Chapter 1103: Picking Up a Loot!

A trace of surprise finally appeared on the cloaked man’s calm face. “What did you say? You found it?”
“That’s right! Found it! I saw it with my own eyes! Although she’s gained weight! But that face… is indeed the woman in the portrait!” Gu Lady Yi Man placed the crumpled portrait on the table in front of the cloaked man.
Although the portrait was old, it was not wrinkled. It was all because Yi Man was too excited along the way.
The cloaked man felt Yi Man’s excitement. If what Yi Man said was true and they really found the thief who stole the Holy Soul Pearl, then not to mention Yi Man, even he would be extremely excited.
However, they had experienced too many disappointments over the years. The cloaked man would no longer believe that they had succeeded easily.
“Where is she?” The cloaked man asked.
Yi Man said, “In the manor!”
The cloaked man frowned suspiciously. “In the Manor? Do you mean the Crown
Prince Manor?”
How was that possible? How long had they been living in the Crown Prince Manor? Everyone had checked, but they did not find the thief from back then.
Yi Man continued, “I don’t think she’s a maidservant from the manor judging from her dressing!”
“A guest of the manor?” The cloaked man fell into deep thought.
“It doesn’t look like…” Yi Man recalled what she had seen and said, “She dresses like a maidservant, but she’s not from the Crown Prince Manor.”
The cloaked man paused and said, “Then it’s possible that she’s new, or that some guest has come to the manor. She’s the guest’s maidservant. Go and ask around who came to the manor today.”
“Okay!” Yi Man agreed and turned to walk out of the door.
“Wait.” The cloaked man stopped her. “Where’s Lie Feng? Let him go. Tell him not to alert the enemy.”
Yi Man went to Lie Feng’s room. Lie Feng’s door was tightly shut, which was not strange. Lie Feng would refine Gu in his room every night, and he mostly did not want to be disturbed at this time.
“Lie Feng,” Yi Man called.
No one in the room reacted. Yi Man was not a martial arts expert, so she could not notice that there was no sign of life in the room. She raised her hand and knocked on the door. “Lie Feng, the lord is looking for you.”
There was still no answer.
“Could it be that he’s asleep?” Yi Man looked through the crack in the door. The light was indeed out.
Yi Man went to the cloaked man’s room to report. “Lie Feng is asleep. Why don’t
I go? Since she’s a maidservant, she can definitely walk around the backyard. I’m a woman, so it’s convenient for me to go to the backyard.”
“Is Lie Feng asleep so early?” The cloaked man suspected Lie Feng of malfeasance today, but he did not think too much about it. He nodded at Yi Man. “Go ahead. If she’s really a guest of the manor, she’s most likely here to visit the Crown Princess Consort. Take any pill and go openly.”
“Yes!” Gu Lady returned to her room and took a beauty pill that nourishes one’s Qi and blood. This pill could not kill or treat illnesses. It was most suitable as a pretense.
At this moment, Yu Wan did not know that she had been recognized as a thief. She returned to Old Cui’s courtyard. Old Cui was brewing pregnancy stabilizing medicine in the kitchen.
“Did anything go wrong?”
Yu Wan’s voice suddenly sounded at the door. Old Cui was so frightened that his hand trembled and the medicine jar was almost thrown out! Old Cui glared at Yu Wan angrily. “What could have happened to me? Did anything happen to you?”
“What can go wrong with me?” Yu Wan walked in leisurely.
“What happened to your face?” Old Cui stared at her and asked.
“The mask fell off!” Yu Wan took out the mask and played with it in her hand. She said indifferently, “I’ll stick it on later.”
Yu Wan looked at the medicine jar in front of him and said, “Alright, stop. It’s not like she really needs to stabilize the fetus. The person who poisoned her is already dead. Let’s hurry over. Otherwise, it won’t be easy to explain how Han Jingshu woke up later.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Jun Chang’an walked over. “Divine Doctor Cui!”
Yu Wan was caught off guard. She was still holding the human skin mask. Why did Jun Chang’an come looking for her?
It was true that Jun Chang’an knew her identity, but Jun Chang’an didn’t know that Old Cui knew. Even a fool could guess that she had a deep relationship with Old Cui after she took off her mask and chatted with him in the kitchen.
Yu Wan was anxious!
Old Cui calmly grabbed a handful of kitchen ash and smeared it on Yu Wan’s face.
Yu Wan, who instantly became a dilapidated cat: ‘
The moment Jun Chang’an entered the room, he was stunned by Yu Wan’s colorful face. “Madam, you…”
Yu Wan silently spat out the ashes in her mouth and said with an ashen face,
“I’m fine. I just brewed medicine for your Crown Princess Consort.”
