Chapter 352: Unparalleled Beauty vs. 717

Qu Xinyue was surprised but felt that it was reasonable, and said carefully.

"The gift is really too valuable, but I won't accept it without merit. I am glad to receive Master Nan Ze's kindness. I hope you will send someone to take the gift back."

Nan Ze smiled warmly: "The reason why gifts are precious is because of the intention of the person who gave them, not the gift itself. If Miss Qu does not accept them, then those gifts will lose their meaning of existence."

Qu Xinyue laughed, Master Nan Ze was truly a genius at sophistry.

She just didn't know if Master Nan Ze was one of the people she was looking for. Her eyes fell on Nan Ze's chest, and she was eager to try.

You can confirm it by just opening the front of your shirt to expose your heart.

But the situation obviously did not allow it now, as Prince Cang Zhao was beside him, and there were many busy pharmacists around, as well as people who would come to get medicine.

After hesitating for a moment, Qu Xinyue gave up the idea of ​​returning the gift. If she confirmed that Nan Ze was the person she was looking for, then he would be her man.

Of course, what belongs to your man is also yours. If Nan Ze is not your man, he will always find a way to return the things.

Nan Ze was also surprised by Qu Xinyue's overly cold attitude towards those jewelries.

After all, those were jewelry that he had carefully selected and were extremely valuable.

Nan Ze admitted that he fell in love at first sight, but after getting to know Qu Xinyue slowly, he realized that it was all about her appearance. However, the more he got to know Qu Xinyue, the more he couldn't help but be attracted to her.

He looked at Prince Cang Zhao beside Qu Xinyue with a gloomy look in his eyes.

Only men understand better the way men look at women.

Prince Cang Zhao obviously has feelings for Qu Xinyue, but Prince Cang Zhao himself probably doesn't realize it.

But this is better.

He changed the subject. "Although there are two herbs on the list that are missing, we can still find some substitutes. Miss Xinyue, why don't you go with the herbalist to have a look?"

Qu Xinyue thought so too. It would not be good if the poison in Prince Cang Zhao was delayed for too long. Although the effect might be greatly reduced by using other herbs as substitutes, at least the poison's erosion on his internal organs could be controlled first.

After that, you can extend the time and slowly look for the most suitable medicinal materials.

"Okay, thank you, Master Nan Ze." Qu Xinyue stood up slightly to express her gratitude, and then left with the medicine boy called by Nan Ze.

Just as Cang Zhao was about to follow, a hand suddenly blocked his way.

"Your Highness, please stay. There are many valuable medicinal herbs in the storeroom. It's not convenient for you to visit. Sorry."

Cang Zhao frowned slightly, his eyes still following Qu Xinyue's leaving back.

Suddenly, Nan Ze beside him spoke again.

"My Nan family has been engaged in the business of medicinal herbs for generations. Every generation will try their best to collect top-quality medicinal herbs when they come across them."

What Nan Ze said is so confusing. Is he bragging?

Cang Zhao didn't think that Nan Ze, who could support the entire Nan family, would be such an impetuous and vain person.

There was obviously something else behind the words, and he inexplicably heard some hostility.

Cang Zhao remained calm and turned to look at Nan Ze: "So?"

Nan Ze smiled slightly and said, "Your Highness, you are in urgent need of life-saving herbs, right?"

Without waiting for Cang Zhao to change his expression, he continued fearlessly: "Your Majesty does not need to know where I got the channel from. After all, there is no wall that is impenetrable in this world. Cats have their own ways, and dogs have their own ways."

What he didn't say was that most of the secret poisons also came from the Nan family's medicinal material supply channel.

Today, I saw the list of antidotes that correspond to the poison, and then I realized that Prince Cang Zhao had been poisoned.

But Nan Ze would not tell Cang Zhao these words.

After all, the Nan family used the medicinal materials supply channels to analyze intelligence, which was the secret of the Nan family's survival for hundreds of years.

Sometimes there are secrets in your hands, which may become a handle to hold others hostage at a critical moment.

His face was still gentle, but his words were unexpectedly sharp.

“So, the Nan family has all the precious medicinal materials that the prince needs.” Having said that, his clear eyes were like a bottomless cold pond as he continued.

"As long as the prince does not approach Miss Qu, I will offer these two hard-to-find medicinal herbs to you."

Cang Zhao's pupils shrank slightly, and his eyes turned sharp as he looked at Nan Ze.

But Nan Ze in front of him still looked at him neither arrogantly nor humbly. At this moment, it seemed as if all around him had become a void background, with only the auras of both sides competing with each other.

Cang Zhao thought that he felt suffocated because he didn't like the feeling of being threatened.

After all, the people on the other side are just merchants.

And he is Qi Guo, the Queen Mother's favorite grandson and a prince with a title in the current dynasty.

This is a matter of face.

"What if the King doesn't want to?"

Nan Ze was not surprised at Cang Zhao's answer. After all, the flowers he liked were so precious and beautiful. It was normal for them to occasionally attract some annoying bees and butterflies.

