Chapter 93: Second Slap (1)
Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
"By now, the Imperial Doctors should have verified it's authenticity and sent it to His Majesty." Jun Wu Xie raised her eyes, watching the paled and stiffened face of Bai Yun Xian.
Bai Yun Xian's stood lips trembling, body reeling from the shock.
Mo Xuan Fei's face darkened, he never would have imagined, Jun Wu Xie hid such a hand!
Several bottles of Jade Dew pills have already been gifted to His Majesty when Bai Yun Xian first arrived in the Kingdom of Qi. Any medication taken by the Emperor, has to be ascertained by the Imperial Doctors to be safe, before it can reach him. The Imperial Doctors might not be able to replicate the myriad of medicines passing through their hands, but they can easily determine their properties.
Mo Xuan Fei had intended for Bai Yun Xian to declare the pills to be fake, rendering Jun Wu Xie unable to refute. After all, no one will believe a nobody like Jun Wu Xie, over the words of a disciple of the esteemed Qing Yun Clan.
No one could have thought, Jun Wu Xie had prepared her hand so well against the treachery, before the pill verification.
Being in the hands of the Emperor, the Jade Dew pills gifted by Bai Yun Xian must have passed through the Imperial Doctors, who have checked on their properties and content. Having them verify if these pills here are the same will be easy to ascertain.
Judging from Bai Yun Xian's reaction, Mo Xuan Fei can guess that the Jade Dew pills Jun Wu Xie brought are genuine!
When did Jun Wu Xie become so intelligent?
Mo Qian Yuan watched this scene unfold from the sidelines, heaved a sigh of relief, a hint of a smile as the ends of his mouth curled up, watching Jun Wu Xie intently.
This seemingly young, quiet girl, is more capable than she seems!
Jun Wu Xie could have asked Bai Yun Xian to send the pills to the Imperial Doctors for verification, but she held back, luring Bai Yun Xian to declare the pills were fake, before she revealed she sent the bottle to the Emperor.
When it was found out that the Imperial Doctors had ascertained the authenticity of the Jade Dew pills, and Bai Yun Xian could not, it could only mean that she lacked the ability to ascertain, or she harbours ill will and deliberately made a false declaration!
What is said cannot be undone, this stroke of genius from Jun Wu Xie is equivalent to a slap on the face of Bai Yun Xian.
A resounding slap!
With a single move, Jun Wu Xie has Bai Yun Xian slapped senseless, and pinned down Mo Xuan Fei.
He looked upon Jun Wu Xie in disbelief, a stranger to him.
Is this not the fawning girl who followed behind yearning and craving attention? Or the boorish, rude and mindless idiot?
Why does the Jun Wu Xie here feels so unfamiliar, so distant?
He had thought, Jun Wu Xie's cold and aloof manner to him was due to her being abandoned over Bai Yun Xian, and in an attempt to catch his attention, she imitated the cold mannerisms of Bai Yun Xian, thinking that he liked that about her. It is clear now, it was just all wishful thinking on his part.
The Jun Wu Xie of the past, does not even know medicine, let alone making Jade Dew pills. Hiding her hand, by secretly sending the pills to the Emperor, the Jun Wu Xie he knew should not have been capable of such!
Now, in this situation, it feels like slaps across the face of Mo Xuan Fei, knocking him off his pedestal of arrogance, and driving the despair of defeat deep into him.
No!
He will not allow that to happen!
"Jun Wu Xie, that was wilful of you, how can you send that to my Imperial Father, the Emperor? It might poison him! Yun Xian, come with me to pay a visit to my father, we cannot let anything happen to him." Mo Xuan Fei was not being magnanimous as he pulled Bai Yun Xian by the hand and hurried out the door.

He could not allow Jun Wu Xie to triumph, as long as he got to his Imperial Father first, have his Imperial Father instruct the Royal Doctors to declare that the Jade Dew pills were fake, Jun Wu Xie shall suffer his wrath!
Dragged along by Mo Xuan Fei, Bai Yun Xian abandoned her usual contrived poise in her haste. It is clear if the Royal Doctors are to verify the Jade Dew pills as the real deal, she will suffer utter disgrace and humiliation.
Jun Wu Xie sat there watching Mo Xuan Fei's dramatic antics, making no move to stop him.
With Jun Wu Xie's inaction, Mo Qian Yuan jeered after the departing figures.
"Second Brother, why the hurry? If there are issue with the pills, the Royal Doctors will not allow medicine of dubious origins to reach our Imperial Father." Mo Qian Yuan taunted with a smile at the flustered Mo Xuan Fei, in return for the oppression suffered at the hands of Mo Xuan Fei all this time, freeing the heavy knot in his chest.
Being helpless himself against Mo Xuan Fei, it was a grand sight to behold seeing Jun Wu Xie's resounding 'slap' on Mo Xuan Fei. That felt really good!
Mo Xuan Fei was in no mood to bicker with Mo Qian Yuan, he just needed an excuse to leave quickly. Irregardless whether he can stop the Royal Doctors, as long as he leaves the Crown Prince Residence now, he could pretend that none of today's events ever happened and salvage some dignity for Bai Yun Xian and him.
Alas, the Heavens seemed to be against Mo Xuan Fei. Before he could scamper out of the Crown Prince Residence, two palace eunuchs scurried forward, carrying a tray of jewels, wide smiles across their faces.
"Your Highness, Miss Bai, I was thinking I will find you here. The Jade Dew pills from Miss Bai have been received and His Majesty has gifted these jewels for Miss Bai's pleasure." The eunuch bearing the gifts was His Majesty's personal senior eunuch, obsequiously smiling.
"What did you say?" Mo Xuan Fei could not believe his ears.
The eunuch was somewhat taken aback by Mo Xuan Fei grim expression, and stammered.
"Hi ... His Majesty, ordered your ….. lowly servant ... to send these gifts over..."
"You said Yun Xian sent the pills to Imperial Father?" Mo Xuan Fei stared, eyes wide in astonishment, Bai Yun Xian paled further, blood drained from her face.
The eunuch did not know what to make of the situation, Jade Dew pills are exclusive to the Qing Yun Clan, they must have been sent by Bai Yun Xian.
Mo Qian Yuan looked on at the stupefied people by his doorway, his mouth curled up in scorn, and turned to see Jun Wu Xie, calmly head lowered, still sipping her tea.
Jun Wu Xie had known Mo Xuan Fei would develop cold feet, and weasel his way out. She secretly sent the pills to His Majesty and sent it under Bai Yun Xian's name! The Emperor, to garner support from Qing Yun Clan, will gift in return, oblivious to the fact that will cut off his way out of this mess.
With the gifts here, it just showed that the pills sent by Jun Wu Xie have been verified by the Royal Doctors, and conveyed to the Emperor.
It is now clear, whether those Jade Dew Pills were genuine.
The eunuch's uncanny timing with his arrival bearing the gifts, did not give Mo Xuan Fei any wiggling room.
"Jun Wu Xie, you dare deceive His Majesty! Those pills were clearly not from Yun Xian!" Mo Xuan Fei eyes full of malice, refusing to be toyed around by Jun Wu Xie, a woman he once abandoned, it was intolerable.
Jun Wu Xie slightly raised an eyebrow, "It belongs to her."
"What nonsense!"
Jun Wu Xie said indifferently: "Replacement for the bottle my cat broke."
She had assured, she will compensate Bai Yun Xian for the Jade Dew pills.
"The result is plain to see, Bai Yun Xian, your conclusion?" Jun Wu Xie fixed her frosty gaze upon the pale quivering frame of Bai Yun Xian.
