Poison Doctor Roaming the Martial World

Chapter 316 Fulfilling the Mission

Song Yin's purpose in sending the hairpin this time was to find an opportunity to get Nalan Lianyi's hair, the kind with the hair follicle intact.

Li Leru's outing and dancing just happened to provide an opportunity.

Songyin's eyes never left the comb in Xiangwan's hand. If there were no hairs with follicles, then she would have to think of another way.

"My sister is so beautiful, no wonder she has won His Highness's favor."

Li Leru stared intently at Nalan Lianyi, her face filled with undisguised jealousy.

Even if looks could kill, they couldn't kill Nalan Lianyi.

Ignoring Li Leru's ferocious expression, Nalan Lianyi smiled shyly and said, "The princess is not experienced enough to understand His Highness's deep affection for me."

"you…"

Li Leru kept comforting herself, "Just bear with it a little longer, just bear with it a little longer!"

Nalan Lianyi's smile quickly faded.

"Then you should cherish this opportunity, little sister, because new talents are constantly emerging, and you never know when you might lose this favor."

Nalan Lianyi yawned, completely unaffected.

"No need for Your Highness to worry, Your Highness. You don't understand His Highness's feelings for me."

Whether she was moved or felt guilty, Mo Yu was now her rightful husband.

Seeing that Xiang Wan was already standing behind her, Li Leru didn't want to waste any more words with Nalan Lianyi.

"Since my sister is tired, she should rest. I'll head back now."

Li Leru turned and walked out of the courtyard, her smile almost impossible to hide.

"Let's go back to the East Palace!"

Song Yin glided to Li Leru in one quick step and blocked her way.

"Princess Consort of the Eastern Palace, please wait!"

"How dare you! You dare block the Princess's path!"

Xiang Wan stepped forward and scolded, "Guards, drag this ignorant and lowly maid away and give her twenty lashes!"

Song Yin kept her eyes fixed on Xiang Wan and casually flicked out dozens of silver needles, freezing the swarming guards in place.

The young lady said that life is the most important thing, and if anyone bullies you, you should fight back!

Even if the Heavenly King himself were to arrive, there's no reason why she could use force to fight for five points.

Nalan Lianyi was captivated by Song Yin's handsomeness. The maids trained by her sister were truly exceptional; they even dared to take action in the Seventh Prince's residence.

Now was the time to show his loyalty. He silently shielded Songyin behind him, took two steps forward, and slapped Xiangwan several times.

Since Li Leru kept provoking him, and he couldn't hit her, his personal maid took the hit instead.

Songyin is my sister's person, and no matter what the reason for stopping her, she must not be bullied under her nose.

"Who gave you the audacity! It's none of your business to order my people around!"

Li Leru gestured for Xiang Wan to step back, "Sister, how dare you hit someone!"

Nalan Lianyi massaged and rubbed her hands together; she had hit too hard and her hands hurt.

"If we're going to fight, why do we need to pick a day?"

"This lowly servant girl blocked my way first. Instead of keeping her in check, you come here to lecture my servant. Do you really not respect me?"

Having been by Yang Jianwu's side for a long time, Songyin also grew to hate the domestic power struggles.

He grabbed Xiang Wan's hand and displayed it to everyone.

"Princess Consort of the East Palace, your maidservant has Princess Consort of the West Palace's hair tangled in her hand. What is her intention?!"

Li Leru was greatly alarmed, as she had come here specifically to obtain Nalan Lianyi's hair.

Damn it, how could it have been discovered so easily!

Xiang Wan is such a useless girl; she can get caught red-handed even for such a small thing.

Suppressing her inner turmoil, she feigned composure and said, "Xiangwan was just tying your hair up when it must have gotten tangled up by accident."

It's just a few strands of hair; who can say anything about that?

Songyin gripped Xiangwan's trembling wrist tightly and carefully removed the strands of hair from Xiangwan's fingers.

"Taking something that doesn't belong to you without asking is theft."

Li Leru was so angry that she laughed when she saw her hair, which she had almost gotten, being snatched away.

"It's just a few strands of hair, is it really worth making such a fuss about!"

“It’s worth it. I grew up on the border and have seen the Gu worms of Nan Yue.”

Many poisons are made using hair as a medium, so be careful!

"You!"

Li Leru's intentions were perfectly guessed by a maid, and she was on the verge of a mental breakdown, but she tried her best to maintain the demeanor of a princess.

"It's just hearsay; don't try to sow discord between me and my sister."

Nalan Lianyi didn't understand the purpose of hair, but she was still happy to make Li Leru unhappy.

"My relationship with the Princess Consort isn't that good. There are no outsiders here, so why can't you just be yourself?"

Furthermore, even if my things are unclean, they must be handled by people within my palace. Xiang Wan has overstepped her bounds.

Someone come! "

"My sister is too petty. Xiangwan didn't mean it."

Li Leru automatically ignored the words she didn't want to hear and pretended to scold Xiang Wan.

"Xiangwan, quickly apologize to your sister."

She only has Xiang Wan she can trust now; if she loses her too, it will be even more difficult for her to do anything in the manor.

For now, we need to save the person; we can figure out how to get the hair later.

Xiang Wan was already used to taking the blame, so she took the initiative to kneel down and admit her mistake.

"It's all my fault. Just now, when I was arranging the princess's hair, my fingernail accidentally snagged a strand of hair. Because I was afraid of being punished, I secretly hid it in my sleeve."

Crimson blood stained the ground, but Xiang Wan seemed oblivious to the pain, continuing to kowtow.

"Please, Your Highness, spare me! I will never dare to do it again."

"Please, Your Highness..."

Nalan Lianyi waved her hand, "Alright, alright, go back with your master, don't dirty my place."

"Thank you, Princess."

Xiang Wan kowtowed again before following Li Leru away.

Songyin touched the hair follicle at the tip of the hair with her fingertip, and when no one was paying attention, she quietly wrapped the hair around her little finger and hid it under her sleeve.

The fact that the mission was completed without anyone noticing was largely thanks to Li Leru's assistance.

Whatever she wanted to do with Nalan Lianyi's hair, it's all ruined now, and it'll only annoy her more, which is great!

After completing her mission, Song Yin did not linger. She instructed Nalan Lianyi to be extra careful before returning to report.

General's Mansion - Evening Pavilion

"Songyin is back. Did everything go smoothly?"

When Yang Jianwu saw Song Yin, she rushed over to greet her, and soon she would be able to unveil a grand palace drama!

Instead of answering, Songyin asked, "Miss, you seem very excited?"

"Have it?"

"Your mouth is agape..."

Yang Jianwu touched her face. Was it really that obvious?

"I've always loved to laugh, oh dear, tell me, how did it go?"

Song Yin coughed lightly twice, then lowered his head and stammered.

"Miss...this servant today..."

Yang Jianwu was suspicious. Had they failed?!

Songyin is skilled and straightforward, and never hesitates to speak. It seems she feels ashamed of her mistake today and is too embarrassed to say it.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's not that important, we can find another opportunity later..."

First, try to comfort her. A victorious general fears defeat the most, so we can't let Songyin lose confidence.

Before Yang Jianwu could finish comforting her, Song Yin tilted her head and chuckled, revealing a strand of hair on her little finger.

"Fortunately, I live up to my fate!"

"Oh, Songyin, you've gone astray."

“I follow you around every day, Miss. If I’m going to learn bad habits, it’ll be from you.”

"Okay, they all learned it from me."

Yang Jianwu carefully took the hair and ran quickly into the house. Oh my god, she was so excited.
