Volume 1_Chapter 274: Retaliation Against Qin Dairou

After the shock, Yun Qiyue felt it was within reason.

Because, when she first met Yun Xiang, Yun Qiyue had a different feeling.

However, at this moment, Yun Qiyue thought of the System's words.

When the System issued the task to save Yun Xiang, one could tell from the rewards that Yun Xiang had a deep connection with her.

Yun Xiang, the Princess, the Prince Consort, and Qi Laotaijun—they seemed to have one thing in common: they were all related to her mother. Could it be...

Yun Qiyue's breathing suddenly became tense.

If her guess was correct, then, once she went to the Hidden World...

Yun Qiyue did not dare to continue thinking; instead, she quickly told the Old Marquis the news.

When the Old Marquis heard that Yun Xiang was his own grandson, Yun Wenxiang, he didn't believe it at first, thinking Yun Qiyue was lying to him to comfort his wounded heart.

But when Yun Qiyue produced the evidence, the Old Marquis wept with joy.

The grandson he had searched for so bitterly for so many years had been right by his side.

After crying and laughing, the Old Marquis grabbed Yun Qiyue's hand: "Where is Xiang'er? Where is Xiang'er? Why don't I see Xiang'er?"

Yun Qiyue realized then that since the day of her wedding, when Xiang'er carried her out of the house, he had not been seen again.

And now, seven or eight days had passed since her wedding.

In these seven or eight days, the events at the Marquis Mansion had long since spread.

The Old Marquis had ignored it, and Yun Qiyue would ignore it even more.

But normally, although Xiang'er was not at home every day, he would always appear every few days just to ensure she wouldn't worry.

But now, where was Xiang'er?

Yun Qiyue looked at Ye Lanjue, her eyes filled with inquiry.

Ye Lanjue: "... I will send people to investigate."

Yet, for a day or two, news of Yun Xiang still could not be found.

But at this time, the Xihai envoys said they were leaving.

If it were before, Yun Qiyue would not have needed to pay attention to the Xihai envoys.

But now, it was different.

Because Qin Dairou was the person who had harmed her brother.

From the beginning, when she treated Qin Dairou's illness, she had left a hidden danger in her body.

And the condition was that she wanted Qin Dairou to kneel before Yun Xiang one day and kowtow in apology.

Even if Qin Dairou refused then, she had ways to make her nod.

The poison in Qin Dairou's body could make her wish she were dead and allow her to be tortured properly.

But now, she couldn't wait.

Yun Xiang couldn't be found for the moment, and she could no longer resist torturing Qin Dairou.

Thus, after the Xihai envoys set off and left Jingcheng, Yun Qiyue quietly followed them.

And in the Xihai envoys' drinking water, Yun Qiyue planted a poison that caused the entire Xihai delegation to fall into a coma.

Then, Yun Qiyue walked boldly in front of Qin Dairou and gave her special treatment.

Qin Dairou woke up.

But she discovered that the environment she was in was terrifying.

Around her were either poisonous scorpions or venomous insects, and these things were all crawling onto her body.

Beside Qin Dairou's hand, a knife had appeared out of nowhere.

Qin Dairou kept using the knife to kill the scorpions and insects, but there were simply too many of them.

Finally, they crawled onto her face and began to bite her.

"Ah—all of you go to hell, go to hell—"

Qin Dairou was about to collapse.

She screamed wildly and used the knife to kill the insects on her face.

Amidst Qin Dairou's screams, the Xihai envoys woke up.

Then, they discovered that their Princess was holding a knife, frantically slashing at her own face.

The beautiful Qin Dairou's face was now a bloody mess...

And at this time, the culprit had long since returned to Jingcheng.

However, upon returning to Jingcheng, Yun Qiyue suddenly thought of one thing.

That was, she seemed not to have cured the poison in Ouyang Xi's body.

Recently, she had discussed with the Regent that they would soon set off for the Hidden World.

These days, the Regent was handling some matters of the Donglin Kingdom; after all, Xuanyuan Ze was a new emperor who had no ambition and had never thought of being emperor before.

To put it bluntly, Xuanyuan Ze had been forced into the position.

