Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 390

Chapter 390: Chapter 387: Secret Medicine_1

Lu Ninghuan’s words had just fallen when she saw Bai Jinzhi coming out of the house. She hurriedly saluted Bai Jinzhi: "Fourth Miss!"

"Gugugu!" Bai Jinzhi returned the greeting, "Thank you for coming, Gugugu!"

Bai Jinzhi stepped aside to make way at the door. Chun Tao lifted the curtain to invite Lu Ninghuan inside.

Bai Jinzhi, feeling fatigued, rubbed her own neck. Seeing this Ji Langhua, who was the same Miss Ji she had met in the southern border region, truly gave Bai Jinzhi a fright.

Bai Jinzhi originally wanted to stay and wait for Ji Langhua to wake up to ask for the truth. However, her eldest sister said that Miss Ji did not know when she would wake up and told her to go back first to change clothes and eat something to rest.

Having ridden a horse for several days, Bai Jinzhi was indeed tired, so she obediently went back to rest.

Bai Qingyan was standing by the bed, watching Shen Qingzhu apply a hot towel to Ji Langhua’s face. She wondered why Ji Langhua had made such a scene, informing everyone in Dadu City that she had a life-saving medicine, and what it was all for.

"Eldest Miss!" Lu Ninghuan saluted Bai Qingyan, "May I take a look at this young lady?"

Bai Qingyan turned to look at Lu Ninghuan and returned the salute: "Thank you, Gugugu!"

Lu Ninghuan washed her hands on the side and wiped them with a towel before sitting on a cushioned stool by the bed to feel Ji Langhua’s pulse. Her gaze fell on Ji Langhua’s face, and she furrowed her brows while examining closely.

The maid following Lu Ninghuan placed her medicine box aside and took out a small leather-wrapped package of gold needles.

Lu Ninghuan came to her senses, drew out a gold needle, and carefully pricked the tiger’s mouth of Ji Langhua, gently rotating it.

In just a moment, Ji Langhua gradually awoke.

Lu Ninghuan withdrew the silver needle and placed Ji Langhua’s hand under the quilt, lowering her eyes to tuck in the corners of the blanket.

Ji Langhua stared at Lu Ninghuan, her pupils trembling for a second. Almost instinctively, she grabbed Lu Ninghuan’s hand but immediately released it.

"This young lady seems to have only external injuries or is too overworked, which caused her to faint. Resting and drinking some medicine should remedy it." Lu Ninghuan softly said to Bai Qingyan.

Bai Qingyan’s gaze fell on Lu Ninghuan and then on Ji Langhua. She spoke: "Then I will trouble Gugugu to prescribe for Miss Ji!"

Seeing Lu Ninghuan salute and go behind the screen to write a prescription, Bai Qingyan withdrew her gaze and looked at Ji Langhua: "You made such a big fuss, even at the cost of staging a play to exhume Ah Ming’s grave, just to spread the news that you had a life-saving medicine. What are you plotting?"

Ji Langhua struggled to sit up, looking at Bai Qingyan with cold and indifferent eyes, her own eyes turning red.

The Young General Bai in front of her, dressed in women’s clothing, was vastly different from the Young General Bai she saw in the southern border region, making her features even more stunning.

"Your grandfather was not at fault, but he did not kill Bo Ren. Bo Ren died because of him. Your grandfather’s fate was not undeserved." Bai Qingyan’s eyes were steadfast. "Do you seek revenge for your grandfather?"

Ji Langhua shook her head: "Had I intended to seek revenge, I should have started planning years ago. My intent to kill the tyrant is to follow my conscience. This Emperor is selfish, cruel, and has committed countless evil deeds yet still wishes to leave behind a good name. As such, he exterminated the nine clans of Imperial Censor Jian Congwen! The Duke of Zhen’s Mansion relies on the Duke of Zhen’s Mansion for national defense, yet he views the Duke of Zhen’s achievements with distrust, allowing the Princes to harm loyal subjects of Jin... There are no men left in the Duke of Zhen’s Mansion! If Ji Langhua, a person of lowly status, can take the life of the tyrant, then my life would not have been in vain."

The Emperor’s death and the Crown Prince’s ascension might not necessarily bring about a better ruler.

Moreover, with Lu Ninghuan around, the Emperor’s headache symptoms had been alleviated. How much longer could he live with her treatment?

This matter did not require the addition of Ji Langhua.

Bai Qingyan did not say much to Ji Langhua and only said: "You need to rest well. We will discuss this in a few days, Qingzhu, have someone keep an eye on her!"

"Young General Bai!" Ji Langhua called out, but it did not stop Bai Qingyan from leaving.

She had initially made a fuss at the official government’s gate and then at the Duke of Zhen’s Mansion, but it was just to let more people know that she possessed the Life-Reviving Immortal Pill. Now that the task was done, she should have left.

Not long after Bai Qingyan left the room, Lu Ninghuan also came out, looking somewhat surprised to see Bai Qingyan waiting at the door: "Eldest Miss..." _{freewebnσvel.cøm}

"I heard that Gugugu entered the palace today to diagnose the Emperor?" Bai Qingyan signaled Lu Ninghuan to walk with her.

Walking beside Bai Qingyan, Lu Ninghuan nodded: "Yes, I can confirm that His Majesty indeed used the secret aphrodisiac from Xiliang."
