Chapter 294 Worried About You Fainting
Looking at the receding backs of Marquis Weiyuan and his servant, Princess Lingxi, who was standing in place, gradually revealed an expression of disbelief on her face.
She seemed to have made some remarkable discovery!
She stared at Herme with a burning gaze: "This scented powder...are you sure?"
Hermi twisted the coarse powder on her fingertips and confirmed again, "I'm not mistaken. This is the lowest grade rouge and powder. The reason why the princess has never seen it is because, whether in the Northern Frontier or in the palace, even the maids would not use such inferior stuff!"
The lowest? Princess Lingxi thought to herself—
If so, how could it appear on Weiyuan Hou's body? Surely Xu Rongrong, the Princess of Ping'an County, would not use such low-quality cosmetics, right?
If it wasn't Xu Rongrong's, then whose was it?
Moreover, it is so lowly?
Princess Lingxi was lost in thought: I didn't expect Mu Rong to like such a woman...
The men of the Great Zhou Dynasty really have fun.
I think a woman who is humble and lowly, yet can be favored by Marquis Weiyuan, must have some means that others cannot match.
But when it comes to women's methods...
Princess Lingxi turned her head and looked at Hermei carefully. Her hesitant look made the latter feel numb.
"Princess... why are you looking at me like that?" Hermei asked cautiously.
"If I ask you to seduce the Marquis, do you have any way?" Princess Lingxi lifted Hermei's chin with her fingertips, "You just need to lure him into bed and let Xu Rongrong see you." "Why did the princess make such arrangements?" Hermei was puzzled.
"Xu Rongrong has humiliated me time and again, and I'm determined to get my revenge!" Princess Lingxi snorted coldly, "Let her catch her man fooling around with another woman on the couch. I want to see if she's still as arrogant as she was the other day!"
After saying this, she glanced at Hermei again and said, "It's time for you to show your abilities. I've been training you in bed a lot back in the Northern Frontier. If you can seduce the Crown Prince and turn him against the Crown Princess, then surely it won't be difficult for you to control the Marquis, right?"
The Crown Prince? How could he be compared to the Marquis?
Thinking of the handsome face of Weiyuan Hou, Hermei blushed slightly: "This servant... This servant will do his best."
……
Mu Rong returned to the Marquis' Mansion and dismounted to go back to his room.
Naturally, I never thought that someone had already been thinking about me.
In order to prevent Xu Rongrong from noticing his poor complexion, he stole the rouge from the servants at home. He rarely interacted with women, so he naturally had no idea that low-quality rouge could be so unusable.
It would be fine if it stayed in the house all the time, but if it stayed in the wind for too long, it would be blown down by the wind and would be discovered by Princess Lingxi!
Then they thought he was having a secret meeting with his lover... and then they plotted against him.
Naturally, he would not know about the various plots of others, because at this moment his blood was boiling and his breath was disordered.
After slamming the door, he immediately began to meditate and regulate his breathing.
In just one hour, he adjusted his breathing twice, which was something he had never done since he introduced Xu Rongrong's cold poison into his body.
After finally calming down for a moment, he said in a deep voice, "Go and invite Mr. Shu."
Mu Yi had followed his master all the way here, so how could he notice anything wrong with his body? Therefore, he stayed outside the door and didn't dare to leave.
Now that he heard the Marquis's order, he immediately responded and left.
Soon, Shu Qing arrived.
As soon as he entered the room, he noticed something was wrong with the atmosphere. He hurried forward and asked, "Wasn't he fine the day before yesterday? Why is he suddenly like this?"
The whole room felt a bit chilly.
Mu Rong lowered his voice and said, "I went to see her today."
"Who?" Shu Qing was stunned for a moment, but after seeing Mu Rong's expression, he realized what was happening the next moment. "Did the Marquis meet the County Lady?"
Mu Rong nodded and told the story of how Xu Rongrong invited him, how he attended the meeting, and how his breathing became disordered.
Shu Qing finished taking his pulse and sighed.
Mu Rong raised an eyebrow: "How?"
"Judging from your pulse, it seems that the cold poison has overflowed due to emotional fluctuations. Fortunately, your internal strength is deep enough to adjust in time."
He said this, but his expression didn't look good. Mu Rong knew that he must have the second half of his sentence.
really……
"But..." Shu Qing frowned, "My Lord, just seeing the County Lady once has already caused your heart to be shaken and the cold poison to return... If we really wait until you two get married, I'm worried that you'll faint immediately."
Mu Rong: "..."
"If we really wait until the wedding night..."
"Okay." Mu Rong interrupted him, "No need to say more."
Shu Qing stroked his beard and fell silent.
Mu Rong lowered his eyes, thought for a while, and then asked, "Is there a solution?"
"We can only wait for those poisoned people in Southern Xinjiang to be sent to the capital as soon as possible so that we can develop a complete detoxification method as soon as possible."
Hearing him say this, Mu Rong pondered for a moment before finally asking what was on his mind: "If we want to completely cure this icy poison...how confident are you, Mr. Shu?"
"Forty percent." This was the answer Shu Qing came up with after repeated and careful consideration.
"So... there's still a 60% chance that I'll die from the cold poison in five years."
Shu Qing nodded, and then added: "I will do my best."
Mu Rong smiled and said, "I understand. It's getting late, Mr. Shu, please go back."
Shu Qing was very worried, but there was no solution if he stayed here, so he retreated.
Just as he was about to step out the door, Mu Rong's voice rang out from behind him: "I hope Mr. Shu will accept my request and keep this secret for the rest of his life... no matter what the consequences may be."
Shu Qing didn't look back and pushed the door open. Because every time Mr. Shu took the Marquis's pulse, Mu Yi and others were not allowed to get close.
When Shu Qing walked out of the yard, Mu Yi hurriedly came up to him and asked, "How is the Marquis?"
"It's just... I caught a cold. Mr. Yi, don't worry." Shu Qing replied.
Is this really the case?
Mu Yi looked at Shu Qing, who looked relaxed, and his confusion grew even more intense. "The Marquis has always been in good health, but after detoxifying the County Lady, his health has deteriorated significantly... Has the toxin in the Marquis' body been completely eliminated?"
Upon hearing this, Shu Qing laughed and said, "Master Yi, do you not trust the Marquis's inner strength? I have never seen a man with deeper inner strength than the Marquis. A mere residual poison is nothing to him. What's more, the Marquis is a first-class military marquis of the Great Zhou. He holds the military defense and safety of the Great Zhou in his hands. How dare he risk his own life? But then again, after all, it took some internal energy to clear the remaining poison for the county lord, so it is reasonable that his physique is a little weak in the short term." Seeing that he was so confident, Mu Yi felt relieved a little.
Indeed... No one can match the Marquis's internal strength.
What was in Miss Xu's body was just some residual poison. Even a woman like her could survive it, let alone the Marquis?
So he bowed and said, "I am sorry for being rude."
Seeing that he stopped asking questions, Shu Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
He fled from the mansion.
