The Rising Phoenix

"I can not guess what kind of cure from this list. Where do you get this list, my Lord?" Hou Meili asked.

To be honest, she became interested in the list.

"From my fiance." Liu Longwei stated.

Hou Meili heard about His Excellency's engagement. She thought Liu Longwei would break off the engagement since it was arranged by the royal family. They did not have a good intention when they arranged the engagement. She heard it was a girl from General Family who could not cultivate.

She had not got out of the room for a long time. So, she did not know the latest news about the girl.

"So, even you can not tell what kind of poison is in her body." Liu Longwei sighed.

"Who had been poisoned, My Lord?" Hou Meili asked.

"My fiance." Liu Longwei said.

"What? She had been poisoned?" Hou Meili was surprised.

"From what I heard, it is a poison seal." Liu Longwei stated.

Hou Meili's eyes became wider. She had heard about the poison seal before. There were multiple layers of seals in the body. First and second were good. However, to break the third seal, that person needed to drink the same power of poison to cancel the effect on the third seal. Using poison to fight the poison.

She did not know much about the poison seal. She just stumbled upon the knowledge of the poison seal. But she never met the person who actually had the poison seal. And she never expected that Liu Longwei's fiancé had that kind of thing inside her.

"My Lord, I have a request." Hou Meili stated.

"What is it?" Liu Longwei raised his eyebrow.

"Please let me see your future Consort." Hou Meili said.

"What? For what?" Liu Longwei asked.

"I am interested in the poison seal. Maybe I can help a little. You should know my skill, My Lord. I am a poison master." Hou Meili stated.

"Hmm... That's right. Well, I will talk with Fengfeng first before you can meet Fengfeng." Liu Longwei stated.

"Thank you, My Lord." Hou Meili bowed down.

"You can stay here for now. Don't let others see you." Liu Longwei advised.

"I understand, My Lord." Hou Meili nodded.

Liu Longwei was also thinking of sending Hou Meili to Bai Xifeng's side. Hou Meili was very skilful in poison. So, it would be useful for Bai Xifeng.

.....

Bai Xifeng heard from her father that the emperor had already punished the fourth prince with one month's confinement. She wanted to shout, "Just one month?"

When her father told her that the time increased from one month to three months, she was quite happy but not satisfied enough to apologise to that bastard.

Bai Xifeng laughed at the part when Bai Xiang threatened the emperor. He wanted the fourth prince to join the military training. The emperor refused the deal. He could not let his son join the military training. So, the emperor chose the three-month confinement.

The banquet was approaching. The servants became busier. Bai Xifeng also helped with the food. She chose what kind of food they would serve everyone. She also cooked the meal for the chef to taste. The gifts that they would give to the guests had been finished a long time ago.

After spending her day in the kitchen, Bai Xifeng took her time to take care of her garden inside the Mirror World. Hmm... everything looked great.

Baishe began to urge practice of one of the skills. She chose to practice Inscriber skill. She improved. Usually, she managed to write 20 runes in half an hour. This time, she could write up to 50 runes. She was happy.

.....

Finally, it was the day of the banquet. The guests started to arrive at General Bai Residence at 5 in the evening. Bai Xiang and Bai Xifeng were the ones for welcoming the guest.

All of the stores related to General Bai's Residence closed for today. The employees came over to the banquet to celebrate Bai Xifeng too. However, they ended up helping General Bai's family with the banquet.

Bai Xifeng told them that they did not need to do so, but they insisted. They said they could not help but to do it because they could not stand seeing their master's work while they were just watching.

With their help, everything became smoother. The guests arrived one by one. Bai Xifeng gave three invitations to the royal family. Two for the emperor and another one was for the second prince.

The one who came in the emperor's place was the crown prince and the seventh prince. It should be the fourth prince, but since the fourth prince could not get out of his mansion, the seventh prince took his place. The seventh prince seemed to be clever. He knew his place and kept his mouth shut. He just talked when someone asked him the question.

His mother, Noble Consort Guipin, Sha Bing, advised her multiple times to control his mouth when going to this banquet. The chance like this rarely came. She did not want his son to offend General Bai. She did not know if his son would be protected by the emperor like the fourth prince if he offended General Bai. Even though she was the noble Consort, her status was much lower compared to the Noble Consort Furen, Qian Yunyu.

The emperor doted on Noble Consort Furen, Qian Yunyu. That was why the fourth prince was protected like that by the emperor.
