Chapter 143: Let Qi Anran Have a Taste of Disfigurement
On the second floor, Qi Yu glanced at the person opposite and, noting that Jiutu wore a stern face, deliberately asked, "Why doesn’t the State Preceptor enter the palace to meet His Majesty but come to my humble Medical Hall instead?"
Jiutu arrived at Yongchun Hall early in the morning, but there were too many people in line at the time, and he did not want to reveal his identity.
He had been waiting in the teahouse across the street until most of the people had left before he showed himself.
Upon hearing Qi Yu’s words, his expression remained unchanged, and only took a sip from the teacup before him, speaking indifferently, "I come here this time to ask for a favor."
Seeing his tone still held some reluctance, Qi Yu did not rush to inquire further and deliberately left him hanging.
Jiutu believed that after saying these words, Qi Yu would certainly become curious, but seeing her composed demeanor, he realized he had thought too much.
A hint of coldness flashed through his eyes, Lingya was right, the Princess Consort of Qi was indeed a tough nut to crack.
Both were seemingly in a contest, where the first one to speak would lose; the teahouse remained quiet for a good while, with only the fragrance of tea wafting through the air.
Qi Yu remained in a relaxed posture, focusing on the tea in her hands, not asking a single word about Jiutu’s intentions.
Jiutu was already feeling anxious, but restrained himself from speaking because he could not swallow his pride.
