Chapter 19 Huihui Takes Action
Lin Zhao was taken aback: "People born with the destiny of a Heavenly Phoenix don't exist?"

Seeing that Lin Zhao wanted to get to the bottom of things, Grandma immediately brushed it off vaguely: "It's too early for you to talk about these things at your current level. When your cultivation reaches the Nascent Soul stage, you will be qualified to know these things."

Lin Zhao seemed to be deep in thought and did not ask any further questions.

"Now take out the medicinal herbs that Grandma asked you to collect."

Lin Zhao took out some extra medicinal herbs that her grandmother had asked her to buy from her spatial ring. "These are for treating Ning Wengui, right?"

Grandma nodded: "Your friend was poisoned by a fifth-tier Netherworld Python. A fifth-tier spirit beast itself is nothing special. The problem is that he carries some ancient dragon bloodline, which is what gives those alchemists a headache."

The Ancient Dragon Clan is one of the few ancient races that can rival the Heavenly Phoenix Clan. Any race that carries even a trace of the bloodline of these two clans will be extremely extraordinary.

To counteract the poison from the ancient dragon bloodline, one must use the antidote from the phoenix bloodline, or find an antidote from a dragon bloodline even purer than the poison itself.

However, in this world, spirit beasts with both of these bloodlines have their own lineages. It is unknown who Ning Wengui offended, which led the other party to find such a rare thing to poison him.

"But these medicinal herbs don't have any Phoenix bloodline on them," Lin Zhao said with a wry smile. "My Phoenix Luck can't be used as bloodline, can it?"

"Although it cannot be used as a bloodline, it is about the same in terms of deterring python venom. You should know that in ancient times, even the ancestor of this Netherworld Python, the Nine Nether Python, was nothing more than food for the Heavenly Phoenix."

In ancient times, only the Ancient Dragon could rival the Heavenly Phoenix.

"Now, grind these things into a medicinal juice, boil it, and use it for a bath." Grandma nodded when she saw that all the medicinal herbs were ready.

Lin Zhao's expression turned strange upon hearing this order: "Weren't these herbs for Ning Wengui to detoxify? Why are they being used on me?"

"His body can't use medicine, he has purple eyes and a crystal body... Hey, little girl, you've really hit the jackpot this time."

When Lin Zhao first heard a hint of lewdness in her grandmother's voice, she instinctively had a bad feeling. But she still gritted her teeth and went to the small kitchen in her residence, spending an extra low-grade spirit stone to start brewing medicine.

When the medicine was ready and poured into the bathtub in his room, the fishy smell filled his nostrils, and Lin Zhao suddenly felt that his relationship with Ning Wengui was not so good after all.

"Now, while it's still hot, hurry up and go inside!" Grandma noticed her disdain and said sternly.

Without hesitation, Lin Zhao unbuttoned his clothes, letting the foul-smelling liquid envelop his body.

These liquids did not cause her any harm, but Lin Zhao felt that something gradually entered her body as the liquid became clearer.

"That boy's body is afflicted by python venom and is extremely weak. He cannot use this kind of medicine, and it will be even less able to suppress the corrosive effects of the python venom. Only by using your Phoenix Luck to suppress the python venom and gradually let the medicine permeate his whole body can you truly save him!"

It sounds simple, but only Lin Zhao knows how difficult it is to actually do it.
An hour had passed by the time the water in the bath was completely clear. Counting the time, he realized he had been away from the auction house for two hours, and it was getting dark.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Lin Zhao opened the door, and Butler Wang politely bowed to her, saying, "His Highness invites Miss Lin to the auction house for a chat."

Both of them are intelligent people, so it goes without saying that Lin Zhao also knew that the matter of Lü Mei must have taken a turn for the better.

I just didn't expect it to happen so long ago. Sensing Lin Zhao's surprise, Butler Wang chuckled and said, "The Emperor was also present this time. He saw the Second Prince and Miss Lü's uncontrollable behavior and severely reprimanded them, but..."

