Jiang Qingyi returned to the Imperial Preceptor's Residence.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, she spotted two brocade boxes on the stone table.
"Someone come."
Jiang Qingyi called toward the doorway.
"Your Excellency, Imperial Preceptor."
A maid soon came out and bowed respectfully to Jiang Qingyi.
"Who sent these two gift boxes?" Jiang Qingyi asked.
"Your Excellency, Imperial Preceptor."
The maid replied.
"These two gift boxes were sent by Consort Xue of Ningxue Hall and Consort Mu of Hanjiu Hall."
"The two consorts also asked me to pass along a message. They said they had seen everything Your Excellency had done for His Majesty, and that these two items were meant to make it up to you."
"They also said they could refine those pills themselves from now on, so there would be no need to trouble Your Excellency, Imperial Preceptor."
Listening to the maid's reply, Jiang Qingyi furrowed her brow. At last, she waved a hand. "I understand. You may go."
"Yes, Your Excellency, Imperial Preceptor."
After the maid left, Jiang Qingyi opened the gift boxes sent by Consort Xue and Consort Mu.
The gift Bai Ruxue had sent was a ten-thousand-year-old sea lingzhi, which was remarkably effective at replenishing Qi and Blood.
The gift Qin Siyao had sent was a bottle of ten-thousand-year-old Hundred Blossom Wine, with the same effects as the sea lingzhi.
"Hmph!"
Jiang Qingyi snorted and closed the boxes.
How could she not know what Bai Ruxue and Qin Siyao were thinking?
They already knew she had refined a Steal Heaven Pill for Xiao Mo.
And the Steal Heaven Pill consumed vital blood.
They had sent her these things to replenish her Qi and Blood simply because they didn't want Xiao Mo to owe her a favor.
But what did anything she did for
