The Poisonous Consort, the Regent's Beloved

Her nose was exceptionally sensitive, giving her a keen perception of smells. Therefore, whenever she made medicine, she would always deliberately add a strongly flavored herb to the formula to prevent others from easily copying her unique medicine-making secrets.

This time, she made the ointment in particular, adding a flower called azurite to mask the odor.

The presence of this medicinal ingredient gives the ointment a faint, pleasant fragrance, completely masking any other unpleasant odors that might otherwise emanate.

However, this practice is not solely for the purpose of protecting one's intellectual property rights.

Actually, this ointment hides a little secret—she added a precious medicinal ingredient called "snake fruit." This snake fruit has special effects, but its taste is quite strong and unpalatable.

She originally intended this ointment for that man. After all, she had asked him for so many precious medicinal herbs; if she didn't ultimately show him any results, how would she extract money from him in the future?

"Yes, I've had this talent since I was a child. I can distinguish the ingredients of medicinal herbs by smell," Gu Qibai said casually, a hint of something unreadable flashing in his eyes.

Su Fuying was like this when she was a child; everyone thought she was a freak because her nose was so sensitive. But now, she was surprised to find that someone else had the same peculiar ability as her, which also made her feel a sense of kinship.

The two continued to discuss various medicinal herbs and exchange their experiences. Su Fuying told him some precautions regarding the child's condition.

Gu Qibai listened attentively and said he would take good care of the child as Su Fuying requested. Finally, Gu Qibai delivered most of the medicinal herbs Su Fuying needed as promised.

Before leaving, he said to Su Fuying, "I will give you the money for today's medicine and consultation in silver."

Su Fuying naturally knew what medicine he was talking about. This rejuvenating ointment was made entirely of rare and hard-to-find medicinal herbs. Normally, she wouldn't waste such good medicine on a stranger.

But for some reason, seeing this child suddenly reminded her of her poor younger brother, and she inexplicably stepped in to save him.

Given Renhetang's current situation, the fact that they still offer her such a high salary and have provided her with so many medicinal herbs raises questions about their financial situation. With this in mind, Su Fuying gently declined.

Su Fuying transported the medicinal herbs back to the Princess's residence, since there was nowhere to put so many things back at the Minister's residence.

Upon entering the princess's residence, there were several boxes in the courtyard. Su Fuying opened them and found they were full of valuable medicinal herbs.

She picked up the pen and tapped it lightly, and couldn't help but sigh, "Tsk, it's good to be rich. In just a few days, they've delivered every single herb on her list."

"Shadow Two".

In the evening, after having dinner, Su Fuying spent some time with the old lady as usual, and it was still early when she returned to her own courtyard.

Looking at the bright moonlight, a thought suddenly struck me: isn't this the perfect time to study?

Shadow Two leaped steadily out of the large banyan tree in the courtyard. Su Fuying said softly, "Let's begin!"

As the story progressed, the astonishment in Ying Er's eyes deepened. Was this starting from scratch? Why did he understand everything so quickly?

After practicing Qi cultivation in the courtyard for half an hour, Su Fuying finally experienced the internal energy described in fantasy novels.

A warm current flowed through her lower abdomen, and the unique sensation brought a hint of satisfaction to Su Fuying's face.

She's a very studious person; if others can do it, she has to learn it too.

Time passed second by second, and beads of sweat rolled down Su Fuying's forehead, but her eyes grew more and more determined.

Looking at the woman in front of him, Shadow Two thought that even Shadow Three, who had the best lightness skill, couldn't learn it as quickly as this.

At this moment, Su Fuying was immersed in her own world, diligently exploring the unknown.

As dawn broke, as Ying Er was leaving, Su Fuying handed him a white porcelain bottle and told him how to use it. Ying Er thanked her and flew away.

The man's wound is unlikely to heal. After so long, the flesh around the wound is probably rotting. I wonder if his men can fix it.

Who cares? I've already done everything I could.

Having just finished bathing, Su Fuying was only wearing a tube top in the room, with a gauze robe casually over it.

In such hot weather, she really wasn't used to wearing too many layers.

At this moment, she was sitting by the window, carefully preparing the medicinal herbs for the old lady, while letting the breeze help dry her wet long hair.

However, at that moment, a faint noise suddenly came from inside the room.

The familiar aura made Su Fuying instantly realize who it was, but she didn't even bother to turn her head.

Her tone revealed a hint of impatience and annoyance as she said softly, "Do you really enjoy breaking into women's private quarters at night?"

The person did not answer her question, but after a moment of contemplation, said, "Come here."

?

Who is he? Why would he tell her to come over?

"I heard about something that happened more than ten years ago."

Before the man could finish speaking, Su Fuying immediately sat down in front of him.

The man glanced at her with a slightly speechless look, and was taken aback when he saw her attire.

Before me, the woman's jet-black hair was wet and draped over her shoulders, and her fair face was free of makeup, as delicate as a lotus emerging from the water.

A gentle breeze rippled outside the window, causing the woman's white gauze dress to flutter, and the glimpses of her skin made Lu Yanxiu momentarily stunned.

"You're a pervert."

Noticing the man's scrutinizing gaze, Su Fuying pulled her coat tighter and frowned as she angrily rebuked him.

Lu Yanxiu casually looked away, got up and walked to her, tossed the white porcelain bottle into her arms, and then skillfully reached out his hand.

......

That's fucking ridiculous.

"A true man can bend and stretch," Su Fuying comforted herself, then stepped forward to help him undress.

She wrapped her arms around his lean waist; the woman carried a faint medicinal fragrance that was quite pleasant.

Looking down, I saw a scene that made my blood boil.

The man glanced at it, felt the touch on his body, and stiffly turned his head to the side.

He considered himself to be detached from worldly desires, but lately, for some reason, whenever he closed his eyes, he could always think of the warmth of her hand.

Su Fuying, unaware of the strange thoughts swirling in his head, walked around to the back and saw the festering wound, her gaze deepening.

She looked at the gruesome wound and sighed inwardly. Sure enough, as she had expected, the wound was unlikely to heal. "You haven't reached the point of being poisoned yet, so you shouldn't take any medicine. For now, I can only remove the rotten flesh and then apply ointment."

Actually, it wasn't that she didn't want to use anesthesia to alleviate his pain, after all, he had given her so many good medicinal herbs, but she really didn't have any anesthesia available at the moment.

Mafeisan (a type of anesthetic) is rare, and she only managed to successfully prepare it after many attempts.

However, she is currently developing a new drug and has exhausted all her anesthetics, so she has no other options.

"Hmm." The man's response remained indifferent, as if he were not moved in the slightest by the impending excruciating pain. He didn't even flinch when he heard that flesh would be cut out.
