Genius Doctor: Black Belly Miss Volume 19

by North Night (夜北)

  Yue Ye stiffened up completely when she heard that and she hesitated a moment before she shook her head belatedly.

  Elder Yue smiled in satisfaction. He then waved his hand and Yue Ye went walking over stiffly.

  Elder Yue smiled and held Yue Ye’s tiny hands, kneading them within his big and coarse palms.

  “Little Ye has indeed grown to become so sensible. The Palace Lord loves you and you do not need to be afraid of him. Serve the Palace Lord well and give your elder brother a lift.”

  “Little Ye understands…..” Yue Ye lowered her head, and bit on her lip.

  “That Chang Huan is not a good person. Do you still remember the incident that he stirred up on the day that he just came back? I had gone to ask those youths who got into an argument with Chang Huan at that time. That day, Chang Huan was actually intending to go into your courtyard and commit reprehensible deeds but was coincidentally discovered by the other disciples. In their attempt to stop him, they had then gotten into a fight. Little Ye is almost growing up to become a fine lady and you must be careful towards despicable and shameless cads like Chang Huan. Although he has Elder Ying behind him now, but if the Palace Lord comes to know that that kid harbours improper intentions towards you, I believe the Palace Lord will surely deal with it for you.” Elder Yue said suggestively.

  Yue Ye’s face turned even more pale. She looked at Elder Yue, wanting to say something. But Elder Yue’s hand that was clasped over hers suddenly tightened its grip and pain shot through her hand. Her lip trembled uncontrollably and was finally unable to say anything but just nodded her head stiffly with tears brimming in her eyes.

  “Little Ye is such a good girl.” Elder Yue said with a smile.

  Chapter 1811: “Instigated (2)”

  The news that the Shadow Moon Palace Lord’s illness was alleviated by Jun Wu Xie’s Melted Snow Elixir quickly spread and bubbled to a boil within the Shadow Moon Palace. All the youths who saw Jun Wu Xie adversely and wanted to find trouble with her suddenly stopped. No one dared to directly go against Jun Wu Xie at that moment.

  Who didn’t know at that time, that Jun Wu Xie was the Shadow Moon Palace Lord’s most highly favoured person and for anyone who went against Jun Wu Xie at this moment, everyone knew that the unfortunate one in the end would surely be themselves without even having to give it a thought.

  To the extent that those youths who previously had a bone to pick with “Chang Huan” would now nod their heads and bend their back whenever they saw Jun Wu Xie, wishing that they could just pounce over to latch themselves onto that prized thigh.

  For the next few days, Jun Wu Xie was able to enjoy great peace, like everything had settled nicely into place for her.

  The Shadow Moon Palace Lord’s health improved and he gradually took over the handling of the palace affairs from big to small and Elder Ying’s and Elder Yue’s authourity in certain areas were weakened to a certain extent.

  Jun Wu Xie usually did not have much to do on most days but just familiarized herself with things within the Shadow Moon Palace under Elder Ying’s guidance, never having much of an interaction with the disciples in the palace.

  That day, Jun Wu Xie sat by herself within a small courtyard, looking at the foliage within the yard as she sipped upon clear tea.

  “Chang Huan….. Senior.” Suddenly, a timid voice sounded from outside the yard.

  Jun Wu Xie lifted her head and saw a familiar figure standing nervously outside the door.

  “You need something?” Jun Wu Xie put down the cup she held in her hand, to look at Yue Ye who had suddenly appeared outside her courtyard.

  She had only met Yue Ye once, but that had left a deep impression on her.

  Looking at that countenance that was highly similar to Yue Yi’s, it was not known what Jun Wu Xie was thinking in her mind.

  “Can….. Can I come in?” Yue Ye asked, her lips stiffening slightly as she looked at Jun Wu Xie.

  Jun Wu Xie nodded.

  Yue Ye then came walking in. She was dressed in a light blue skirt and blouse with a plain and simple hairpin adorning her head, her still young and tender face filled with nervousness. She sat down looking rather ill at ease upon a stone stool beside Jun Wu Xie, her tiny hands pulling and twisting her clothes as she kept her head lowered, not daring to look at Jun Wu Xie at all.

