Chapter 38: Drug Who

POSTED ON JULY 17, 2023 BY TNYKT

Back in the mansion, the 3 of them entered Ye Ling’s house.

Ye Ling was no longer the scorched and stupid look. She was neatly tidied up. She was wearing loose clothes, wrapping her minimized wings inside. On the surface, she looked like a child wearing an adult’s clothes. She tucked her little hands into the sleeves and sat on the stone steps while hugging her knees, waiting for Qin Yi.

Seeing Qin Yi and Li Family’s brother and sister approaching, Ye Ling had a fleeting joyful expression, then she changed back to the indifferent and taciturn attitude before.

In front of Li Qinglin, her attitude had always been very indifferent, acting like a grown up.

Because whenever she showed a little childish feeling, Li Qinglin would tell her. How do you revenge like this? What can you accomplish?

Being a taciturn, indifferent and hateful beastkin by his side seemed to be a necessary form.

Qin Yi was better. Whether she was sitting on the ground or crawling all over the ground, not only would Qin Yi not scold her, but his eyes were more kind. His voice when telling stories was even a little gentle.

Li Qinglin didn’t care about her attitude. He entered the room, looked at the hole on the roof, and frowned, “Is the foreign cultivator really so powerful? She can kill people from a distance… This is really beyond expectations.”

Qin Yi asked, “Shouldn’t Ye Ling’s condition be your first concern?”

Li Qinglin smiled, “You’re the apothecary.”

In other words, he just had to pay attention to that kind.

Qin Yi shook his head helplessly and sighed, “Don’t worry about Ming He for now, but you must not provoke her.”

Li Qinglin said with a smile, “In fact, I have already seen her. She was watching me from a distant mountain when brother was going to be buried this morning. I sensed something and looked at her. At that time, I knew that she is the foreign cultivator whom Ye Ling mentioned.” The so-called foreign cultivator.”

Qin Yi was a little interested in their meeting, so he asked, “Then?”

“No then.” Li Qinglin said, “She might have something to ask me, but she didn’t want to say it after meeting me; I also thought about talking to her, but after meeting her, I knew there is no need to talk. I passed by her on the horse, and we separated far away in an instant.”

“Why?”

“Talking to the stars in the sky will not have any results.”

Qin Yi was thoughtful. This means that both parties know that they are absolutely different from each other. They both have firm beliefs that can’t be shaken by words, so there is no point in talking.

I still don’t have any firm beliefs like them. Instead, I’m like a dangling seaweed that can entangle with anyone.

Li Qingjun wondered, “Could it be the… taoist nun we met that day?”

Qin Yi felt relieved, “You’ve become smarter.”

In anger, Li Qingjun stretched her hand and pinched his waist. Qin Yi grabbed her hand, but she didn’t pull it out. She let him hold her hand with a flushed face.

This is showing affection in front of brother… Li Qingjun felt a little uneasy.

Li Qinglin looked at their hands and said with a smile, “Looking for immortals, but got a husband instead. In the end, only envy the mandarin ducks(a lovely couple), not immortals anymore.”

This sentence was quite interesting. Li Qingjun thought about it, but she also found it a little funny. Is this called the impermanence of the world?

“But…” Li Qinglin changed the subject, and his expression became solemn, “Do you really think things are fine now?”

Qin Yi’s heart tightened. He asked, “What happened to your father?”

“When you entered the palace this morning, we went to the funeral. We weren’t there, but in fact, almost every word you said to father will reach my ears. Of course, Dong Huazi’s ears as well.” Li Qinglin said, “Maybe you will think that father will be inclined to you… You were right to think that, but you haven’t experienced it yourself. You can’t imagine how much father trusts Dong Huazi.”

Li Qingjun said angrily, “What trouble did he cause again?”

