Jun Chang’an said bluntly, “I want to say that perhaps there’s a traitor in our manor.”
“Traitor?” Yan Huaijing sneered. “Don’t tell me you want to say Senior and the others?”
Jun Chang’an did not admit it directly, but he did not deny the meaning in his words. “Other than them, no one in the manor knows how to poison with Gu.”
Yan Huaijing said, “But you also said just now that the person who wanted to frame the Crown Princess Consort was a man. Does that Gu Lady look like a man?”
Yi Man’s body was no different from ordinary women, or even petite. Moreover, there were no fluctuations of internal energy on Yi Man’s body, which meant that Yi Man did not know martial arts at all. However, the shadow Jun Chang’an saw could come and go freely in the night.
Therefore, in conclusion, the culprit could not be Yi Man.
Jun Chang’an could actually say—perhaps they had more than one Gu Lady in their hands. What if there were other Gu Masters? Or perhaps they had taken the Gu from Yi Man and handed it to an expert to complete the mission?
However, he did not say it because he understood Yan Huaijing’s personality— he would not use anyone he suspected, but he would not suspect anyone he used. Just like how Yan Huaijing had never doubted his loyalty all these years, Yan Huaijing would not doubt the group of otherworldly experts he had invited back.
This was a very precious advantage of Yan Huaijing. But if he was not careful, he might become his fatal blind spot.
Yan Huaijing paused and frowned. “Go to the event location and investigate again to see if you can find any clues. Then… go and contact Bai Xiaosheng.”
Jun Chang’an said, “Your Highness, do you want to use Bai Xiaosheng to find the method to cure the Crown Princess Consort? You should understand that Bai Xiaosheng will never do two businesses for one person. Back then, in order to find the woman who saved you in Prefecture Xu a few years ago, you had already bought news from him. He won’t answer your second question for the rest of his life.”
At the mention of this, Yan Huaijing actually regretted it. Three years ago, he was assassinated in Prefecture Xu and was saved by a woman who was pregnant. He had actually recognized that the woman was Yu Wan, but he could not believe it.
In the end, it was her.
It was not a pity to waste a Blood Lingzhi. Unfortunately, he would never have a chance to deal with Bai Xiaosheng again.
Yan Huaijing said seriously, “Not in my name, in the name of the Crown Princess Consort! The dignified Crown Princess Consort of the Great Zhou and the daughter of the Prime Minister should be qualified to make a deal with Bai
Xiaosheng!”
Jun Chang’an accepted the order and left.
He and Bai Xiaosheng were considered old acquaintances, but it was not entirely true that they had a good relationship. Their remaining friendship had already been used up when he helped Yan Huaijing pull the strings. It would probably not be so easy to make a deal with Bai Xiaosheng next.
After all, Bai Xiaosheng did not take on everyone’s business.
The news of Han Jingshu being poisoned spread like wildfire. All the imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital were invited to treat her, but the results were no different. The doctors of the Great Zhou were not good at Gu poison, let alone the fact that Han Jingshu was not poisoned by an ordinary Gu.
When the news reached the Young Master Manor, Yan Jiuchao had already gone to court. Yu Wan was dazing in the manor.
Why was she in a daze? Because she had nothing to do!
The trivial matters in the manor were naturally handled by Uncle Wan. Uncle Wan did everything flawlessly and could not bother her at all. Of course, she still had four noisy children, but the three little fellows played by themselves. They were in the manor and she could not catch them. Little Bruiser was at the age where he should go to school, but wasn’t there still Prince Yan?
Prince Yan’s knowledge was much higher than hers, and his patience was not inferior to hers. When he lectured, he had a lot of references, making Little Bruiser suspect that he had been studying a fake book all his life!
Prince Yan’s class was very interesting, and Little Bruiser was studying very seriously.
This child had still polished his temperament in the year he was in the countryside. Initially, with Yu Shaoqing doting on him and Yu Wan protecting him, he was actually a little arrogant. But now, even Yu Wan could feel the calmness in him that was different from his age.
This made Yu Wan think of Zhou Jin.
Of course, Zhou Jin’s experience was far crueler than Little Bruiser’s. He also had a greater responsibility than Little Bruiser. Therefore, if Little Bruiser really became the second Zhou Jin, Yu Wan’s heart would ache.
Little Bruiser was only a little more sensible than before, but he didn’t lose the liveliness he should have. After class, he played crazily with the three little fellows in the manor. Yu Wan and Prince Yan didn’t restrain them.
Since she didn’t have to worry about Little Bruiser, Yu Wan felt that she had nothing to do. Were all births so boring? Yu Wan, who had spread herself into a small meat patty, lay on a rattan chair in the courtyard and basked in the sun in boredom.
At this moment, Shadow Six walked over with a pot of orchids. Yu Wan stopped him. “Little Six, is there any news from Shadow Thirteen?
Shadow Thirteen was left in Lotus Flower Village to wait for Old Cui to concoct the antidote for Yan Jiuchao. Shadow Six’s eyes flashed and he said, “Ah, I don’t know where Old Cui went. He left a note saying that he’ll come back before you give birth! ”
Yu Wan was puzzled. “He’ll come back before I give birth? What about the
Fragrance of Hundred Miles in Yan Jiuchao’s body?”
Shadow Six said, “You can only make the antidote after you give birth!”
“Huh?” Yu Wan looked at him in confusion.
Yu Wan nodded. “These are two different things. That unreliable Old Cui! If I had known earlier, I would have asked him for the prescription and concocted the antidote myself!”
The medicinal primer was still in your stomach. What could you use to concoct it? Shadow Six did not dare to say this. However, at least it dispelled Young Madam’s suspicion, right?
Shadow Six felt that if Young Madam knew that he was not the Saintess and did not have the strongest strength in history, she would definitely be shocked. She was still immersed in the self-indulgence of “I actually have the bloodline of the Saintess. Why am I so strong, so powerful”. Shadow Six cleared his throat. “Ahem, um, I moved the orchids in.”
“Sigh—” Yu Wan felt that something was wrong.
“The Crown Princess Consort has been poisoned!” Shadow Six decisively threw out a heavy blow!