  “Senior Chang Huan….. When….. when you went to the Pure Grace Palace with my brother, what really happened to my elder brother? Why isn’t he getting better after so long?” Yue Ye remained silent for a long while, before she summoned enough courage to raise her head to look at Jun Wu Xie, her eyes filled with worry for Yue Yi.

  In truth, Yue Yi’s injuries had completely healed but as Jun Wu Xie gave him some kind of medicine, it made him appear to be weak and frail.

  Jun Wu Xie poured out a cup of tea for Yue Ye and then said: “I do not know. When we were at the Pure Grace Palace, your brother and I were not often together.”

  “Is….. Is that so…..” Yue Ye’s voice became even softer, pricked by Jun Wu Xie’s cold chill.

  “If you are worried, why do you not go ask him directly?” Jun Wu Xie asked as she looked at Yue Ye.

  Yue Ye was startled and the hand clasped around the teacup trembled. The tea in her hand suddenly splashed towards Jun Wu Xie’s clothes and Jun Wu Xie immediately dodged, where not a single drop of the tea fell upon her.

  Jun Wu Xie had moved very quickly, so fast that Yue Ye had not been able to react at all. Her trembling hand gripped the teacup tightly, her eyes filled with surprise.

  “I….. I did not….. mean it….. Sorry….. I was only….. Big Brother doesn’t want me to know….. Even if I were to go ask him….. He wouldn’t tell me the truth…..” Yue Ye lowered her head, his voice tinged with dismay and nervousness.

  Volume 19

  Chapter 1812: “Instigated (3)”

  Jun Wu Xie calmly looked at the highly nervous Yue Ye, without the slightest ripple in her eyes.

  It was silent within the courtyard, and Yue Ye’s nervous little face was pale.

  “Is there anything else you need?” Jun Wu Xie finally asked.

  “No….. Nothing else…..” Yue Ye suddenly stood up, bowing to Jun Wu Xie before she quickly ran out in a fluster.

  Waiting till Yue Ye had left, Elder Ying then slowly came walking out from one of the rooms in the courtyard. He had coincidentally come to find Jun Wu Xie to discuss something but Jun Wu Xie had suddenly made him go sit down awhile in one of the rooms, while she remained in the open yard.

  Elder Ying had just gone into the room when Yue Ye had coincidentally reached just outside the courtyard, like everything had been carefully calculated by Jun Wu Xie.

  “What did that little lass come here for?” Elder Ying had watched from inside the room the whole time and he really could not guess what Yue Ye’s motive was in coming to find Jun Wu Xie. Yue Ye was in a helpless fluster the entire time like she was very worried about her elder brother but her words had come out stiff and stuttered.

  “Yue Ye and Yue Yi are Elder Yue’s people.” Jun Wu Xie said slowly.

  “You are saying, that Elder Yue is intending to use Yue Ye against you?” Elder Ying suddenly recalled the scene when Yue Ye had thrown that cup of tea at Jun Wu Xie. If Jun Wu Xie had not dodged that, that tea should have splashed onto Jun Wu Xie’s leg?

  “No wonder she was acting so strange. It has really been rough on that child. You might not know this, but Yue Ye is well loved by the Palace Lord and although she is still very young, her looks have already grown to become highly outstanding. It is a little better when Yue Yi is in the palace, but when Yue Yi is not around, Elder Yue would occasionally have people bring Yue Ye to the Palace Lord’s bed chambers….. Sigh….. I think Elder Yue is feeling cornered with his back against the wall and seeks to use Yue Ye to create some sort of misunderstanding so that the Palace Lord will become exasperated with you.” Elder Ying said as he shook his head with a sigh, sympa
thizing with Yue Ye who was such an innocent and timid little girl.

  “Oh? Such a thing actually happens?” Jun Wu Xie’s eyebrow arched up. She had known from the start that Elder Yue was not a good person but never had she thought that at the same time Elder Yue was using Yue Ye to threaten Yue Yi, he was also presenting Yue Ye to the Shadow Moon Palace Lord!

