Poison Doctor Roaming the Martial World

Puyang Xuan spent the whole day racking his brains trying to come up with various ways to make Yang Jianwu happy. It was his own fault for being so impulsive.

As dusk fell, Li Ming hurriedly arrived at the General's Mansion to request an audience. Song Yin led Li Ming to Xi Pavilion.

Upon seeing Yang Jianwu, Li Ming instantly lost control of his emotions. Tears streamed down his face like a burst dam. He sobbed and kowtowed repeatedly, pleading, "Master, please save Dan Niang! Please, Master!!"

Yang Jianwu was startled by this sudden scene and quickly signaled Songyin to help the person up.

"Don't panic, Li Ming, what exactly happened?"

Li Ming choked back tears as he replied, "Master, Dan Niang used the eyebrow powder you gave her before..."

Forgive Yang Jianwu for being too busy and not remembering for a moment, and for asking the question so foolishly.

"Eyebrow powder? What eyebrow powder?"

"Cough cough~"

Song Yin coughed lightly twice to attract Yang Jianwu's attention, then secretly glanced at Puyang Xuan; the old man was still there.

"Ok??"

Yang Jianwu blinked her eyes. What did the eyebrow powder have to do with Puyang Xuan?

Puyang Xuan was also completely bewildered... What did this have to do with him?

Songyin, "..."

Li Ming was unaware of Dan Niang's current condition and was only focused on quickly asking his master to come to her rescue. He did not notice the strange expressions among the others and explained the function of the eyebrow powder in the simplest terms.

"My lord, the eyebrow powder is the aphrodisiac you previously instructed Prince Qi to prepare!"

"I added a few medicinal herbs to make eyebrow powder, which I used when drawing my eyebrows. Combined with incense burning in the room, it had an aphrodisiac effect on men..."

Li Ming let out a suppressed sob, his shoulders trembling violently.

Yang Jianwu thought to herself, "Oh no, how could I have forgotten about this? But it's been two years already. Will the eyebrow powder lose its effectiveness over time?"

And Li Ming's condition... it's like he's lost a loved one... tears streaming down his face, it's terrifying...

"Aphrodisiac?! Sex potion?!"

Puyang Xuan stared wide-eyed in disbelief. When did his kind and talented Jianwu develop this hobby?!

Thinking about how I used a drone to spy on other people's intimate moments twice... making aphrodisiacs doesn't seem like such a big deal anymore...

"Sword Dance..."

Li Ming interjected at the opportune moment, "Master, Dan Niang is using eyebrow powder to seduce Prince Qi in an attempt to avenge herself... Waaah..."

Yang Jianwu frowned slightly. "Seducing the Prince of Qi for revenge?! What's going on?!"

She always warned her subordinates to avoid the court, especially the royal family, when going on missions, and to try not to offend them.

After all, it was an era of absolute imperial power, so a direct confrontation was inappropriate. But if one suffered a great injustice, there was no need to deliberately endure it; one should boldly fight back, and she would cover for them if anything happened.

Dan Niang and Li Ming have always been on standby at Huashuiyuefang in Anshun. They are efficient and reliable in their work. In recent years, they have worked together and occasionally go on missions together, completing them excellently.

Apart from their encounter two years ago at Huashuiyuefang, I have never heard of any conflict between them. When did the King of Qi bully them again?

And they even used the word "revenge"... how did things get so serious...?

Faced with Li Ming's "heartbreaking grief" and lack of focus on the important matter, Yang Jianwu couldn't help but shout.

"Stop crying like a grown man, get to the point!!"

"Hiccup~!"

Startled by the shout, Li Ming stopped crying and sobbed, "Master... Dan Niang was on a mission in Anyang last year... hiccup~ She accidentally found out... hiccup~ Prince Qi is... is... hiccup~~"

Yang Jianwu stared intently, her anger rising. She moved her clenched fists, her hands itching to punch someone!

"Li Ming!!"

"Hiccup~ I'm here!"

"I don't think Dan Niang's condition is very urgent. Why don't you go out and calm yourself down before coming back to talk to me? Now, no need to see me out!"

"Huh?! Hiccup~~"

"Or perhaps you're tired of life in this world."

"Huh?! *hiccup*"

"You're asking for death!!"

Li Ming pounded his chest a few times, finally able to speak properly.

"master……"

"Say!"

"Yes, when Danniang was on a mission a year ago, she unexpectedly discovered that Prince Qi and Nalan Yuanting were colluding. The turmoil on the border many years ago was a conspiracy between the two of them. All of Danniang's relatives died in that turmoil, and her infant brother was even given to Nalan Yuanting's physician for research..."

Yang Jianwu's expression froze for a moment. "Do you have any evidence?"

During the chaos, Dongli and Xipan were still enemies. If it got out that he, as a prince, was colluding with the prince of an enemy country, his life as a prince would be over.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Dan Niang discovered the body of her younger brother in Nalan Yuanting's residence on the border..."

Thinking back to that scene, Li Ming still felt lingering fear...

The tiny infant was curled up in the urn, its entire body immersed in an unknown, pungent liquid. Its flesh had not shriveled due to the passage of time, and apart from its tightly closed eyes, it looked no different from a living person...

“My lord, Dan Niang overheard the conversation between Prince Qi and Nalan Yuanting, and found that the tassels left at the scene were hand-woven by Princess Qi.”

Li Ming hesitated for a few moments before continuing, "Master, there is one more thing. I hope you won't be angry when I tell you."

"explain."

"Taking advantage of your presence in Yunzhi when you gave birth to Prince Qi's son via cesarean section, Dan Niang has already taken the sword tassel to Prince Qi to confirm this."

Yang Jianwu took a deep breath. Dan Niang is really brave!

However, she likes it!

"What else did Princess Qi say?"

"Princess Qi said that her relationship with Prince Qi was not as deep as the outside world said. If Dan Niang wanted to bring down Prince Qi, she only asked that her two sons be spared."

In Yang Jianwu's memory, a woman, seemingly frail yet strong, appeared. Despite being exhausted, she smiled and said to her, "Miss Yang, if it can ensure the baby's safety... then please proceed with the C-section... my life is not important..."

Tears streamed down her cheeks and onto her pillow; her only concern was her child.

"I just don't have a chance to see my child..."

The surgery was successful, and the cries of the two babies melted the woman's heart.

……

"Li Ming, send a message to Anshun, and send someone to keep an eye on the Qi Prince's residence. If the Qi Princess is in trouble, make sure to protect her and her child."

When Li Ming mentioned that Dan Niang had gone to Princess Qi to verify the situation, he was worried that his master would be angry. Now it seems that he was overthinking it. His master is the best!

"Yes! Li Ming thanks Master on behalf of Dan Niang."

Yang Jianwu crossed her arms and said playfully, "Why are you thanking her on her behalf? If she wants to thank someone, she should do it herself!"

Li Ming slapped his forehead. Dan Niang had already gone to keep her appointment with the King of Qi. Judging by the time, the medicine would take effect soon.

"Master, let's go quickly!"

Yang Jianwu forgot about that and pulled Songyin outside.

"Let's go together, Songyin!"

Puyang Xuan stopped the three people who were about to leave, "Jianwu, you haven't explained the eyebrow powder clearly yet!"

Yang Jianwu felt embarrassed, picked at the tip of his nose, and his mind raced, trying to figure out how to avoid this topic. After thinking for a while without success, he decided that running away was the best option!

"Well, I'll go take care of Dan Niang's matter first. Wait for me to come back and I'll explain."

Ignoring Puyang Xuan's sorrowful yet angry gaze, the woman waved to Li Ming and Song Yin and hurriedly left.