“He went to the palace to see father.” Li Qinglin coughed twice, imitating Dong Huazi’s tone in a low voice, “Although the Qin Yi’s elixir is miraculous, it only cures common illnesses. It’s just mortal medical skills instead of the way of immortal. If emperor really appreciates him, then you can give him a mansion and make him an imperial doctor. He can take care of you all the time. The young boy is just attracted by the princess’ beauty, but if he is offered high position and good wealth, he will behave himself. By then, Qin Yi can treat emperor’s disease and princess still can be married to the West Savage Kingdom. Isn’t it the best of both worlds?”

Qin Yi said, “Then he is really blind.”

Li Qingjun also smiled. Qin Yi was certainly not that kind of person.

Li Qinglin said coldly, “The key is not whether his proposal is useful or not, but that father will choose to do so, which means that father and Qin Yi will be in a stalemate. This matter will not be achieved in the short term. A change will occur sooner or later. “

Both of them understood. Li Qingjun said angrily, “Why must Dong Huazi insist on sending me to the West Savage Kingdom?”

“Judging from their behavior, it’s not that they want you to marry now. They just want to make a marriage agreement first.” Li Qinglin smiled slightly, “Because there is no precedent for collateral succession in our kingdom, if something goes wrong with me one day, you are the sole legal heir of the South Li Kingdom.”

Li Qingjun’s eyes widened.

Qin Yi’s heart skipped a beat.

Everyone never thought about this…

“So the good deed between you two has now become the core of all events.” Li Qinglin laughed, “Brother Qin, work harder.”

Qin Yi held his head. These politicians are really disgusting. Why can’t they just let people fall in love naturally!

Liu Su suddenly urged, “Stupid, just take away chastity, and she will be your wife easily.”

It’s not that I’m not moved, but it’s actually useless. The other party’s strategy is not like this. Let alone taking her chastity, even if she is pregnant, it will not affect the other party’s strategy.

Li Qingjun suddenly took the spear and wanted to leave.

Qin Yi hurriedly pulled her back, “What are you doing?”

Li Qingjun said blankly, “I’m going to kill Mang Zhan.”

“You can’t, unless I send troops to surround the mansion.” Li Qinglin said, “If I openly mobilize troops in the capital, then I will be no different from plotting treason.”

Li Qingjun said angrily, “Then we will elope!”

Elope is good. I long wanted to do that. I really don’t want to stay in this shitty place. Just do whatever you want, Dong Huazi. I won’t mess with you, okay? Just look at your own face. You ingest a stomach full of lead and mercury. How many can you live…

Li Qinglin said, “Thing is not at the worst, why should you do that? What do you think I was doing just now?”

Li Qingjun looked at him expectantly.

“I’m not sure about raising the value of Brother Qin, but I can do something to lower the value of Mang Zhan.” Li Qinglin said leisurely, “Maybe the father doesn’t care who the real murderer is, but it is enough to just converge the public opinions in the imperial court. Princess can never marry the murderer of her brother. So I led a team to yell at the door of Mang Zhan just now, calling for the murderer to come out and die. Now the news has probably spread throughout the capital. Dong Huazi can’t do anything even if he wants to.”

Li Qingjun said happily, “As expected of brother.”

Li Qinglin looked at her for a while and said slowly, “Qingjun, I have something to discuss with Brother Qin, how about you go back home for now? You 2 still have plenty of time to be with each other in the future.”

Li Qingjun said, “What else can I not listen to?”

“If I want Brother Qin to drug you, will you listen?” Li Qinglin blinked, “This is not very good.”

Li Qingjunfei blushed and said angrily, “Indecent!” But she no longer insisted on listening in. She just warned Qin Yi, “Don’t listen to his bad ideas.”

After speaking, she ran away like fleeing for her life.

Watching her figure go away, Qin Yi sighed slightly, “You scolded Mang Zhan just for putting up a show, but it’s useless at all; fooling her away is not to discuss how to drug her. The one you want to drug… Just make it clear.”

Li Qinglin’s eyes became deep. They looked at each other quietly. The autumn wind swept past, and the dead leaves on the ground danced. Ye Ling, who had been quiet, shivered after looking at their expressions.