  “Elder Yue had done this highly furtively and I only found out about it not too long ago.” Elder Ying said rather helplessly as he walked over to come beside Jun Wu Xie, as he sat himself down upon a stone stool.

  “In everyone’s eyes, Elder Yue is just the devil. Besides his loyalty to the Shadow Moon Palace, he doesn’t do anyone any good. He knows that the Palace Lord now values you highly and ordinary methods would not be able to drag you down from your high position on a horse. But if the Palace Lord comes to know that you hold interest towards Yue Ye whom he has his eye on, then you would have to be careful of yourself.” When Elder Ying finished speaking about that, he could not help himself but to send his greetings to Elder Yue’s ancestors from the past eighteen generations.

  To use an underage little girl in such a manner, to commit a deed so utterly devoid of conscience was something that only Elder Yue was capable of.

  The more he said, the angrier he became. To compose himself and to calm his emotions, Elder Ying poured himself a cup of tea and lifted his hand up, all ready to drink up.

  But, in the instant that his lips were just about to touch the teacup, Jun Wu Xie’s voice suddenly rang out.

  “If you still want to live, then do not touch that cup of tea.”

  Elder Ying was startled and the hand that raised the teacup froze in mid air in an instant, as he turned to look at Jun Wu Xie in incomprehension.

  “What….. do you mean by that?”

  Jun Wu Xie raised her eyes and looked at Elder Ying, but did not say anything as she picked up the teapot on the stone table and stood up. She walked over to the side of the lily pond at the side and flipped her hand over to pour all the tea out from the teapot into the lily pond!

  Volume 19

  Chapter 1813: “Phenomenal Poison (1)”

  Elder Ying looked at Jun Wu Xie in incomprehension.

  Jun Wu Xie’s gaze fell casually upon the calm surface of the water. Blossoms of lily floated upon lily leaves upon the surface and suddenly, a white spot rose up to the surface, sending a ripple outwards.

  It was a red koi, flipped over with its belly up on the water’s surface, no longer breathing.

  Elder Ying’s eyes widened and as he watched, the koi in the pond floated up to the surface one after another, showing their bellies, killed soundlessly.

  “What….. What is happening?” Elder Ying said as he pointed at the dead koi in the water, his face incredulous. The pond was looking perfectly fine and Jun Wu Xie had merely poured out that teapot, why…..

  Jun Wu Xie looked at the dead koi and the corners of her mouth lifted. “Looks like you were all wrong.”

  “What?” Elder Ying still did not understand what was happening as he looked at Jun Wu Xie. Jun Wu Xie’s meals here were all prepared only by his most trusted disciples as he was afraid that Elder Yue would tamper with them but in the end, a problem had still occurred with the tea.

  “It must be one of Elder Yue’s schemes again! I will have all those people changed today.” Elder Ying was greatly startled by this. His cooperation with Jun Wu Xie had just started and he could not allow anything to happen to Jun Wu Xie at this moment.

  However, Jun Wu Xie shook her head.

  “There is no need to go to such trouble. The problem does not lie with them.”

  “Not on them? Then what else could it be?” Elder Ying continued to look at Jun Wu Xie, feeling rather perplexed.

  Jun Wu Xie’s gaze swept over the dead koi on the water surface and her eyes narrowed.

  Things were becoming more and more interesting.

  “It’s nothing. You should go back first.” Jun Wu Xie said indifferently.

  Elder Ying was feeling that he must have overlooked something but even after thinking through everything he still did not find anything extraordinary about the whole affair. He had thought to suspect Yue Ye earlier but he had seen it clearly from inside the room. Although Yue Ye had touched the teacup but she had never once touched the teapot in anyway. Moreover she had merely sat there for awhile and she had been highly flustered and distracted the entire time, completely unlike a person who would be able to poison anyone.

  Hence, Elder Ying had completely quashed the possibility that Yue Ye could have been responsible.

  Although his spirit powers were not as powerful as Elder Yue’s but he had at least possessed the powers of a Purple Spirit, which would make it impossible for him to be unable to clearly see the movements of a stiffened and nervous little girl.

