The madam rushed forward: "You really are that woman! So you're not dead!"

Long Chuqing played with the hairpin in her hand, glanced at her, and switched to a female voice, saying, "Yes, I didn't die. I'm sorry to disappoint you."

The madam recognized the voice as belonging to a woman and said embarrassedly, "Don't say that. I didn't want you to die. If I wanted you to die, I wouldn't have found a doctor to treat you."

Long Chuqing gave the madam a complicated look. Although she did have her own selfish motives, she did indeed find a doctor to treat her.

Listening to their conversation, Nangong Ming sensed there was more to the story. He called the madam over and asked her to tell him the whole story.

Upon hearing this, the madam went over and explained the whole story to him in detail.

After hearing the whole story, Nangong Ming gained a better understanding of the situation.

He looked at Long Chuqing and said, "If you're sure the hairpin is yours, you can take it back." Then he looked at the madam and asked, "Are you sure it's her?"

The madam looked at Long Chuqing with a troubled expression. No one dared to be certain about his dark, rugged male face.

"Well... although she can produce a written agreement, she's wearing a fake face, so I can't be sure!" the madam replied cautiously.

Nangong Ming agreed, saying, "Then please have the young lady remove her mask so she can recognize you."

Long Chuqing stroked his chin thoughtfully. Why should whatever he says be the law, and I can do whatever I want with him?

She glanced at them, yawned, and said, "No, I'm done playing and tired. I'm going back to sleep now. Goodbye."

After saying that, he darted past the crowd, leaped up, and disappeared into the night in an instant.

By the time everyone realized what was happening, she had already disappeared.

Nangong Ming watched her disappearing figure in an instant, lost in thought. Just playing around, huh? Interesting, Long Chuqing…

Nangong Ming turned to the madam and instructed, "Go find a painter, have him paint her portrait, and then give it to me."

"Okay, boss."

Long Chuqing quietly returned to Qiushui Pavilion under the cover of night. It was almost midnight when she got back upstairs.

She lit a lamp, changed her clothes, removed her fake face, and tidied herself up.

"Feifeng, I want to try to break the curse. Can you help me? I tried before but it didn't work. This spirit-locking curse contains immortal magic, but now that I've lost my spiritual power, it's completely ineffective."

Fei Feng: "Okay, but my spiritual power is also affected now, so it may not be effective."

"It's okay, we should at least give it a try."

Long Chuqing rolled up her left sleeve and used her right hand, holding the phoenix hairpin, to draw a spell-breaking talisman in the air above her left hand.

"Break." The pale golden unblocking talisman was immediately imprinted on the left hand and disappeared, along with the spirit-locking spell.

Long Chuqing watched the disappearing Spirit Locking Curse slowly reveal a smile, but her face fell after only a moment of laughter.

"What's going on?" She stared in disbelief as the spirit-locking spell reappeared on her wrist. "So it really didn't work!"

Fei Feng: "I don't know either. Sure enough, with my current weak spiritual power, it is not enough to break such a strong curse."

"Try again." She drew another talisman to break the curse.

"break."

It didn't work! She tried twice more, but it still didn't work.

She sat down at the desk and began grinding ink. After grinding, she drew a talisman on the paper to break the curse, but it still didn't work.

Fei Feng: "Qingqing, don't be discouraged, there will always be other ways."

"Forget it, I'm not going to think about it anymore, I'm going to sleep."

"Sigh." With a final sigh, he could only dejectedly lie back down on the bed and go to sleep.

She slept until 9 AM this morning and felt a little dizzy when she stood up. Today is the 15th, and she doesn't feel well. Before, she only felt unwell at night, but now that she's lost her spiritual power, it's started during the day!

She felt very dizzy and lay back down to sleep. "Feifeng, I feel very dizzy, can you help me?"

“Okay,” the phoenix hairpin released a faint golden light, wrapped around Long Chuqing’s head, and then slowly entered the dragon hairpin.

Zi Guang came up to check on Long Chuqing, but seeing that she was still asleep, he didn't dare to wake her. He was just wondering why the young lady hadn't woken up yet at this hour.

She slept for another hour, and after Fei Feng helped her get up, she felt much better, so she got dressed and went downstairs.

Seeing that she had finally gotten up, Zi Guang prepared toiletries for her. "Why did you sleep so long today, miss? Were you feeling unwell?"

Long Chuqing wiped the water off her face and casually replied, "It's nothing, I just felt really sleepy, so I slept a little longer."

"It's good that you're alright. You must be hungry! I'll go prepare lunch for you."

After lunch, Long Chuqing sorted out the medicine she had prepared over the past few days. Many people had been injured and a lot of medicine had been used up, so she was worried that there wouldn't be enough. She decided to send the rest over as well.

Just as they were about to have Ziguang send someone to collect it, Qingying and Qingzhou arrived.

"Miss Long," the two called out.

Long Chuqing turned around and looked at you: "It's you two! You've come at the right time. I was just about to ask Ziguang to call you. There's another batch of medicine here. Take it."

Qingzhou glanced at Qingying and nudged him with his elbow: "You say it."

Qingying touched her nose and said shyly, "It's like this, Miss Long, we've thought about it, and if you really want to go to Yuexi Tower, please invite the two of us along. We really don't feel comfortable letting you go alone."

The night before last, after Long Chuqing told them she was going to Yuexi Tower, they had been thinking about it. They felt it was inappropriate, and even if she was going, they couldn't let her go alone. What if something happened? So they came to find her today.

"I thought you were going to say something!" Long Chuqing said with a light smile. "Wait for me a moment."

She went upstairs and brought down an envelope. Then she handed the envelope to Qingying: "Here, take this."

Qingying took the envelope, glanced at it, and then looked at her with a puzzled expression: "What is this?"

She looked at Qingying and explained calmly, "I've already been to Yuexi Tower and brought back the five thousand taels." She pointed to the envelope, "There are five thousand taels in here, but I've thought about it. We won't split these five thousand taels equally. You gave it to the Prince. Didn't you say you would reimburse me? I think we should return it to him."

Qingying and Qingzhou exchanged a glance, both looking surprised, and asked, "When did you go?"

"I went there last night."

Qingying's eyes widened: "Ah! Last night? I asked the doorman to keep an eye out, but he didn't see you leave!"

Long Chuqing pointed upwards, smiling, and said, "I walked from the roof, of course the gatekeeper wouldn't know!"

Qingzhou quickly asked, "Were you injured? Did they give you any trouble? I heard those places are very chaotic."

“I’m not injured, and they didn’t give me any trouble,” Long Chuqing spread her hands. “Look at me, I’m perfectly fine, aren’t I?”

Qingzhou squinted and carefully examined her face: "But you don't look very well."

Qingying chimed in, "Yes, you look very pale today. Are you really not injured?"

Long Chuqing replied seriously, "I'm really not injured. I just slept too much today and woke up late. I was a little dizzy just now, but I'm much better now. Don't worry, I'll be fine in a bit."