What troubled him was how to drive away all the bees and butterflies so that he could have all of this flower that made people fall in love with it at first sight.

Nan Ze still had a faint smile on his face, but his eyes were deep, revealing a hint of teasing, and his voice was indescribably cold.

"Then the prince may never see those two medicines again in his life."

Not to mention that those two medicines are hard to find in the world, have harsh growing conditions, and take more than a hundred years to grow.

Even if someone really discovered these two medicinal herbs, they would most likely flow into the Nan family’s medicinal herbs purchasing and sales channels.

It is easy to intercept it at the first moment.

Prince Cang Zhao looked fixedly at Nan Ze with his dark eyes, and suddenly sneered, his voice containing chilling coldness and sarcasm that made one's heart tremble.

"Master Nan Ze, does Miss Qu know that you have two faces?"

Cang Zhao knows how to hurt people.

Just one sentence made Master Nan Ze, who was originally stronger, change his expression suddenly. He clenched his teeth and became full of anger. How could he still look like the gentle, friendly and easy-going gentleman he usually was?

The two of them looked at each other with lightning speed, and at this moment, a sound of brisk footsteps was heard.

The hostility in Nan Ze's eyes suddenly disappeared. He turned to look at Qu Xinyue. His eyes became gentle and calm again, with a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth.

Cang Zhao: ...

Even though he had seen a lot of intrigue in the palace, this was the first time he had seen someone like Master Nan Ze.

Really opened my eyes!

Although there was no gain today, Cang Zhao at least confirmed that Master Nan Ze must have the medicinal herbs that could save his life.

After all, this was admitted by the famous Master Nan Ze himself.

Now Cang Zhao just needs to find a way to get the medicinal materials from Nan Ze.

He felt that instead of making a big fuss and searching around like a headless fly, at least knowing an accurate direction was a good thing.

Qu Xinyue was satisfied when she saw the two handsome men, Young Master Nan Ze and Prince Cang Zhao, standing together, living in harmony and looking like they had a good relationship.

If Nan Ze and Cang Zhao are the people he is looking for, then he won't have to worry about them fighting in the future. It's perfect.

Nan Ze saw the bright smile on Qu Xinyue’s face. Even though he didn’t know why Qu Xinyue was happy, his mood also improved.

He asked in a gentle tone, "Have you prepared the necessary herbs?"

Qu Xinyue nodded with sparkling eyes.

It is true that the Nan family’s pharmacy has a rich variety of Chinese medicinal materials, and they are prepared and preserved in good condition.

It really is worthy of being a family that has been engaged in the medicinal materials business for hundreds of years.

When Cang Zhao saw the warm atmosphere between Qu Xinyue and Nan Ze, he didn't know why he felt uncomfortable in his heart, as if he was an unnecessary person standing beside them.

He cleared his throat and interrupted their conversation: "It's getting late, Miss Xinyue, shall I take you back?"

Qu Xinyue was stunned for a moment, and looked at the sky outside. They had just come out of Guiyin Pavilion less than an hour and a half ago? It was already late?

But thinking that Prince Cang Zhao might be busy, he nodded and said, "Okay, please send Xinyue back."

Nan Ze originally thought that he could still spend some more time with Qu Xinyue, after all, he had to travel west to collect medicinal herbs in the next two days.

If it was ordinary medicinal materials, he would not go, but the news sent from the western stronghold said that there was a batch of very high-quality Qinjiao, Cordyceps sinensis, Saffron and Tibetan mother shell.

This time he will not be able to see the girl he loves for at least thirty days, and this girl is too outstanding. He is really afraid that during his absence, a group of admirers will flock to her.

Fortunately, the girl he likes protects herself very well. She still wears a veil, hiding her beautiful face underneath it.

……

On the return journey in the carriage, the atmosphere was silent again.

Cang Zhao thought of the way on the way to the pharmacy, when he accidentally buried his chest, and his ears started burning again. He didn't dare to look Qu Xinyue in the eye again.

But he always felt that it was he who asked Qu Xinyue for help in detoxification, and it was not good to ignore her like this. Moreover, the action of burying his chest was his own mistake, and he could not blame the girl.

Along the way, Cang Zhao successfully brainwashed himself and felt that he owed Qu Xinyue a huge favor.

"You, to thank you, this king will agree to one of your requests, except treason." He relaxed the conditions again this time, but he didn't realize that his tone and eyes were full of indulgence.

Qu Xinyue's eyes suddenly lit up and she said, "Except treason, everything else is fine? Anything?" She confirmed again and again.

Cang Zhao nodded: "Once a word is spoken, it cannot be taken back."

Qu Xinyue looked at Cang Zhao with great interest and ordered: "Then Your Majesty, take off your clothes and show me."

"Cough, cough, cough..." Cang Zhao was suddenly choked by his saliva. His face quickly turned red, and the redness spread visibly to his ears. His deep black eyes flashed with a hint of shame and anger.

He now wished he could swallow back those words that were spoken and could not be taken back.

