Genius Doctor: Black Belly Miss Volume 1

by North Night (夜北)

  As he sat down to get some respite, his whole forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat.

  “Are you sure that vile thing is really in my residence?” He asked in a resigned manner.

  Jun Wu Xie was leisurely sipping tea when she finally placed the cup down and answered him: “To administer the poison of the wheat night flower, it has to enter the body orally.”

  Mo Qian Yuan’s face turned livid as his mouth twitched. This girl! Fine, he admitted he did not ask and he just assumed it was something near him. However, why did she not tell him earlier and only told him after he had went through all that fuss?

  “I’m hungry.” Jun Wu Xie was not bothered that Mo Qian Yuan’s face was black as coal.

  Mo Qian Yuan gritted his teeth as he reminded himself that they were in this together. He could only silently simmer as he ordered for the servants to prepare lunch to be sent into the study.

  “It…what does it want to eat?” Mo Qian Yuan looked at the black fur ball that was now curled up on her lap, swishing its tail as it looked back at him. His eyes twitched.

  This..

  After the incident yesterday, this black cat had left a shadow in his heart. He still could not figure out the origin of this black cat.

  If it was a contractual spirit, wait… that couldn’t be right, Jun Wu Xie’s affinity with contractual spirit had been known throughout the country. This girl did not have any during the awakening ceremony.

  “Wanna eat?” Jun Wu Xie looked at the little black cat on her lap.

  “Meow.” The little black cat blinked as it brushed its bushy tail on her arms, gently swishing it up and down her arms.

  [Fish! I want to eat fish!]

  “Fish.” She replied.

  Mo Qian Yuan’s mouth twitched slightly once again. Watching the strange conversation between this cat and girl refreshed his view on the world.

  Shortly after, servants came into the study and filled the desk with a huge array of food as colourful dishes filled the entire table. At the side was an eight treasure mandarin fish. Without any need for anyone to call for it, it swiftly jumped onto the table and contentedly helped himself to the delicious fish.

  Jun Wu Xie sat down to eat silently, on the other side Mo Quan Fei had no appetite as he had no mood because he had failed to find the source of the poison. He just poured himself a cup of wine resting his chin on one hand as he watched Jun Wu Xie slowly sampling the spread before her.

  Although Jun Wu Xie was petite, her notoriety was so well known that people had subconsciously avoided and feared her.

  However the girl in front of him was just a young girl enjoying her food.

  If she was not born into the Lin Palace, she would have had a very calm and easy life.

  Jun Wu Xie was slowly tasting each dish, amount of food she actually ate was a similar amount the cat had.

  Mo Qian Yuan felt more and more intrigued by this female ‘tyrant’ which the whole capital had called her. Although this was only the third time he had met her, the feeling she gave him each time was different.

  The first time was also his birthday, he remembered clearly that year her bright smile and that pair of sparkly eyes always followed his younger brother wherever he went. She was clearly smitten by him, she ws a lovely young maiden in love.

  The second time was yesterday’s birthday banquet, but this time her reputation had gone up a notch, but in a bad way, her name was at the tip of everyone’s tongue for quite a period of time. She was seated quietly at one corner. Too quiet until her presence was almost forgotten. Despite Mo Xuan Fei and Bai Yun Xian’s loving scenes. She did not waver and sat there as if she was in a different world.

  When he had met her again in the garden, he was surprised that this small girl actually had a strong character.

  The third time was today, he felt that he had found out another side of her. She had watched quietly by the side – the entire time of him making a fool of himself as he searched for the poison. This girl also had a little mischievous side to her.

  Although she was being stared at while eating, Jun Wu Xie still continued on eating in a calm and composed manner. Her eyes were downcast as she picked at the food with her chopsticks as if she was all alone in a room, not in the study of the Crown Prince’s residence with the Crown Prince seated across her.