Lin Zhao said, "Are those two trying to drag me into this?"

Butler Wang looked at her apologetically: "Miss Lin has really had to see this and make a fool of herself."

Those two guys are really clueless. What kind of status does Lin Zhao have?
She'd be more than qualified to be the Crown Princess, so why should they be the ones scheming against her?
Lin Zhao waved his hand, having anticipated the shameless behavior of the two men, so he wasn't surprised. He was just curious about the attitude of the Youlan Emperor, who was planning to change the heir apparent, towards this matter.

Following Butler Wang to the auction house, the private room had already been cleaned spotlessly, and there was no indication of what had just happened. The burly man sitting at the head of the table looked at the girl who had entered, and a complex look flashed across his hawk-like eyes.

"Lin Zhao greets Your Majesty."

Lin Zhao bowed to Emperor Youlan in a junior's greeting, then looked at the two kneeling on the ground, who seemed to want to rush over and bite him, with a half-smile, and said, "What's going on? Are you an engaged couple who have committed a mistake together and are asking for the Emperor's forgiveness?"

Lu Mei gritted her teeth and said, "Miss Lin, you care about the Second Prince, why drag me into this! Today should have been the day you and the Second Prince achieved your goal..."

Before she could finish speaking, Emperor Youlan struck out with his palm, and all her remaining words vanished under Emperor Youlan's terrifying pressure.

Lu Mei looked at Emperor Youlan in horror, realizing that what she said was a bit outrageous, but she couldn't care less about that in order to drag Lin Zhao down with her. The disgust and anger of being defiled by scum like Ning Wenyue had burned away all her rationality like wildfire.

"Your Majesty, everything I have said is true! Miss Lin drugged me and the Second Prince, which is why I did this... The Sixth Prince was even seen by the powerful and influential people of the capital... If you don't stand up for me, I won't be able to live!"

If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, Emperor Youlan would have liked to slap this brainless person to death.

Who is Lin Zhao? Who was her previous fiancé? Would he even be interested in her good-for-nothing second son?!
Previously, I thought this girl from the Lü family was quite smart, which is why I wanted to arrange a marriage for her with my youngest son. I never expected that she would become so vicious and foolish when it came to emotional entanglements!

He was somewhat relieved that his youngest son hadn't taken a liking to her, otherwise he, the most outstanding prince of the Yulan Empire, would have been doomed!

"How do you want me to make decisions for you?" Emperor Youlan asked sarcastically.

Lu Mei sat there, feeling the coldness coming from above. She shuddered and finally realized what nonsense she was talking about. Her face turned pale, and she couldn't help but glance at Ning Wenyue next to her.

Ning Wenyue received the gaze and, though reluctant, still spoke up: "Father, since Miss Lin is so kind to me, I shouldn't let her down. Why don't we let her and Mei'er enter the manor together? However, Miss Lin's methods are really not respectable, so she should be the junior and Mei'er the senior. This way, we can strengthen our ties with the Lin family through marriage."

The more he talked about it, the more feasible it seemed. He even nodded to himself, thinking that he suddenly had the support of the prestigious Lu and Lin families, and that he could also get a woman like Lin Zhao, who was like a goddess in the moon palace. Just thinking about it made his eyes red with excitement.

The Emperor's lips twitched as he listened, and he really wanted to pick them up and shake the water out of their brains before letting them speak.

Making a young master of a powerful family his concubine? Is the Yulan Empire planning to be destroyed?

In a corner unnoticed by anyone, Yang Huihui touched the medicine bottle in her hand and revealed a sly smile.

She didn't do anything special; she simply put some incense in the incense burner before leaving the room. Inhaling too much of this incense would cause one to be mentally foggy for a period of time.

The two will soon wake up, and her spices will have already been cleaned up, leaving no trace.

Who would have thought that it was her doing that these two were kneeling here spouting nonsense?