In this situation, to keep Donglin stable, one had to promote some capable people.

After all, there was still the ambitious Xihai.

At least during the time they were gone, Donglin needed the ability to protect itself.

Therefore, the Regent had been very busy lately.

And she could not fail to fulfill her promise.

As for the Dengjing Grass, it had long since grown and was currently safe and sound in her space.

No sooner said than done, Yun Qiyue arrived at Ouyang Xi's residence.

Ouyang Xi seemed not to have expected Yun Qiyue to come; there was a trace of surprise on his face, and even more, complexity.

At this very moment, Ouyang Xi actually felt a trace of regret toward Yun Qiyue.

And that feeling of regret had started when he witnessed her bowing in marriage to Ye Lanjue.

However, all of this was already too late.

Thinking of this, Ouyang Xi suppressed all his emotions and just looked at Yun Qiyue indifferently, "I thought you had forgotten."

Yun Qiyue felt sheepish; she had indeed almost forgotten, but hadn't she remembered now?

The two had different thoughts, but neither intended to say much.

So, as if handling official business, Yun Qiyue applied needles, prepared medicine, and detoxified Ouyang Xi.

Everything was done in one go, with ease.

Yun Qiyue should have said goodbye.

But as Yun Qiyue turned to leave, Ouyang Xi called out to her.

Yun Qiyue looked at Ouyang Xi and asked, "Does the National Preceptor still have matters?"

Ouyang Xi looked at Yun Qiyue for a long time before speaking, "Could you play one more pipa song for me?"

When he said this, although Ouyang Xi's expression was calm, there was a trace of complexity in his eyes that Yun Qiyue could not understand.

However, it was clear that the pipa song seemed to be something different for Ouyang Xi.

But Yun Qiyue refused, "Sorry, my Regent would not be happy."

She had no interest in playing the pipa for others.

As for how important the pipa song was to Ouyang Xi, it was not important to her.

It wasn't that she was heartless, but that it was unnecessary.

She had never been a saint.

Ouyang Xi did not seem surprised by Yun Qiyue's refusal; he just looked at her and said nothing more.

Seeing this, Yun Qiyue said, "If there is nothing else, I will go first."

Yun Qiyue said this and walked out of Ouyang Xi's residence without looking back.

After Yun Qiyue left, Qing Jie walked behind Ouyang Xi, somewhat worried, "Master—"

Ouyang Xi withdrew his gaze faintly, "Return to Nanli."

Then, he left without looking back.

When Yun Qiyue walked out of Ouyang Xi's house, she received the second-to-last task: treat the common people.

This task was not difficult for Yun Qiyue.

Thus, taking advantage of the preparation stage, Yun Qiyue went to the Ghost Doctor Pavilion to see patients.

With Yun Qiyue's intervention, the medicine cured the illness.

In ten days, she treated hundreds of people, only a few of whom needed surgery.

Thus, Yun Qiyue used her Super Operating Room and her medical assistant.

It must be said that with an operating room, performing surgery was simply comfortable; all surgical equipment was available.

Finally, when Yun Qiyue had treated six hundred people, her task was completed.

Yun Qiyue couldn't help but ask the System: "Is there any particularity to my saving people?"

System: "Accumulating Merit."

Merit?

Yun Qiyue smiled and dismissed it, not thinking deeply about it.

However, the news that the Princess Consort was a divine doctor who had treated six hundred people in ten days spread quickly, and more and more people came seeking her.

But Yun Qiyue had no time to waste on this, and Ye Lanjue had settled everything in Donglin with thunderous means.

It was time for them to set off.

And the day before they left, news of Yun Xiang finally arrived.

Yun Xiang was currently at Huangyun Academy.

And Ye Lanjue told Yun Qiyue that to go to the Hidden World, one must first go to Huangyun Academy.

Thus, before leaving, Yun Qiyue told the Old Marquis to take care of his health, and that she would find her brother.

Although the Old Marquis was reluctant to part with his granddaughter, he knew Yun Qiyue was going to find clues related to her mother, so he could only send her off with tears.

After several days of trekking, Yun Qiyue and Ye Lanjue finally arrived at Huangyun Academy. ===== CHAPTER 275 =====
