“Smart.” Sima You Yue smiled, “It’s easy to talk to smart people.”
“Hai Mian is not here.” Lan Yue was in so much pain that he was drenched in cold sweat. “Give me the antidote first and I will find her whereabouts for you.”
“Give it to you first? Would you be so kind as to let me off after that? I think the first thing you’ll do will be getting people to catch me?” Sima You Yue scoffed, “Where is Hai Mian?”
Lan Yue clutched his stomach with one hand, trying to relieve his discomfort, but it was of no use.
“You are not Hai Xing.” He stared at Sima You Yue.
“Who said I’m not? It’s not as if you’ve seen me before!”
“Hai Xing calls Hai Mian ‘Little Aunt’, Lan Yue said, “You are Sima You Yue!”
“Ha ha, he really is a smart person.” It’s a pity that usually this smartness wasn’t spent on the right path and the entire mind was spent on beauty.
“Sure enough!” Lan Yue said, “How did you change your appearance? I heard that you are a great beauty, I don’t think this is it?”
Sima You Yue raised her eyebrows: “It seems that your condition seems pretty alright.”
“Of course not, can’t you see that I’m dying of pain?” Lan Yue said, “Look, we don’t have any conflicts, you just want me to find Hai Mian for you and you will give me the antidote.I will find her for you and I promise not to cheat you. When I get better, we can also speak better!”
“Well then, I guess it should be alright to give it to you.” Sima You Yue shook the bottle, “It’s really hard for us to discuss things properly when you are like that.”
She threw the bottle to Lan Yue, and Lan Yue took out the pill and smelled it. When he was sure that it was not poisonous, he ate it.
The effect of the medicine was very fast. He just took a few breaths, and his stomach no longer hurt.
“Your medicine is really amazing.” Lan Yue lay on the bed sideways, propping his head with one hand, the quilt only covered his important parts.
“Where is Hai Mian?” Sima You Yue asked.
“The sky is high and the weather is lovely, a handsome man paired with a beautiful woman, not to mention, a lone man and woman are in the same room, don’t you think we should do something else?” Lan Yue cast a wink at her.
“Even if you are in this mood, do you have this time?” Sima You Yue smiled and motioned him to check himself again. When he discovered that he was still poisoned, his expression changed again.
“You didn’t give me an antidote!” He said with sorrow.
“Ha ha, do you think you are too naive or I am too stupid?” Sima You Yue asked.
“Then what did you give me earlier? Was it just temporary?”
“Yes. It can temporarily relieve your pain.” Sima You Yue said, “As long as you find Hai Mian for me, I will give you the real antidote.”
“You are so sure that I will listen to you?”
“Yes.”
“Why? You don’t know me.”
“Because you are a lustful person.”
“Because I’m lustful? Could it be that you want to use my lustful nature and implement the beauty trap?”
Sima You Yue ignored the teasing in his words: “Out of ten people with such lustful natures, eight or nine are always afraid of death. If you happen to be the minority, then you can only say that I am out of luck. However, you will still be dead. It doesn’t matter to me, it’s the same if I ask other people.”
“So you are not at a loss.” Lan Yue pouted, “Sima You Yue really is Sima You Yue, this reputation is not false.”
“So what is your plan?”
“My plan…Of course is that I cooperate with you.” Lan Yue sat up and didn’t mind the quilt slipping off, revealing his perfect figure. The previous clothes had been destroyed, and he took out a new set of clothes from the interspatial ring and wore them slowly.
Sima You Yue simply watched him get dressed without any hint of shyness nor lust.
“Let’s go.” He put on his clothes, got up and walked outside.
“Where are we going ?” Sima You Yue was slightly startled, but she didn’t react.
“Of course to ask about the whereabouts of Hai Mian.” Lan Yue said, “I will seek the whereabouts of Hai Mian and in return, you give me the antidote.”
“Just ask first and we’ll discuss it again.”
Lan Yue took her to find the Chief Steward. The Chief Steward was arranging the affairs of this auction. Seeing Lan Yue come with Hai Xing, he asked, “Why are you here again?”
“Isn’t it because she has been so anxious to ask, so I came to help her ask about the whereabouts of Hai Mian.” Lan Yue found a place to sit down, and Sima You Yue stood behind him.
When the Chief Steward heard him ask about Hai Mian, the smile on his face froze for a moment before he said: “I told you before, don’t ask about Hai Mian anymore.”
“This is not what I want to ask, you know, I am the person who cherishes jade the most. When Hai Xing cried in front of me, my heart became soft. It’s not that big a deal, you can talk about the whereabouts of Hai Mian, so that she can give up.”
Lan Yue was a well known romantic, so when he said that, the Chief Steward didn’t doubt it. It’s just that he still didn’t plan to tell him the whereabouts of Hai Mian.
“It’s just a woman, you have so many before, how can you never see who you have done anything for.” The Chief Steward.
“Hai Xing is different from them.” Lan Yue said, “she will stay with me in the future.”
“So, this cauldron is still a bit useful? But I haven’t seen any improvement!”
“I can feel the changes in my body. You can’t tell it. It’s not a short time.” Lan Yue said, “What’s the big deal, just tell her, let her know that Hai Mian has been bought by someone who she can’t offend so that she can give it up!”
“If she knows, would you want to save her as well?!”
“How is that possible!” Lan Yue refused, “Help her ask, because I don’t want her to cry in front of me, and it won’t hurt me. I know that the other person can’t be offended, I’m not stupid!”
Sima You Yue kept her head down so that no one could see her expression. When she heard this, she raised her head and said with a laugh: “I just want to know the whereabouts of my Little Aunt. I won’t let the Young Master take risks! If the Chief Steward doesn’t believe me, I can swear an oath.”
Lan Yue heard this soft and weak voice, thinking that she saw her body in the room without changing her face, she couldn’t help but vomit: Pretend! She really knows how to pretend!
The Chief Steward saw Lan Yue’s stubborn expression, seemingly saying: if you don’t tell me, I would not leave, so he sighed and said, “It’s not that I didn’t want to tell you, but divulging it will affect other people’s lives.”
“What’s the matter! Anyway, it will be known sooner or later!” Lan Yue said, “Don’t sell it, let’s talk about who it is.”
“The person who came to buy it was from the Palace. I heard that it was the Ghost Concubine who sent someone to buy it and was going to give her to a subordinate.” The Chief Steward finally relented.
“The Ghost Concubine?” Lan Yue looked at Sima You Yue. She was also surprised when she heard him, then she turned her gaze back and asked, “Then do you know who she is being given to?”
“How would I know about this?” The Chief Steward said, “Anyway, there are only a few people on the left and right who can let the Ghost Concubine take action. But no matter who it is, you can’t touch it.. This thing ends here. You are no longer allowed to ask, alright?”
