Strongest Lady's

Ch. 24-The Chaos at the Drug Hall

Weiruo observed the four pills in his hand, Weiruo guessed that all of them were at least of medium quality judging from their color.

After tidying up the scattered pill ingredients, Weiruo took a cross-legged position and swallowed a single pill. The pill slowly melted within Weiruo's mouth and immediately Weiruo began to feel the energy pulling the natural energy around him.

Half an hour later Weiruo reopened her eyes, the girl could feel if her inner power was restored thanks to the energy pill just now.

Weiruo moved from his place, the remaining three pills he would save to practice later tonight.

“Yinyi, I want to see Mom, make sure there is warm water for me to take a shower when I return,” Weiruo told Yinyi who was in front of her room.

“Good, Miss.”

“Nona, poison is quite a taboo thing in the empire, can not sell it carelessly,” said a middle-aged man who was talking to Weiruo.

Weiruo snorted in annoyance, but could do nothing if the reason was so.

Unable to find what he wanted, Weiruo ended up going to the Medicine Hall, where the collection of pill ingredients was much more complete.

“Liver grass, dew flower root,...,” Weiruo read the list of items he will buy.

The queue was still so long, it would probably take almost half a day for Weiruo since there were only 2 rows of queues inside the Medicine Hall, though, the girl was not out of thought because this crowded place only has 2 service tables.

‘Wait, there should be ten.’

Weiruo reread the list of medicinal ingredients in his hand and realized there was one item that was missed so Weiruo had to remember what ingredients she needed before leaving earlier.

“Kyaa!”

A shout attracted everyone's attention, they quickly looked in one direction and found a young man aiming a dagger at a girl's neck.

‘What is he crazy?’ weiruo thought, no one is crazy enough to look for trouble in the Medicine Hall which clearly has a name in the capital.

“You all give me a way!” said the young man loudly.

The visitors immediately opened the road, the young man asked an employee to take the medicinal ingredients somehow, Weiruo could not hear it clearly because the distance was quite far.

The girl who was being held hostage looked frightened and started to shed tears.

“Shut!” snapped the young man while bringing his dagger closer to the girl's neck.

Weiruo walked out of the crowd, then quickly threw a small knife at the young man.

Sensing that an attack was coming, the young man immediately repelled the small knife Weiruo threw, while Weiruo pulled the hostage girl towards him.

Weiruo launched a punch that directly aimed at the young man's face, making him instantly bounce quite far away.

‘his ability is quite bad,’ Weiruo teased in his heart.

The young man immediately got up and attacked Weiruo, but Weiruo managed to dodge each attack quite well.

Suddenly the voice Weiruo recognized stopped the commotion at the Medicine Hall, Weiruo turned his head and found Commander Gong running towards him.

Commander Gong quickly incapacitated the young man. Soon some soldiers came and secured the young man, the girl who had previously been a hostage was also safe thanks to Weiruo.

“Nona, you are so brave,” Praise Commander Gong.

Weiruo only nodded, not daring to speak, a warlord like Commander Gong would naturally be able to recognize his voice if Weiruo spoke.

“The troublemaker will be locked up in the palace prison, may be punished severely for using poison. If I may know if I can hear it from you?” Commander Gong asked.

Weiruo did not speak, only using hand gestures to reject Commander Gong.

“Ah, forgive me, I don't know..”.

Weiruo only nodded, since the troublemaker's problem was already settled, Weiruo immediately bought the materials he needed.

***

Commander Gong was a little surprised by Weiruo's words because the commotion in the City Hall was not too crowded until it reached the ears of the royal members.

“Yes, Princess, but it has been successfully handled.”

“She's really brave, I wonder what a guts-filled person's face looks like.” Weiruo looked at Commander Gong with a meaningful gaze.

The one who was invited to speak seemed to understand and reject Weiruo subtly. “Mr Princess, the troublemaker seems to be carrying poison, we have not checked it so afraid if later he hurt you.”

“Just calm the Commander, I make sure if he will not hurt me,” said Weiruo trying to convince Commander Gong.

“Dad, look...,” Weiruo shootout on Xuan Guoxin.

“Rou’er, Commander Gong is right, he might just be able to hurt you.”

“I want to go!”

Weiruo looked annoyed and trying to persuade his father, he had come all the way to Xuan Guoxin's study just for this.

Weiruo's curiosity about the poison was smoldering when he heard the troublemaker at the Medicine Hall previously used the poison, of course Weiruo had to find out about the poison used.

“If Dad permits I will give you a gift.”

“Ruo’er .. cannot.”

“Good.”

Weiruo turned around and left without speaking any longer, of course the girl was annoyed at the rejection from her father.

***

A shadow darted from behind the tree, the western region of the palace was a region rarely visited because it became a prison area. Usually the prisoners in the place are prisoners from the royal family itself, if there are prisoners from outside will be moved within a few days after the sentence from the emperor.

From the entrance of the prison, a guard is seen sleeping, the figure quickly enters the prison.

“Cih, asking permission is just formalities,” grumbled Weiruo.

The holding cell was underground, Weiruo was led by the light from the torch immediately downstairs and looked for the person this afternoon.

After a long search due to the large number of cells there, Weiruo finally found what he was looking for, seen the young man sitting in meditation in the corner of his cell.

“Hey, you,” call Weiruo slowly.

The young man opened his eyes and found Weiruo standing in front of the cell.

“Do you have poison? I need it.”

Weiruo saw that the young man did not respond, but went back to meditating.

“It looks like the wound on your stomach is hard to heal.”

Weiruo smiled faintly, while the young man immediately opened his eyes and drew closer to Weiruo quickly.

“You ... where did you find out?” the young man asked cautiously, no one else knew this but him and the one who became his enemy.

“You forgot me?” Weiruo took out her dagger.

The young man was surprised to see the dagger in Weiruo's hand, the dagger was the same as the one used by the person who stopped him earlier this afternoon.

However, the young man was unsure as weiruo looked like an innocent noble girl who did not even know how to raise a sword.

“You also got poison, right?”
