Chapter 566: Doru Ulu?

a common medicinal herb available in most pharmacies. Because this lily bulb is primarily used to stop coughs and clear phlegm, many doctors would prescribe lily bulbs to treat patients with fever and...The eunuch who delivered the imperial decree looked embarrassed. He had served as a decree deliverer for so many years, and this was the first time he encountered such a situation.

Why would he still have to take the imperial decree back to the emperor To say that the princess of Beijang defied the imperial decree, she didn't defy it. After the imperial decree was delivered, both the King of Beijang and the Princess of Beijang had already accepted it.

So this... they can't be said to have disobeyed the imperial decree.

The eunuch looked at Mo Yunjing, hoping he would discipline his unruly princess. But Mo Yunjing just gave him a cold glance and said, "Can't you understand what the princess is saying"

His tone scared the eunuch so much that he wished he could run away with his legs. At this moment, all he could do was nod repeatedly, "Understood...understood, I'll go back and inform the Emperor."

The eunuch bowed and turned to run, as if a ferocious beast was chasing him from behind.

Seeing the eunuch's embarrassed appearance, An Xue Tang turned her head to look at Mo Yun Jing beside her, "A-Jing, look at how you scared the poor man."

Mo Yunjing smiled, reaching out to take her hand. The two of them returned to Jingtang Garden together.

Back in Jingtang Garden, An Xuetang continued to tinker with her herbs, while Mo Yunjing helped by sorting them for her.

Anyone who witnessed this scene would find it unbelievable. The mighty God of War, the Northern Border King, would actually deign to do such a thing.

Four people, Fu Shou Kang Ning, were quietly working in a corner, each engrossed in their own tasks without making a sound.

An Xuetang prepared the anesthetic while explaining Mo Yunchen's condition to Mo Yunjing.

"Ajing, the poison in the emperor's body has been removed. His complexion has improved considerably over the past two days. The operation should be fine, so don't worry too much."

After all, surgery is a big deal, An Xuetang was afraid that Mo Yunjing would be worried sick, so she wanted him to relax.

Mo Yunjing hummed in response, he glanced at An Xuetang, "I believe you."

The curve of An Xuetang's mouth became more and more obvious. What in this world could be more important than these four words, 'I believe in you'

The two continued to lower their heads and work on the medicinal herbs. An Xuetang suddenly sighed, "I've finished making this anesthetic. In a while, I can start preparing the skincare products. After they are made, I will have to trouble Ajing to send these skincare products into the palace for my mother."

When it comes to Liu, Mo Yunjing frowned. "Is she truly set on staying in the palace"

"Well, when I chatted with her at the palace that day, I realized power is a tempting thing. She has enjoyed it and benefited from it, so she wouldn't want to leave the palace and become an ordinary person."

Thinking about it, An Xuetang shook her head and sighed, “Once you enter the palace, it’s like entering a deep sea. She only saw the immediate benefits in front of her, but she didn’t think about how difficult her life would be once the emperor turned his affections elsewhere.”

Mo Yunjing remained silent for a moment before speaking, "She is very intelligent. A woman who can beguile an emperor... Tangtang needn't worry about her. The women in the palace haven't had as much experience as she has. In truth, it's not certain who would win or lose."

An Xuetang also nodded in agreement, "That's true. Actually, she isn't stupid. Perhaps you don't know this, Ajing, but Liu Shi's father was a teacher and her mother used to be a maidservant in a wealthy household. So Liu Shi probably isn't that dimwitted. Especially her mother, who might have taught her how to survive in a big house."

Mo Yunjing curled his lips into a smile, his voice warm and jade-like, "So Tangtang needn't worry about having a bad time in the palace."

An Xuetang pursed her lips, "I wasn't worried at all."

She wasn't worried at all, sometimes she just couldn't help paying extra attention to Liu shi because of the original owner. After all, without Liu shi, there wouldn't be the original owner, and she wouldn't be who she is today.

As a human, she knew how to write the two characters "gratitude," but she couldn't reciprocate kindness like a drop of water does. When it came to repaying a favor like a gushing spring, well, sometimes she truly felt exasperated with Liu Shi.

When she saw what Liu had done, she was angry, but there was nothing she could do. Since she couldn't change it, she could only choose to ignore it.

Mo Yun Jing reached out and touched her head, "I'll have someone send her medicine into the palace, but you could consider giving her poison for self-defense."

What he didn't tell An Xuetang was that the women in the palace were far crueler and more ruthless than she had imagined.

Mo Yunjing's suggestion, An Xuetang had also considered. She nodded, "Good, I will also prepare some poisons for her defense. However, Ajing, I also intend to give her some poisons that can kill people invisibly. Do you have any objections Or... is there anyone in the palace that you want to protect We can tell her not to hurt them."

"No."

An Xue Tang arched an eyebrow, "Then I won't be polite."

This poison was her final parting gift to Liu Shi. As for her life and death from now on, she wouldn't care anymore. After all, it was Liu Shi who chose to stay in the palace. Whatever the outcome, she had to bear the consequences herself.

After Mo Yunjing helped An Xuetang process some herbs, he was called away by Yun Si. It was said that news had come from Beijang, and he needed to attend to official business.

Then An Xuetang made the anesthetic and, with the cooperation of Fu Shou Kang Ning and four others, skincare products were quickly produced.

She divided the skincare products in half. An Xue Tang wrote a letter and entrusted the skincare products, poison, and the letter to Yun Liu, asking him to deliver them to Mo Yun Jing.

As for how to do it, Mo Yunjing knew.

After making the arrangements, An Xue Tang took another set of skincare products and went to Hua Duo Er's courtyard with Ning Er.

Huā duǒ'er and Xiǎo Hóng were chatting. Xiǎo Hóng didn't know what she had said, but she seemed to be quite excited.

Seeing An Xuetang and Ninger enter, Xiaohong rose to her feet and skipped over to An Xuetang, saying, "I greet the Princess of Beijang."

"Wai li, Xiao Hong, what were you just saying What has you so excited"

Xiaohong looked at Huadouer and, seeing that she nodded, continued to explain, “Your Highness, this morning I went to the market and saw a strange kind of fruit there. The seller kept saying it was delicious, but no one dared to buy it.”

“Seeing that everyone didn’t believe the fruit was edible, the fruit vendor had to open one himself and eat it to show everyone that the fruit was truly edible and delicious. However, once the fruit was opened, its stench spread throughout the entire street. The people on the street couldn’t stand the smell, so they chased the fruit vendor away with brooms.”

“I've come back to describe what happened to my mistress, Your Grace. My mistress actually argued with me about whether or not those fruits are edible! I personally think that the fruit smells terribly and shouldn't be eaten, but my mistress insists it is. Lady, please tell me, how could such a stinky fruit possibly be edible”

"..."

Hearing Xiao Hong's description, An Xue Tang's heart suddenly beat fast with excitement. She grabbed Xiao Hong's arm and said, "Xiao Hong, describe the fruit in detail!"

Xiao Hong was taken aback for a moment, somewhat bewildered, but she still explained, “The merchant said that the smelly fruit, whose name is Duluo, looks like a chicken head and is **one inch** long. Its skin has sharp spines. When ripe, it splits into lobes, smelling like rotten beef. Inside, there are fourteen or fifteen pieces of flesh, as big as chestnuts, white as butter, and sweet to eat.”ster also had feelings for her, she would even hope that they could end up together. However, now... a vicious woman like Fu'er is not worthy at all.In the instant she betrayed Xuntanggu, revealing it...
