Poisonous Goddess: I'm just lazing around in the mortal realm.

After a long while, Haojing finally nodded and said...

"Okay, I'll find some time to go and take a look. Don't worry too much about others, after all, your leg injury is quite serious."

Haojing glanced at Thirteen's legs and thought to himself that Cangling's secret medicine was extremely effective. He was afraid that in less than a month, she would be able to walk, run, and jump.

He turned to look at Thirteen, who hadn't touched the food he'd brought, and hurriedly asked...

"Is it because the food I brought didn't suit your taste?"

The food on that table was all obtained by him after spending half a day at Fengya Zhai. These things alone cost him three taels of silver!

He hasn't even asked Shen Mu for the money yet!

Thirteen lifted the lid on the table and then put it back on.

"It's not that it's not to my liking, it's just that Zhou Jinghuai had his men send me a lot of food, and I'm already too full," she said with an embarrassed smile. She hadn't expected that Zhou Jinghuai, despite his sharp tongue, had such a kind heart.

Seeing that she was injured, he gave the gatekeeper a silver ingot and asked him to bring in the food sent from the Zhou residence every day.

She had no idea that the chefs at the Zhou family's residence were so skilled; all the dishes they made suited her taste perfectly. She indulged herself and ate until she was too full.

Sure enough, Haojing arrived right after we finished breakfast.

"You..."

Hao Jing had intended to scold her, but then remembered Shen Mu's instructions and awkwardly changed the subject, saying, "That Young Master Zhou is really good to you!"

He was so angry that he was grinding his teeth to powder. Zhou Jinghuai had only brought him a few meals, yet Thirteen couldn't forget him.

The medicine that my master took out is not comparable to those ordinary things!

Due to its unique terrain, the Azure Feather Divine Realm has a Valley of Medicine Kings.

Medicine King Valley is rich in rare and exotic flowers and herbs, with hundreds of kinds of medicinal plants. It has existed for thousands of years since the beginning of time.

The secret medicine was extracted from those herbs imbued with spiritual energy, and only one such herb could be obtained in a hundred years.

This secret medicine was originally meant to be reserved for Emperor Cangling Zesuo to save his life, but Zesuo gave him this one because he was worried that Shen Mu would lose his divine power after descending to the mortal realm!

But Shen Mu gave it to this ungrateful wretch!

Haojing grew angrier the more he thought about it, and his anger intensified as he looked at Thirteen's indifferent expression. Helpless, he had to obey Shen Mu's arrangement and keep the truth buried inside!

Seeing Haojing's angry expression, Thirteen assumed it was because he hadn't appreciated his kindness and quickly explained...

"I'll save this food for lunch, you don't need to be so angry." She put the food back in the box; after all, she was already very grateful that Haojing had come to see her on behalf of Shen Mu!

After all, she heard from Zhou Jinghuai that Haojing had set her broken leg!

Haojing glared at Thirteen, and even though he was furious, he could only swallow his anger and say...

"You're really something!" He turned his head away, refusing to look at her.

Thirteen didn't think too deeply about it, but remembered that Pei Suisui was injured, and hurriedly asked...

"And then what? Did the emperor not punish the fourth princess?" She felt that the emperor of Nanyang looked down on her and would not blame his daughter for the fourth princess taking private punishment against her.

On the contrary, it was Pei Suisui.

That's the daughter of the Prime Minister of Nanyang!

Hao Jing's thoughts were disrupted by Thirteen, and he composed himself and said...

"She was confined to her quarters by imperial decree. It was said that she was to be betrothed to the Khan of the Western Regions."

There are no secrets in the palace.

The emperor's words yesterday were already known to Shen Mu, who was recuperating at the Shen residence.

The people they brought from Cangling were spread throughout almost the entire Nanyang.

"She's grounded? Because of Pei Suisui?" Thirteen rubbed his leg. Although Haojing had helped him up in time, it would still take several months before he could walk again.

She is already content as long as she is no longer subjected to vigilante justice.

Hao Jing recalled his subordinates' report from yesterday, and a smile suddenly appeared on his lips.

"You might not believe it, but it's because of my master."

