As Du Xiao Li was leaving the courtyard, about to return to the medicine room, she heard someone call for her .

Turning around, she saw Fan Nuo'er and asked, “Fan Nuo'er disciple, do you need something?”

“s.h.i.+shu, I want to go together with you to the medicine room, want to see how s.h.i.+shu is going to concoct the

medicine for inhibiting the gu, is that okay? Perhaps, I can also help you!” Fan Nuo'er said, getting right to the

point . However, why did her words not sound like a request, but rather more like an order .

Du Xiao Li smiled and said, “You all have been traveling for a few days, and must be very tired now . Why don't you

go rest first . As for making the medicine, I can handle it myself . If there's the need, I will ask for your help . Xia

Yuan, send disciple Nuo'er to go rest . ”

“Miss Nuo'er, this way . ” Xia Yuan walked out from behind Du Xiao Li and made a gesture at Fan Nuo'er .

“Then Nuo'er won't disturb you . Just, little s.h.i.+shu, sometimes when doing things, one should best act within one's

own capabilities . One shouldn't randomly use the Grand Empress Dowager for experiments . Else, if something

happens, it'll implicate the entire Medicine King Valley and Prime Minister Manor . ” Fan Nuo'er finished saying and

left first, no longer looking at Du Xiao Li . Xia Yuan quickly went after her to lead her to her temporary residence

“She's just rather full of youthful vigor, don't take it to heart . ” Qing Chen came out from the courtyard and said to

Du Xiao Li .

Du Xiao Li looked to Qing Chen, his head of silver hair s.h.i.+ning under the sunlight . In addition to his fullbody white

robes, and his calm expression, he really did somewhat give off the feeling of 'untainted by the mortal world' . She

nodded her head at him and said, “I know . ”

(T/N: Qing Chen's name translates to 'clear of dust', so 'untainted by the mortal world' is synonymous with his

name . )

Qing Chen looked to Du Xiao Li and felt she really was an unusual girl of the mortal world . She was neither

arrogant nor impatient, calmly conducting herself in society, like she'd already experienced 'the blue sea turning into

the mulberry fields' . Clearly she was the one that was younger, yet she was very tolerable of Fan Nuo'er's temper,

like she was actually the older one .

(T/N: I really like the idiom 'the blue sea turning into the mulberry fields', it's one of my favorites . It means along

the lines of 'great changes in the world' . )

“Do you need my help for preparing the medicine?”

“If senior brother doesn't have anything else to do, you're welcome to help me . ” Du Xiao Li replied .

The reason why she didn't agree to Fan Nuo'er was because she didn't see the intention to help from Fan Nuo'er's

eyes . She merely just wanted to see how she was going to do it . Since her mind wasn't on helping prepare the

medicine, then her going would just would only be a hinderance . But Qing Chen however really did want to help

her, wanting to have the medicine developed as quickly as possible . That's why she was willing to invite him .

After the two went to the medicine room, they researched all the way into the evening . Right before dinner, Xia

Yuan came to tell them to go eat, only then did Du Xiao Li and Qing Chen finally leave the medicine room . The

specifics of the medicine have already been configured . The rest was just turning the medical ingredients into a pill

tomorrow .

Arriving at the dining hall, Du Xiao Li saw the originally one able having already turned into two . She looked to the

skies, 'How did it become this many people?'

“Your Highness, Ding w.a.n.g, are you thirsty? How about drink some water?” Fan Nuo'er's voice came through,

attracting Du Xiao Li's attention . Du Xiao Li looked over, just happening to see Fan Nuo'er placing a cup of water

in front of Han Ming Yi . Her body moving closer to Han Ming Yi with a seducing smile .

(T/N: Well someone's thirsty and it ain't Ding w.a.n.g——)

Du Xiao Li's mood instantly withered . She looked to those large weapons on Fan Nuo'er's chest, and then looked to

her own little buns, can't help but to pout as she shot a glare at Han Ming Y

Han Ming Yi already knew Nuo'er's ident.i.ty . He glanced to the cup she placed before him, but didn't move .

