Chapter 76.1 – Caught a Fruit Thief (1)

Lu Jun Wu was startled by Du Xiao Li’s words, and then glared at her with a fierce look, “Where did this lying little

brat come from, move aside! If you all don’t go call that imperial physician for me, I will smash this place up, and

then go find your Feng Ming’s Emperor to reason with!”

Du Xiao Li looked to Lu Jun Wu and said, “Fourth prince, as expected, has this place seen as your Eastern Li,

wanting to make a scene anywhere you want!”

“What? You’re saying I’m making a scene like a shrew?! Are you looking to die!” Lu Jun Wu originally was just

frightened by Lu Jun Qi’s situation, afterwards completely muddled by anger because of Du Xiao Li’s slow arrival,

and now hearing Du Xiao Li’s words, drew the knife at his waist and swung towards Du Xiao Li.

Du Xiao Li watched him charge over, not moving an inch, only watching Lu Jun Wu come over.

(T/N: We are dealing with some quality writing right here, double the watching, in case you missed it the first time–

——-sometimes I really am conflicted when I encounter sentences like these.)

“Junior sister! Be careful!”

“Imperial Physician Du!”

“Fourth prince!”

Everyone in the room were all startled by this turn of events, wanting to rush forward to save Du Xiao Li, yet

simply couldn’t catch up with Lu Jun Wu’s speed.

‘Clang——‘

Just when the blade was about to reach Du Xiao Li, something flew in from outside and had Lu Jun Wu’s knife,

following which a person emitting cold air all over flew in from outside and came to Du Xiao Li’s side, shielding

her. With a face full of killing intent, he looked to Lu Jun Qi and said, “Fourth prince, this is wanting to incite war

between the two countries?”

“It was really dangerous just now. Little sister-in-law, why didn’t you dodge?!” Han Ming Yuan followed in from

outside the room and shouted towards Du Xiao Li.

Du Xiao Li turned to Han Ming Yuan who shouldn’t have appeared and skeptically asked, “Didn’t you go to

Medicine King Valley? How come you came back this soon?”

“Little sister-in-law, now is not the time to talk about this. You still haven’t explained why you didn’t dodge just

now. Did you know, just now in the courtyard, when we saw the blade flying towards you, we nearly lost our souls!

Fifth brother was scared he wouldn’t be able to save you in time!” Han Ming Yuan said.

DU Xiao Li looked to Han Ming Yi, who was emitting cold air all over. She rubbed her nose and said, “Even if you

all don’t come, nothing would happen to me.”

“How can that be? Did you think he’d stop at the last moment? He……..” Han Ming Yuan wanted to point to Lu Jun

Wu for Du Xiao Li to see, yet discovered that Lu Jun Wu right now was indeed motionlessly standing there. His

hand was even in the same position from when Han Ming Yi knocked the blade away just now.

“What’s wrong with him?”

“He’s poisoned………” Outside the door, a silver haired, delicately good-looking man in white, carrying faint

sullenness between his brows, walked in and softly said.

“Po-poisoned?” Han Ming Yuan looked to Lu Jun Wu in disbelief, discovering that his appearance was indeed like

he was poisoned.

After the silver haired man entered, he cupped his hands and bowed toward Niu Jing, “Eldest senior brother.”

Afterwards, he turned around and looked to Du Xiao Li, saying with a smile, “This must be our little junior sister?”

(T/N: Damn Niu Jing I underestimated you, I completely forgot you the oldest old man of the Medicine King

Valley’s disciples…….how come your skills don’t match your seniority—-)

“En, she’s Xiao Li. Xiao Li, this is your ninth senior brother, Qing Chen.” Niu Jing returned to his sense from the

shock just now and introduced for Du Xiao Li

“Xiao Li greets senior brother Qing Chen.” Du Xiao Li curtsied towards Qing Chen.

“Little sister-in-law, how did he get poisoned?” Han Ming Yuan asked.

“If I told you, how am I going to get by?” Du Xiao Li said, “Today’s just the seventh day, how did you all rush back

this quickly?”

The average person would’ve just arrived in Medicine King Valley at this time?!

“Of course it’s because my qinggong is good, traveling day and night to rush to Medicine King Valley. The medicine

sage, after learning that you prolonged the fire and ice poison to ten days, urgently wanted to come see the situation,

so we also used qinggong to fly back. I haven’t slept in several days already. I’m going to go find a place to catch up

on sleep first.” With that said, Han Ming Yuan went out yawning.

