Chapter 369: Feng Tianlan Makes Beautifying Pills
When Luo Yunzhu saw that Feng Tianlan went to open the windows, she ran to the other side of the room to open the rest of the windows.
“Moreover,” she said, “That rascal, Zhang Tiancheng, was right. You are my friend, and I want to support you unconditionally.”
It was good that the windows were open. That way, the odors coming from Lin Suyin could be entirely cleared without polluting the Crown Prince.
Feng Tianlan lightly laughed as she walked to the bedside. Seeing the clean water and handkerchief, she gently frowned as she sat down.
Luo Yunzhu leaned close to Feng Tianlan and teased her, “Tianlan, are you jealous?”
Feng Tianlan glanced at her shyly and shot back, “What nonsense.”
“It is not nonsense!” Yunzhu insisted. It was what she genuinely saw with her own eyes.
Before, Feng Tianlan could not be bothered to pay attention to Lin Suyin. But when she’d returned to see Lin Suyin about to kiss Si Mobai, she’d felt very uncomfortable and had lost patience with Lin Suyin.
Luo Yunzhu again attempted to guide Feng Tianlan to face her inner emotions. “Tianlan,” she prodded, “before when Tu Xiuyu was with Si Rong, were you jealous?”
Feng Tianlan gently shook her head and answered, “No.”
She could not recall her predecessor’s feelings. But when she remembered her own previous lifetime (perhaps she was too foolish), she could not recall having experienced any discomfort when she’d seen Jiang Ying and Shen Yunya interacting closely. No, she was not jealous.
“Then, you definitely did not love Si Rong. Otherwise, you would have been jealous a long time ago.”
Feng Tianlan looked at Si Mobai’s unbelievably beautiful face. She had not felt jealous when it had been Jiang Ying, but now she felt discomfort in her heart.
Feng Tianlan felt some frustration and stood up. “That’s enough. I’m going to refine pills,” she said.
Luo Yunzhu nodded vigorously and pushed Feng Tianlan out of the door, saying, “I can’t wait to see the results! Be quick, and don’t you worry. I will keep a lookout for you here. I won’t let Lin Suyin come again. Not even a female mosquito will be allowed in to lay a finger on His Highness.”
Feng Tianlan could not help but laugh as she walked toward the small house next door. She took out the Fire Cloud Furnace and laid out the herbs needed to make the Beautifying Pills, one by one. After a mere moment of hesitation, she placed the herbs in the furnace and started producing pills.
…
Four hours later, the Fire Cloud Furnace buzzed loudly. Then, the cover flew open, and five crystal clear pills emitting a light fragrance floated up slowly and landed into the small brocade box held in Feng Tianlan’s hands.
Feng Tianlan stashed the small brocade box then took out some herbs to place into the Fire Cloud Furnace. Without any other complicated steps, the simple potion was finished.
The scar on her face had been there for a long time, so it would not fade quickly if only the Beautifying Pill was consumed. Some extra potions were required to complement the pill to speed up scar removal and ensure that no traces remained. She had learned this from the medical books that she’d read in her previous lifetime.
All the while, Luo Yunzhu had been paying attention to Tianlan’s pill production process. So, before the door was fully opened, she had already poked her head in.
“What are you doing?” Feng Tianlan exclaimed when she saw a large face through the open door. The corners of her mouth twitched.
Luo Yunzhu grabbed Feng Tianlan by the shoulders and stared at her face closely. “How is it that the scar is still there?” Hadn’t she taken the Beautifying Pill?
Feng Tianlan was amused by Luo Yunzhu’s words. She replied, “I was making pills, not changing my skin. Moreover, taking the Beautifying Pill requires at least 3 days to effect a complete recovery .”
“Three days…”
“That’s the fastest possible,” Feng Tianlan said.
Luo Yunzhu looked up at Feng Tianlan with awe. “Tianlan, you are so capable. You only require three days, while others have to spend a month continuously taking the Beautifying Pill.”
“You and Chu Ling can have one pill each. Your complexions will improve after eating it.”
Luo Yunzhu accepted the pill and looked at Feng Tianlan. She asked, “How about you?”
“I have already taken one pill and am waiting.”
