Chapter 520
In the darkness, Mu Yunyao smiled when she heard this.
"Siqin, prepare some gifts. Tomorrow, we'll go visit His Highness the Prince of Jin.
" This Prince Jin was much smarter than him.
The next day, the rain finally stopped after two days. The weather suddenly cleared up, causing all of Riverside City's citizens to jump in joy. Qi Yun quickly took advantage of the weather to measure the water level, plan the river course, and reorganize the riverbank.
When Mu Yunyao heard the news about the Neon Clouds Workshop and the No Envy Pavilion, she took her present to see Prince Jin.
Prince Jin and the prince lived in the same courtyard. When Mu Yunyao went over, Prince Jin was leaning against the table reading a book,
"Greetings Third Uncle.
"
"Yun Yao is here.
" Prince Jin put down the book in his hands and raised his head.
Mu Yunyao swept the area with her eyes and smiled with the corner of her lips.
"Third Uncle is looking at Riverside City's water conservancy records?
"
Only yesterday did I personally go to the embankment to take a look at it, and only then did I realize how fragile it was. If I don't repair the embankment as soon as possible, it would be impossible for me to survive the summer floods.
The smile in Mu Yunyao's eyes intensified.
"Last night, when I heard that Third Uncle was injured, my heart was very worried. This morning I had someone boil some body recovery medicine and it's still warm now. Third Uncle should hurry up and drink some.
"
After Mu Yunyao finished speaking, she motioned for Si Qin to help her pour out the soup and bring it to Prince Jin.
Prince Jin's expression didn't change, but his gaze wavered for a moment.
Mu Yunyao retracted her gaze from his expression as a strong sense of ridicule flashed in her heart. The person in front of her looked gentle and magnanimous, but was actually extremely petty.
"Why didn't Third Uncle drink the soup? Could it be that he suspects that I've poisoned the medicine?
" Mu Yunyao slightly turned her head with a pure smile on her face.
Prince Jin quickly asked:
"What are you thinking about?
"I was just worried that the medicine you concocted might conflict with the prescription given by the imperial physician, so I didn't take it without thinking.
"
"Third Uncle, don't worry. I've already asked the imperial physician in advance, and my medical skills aren't any worse than those of the imperial physicians. Before we boil the medicine, I naturally know if there's any conflicts with the medicinal properties.
"
The more Mu Yunyao said this, the more Prince Jin felt that there was something wrong with the bowl of medicine,
"I've been thinking too much. I've never heard that you know medical skills, so I'll always ignore it.
"
"Third Uncle, don't you know now? Therefore, I endured the sadness and worry in my heart,
"Could it be that Third Uncle still doesn't believe me?
"
"Why don't I have a taste first?
" Ah, look at me, I've been thinking too much. Yunyao, after I heard that you understand medicine, I suddenly thought of a person, a few days ago there was someone who came to me to seek refuge, saying that they have done a lot of research in medicine. I think that you two can communicate with each other.
"
Mu Yunyao's eyes moved as a smile appeared in her heart. Prince Jin shouldn't have just taken in the Poison Matriarch and didn't know how useful her items were. If he did, he definitely wouldn't have let the Poison Matriarch come so easily.
Not long after, the Poison Lady who was wrapped up tightly entered the room. Upon entering, she saw Mu Yunyao mysteriously smiling at her, and immediately remembered what she had said the other day when she said that she was a fox fairy. She felt a chill on her back,
"Greetings, Prince Jin, I've seen Princess Wen Xian.
"
Mu Yunyao walked up and sized the Poison Matriarch up and down.
"Are you the person Third Uncle mentioned, the one who has an extremely deep understanding of medicine?
"
"I do know some medical skills.
" The Poison Matriarch only felt as if there was a hook in Mu Yunyao's eyes. With a single glance, she felt as if her eyes could captivate anyone. Mu Yunyao stepped forward and held the Poison Lady's hand, acting extremely intimate.
"Women don't know much about medical skills, and they're even less adept at it. I really didn't think that I would be able to meet a close friend like you with Third Uncle here, why don't you follow me? Third Uncle, you …
Would they be reluctant to part with it?
"
Prince Jin looked troubled.
"This …
" Yunyao, the Poison Matriarch has her own thoughts on whether to stay with me or to follow you, it's up to her to decide.
" Mu Yunyao's gaze swept across the soup in front of Prince Jin and smiled at the Poison Lady,
"Alright then, I can't force anyone to make things difficult for them. You're called the Poison Lady, this name is rather interesting, Third Uncle is a man, and is usually thinking about court matters.
The two of us were very comfortable together.
"Whenever you change your mind, come find me.
"
The Poison Matriarch shook Mu Yunyao's hand and said in a rough voice,
"Many thanks to the princess for taking a fancy to me.
"
The smile on Mu Yunyao's face didn't change.
"Third Uncle, I won't disturb you any longer, I'll be taking my leave first.
"
"Mm, Yun Yao, take care.
"
Mu Yunyao walked out of Prince Jin's courtyard and quickly headed to her own room. As she walked, she instructed Si Qin who was at the side,
"Prepare three pieces of White Angelica money, two pieces of Pengxia money, and three pieces of Seven … Get it ready and grind it into powder for me.
"Yes.
"
These medicinal ingredients have been prepared regularly, so it's quite easy to prepare them. Si Qin looked at Mu Yunyao's red and swollen fingers and could not help but feel worried,
"Miss, just what is going on? Weren't you doing well previously? Why did you pay a visit to His Highness the Prince of Jin, causing your hand to swell to such an extent?
"
"Of course I met an expert, but don't worry, that person is even more uncomfortable than me.
"
On the other side, the woman was soaking her hands in hot water. The numbness in her fingers didn't stop. Her fingers were gradually getting red and swollen like carrots.
"Why aren't you retreating? You should be able to cure the poison with hot water.
"
As time passed, the numbness and itchiness became increasingly obvious. In the end, she felt that her hands no longer belonged to herself, so she directly entered Mu Yunyao's garden and rushed into her room.
Si Qin and the others quickly got up to prepare. Their swords were unsheathed with killing intent.
"Si Qin.
" Mu Yunyao hurriedly stopped him,
"It's fine, you guys can leave first.
"
"Young mistress...
" Si Qin still couldn't stop worrying.
Mu Yunyao shook her head and ordered them to retreat once more.
When there was only her and the Poison Matriarch left in the room, Mu Yunyao raised her eyes and smiled as she said,
"What? You didn't dispel the poison that I poisoned?
" The Poison Matriarch sized Mu Yunyao up. Her face was as beautiful as a three-month hibiscus, and her smile was as bright as the winter sun. However, her temper was even worse than hers, and her methods of poisoning were even more concealed. She walked to Mu Yunyao's side and could not help but reach out a pair of red and swollen hands to rub her own.
"In the end, you still want to hit me?
"
What poison was it?
"
Mu Yunyao held her hand while holding back her laughter. She took a medicinal paste that had been mixed with strong alcohol and carefully applied it on Mu Yunyao,
"A little trick and some black grass. You need to mix them with strong alcohol to remove the medicinal properties, it's useless simply to immerse them in hot water.
"
"Dark Drunken Grass?
" The Poison Matriarch looked at Mu Yunyao's hand. Her fingers were white and tender, and one could still see the red and swollen marks on it. She couldn't help but laugh loudly.
"Haha, you're hurting yourself and your enemies for a thousand, aren't you?
" Mu Yunyao squeezed the woman's hand with some force, causing her to cry out in alarm.
"So what? I won anyway.
