The Dramatic Crown Princess Wants to Poison Me!

Chapter 336: The Veiled Woman

Xia Wenjin hurriedly called him: "These are enough!"

"How can these be enough?"

Xia Wenjin said: "It’s just a start, there’s more to come." The old man is quite picky, since it’s an apprenticeship ceremony, she definitely has to prepare properly.

Actually, in the past life, after becoming an apprentice, she didn’t seriously learn. The old man seemed to be very picky about her, especially when she was constantly thinking about Huangfu Yuxuan, and got scolded by the old man many times.

At that time, she thought the old man was overly nosy.

Only now does she realize the wisdom of the old man; he had seen through Huangfu Yuxuan’s ambitions all along, he was warning her.

In the past life, there weren’t many who truly cared for her, apart from those in Haotian Village. The old man was one of them.

This apprenticeship ceremony, she actually anticipated more than the old man.

In the past life, she was naive and thought it was nothing special. But having seen through everything now, she understands the value.

Now, she doesn’t even have a set of women’s clothing in her luggage. She said: "I need to first ask the villagers in the quarantine zone to witness, then borrow a set of women’s clothing, oh wait, I should go buy two sets of clothes, my master won’t allow me to wear men’s clothing anymore. Additionally, I need to prepare something nice as a gift for my master... Well, time is quite tight."

This wouldn’t normally be a problem.

But now in Wangshan Town, after the epidemic, the streets are empty, stores are closed, everyone is on edge, it’s really hard to buy anything.

Buying clothes, which should be the simplest, has now become the hardest.

There’s nowhere to even borrow from.

When Shang Jingwang came, he brought servants, but they were all men. The town doesn’t have a clothing store, and it’s unlikely the villagers’ homes have new sets.

Huangfu Jingchen said: "Leave the clothing to me!"

Xia Wenjin said: "Thank you!" It’s okay if they can’t find any, the Undying Poison Doctor just wants her to switch back to women’s clothing. If there truly isn’t any, in an emergency, she could borrow a piece from the mayor’s wife just to wear for now, even though the mayor’s wife’s clothes could fit two of her.

Hearing that Doctor Xia was going to have a master ceremony, the doctors and infected patients in the quarantine zone all expressed their desire to attend. If Doctor Xia’s medical skills are already so brilliant, then the master she’s apprenticing to must surely be remarkable.

The Undying Poison Doctor only treated Xia Wenjin, so the people in the quarantine zone didn’t know this old man who suddenly appeared was the one who healed Xia Wenjin.

Although Xia Wenjin calls him master, firstly, the Undying Poison Doctor seldom shows himself, and secondly, even if she calls him master, he might not necessarily be a master of medicine!

Everyone was very curious and very excited!

Upon hearing about it, Shang Jingwang also expressed his intention to personally attend.

Being the Lord Imperial Envoy, Huangfu Jinxuan didn’t have a firm obligation to attend, but he noticed Huangfu Jingchen’s regard for Xia Wenjin. Since Huangfu Jingchen was sure to attend, of course, he had to go as well.

In the quarantine zone, there weren’t too many people, but it was by no means few. At Wei Shi, the apprenticeship ceremony officially began.

The location was chosen in the large courtyard of the quarantine zone, as the critical patients have already taken effective medicine, their illness is no longer contagious. Although they’re in poor health now, they will gradually recover later, and they came out when they heard of Doctor Xia’s apprenticeship.

There were also villagers who rushed over from home upon receiving the news.

Doctor Xia saved their lives. Doctor Xia’s matters were their matters, they were certain to participate in such a grand event.

What Xia Wenjin did not expect was that in just over an hour from deciding to starting the ceremony, so many people would attend.

The Undying Poison Doctor sat boldly in the center, wearing a long blue robe, relaxed and unrestrained. The sunlight shined on him, reflecting the brilliance unintentionally shown in his eyes, and his black hair made him look even more spirited.

A lady stood beside him, her face covered with a light veil.

She wore a pale blue dress, and her steps were light. The revealed features of her face were extraordinarily vivid, her eyebrows like new willows, her eyes seemed to house stars, bright and shining.

The crowd looked around, only seeing this one beautiful girl. Wasn’t Doctor Xia going to have a master ceremony? Where was Doctor Xia? Where did this pretty girl come from? Even with just the brows and eyes visible, one could tell she was truly charming!

On the surface, Lord Imperial Envoy Huangfu Jinxuan had the highest status, so it would be best for him to host this ceremony. However, Huangfu Jingchen was not assured. This Imperial Envoy had a notoriously bad reputation in the Capital City, so it was better for Shang Jingwang to handle the hosting.

In fact, if it were just a mere doctor’s apprenticeship, Shang Jingwang was a Fifth Rank Prefect, which might seem a bit excessive to others. However, Shang Jingwang was quite delighted, not caring about Young Master Jing’s status, nor the position of this Imperial Envoy. Just considering the Hospitality of Prince Kang’s Second Young Master to Young Master Jing and Doctor Xia’s contribution to Wangshan Town, which saved thousands of lives, even surpassed what he, a local official, could do. Hosting this was clearly his honor!

No one invited Yu Shikui.

However, upon hearing this news, Yu Shikui eagerly ran over on his own.

What a joke, if even Lord Imperial Envoy and Prince Kang’s Second Young Master were attending, could he not come?

Though he was rather disdainful in his heart.

It’s merely an ordinary civilian apprenticing to another ordinary civilian, is it worth such a big fuss? Do these people have some conspiracy? No, he had to be there personally to monitor, so he wouldn’t be plotted against.

With his face bruised and swollen, Yu Shikui came over, and aside from Shang Jingwang greeting him, no one else paid him any attention. Not receiving the expected courtesy made him even more furious. However, his attendant quickly found a chair for him to sit aside.

He squinted and thought, so that doctor named Xia Wenjin is apprenticing to a master, this small affair involved even the Imperial Envoy, so what is the bigger picture? What exactly are they up to?

He knew that boy, as thin as a monkey, with a pale complexion, though a handsome youth, his status was low. So what if he was handsome? He would still end up as a plaything for the nobles.

And then, even the Imperial Envoy was here, Prince Kang’s hedonistic Young Master, is rumored to dare to do anything and try everything. Could it be that he fancied those two young ones?

If so, he had to think it through and see if there was something exploitable here.

His gaze inadvertently fell on the maiden beside the Undying Poison Doctor, and he couldn’t help squinting his eyes.

At his official rank, beauties were naturally not lacking around him, offering themselves for his favor, presented by those trying to curry favor. He accepted them all.

However, he’d never seen anyone as gracefully enchanting, refreshingly distinguished, elegant, and charming as this girl.

He hadn’t seen the whole face, but the brows and eyes revealed enough.

Is she the Undying Poison Doctor’s maid?

That old man, how does he deserve such an outstanding maid to accompany him? He had to find a way to get that girl!
