Volume 1_Chapter 95 Heart disease requires heart medicine

Yun Qiyue got off her own carriage and went alone to the front of the Princess's carriage.

"Your Highness the Princess—" Yun Qiyue stood outside the carriage and spoke up.

"Get on." Xuanyuan Rao's noble yet slightly indifferent voice rang out from inside the carriage.

Yun Qiyue didn't think too much about it; after the carriage driver moved the footstool down, she stepped on the stool, lifted the carriage curtain, and boarded the carriage.

Inside the carriage, Xuanyuan Rao was sitting upright, her expression and demeanor both carrying a sense of nobility and cold aloofness.

When Yun Qiyue entered, there was not a hint of warmth or happiness on Xuanyuan Rao's face; she only raised her eyes to look at Yun Qiyue, her gaze cold.

Yun Qiyue had an illusion that she was like an enemy to the Princess.

Facing Xuanyuan Rao, who clearly didn't like her at first glance, Yun Qiyue was full of confusion.

Since she didn't like her, why grant her special privileges and even invite her onto the carriage to keep her company?

Yun Qiyue could not figure it out, so she could only silently find a spot to sit down.

Seeing that Yun Qiyue was not the least bit afraid of her, Xuanyuan Rao did not get angry because of it, only asking indifferently, "How is the Consort's physical condition?"

Yun Qiyue was stunned upon hearing this.

The Consort?

But soon, Yun Qiyue thought of that sick man at the Princess Mansion.

Presumably, that person was the Consort.

She had originally thought that the Princess did not know what she had been doing, but now it seemed it was not as she had imagined.

However, looking at the Princess's appearance, she didn't seem to be here to hold her accountable, so Yun Qiyue did not hide anything and spoke truthfully, "The Consort's body is currently in no serious danger, but to recover, it will still take some time to recuperate."

After finishing, Yun Qiyue hesitated for a moment, then added, "It's just that the Consort's illness is more of a heart disease, and heart disease requires heart medicine..."

"Bang—"

Before Yun Qiyue could finish her words, Xuanyuan Rao slammed her palm onto the small side table, her eyes full of anger.

Heart disease, heart medicine?

Thinking of the two terms Yun Qiyue said, Xuanyuan Rao was filled with fury.

Who were his heart disease and heart medicine? Wasn't it her...

Thinking of this, the anger in Xuanyuan Rao's eyes as she looked at Yun Qiyue intensified a bit more.

Yun Qiyue was startled by Xuanyuan Rao's anger, but she forced herself to remain calm, looking at the Princess with an unyielding gaze.

The Princess asked a question, she answered truthfully; her duty was fulfilled, and anything else was none of her business.

As for whether the Princess was angry or not, that had nothing to do with her.

Moreover, this Princess clearly didn't get along with her, so it didn't seem strange that she was angry, and she really had no need to try to please her.

"Stop the carriage." The Princess said coldly.

After Yun Qiyue got on, the carriage that had only been moving for a short while stopped again.

"Get out—" Xuanyuan Rao looked coldly at Yun Qiyue, with flames still in her eyes.

If it were anyone else, they might have trembled and taken their leave after hearing these words from Xuanyuan Rao.

But Yun Qiyue clenched her fists, feeling very displeased inside.

After enduring it, Yun Qiyue still said, "The Consort's illness stems from the heart; the Princess surely must know this, and even if the Princess is angry, this is still a fact."

As for why she was angry because of this fact, she didn't know, nor did she want to know.

She didn't even want to deal with this Princess anymore.

After saying this, Yun Qiyue didn't bother to look at what kind of expression Xuanyuan Rao had and prepared to get off the carriage.

However, at this very moment, the system, which had been quiet, let out a 'Ding—' sound.

For some reason, Yun Qiyue felt that hearing the system's voice at this time was not a good sign.

There was just a bad premonition.

Sure enough, the next moment, the system issued a Task.

"Host, 'Trick a handsome man to become a life winner' has issued a new Task: Treat the Princess's illness."

"If the Task succeeds, you will be rewarded with thirty points; if the Task fails, fifty points will be deducted."

Yun Qiyue: "..."

As expected, the system nicknamed 'Pit-Father' did not deceive her.

