"No wonder you stayed in the palace for so long, but you were helpless against that person. It turns out that you were poisoned!”
The moonlight shone on Bai Yifei's face, making his pale face look even paler. From afar, he exuded a cold aura, like a cold-blooded creature.
However, at this moment, his words carried an obvious teasing tone.
"Cousin!"
Madam Mingzhu understood the meaning behind Bai Yifei's words and was a little unhappy.
What did he mean?
After knowing that I was poisoned, he actually gloated.
Why didn't she realize that her cousin had such a bad taste?
Bai Yifei was indeed intrigued. After he returned and discussed with Ji Wuye about how to deal with Su Xuan, Ji Wuye had vaguely mentioned to him that his cousin, Madam Mingzhu, had openly agreed to his request.
At first, Baiyifei thought that his cousin did not want to complete the task given by Ji Wuye.
Now that he knew the truth, he was surprised and felt that it was quite interesting.
It wasn't that his cousin was obeying him on the surface, but that she had been poisoned and had no choice but to be controlled by others. That was why she hadn't made a move on Su Xuan.
His cousin, who was proficient in the art of Gu healing, was restrained by poison. He really did not know what to say.
Should he say that his cousin was careless, or scold her for not learning enough?
If it were someone like Bai Feng, Baiyifei would have reprimanded him without hesitation. However, the person in front of him was his beautiful cousin. In the end, he chose to forgive her.
"Give me your hand!"
Baiyifei stopped teasing Madam Mingzhu.
Madam Ming Zhu hurriedly extended her arm.
Bai Yifei grabbed Madam Mingzhu's wrist and felt her pulse. A cold inner force surged into Madam Mingzhu's body along with his command. He carefully sensed the condition of Madam Mingzhu's body, trying to find the poison in her body.
However, after a long time, he could not sense anything.
He raised his eyebrows." Are you sure you were poisoned?”
"What's wrong? Does cousin think I'm lying?" Madam Ming Zhu looked a little aggrieved and immediately told him the symptoms after she was poisoned.
Bai Yifei's brows relaxed." According to you, the poison you've been poisoned with is very similar to the gu.”
"That's right, it's because it's very similar to a gu that I can't cure this poison. That's why I'm counting on cousin to help me get rid of that person's restraint.”Madam Mingzhu said to Bai Yifei.
"Could it be that Cousin has no way to help remove the poison in his body?”
She lowered her eyes and looked like she was about to cry.
Bai Yifei was stunned. Could he say that he had not found anything after the examination?
Either Madam Ming Zhu was not poisoned at all, or the poison she was poisoned with was extraordinary and could not be detected by ordinary means.
He knew very well what kind of person his cousin was. If she had not been poisoned, she would have found out sooner or later. Therefore, it could only be the latter.
The world was vast, and there were many people who knew medicine and poison. There were always some strange poisons that were difficult to detect with conventional methods.
In particular, the person who poisoned him was the same person. It was very consistent with the various methods that the other party had displayed.
Although Bai Yifei had yet to meet Su Xuan after returning to the imperial court, he was already extremely curious about him.
Bai Yifei did not continue thinking about Su Xuan. He answered his cousin's question first," The poison in your body is quite troublesome. Even I would not be able to get rid of it easily.”
"However, according to what you said earlier, that person has the antidote. We just need to force that person to hand over the antidote.”
"What if he's unwilling?" Madam Ming Zhu asked.
"That's not up to him!" Baiyifei's voice was cold.
……
The return of the Blood Strike Marquis.
Han Fei and the others in the Purple Orchid Pavilion chatted and drank every day. They had no choice but to drink, because Han Fei was not an official.
Earlier, he saw an opportunity in the case of the ghost soldiers robbing the grain. He had expected Ji Wuye to recommend Zhang Kedi to investigate the case. As long as Zhang Kedi couldn't solve the case, he could choose to help and then seize the position of a bandit.
However, King Han's decision to let Su Xuan investigate the case was beyond his expectations.
After missing that opportunity, Han Fei had been trying to find a way to get an official position for himself.
He had thought it through very clearly.
If he wanted to change the Han Country, it was impossible to do it with just a commoner's body. Although he was a prince, as long as he did not have an official position, he would still not be able to participate in the decision-making of the court.
At the same time, after the Blood Strike Marquis returned, he had been paying close attention to his movements.
Earlier, Ji Wuye had suffered several setbacks. Now that Bai Yifei had returned, it was obvious that he wouldn't let it go. However, what surprised Han Fei was that Ji Wuye and the Blood-robed Marquis hadn't taken revenge on Su Xuan yet.
He did not let his guard down.
On the contrary, he felt that a storm was coming.
The Jade Tiger's identity was extraordinary. Since Su Xuan had crippled the Jade Tiger, Ji Wuye's revenge would definitely not be that simple.
Until this day.
Flames soared into the sky.
No one knew where the fire had started. Screams echoed in Xin Zheng City. Countless people who had suffered in the fire cried for help in despair. The atmosphere of fear pervaded the air, adding a bit of strangeness to the night.
In the General's Mansion, Ji Wuye held a wine glass and looked out of the window. The flames soared into the sky. Even though he was in the General's Mansion, he could still guess what was happening outside.
"The hatred that has been suppressed for more than ten years has not disappointed us.”
It's lonely at the top.
On top of a tall building, the blood-robed Marquis Bai Yifei was dressed in a striking red robe. He held a bronze goblet in each hand and looked down at the dazzling flames of Xin Zheng City with a relaxed expression.
A strange smile appeared on his face as he thought of something. He lowered his head and looked at the copper goblet in his hand. Inside the goblet, a red liquid that was either wine or blood swayed slightly with his arm. A shadow that looked like a dragon and snake lingered inside.
The shadow came from the sky.
A black dragon-snake was writhing in the dark clouds.
"From today onwards, fear will rule this city.”
……
"What is it? Are the remnant people of the Bai Yue rebelling?"
There was a fire in the city, so they naturally had to demand an explanation.
The next day, when King Han heard Ji Wuye's words, he was furious.
Especially when he knew that the fire last night might have been set by the survivors of the Baiyue.
Ji Wuye knelt on one knee and raised his hands.""Forgive me for my incompetence, perhaps it was because the army did not wipe them out back then. There are still those who managed to escape."
When King Han heard Ji Wuye's words, he did not answer immediately. Instead, he fell into deep thought. After a long time, he lowered his head and looked at Ji Wuye."The capital has always been guarded by your army. Now that such a disaster has occurred, how do you explain it?”
Ji Wuye frowned slightly as if he was dissatisfied with King Han's attitude, but he did not express it in the end. He said calmly,""To deal with ordinary troubles, the army is indeed useful.”
"However, in this chaos, they used witchcraft. I'm afraid that ordinary soldiers can't resist them.”
"Witchcraft?" King Han raised his eyebrows. He was obviously curious about Ji Wuye's words.
Ji Wuye looked up and said," There are many fires in the city. The fires spread for days and didn't extinguish. They even grew stronger when they met water. Only Baiyue sorcerers use such sorcery." Judging from the scale of the chaos, there were probably people who knew the art of war organizing it.”
"Then according to your words, what should we do?”
"Mr. Su Xuan is very resourceful. Perhaps he has a way to deal with this group of Bai Yue Magi!”
