“How dare you!” Ruan Qingqing pointed at Ruan Jiujiu, and trembled like winnowing chaff, rolling her eyes.

Ruan Jiujiu’s scolding was as harsh as peeling her skin bloodily, which made her feel shocked, painful and frightened, so she glared at her with anger.

“What? Do you have any questions?” Ruan Jiujiu squinted her eyes and looked at Ruan Qingqing, her momentum like an icy knife, cutting her face, “Ruan Qingqing, I have never forgot all villainies you have done to me these years.”

Ruan Qingqing paled instantly, stepped back and fell down on the ground.

Did she mean to avenge now?

Ruan Qingqing, who had never put Ruan Jiujiu in her eyes, now felt frightened suddenly. Because she felt a hint of killing from Ruan Jiujiu

Ruan Jiujiu was her deadly foe forever!

Casting a scornful glance at Ruan Qingqing who was sitting on the ground, Ruan Jiujiu raised her eyebrows leisurely and looked around, then pointed at Concubine Dan and said, “Look, Concubine Dan has been detoxified.”

Concubine Dan has been detoxified?

All of them turned to the concubine, and the sixth prince also rushed to her side. At this moment, nobody would care about Ruan Qingqing

Ruan Qingqing found Empress Xiao was staring at the concubine anxiously; as for Beiming Ting, her future husband, he also passed by coldly, making her feel more depressed and tightly clenching her fists.

The concubine was saved by Ruan Jiujiu indeed.

Her face had been covered by the poisonous lines, but now those lines disappeared and her jade white skin showed up.

Her eyelashes trembled, and she hummed slightly. It seemed that she would wake up soon.

No one there believed that Ruan Jiujiu can detoxify the poison first, but now the effect was obvious, and they all thought she was amazing.

Even Imperial Physician Shen was surprised.

And he was so impressed by her so called “secret recipe.”

Ruan Qingqing resentfully looked at Concubine Dan, who was about to wake up, and there was a hint of viciousness in her eyes. Then she glanced quickly at Empress Xiao.

Empress Xiao stood up, and walked toward the concubine.

“My sis, how do you feel now?”

The concubine opened her eyes. She saw her son first and then heard the voice of Empress Xiao. So she turned to the Empress and found she was looking at her with concern.

She frowned slightly and tried to avoid her face, and looked around to find her husband, Emperor Tianlong, and softly said, “My Emperor, what happened to me?”

“My dear, how do you feel?” The Emperor asked with curiosity.

She sat up with the support of her son, and smiled, “I just feel weak now, also a little bit dizzy.”

“Nothing strange?” He asked.

Actually, he did want her to be fine, but not want her to wake up in this way.

Because Ruan Jiujiu just kept stressing that she was the maiden of Beiming Xuan, but now he couldn’t find any clues on her, and he also needed to show his gratitude to Beiming Xuan.

Because her contribution was also owned by her master.

This made him very uncomfortable and depressed.

But the concubine shook her head, “Nothing else. I only feel a bit groggy now.”

Her feelings were real, which made the Emperor feel kind of disappointed, but he could not show up on his face now.

So he turned to Ruan Jiujiu, who was standing below him.

She was standing there at ease, which annoyed him very much.

“Ruan Jiujiu, you saved the concubine, and that is a credit for you, but the Wusi poison...” He spoke so while looking at Beiming Xuan.

The Wusi poison had been connected with the assassin issue that happened in Yun Palace, so he must investigate it thoroughly. Because it was Raun Jiujiu who found this poison, there must be clues on her.

Ruan Jiujiu belonged to Beiming Xuan, so he had to investigate the Ming Mansion later, and that must be very annoying.

The reason why he said so was that he could not just take her away in front of Beiming Xuan.

But this time, he underestimated his young brother.

“My elder brother, although she made a contribution, it is her obligation. If you really want to reward her, please don’t be so serious. I am afraid this poor chick could not stand your reward”

His words silenced the hall.

Ruan Jiujiu tried her best not to laugh out, because she knew if she did that, Beiming Xuan would slap her face directly.

The Emperor really wanted to reward her?

But now he had no choice but to do so!

And he just said that her detoxification was a credit, so if he refused, wouldn’t he seem like an imperial miser?

He must have been so depressed at the moment!

The rewarding section was the second, but now the first thing for him was how to reply Beiminng Xuan.

“Reward you...” The Emperor’s heart was broken, although Beiming Xuan said he didn’t have to do his honor, if he really follow his order, he would not only be defeated by him, but also make him look niggardly.

His face turned black and he secretly clenched his teeth.

“Reward Ruan Jiujiu ten thousand taels of gold, three hundred kilograms of pearl, and ten boxes of jewels!”

Really? That was a handsome reward!

Empress Xiao and others were shocked, and even Ruan Jiujiu couldn’t help frowning.

Although she had no idea about the concept of ancient money, she could still know that she made a fortune now.

“My Emperor, thank you so much!” She was grateful sincerely.

Emperor Tianlong looked at her, but winked suddenly, like smiling, “Don’t be harsh, I haven’t finished yet.”