  After staring for a long time, seeing that she had no reaction nor had she the intention to raise her head, Mo Qian Yuan got bored as he lifted his cup up and downed it in a single swig.

  Once the wine entered his mouth, a sizzling spicy sensation scorched his whole throat all the way down to his stomach, before he could even understand what was happening, he felt another wave as though there was a fire within as he lurched forward and vomited.

  Without any warning, he had emptied his entire stomach onto the table full of food.

  “…………………………….” Jun Wu Xie finally looked up, in her hands was a small glass bowl and the other was a pair of ivory chopsticks, as she looked at the Mo Qian Yuan who was still vomiting with a calm pair of eyes.

  The little black cat froze. It looked at the uneaten portion of fish that was still on the table that was covered in a suspicious liquid. It also had some splashed onto its fur.

  “I…….” Mo Qian Yuan knew he had messed things up and had wanted to explain himself but before he could even speak any further, he felt another burst of nausea as he quickly covered his mouth and rushed to the corner of the room and held into a wooden barrel and vomited into it.

  “…………………” Jun Wu Xie calmly put the bowl and chopsticks down as she got herself up and left the table of ruined delicacies.

  “Meow!” The Iittle black cat recovered from its previous stupor as it arched it’s back. It jumped off the table and rubbed itself crazily against the clean soft carpet.

  [Master! Why are you always like that! You knew that the effects of coming into contact with the wheat night flower poison would result in vomiting, why couldn’t you just warn that imbecile?!]

  Little black cat had tears streaming out as it frantically rubbed itself against the carpet, trying to clean it’s precious black fur.

  “I forgot.” Jun Wu Xie calmly at a corner, watching Mo Qian Yuan at one corner of the room belching out as he was clutching tightly to a wooden barrel. On the other side was the black cat rolling itself frantically on the carpet. Her lips curved upwards into a small smile.

  From the outside of the room, the guards could hear a commotion from within. They however did not dare enter as they asked if everything was alright. Mo Qian Yuan who had been vomiting felt like crying as he roared at them to go away.

  His whole face was as white as sheet.

  Only after drink ten whole cups of water did he feel much better as the spicy burning sensation subsided. He sat weakly at the corner of the study. His whole body had lost all its energy as he sat there limply, his clothes were messy and his collar slightly open, his eyes were hanging traces of tears as he sadly looked at Jun Wu Xie.

  “Is it the wheat night flower poison?” He asked seething with anger.

  Jun Wu Xie nodded.

  “Why didn’t you say anything earlier…..?” He lamented. Even if you beat him to death, he wouldn’t believe that she did not know the reaction if he came in contact with the poison. After he saw her calm demeanour, he knew that she had expected it!

  “There is no difference.” She sat there at one corner looking bright and fresh and most importantly, she was clean. She took out another the small porcelain bottle and opened it. A refreshing fragrance filled the air as she poured some onto her hands and she rubbed her hands together. The refreshing scent filled the room and the stench slowly disappeared.

  Even if she had told him in advance, he still had to vomit it all out, what difference did it make?

  So that’s was why she did not bother telling him.

  Mo Qian Yuan felt
that his alliance with this girl here was a double-edged sword. He might eventually die in her hands instead of his father and brother!

  “So, what did you eat?” Jun Wu Xie faced him without the slightest bit of guilt as she asked him in a nonchalant manner.

  Mo Qian Yuan was taken aback for a moment before his gaze filled with murderous intent landed on the jug on the table.

  Volume 1

  Chapter 73: “Jade Nectar (2)”

  He did not eat anything, he had only drank a cup of wine before he…

  “Someone poisoned the Jade Nectar?” Mo Qian Yuan’s face contorted as it paled further. He did not have a big appetite nor did he not have much interest in pursuing delicacies. He only had this habit to drink this king of wines termed Jade Nectar and he would drink a few cups every day.

  This wine, although drank in small amounts, however as it accumulated over time…

  “Wait.” Jun Wu Xie’s expression suddenly changed.

