Chapter 19 Beauty is a Trap

This didn't tell her how to conceive!

Should she trust this brat for once?

After thinking for a while, Zhang decided to quietly go outside the city in a few days.

Over the years, she had indeed invited all the doctors to her mansion. With a little inquiry, everyone in the mansion knew what was going on.

It seemed she had been too careless, allowing people with intentions to exploit the situation!

The three-day deadline had arrived!

Qin Yun was taken to Blue Mountain Academy by Qin Yuanzhang early in the morning.

Inside the carriage!

Qin Yun was still asleep, her eyes half-closed, in a daze.

"Yun'er, you can't fool around like before when you go to the academy this time!" Since learning that Qin Yun was poisoned, Qin Yuanzhang's attitude towards Qin Yun had softened considerably in the past few days, and he had become more gentle.

Precisely because he knew someone in the inner court was poisoning Qin Yun, Qin Yuanzhang had not visited the Third Concubine Zhang nor the Second Concubine Min in the past few nights.

"Father, you've said this countless times, your child understands!" Qin Yun pouted.

Ever since Qin Yuanzhang learned of his poisoning, he had been fussing over him a lot these past few days.

Even the meals had undergone earth-shattering changes.

In the morning, the kitchen would stew chicken soup, in the afternoon, pigeon soup, and before bed, a highly nourishing ginseng soup. Even more bizarrely, they stewed tiger penis for her to drink. She was poisoned, not incapable in that aspect. Besides, no matter how much of that stuff she drank, it would be useless! She would never need it in this lifetime.

Could it be that her father was afraid that the toxic effects would affect her ability to carry on the Qin family lineage in the future?

Alright!

Even without the toxic effects, she truly couldn't carry on the Qin family lineage in this lifetime.

Blue Mountain Academy!

Qin Yuanzhang led Qin Yun to Master Ouyang's courtyard.

Master Ouyang was the dean of Blue Mountain Academy and had also been a teacher to the current Emperor in his early years.

"Master Ouyang, this humble official brings his unfilial son to apologize to you!" Qin Yuanzhang stood before Master Ouyang, bowing. Qin Yun also maintained a respectful attitude.

Master Ouyang ignored them and went about watering and tending to his flowers, treating them as if they were air.

Qin Yuanzhang looked embarrassed, glanced back at Qin Yun, and then continued, "Master Ouyang truly has a refined hobby. I didn't expect you to be interested in flowers!"

"........."

Complete silence. Master Ouyang walked to the other side.

It seemed Master Ouyang had no intention of paying them any mind!

Qin Yun walked out from behind Qin Yuanzhang, looked around, and her gaze fell on a seven-colored peony.

The seven-colored peony's petals were severely dropped, and the leaves and stem were obviously withered.

She had seen this type of seven-colored peony in her previous life and had even raised one. This flower was extremely difficult to cultivate, and due to its rarity, even wealthy families might not be able to obtain it.

It seemed Master Ouyang had spent a lot of time on this seven-colored peony but had never found the right method.

Looking at Master Ouyang's busy back, Qin Yun curved her lips and smiled, her eyes shining with a dazzling light.

Approaching the seven-colored peony, Qin Yun sighed and shook her head. "Tsk tsk tsk... what a pity. Though the flower is beautiful, it has lost its original vitality. How can a seven-colored peony be cultivated like this?"

Upon seeing this, Qin Yuanzhang quickly pulled Qin Yun over, signaling her to stand still and not fidget.

Who knew!

Upon hearing Qin Yun's words, Master Ouyang turned around instead, looking at Qin Yun with a scrutinizing gaze.

"You recognize this flower?"

Seeing that Master Ouyang had taken the bait, Qin Yun bowed respectfully and said politely, "Yes, student has indeed seen this flower before! This flower is extremely delicate and requires a different watering method than other plants!"

"Is it truly different? Do you know how to water the seven-colored peony?" Master Ouyang became interested.

Looking at Qin Yun, who was respectfully bowing before him now, he found her different from before.

If it weren't for the seven-colored peony nearing its end, he would not have bothered talking to Qin Yun.

"If Master doesn't mind, why not hand this seven-colored peony over to me to care for a few days? I guarantee it will be restored to its former glory!"

She wasn't foolish! If she blurted out the method, Master Ouyang might not agree to let her enter Blue Mountain Academy.

For now, she could only proceed step by step. Only by making Master Ouyang need her help could she move forward.

Using the seven-colored peony to control Master Ouyang, and then entering the academy, this was a golden opportunity.

"Hmph! Young Master Qin is likely boasting. Since you don't know the watering method, don't waste my time and go back!" Unexpectedly, Master Ouyang didn't fall for it at all.

"Master, there's no need to be angry. It's just that the method is a bit complicated, and even if I told you now, Master might not use it correctly. Why doesn't Master give me a day? I guarantee this seven-colored peony will recover by the second day!"

She had originally wanted to stall for a few more days, but the longer the delay, the less patient Master Ouyang might be.

One day was just right, no need to wait too long!

Even with doubts, one day was very short, and trying it out wouldn't hurt.

One day?

Master Ouyang looked at Qin Yun, dressed in blue, with suspicion.

This time, Master Ouyang scrutinized Qin Yun from head to toe.

It was the first time he had seen Qin Yun wearing robes of other colors, such as this sky-blue robe with light gold embroidery around the edges, which enhanced the youthful vitality.

Upon closer inspection, the red marks on Qin Yun's face seemed much lighter than before.

He withdrew his gaze and stroked his white beard thoughtfully.

"Alright, just one day!" Turning back, Master Ouyang picked up the seven-colored peony and handed it to Qin Yun's embrace with a decisive movement. "If I see no sign of recovery in this seven-colored peony tomorrow, you are forbidden from entering the gates of Blue Mountain Academy from now on!"

"Yes, Master!" Qin Yun held the seven-colored peony, feeling happy in her heart. This small matter could not stump her.

"Master, I have had someone deliver my luggage to the academy. Do you think...?" Qin Yun looked at Master Ouyang with a smile. Master Ouyang naturally understood the implication.

"Si Qing, come here!" Master Ouyang called his beloved grandson to his side!

"You go and prepare a dormitory for Young Master Qin!"

"Yes, Grandfather." Ouyang Si Qing replied softly, then looked at Qin Yun. "Follow me."

"Thank you, Young Master Ouyang!" Qin Yun replied politely, looking at the fair-skinned and clean-cut young man before her. Qin Yun genuinely liked him.

That's right, she simply liked this type of young man – with a delicate and handsome appearance, looking like a little dumpling, extremely beautiful.

Qin Yuanzhang, standing beside them, saw that Qin Yun had successfully settled into the academy. He raised his hand and touched his nose.

This brat was more resourceful than him. It seemed his father was no longer needed.

Following behind Ouyang Si Qing, Qin Yun's eyes did not blink, her face showing a constant smile.

When they arrived at the dormitory door!

Ouyang Si Qing suddenly stopped!

Qin Yun couldn't stop herself and bumped her nose hard into his back.

"Ah! It hurts so much!"

Qin Yun frowned, raised her hand, and touched her nose!

Looking down, fortunately, the seven-colored peony was unharmed, or it would have been troublesome.

Looking up again at Ouyang Si Qing's handsome face!

Alas!

Beauty truly caused trouble!

"Young Master Qin, are you alright?" Ouyang Si Qing felt the bump on his back and turned sharply to ask Qin Yun.
