The Female Lead Wants Me to Take My Medicine [Quick Transmigration] 87p2

Chapter 87 p2: Let Me See Sect Master Xi’s Skills

For the first time, Xun Suihuang found that someone’s mouth was so poisonous that it did not distinguish between friend and foe, and even scolded herself.

Xun Suihuang: “The sect master is being too modest.”

Xi Congshuang’s use was far greater than she had imagined. Even if she were to defect to Prince Wu now, Prince Wu would be able to put aside the hatred of losing several of his confidantes and would happily welcome her into his door and offer her the position of high minister.

In less than a year of her appearance, she had made the proud Prince Wu lose several of his confidantes and had even brought up Prince Xin, whose mother had fallen out of favor.

Who didn’t know about Prince Xin now?

People’s hearts were turning. The once-unpopular Prince Xin had long had many court officials on his side, just waiting for a letter of appointment as the crown prince.

Even Concubine Wan, who was rumored to have been disfigured in her early years, and who was Prince Xin’s mother, was more beautiful than before, like a sixteen-year-old girl.

In order to please Emperor Jianxing, she had offered medicine and had danced in the winter night to evoke Emperor Jianxing’s old feelings.

At the beginning of the year, Concubine Wan, who felt that it was not enough, had found a sworn sister from her mother’s family, saying that she wanted to find a good husband for her sworn sister in Yongdu. That sworn sister was now the new favorite noble concubine by Emperor Jianxing’s side.

Emperor Jianxing wanted to give the long-vacant position of empress to Concubine Wan. After Xi Congshuang had left Yongdu, Concubine Wan was already Noble Consort Wan.

These were all from Sect Master Xi’s hands. She said she was a useless straw bag, then the world would be full of straw bags.

“If it’s not used in the right place, it’s useless no matter how powerful it is.” Xi Congshuang shook her head and said, “You should be happy, right? My skills are not good, and the one I’m tricking is Prince Xin.”

“You talk like that. Aren’t you afraid of being heard by Prince Xin’s people?” Xun Suihuang knew that she had not guessed wrong. This poison was indeed from Prince Xin.

“Who dares to monitor me?” Xi Congshuang walked up to her, a few strands of long hair hanging in front of her, softening her coldness and showing a hint of gentleness.

Her smoky-gray eyes clearly reflected, “General knows so much. How can you not know that I’m covered in poison and no one dares to touch me?”

Now Xun Suihuang understood. This was not a gentle rabbit, but a rabbit that would kick when it was cornered.

“I also wanted to ask the general why she was so kind as to pour me tea. Is it because she pities me?” Xi Congshuang stood up straight and walked around the room.

The figure in front of her fluttered away, took out a set of white clothes from the cabinet, and was about to take off her clothes with the ties on her body undone.

“Xi Yan, you…!” Xun Suihuang was caught off guard, and all her calculations were washed away by her sudden action.

She was not in the mood to think about how the two of them, who had been working together so well, had suddenly fallen out. She didn’t care if she couldn’t get an answer. It was the same no matter who sat on the throne.

Whether it was Prince Xin, Prince Wu, or the deposed empress’s son, the deposed Prince Qin, it made no difference to Xun Suihuang.

Xi Congshuang turned her head strangely. “What’s wrong with me?”

Under the wide inner clothes, there was another layer of inner clothes. The outer layer was dirty, but the inner layer was still clean.

“…”

Xun Suihuang had a feeling of being played with.

Xi Congshuang glanced at the clothes on her body and understood. “My body is not good. I’m afraid of the cold at night, so I wear a few more layers of clothes to sleep.”

Xun Suihuang: “Then you should take good care of your body.”

Since there was nothing else, and seeing that the person could still jump around and talk and anger people, she should be fine. Of course, she would not stay long and was about to leave.

Xi Congshuang chased after her for a step. “General Xun, you saved my life today. I’ll help you with something. Tell your people not to go to the supervising eunuch’s courtyard. I’ll take care of the ‘apology’ matter for you.”

She had not heard of any supervising eunuch for the whole of last year. A batch of supervising eunuchs had come just as the war was about to end. Anyone with eyes could see that this group of supervising eunuchs was here to snatch the credit.

Speaking of assisting the commander of the thirteen camps of Northern Yan in negotiating a peace, even a child on the street would not believe this nonsense.

Who knew that it was such a coincidence? She had received news that a scattered Ye Man tribe was wandering nearby, so Xun Suihuang had gone for a trip, thinking that she could come back on the same day and also see what the strategist that Prince Xin was willing to let out looked like, and then find a way to fool her.

Who knew that the scattered tribe was like a dog with a good nose? Before she had even arrived, they had already run away.

