Chapter 1266 - 562: Turning Their Trick Against Them (2)

Li Xiangrou had never seen the Medicine Spirit before. Watching him appear on Ning Qi’s shoulder, she couldn’t help but show a curious expression.

”I am the Medicine Spirit, and this is my master.”

”I helped you with your illness last night!”

”So, it’s right for you to thank my master!”

The Medicine Spirit flew joyfully in the void, explaining last night’s situation to Li Xiangrou.

”Well, thank you!”

Li Xiangrou thanked the Medicine Spirit.

”You’re welcome. You’re a friend of my master, so that makes you my friend too.”

The Medicine Spirit waved cheerfully, then turned his gaze to Li Xiangrou: ”Princess, when exactly did someone administer the Charm Medicine to you?”

”Did you feel nothing during the entire process?”

”I don’t know, I just had some tea with Wang Mang and others.”

”Then I remember nothing.”

Li Xiangrou shook her head gently, looked around the room, and continued, ”Could it be that he tampered with something in my chamber on purpose?”

”Possibly.”

Before the Medicine Spirit could say anything, Ning Qi spoke first.

”Ning Qi, have you discovered something?”

Li Xiangrou immediately became curious.

”Yes, look at the flowers in your room.”

Ning Qi pointed at the flowers in the chamber and continued, ”These flowers are all blooming with vibrant colors, and as you came in, they left a potion on you.”

”Without you knowing, you walked right into their trap.”

”When the potion comes into contact with the pollen from these flowers, it triggers the effects of the Charm Medicine.”

”Furthermore, the mixture of pollen from all these flowers can amplify the drug’s potency.”

”So, they had planned this from the beginning.”

”Outrageous, I’ll go settle accounts with them now.”

Li Xiangrou was instantly furious upon hearing this.

As she spoke, she was about to confront them.

”Hold on.”

However, Ning Qi directly stopped her.

”Why? I want to teach them a lesson; even at this point, they dare to do this to me.”

”And using such lowly means.”

Li Xiangrou became more indignant as she spoke, her eyes full of anger.

”These small fries are of no use.”

”Once we reach the Imperial City and eliminate the biggest threat, the rest will fall apart.”

Ning Qi smiled, ”We’ve come across such situations often enough; there’s no need to care about it anymore.”

”Ning Qi, you’re right. In that case, I won’t bother with it now.”

”Once I return and ascend the throne, I’ll settle accounts with them one by one!”

After listening to Ning Qi, Li Xiangrou nodded earnestly, ”I absolutely won’t let them continue to act so arrogantly.”

”Exactly, that’s the spirit. As long as we’re strong enough, they won’t have any chance to strike.”

Ning Qi nodded in encouragement, ”So, let’s move on now.”

”We can discuss everything once we get there!”

”Right!”

Li Xiangrou agreed and then immediately followed him out the door.

”Your Highness.”

”...”

As she stepped out, Commander Li came over with people to pay respects.

”General Li, gather the troops; we’re ready to depart.”

Li Xiangrou took a look at Commander Li, then continued, ”No more delays; this time, we’ll make haste.”

What she saw earlier had already chilled her heart more deeply.

She once thought of letting them off, but now it seems unnecessary.

In the face of absolute power, there’s no need for any hesitations.

It’s just like her royal sister now; with immense power, she can bully whoever she pleases.

”Yes, Your Highness!”

Commander Li agreed and then turned to his guards to say, ”Pass down the order, gather outside the City Lord’s Mansion, we’re ready to depart.”

”Yes.”

”...”

The guards took the order and respectfully withdrew.

They hurried off to inform the others.

Ning Qi watched them leave and then turned his attention to Commander Li, ”Did anyone suspicious show up last night?”

”No, we’ve been patrolling constantly here, it’s quite safe.”

Commander Li shook his head at Ning Qi’s question and asked, ”Master Ning, did you discover something?”

”That’s right, someone secretly drugged the princess!”

Ning Qi nodded seriously, ”So, it’s not suitable to stay here any longer.”

”What? Then let’s go settle accounts with Wang Mang!”

”That bastard, daring to allow his men to drug us!”

Commander Li was furious after hearing him and was about to confront Wang Mang.

”No need.”

”These people aren’t worth mobilizing our forces.”

This time, Li Xiangrou shook her head and continued, ”Let’s go, getting back to the Imperial City as soon as possible is most important.”

”Your Highness, this...”

Commander Li still seemed unwilling to give up.

”Your princess has grown; just listen to her, it’s right.”

Ning Qi gave Commander Li a look, signaling him to let it go.

”Your Highness, should we inform him?”

Commander Li grit his teeth, choosing not to pursue the recent events further.

However, he thought of something and hurriedly asked.

”Just give him a heads-up, but don’t make any fuss.”

Li Xiangrou gave him a look and said seriously, ”This matter, pretend it never happened! Understand?”

”Understood!”

”Then I’ll go now.”

Commander Li agreed, then turned and hastily left.

After he left, Li Xiangrou looked at Ning Qi.

”Ning Qi, let’s go too!”

She then proactively suggested.

”Alright! Let’s go!”

Ning Qi said nothing further and led the way out first after agreeing.

Li Xiangrou sighed softly, then followed along.

”Master, this princess seems a bit disappointed still.”

The Medicine Spirit observed Ning Qi curiously.

Their conversation was through Divine Sense; no one else could hear it.

”That’s inevitable.”

Ning Qi nodded and continued, ”After all, being harmed by those closest to her—who could bear that?”

”Master, I actually feel she’s quite pitiful.”

”Being harmed by one’s own family.”

The Medicine Spirit showed some sympathy, glanced back, and continued, ”If it were me, I wouldn’t want to go back either—being free outside is so much better.”

”Each person has their aspirations; perhaps when you reach her status, you might feel differently.”

Ning Qi looked at the Medicine Spirit and then resumed their journey.

Without realizing it, they’d already reached outside the City Lord’s Mansion.

By this time, the guards had already brought the horses over.

Many people were chatting about something, appearing quite happy.

After all, having been out for so long, coming back alive was the most important thing.

Returning means they would soon see their families too.

”Your Highness!”

”...”

Seeing Li Xiangrou emerge, everyone came forward respectfully to pay their respects.

”No need for formalities.”

Li Xiangrou raised her hand slightly and then continued, ”Has Commander Li come out yet?”

She hadn’t seen Commander Li when she stepped out, so she asked.

”Your Highness, not yet.”

Someone immediately responded to say so.

”Alright, once he comes out, we’ll be ready to set off!”

”Everyone, check the carriages.”

Li Xiangrou nodded slightly and issued further commands.

”Yes!”

”As you command.”

”...”

The guards responded and then began preparing busily.

Ning Qi and Li Xiangrou waited patiently for Commander Li to come out.

After a short while, Commander Li finally walked out from the mansion’s entrance.

There were several people following him.

Among them was Wang Mang, along with a few others who had appeared with him yesterday.

”Your Highness, leaving so hurriedly?”

Wang Mang hurried over, showing a bit of regret.

”Yes, there’s still a lot to handle once we return.”

Li Xiangrou had already put the past behind her.

Nothing on her face seemed amiss, making Wang Mang believe he had covered his tracks flawlessly.

”Your Highness, how about having lunch before you go?”

Wang Mang was still unwilling to give up and continued to persuade them.