  Seeing Elder Ying leave the courtyard with the look on incomprehension on his face, Jun Wu Xie then slowly walked over to a stone stool at the side to sit down. She propped her chin up in one hand and stared at the empty teapot held in her other hand. She picked up the lid on the teapot to open it and poured the tea leaves out upon the stone table before she casually picked up two pieces from the pile to sniff at them with her nose.

  The faint fragrance of tea filled inside her nose and besides that, there wasn’t anything strange about them.

  The little black cat suddenly slipped out and jumped onto the stone table, looking at the pile of tea leaves that had been soaked as it walked around it before it silently went a little closer to sniff at it with the tip of its nose.

  “Meow?”

  [There’s not even a scent?]

  “Rather good, isn’t it?” Jun Wu Xie asked with her eyebrow arched up.

  “Meooow…..”

  [It doesn’t seem like the right time for you to be applauding the other party does it? The poison seems to be rather lethal. It shouldn’t be much of a problem for it to be able to kill a person instantly.]

  The little black cat looked at its Mistress helplessly. This poisoned tea had almost gone into her mouth and she was not even showing the slightest reaction. Under the Heavens, she must be the only one person who would be able to look at the poison that had been used in an attempt to kill her in so calm a manner.

  Jun Wu Xie narrowed her eyes and looked at the little black cat’s face that was filled with scorn. She suddenly pinched up a small bunch of tea leaves and before the little black cat was able to react, she stuffed it right into the little black cat’s mouth!

  Volume 19

  Chapter 1814: “Phenomenal Poison (2)”

  “MEEOOW! ! ! !” The little black cat jumped up in the air, its front paws immediately raised up to furiously swipe all the tea leaves out from its mouth.

  [You trying to kill me! ! ?]

  “What are you afraid of? Spirit bodies can’t absorb poison.” Jun Wu Xie propped up her head and looked at the little black cat, and seeing its intense reaction, a smile rose up in her heart.

  The little black cat looked mournfully at Jun Wu Xie, as it dug out a piece of the tea leaves from between its teeth and spat it onto the stone table.

  Spirit bodies are completely immune to any kind of poison except for those that affected one’s spirit, but up till now, it had never encountered that before.

  “Meow!”

  [Even if there’s no effect on me doesn’t mean I should be eating it right! ? I’m not a trash bin you know! ?”

  The little black cat was feeling like its cat rights was being diminished.

  “What are its contents?” Jun Wu Xie asked suddenly.

  The little black cat harrumphed indignantly and although it was feeling highly aggrieved in its heart, it still went on to truthfully name them. “Blaze Chrysanthemum, White Shell, Seven Lotus Seed…..” The little black cat smoothly said the names of more than ten types of herbs and when it came to the last one, it even paused a moment to lick its fangs that had been in contact with the tea leaves with the tip of its to
ngue before it added it to the list.

  More than ten types of herbs and most of them non toxic and harmless. Bring out anyone of them singularly and no one would find any wrong with them. Even if they were fed raw to anyone, it would not bring any harm to people, but would even give them some moderating effects to their bodies.

  But Jun Wu Xie’s eyes had slightly shone exactly because of that.

  All these herbs would seem like nothing in the eyes of others, but to a person like her who knew Medicine like the back of her hand, she immediately detected the subtle oddity within.

  More than ten kinds of herbs that looked to be for gentle nourishment, but every single type of herb would have properties that clashed with others. The poison in the teapot from a certain perspective might not really be considered to be poison, but with the clash of properties among the various herbs used, it would bring great harm to the human body.

  Taking a whole bunch of nourishing herbs, to concoct them together into poison. Such a method, would require a high familiarity of the various properties and effects among the different herbs, and also understand the kind of corresponding herb whose effects would clash.

  In most cases, when the effects of herbs clashed, it would bring great discomfort to people, and it would almost be impossible to take a person’s life within a short period of time with it. But the poison in that teapot had done just that perfectly.

  Putting more than ten kinds of nourishing herbs together with each herb possessing a conflicting effect to another kind, while ensuring that the compounded effect would be highly intense.

  And what was most terrifying about it was if someone had died from taking such a kind of poison, no matter how sharp a physician was, he would not be able to identify the real cause of death, but just declare that the person had died suddenly, and had not died from poison.
