The Sickly Emperor Is Only Immune to Me

Chapter 186: Chapter 186: Antidote

Hong Zhao gave her a faint glance upon hearing the words.

That glance was indifferent and cold, carrying a warning and displeasure.

Qing Wu, frightened, covered her mouth, “Lady, please calm your anger. Your servant has spoken out of turn.”

Hong Zhao retracted her gaze, took a sip of hot tea, and her complexion finally regained some rosiness.

“She believed it, but the person behind her surely didn’t.”

She thought of the Emperor, a man not easily dealt with.

Even though they had only met once.

She could still feel the oppression and danger emanating from him.

No wonder Mr. Jiu suffered a loss at his hands.

Thinking of Mr. Jiu, a hint of malevolence flashed through Hong Zhao’s dark, chilling eyes, If they made Mr. Jiu unhappy, then it would be her role to punish them.

Qing Wu, unaware of Hong Zhao’s thoughts, frowned and said, “If the Emperor doesn’t believe us, what shall we do?”

There wasn’t a trace of worry on Hong Zhao’s tender face.

She stepped off the couch, walked barefoot to the table, picked up a brush, and wrote down a prescription.

Qing Wu picked up her shoes and placed them at her feet, “Lady, please put them on quickly. You mustn’t catch a cold.”

Hong Zhao lifted her delicate white feet, put on her shoes, and handed over the prescription.

Qing Wu, who had been full of worry, now turned her concern into joy upon seeing the prescription.

She knew the Lady was the smartest and most clever.

The prescription contained ingredients that would surely go unnoticed by the mediocre doctors within Quanzhou City.

“Lucky for us that Mr. Jiu used the Cicada Heart, a poison researched and developed by the Lady herself. Had it been something else, it might have taken more time.”

She flattered her and, at the end, added cleverly, “Mr. Jiu will surely come to visit the Lady when he finds the time if he knows how much you’ve helped him.”
