Chapter 409: Chapter 409 Seeking Medicine

"So what? On regular days, I don’t even know how much I’ve helped Nanli, I’m certainly much more useful than you."

Lin Xuanxuan looked at his smug expression and couldn’t help but glare at him.

"You might not know yet, but now I’m in charge of managing the Jici Academy. Just on this point alone, you can’t compare to me!"

Their argumentative demeanor, in the eyes of Chu Nanli, seemed so childish that it made her want to laugh.

She coughed once, drawing both of their attention.

"You two, since you’re going to be working together for a while, can’t you give each other a break?"

Lin Xuanxuan couldn’t help but widen her eyes in response, "Apart from healing and saving people, he knows nothing. What use can he be?"

"Master sent me over exactly to teach them the skill of healing and saving lives, something you can’t do, right?"

Zhuang Muyan was now prouder than ever of his medical skills.

Without his medical skills, he feared that today he really couldn’t compete with Lin Xuanxuan.

"So what? Do you understand accounting? Do you understand how to do business? You know nothing, so how can you compare to me?"

"Alright, alright."

Chu Nanli, feeling helpless, stepped forward and pulled Lin Xuanxuan to sit beside her.

Seeing this, Zhuang Muyan stopped arguing and obediently sat on the other side.

"I’ve assigned Muyan the task. During this period, he will often go to Jici Academy to teach the children the basic principles of medicine. You’ll need to take care of the other aspects as well," she said.

With Chu Nanli speaking like this, the two of them naturally couldn’t continue their confrontation.

After all, though they didn’t like each other, they didn’t want to make things difficult for Chu Nanli.

"Well, I’ll make it clear now, if he doesn’t teach wholeheartedly when the time comes, I won’t spare him any face," Lin Xuanxuan declared.

Lin Xuanxuan simply disliked his current demeanor.

Her relationship with Chu Nanli was clearly closer, so why should he feel proud here?

Although the two quarreled every time they met, Chu Nanli still had confidence in them handling tasks.

At least she knew that the Jici Academy wouldn’t face problems under their watch.

...

Chu Nanli was arranging everything unhurriedly, completely oblivious to the news from the War King Residence.

She was also unaware that ever since she had confined Lin Fuying, Ye Yunting’s attitude towards her had worsened significantly.

Previously, he would at least tacitly allow Lin Fuying’s servants to come and go.

But now, the guards stationed outside had doubled, all unapproachable, and they refused to make any concessions.

Xiaoyun returned from the gate looking downcast, and from her expression alone, Lin Fuying knew she must have failed to get any favors from those guards yet again.

"How can you be so useless!"

Lin Fuying couldn’t help but glare at her, finding Xiaoyun’s incompetence increasingly irritating.

Nowadays, the capable people around her were indeed dwindling.

Facing Lin Fuying’s criticism, Xiaoyun had no response but silence.

These past few days, she had even thought about switching masters.

But within the War King Residence, other than sticking close to Lin Fuying, what could she possibly do?

"Never mind. Go and tell the guards at the door to call Bai Wuheng to come and treat me because I’m not feeling well."

"Why aren’t you going yet?"

Seeing Xiaoyun still frozen in place, Lin Fuying’s tone became even worse.

"Yes, I’ll go right away!"

Recognizing the urgency, Xiaoyun hurried to relay the message.

Fortunately, Ye Yunting, although extremely disgusted with her by now, still cared about the child in her belly, and wouldn’t let anyone stop Bai Wuheng from coming over.

It had been two or three days since his last visit to the Prince Residence.

After learning the truth about Lin Fuying not being pregnant, Bai Wuheng had guessed the purpose of her summoning him now.

Although he felt some resistance in his heart, thinking of the past, he decided to set out for her place.

"Brother Bai, now, you are the only one willing to help me."

As soon as Lin Fuying saw Bai Wuheng, she adopted her usual pitiable demeanor.

"These past few days, Brother Yunting has refused even to see me, let alone listen to me speak."

"So you still plan to continue deceiving him?"

Bai Wuheng, looking serious, stared at Lin Fuying, still trying to persuade her to change her mind.

Although he was willing to help Lin Fuying, he still hoped that she would abandon this idea that would ruin her once exposed.

His words caused a flash of impatience in Lin Fuying’s eyes.

If Bai Wuheng truly didn’t want to help her, he could have just said so—why the pretense?

"Brother Bai, I don’t want to do this either, but you know Brother Yunting’s temperament. If I tell him the truth now, he will definitely abandon me!"

Of course, out of selfishness, Lin Fuying did not tell Bai Wuheng about the recent changes in Yunting.

She also didn’t tell him that Ye Yunting had already been to see Chu Nanli several times and even considered bringing her back to the Prince Residence.

If she were to disclose all this, Bai Wuheng would definitely not want to continue helping her.

"Well then, what did you call me here for today? Is there something you need me to do for you?"

Bai Wuheng sighed. In the end, he could only choose to compromise.

Seeing this, Lin Fuying breathed a sigh of relief.

She had indeed feared that Bai Wuheng, due to too many concerns, would ultimately refuse to help her.

"Brother Bai, I want you to help me prepare some medicine that can feign the effect of inducing a miscarriage, one even the Imperial Physician can’t detect."

Lin Fuying’s eyes flickered for a moment, worried that Bai Wuheng might refuse to help, she hurriedly added.

"I don’t intend to harm anyone, I just want to find an opportunity to let this child disappear quietly."

After all, there was no child in her womb to begin with.

Without revealing the truth to Ye Yunting, this approach was already as "honest" as she could be.

If she merely wanted to have a miscarriage, why would Lin Fuying need to scheme so desperately?

She naturally had other plans.

But now in front of Bai Wuheng, she of course could not reveal the real situation and had to find another excuse.

After pondering for a while, Bai Wuheng agreed.

"However, this medicine will cause some damage to your body, no matter how small. You must tell me before using this medicine."

That way, if Lin Fuying had an accident, he could help her in time.

Thus preventing her from suffering too much harm.

"Brother Bai, you are truly kind."

Lin Fuying showed a touched expression and stepped forward, intending to lean against Bai Wuheng as she had done before.

But Bai Wuheng’s expression slightly changed and after an internal struggle, he lightly stepped aside to avoid her embrace.

Noticing his resistance, Lin Fuying did not say much.

As long as Bai Wuheng was still willing to help her, that was enough.

As for what Bai Wuheng really thought, she didn’t care much about that.