  “Jade Nectar?” Why did she find this term so familiar?

  Mo Qian Yuan did not know what she was thinking as he briefly explained: “This is the First Emperor’s personally brewed prized wine. He had brewed this wine himself, the recipe is extremely complex, after the death of the First Emperor, there wasn’t anyone else who could brew it other than my mother. After she has passed on, there was no one left in this kingdom that can brew it, hence the only Jade Nectar left are the ones that my mother had personally brewed.” They were bestowed to him after her passing so everyday he would drink this wine in small amounts to remember his mother by.

  Who in this world could be so cruel…to actually put poison in this precious keepsake he had left! Mo Qian Yuan clenched his fists tightly until they turned white, visible veins could be seen protruding out as his eyes had a murderous glint in them.

  In memory of his mother, the only thing she had left for him… they actually polluted it with such a vile thing!

  He would never ever in the slightest suspect that it was in this precious keepsake of his!

  “How much Jade Nectar are you left with?” Jun Wu Xie’s eyes had a slight sparkle as she asked him calmly.

  “There’s a few barrels left.” He gritted his teeth.

  “Bring me over, let me have a look.” She stood up quickly as the little black cat who was still rolling on the carpet immediately stopped and followed behind.

  Mo Qian Yuan did not put much thought into why she wanted to go as he brought her along to the cellar. On the way over, he did not forget to put some blame on the food saying that the ingredients were not fresh and Jun’s Family missy felt uncomfortable after eating it.

  Having the entire blame shifted onto her was so ridiculous that Jun Wu Xie shot him an incredulous look with a cold glint in her eye.

  Mo Qian Yuan could feel the murderous cold gaze coming from his back and did not dare turn around to look at the source as he quickly hurried and brought her to the wine cellar.

  In the cellar, there were five huge barrels, four were sealed tight as one was temporarily sealed for his daily consumption.

  “In the entire State of Qi, there’s only these five barrels Jade Nectar left.” He said with a hint of pride in them. Looking at these barrels of wines, he reminisced on the past when he was only half the height of these barrels and was sitting by the side, watching his mother brew this wine with undivided attention.

  Today, his mother was no longer around, he only had the wine left.

  Jun Wu Xie dipped her little finger into the barrel that was used for his daily consumption. She sniffed it and she could smell the extreme complex scent of a full bodied wine without any traces of the wheat night flower poison.

  “These wines are safe to consume, the poison is only administered before your consumption as it loses its effectiveness if left exposed for too long a period.” From the beginning, Jun Wu Xie’s line of sight never once left those five barrels of Jade Nectar.

  “Really?” Mo Qian Yuan’s face lit up, he could still keep his mother’s personally brewed wine?

  Jun Wun Xie nodded, a trace of loneliness was reflected in her eyes.

  She could feel her Little Lotus’s excitement and she knew that this was the Jade Nectar she had been looking for.

  She had finally found the Jade Nectar!

  “This wine, I want some.” She immediately asked him in the most direct manner.

  Mo Qian Yuan was surprised for a moment before he retorted: “You are a minor! You can’t even drink!”

  Jun Wu Xie calmly replied: “For making medicine.”

  Volume 1

  Chapter 74: “Jade Nectar (3)”

  For ordinary people, having a drop of Jade Nectar could be regarded only as a dream, even within the Royal Family, only Mo Qian Yuan and the Emperor had access to this privilege. Even Mo Xuan Fei could only sit idly by and watch them drink this.

  However this wine held a deeper meaning to Mo Qian Yuan, it was a precious memory of his mother.

  Jun Wu Xie wanted to use this wine to brew medicine made Mo Qian Yuan surprised.

  “It can be used as medicine?” The only reason why he drank a little of this wine everyday was because he missed his mother, not because he was an avid wine lover.

  Now, if the perpetrator knew that he had found out the source of it, they would use other means, rather than alerting them, he had to use another method.

