I'm already dressed like a fool, what's wrong with taking the regent into the bridal chamb

As Zhang Yao spoke, she cried out loudly, but with restraint, not wanting to scare the child.

Seeing this, Wen Qingzhi immediately retreated.

Let them handle their own household affairs.

When I came out, I met Sun Shinan who looked surprised and happy.

The moment he saw Wen Qingzhi, he immediately walked up to her.

"Miss Wen!"

Sun Shinan bowed, "Just now I took the Prince Regent's pulse. It was stable, a little weak, but not a problem. The effects of the previous poisoning were almost gone. It shows that the young lady has superb medical skills!"

He was deeply shocked. He had lived for almost forty years, but this was the first time he heard of someone surviving after being poisoned by a five-step snake!

This poison is a secret poison of the Northern Frontier. It is highly toxic and has no antidote. Anyone who is infected will die, making it one of the most ruthless methods used in the Northern Frontier.

If this poison can be controlled and eliminated, then they in Beiming will no longer have to fear Beijiang in the future!

"Miss Wen, may I have a moment to talk?"

Sun Shinan was eager to discuss this matter with Wen Qingzhi and ignored Feng Junxiao standing behind him.

Wen Qingzhi raised her eyes, looked at Feng Yunxiao, and nodded, "Your Highness, I greet the Regent."

"Ah,"

Feng Junxiao raised his eyebrows, "You are quite brave."

"It seems that every time you see me, you don't properly greet me."

Wen Qingzhi nodded in agreement, "Yes, I haven't learned it."

"..."

No one present had expected this answer.

"It doesn't matter."

Feng Junxiao walked forward and looked down at Wen Qingzhi.

Did she use gardenia incense today?

The sweet but not greasy smell made him feel comfortable.

Wen Qingzhi stepped back appropriately, keeping a distance from him, and heard Feng Yunxiao's rather charming voice from above her head, "This king is grateful for your life-saving grace. As a token of my gratitude, I will grant you a foster nanny."

"Lin Lang, go find it and have it delivered tomorrow."

"No need..."

Wen Qingzhi never thought about learning any rules. With her current status, as long as she didn't offend the emperor, nothing would happen.

There are only a few people in the mansion, and she is the master. What rules should she learn?

"Your servant...is used to being undisciplined. If I were to learn now, I'm afraid it would be too late."

Wen Qingzhi politely declined, "Besides, I'm the only master in the mansion. It doesn't matter whether I learn the rules or not. I have nowhere to go."

"Miss Wen will eventually get married. If she doesn't behave properly, won't she be criticized by her husband's family?"

These words brought a touch of emotion to Wen Qingzhi's usually cold face.

She raised her head and looked at Feng Junxiao, trying to find some clues in his eyes.

She said, "I am the only one left in the Marquis' Mansion, and I will not marry."

Feng Yunxiao was stunned, but didn't take it seriously. "All women in this world have to get married. Besides, haven't we found your brother's son? He will definitely inherit the Marquisate in the future. If you don't get married, will you stay in the mansion forever?"

"Even if I don't stay in the Marquis' Mansion, I still have somewhere to go."

Wen Qingzhi met his gaze without any fear. "When my nephew grows up, I can build a new residence for him. If you don't need a man, I can find someone to marry into my family."

"There are many precedents for marrying into a family, and Bei Ming also allows it. So..."

She laughed twice and said, "I will not marry, I will only find someone to marry into my family."

"Humph!"

Feng Junxiao suppressed the smile on his face, flicked his sleeves and turned around, "Marrying into a wife's family? Only useless people would think of that."

"Really? I don't think so."

Wen Qingzhi disagreed with what he said, "Whether it's marrying a wife or marrying into the man's family, it's their own choice. People are born equal. Men have the right to marry and support their wives. Women also have the right to support men. There is no conflict."

"This has nothing to do with success. After all, everyone wants to get something for nothing."

"Nonsense."

Feng Junxiao didn't expect that Wen Qingzhi would be so bold and speak so outrageously.

"Then...we'll just wait and see?"

"It all depends on whether I can find a good-for-nothing man."

She left with a smile, taking Sun Shinan and others with her.

Wen Qingzhi is used to taking the initiative in her own hands, so even if she is looking for a man, she will look for someone who can be easily controlled by her.

Or, multiple tools for venting.

"What does Doctor Sun want to say to me?"

After leaving the yard, Wen Qingzhi asked Sun Shinan.

Sun Shinan hadn't recovered from the shock of the conversation just now. When she called out, he uttered "Huh?" and spoke in confusion.

"I want to ask Miss Wen about the antidote for the five-step snake venom."

He returned to normal and immediately stepped forward, but stopped a meter away from her and asked, "Excuse me, I'd like to know the specific ratio of the medicine."

"Don't misunderstand me. I'm not trying to steal your work. Rather, if this antidote is used by the soldiers of the Northern Ming Border Army, they won't have to worry about those bugs in the Northern Frontier using poison the next time there's a war!"

"I don't need to ask about the specific types of medicines. I beg you to do this for the benefit of our Beiming soldiers!"

"you--"

Chang Baicao was almost angry to death. How could there be such a stupid person?

Before he could curse, he heard Wen Qingzhi say, "You are quite presumptuous."

"..."

"Even if I tell you, you still can't make this antidote. Do you know how much effort, money, and resources went into making the antidote you hold in your hand?"

Wen Qingzhi stared at him and stepped forward. "With Beiming's current strength, let alone a border army, they can't even produce one like this."

She was right. In this era, without such advanced equipment, data, etc., it would be impossible to do it.

Wen Qingzhi suddenly thought, was it too hasty for her to use this as a bargaining chip?

Sun Shinan was confused, but he understood that Wen Qingzhi had no reason to fool him.

Because in the three hundred years since the founding of Beiming, no one has yet created an antidote for the five-step snake venom...

"May I ask where this antidote comes from, young lady?"

Sun Shinan asked gloomily.

"Given by the immortals."

Wen Qingzhi's voice was light and airy. At this moment, she had decided that anything that could not be explained would be blamed on the gods.

This answer left Sun Shinan silent.

Yes, if it was not given by the immortals, where did it come from?

"I've also heard some rumors about Miss Wen. I wonder if... Miss Wen could ask the immortal to provide more of this—"

Before he could finish his words, Wen Qingzhi suddenly turned around and gave him a cold look, interrupting him.

"Why?"

"what?"

Sun Shinan answered in surprise.

"Everyone under heaven is a descendant of the gods. Why would they only favor the North Sea?"

"This……"

"How much benefit have you, Bei Ming, given to the gods?"

"It seems... never."

Sun Shinan thought about it. Beiming hadn't held a ceremony to offer sacrifices to heaven since the last emperor. The emperor at that time said that he was heaven and there was no need to worship others.

As a result...there have been constant wars in the Beiming region for decades.

The last time he offered sacrifices to the heavens was when Feng Yunxiao was born...
