If Bai Qing counted.

”Last one, Platycodon grandiflorum!” The palace maid finally finished her grand project and placed all the ingredients into a cloth bag, handing it to her.

”Thank you very much.” Jiu Mu Li took the cloth bag and examined it carefully. After all, all of these were the keys to her success! With these medicines, the chances of success would increase once again.

After she bid farewell to the palace maid, she hurried towards the Nine Flower Palace, in a hurry to prepare the medicine.

However, at this moment, an aggressive shout made her halt in her steps. ”Halt!”

Jiu Mu Li's face turned cold, she slowly turned around and stared at the person who shouted to stop her. At the moment, her entire mind was on the concoction of the medicine, which was related to her guarantee for Qin Zheng! She had made such a solemn vow. If she didn't come up with an effective method within three days, wouldn't she lose all face?

At this critical moment, everyone who came to stop her, don't blame her for being cold-blooded and heartless!

What stopped her was a large group of guards, all of whom had cultivation level at first glance. At this moment, they were encircling her, blocking all of her paths from all directions. They were teasing each other without restraint, and they didn't take her seriously at all.

”Is this the stupid Third Miss of Duke Zhen's Mansion? ”Tsk tsk, a person is exceptionally beautiful. Just look at her face and figure …” The guard then laughed, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth as he spat on the ground.

Even Jiu Tian Xue would have to be jealous of Jiu Mu Li's beauty. When placed in the palace full of beauties, it also possessed its own elegance and iciness, like a snow lotus blooming on top of a snowy mountain, causing one to be filled with the urge to pluck it.

A tinge of fear appeared in guard B's eyes. ”Don't even think about it, have you forgotten esteemed imperial concubine's instructions?” This woman crippled the Princess Xingyue, she wanted Jiu Mu Li to pay for it with her blood! First, it was to cripple her dantian, then it was to let her have fun with thousands of wild men, and finally, it was to turn her into a human! Her fate will be so miserable, so it's best if we don't provoke her. ”

When Jiu Mu Li heard everything, her originally indifferent expression instantly became as cold as frost. She slowly lifted her lips, her red lips opened and closed, asking every single word she could think of, ”Are you people from the Liu Gui Fei?”

Bai Qing had long since told her that she would take revenge on this grand concubine. The three thousand beauties of the harem were as beautiful as the clouds, and she could climb to the position of imperial concubine. Her scheming was deep, and her methods were obviously ruthless.

If she had injured Princess Xingyue, she would have become a thorn in his side. But even so, she never expected that Liu Gui Fei would actually attempt to use such a despicable method against her!

”That's right!” The guard replied with a grin, ”Beautiful one, are you afraid?”

His tone was frivolous and full of teasing.

”Afraid?” A trace of anger rose up from the bottom of Jiu Mu Li's heart, but on her face, she slowly revealed a smile. A beauty's smile was like a flower, a beauty that could topple nations. With just a smile, it could captivate souls. ”I'm just afraid that all of you will die for nothing.”