Jun Chang’an: Aren’t you making too much medicine? Those who know will say that you’re making medicine. Those who don’t know will think that you’re the medicine.
Yu Wan even wanted to slap Old Cui to death. Return her beauty to her!
Old Cui cleared his throat and said to Jun Chang’an, “The pregnancy stabilizing medicine is ready. We can send it to the Crown Princess Consort. When she drinks the pregnancy stabilizing medicine, we can almost start to detoxify her. ”
“No need. You guys can go back,” Jun Chang’an said.
Old Cui was stunned, and so was Yu Wan. What did he mean by no need? They could go back now? There was a lot of information in these words!
Jun Chang’an paused. While he was excited, he also said with mixed feelings, “The Crown Princess Consort is awake… She’s been cured.”
It was not strange for her to wake up. After all, the person who poisoned her was dead, and the Gu in her body should be cured. But what did the last sentence mean? Was she cured?
In Han Jingshu’s room, Gu Lady was dumbfounded! She looked at Han Jingshu, who had opened her eyes and was looking at her. She trembled in fear and fell to the ground!
What was going on? What happened to the beauty pill? Why did you wake up?
Gu Lady was here to look for the thief who had stolen the Holy Soul Pearl. She had already asked around just now. The manor had indeed invited a divine doctor, and the divine doctor had a maidservant with him. Gu Lady estimated that the maidservant was the maidservant she had seen in the garden.
The divine doctor and maidservant had gone to brew medicine for the Crown Princess Consort. Her martial arts were not good, so it was impossible for her to sneak in. There was no reason for her to follow them, so she took out the beauty nourishment pill she had prepared long ago and said to the servants in the courtyard, “I have an ancestral pill here. I don’t know if it will work, but at this point, let’s make a Hail Mary effort!”
The servants knew how much Yan Huaijing valued the people from Full Moon Pavilion, and Gu Lady had also come to treat Han Jingshu. In other words, Gu Lady was equivalent to another divine doctor in everyone’s hearts.
Gu Lady sent medicine to Han Jingshu, so they naturally could not stop her. The servants welcomed Gu Lady in politely.
Gu Lady was just using the excuse of delivering medicine to stay in the room and wait for Old Cui and Yu Wan. However, there were so many servants watching her, so it was not good for her to wait. Therefore, she fed the beauty pill to Han Jingshu, and the scene from before happened.
No one knew better than Gu Lady the unsolvable nature of this Gu poison. Perhaps it was possible if Lie Feng was here, but she could definitely not resolve it, let alone that she did not really resolve it. What she fed was a beauty pill to nourish one’s blood and qi.
When did… the Beauty Pill have the effect of curing Gu?
Gu Lady was shocked.
The servants were overjoyed. “Miss Yi Man has a way!”
“Yes! It’s all thanks to Miss Yi Man!”
“Didn’t Imperial Bodyguard Jun bring back a divine doctor? He asked Imperial Bodyguard Jun to go and get the medicine, and then asked Sister Lu’er to prepare the courtyard. In the end, he didn’t do anything. We still had to rely on Miss Yi Man!”
Gu Lady had no idea how all of this happened. There was only one thought in her mind: Something bad has happened!
To be honest, Jun Chang’an was also quite troubled! If you have ancestral pills, wny didn’t you take tnem out earner YOU only t00K tnem out arter 1 was ruthlessly scammed by Bai Xiaosheng. Aren’t I paying such a high price for nothing?
“I’m really…” Jun Chang’an really wanted to kill someone! But then again… were there ancestral pills? How many generations had they been passed down? Were they sure they weren’t spoiled?
Although he was puzzled, it was a fact that Han Jingshu had woken up. He braced himself and came to report to Old Cui and Yu Wan, or rather… he gave the order to leave.
Yu Wan and Old Cui naturally understood how it happened. They killed the person who poisoned Han Jingshu and her Gu was cured. Coincidentally, someone fed Han Jingshu a pill and she picked up that loot.
Yu Wan was unhappy! Why did someone else pick up the gains after she cured the illness? Back then, they had agreed that the consultation fee would be ten thousand taels! And it was gold. Now that the credit belonged to others, didn’t that mean that ten thousand taels of gold had flown away?
Yu Wan coughed lightly. “Ahem, that… If I tell you that I was actually the one who cured your Crown Princess Consort’s Gu, would you believe me?”
Jun Chang’an glanced at Yu Wan indifferently. “Do you think the words ‘I’m a fool’ are written on my face?”
Yu Wan:
Damn!