Issuing a task at this time, it was clearly looking for trouble.

If the Task points weren't important, Yun Qiyue would definitely ignore the task and turn around to leave right now.

But she only had four percent of her Life Value left, so points were especially important at this time.

After all, if the task were completed, she would reach one hundred points and be able to replenish her Life Value directly.

Thus, she took a deep breath.

Yun Qiyue, whose expression had been poor a moment ago as she prepared to leave the carriage, now turned to look at Princess Xuanyuan Rao with a faint smile.

Xuanyuan Rao frowned, about to lash out.

Yun Qiyue quickly said, "Your Highness the Princess, please don't be angry; I have a question..."

Who made this a society of imperial power? She had to bow her head.

Xuanyuan Rao heard this and looked coldly at Yun Qiyue.

Seeing that Xuanyuan Rao showed no signs of lashing out for the moment, Yun Qiyue quickly said, "Your Highness the Princess, may I take your pulse?"

Even touching her would do.

No matter what, she had to determine the Princess's ailment first.

If she couldn't even determine the ailment, how could she complete the Task?

However, Xuanyuan Rao clearly had no intention of letting Yun Qiyue take her pulse, only saying in an even colder tone, "Get out—"

Having been told to get out twice, even if Yun Qiyue had the best temper and could bend and stretch, she could no longer stay at this moment.

Moreover, the expression on the Princess's face was enough to show that if she did not get out, the Princess would likely fly into a rage.

If that were to happen, completing the Task would become even more difficult.

Taking a deep breath, Yun Qiyue turned and got off the carriage.

Just after stepping off the carriage, the system sent a soul-searching question, "Host, are you going to give up the Task?"

By now, Yun Qiyue had already entered the Gongmen, and she was right on the plaza.

Not far away, many carriages were parked, and many noble ladies and official wives began walking into the Imperial Palace from here.

Since Yun Qiyue's carriage had come in following the Princess, it was now parked, and Qingyan and Xixue both crowded around her.

As Yun Qiyue walked toward the Imperial Garden, she asked the system, "What is the time limit for the Task?"

System: "If the Task is not completed after today, the Task will be considered a failure by default."

Yun Qiyue: "Then why didn't the previous Task fail when it wasn't completed?" Yun Qiyue was referring to the matter of saving the Princess Consort.

System: "Because the Host saved that patient, and it is still ongoing; once the Host completely heals the person, the points will be given to the Host."

Yun Qiyue: "..." Does this mean she not only has to provide service but also a one-stop after-sales service?

However, now is not the time to dwell on this, because there is something more important to ask the system.

"System, can this Task be extended by a few days?"

Judging from the attitude that the Princess had toward her, it would likely be extremely difficult to get her to allow a medical examination.

Especially since it would likely be hard to find an opportunity inside the Imperial Palace today.

The problem is that her Life Value is about to run out, and compared to finding Ye Lanjue to top up her Life Value, doing the Task seems to be faster.

As long as she can complete this Task, her Life Value will be replenished by ten percent all at once.

System: "No." It refused very heartlessly.

Yun Qiyue: "System, say that again!" There was a clear hint of threat in Yun Qiyue's voice.

System: "... I will grant you a one-day extension!"

The system also has to learn to read the room.

Yun Qiyue: "Three days."

Excluding today, with three more days, she could fully find a way to overcome the Princess.

And after three days, if she completed the Task, she could directly gain Life Value.

If she couldn't complete it, she would still have time to go find Ye Lanjue.

Therefore, three days is a very suitable amount of time.

However, the system still refused, "No, two days."

Yun Qiyue: "Three days!" Yun Qiyue was very insistent.

Then, Yun Qiyue softened her tone, "System, I promise, just this once, just make an exception this once."

What is this called? It's called using both the carrot and the stick.

The system was silent for a long time, as long as half a century.

Finally, the system agreed, "Fine, just this once."

Hearing this, Yun Qiyue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the system did not continue to insist, otherwise she would have had to compromise for two days.

As for perishing together with the system, that was purely a lie to the system; only a fool would actually do that.

Yun Qiyue was very happy, and even Qingyan and Xixue on the side could feel it.

"You... are Qiyue?"

Just at this moment, a man's voice came from Yun Qiyue's side.
