The Anarchic Consort

Bang!

The bucket of bath water fell.

Eunuch Sun courteously asked Helian Wei Wei, “Eldest Miss, the bucket of water and the wine are now ready. Would you like something else?”

“There’s still the firewood.” Helian Wei Wei did not raise her head.

“Yes…” Eunuch Sun hesitated for a moment and asked people to prepare the things supposed to be used for bathing.

After the firewood was brought in, Helian Wei Wei ordered people to boil water, and then had the Retired Emperor and all the ministers sit in the cask.

The scene was not so much saving lives as steaming people with boiling water.

Under the cask was an iron rack. Below it, firewood was burning. The firewood burned more and more vigorously. In a short time, the room became full of steam.

Up to now, the ministers were in a daze. They were resigned to keep trying everything in this desperate situation. They didn’t believe at all that the little girl in front of them can help them rid the bone-eroding poison.

When Helian Wei Wei saw the water was boiled, she poured all the wine in the wine jar into the bath buckets.

Doing these things, she did not spend more than the time it took an incense stick to burn.

When a doctor saved a person, whatever he did seemed particularly convincing.

However.

“You can detoxify this way?” Eunuch Sun looked at His Majesty anxiously. Wouldn’t this be unsafe should there be a mishap to the Retired Emperor and the other old men?

Helian Wei Wei was totally unaffected by others. She even got Yuan Ming to pick a tomato from the mysterious spatial space to compensate for her physical strength.

She stood lazily in the midst of the vapour and tested the water temperature in the barrel with her hand.

Helian Wei Wei randomly took the medical ingredients brought by the Imperial Physician and threw them into the bathtub one by one.

The boiling water took those medicinal herbs to the bottom of the cask in an instant, and the smell of medicine in the room became more and more concentrated. The smell made Yuan Ming choked when he breathing it in, “Woman, what are you doing putting these things in a hideous mess? You don’t need these things to detoxify them. Martial artists only need to use internal force to remove the poison in them.”

“Didn’t do this to make myself look more professional?” Helian Wei Wei continued throwing medicinal herbs inside and lazily answered, “Otherwise, if I detoxify them as soon as I start, everyone will know that I am a martial artist. Now I also have an identity of a phoenix so that I can not expose my strength. Moreover… this makes my medical skills seem more outstanding.”

Yuan Ming was finally convinced.

When he looked sideways, the Imperial Physician seriously memorized what kind of herbs Helian Wei Wei had thrown into the cask, even the order of the herbs that she had thrown in. He whispered, giving a look that he was very clear about something and had on an expectant look that blatantly showed”I memorized it”!

What was this all about at such a time?

“All right.” Helian Wei Wei released the herbs in her hands, then sat on the floor, palms supporting the outside of the cask, with a little effort!

With the previous steaming of alcohol and sweat, it took only a second for the poisonous gas to spill out of the barrel.

The ministers looked at the surge of black gas and knew they were saved!

One after another, they sat straight with both legs folded and eyes closed.

Helian Wei Wei frowned, she felt that doing this one by one was a waste of time. She simply put one hand on one side of the cask, while exerting force, boiling water to a rolling boil and the top of the barrel formed a silent air stream.

All were silent in the midst of detoxification and couldn’t detect what happened.

Only Baili Jia Jue slowly and deliberately twirling his fingers, his black ring emitted black light, the image reflected in his pupils, appear particularly bright. He looked at how Helian Wei Wei used her power, like a smile yet not a smile…

This woman was like a bottomless mystery.

He genuinely wanted to know what she would look like when he peeled away the layers of her mystery one by one.

Baili Jia Jue curled his thin lips evilly.

Finally, the last person was also detoxified by Helian Wei Wei. The bluish colour of his face started fading and the usual healthy red cheeks were restored.

“You must not move around yet.” Helian Wei Wei stood up, brushed the dust off her body, and smilingly said, “Your bodies are still too weak. Wait until this incense finished burning, and then we’ll see.”

Being able to detoxify their poison already made the ministers amazed. Now they heard that they could restore their martial spirit with only the time it took an incense stick to burn.

Everyone could not help but look at Helian Wei Wei.

Although they were not like those madams and young ladies of the boudoirs who love to talk about the rumours and slanders in the capital, they also knew that the eldest daughter of the Helian family was useless.

But today, she unexpectedly solved the bone-eroding poison that nobody could solve!

She pulled all of them from death back to life!

The ministers did not know how to describe their mood at this moment. They only looked at Helian Wei Wei. For a moment, their heart seemed to overturn with all kind of flavours: sour, sweet, bitter, and salty. The feelings were uncommon.

“Girl, the great favour this time has earned my Nalan family’s undying gratitude!” Old General Nalan was full of heroism, “Speak anytime you have a need of the Nalan family!”

Even Imperial Physician Jiang, who was known as the “god doctor whose hands could bring the dying back to life” was at Helian Wei Wei’s side and said enthusiastically, “It was unexpected that the bone-eroding poison was solved using this method. By being immersed in boiling water, the poison was removed from the pore, and those medicinal materials certainly played a helpful role.”

Yuan Ming chuckled, “This old man is so silly and naive.”

“You can shut up.” After answering Yuan Ming’s words in her stream of consciousness, Helian Wei Wei turned her head and said, “Retired Emperor, I have something else to do. Since the poison has been cleared up, my friend and I will ask to be excused first.”

Friend?

Eunuch Sun’s eyes automatically fell on his master.

His Highness had to follow when the Retired Emperor was seriously hurt?

“You go first.” Baili Jia Jue’s face was cold and handsome, a smile was plastered on his face. “I’ll stay here and rest for a while.”

Helian Wei Wei frowned, “Rest? Are you injured?”

“No.” As if he were trapped, Baili Jia Jue rubbed his eyes with his slender fingers. “We walked the whole night. It’s too tiring.”

Helian Wei Wei nodded, showing that she understood, “Then you’ll wait for me here first.”

“Ok.” Baili Jia Jue slowly curled his mouth.

Eunuch Sun watched by his side and said nothing, but in his heart, he bounced up and down, [Pretending, His Highness was definitely pretending again!]

“Oh, by the way….” Helian Wei Wei, who was about to lift her legs and walk away, looked at Baili Jia Jue and narrowed her eyes, “When did your eyes get healed?”

Baili Jia Jue paused and calmly lowered his eyes, “When you cut your hand.”

“What did I say?” Helian Wei Wei muttered, if he had recovered already earlier, he shouldn’t have made her pull him all the way back here. While thinking, Helian Wei Wei turned her head to Eunuch Sun, “Eunuch Sun, please prepare a room for my friend and let him sleep for a while. I’ll take care of my things soon.”

The martial qi competition shouldn’t take too much time.

She would make those, who thought that driving her out of the family may also cut her chance to take part in the competition, to give up!