These last few days have really exhausted him. For the sake of being able to arrive quickly, he spent two whole days

rushing there. In between, he didn’t even stop once to rest. Who knew that when he met the medicine sage, the

medicine sage wanted to urgently rush over. So thus he didn’t get to rest again. If not for this incident just now

practically scaring away all his sleepiness, right now he probably would’ve fallen asleep already.

“Are you okay?” Han Ming Yi, seeing Lu Jun Wu not moving an inch, had his attention turned to Du Xiao Li, and

tenderly asked.

“I’m fine.” Du Xiao Li shook her head and extended her hand to smooth out the creases in his brow, “Sorry, I made

you worry.”

“Quickly let go of me!” Lu Jun Wu looked to Du Xiao Li, finally believing that she really was the doctor in charge

of curing Lu Jun Qi.

Du Xiao Li stretched her head out and looked to Lu Jun Wu and said, “Have you calmed down? If you still want to

chop me, or cause trouble in Feng Ming, I don’t want to look for trouble for myself.”

“Miss Du, the fourth prince is just too worried about princess’s situation, that’s why he was reckless. Asking you to

please don’t take offense.” Yue Yin came up and said.

Du Xiao Li glanced at Han Ming Yi, and seeing that he didn’t have any objections, took out a medicine bottle and

had the lid on top opened. Afterwards, she pinched her own nose and had the bottle shoved under Lu Jun Wu’s nose

for him to smell. After that, she withdrew her hand and put the lid back on.

“What is this, why is it this smelly!” Lu Jun Wu waved his hand in front of his face a few times and said with a

disgusted expression, “Eh, I can move again?!”

Du Xiao Li ignored him and turned to Qing Chen, “Senior brother Qing Chen, since you’re here, why don’t you go

see the third princess.”

“Alright.”

Yue Yin moved a stool to place by the bedside, letting Qing Chen sit down to examine Lu Jun Qi.

Lu Jun Wu although wasn’t a citizen of Feng Ming, but the Medicine King Valley’s reputation, he still knows, and

the medicine sage Qing Chen’s name further resonated throughout Eastern Li’s every island. Right now, seeing Qing

Chen examine Lu Jun Qi, he although wanted to reason with Du Xiao Li, he was further worried about his older

sister’s situation. That’s why, he could only shoot Du Xiao Li a glare, and then come to the bedside, anxiously

watching Qing Chen.

“Junior brother, how is it?” A while later, after Qing Chen finished examining, Niu Jing came up and asked.

“Surely little junior sister must be very familiar with this poison king’s poison?” Qing Chen looked to Du Xiao Li

and said.

Du Xiao Li nodded and nonchalantly admitted, “I’m rather interested in his poison, so in these years, I’ve studied

them quite a lot.”

“Truthfully speaking, this fire and ice poison, I previously have also studied back at the valley. Although I also

thought of a way to suppress it, I’m unable to suppress it this long like you. This senior brother willingly concedes in

defeat.” As he spoke, Qing Chen bowed towards Du Xiao Li.

“Senior brother, what are you doing!” Du Xiao Li quickly went forward to stop Qing Chen from bowing.

“Say, how exactly is my third imperial sister’s situation right now?” Lu Jun Wu asked.

“As long as you don’t yell and shout here, your third sister will be able to wake up very soon!” Du Xiao Li glanced

at Lu Jun Wu and said.

Lu Jun Wu right now still didn’t know how Du Xiao Li poisoned him previously. Right now, seeing her expression

somewhat not good, whatever he’d wanted to say, in the end, could only be transformed into an unreconciling

glance.

“Little junior sister, did you think of a way to cure the poison?” Qing Chen somewhat excited asked.

“The specifics still haven’t come out, but earlier, I’ve already figured out the logistics. It’ll be possible in the next

few days.” Du Xiao Li replied.

“Really, then can this senior brother research together with you.” Qing Chen asked.

“Alright, with senior brother around, it’ll definitely progress much faster!” Du Xiao Li said with a smile.

Seeing the smile on Du Xiao Li’s face, the cold air around Han Ming Yi slowly dispersed. He looked to Lu Jun Wu

and said, “Fourth prince, right now W , why don’t you take a trip to the palace with this prince.”
