Poison Doctor Roaming the Martial World

Li Ge was startled by Lu Qiao's sudden roar, quickly patting his frightened heart and muttering, "Okay, okay..."

The words had barely left his mouth when Li Ge suddenly realized something was amiss. He was loyal to his master; how could he casually obey someone else's orders, especially a scheming woman who wanted to steal the formula...

Li Ge looked at Lu Qiao with suspicion and continued to evade the question.

"Miss Lu, couldn't you have asked someone to talk about something else? Why does it have to be the brewing method for plum drink?"

Lu Qiao was so angry with Li Ge that she had no choice but to give up. She felt that this guy was as stupid as a dog, loyal to the end.

"King Qi seems to be doing well, but Dan Niang's condition is not quite right. If we rush in with any other reason, King Qi might fly into a rage."

He desperately wanted to know how to make plum drink!

After thinking about it for a moment, Li Ge felt that Lu Qiao's words made some sense.

After all, the King of Qi had personally admitted his desire for plum drinks, so using this as an excuse would indeed be more likely to pique his interest.

Anyway, Miss Lu's hypnosis skills are unbeatable. Even if Miss Lu steals the recipe for plum drink, she can't steal it without Miss Lu's permission.

"The method for brewing plum drinks was passed down from the master to his four maids, who then passed it on to the head of the estate, who finally assigned different people to be in charge of brewing it..."

The only way to find someone who knows the whole story is to find either the four maids or the head of the estate...

The village heads are scattered throughout the villages, making them difficult to find in a short time.

The four maids...

Songyin is on duty today and cannot be absent;

Zi Ping is still in Yun Zhi and must be ruled out;

Liangyan has only been by Miss's side for the past two years, so she probably doesn't know the specific brewing method;

The only option is to find Mulan, but Mulan is in the General's Mansion, and Li Ming must have already found Miss and is on his way...

correct!

There is still one!

Li Ge: "We can find Qingdai!!"

Lu Qiao, "Go find Qingdai quickly!!"

"Qingdai has been living in the villa with the child. There is only one straight road from here to the villa. You can use your lightness skill to get there quickly. It will only take the time it takes to drink a cup of tea to go back and forth! I will stay here and keep watch. You should go now!"

Li Ge glanced at the one-way glass again. Dan Niang was nestled in front of King Qi, her cheeks flushed with an unnatural blush.

In contrast, King Qi sat upright and composed, allowing Dan Niang to bewitch him.

"I'm leaving this to you, Miss Lu. Please make sure Dan Niang is safe! I'll be back as soon as possible!!"

"it is good!"

After Li Ming left, Lu Qiao did not delay at all and immediately began to arrange for people to go to the stage to create some big noise in order to attract everyone's attention.

In the private room

The King of Qi's eyes showed no trace of confusion, only a cunning glint of calculation.

"Dan Niang, come, how about we share another drink?"

Dan Niang gently pushed away the cup offered by the King of Qi. The last vestige of her consciousness told her that she had probably been tricked by the King of Qi!

"Your Highness, although this plum drink isn't as intoxicating as wine, drinking too many cups can still make one dizzy and confused..."

King Qi ignored Dan Niang's explanation and suddenly reached out a hand, clamping it tightly around Dan Niang's chin, making it impossible for her to break free.

"I just love it when you make a silly mistake..."

King Qi glanced at the wisps of smoke still being exhaled by the gilded lion-shaped incense beast, and finally could no longer suppress the smile on his lips, his voice low and full of mockery.

Suddenly, a burst of rapid and cheerful drumming sounded from the lobby outside the door.

"Dong dong qiang! Da da dong! Dong ci da ci~ Dong ci da ci~ Cha cha long dong qiang!"

King Qi frowned, his mood dampened, clearly displeased.

"Someone, go and find out what's causing this commotion?"

"Yes, Your Highness."

The guard outside quickly returned and reported, "Your Highness, it's a giveaway event organized by Huashuiyuefang."

King Qi was suspicious, as he had never heard this term before.

"A lucky draw event??"

"Yes."

The guard carefully informed the King of Qi of the information he had gathered: "Write down the private room numbers and the table numbers for the general guests on a piece of paper, put them in a box, and draw them randomly. Those who draw the correct numbers will be divided into three categories. The five people in the third category will enjoy the meal on the table for free; the three people in the second category will not only enjoy the meal for free, but will also receive a plum drink, a grape drink, and a mulberry drink each."

King Qi chuckled, "Heh~ The owner of Huashuiyuefang is quite generous. If the second class is this generous, then what is the first class?"

"Your Highness, the first-class honoree will not only receive a free meal, but will also be given ten jugs of each of the three types of fruit drinks, or can choose the brewing method for one of the fruit drinks!"

"really?!"

"Absolutely true! The shopkeeper just said it himself in the hall, and the fruit drink was given to him on the spot!"

"that is really good!"

King Qi was overjoyed. Looking at the unconscious Dan Niang in his arms, he resolutely chose profit over beauty.

"Go inside and keep an eye on things. If my private room isn't drawn as a first-class room, make sure I get it no matter what!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

In the next room, Lu Qiao instructed everyone to proceed according to plan!

"Boom! Boom!~"

A rhythmic clatter, like fireworks exploding, rang out: "Now, let's begin drawing the third prize!"

"Thump thump thump! Thump thump thump! Thump! Crack! Thump thump crack!"

The drummer's drumsticks flew in a blur, then stopped with a loud "bang!" The shopkeeper began announcing the winners.

"The third prize winners for this event are table number 3, table number 5 (Earth), ... table number 1 (Heaven)! Congratulations to all the above tables!"

The hall erupted in applause. The food at Huashuiyuefang was notoriously expensive, and most people were delighted to be able to get a free meal.

"Yay! I'm so lucky!"

"Congratulations, congratulations!"

"The first and second prizes haven't been announced yet, so you still have a chance!"

"Yes, unlike us, we only won the third prize, so we've missed out on the first or second prize!"

"Shopkeeper, hurry up and draw the first and second prizes!"

"Hurry, hurry! Let us be the witnesses!"

……

Outside, congratulatory greetings rang out, one after another, creating a lively atmosphere. Inside, however, Prince Qi wore a sour face, as if someone owed him millions of taels of silver…

He's aiming for first prize! First prize!!

How could he only get a third-place finish? He's a prince of Qi, he's not short of money for a meal!

……

The first prize was drawn quickly; it was a private room with the "Earth" designation. A third-rank official came to dine with his family.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, the King of Qi's guards slipped into the private room numbered Earth.

Seeing that the fish had taken the bait, the shopkeeper went to the warehouse under the pretext of checking the fruit drinks, but in reality, he went to check if Qingdai was ready.

The King of Qi's guards negotiated with the third-rank official. The official was very accommodating and readily accepted the benefits offered by the King of Qi, then left the private room with his family.

King Qi ordered his men to guard Dan Niang well, and went alone to the private room numbered Earth. He was able to obtain the recipe for plum drink, and later he could spend another night with Dan Niang. The capital city was truly his blessed place.