Suddenly, he sensed a furious gaze, and when he turned his head to look, Du Xiao Li had already s.h.i.+fted her eyes,

turning away . He immediately got up and walked towards her .

Seeing Han Ming Yi ignore her and walking over to talk to Du Xiao Li as soon as she appeared, Fan Nuo'er angrily

stomped her foot .

“Li'er . ” When Han Ming Yi came to the flower gardens, he caught up with Du Xiao Li and grabbed her arm, pulling

her to a stop .

“What?” Du Xiao Li looked to that devilish good looks of his and suddenly wanted to draw a few turtles on there,

seeing if that way, whether there will still be women jumping into his arms or not .

“You're angry?” Han Ming Yi said .

“Ah? What angry? What is there to be angry about?”

Han Ming Yi held onto Du Xiao Li's hand, not letting her move, “If you're not angry, then how come you just left as

soon as you saw me and that s.h.i.+zhi of yours?”

Du Xiao Li rolled her eyes at him and said, “I'm just going to bring two jars of grape wine for s.h.i.+fu . Since you're

here, then let's go together . ”

“Bring wine?” Han Ming Yi heard Du Xiao Li's words, and the corner of his lips twitched . Normally, in this kind of

situation, shouldn't one be jealous and angry? Just now, he'd clearly sensed she was upset .

“Are you going or not?”

“Keke, going, let's go then . ” Han Ming Yi coughed once .

The two went to the wine cellar to move two jars of grape wine . When they returned to the dining hall, everyone

had already taken their seats . Du Xiao Li let Han Ming Yi put a jar of wine at each table, and then opened the seal .

A burst of the sweet smell of grape wine filled the entire dining hall .

“s.h.i.+fu, this is the grape wine that I previously had the people on the estate ferment, have a taste . ” Du Xiao Li let Bai

Ning Yuan pour the wine for that table, while she herself poured wine for her table . However, the Grand Empress

Dowager could only watch and couldn't drink .

“Your servants even know how to do this?” Fan Nuo'er lifted the wine cup and took a sniff, and then said in a

strange tone, “Isn't this the Li family winery's wine? Little s.h.i.+shu, could it be that you took someone else's wine and

said it was fermented by your servants?”

The atmosphere in the dining hall that was still considered warm instantly turned somewhat stiff . w.a.n.g Ze looked to

Fan Nuo'er and berated, “Nuo'er!”

“I'm just telling the truth as it is!” Fan Nuo'er innocently looked to w.a.n.g Ze and said, “Besides, s.h.i.+fu, you were the

one that told me, this grape wine is the fruit wine solely produced by the Li family winery . Aside from the Li family

winery, no other winery know how to produce it . Although little s.h.i.+shu has grapes here, she still can't say that this is

fermented by her servants!”

“Shut up! Little junior sister, Nuo'er is young and senseless, don't take her words to heart . ” w.a.n.g Ze looked to Du

Xiao Li and apologetically said .

Again with young and insensible!

This was her second time today hearing this excuse . Du Xiao Li coldly scoffed inside . In the afternoon, Qing Chen

at the time couldn't come out, so didn't stop Fan Nuo'er's words in time, but w.a.n.g Ze were here right now, yet

waited for Fan Nuo'er to finish before coming to say she was 'young and senseless'! The meaning in this, how could

she not understand .

“En, speaking of which, disciple Nuo'er is only older than me by five six years, indeed rather young . ” Du Xiao Li

pretended to carelessly say, “Since senior brother already said she's young and senseless, I can't nitpick too much

about it, right?”

Du Xiao Li's words made both w.a.n.g Ze and Fan Nuo'er's faces turn red . Her meaning was also very obvious . Fan

Nuo'er was older than her by five six years, yet you used young and senseless to brush over her behavior, are you all

not embarra.s.sed!?

“I didn't say anything wrong, could it be that this isn't the Li family winery's uniquely produced grape wine?” Fan

Nuo'er glared at Du Xiao Li and questioned .
