What To Do if You’re the Villain and the Heroine Likes You

In the end, it was Meng Qingqian who took a step back.

At the Linxuan Palace, Meng Qingqian sat in the upper seat, drinking the white water her sister poured for her.

“The palace issues quite a lot of monthly instalments every month, you ……” Meng Qing Sha looked at the tea cup without tea leaves and continued, “Why is this so?”

Meng Qingrou sat with her sister by her side and said embarrassedly, “Some, some people came to me. Saying that the mother at home is sick ……”

“You gave them money?”

“Yes ……”

“How much did you give?”

“Just a few taels of silver ……”

“Only a few taels ……” Meng Qingqian realized that something was wrong, then continued to pursue the question, “How many people like this ask for silver every month?”

Meng Qingruo’s eyes dodged from side to side.

“Not many, a few, a few.”

“How many?”

“A dozen, a few.”

Meng Qingqian looked at her sister and rubbed her head with a bit of a headache.

“Don’t you know they’re lying to you?”

“Sometimes, know.”

“Despite that you gave it?”

“They’re quite pitiful ..”

Meng Qingqian snorted, “They’re pitiful? How can a person who is deceitful deserve the word ‘pitiful’?” However, looking at Meng Qingrou’s appearance, Meng Qingqian did not say the words too harshly after all.

“Don’t you have pity on yourself?”

Meng Qingrou laughed happily, “Me? I don’t feel sorry for myself. I get to bask in the sun every day and go out for an hour to play.”

Meng Qingqian looked at the non-existent Princess Nanzhu and saw her smile, and suddenly envied her a little.

Before she had taken over the imperial government herself, she had been as carefree as she was.

In fact, being carefree was what a nineteen-year-old self should be doing, right?

Unfortunately, with imperial power at hand, all of that will never go back to the way it was.

“Nanzhu, there’s something I need your help with.”

“Sister, please speak.”

“He Yunxiao, do you know him?”

Meng Qingrou shook her head.

“Haven’t heard of him.”

Meng Qingqian continued, “This man is the son of Shang General. He is rumoured to be incredibly handsome, but his character is strangely bad. He is addicted to wine and sex, and bullies men and women, and does nothing but evil.”

Meng Qingqian looked into her sister’s eyes and remembered the image of her with her sword across her neck. She clenched her hands. She knew that she did not have full assurance that Nanzhu would marry someone, especially a despicable person of poor character and extremely poor integrity like He Yunxiao.

Taking a deep breath, she said, “Sister wants you, to marry him.”

Meng Qingrou did not hesitate too much.

“Okay.”

Meng Qingqian wondered, “Why?”

Meng Qingrou bowed her head and said, “Marriage is a matter of parents’ orders and matchmakers’ words. Now that both mother and father are gone, sister and mother are the ones who make the decision for Nanzhu.”

Meng Qingqian looked at her sister, who had lowered her eyebrows, and suddenly felt a little reluctant. This girl had the same Meng bloodline as herself in her blood. How could she be sent to a scum like He Yunxiao for no reason at all?

She stood up.

Meng Qingqian said: “I asked you to marry him, in fact, to get Marquis support. I don’t have a fierce general in my hands, and I have no army to use. Without Marquis He’s support, if there is a mutiny in the future, the kingdom will be in danger.”

Meng Qingrou was puzzled, “Why do you say that, sister? Don’t we have generals like Chu Tianzhu who are loyal and serve the country? How could there be a mutiny?”

Meng Qingzhao’s face showed a bitter smile.

This silly girl, she still didn’t know that Chu Tianzhu had been exterminated, and even the Chu family army was ……

Suddenly, Meng Qinghao’s eyes lit up.

The Chu family army had not died!

Although Chu Tianzhu and Du Lie were dead, Fan Yu was still alive! And it was here in Yinjing City that the academy was opened.

If she could ask him to come out and unite the old Chu family army, Nanzhu would not need to marry anyone.

Meng Qingqian took her sister’s hand.

“Nanzhu, I have already thought of a way to break the situation, and I will try it myself tomorrow. The matter of marrying someone, even if mother comes to rush you, you need not rush, delay for a few days and wait for sister’s news.”

Meng Qingrou was so confused, why did she want to marry at one moment and then not at the next?

She herself, in fact, did not care about this, for her, a daughter always had to marry. Marrying He Yunxiao or someone else, did it make any difference?

However, since her sister had told her not to say yes first, then let’s not say yes first.

Meng Qingqian added, “If this plan of mine doesn’t work, Nanzhu, the matter of marrying someone else, you still have to be condescended to.”