At first, he also thought the matter was exaggerated, until he returned to the palace yesterday to deliver the palace documents for his master and passed by the carriage where the fourth princess was imprisoned.

I happened to overhear the Fourth Princess complaining about the Emperor and wanting to defy the imperial decree to refuse the marriage!

Her words were earnest, and every sentence revolved around Shen Mu. It turned out that the Fourth Princess had indeed angered the Emperor of Nanyang because of her infatuation with Shen Mu.

Thirteen, upon hearing this, became somewhat curious. She was already dissatisfied with the hasty decision to confine the Fourth Princess, and upon hearing Haojing's explanation, she stared at Haojing in astonishment.

"What do you mean 'because of Shen Mu'? Does the Emperor not know that Pei Suisui was nearly killed by the Fourth Princess?"

Thirteen was speechless, thinking to himself, "How could Duan Yuan, a dignified ruler of a country, still protect his own daughter?"

The princess was angry and blamed because she was infatuated with a man? That sounds incredibly far-fetched.

Haojing shook his head with some regret. "This is not something we can comment on."

After all, their subordinates were watching the Pei family and reporting that Pei Zhiheng had not left the mansion since returning yesterday. As usual, he finished his paperwork in the study and then rested. He also did not miss the morning court session today.

Pei Zhiheng's attitude clearly indicated that he had accepted the loss this time.

Even the parties involved have compromised like this, so what can these bystanders say?

Thirteen couldn't help but sneer, "That's really strange."

She suddenly felt a glimmer of hope for the King of Nanyang, who was willing to exhaust most of the Nanyang treasury just to pursue immortality and build the Bright Moon Palace altar.

What kind of good person could he be?

Even though she held the Nanyang Emperor in high regard.

Suddenly, some strange noises came from outside the cell, and the two looked out.

A woman wearing a veiled hat and carrying a wooden box in her hand slowly walked into Thirteen's cell.

Thirteen couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Was she living in a prison cell? How come anyone who came to visit her acted as if they were in their own home, while the guards outside were just for show?

The woman removed her veil, and Thirteen paused, his voice trembling with surprise.

"You are……"

The veiled hat rested in the woman's hand, revealing a cool and aloof demeanor. Pei Nanyue slowly bowed to Thirteen.

"Greetings, Mr. Thirteen. I am Pei Suisui's older sister, Pei Nanyue."

Hao Jing subconsciously touched his nose, gave Shisan a wink, and quickly retreated. He had felt that the girl wearing the veiled hat looked somewhat familiar.

It turns out to be the young lady who visited Shen Mu at the Shen residence yesterday. Today, seeing the eldest daughter of the Pei family in the Dali Temple dungeon again, she's probably here to question Thirteen.

Although he had already promised Shen Mu and didn't want to tell Thirteen the truth, he couldn't stop others from standing up for him.

After all, Pei Suisui was blamed by the Fourth Princess and pushed off a cliff, seriously injured and unconscious, because of the Thirteenth Princess.

Thirteen's face was full of shame, and he quickly nodded to Pei Nanyue.

"Excuse me, Miss Pei. My leg has just been reattached, so it's a bit inconvenient."

"It's alright," Pei Nanyue said softly.

She subtly observed the young man before her, never expecting that the miracle doctor she had always heard her sister speak of was actually just a callow youth.

This young man saved the Third Prince's life and also saved his sister's life at Fengyazhai.

However, judging from the injuries all over Thirteen's body, Pei Nanyue believed that they were also the work of the Fourth Princess.

Thirteen looked at Pei Nanyue's somewhat deep gaze and her heart skipped a beat. She vaguely guessed that Pei Nanyue had come to confront her because of Pei Suisui.

She watched as Pei Nanyue unfolded the food box in her hand, which was filled with bottles and jars.

She couldn't help but look at Pei Nanyue with surprise.

"Miss Pei, what does this mean?"

Could it be that he personally delivered poison to her?

But how could any poison in the mortal realm kill her?

Pei Nanyue's lips curled into a meaningful smile.

"These are all poisons, sir. Please choose one. After all, you almost harmed the youngest daughter of our Prime Minister Pei."
