Chapter 115

Qin Zhao told Yu Qingzhu her purpose in coming here.

Soon, the two of them left the room and returned to the lobby.

Liu Yu came up and asked, "Doctor, how is Miss Qin?"

Yu Qingzhu replied, "Nothing serious, just drink medicine and she will recover in a few days."

She then added, "Brewing the medicine is more troublesome. You must pay attention to controlling the fire.

To prevent the medicine from losing effectiveness, the same person must brew it with the same heat for seven consecutive days.

If someone careless makes a mistake, the whole process has to start over until the medicine takes effect."

Liu Yu immediately said, "Miss Qin's injuries were caused by me, so I will be responsible for brewing Qin's medicine!"

"Then I can rest assured," said Yu Qingzhu.

She then gave the medicine to Liu Yu.

Liu Yu asked for Qin Zhao's address and said he would deliver the medicine on time every day before leaving.

Qin Zhao thanked Yu Qingzhu, "Thank you, sister. I will repay you."

Yu Qingzhu replied, "Just don't cause me too much trouble, that will be repayment enough."

"Your younger sister will heed your teaching."

After bidding farewell to Yu Qingzhu, Qin Zhao and Cong Han returned to the manor.

As soon as they entered the gate, they sensed something wrong with the atmosphere in the manor!

The servants who saw Qin Zhao bowed with trepidation.

Qin Zhao stopped a maid and asked, "What happened?"

The little maid said in tears, "Your Highness, Sister Ling Long, she was beaten and injured!

We don't know who did it. When we saw Sister Ling Long, she had already lost consciousness."

Qin Zhao anxiously asked, "Where is Ling Long now?"

"In her room."

Qin Zhao hurried towards Ling Long's courtyard. Cong Han followed beside her.

In Ling Long's room, three maids were taking care of her. They tried to kneel down, but were stopped by Qin Zhao, "Exempt from ceremony. Tell Us Ling Long's condition."

Xue Yan said, "Your Highness, the doctor who usually comes to the manor has gone home to visit relatives. He will be back tomorrow."

Qin Zhao was a little angry. "Why didn't you get a doctor from outside then?"

"Ling Long sister usually handles these things..."

"Nevermind, I will take a look myself."

Qin Zhao went to Ling Long's bedside and sat down, taking her pulse.

She found that Ling Long was overfatigued and anemic, among other problems. The external injuries were not too serious, but her left forearm had a minor fracture.

Qin Zhao sighed as she looked at Ling Long's bruised face.

Just then, Ling Long's weak voice came, "Your Highness, I'm fine."

She slowly opened her eyes, moved to tears seeing Qin Zhao's worried gaze upon her.

Or maybe it was the pain.

She struggled to get up, but Qin Zhao pressed her down and said, "Exempt from ceremony.

Tell Us who did this to you."

Ling Long wiped her tears and said, "I only saw that they wore black clothes and had their faces covered, then I lost consciousness."

Qin Zhao asked, "Where did you faint?"

Ling Long replied, "Outside Miss Qi Yan's courtyard."

Qin Zhao's heart quivered, but knowing 502 had not warned her, she calmed down again.

Qin Zhao told the maids, "After Ling Long can get up, have the kitchen make some restorative dishes for her. Do this every day until she recovers."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Qin Zhao went to Qi Yan Su Luo's courtyard and pushed open the door to her room. It was empty.

"502, where did she go?"

replied, "Her brother took her away. She is safe for now."

Qin Zhao walked out of the room and heard movement on the roof!

Shen Xue immediately landed in front of her and knelt down, "This subordinate has failed in his duty and did not protect Miss Qi Yan well. Please punish me, Your Highness."

Qin Zhao closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "Tell me the details."

Shen Xue said, "Seven top masters broke into Miss Qi Yan's courtyard and kidnapped her.

This subordinate chased them to a forest outside the capital city, but was blocked by three of them and lost Miss Qi Yan's trail."

Qin Zhao snapped her fingers, and a woman in a purple-black tight suit with her face covered emerged from the shadows.

She was Ling Yuan, ranked third on the List of Heroes in the World, specializing in tracking and investigation.

"Ling Yuan, go investigate Qi Yan Su Luo's whereabouts.

If you can't find her after fifteen days, stop looking and return to my side."

Ling Yuan: "Yes, Your Highness."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ling Yuan disappeared without a trace. Her qinggong [lightness skill] had reached the level of mirage.

Seeing Shen Xue's arm bleeding, Qin Zhao said, "Go treat your wound first. Leave this matter to Ling Yuan now."

Shen Xue acknowledged the order.

Cong Han said, "Your Highness, could the ones who kidnapped Qi Yan Su Luo be the same group who assassinated the Emperor?

That night, I noticed the leader of the assassins seemed to glance at Qi Yan Su Luo!"

Qin Zhao: "If that's the case, the identities of those people would be very interesting."

The next day, at the Spring Breeze Building.

"My Lord, come, time to take your medicine."

Nangong Ling approached Qin Zhao holding the medicine. Qin Zhao shrank into the armchair, her face scrunched up, every cell in her body screaming refusal. "Don't come over!"

Nangong Ling ignored Qin Zhao's shouts, "My Lord, be good. You're sick so you have to take medicine!"

Qin Zhao shook her head. "I told you, I was lying to Liu Yu. I'm fine!"

But Nangong Ling persisted, "You've made my Spring Breeze Building reek of medicine, driving customers away.

My Lord, you must drink the medicine to make amends, no?"

Qin Zhao now deeply regretted giving the Spring Breeze Building's address to Liu Yu, but it was too late.

With both coaxing and threats, Nangong Ling made Qin Zhao finish the medicine.

Qin Zhao lay limply on the armchair, thinking: The killing power of a beauty is too great!

Just a few sweet words were enough to render her completely powerless.

asked, "Since you don't want to drink the medicine, why not just directly give the address of Zhao Yang Princess Manor?

No one there would dare force you to drink medicine."

"After all I'm still a princess, a very ambitious princess at that. If I'm found socializing with a commoner, it would bring unnecessary trouble."

: "I see."

After finishing the medicine, Qin Zhao got up to take her leave. "I'm going now."

Nangong Ling tried to keep her there, "My Lord, won't you stay the night?

I've learned some new massage techniques recently. I guarantee they'll make you reluctant to leave."

Qin Zhao said, "When you can say things like that without blushing, I'll stay."

Nangong Ling: "..."

She thought she had hidden it so well, how did her Lord see through her?

Time flew by, and soon it was May 15th.

The day Qin Zhao had arranged to meet Imperial Astronomer Wei Chen.

Early in the morning, Qin Zhao appeared at the entrance of the Imperial Observatory.

A gray-clothed child came out to open the door, then walked to Qin Zhao's side. In a tender voice he asked, "Are you Zhao Yang Princess?"

"Yes."

The gray-clothed child gestured for her to enter. "My master is waiting inside. Please go in alone, Your Highness."

Qin Zhao nodded and headed inward.

As soon as she crossed the threshold, the surroundings abruptly changed. It had been daytime, but became night!

The light was extremely dim, she couldn't see her fingers.

Qin Zhao felt her way forward. Gradually, it changed back to daytime.

The sky was gray and misty.

Qin Zhao waved away the mist, and a modern three-story villa appeared before her eyes!

On the stairs stood a woman with her back to Qin Zhao, wearing a white moonlight dress!

Qin Zhao called out, "Who are you?"

The woman turned to reveal a face of absolute beauty!

She only said: "I am Nan Yue..."
