Female Master: The Cold Prince

This was the scene Xiahou Jiuyue saw when she got off the carriage. The person's face was slightly red from the cold, but facing the biting cold wind, she still sat upright and elegant, calm and composed, not affected by it at all.

Shangguan Linglong was concentrating on writing a prescription for a patient when she suddenly felt a cloak put on her body. She looked up with a puzzled look, only to see a woman in red with a cold and beautiful face standing beside her.

"Your Highness!" she exclaimed immediately, with a flash of surprise in her eyes.

Suddenly, the people around were surprised to hear the exclamation of Shangguan Divine Doctor. "Prince? Which prince?"

They looked at the woman in red who suddenly appeared and found her stunning.

Xiahou Jiuyue felt the gazes of the people and looked at Shangguan Linglong helplessly. She didn't know why this person was so excited and almost exposed his identity.

Shangguan Linglong knew that she had said something wrong, so she spoke again: "Jiu, Jiuyue."

There was a hint of unnaturalness in her eyes. For some reason, she felt extremely embarrassed to be called by this name.

"It's winter now, I brought you some clothes." Xiahou Jiuyue explained the reason for coming here. Look at this man, he is wearing such thin clothes, he is almost frozen to death.

"Thank you." Shangguan Linglong said with a warm feeling in her heart.

"You go ahead and do your work. I'll wait for you."

Ye Yi brought a chair from somewhere so that Xiahou Jiuyue could sit on it.

"Okay." Shangguan Linglong said, then turned around and continued to work.

There was a long queue of people lined up in front of the table at this time. They were all from the nearby villages. When they heard that there was a miracle doctor who could take pulses and diagnose illnesses for free, they all flocked to take a look.

There were many people coming to see the doctor, so Xiahou Jiuyue took the initiative to help and was responsible for writing prescriptions.

With her help, Shangguan Linglong felt a lot more relaxed. While taking the patient's pulse, she explained in detail the prescription that would be used. Ye Yi was also not idle, and took the initiative to develop pens, ink, and cut paper pages.

With the help of the two, the long line reached the end in less than two hours. The three of them were busy for the whole afternoon, and many enthusiastic villagers even sent them some food and water.

It was not until the sky gradually darkened and the last citizen left with the prescription that the three men began to pack up their stall.

During this period of time, Shangguan Linglong was staying in a villager's house. The villagers here were simple and hospitable. When they saw that the miracle doctor had closed his stall, they came over one after another to help him close the stall.

The stall was handed over to the enthusiastic villagers to clean up. Shangguan Linglong greeted them and followed Xiahou Jiuyue into the carriage.

Inside the carriage, there was a small stove that Ye Yi had prepared in advance, making the whole carriage warm.

"Your Highness, the antidote for this poison has been developed and has been given to the villagers. However, I still need to stay in the village for a few days and observe for a while." Shangguan Linglong said as soon as she got into the car.

"Linglong, you have worked hard during this period." Xiahou Jiuyue said sincerely as she looked at her slightly red face from the cold.

"Your Highness, please don't speak so seriously. It makes me feel uncomfortable." Shangguan Linglong said, avoiding her gaze.

Hearing this, Xiahou Jiuyue raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at her with a hint of inquiry in her eyes. This person always looked carefree before, why is he shy now?

I felt a little surprised, but I didn't continue the previous topic, so I said: "I brought you some warm clothes and some daily necessities. I knew it was getting cold, but I didn't go back home to get some clothes. Look how frozen you are."

Hearing the concern and reproach in her words, Shangguan Linglong felt indescribably complicated. She actually didn't want to go back. She couldn't tell the reason, but she just felt inexplicably resistant.

Seeing that she looked dazed, Xiahou Jiuyue felt strange inside. For some reason, she felt that Linglong seemed to have changed. She was not as lively and cheerful as before, and there was always a hint of sadness between her brows.

"Linglong, what's wrong with you? Are you having any difficulties?"

She couldn't help but worry. Linglong was one of her few good friends and she didn't want anything to happen to her.

Shangguan Linglong came back to her senses instantly, hiding the emotions in her eyes, and said with a slight smile: "It's okay, I just thought of something and was too engrossed. Don't worry."

After listening to her explanation, Xiahou Jiuyue felt relieved. There were some things Linglong didn't want to say, and she couldn't force her. Everyone has their own privacy, right?

The two chatted about the current progress of the incident in the carriage and analyzed what had happened. It was not until it was completely dark that they went back to their respective places.

Shangguan Linglong returned to the home of the villager where she had stayed before. She stayed there to take the villagers' pulses and examine their conditions every day, mainly to prevent them from being poisoned again. As for the poisoned people in the surrounding towns, she had given the antidote to the prince and asked him to distribute it.

As soon as Xiahou Jiuyue returned to the mansion, she saw Ye Shi with a gloomy face. Just one glance and she knew that Ye Lin must have found out something.

Ye Lin's actions were indeed quick. Just one afternoon had passed, and she had already sneaked into Jiang Huanyu's room and found some items.

In the study

"Master, this is a token that Ye Lin took out from Jiang Huanyu's room." Ye Shi handed over a token made of special material.

Seeing the golden token, Xiahou Jiuyue's eyes darkened, and she finally understood why Ye Shi had such a gloomy face.

Only royal family members have this kind of golden token, and the word engraved on the back of the token is "Duan".

So, what happened in Dongchengzhou was all Xiahou Yan's doing?

If not, how could the token representing Prince Duan's identity appear in Jiang Huanyu's room?

"Notify Ye Lin and let her come back."

Now that she knows the mastermind behind this, tomorrow she will make the entire Juesha Hall cease to exist.

"Yes." Ye Shi said with bloodthirsty excitement in her eyes. This day had finally come. She hadn't killed anyone for a long time and she felt itchy in her heart.

The next morning, before setting off, Ye Shi had not returned for a long time. Xiahou Jiuyue became puzzled as to why it took so long to pick someone up.

Just as she was wondering, she saw Ye Shi returning with a heavy face. Her heart sank suddenly, and she felt an ominous feeling.

"Master, Ye Lin is dead!" Ye Shi said in a heavy and hoarse voice.

"!!!" Ye Yi, who was standing next to him, was shocked when he heard that.

Xiahou Jiuyue's aura instantly dropped to freezing point. As expected, when she saw Ye Shi coming back alone with a look of hostility, she knew this would be the result.

"How did you know?" she asked Ye Shi.

Logically speaking, Ye Shi couldn't enter the Juesha Hall, so how did she know that Ye Lin was dead?

“I was waiting outside the hall, but I couldn’t see Ye Lin no matter how long I waited. I felt uneasy, so I wandered around the hall. Unexpectedly, I saw Ye Lin’s body deep in the jungle.” Ye Shi said with a sad face, her eyes full of hatred. She was determined to kill everyone in Juesha Hall.

Xiahou Jiuyue analyzed Ye Shi's words carefully. As she said, it seemed that Ye Lin was killed because his identity was exposed.

But Ye Lin has always been cautious, how could she suddenly reveal her identity? The only people who knew her identity were Jiang Huaiying and the other two who came to her house yesterday. Could it be...

"Follow me to the prefecture."
