The person was silent for a moment before slowly speaking, "Even if she doesn't die, with my own abilities, I will become the most powerful female doctor. But you, on the other hand, may not just want to teach her a lesson. From what you said, it seems you want her life!"

Gu Lanxin pinched her wrist tightly, and a hint of impatience flashed in her eyes.

She never expected that the rough woman in front of her would be so cautious.

Instead, she seemed a little anxious and revealed flaws repeatedly.

She took a deep breath and said, "Let's be frank. I'm after Marquis Zhan Yi, and I want to be his first wife. So, Lin Yiwan, this dog that's standing in my way, must die!"

The woman's expression instantly became calm. She reached out for the teapot, poured a cup of cold tea, put it to her mouth and slowly took a sip.

After swallowing it, she said, "My name is Chen Xiyue!"

Gu Lanxin also introduced herself: "My name is Gu Lanxin!"

Chen Xiyue nodded: "You want to kill her, do you have any good plans?"

Gu Lanxin couldn't help but roll her eyes secretly. If she had any plans, why would she come to this pharmacy?

Hasn't it been put into action long ago?

But she didn't dare show her dissatisfaction on her face.

She spoke awkwardly, "The Prince's Mansion is heavily guarded. I really don't know where to start. She just gave birth and rarely leaves the house!"

Chen Xiyue lowered her eyes and pondered: "Then do you know the people around her?"

Gu Lanxin was about to shake her head when she suddenly remembered something. She quickly said, "She also has a young girl named Lin Xiaoruan who has just started studying medicine. She often goes out to buy herbs for her!"

Chen Xiyue's eyes suddenly flashed with murderous intent, and she said contemptuously: "Then let's start with her!"

She casually pulled out a bottle of medicinal powder from her purse and said, "When you see her, sprinkle the powder on her. Then, she will naturally attract some creatures to the Li Palace. If she gets close to Lin Yiwan, she will die, because those creatures really like women who are exposed to herbs all year round!"

Gu Lanxin couldn't help but ask curiously: "What on earth is this?"

Chen Xiyue glared at her. "Why are you asking so many questions? Curiosity kills the cat. Don't you understand such a simple truth?"

Gu Lanxin nodded immediately: "I understand, I'm leaving now!"

After saying that, she left quickly.

As soon as she got into her carriage, the maid who had been waiting there asked anxiously, "Miss, what took you so long? Let's go back home quickly. If the lady finds out, she'll be furious again!"

Gu Lanxin interrupted impatiently: "Why are you replying? I have something important to do. Let's go to the Lin Family Pharmacy. I want to see someone!"

The maid tried to persuade him, "Miss, have you forgotten what Madam told you? She told you not to provoke Madam Hou, lest you bring disaster to the entire Gu family!"

Gu Lanxin raised her hand and slapped her hard: "Shut up, what do you think it's your turn as a slave to interrupt me when I want to do something? If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will sell you to a brothel!"

The maid covered her swollen cheeks and dared not say a word!

Gu Lanxin ordered the driver to go to the Lin family pharmacy, and sure enough, she saw Lin Xiaoruan discussing herbs with the shopkeeper.

After being raised for more than a month, the little girl became more and more cute.

She carefully put the herbs that Lin Yiwan needed into her purse and then hurried out.

Gu Lanxin rushed over and knocked the little girl off balance.

Fortunately, she held the purse tightly, otherwise the herbs would have been scattered on the ground.

She subconsciously asked: "Miss, don't you look at the road?"

Gu Lanxin said awkwardly: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. Are you okay?"

After saying that, he quickly stepped forward to support Lin Xiaoruan and helped her brush off the dust on her body.

Lin Xiaoruan quickly stepped back and said in a distant manner, "I'm fine. Please remember to watch your way next time!"

A vicious smile flashed across Gu Lanxin's lips, and she slowly said, "Don't worry, little girl. I will definitely not bump into anyone again!"

Lin Xiaoruan didn't care anymore, avoided her and quickly walked out of the pharmacy.

Looking at her back, Gu Lanxin raised the corners of her lips with pride.

She murmured softly, "Lin Yiwan, I can't wait to hear the good news from Prince Li's Mansion. This time, you will definitely not escape!"

The more Lin Xiaoruan walked, the more she felt something was wrong. She always felt like something was following her.

She turned around suddenly, but saw nothing.

She couldn't help but feel worried. Now that she was away from the palace, things were no longer normal. With three babies at home, there couldn't be any mishaps.

She narrowed her eyes and quickly went into an alley.

She walked around the yard and quickly closed the door.

She hid in the house and turned around to look at the door cautiously.

She soon discovered something was wrong. There were quite a few blood bats with triangular heads circling around the door.

She was so frightened that her face turned pale. How could such a thing follow her?

She pinched her fingers hard, using the pain to force herself to calm down quickly.

The buzzing sound in my ears became louder and louder, enough to guess that there were more and more blood bats, almost covering the entire courtyard gate.

Lin Xiaoruan was scared but also very grateful. Fortunately, she came to the small courtyard she rented before. Otherwise, it would be disastrous if she brought these things into Prince Li's Mansion.

She took a deep breath and quickly ran to close the window.

At this moment, a blood bat swooped down towards her face, scaring her so much that she quickly turned her head to avoid it.

"Bang!" The blood bat hit the cabinet and let out a shrill scream.

Lin Xiaoruan rushed over and crushed it into pieces.

At this time, cold sweat had already appeared on her back. She couldn't understand why such an ugly thing would target her?

Time passed minute by minute, and the blood bats guarding outside showed no signs of dispersing.

Perhaps because they had been gathering in the yard, outsiders did not hear any noise.

Lin Xiaoruan couldn't help but feel a little anxious. She hadn't returned to Li Wang Mansion for such a long time, and the lady must be very worried. What should she do?

Just when she was feeling uneasy, Lin Yiwan had already called Ling'er over.

She asked in confusion, "Where's Xiaoruan? If it were this time in the past, she would have retrieved the herbs long ago. Why haven't we seen her yet today?"

Ling'er also found it strange. Lin Xiaoruan was very well behaved and she never ran around.

Unless something unexpected happens!

She quickly said, "I'll go find her right away!"

Lin Yiwan hurriedly instructed, "Take Zi'er with you so you two can take care of each other. Xiaoruan doesn't have any other place to stay in the capital. If you can't find her in the pharmacy, go to the small courtyard she rented before!"

Ling'er naturally recognized it, and she took Zi'er straight to the courtyard.

When the two of them arrived, Zi'er, who was sharp-eyed and sharp-eared, noticed something was wrong.

She quickly put Ling'er behind her and said, "Be careful, I think there's something strange in this yard!"
