "I haven’t seen Wuya for several days, let deliver the ginseng tea."

Tie Xin was slightly surprised.

In truth, it was not that Long Xinghe hadn’t seen the Prince for a long ti, but rather, she had deliberately avoided seeing him during this period.

Tie Xin actually understood: a young woman, her face marred, not wanting to et with the Prince, afraid he might see her ugly side – he could empathize with that sentint.

But the Prince genuinely did not mind, only Long Xinghe did not believe it.

Instead, their interactions over these past days had grown increasingly strange.

And more distant.

Appreciating her willingness to see the Prince today, Tie Xin was pleased, promptly picking up the tray and handing it to her.

"Then I’ll trouble Granny Jiang... Long... to deliver it."

Long Xinghe took the tray from him, "Go about your business, I’ll deliver this."

Without any suspicion, Tie Xin hastily said, "Alright."

And turned to leave.

Long Xinghe held the tray, heading towards Feng Wuya’s study.

Only after Tie Xin had gone so distance did she withdraw the silver needle Chu Qianli had given her, dipping it into the bowl of ginseng soup to test it.

The needle, sure enough, changed color!

Chu Qianli truly was formidable; Tie Xin’s needle had shown no issues when he tested it!

Yet, this thod of using a silver needle to test for poison was sowhat inconvenient. If one could craft the needle into a retractable ring, then testing for poison while holding things could be done without drawing attention from others.

Long Xinghe’s list of items to craft now included one more thing.

She carried the ginseng tea through the door.

Only, she had not expected that upon entering and looking up, she would see a scene that made her face stiffen.
