Miracle Doctor, Abandoned Daughter: The Sly Emperor's Wild Beast-Tamer Empress Chapter 156: The Trouble with the Fake Cosmetic Dan Pill
It must be said, though all three ladies are of similar age, only Mrs. Lan stood out among the pack that left her looking practically a decade younger than the rest.
Blushing, Madam Lan felt overly embarrassed at their excessive flattery. Its nothing much actually. I only ate more of the fruits and vegetables Ling Yue brought ho from ti to ti. Theres also the ointnt made from the beauty costic Dan pills she gave though.
Mrs. Lan, which places costic Dan pills are you using to have such good effects? Look at you. That skin is practically like an eggs shell, so nice and pearly white. What woman doesnt love beauty? Hearing its due to an ointnt, theres no way they wouldnt press on for more information.
Ling Yue says its from Master Longyu. If both of you like, I can have them sent over to your places tomorrow. I still have so at ho that I didnt use yet.
Pff, already so old and still so shaless. Do they think Master Longyus Dan pills are so easily attained? Hearing its from the great master, Nangon Qinglin couldnt keep still anymore and started to mouth off with her cynical words.
Nangong Qinglin, watch what you say. The Dan pills are indeed from Master Longyu and not so low class good from a street stall. Its one thing to insult her, its another to insult her god mother. Outraged, Ling Yue slams the table and stood up.
Hohoho, so people dont even blush when bragging. Lan Ying Yue, how many days have you been in the capital? You are but a three-cauldron alchemist, as if soone like you would be able to get sothing so precious from the great Master Longyu. Who in the capital doesnt know this? The great masters costic Dan pills are so precious that one cant even get it unless they got so connections. Let open your eyes and show you what a real costic Dan pill looks like. From her pocket, Nangon Qinglin pulls a bottle out and pours a beady looking object onto her palm.
See this? This here is the real deal. I personally went to Master Longyu yesterday to procure this at great expense. If what you say is true then bring yours out and compare. Nangon Qinglin had begged long and hard for this blue pattern costic Dan pill. Even then it costed her over five hundred gold.
Now this was indeed special. Unlike Ling Yues version that was one grade higher, which were yellow patterns, this one in Nangon Qinglins hand was but a blue pattern. Whats more, when Ling Yue saw the beady little thing, her brows quickly pricked up when her nose picked up the scent.
Sothings wrong
Then thinking back to that day when she t Longyu, Ling Yue imdiately understood whats going on after rembering what the dwarf said about getting revenge for his apprentice.
Whats wrong, you cant? Getting no reaction from the opposition, Nangon Qinglins cheekiness expanded like a balloon.
Miss Nangong, bragging or not bragging, we will all know once you try it. My mothers improvent is for all to see here, theres no denying this fact. As for yours in your hand, I have my doubts. Puckering her lips to one side, Ling Yue makes a doubting face.
Are you accusing of lying? Humph, fine, Ill test it right now and show you. Imdiately, she shaved part of the Dan pill into powder form and mixed it with water. Rubbing it onto her face, she then knew sothing was wrong for her skin didnt feel right.
Why is it so itchy? Finding it strange, Nangong Qinglin gasped and started to scratch her face repeatedly. The more she did, the worse the itch got.
Ahh! Qinglin, theres a lot of red dots on your face. Sitting closest to the girl, Hong Yu Ying cries out after noticing the problem.
Now things were getting serious. Frightened by her daughters facial condition, Mrs. Nangong hurries forward to look because the red dots were similar to an infectious disease that none dared to ntion.
Unlike Mrs. Nangon, the rest of the occupants on the table didnt fare so well and dashed to one side in order to gain so distance.
This is impossible, my costic Dan pill Master Longyu sold a fake costic Dan pill. Scared out of her wits, Nangon Qinglin tossed the pill in question away and started to sob miserably.
Before the festive banquet could even begin, this ss pops up. For a mont, the whole hall fell into disarray.
Her highness the Queen Dowager has arrived.
Imperial Consort Luo has arrived.
Note: A imperial Consort is nothing more than a senior concubine of the king.

In the critical mont, the Queen Dowager took control of the chaotic situation by leading a bunch of consorts and palace maids into the hall.
Whats going on? The Queen Dowager of Da Xia was a eighty sothing year old granny. Through great maintenance, shes been gifted with great fortune and kept her looks to that of soone in the forties.
After seeing Nangon Qinglins dotted face, even the Queen Dowager herself beca startled.
Your highness, earlier Miss Nangon used so sort of ointnt made by Master Longyus costic Dan pill and beca like this. One of the palace maid rushed forward to report.
Rubbish, Ive used Longyus products all my life and never experienced anything like this. This child mustve bought so fake one after being fooled. Quit standing around and call the royal physician this instant. The Queen Dowager hollers at the maid.
In no ti at all, the royal physician arrives at the scene and took a look at Nangon Qinglins face while not forgetting to examine the Dan pill on the floor.
Alkali li was added to this Dan pill. Once mixed with water, the li will easily intoxicate the skin. Fortunately, the amounts used here were very little and wouldnt cause permanent harm. I can say this costic Dan pill in question is a fake.
How can this be, I bought this directly from Master Longyu within the alchemist tower. How can Master Longyu sell a fake Dan pill. She cries out with sobbing tears.
Rubbish. Are you saying Master Longyu is selling counterfeit pills? This child is too insensible. Theres no need for you to attend the feast tonight. Go ho and confine yourself for three months and transcribe the female precepts a hundred tis.
Wanting to defend herself so more, Nangong Qinglin found herself being stopped at the mouth by her mother before she could utter another word. Then like a beaten dog, she was dragged away by her infuriated mother.
Taking this all in as a cody show, the rest of the ladies here werent as foolish as Nangong Qinglin. They knew very well that the Queen Dowager had a good relationship with Master Longyu and wouldnt stand for any form of slandering.
With this level of backing, who in the capital would dare question Master Longyus product?
While everyone thought Nangon Qinglin was at fault for this matter, only Ling Yue knew the truth. As per the girl said, Master Longyu sold her a counterfeit Dan pill.
Then again, Ling Yue personally felt the dwarf didnt do a good enough job. Why only alkali li? If it was herself, she wouldnt be so kind. However, the results from tonight werent so bad. Better than nothing.
Queen Dowager, please dont overexert yourself over that girl. Tonight is the Ghost Festival banquet, we should enjoy ourselves. A beautiful woman dressed in red ca over and lends support to the old queen dowager, her face a total smile.
How co the queen isnt here yet? As the head of the inner palace, she should be presiding over tonights banquet. Looking around, the old queen dowager wrinkles her forehead after being stung by the extre red of the consorts dress.
