Chapter 1381 - 1465: Blunder and Humiliation
Yun Shuihan picked up a bunch of grapes, and from her face, it was really impossible to tell whether she was sad or happy. Her facial expressions were so lacking that, apart from her cold and proud fairy aura, nothing else was visible.
Yun Shuihan said, "Recently, someone has been contacting Qinghe Zhengjun. He suspects their intentions are not pure, so he asked me to help him make a poison pill. Similar to a truth serum, once taken, it can make people tell the truth."
Yun Long looked eagerly at Yun Shuihan, "Master, I want it too!"
Yun Shuihan looked at him blankly, "Haven’t I given it to you before? But you don’t like to use it, right?"
Yun Long felt a moment of guilt, "Times have changed."
His methods were far more terrifying than a truth serum. Under his hands, there were cases of tendon extraction and skin peeling, and those who successfully endured were truly too few.
Yun Shuihan didn’t dwell too much on this matter. She said seriously, "Fine, I’ll make an extra bottle while I’m at it."
Yun Long immediately broke into a happy smile, "Master, you’re so good!" Yun Shuihan looked puzzled. Where was she good? Why did Yun Long suddenly praise her? Forget it, if she couldn’t figure it out, she wouldn’t think about it, not wanting to waste extra brain cells.
"Did that close servant of Prince Meng confess?"
As soon as Yun Shuihan asked, Yun Long’s eyebrows danced with excitement.
"Confessed, confessed, Master! That person is quite peculiar and very guarded. She might have thought we were asking about other matters and was holding out stubbornly. Later, when she realized we were asking about Prince Meng, I discovered she seemed relieved. In short, I suspect this person is a spy placed near Prince Meng by someone else."
Yun Shuihan glanced at him, and Yun Long, ever alert, promptly got back to the point, "That old nun named ’Huixin,’ she’s disappeared! Too few in the Prince Mansion are aware of this..."
Yun Long recounted the story smoothly, but the news was worth so little.
Back then, Prince Meng brought Dong Huiying into the palace and later deliberately released a smoke screen, and what Yun Long extracted from that close servant’s mouth was exactly this smoke screen!
"I heard that old nun had a conflict with the Prince Mansion. The specifics are still unknown, but she poisoned several in the mansion and then escaped..."
Yun Shuihan recalled how she had been outwitted that day.
In the field of medicine, her expertise might not match Yun Ge’s. But in the arts of poison, she had always been quite confident.
Though she dared not claim to be the best in the world, she wasn’t far off. Yet on that day, that old nun dealt her a heavy blow.
In her life, Yun Shuihan couldn’t claim everything went as she wished, but being the daughter of Elder Yun Zhe of Medicine Valley, her life had been smooth until now. However, this matter with the nun named ’Huixin’ was undoubtedly one of her life’s blunders and one of her greatest shames!
Remembering all the symptoms from the poisoning and her father’s efforts to detoxify her, Yun Shuihan found herself disillusioned and melancholic.
"In any case, this person must be brought out!" Her countenance was composed, seemingly calm, but a murderous intent had already arisen within her.
Seeking redress for grievances, repaying enmity with enmity, how dared the other party poison her? If she didn’t return the favor, she truly couldn’t swallow this anger!
Yun Long licked his lips, speaking excitedly, "Master, rest assured! Even if it’s in every place, Long’er will definitely bring her out and present her before you!"
