Chapter 1362 - 1442: Just Thinking About It Makes Me Uncomfortable
Dong Huiying asked Liu Yan to enter the Capital to help her purchase materials for cultivating blood gu. When Liu Yan returned, she told her something: that there were rumors circulating recently that the Prime Minister was about to return. This Prime Minister is credited with aiding the ascent to the throne of the Eighth Princess, and was personally appointed by her.
Additionally, Liu Yan brought back another piece of news.
The situation of Prince Meng is very dire; he has been confined within the Prince Mansion. Both Yun Shuihan and her attendant Yun Long were poisoned by Dong Huiying, but the poison in their bodies was cured by Great Elder Yun Zhe from Medicine Valley.
Recently, Yun Shuihan has been sending people to search for Dong Huiying’s whereabouts, seemingly intending to capture her for revenge.
Upon learning this, Dong Huiying lifted her eyelid slightly: "My time is precious, I have no interest in dragging things out with her. Later, call Yun Ge for me. Although she seems to not want me to take action, Yun Shuihan, she’s someone who just makes me uncomfortable whenever I think of her."
Liu Yan glanced at Dong Huiying furtively, looking as though she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Dong Huiying squinted, "Speaking of which, after I left the Capital, Liu Yan, you and Hong Fei were with Yun Ge, right?"
Liu Yan shivered: "Forgive me, Sir, I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave!"
Tch, she actually fled in panic.
Dong Huiying felt a bit helpless.
After Dong Dabao left the Capital that year, exactly what happened? Why does everyone appear so secretive?
Dong Huiying pondered, silently questioning herself, could it be that Yun Ge lost an eye because of her? If not, why would she conceal it?
After thinking it over, she believed the likelihood was high. That person did not know her heart had changed, so treated her as the old Dong Dabao, fearing she would blame herself if she found out?
Dong Huiying sighed deeply; all the kindness received from a beauty is hard to bear. Truly, she is fortunate in love!
Su Lang has been quite idle recently.
After his change in temperament, Su Lang seemed possessed by Lao Si; his nature like that of Lao Si’s twin brother. He was equally silent, equally reticent, occasionally sitting and daydreaming.
One such day, Dong Huiying mixed some powdered medicine into water, then placed the blood gu larvae she had cultivated into the potion.
Haoming stood beside her, while Su Lang sat a short distance away.
He appeared to be contemplating something.
There was a time he was ’withdrawn,’ like an autistic child, not speaking, laughing, or moving about. During that period, Dong Huiying suspected Su Lang had suffered severe psychological trauma.
That was indeed the case, but the truth was, Su Lang was simply too despondent.
Despair had sapped his strength.
The reason he fell into the hands of quarry workers was that he wandered around aimlessly, like a beggar, and was captured into the quarry. He didn’t bother to resist, for living or dying was the same to him.
At first, he didn’t recognize Dong Huiying, and who would expect the Madam of the Liang Family to turn into an old lady? A nun?
But later, after spending time by Dong Huiying’s side, he understood, he came to know.
Recently, he has been pondering one thing.
Can he still exact his revenge?
When he initially came to the Capital, it was to seek an end, to avenge, yet was gravely injured by Qinghe, narrowly escaping alive, and henceforth, fell into despondency.
Qinghe, the Official Husband of the Eighth Princess, has the Royal Family’s backing, supported by the Eighth Princess, and his own skills far exceed his.
Had he not met Dong Huiying, perhaps he would never achieve revenge in a lifetime.
Too many are the pains and humiliations that man inflicted upon him, countless.
For instance, before encountering Liang Zhichen, he had been conscripted as a prostitute, serving as a plaything in the female soldier camp of the Xinsan Army. That period was truly a haunting memory.
