Chapter 14

Volume 1_Chapter 14 A flash of ruthlessness crossed Xu Shi's eyes

"Yun Bo..."

Yun Qiyue saw Yun Bo in a remote courtyard.

As soon as she entered the room, the first thing Yun Qiyue saw was a girl dressed as a maid with a round face and big eyes standing by Yun Bo's side. The little girl's eyes were red and swollen; one could tell at a glance that she had just been crying.

Seeing Yun Qiyue arrive, the little girl immediately knelt and saluted, "This servant, Sixue, greets the Eldest Miss."

Because this was the General's Mansion, the maids here all called Yun Qiyue Eldest Miss.

Yun Qiyue just waved her hand, signaling for Sixue to get up, and then walked straight to the bed to look at Yun Bo lying on it.

Yun Bo's appearance overlapped highly with the person in her memories.

From childhood to adulthood, whenever her father or grandfather were not around and someone bullied the original owner, it was this Yun Bo who protected her.

And for these three years, when the original owner was bullied miserably, because the original owner had no one left to back her up, even the servants of the General's Mansion didn't stand on her side, but Yun Bo still protected her tightly. For this, Yun Bo was always beaten until he was covered in wounds.

Scene after scene played back in Yun Qiyue's mind like a movie.

So much so that when her gaze fell again on the blood-stained Yun Bo, who had more air going out than coming in, she felt a lump in her throat, sour and astringent.

She knew this was the lingering emotion of the original owner.

Taking a deep breath to suppress the sourness in her heart, Yun Qiyue asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"

"After something happened to you, Eldest Miss, the foster father was taken away by the First Madam's people. When we found him, the foster father was already like this." It was Sixue who spoke.

The First Madam again!

Yun Qiyue's eyes were icy cold.

Xu Shi, she would make her pay the price sooner or later.

However, the most urgent task was to treat Yun Bo first.

Thinking this, Yun Qiyue sat by the bed and, amidst the surprised expressions of the two maids, began to take Yun Bo's pulse with her Ghost Hand.

In fact, she wasn't really taking his pulse; when her hand touched Yun Bo, his physical condition was all transmitted to her mind.

As Yun Bo's condition was transmitted into her mind bit by bit, Yun Qiyue's expression became increasingly grave.

Because Yun Bo had been beaten for the original owner in the past and hadn't received timely treatment, plus he was old, his body had already been hollowed out.

Being beaten again this time, the injuries on his body had worsened, and coupled with having been hungry for at least a day and a night, Yun Bo already showed signs of being at the end of his rope.

Her medical skills were indeed not weak, and there were basically very few illnesses she couldn't cure, but being at the end of one's rope was difficult to reverse, unless...

In the New Century, in order to overcome this shortcoming in her medical skills and truly meet the requirement of snatching lives from Yama, Yun Qiyue had specially spent a year researching a medicine called "Rejuvenation Pill."

With a Rejuvenation Pill, even an elderly person at the end of their rope could be made to hold on for a few more years.

As long as there was a Rejuvenation Pill, Yun Bo could be saved in minutes.

But this was ancient times, and it was impossible to find all the raw materials needed for the Rejuvenation Pill.

Just as Yun Qiyue was feeling worried, a mechanical sound rang out in her mind.

"Ding. The Medical Laboratory function has been successfully opened. Given that this is the host's first time using this function, the system will provide the host with a 90% discount subscription service."

Upon hearing this, Yun Qiyue's eyes lit up.

It was truly a pillow delivered just as she was feeling sleepy; it was so timely.

"I want a Rejuvenation Pill. How many points does one Rejuvenation Pill cost?" In her voice, there was an eagerness that even Yun Qiyue herself could not hide.

System: "Original price is 100 points each; 10% of the price is 10 points."

Yun Qiyue: "Deal!"

After saying this, a Rejuvenation Pill appeared in the hand she had inside her sleeve. At the same time, the system deducted 10 points from her, and she was suddenly at minus 55 points.