  “Alright, you can have some.” He had made his decision.

  “I’m going to give you the wine only because I don’t want to go through all that again to find out a new source.” Just the thought of that tragic response, he felt suffocated once again. How his dignity was crushed in an instant when he had vomited all over the table. Thinking back also made him feel a little queasy as his face paled.

  Jun Wu Xie knew that this chance was hard to come by. Such a precious commodity that could kick start her cultivation was just in front of her! What heavenly spring? Who knew if she could ever find that in this lifetime?

  “Please prepare a small jug for me to bring back whenever I come visit you.” Jun Wu Xie decided to lay low and do this discreetly, anyway the wine was here and she could get it from him every time she visited. Her supply for this has been secured.

  “Uh..But if they poisoned the wine… then..” He looked at her wryly, if its poisoned wine, how could she make medicine out of it?

  “No need to worry.” She confidently replied.

  Mo Qian Yuan thought, the perpetrator wouldn’t want to drag her into it lest she gets tangled in it which will pull Lin Palace into this. If they knew it was for her, they wouldn’t poison it.

  “Ok, I’ll have it prepared for you.” He decided that he would deal with this step by step. He would let them know that this wine was a gift for her. He shuddered to think that he didn’t even know that he was poisoned in his own quarters and means that he was simply living in a cage where most things were not within his control. The servants watching him are the accomplices as well.

  When the day comes, he shall return tooth for tooth, blood for blood!

  He was relieved after ascertaining the source of the poison. Now he could start fighting back! He was also thankful that Jun Wu Xie had left some pills to aid him in his recovery.

  To completely cure him and have him back in the pink of health, time was of the essence. She had also set aside a lotus seed for him, but that had to wait till his body was in a better state, after which she would let him condition his whole body with the best of her ability. Towards people who were useful to her, she was rather generous.

  Mo Qian Yuan accepted the bottles she had given him, he knew deep down that she could spare no effort to save him, however she could also do the same by sparing no effort to dispose of him.

  After Jun Wu Xie had left him all the instructions on the various medicines, he had personally prepared a small jug of Jade Nectar and walked with her all the way up to her carriage. He stood rooted to the spot even though the carriage had long disappeared from his sight. H
e let out a big sigh as he stood there for quite some time.

  He looked up into the blue sky, he was feeling elated.

  Mother, I have found an incredible ally!

  A group of servants looked at him with a complex expression as they saw the smiling Mo Qian Yuan staring happily into the sky.

  To see such an expression on him, did it mean that he had really fallen head over heels for that tyrant?!

  Volume 1

  Chapter 75: “Rumours”

  Jun Wu Xie did not think that such an action would have triggered such a huge uproar.

  Within half a day, there was a new wave of gossip.

  Lin Palace’s Jun Wu Xie had just been abandoned by the Second Prince, however during the Crown Prince’s birthday banquet, she had set her claws on Mo Qian Yuan and seduced him! Early this morning, the Crown Prince had asked permission from the Emperor to let her visit him in his residence. For half a day, they were both cooped up in the room, a lone girl and a lone guy… Before she left, the Crown Prince even personally gave her his very own prized Jade Nectar as a gift! What was even more shocking was that he had personally walked her all the way to the carriage and after she had left, he had stood at the same spot watching for a long time…..and he was smiling the entire time! What did all of this imply?

  The news spread like wildfire within the Imperial City.

  His Royal Majesty has only two sons, the oldest was Crown Prince Mo Qian Yuan, the younger son was Mo Xuan Fei.

  The Crown Prince’s reputation had far surpassed the Second Prince, however with the death of the Queen, the Crown Prince who was known for his extraordinary disposition and intelligence had suddenly changed. Not only had he became eccentric, his grace also slipped. His mannerism had turned 180 degrees. His reputation went downhill and now even people found it hard to compare the current Crown Prince and Second Prince.
