Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage
Chapter 582 - 581: Testing

Chapter 582: Chapter 581: Testing

Dongqing’s injuries were urgent and could not be neglected.

Thus, Xiaoyao didn’t even pay attention to Fu Ning’s astonishment. After taking the medicine bottle from her, she closed the door and began to perform acupuncture on Dongqing.

The acupuncture technique... was exactly the same as well.

Fu Ning felt goosebumps all over her scalp as she watched.

Her heart tightened again and again.

She had barely calmed down when, taking advantage of Xiaoyao tending to Dongqing’s wounds, she asked casually,

"Xiaoyao, where are you from?"

"I don’t know."

"Why did you come to the Imperial City?"

"I came to find my master."

"Who is your master?"

"I can’t say." Xiaoyao didn’t know what her master was here in the Imperial City to do, but he must have his mission.

The master was an assassin and must have many enemies.

About the master, she absolutely could not divulge anything.

"Xiaoyao, have you been with your master since you were young?" Fu Ning asked again.

This question made Xiaoyao hesitate somewhat.

However, her master had instructed that she must never tell anyone that he saved her when she was seriously injured.

She also couldn’t tell anyone about many of her secrets.

So, in the end, Xiaoyao just nodded casually and said, "Yes."

Fu Ning felt a wave of disappointment inside.

Having been with her master since she was young certainly wasn’t... wasn’t what she had imagined.

Moreover, if she really was Ali, how could she possibly not reveal it?

Everyone here was her dearest friends and kin!

What on earth was she thinking? How could she doubt that Xiaoyao was Ali?

Had she gone mad?

But still...

"Okay, I’ve administered the needles and cleared your blood vessels. You won’t have any more blood stasis in your chest, and you won’t vomit blood anymore."

Xiaoyao put away the needles and stood up straight.

Dongqing opened her mouth and found that she could speak and wouldn’t vomit blood anymore.

She was overjoyed, her face full of gratitude, "Thank you... thank you, miss."

As she spoke, she was about to get down from the bed.

In a Prince’s place, she didn’t dare to stay on the bed.

Xiaoyao glanced at her and huffed, "If you don’t care about your life, feel free to get down."

Dongqing was so frightened that she dared not make a single move, "Miss, I... I am only a maid..."

"Isn’t a maid a person? Can a maid’s life be trampled recklessly?"

Xiaoyao said disdainfully, "That so-called Empress, it seems, is not a good person either."

"Miss..." Dongqing was terrified, her face ashen.

Fu Ning, however, was looking at Xiaoyao, and the doubts that she had finally suppressed in her heart rose once again.

This way of speaking was all too familiar.

Even the manner was so similar...

That day, Chu Qianli followed Yexuan out and did not stay out for very long.

She returned early.

After returning, Chu Qianli’s mood was not good. It seemed that her outing with the Prince was not very enjoyable.

Nobody knew what had happened.

But several servants suffered quite a few grievances.

Fu Ning saw a young maid covering her face as she came out when she was returning. That face had clearly been hit.

The Empress was in a bad mood and took it out on her servants again.

Fu Ning took a deep breath before entering.

Inside, she harbored too many questions.

She approached Chu Qianli, bowed her head, and spoke softly, "Your Majesty, I was inadvertently injured when I went out today. May I receive some medicine from Your Majesty?"

Chu Qianli frowned, displeased, "When you are injured, why don’t you go to the pharmacy for medicine? Why come to Us?"

The clear impatience showed she hadn’t enjoyed her outing!

Fu Ning pursed her lips with a glimmer of peculiarity flickering in her eyes.

Without betraying her emotions, she continued, "The medicine Your Majesty concocts is much more effective than those in the pharmacy! Whenever I have been injured before, it was always Your Majesty’s medicine that healed me."

She lifted her head, looking at Chu Qianli, the tips of her fingers hidden in her sleeves, slowly tightening.

"The last time, that green bottle of ointment, I found it very comfortable to use. May I ask Your Majesty to grant me another bottle?"
