Chapter 25 Beautiful and Poisonous

With the system's explanation, Qin Su learned a bit of gossip about the recent events in Prime Minister Qin's harem:

Bai Yueguang's aunt used the excuse of "illness" to get her daughter back from the main courtyard.

The illness was obviously fake, and the stepmother, Madam Zhang, knew it too. So, although she sent the person back, she used the pretext of "praying for blessings" to reduce the expenses of Qingqiu Courtyard.

Aunt Bai Yueguang was naturally angry. She turned around and cried to her "cousin," successfully keeping Prime Minister Qin, who was originally going to find Zhang Shi, from leaving.

[According to the original story, Qin Wanrou will torment you whenever she has free time. This time, she's been imprisoned for so many days, and you still "disobeyed" and went to help her. Her hatred for you has doubled, and she's thinking about how to deal with you. Host, hurry up and think of a way!]

Qin Su smiled slightly: "What's there to think about? Isn't the solution already right here?"

system:【? 】

Then they finally noticed what was written in the input box in front of the host:
Name: Qin Wanrou

Age: 16
Description of the condition: Due to excessive feelings of inferiority, patients often cannot control themselves and thus engage in bullying behavior towards the weaker party.

Reason for application: This behavior may be the patient's attempt to control others to cover up or escape their inferiority complex and gain a false sense of superiority. It is a psychological problem that requires timely intervention and treatment by a doctor.

Expected treatment duration: 6
other:……】

The system seemed a bit confused; it looked at it, but it didn't seem to have looked at it all, so it couldn't help but ask:

[May I ask what the host is doing?]

Qin Su raised an eyebrow and picked up her coffee: "Can't you tell? I'm submitting a treatment application."

System: [The system knows, but what does this application mean?]

Qin Su put down her coffee cup: "What do you mean? Didn't you say that completing the tasks of the [Great Physician System] would reward you with 10 points?"

system:【? ? ? 】

system:【! ! ! 】

The system understands, but it's about to explode: [Host, is it possible to complete a strategy mission and receive a reward of 100 points? 10 points is so little, do you even care?]

Qin Su: "I'd like to see it. Even a few mosquitoes are still meat."

Moreover, and most importantly, which psychologist can resist the temptation of "legally treating idiots"?
The girl smiled, a smile so pure it resembled a swaying poppy—beautiful, yet poisonous.

At this time, Qin Wanrou, whose case was submitted as a "case application," had no idea what she would face next.

Just as the system predicted, the first thing she did upon returning was not to hug her mother and complain, but to prepare to "deal with" Qin Su.

If it weren't already so late, her people would have already come to arrest him.

"Just you wait, Qin Sangsang, if I don't make you pay, I'll change my surname to yours!"

The maid standing to the side hesitated, wanting to remind her mistress: "You are sisters, you share the same surname," but seeing her almost delirious appearance, she silently held back.

Qin Su was just getting ready to sleep when the usually quiet neighboring courtyard suddenly became noisy, filled with voices and bright lights, which even affected her side.

The male protagonist has fallen ill.

The system's tone was serious, while Qin Su's gaze fell on the constantly changing and rising monitoring screen.

The tyrant has fallen ill; he's having a manic episode.

However, it seems that a sedative was used; although the nerve cells were still active, they were gradually calming down.

"What happened?" she asked, her hands already rapidly accessing the [Great Physician System] to search for the medicine she needed.

The system quickly retrieved the information:

The Xia Kingdom sent an envoy to the capital with an extremely arrogant attitude. With the crown prince absent, the emperor sent a tyrant to maintain order.

In this book, the tyrant is portrayed as a "God of War," sweeping across armies and utterly defeating the Xia people on the border, enough to stop a child from crying at night. The originally arrogant Xia envoy's arrogance was indeed diminished upon seeing him.

At the banquet that followed, it is unclear whether the people of Xia had received some information about the tyrant, but they decided to challenge him to a duel.

The tyrant took action, and although he won, his nervous system was damaged. He relapsed upon returning home, and the emperor, fearing discovery by the Xia people, quickly sent him back overnight.

Qin Su also sought out Qi Tian for medicine, and said coldly, "No wonder I said some of his indicators were ridiculously high."

If someone drugged you, then that makes sense.

Qin Su waited silently in the room, while the system monitored the other side according to her request.

Only after the imperial physician and guards left, and the courtyard quieted down, did she get up and walk to the next room.

However, the journey wasn't as smooth as they had imagined; they had barely reached the door when they were stopped—

Liu Ying didn't want to show himself, but seeing that the little girl next door was really fearless and wanted to go into the room, he had no choice but to come out and stop her.
“My master is unwell and his condition is quite bad. If Miss Qin has nothing else to do, please go back.”

Qin Su was startled by the person in front of her: "Who are you...?"

Before she could finish speaking, she heard a deep, painful groan coming from inside. She abruptly looked up at Liu Ying:
"What's wrong with him? He sounds like he's in a lot of pain."

Liu Ying's reply was concise and to the point: "It's just an illness, I'll be fine after a good night's sleep, please go back." She was being very dutiful.

Qin Su stood still, her beautiful eyes filled with worry.

Liu Ying couldn't help but drift off into thought:
She was humiliated by the Seventh Prince so much during the day, wouldn't she be angry and hold a grudge?

"Could you give this to him for me?"

Qin Su suddenly spoke up and handed a pretty little purse to Liu Ying.

Liu Ying was taken aback for a moment, and was about to refuse when she heard her say, "This is a sachet I made, with a recipe for calming the mind, promoting sleep, and helping me to sleep. My mother used it when she had insomnia, and it worked very well."

The girl's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly as she spoke, revealing the tension and worry in her eyes. Looking at him, her gaze was filled with a silent plea.

"This... Master probably won't want it."

For some reason, when Liu Ying said no to those eyes, she felt like she wasn't human, and she felt inexplicably guilty.

No sooner had he finished speaking than another terrifying groan came from inside the room, though it gradually weakened, perhaps because the medicine was taking effect.

The light in the little girl's eyes disappeared: "Okay..."

Liu Ying couldn't explain why, but felt even more guilty.

Just as he was about to give in, Qin Su suddenly shoved the sachet into his hand: "Then I'll give it to you. I'll go back now."

Without waiting for his reaction, she turned and ran towards her own yard.

Liu Ying was completely stunned.

He looked at the sachet in his hand, then at the girl's departing figure, his brows furrowed tightly.

It wasn't until he caught a faint, pleasant fragrance that his previously anxious heart inexplicably calmed down, and he looked at the purse in his hand with some surprise.

After hesitating for a moment, he turned and walked towards the door: "Take this to the imperial physicians and have them check if there's anything wrong with the medicine inside."

System whispers: [Host, did you guess the secret guards would help?]

Qin Su: "No."

It's just a net cast by Neptune, nothing special about that~
