She just wanted a potted flower, but she had nothing to enjoy this blessing. Seeing her silent, the courtesans who liked the Oiran grew angry; they could not have it, yet this person had it and did not want it—wasn't that a blatant humiliation?
One by one, they looked ready to rise in indignation. Yun Zhi Yue, quick-witted, pointed to the third floor and said, "You are fine, but I am a broken sleeve. There is someone I care for up there, so do not pull me into this."
The guests were stunned. Taking advantage of Ning Xin's daze, Yun Zhi Yue slipped away and dashed upstairs. Under the gaze of many, she plopped down into Luo Bai's arms while holding the potted plant.
With a beaming smile, she said, "In our home, I am extremely happy at night; it was worth it for you to take me out to play."
With a beautiful woman in his embrace and her charming smile, even Luo Bai, a eunuch, could not remain indifferent. Momentarily dazzled by her radiant smile, he held her up and said, "After you."
[Strategy points gained. Hehe, Second Brother's lack of reaction is somewhat disappointing.]
Seeing the two of them leave together while pulling at each other, many guests showed disdain and discomfort. A broken sleeve still visiting a brothel?
Wen Ningmo feared that Feng Yu would inquire about which unfortunate soul Yun Zhi Yue was married to and hurriedly made an excuse to slip away. This person was not to be trifled with; everyone knew why the Crown Prince remained in the capital—no one dared to speak out.
If things went wrong, he would be the Crown Prince tomorrow; how could one speak lightly with such a person? It would only bring disaster in the future.
Luo Bai took Yun Zhi Yue out of the marketplace and then used lightness skills to leap through the air. However, when they got close to the palace, he suddenly stopped.
"After following us all this way, why don't you show yourself?"
The area was quiet under the hazy moonlight when a woman dressed in men's clothing appeared silently.
Taking the initiative, she said, "Do not misunderstand; Ning Xin means no harm. I followed you two only because my life is at stake. I ask that you listen to me."
At first, she hadn't noticed anything amiss, but upon closer observation, she saw through the disguise.
Ning Xin stepped closer and respectfully bowed. "Bai Xiaojie must know of Shihua by name and understand its nature. To be honest, I am afflicted by a rare poison and need Shihua petals for an antidote."
Having begged in vain for a glimpse of its blooming season and seeing death approaching, she could only hold onto a glimmer of hope and try her luck everywhere.
She pleaded for compassion from the young lady: "When this flower blooms, please grant me a petal. I have nothing else to offer in return except for Fengyue Pavilion; I would gladly give all to you."
Yun Zhi Yue was taken aback. "Fengyue Pavilion in every major city is run by you? Truly, one cannot judge by appearances."
At that moment, Ning Xin had already removed her veil from when she played the guqin; her delicate face was gentle and graceful like the music itself—completely unrecognizable as the owner of several brothels.
Taking Ning Xin's hand, she felt the pulse. Although she had no medical skills, she was quite knowledgeable about poison. After all, the Poison Technique relied heavily on medicinal herbs, which were all plants—her area of expertise.
Tsk, tsk. She wondered who could be so malicious as to mix several toxic herbs together; it was likely that even the poisoner couldn't resolve it. The poison was cold and sinister, causing spasms in the veins and excruciating pain whenever it flared up. Based on the time of poisoning, there was still half a lifespan left. Coincidentally, I can make Shihua bloom within half that time.
Ning Xin was overjoyed and immediately knelt down, pleading, "Please, Miss, save my life!"
Holding Shihua, Yun Zhi Yue said meaningfully, "To save your life is to save my own. I have no need for Fengyue Pavilion, but I require your loyalty in return."
Of course, mere words are not enough. You must have already noticed that I am proficient in the Poison Technique. When I cure you, I will also poison you again. Naturally, if you do not betray me, the poison will never act up. Do you understand?
Without hesitation, Ning Xin replied, "If half a lifespan is all I can have, what choice do I have? Your subordinate Ning Xin pays her respects to you."
Yun Zhi Yue felt increasingly pleased. In a brothel like this, news traveled fast. She handed Ning Xin a brocade pouch and said, "This medicine can suppress your poison; take one pill every ten days to alleviate the pain."
I cannot reveal my identity or meet with you often. He is Eunuch Supervisor Luo Bai. If he truly exists, find a way to contact him.
