Chapter 75.4 - The Poison King and the Grape's Bromance (4)

Du Xiao Li turned around, seeing Du Yun Han winking at her. She instantly smiled. Seeing his own

daughter’s smile, Du Yun Han nally left in high spirits, quickly catching up to Han Ming Ze and the

others.

“Miss, those poisonous blood have already been prepared. But those things, we all didn’t bring over,

how are we going to examine it?” Xia Yuan said.

“You take a trip back to Jade Bamboo Courtyard and have those tools all brought over, need to be

quick, else this poisonous blood will lose eect. It would be much more convenient if we have

samples of the re and ice poison.” Du Xiao Li said.

“Miss Du, this, if it’s leftover dessert, is it okay?” Yue Yin asked.

“The poison is in the dessert?” Du Xiao Li asked.

Yue Yin nodded and went over to the table to have a plate of cake brought over, “The princess got

poisoned after eating this.”

Du Xiao Li took the plate and snied it, “Indeed, there’s a faint scent of re and ice poison. With this,

things we’ll be easier.” Afterwards, she turned to Xia Yuan and said, “This way, the set of tools for

examining the blood, you don’t need to bring.”

“Alright, then miss, I’ll be going back to get the other things.”

“En, go then.”

Niu Jing listened to the conversation between Di Xiao Li and Xia Yuan, and after Xia Yuan left, he

went forward and asked, “Junior sister ah, what are the things you were talking about?”

“I’ve always been interested in this poison king’s poison, because many of his poisons don’t have

antidote, so I thus made myself a set of tools for researching his poison.” Du Xiao Li replied.

“No wonder Imperial Physician Du is this knowledgable towards the poison king’s poison.” Imperial

Physician Hu said in realization, “If there’s anything you need, please by all means let us help.”

“How could Xiao Li dare to.” Du Xiao Li replied.

“To be able to contribute in curing the third princess is also this one’s honor!” Imperial Physician Hu

said.

Because there was still the Grand Empress Dowager at the estate, Du Xiao Li had her daily meals

lined up on a sheet of paper and after Xia Yuan returned, had her take it to the estate to give to Xie

Hen, and to also let the Grand Empress Dowager know about the situation here.

When the Grand Empress Dowager heard Xia Yuan explain that Lu Jun Qi was poisoned with re and

ice poison, she was rst very nervous, and then after hearing that the poison has already been

temporarily suppressed by Du Xiao Li, she nally nodded her head and said, “This grieving one

understands. Go tell your miss, this grieving one is quite well staying here, so there’s no need for

her to worry about this side, and have her properly treat the Easter Li third princess.”

After Du Xiao Li heard the Grand Empress Dowager’s words from Xia Yuan, she reassuringly moved

into the inn, shutting herself in her room everyday researching the re and ice poison. Sometimes,

when it was time to eat, and she was too engrossed in her research, she would even skip her meals.

In these days, Han Ming Ze didn’t come again. Rather, Han Ming Yi frequently came to visit, and

when he saw Du Xiao Li being busy, he was just stand at the door and watch her for awhile before

leaving.

In between, Han Ming Hong also came a few times. However, he was blocked every time by Du Xiao

Li using the excuse of ‘busy researching the antidote’. This Han Ming Hong previously was still

avoiding her like the plague, but now, he rather isn’t afraid of this feral girl raised in the countryside

dirtying his eyes!

“Junior sister, how’s your research going?” Niu Jing came into Du Xiao Li’s research room and asked.

Right now, it was already the seventh day, there was still another three to ve days left. More than

half of the time has already passed. If when the time comes, she still can’t develop an antidote, Lu

Jun Qi’s life will be in danger.

“The progress can still be considered smooth, should see results in the next few days.” Du Xiao Li

said.

The poison king’s poison this time was somewhat dierent than his poisons from before. That’s why

it took her ve days to study the overall poisonous substances, and now she was currently trying to

concoct an antidote.

“I heard just now, the Eastern Li’s fourth prince, Lu Jun Wu, will be arriving today. Reportedly, he and

the third princess are fraternal twins.” Niu Jing said.

“Is it the person Eastern Li sent over to pick her up?” Du Xiao Li asked.

“Should be. Heard two days ago, he learned of the third princess’s situation and rushed over on

horseback.” Niu Jing said.

Du Xiao Li stopped ipping the medicinal herb in hand and said, “This Eastern Li is rather strange.

They were long aware that the third princess was here, yet waited this long to come get her.”

“Actually, it’s still considered normal. They need to pass through that body of sea water to come

here, thus their progress is relatively slow.” Niu Jing said.

“Sea water?”

Niu Jing saw Du Xiao Li’s surprised expression and just knew she most likely didn’t know about

Eastern Li’s situation. “Eastern Li is an island nation separated from us by a body of water. To go

back and forth all require a boat.”

“Eastern Li is actually an island nation?” Du Xiao Li said in astonishment. She’d always thought that

Eastern Li shared borders with Feng Ming.

Just then, Xia Yuan came over and knocked on the door, “Miss, Eastern Li’s fourth prince has arrived

at the inn and is requesting to see you.”

“I understand. I still have a few things to do here right now, so tell him I’ll be there in a bit.” Du Xiao

Li replied.

“Yes.”

Heard this fourth prince’s martial arts is very high, but his temper seemingly isn’t very good. Later,

you best be careful. I’ll go over rst.” Niu Jing instructed.

Du Xiao Li nodded and had the medicinal herbs in her hands thrown into a small basin. After seeing

the muddy water in the basin turn clear, she happily smiled, and then nally tidied up her things

and headed to Lu Jun Qi’s room.

‘Bang—-‘ Du Xiao Li had just arrived outside the room when she heard table slamming sound inside,

followed by a crude and violent voice, “What is that imperial physician doing? Why still haven’t they

come yet?”

“Imperial Physician Du should be arriving soon.” Yue Yin explained for Du Xiao Li.

“Hmph, later when the imperial physician arrives, I need to properly ask him, why my third older

sister still haven’t woken up after all this time! Feng Ming is full of useless imperial physicians!” Lu

Jun Wu angrily said.

“Since my Feng Ming’s imperial physicians are all useless, then presumably the fourth prince is able

to cure the third princess yourself, no need for our useless people here?” Du Xiao Li walked in,

seeing a man somewhat resembling Lu Jun Qi.

Lu Jun Wu saw Du Xiao Li enter, and hearing her words, he instinctively grabbed the teacup on the

table and threw it at Du Xiao Li, shouting: “You’re a servant girl? How can a servant girl just casually

enter my third sister’s room?!”

Du Xiao Li saw the teacup ying towards herself and shifted to the side, hearing the teacup shatter

on the oor. She looked to Lu Jun Wu and said, “Fourth prince rather has this place seen as your

own!?”

Looking to the side, she saw the very unsightly looking Niu Jing and Imperial Physician Hu, most

likely having already gotten cursed at by Lu Jun Wu, thus her face wasn’t very good either.

“What are you, even daring to speak to me like that? Quickly scram and have that useless Imperial

Physician Du of yours called over! Else I’ll chop you in half!” Lu Jun Wu loudly roared at Du Xiao Li.

“Me? Hehe.” Du Xiao Li coldly laughed. “I’m precisely the useless Imperial Physician Du you speak

of…….”