"Can't you put forward other conditions?" Cang Zhao tried to persuade Qu Xinyue. For example, wouldn't it be nice to have a few boxes of gold, silver and jewelry? Or would it be nice to be free from slavery? Or...

"No. This is it." Qu Xinyue showed an attitude that would not change.

And looked at him intently.

Cang Zhao: ...

Taking a deep breath, he decided to go all out and simply closed his eyes tightly to pretend he didn't see it.

But the slight trembling of his thick eyelashes and the blood-red tips of his ears all showed his inner unrest at the moment.

With slender fingers, she unfastened the jade buckle and loosened the knot around her waist.

All sounds seem to be amplified again and again in the eardrum.

Even if Cang Zhao closed his eyes, he could still feel Qu Xinyue's gaze on him, which never left and had a very strong presence.

There was also the snapping sound of the jade button being unfastened, and the hissing sound of the knot rubbing against the fabric when it was pulled apart.

At this moment, Cang Zhao felt that it was so... shameful!

After unbuttoning the outer robe, he revealed a thin undergarment underneath. In the past, the thin and silky white style was his favorite because it could dissipate heat quickly.

But now with this half-covered effect, Cang Zhao's toes curled up in his boots and dug into the bottom of the car, and he couldn't help but scream in his heart.

"Have not taken off your underwear yet." Qu Xinyue urged in a sweet voice.

Cang Zhao's chest heaved violently, and the movement of taking off his underwear seemed a little flustered and disorganized.

But once you make a promise, a real man must complete it even if he has to kneel down...

The underwear slipped off the slender body, revealing the beautiful chest muscles.

Qu Xinyue suddenly sat up straight, her eyes falling on the crescent-shaped pink birthmark on her heart.

A brilliant smile suddenly appeared on her face. She found it!

It turns out that all the guesses are true, so whether it is Qi Yao who left without saying goodbye, or the noble Prince Cang Zhao in front of him, they are the people he is looking for!

Cang Zhao hadn't heard Qu Xinyue speak for a long time, so he slowly opened his eyes. He still didn't have the courage to take off the only underwear on his body.

But after opening my eyes, I found that Qu Xinyue was no longer in front of me.

Facing the empty carriage in front of him, the shame and anger in Cang Zhao's eyes became more intense.

But the blush on her face made him feel like spring water rippling.

Outside the carriage, the attendant asked, "Your Majesty? Shall we go back? Miss Qu has already returned to Guiyin Pavilion."

Cang Zhao quickly put on his robe and lifted the car curtain. In front of him was a large sign with three golden characters: Guiyin Pavilion.

He suddenly pulled down the curtains, but even in the enclosed space, he still couldn't calm down.

It was the first time that Cang Zhao was teased.

The person who flirted with her seemed like an old hand in the world of women. He waved his sleeves and walked away in a leisurely manner.

He was angry, annoyed and ashamed, with mixed feelings.

Finally, Cang Zhao said with frustration: "Go to the palace." The person who poisoned has not been found yet, and he urgently needs to do something to divert attention.

The luxurious carriage rumbled away from Guiyin Pavilion.

Inside the gate of Guiyin Pavilion, Qu Xinyue quietly poked her head out, her watery eyes full of cunning, and just watched the carriage leave.

Now that we have found the person, there is no need to rush. Matters of the heart can be taken slowly. The most important thing is to get rid of the poison in Cang Zhao's body first.

Moreover, if she had stayed in the carriage and waited for Cang Zhao to open his eyes, it would have been really awkward for both of them and it would have been difficult to resolve.

After all, Cang Zhao doesn’t have that deep feelings for her now.

Qu Xinyue thought that she might as well let Cang Zhao think that he was being teased. This way, maybe Cang Zhao would still miss her.

……

After returning to Guiyin Pavilion, Qu Xinyue once again became the target of inquiry by the girls in the pavilion.

Qu Xinyue even felt that the girls in the pavilion were more interested in her than the guests who came to Guiyin Pavilion for fun.

She simply hung a sign outside the courtyard saying "I'm sick, do not disturb" and devoted herself to making pills for Cang Zhao in the courtyard.

Although the girls in the pavilion were dissatisfied with Qu Xinyue's practice of closing the door to visitors, they sincerely believed the lies that Qu Xinyue was sick because they smelled a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine wafting from the courtyard where Qu Xinyue lived all day long.

Qu Xinyue thought she could hide away for a few days in this leisure time.

Unexpectedly, the next day, knowing that Qu Xinyue was seriously ill, Rong's mother came to visit her out of concern.

But as soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw Qu Xinyue eating and drinking well, with rosy cheeks, looking ten times healthier than her, and she immediately laughed out of anger.

Mother Rong tapped Qu Xinyue's smooth forehead with her finger and scolded her.

"You, you, why do you have to curse yourself to be sick when there are other things you can say? Hurry up and get ready. Go to the street later to watch General Yan return from the battle and ride a horse through the streets to the palace to meet the emperor."