Meng Qingrou nodded her head.

After saying the business, Meng Qingqian did not stay too long. Political affairs were too busy, and there were even many folds that Prime Minister Han had specially mixed in to increase her workload.

But she had no choice but to approve each one of them carefully. If not, it would make the already unstable dynastic situation even more unfavourable.

After leaving Linxuan Palace, Meng Qingqian said to the maids around her: “From now on, no maids or eunuchs are allowed to approach Nanzhu. No one is allowed to come to Linxuan Palace to beg. Anyone who disobeys the order will be executed on the spot.”

……

He Yunxiao left the Empress Dowager’s chambers and began to run all the way.

It wasn’t that he was in such a hurry to cure the poison, but he was just afraid that if he was slow, the Empress Dowager would call him back again with an imperial decree.

Only after running for a good distance did He Yunxiao feel the benefits of martial arts training. His legs were not sore, and his breath was not panting.

If it were in his previous life, he would have been able to run the entire marathon in a sprint. Then he was happy to receive a small bracelet, a small car and a small house, a three-piece set.

He Yunxiao was not familiar with the palace, having been led by his father once before when the Empress Dowager’s birthday was celebrated, and had not been here since.

It just so happened that a palace maid was passing by, and He Yunxiao seized the opportunity straight away and said, “Sister, how do I get to the Doctor Tai Hospital?”

When the palace maid saw He Yunxiao and saw his incomparably handsome face leaning that close to her own, she blushed and said, “First this, then in this way, and finally in this way ……”

He Yunxiao nodded his head to show that he understood, but he didn’t understand at all.

I wanted to ask again, but the palace maid was stammering and couldn’t even say anything.

He Yunxiao was more experienced in this area. Such an intelligent sister Du, when she was bullied by him, was also confused and said whatever sister Jiang asked.

A palace maid, no matter how strong she was, would not be stronger than Sister Du. He Yunxiao had to let her go to avoid embarrassment.

Luckily, after walking for a while, he came across a young eunuch.

He Yunxiao hurriedly grabbed him and finally asked for the location of the Imperial Hospital.

Architecturally speaking alone, the Tai Hospital was no different from the other ordinary buildings in the palace.

However, after arriving near the hospital, one could smell the fragrance of medicine from a long distance away.

Only after walking in did I realize that the Hospital had made use of the spacious walkway at the entrance to dry a number of medicinal herbs.

A few young men in gray and yellow coats were busy drying herbs, and they were apprentices.

Even if you have been working at the Imperial Hospital all your life, if you do not pass the examination, you will always be an apprentice.

Even so, many parents of medical families were happy to send their young men to the Imperial Hospital.

He Yunxiao said he understood this practice extremely well.

In the past, there was Liu Kaixiong of the Spring Wind Mansion, who used silver to rank ahead of Chu Fan, and in the future, there were young masters from medicine families who came to the Taiyuan Hospital to gild the Lily.

One could only say that throughout the ages, progress had been made, but not completely.

After arriving at the Taiyuan Hospital, he didn’t care if he was familiar with it or not, and with a flurry of questions, he soon found the Taiyuan doctor Wei that his old man had explained.

It is true that he did not know him well. But after a packet of good tea was sent out, the old man and the young man immediately addressed each other as “uncle” and “nephew”. It was as if they were long-lost relatives.

The fact that he was poisoned by the soul-devouring pills is really not something that should be publicized, lest it will lead to trouble.

I would have talked to my aunt and father about it, as they were all close to me. Now in the Taiyuan Hospital, there are many people, so He Yunxiao is still very cautious.

As soon as he whispered to Uncle Wei, he saw that the old doctor’s face had changed from a happy smile to a grave one.

His heart went cold.

He Yunxiao watched as Uncle Wei checked his pulse and quietly asked, “Uncle, this Soul Devouring Pill of mine, is it still hopeless?”

Dr Wei said, “The Soul Devouring Pill is a wondrous pill from a thousand years ago, and throughout the ages, those of us who study medicine have taken the highest honour in solving this pill. However, no matter what the formula is, there is one herb that cannot be avoided, and that is the ‘fairy flower’. This flower is long gone, so your Soul Devouring Pill cannot be solved.”

He Yunxiao had been prepared for this, and was not too surprised.

He only said, “Please help me keep the matter of the Soul Devouring Pill being incurable, and do not disclose it to my father.”

Imperial Doctor Wei laughed, “I can’t tell, you are a filial son. However, who said that the Soul Devouring Pill has no solution?”

He Yunxiao:?
