Mu Hong followed her with disdain and mocked her.

"So what if you find it? What about your purer Gold Elixir? Do you still need a few more days to make the medicine? How about a few more days?"

Liu Shengsheng stopped and sneered. "No need. I've already prepared the antidote. It's a pity that I can only make two of them, but they're more than enough to save Marquis."

Looking at the two pills in her hands, Mu Hong instantly became sullen.

More and more people gathered around. No one knew what the imperial physicians and Mr. Mo were whispering to each other. Even Nan Muze frowned...

Liu Shengsheng ignored the strange looks of the crowd and threw one of the pills to Mr. Mo. Then she took the remaining pill and walked into the room.

Mu Hong hurriedly said, "Wait! Don't give anything to my father to eat. If there is something wrong with it, I will..."

"Rest assured, even if he dies, I will not live. I will definitely not let him die."

While they were talking, Liu Shengsheng had already walked into the room.

After all, she was brought here by Nan Muze. No one dared to stop her during the whole process.

On the contrary, Mu Hong was so anxious that her eyes turned red. She stepped forward and grabbed the hand of Nan Muze. "Brother Ze, how can you hand over my father's life to a little maid? This, this is not right!"

"It's too pure. This pill is too pure..."

Suddenly, an imperial physician's voice came from the side. He was in charge of processing medicine.

He carefully held the pill and sniffed it, as if he couldn't wait to break it and study it.

Mr. Mo also exclaimed repeatedly, "I have never seen such medicine before. How was it made? Even in the palace, it would take at least a few days to achieve such effects..."

"This medicine smells no different from the Gold Elixir, but its efficacy seems to be several times stronger than that of the Gold Elixir."

"Mr. Mo, give us two halves of that pill. Let's take a look at it..."

"No way, this medicine is too precious to be destroyed at will."

“…”

Several imperial physicians gathered together and looked at the pill as if they were looking at a treasure.

After examining it, they were still not satisfied. They rushed into the room together and couldn't wait to know the efficacy of the medicine.

Looking at their reactions, Mu Hong didn't know whether to be happy or sad. If what they said was true, would her father be saved?

But if it was true, did it mean that the bet between her and the little maidservant...

"He's awake! Marquis is awake!"

Suddenly, there was a burst of exclamation from the room.

Then, there was a cheer and excitement from the crowd.

"Oh my god, this medicine is so effective. It's even more effective than the Gold Elixir..."

"That's right. Even the Gold Elixir can't detoxify Marquis. But as soon as he took the medicine, he woke up..."

"What is the background of this little maid? Did she really make this medicine?"

"That's impossible. She looks inexperienced."

"How is it impossible? She was personally brought by King Cang. I knew there would be no idle people around him..."

“…”

Amidst cheers, Liu Shengsheng walked out absent-mindedly. Looking at the people who had not yet recovered in the courtyard, she simply walked step by step toward Mu Hong.

"I won, it's time for you to fulfill your promise."

Mu Hong looked a little flustered, and her tone was no longer as domineering as before.

"Isn't it just 100,000 taels of silver? Get the money for this lady."

"First Miss, have you forgotten? In addition to 100,000 taels of silver, you should kneel down and apologize."

Mu Hong was furious. "How dare you ask me to kneel to you?"

"Isn't this what First Miss promised yourself? Do you want to break your promise in front of so many people?"

"You..."

"Forget it. I'm just a servant. I can't let you kneel down. Let's find another solution."

Mu Hong breathed a sigh of relief. "Fine. How could a noble lady like me kneel to you, a servant? You did save my father, and that's a merit. So, tell me, what do you want?"

Liu Shengsheng smiled innocently.

"I just want to return the slap."

"Wha-what?"

Mu Hong was completely stunned and hadn't reacted yet when a slap landed on her face.

"Clap!"

It was loud and crisp.

Everyone present widened their eyes in surprise. Mu Hong raised her hand and was about to fight back, but her wrist was easily grabbed by Liu Shengsheng.

Mu Hong was furious. "How dare you! This is the Marquis' Residence. How dare you hit me?"

"Why wouldn't I dare? Didn't First Miss hit me first? I've already done my best not to make you kneel down."

Liu Shengsheng shook off her hand coldly and said, "Although Marquis has been detoxified, the residual poison in his body has not been removed. He still needs to take my medicine. If you dare to touch me again today, at worst, I will die with Marquis."

Threat!

This was simply a threat!

Mu Hong was so angry that her face turned red. She looked at Nan Muze with the grievance, "Brother Ze, see what she did..."

However, Nan Muze did not pay attention to her at all. Instead, he slowly walked to Liu Shengsheng, took her hand, and walked out of the yard under everyone's surprised gaze...

Just, just like that?

Mu Hong covered her face in grievance, so she was slapped for nothing?

How infuriating!

“…”

Liu Shengsheng thought that Nan Muze was going to punish her, but he only said, "You just got the herbs. How did you turn them into pills? Aren't you going to explain?"

Liu Shengsheng whispered awkwardly, "Didn't you pass out for a period of time in the forest? The medicine was made at that time..."

"Do you think I'm a fool?"

Nan Muze was filled with suspicion.

Liu Shengsheng blushed with embarrassment. How could she explain it?

Could she really have to reveal the secret of buff?

She wouldn't do that.

She thought about how to make it up...

Seeing Liu Shengsheng remain silent for a while and her eyes rolling, Nan Muze knew she couldn't come up with anything good to say. He asked coldly, "Is there still residual poison in Marquis' body?"

Liu Shengsheng pursed her lips. "No."

"No?"

"Yes... I lied to her just now."

Seeing Liu Shengsheng's face that was asking for a beating, Nan Muze suddenly felt helpless.

"This girl is really scheming."

"Because you saved Marquis, I won't kill you. However, this is the Marquis' Residence, so you'd better keep a low profile, or there will be many people who want to kill you."

After that, he walked back to the courtyard.

Liu Shengsheng blinked her eyes in a daze. Is he leaving just like that?

Didn't he listen to her excuses?

“…”

With the intervention of Nan Muze, the matter of Liu Shengsheng hitting Mu Hong finally ended up with nothing definite.

After that, he went to visit Marquis. Liu Shengsheng sat happily at the gate of the yard, counting the money.

While she was counting, two maidservants suddenly came to her.

"Young Lady, Prince ordered me to take you to take a bath..."

Liu Shengsheng raised her head in a daze. "No need. I'll wash it myself when I get home."

The other maid was in a dilemma. "This is the prince's order. Please cooperate, Young Lady. His Highness also said that he would come to take you back to the manor after seeing the Marquis..."

Liu Shengsheng 's smile froze on her face.

What a scheming prince! He simply wanted her to wash up and see her true face...

As a result, Liu Shengsheng had been in panic when she was taken away. No, she had to sneak away.

Otherwise, she would really be recognized later...

However, there was someone helping her take a bath. How could she slip away?
