At this moment, the cloaked man’s subordinate still did not know that he had left a flaw in his whereabouts. If he had asked about Han Jingshu’s arrangements before coming to the Full Moon Pavilion, he probably would not have chosen the event location to be in the small garden.
However, they were not far from knowing their flaws.
That night, Yan Huaijing went to the Full Moon Pavilion.
“Your Highness.” The cloaked man nodded slightly and bowed not very solemnly.
The cloaked man was the otherworldly expert Yan Huaijing had met in Nanzhao. Back then, he had paid a huge price to invite the other party into the world. Therefore, Yan Huaijing valued the other party more than ordinary people could imagine.
It would even be an exaggeration to say that Yan Huaijing was praising the other party, afraid that he would not assist him if the other party was unhappy.
“It’s so late. Why is His Highness the Crown Prince looking for me?” The cloaked man asked calmly. “Your Highness, please sit.” He pointed to the chair in front of him.
Yan Huaijing did not sit down. Instead, he said with a solemn expression, “To be honest, I had no choice but to disturb you so late at night.”
“Oh? Did Your Highness encounter something troubling?” The cloaked man asked patiently.
Yan Huaijing let out a long sigh. “An assassin came to the manor and poisoned the Crown Princess Consort. The imperial physician can’t resolve the Crown Princess Consort’s Gu. I know that you have a Gu Master under you. Please let the Gu Master take a look at the Crown Princess Consort and see if he can resolve the Crown Princess Consort’s Gu.”
The subordinate glanced at the cloaked man imperceptibly.
The cloaked man was as steady as Mount Tai, and there was no guilt or panic on his face. He said, “I don’t have any Gu Masters under me, only a Gu Lady. The Gu worm I gave you back then came from her. She can indeed refine and control some Gu worms herself, but to resolve the Gu worm… that depends on what Gu it is. I’m not sure she can definitely resolve it, Lie Feng.”
The subordinate walked forward and bowed to the cloaked man. “Master.”
The cloaked man instructed, “Call Yi Man over and let her take a look at the
Crown Princess Consort.”
“Yes!” Lie Feng left the room without looking sideways and called a woman in green into the room.
Yan Huaijing had seen this woman before. She did not say much and kept a low profile. He thought that she was just an ordinary maidservant, but he did not expect her to be a hidden Gu Lady.
Yan Huaijing brought the woman called Yi Man to Han Jingshu’s room. After the woman treated Han Jingshu, she shook her head regretfully. “I’m sorry, Your Highness. This Gu is a very powerful Southern Xinjiang poison Gu. If my master is around, she might have a chance of survival, but I can’t resolve it.”
“Then your master…” Yan Huaijing didn’t finish his sentence. He only looked at the woman steadily, as if he was placing all his hopes on what she might say next.
The woman sighed. “My master has already passed away. Please find someone else, Your Highness.”
Yan Huaijing felt like the sky had collapsed. This was the first time that Yan Huaijing had asked the cloaked man for help but did not receive a proper solution. Wasn’t that senior resourceful? Why couldn’t he even resolve a Gu?
Of course, although he complained, Yan Huaijing did not really blame everything on the other party. There were specialties in every field. That expert was good at cultivation techniques and military skills. Even if Zhuge Kongming crawled out of his grave, he was helpless against the Gu poison.
After the woman left, Yan Huaijing fell into deep helplessness.
After all, she was his woman. It was not entirely true that he did not have any feelings. As a man, he had the obligation to protect his wife. Moreover, Han Jingshu was impeccable as a wife and daughter-in-law. He needed such a woman to be his Princess Consort.
He did not want to see Han Jingshu die.
. And he did not want to lose the help of the Prime Minister Manor.
“The people from the Prime Minister Manor should be here soon, right?” Yan Huaijing stood at the door and muttered as he looked at the endless night.
Jun Chang’an suddenly said, ‘Your Highness, there’s something I don’t know if I should say.”
“Go ahead,” Yan Huaijing said. At this point, there was nothing more unlucky.
Jun Chang’an pondered and said, “Our manor has always been heavily guarded. Even if the other party is skilled and can barge in, he shouldn’t know the terrain of the manor like the back of his hand. From the fact that he chose to kill Her Highness in the small garden, he has a very clear understanding of the Crown Princess Consort’s residence, the Crown Princess Consort’s habits, and even the terrain of the small garden.”
Yan Huaijing frowned suspiciously.. “What are you trying to say?”