She put the Rejuvenation Pill to the tip of her nose and smelled it; it was indeed the familiar scent.

"Bring water," Yun Qiyue ordered with slight excitement.

Sixue was still stunned, but Qingyan glanced at Yun Qiyue and went to get water.

The water was brought quickly, and Yun Qiyue fed the Rejuvenation Pill to Yun Bo with the water.

Next, Yun Qiyue reported several medicine names, told Qingyan to get the medicine, and asked Sixue to light a few more candles. She then pulled open Yun Bo's upper garment and began to apply needles to him.

The Rejuvenation Pill was for repairing functions and saving a life, but for Yun Bo's situation, she still had to use needles in combination with medicine.

Ordinary acupuncture wasn't difficult; what was difficult was the Needle Array, which was very mentally exhausting.

By the time Yun Qiyue withdrew the needles, a wave of sleepiness washed over her.

Sixue was quick-witted and supported Yun Qiyue; the look in her eyes as she looked at Yun Qiyue was full of shock.

Yun Qiyue didn't have the energy to pay attention to her. At this time, Qingyan also returned. Yun Qiyue re-proportioned the medicinal herbs and instructed Qingyan and Sixue to pound the herbs into a paste with water, let it cool, and apply it to Yun Bo's wounds.

After finishing all this, Yun Qiyue could no longer hold on; she felt a wave of dizziness, and she completely lost consciousness...

On the other side, at the Marquis Mansion, in Xu Shi's Yalan Courtyard.

Yun Yarou said with unwillingness, "Mother, that bitch Yun Qiyue didn't die. Today, not only did she humiliate the daughter in public like that, but she even moved her hand to hit Zhiqi. The daughter will never let her go!"

At this moment, in front of Xu Shi, Yun Yarou no longer had the gentle and kind appearance she showed in front of others, leaving only a ferocious and resentful face.

Thinking of the humiliation she suffered in front of Yun Qiyue today, she hated her secretly in her heart.

What's more, Yun Qiyue had returned, so wouldn't her position as Crown Princess have even less hope?

No!

She absolutely could not let Yun Qiyue block her path! Absolutely not!

Xu Shi also hated Yun Qiyue to the bone in her heart at this moment, but having eaten more years of rice, Xu Shi was more composed than Yun Yarou.

Therefore, seeing Yun Yarou's ferocious expression, she only reminded her in a deep voice, "Rou'er!"

Yun Yarou slightly restrained her expression, but the unwillingness in her eyes did not diminish in the slightest.

Seeing this, Xu Shi said, "Rou'er, you are the one who will be the Crown Princess in the future; you must pay attention to your image."

Upon hearing this, Yun Yarou restrained her expression a bit, but she was still very unwilling, "Mother, then what should I do now?"

Xu Shi: "Whatever you did before, you will do from now on."

Yun Yarou frowned, "Are you asking me to deal with that fool..."

Yun Yarou's subsequent words were stifled under Xu Shi's gaze, but her face was full of unwillingness.

Seeing this, Xu Shi sighed and grabbed Yun Yarou's hand, holding it in her own, "Rou'er, you just need to do what you are supposed to do. As for the rest, Mother will naturally help you solve it."

As she spoke, a flash of ruthlessness crossed Xu Shi's eyes.

Upon hearing this, Yun Yarou was both surprised and delighted, "Mother, do you mean..."

Xu Shi returned a "don't be impatient" look to Yun Yarou. Yun Yarou then gradually calmed her emotions and restored her gentle appearance, "The daughter thanks Mother for the instruction."

Just after Yun Yarou left, her personal maid, Lin Mama, walked in.

Seeing Lin Mama, a trace of urgency appeared on Xu Shi's calm face, "How is it on Xu Ze's side? Has he woken up?"

Xu Ze was the only surviving guard from today. Since Xu Ze was brought back, he hadn't woken up.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mama's face looked a bit ugly, "Madam, he is still unconscious..."

"Bang—" Xu Shi threw the teacup in her hand, her face becoming ferocious, "Lin Mama, you go and make arrangements..."