Since she was already here, how could Xun Suihuang let them leave so easily? She had drilled through the forest all night before she had brought this group of people to justice on the spot.

At the moment of his death, a scattered tribe member’s bones were soft, and he had exposed that the eldest prince was having an affair with the commander of a lower county in Fuzhou. In the early morning, he had taken a detour to the command post in the lower county and had pulled him from his concubine’s bed and had cut him down.

Someone had to clean up the mess. Xun Suihuang had enough on her hands. She casually pointed at a deputy commander to stabilize the situation and hurried back.

At this time, the sky was already bright.

She had planned to take a shower and then write a memorial to report that she had cut down the commander and to ask His Majesty to punish her.

No matter if she was really asking for leave or not, she still had to do the face-saving work.

Sometimes Xun Suihuang felt that her eloquence was so good that it made her laugh.

Before she had even started to write the memorial, she had received news from the governor’s residence that her restless subordinate was so angry that she had gone to the door to apologize in the morning.

By the time she had arrived at the governor’s residence, she had heard the governor say that Gu Daifang and her men were not in the main courtyard, but in another place.

She had not heard her name clearly and had rushed over, only to run into Xi Congshuang’s poison acting up.

But the poison on Xi Congshuang and her words were greatly beyond Xun Suihuang’s expectation.

After all, she was a sect master. She should not be like this, too easy to talk to, not at all aloof.

It was a bargain not to take advantage of it. Xun Suihuang agreed very quickly. “Alright, let me see Sect Master Xi’s skills too.”

The two of them looked at each other from across the room. One was in a fiery red robe, with civil and military sleeves, looking very valiant and heroic. The other was in a white robe, as ethereal as a fairy, her body weak, but she was not intimidated by the former’s aura.

Suddenly, a clear and loud voice came from outside the door. “Who are you? What are you doing lying on the door?”

Only then did the two of them remember that there were people outside the door. They all turned to look, but they heard a few thuds. The door was knocked open.

Gu Daifang, who should have been standing guard under the tree, was the first to fall in, lying at Xun Suihuang’s feet.

Gu Daifang stared at the black leather boots in front of her until she was cross-eyed. She looked up along the vermilion robe. With just one glance, she did not dare to look anymore.

The general’s face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Gu Daifang: “General, I didn’t mean to. I heard that this person is very good at poisoning. I was worried about the general…”

Xun Suihuang loosened her clenched fist and grabbed her collar to pull her up. “You embarrassing thing. Why don’t you get up?”

Gu Daifang quickly got up, her eyes constantly looking at Xi Congshuang, her heart inexplicably more afraid.

If anyone had seen a person who was almost coughing up blood into a basin, and in less than a quarter of an hour, could stand up, talk, and laugh, was this something a human could do?

Hongdou, who was holding a medicine tureen, looked at the woman behind the door strangely. This person was very unfamiliar, which made Hongdou instinctively tense up her guard. “Who are you?”

Seeing that Xi Congshuang behind her was safe and sound, she was relieved. She looked at Xun Suihuang again. “Why are you in my young miss’s room?”

Xun Suihuang’s expression did not change. “I heard that your sect master is sick. I came to visit. If there’s anything you need, just ask. The general’s residence has it.”

Hongdou just treated it as a polite remark. If she wanted anything, it would definitely be more complete in the Yihao Hall. How could she go and ask the general’s residence?

She said, “We have everything here. We don’t need yours. You should keep it…”

Xi Congshuang inside said, “Hongdou, come here.”

Hongdou instantly forgot about the great general in front of her and even more completely forgot about the framing she had talked about before. She strode in with the medicine tureen.

“Coming, miss.” Hongdou chattered as if no one else was there. “Miss, why are you sitting here without a coat? You’ll catch a cold.”

Xi Congshuang accurately cut her off before the next topic started. “Hongdou, pour me a cup of tea. I want it cold.”

Hongdou was unhappy again. “How can you drink cold tea? You are a doctor yourself. You know how much it hurts the spleen and stomach to drink cold tea on an empty stomach. Luckily, I brought a pot of hot tea back. I’ll pour it for you now.”

Xun Suihuang, who had just poured her more than half a pot of cold strong tea: “…”

I almost forgot. This is a sickly person.

Xi Congshuang took the hot tea Hongdou had poured, was draped with an outer robe, and sat sickly on a grand master’s chair, staring at the teacup in a daze.

Noticing the gaze of the person who had not left the courtyard, she looked up. At this moment, she was like a goddess statue made of fragile ice and snow.

Xun Suihuang withdrew her gaze and did not look anymore. She had not missed the action she had just seen. When Xi Congshuang had taken the teacup, she had carefully avoided Hongdou’s hand.

Oh, so her problem is like this with everyone.
