Pampered Consort of the Fragrant Orchard-Chapter 75.4 - The Poison King and the Grape's Bromance (4)

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 finally 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 effect. It would be much more convenient if we have samples of the fire 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 sniffed it, “Indeed, there’s a faint scent of fire 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 fire and ice poison,

she was first very nervous, and then after hearing that the poison has already been temporarily suppressed by Du

Xiao Li, she finally 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 fire 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 five 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 different than his poisons from before. That’s why it took her five

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 flipping 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 first.” 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 finally 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.” Y W ue 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 flying towards herself and shifted to the side, hearing the teacup shatter on the floor. 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…….”

T/N: I feel pretty bad for the third princess lmaoo, she’s not that bad of a person relatively speaking, but she just has

the worst karma. If I were her I’d wake up just to punch my brother, like BRO ARE YOU TRYING TO GET ME

KILLED!!

So I setup a google docs for listing characters for anyone that wants to help. Please read the instructions up top and

just edit however you like. I’ll be using it as a basis for compiling a more organized character list later on. Click here
