~ WHITE LIES ~
Ta Xue was squatting on the poisonous lady’s chest, its tail coiled in front of it. The tip of its tail was slightly moving. It glanced at her, then lifted its front paw and licked leisurely.
The poisonous lady turned her head stiffly, feeling her neck creak and rattle. She even forgot the hangover headache. She seemed to see the savior when she saw Mu Yunyao. “Quickly come and carry your sister away.”
“My sister said she wanted to be intimate with you.” Mu Yunyao tried hard to resist a smile, went forward to pick up Ta Xue, and rubbed her ear with her finger. “You only know how to bully the weak and fear the strong.”
The poisonous lady heaved a heavy sigh of relief. When she saw Jin Lan and Jin Qiao place a pile of medicinal ingredients on the table, she couldn’t help but widen her eyes. “Did you prepare all of these medicinal herbs?”
“Yeah, what’s wrong?”
The poisonous lady stood up and checked the ingredients one by one. “Some of the herbs here are very rare. You shouldn’t have gathered them in such a short time, right?”
“I started to make preparations after I saw you. Fortunately, Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo are ubiquitous, so it’s easy to find some herbs.”
The poisonous lady was silent for a moment. When she looked at Mu Yunyao, her eyes seemed slightly apprehensive. “Have I also regained my looks in my previous life?” After experiencing so much, she somewhat believed what Mu Yunyao had said about her in her previous life.
Mu Yunyao nodded with certainty. “You’ve recovered.”
The poisonous lady heaved a sigh of relief, then smiled: “That’s true. Those heartless people of the Han family have already been sent down to the underworld by me, and they are not worthy of being remembered in my heart. When I recover my appearance, I will head back to the Medicine Immortal Valley. By the way, did I return to Medicine Immortal Valley in my previous life?”
“Not only have you returned to Medicine Immortal Valley, but you’ve also found a new sweetheart. It took many years for the two of you to settle down. Later, you adopted a son and a daughter, who are exceptionally adorable. They also recognized me as the adoptive mother.” Mu Yunyao’s gaze carried a smile as if she was nostalgic.
The poisonous lady couldn’t help but tremble. She had never told Mu Yunyao that she couldn’t have children. Thus, when she heard her talk about adoption, she immediately believed her words. “You’re not lying to me, are you?”
“Why would I lie to you?” Mu Yunyao tidied up the ingredients one by one. “Quickly get up, wash up, and eat something. Then, you can start to deal with these medical materials. Your medical skills are better than mine, so I can only help on the side. If you need anything, say it, and I will try my best to help you prepare.”
“Alright then.”
Mu Yunyao smiled as she left the poisonous lady’s room. In her previous life, she died miserably, so she didn’t know what she would do in the end. But now that she believed what she had said in her previous life, she might as well plant a seed in her heart. When the spring rain comes down, it can break through the ground and grow up. It was better to go out and thrive than to immerse herself in the past, completely sealing herself away.
Sometimes, when a person is alive, they need others to help them. Now that she can pull the poisonous lady out of the dilemma, she will naturally do her best. Telling a few lies is nothing at all.
As soon as she returned to the side room, an attendant came forward to pass on a message. “Princess, the Imperial Concubine Zhen at the Chonghua Palace has made a fuss, saying that someone deliberately poisoned Jin Wang. Imperial Concubine Li and others rushed over. The Emperor has announced that you will go as well.”
Mu Yunyao nodded, “I understand.”
In Chonghua Palace, Imperial Concubine Zhen kneeled on the ground and burst into tears: “Your Majesty, even though Junjin has done all sorts of wrong, it has become like this now. The price is heavy enough, but there are still people who still can’t tolerate him. Do they have to force him to his death before stopping?”
Imperial Concubine Li frowned as she stood to the side. “Little Sister Concubine Zhen, I also feel sorry for His Royal Highness Jin, but no matter how much I feel for His Royal Highness, I can’t speak nonsense. The Palace is strictly guarded, and an imperial physician accompanies Jin Wang. Who would have the ability to poison him?”
Imperial Concubine Zhen raised her eyes and looked at Imperial Concubine Li without fear. “If it wasn’t for someone secretly harming him, could it be that Jin Wang found poison and swallowed it himself? Doesn’t Elder Sister Concubine Li feel chilled when she says this?”
The Emperor rubbed his glabella with a headache and said, “Alright, how noisy are you? Previously, the poisonous lady said this poison was called the Hundred Spirit Powder when detoxifying. The poison is so strong that it is rarely seen in Jianghu. How could it suddenly appear in the Palace?”
“Your Majesty, before Junjin’s accident, His Royal Highness Ling Wang came to visit him...”
“Imperial Concubine Zhen, you can’t speak carelessly,” Imperial Concubine Li rebuked angrily. “Ling Wang came to visit His Royal Highness Jing Wang because he cared for his brother. Why do you suspect he secretly poisoned His Royal Highness Jing Wang?”
“Elder Sister Imperial Concubine Li, we are all wise people. Ling Wang has despised Junjin since he was a child, played tricks on him a few times, and even pushed him into the pond in the winter. Now that the two have grown up, Ling Wang sees that he is not pleasing to the eye everywhere and has repeatedly suppressed him in court. He is not here to visit his brother at all, but he is here to add insult to injury!!”
Imperial Concubine Li abruptly took two steps forward, her aura becoming increasingly overwhelming. “If you have evidence, then take it out. If you do not have evidence, I will sentence you to a crime of falsification today!”
Imperial Concubine Zhen cried bitterly: “Your Majesty, please uphold justice for Junjin.”
When she walked in, Mu Yunyao heard these words and hurriedly lowered her eyes.
The Emperor frowned and said, “Shut up! I will investigate this matter properly. Both of you, go back. “
“Your Majesty, I want to take care of Junjin here. He finally rescued him. Who knows if someone will start secretly again?” As she spoke, she looked at Imperial Concubine Li as if she was referring to something.
Imperial Concubine Li arrogantly glanced at Jin Wang lying on the bed. Now that Jin Wang was utterly crippled, who would put him in their eyes?
As the atmosphere became tense, Jin Wang had a servant help him sit up and ask, “Is it Yunyao who is here?”
Mu Yunyao suddenly turned her head to look. After entering the door, she didn’t even have the time to greet him. How did Jin Wang discover this?
Imperial Concubine Zhen said in surprise, “Junjin, can you see now?”
Jin Wang shook his head. He had just recovered from the poison, so his face was paler than before. In the short span of a few days, he lost a lot of weight, his figure was slightly thinner, and he looked especially painful. “No, I just heard her footsteps.”
Imperial Concubine Zhen immediately covered her mouth and cried out. Jin Wang smiled and said, “Imperial Father, Imperial Concubine Li, Mother was just in so much pain that she spoke nonsense. That day, the Eldest Imperial Brother visited me but did not poison me. For my mother’s grief, please forgive her for being careless for a while.”
The Emperor’s expression softened slightly. “Junjin, you can recuperate with peace of mind. Imperial Father will investigate this matter thoroughly. In the future, an imperial physician will guard your side every day, and nothing like this will happen again.”
“Good.” Ning Junjin nodded happily, but Imperial Concubine Zhen disagreed. “Your majesty, this Concubine doesn’t trust the Imperial Physicians’ medical skills. Please have mercy on Junjin and have Princess Wenxian help him!”
