Murong Qiqi frowned. "Your Highness, according to what you've said, General Feng Xie and Princess Mingyue might not have committed suicide. To be able to get close to your food and poison you, it must be someone close to you, someone on our side! But why would someone on our side do such a thing? Who was the mastermind behind this? "
Murong Qiqi's questions hit the nail on the head. Feng Cang pinched her nose.
"Why are you more powerful than the constables? Everyone who was with my parents that day was killed, except for Cai Hua, the palace maid who had been with my mother for twenty years. She disappeared … "
So that's why! It really was someone close to me! Murong Qiqi was enlightened, but she had a new question to ask. "What about Cai Hua? Was she caught? Did she confess? Who is the mastermind? Why isn't this the case according to the rumors? "
Murong Qiqi tossed questions at Feng Cang one after another, making him feel overwhelmed. "I suspected it was Cai Hua too, but I couldn't find her after so many years. As for why the rumors turned out to be like that, it was because they found my parents' bodies in the burning ruins. My father committed suicide by caesarean section, and my mother was burnt to ashes. That's why they said that my father committed suicide because he was ashamed of Beizhou, and my mother killed herself to die for her husband … "
"So that's how it was …"
Murong Qiqi could imagine the tragedy from Feng Cang's words, and her grip on Feng Cang tightened. There were so many things that had happened here!
"Your Highness, did you tell the Emperor about your parents? Why didn't you ask the Emperor to find the murderer? "
"I fell seriously ill when I returned to the capital and have been recuperating in the residence. By the time I could stand up again, the Emperor had already announced the cause of my parents' death to the world. No one would believe the words of a ten-year-old child. Besides, this is my own matter, and I want to catch the murderer myself! "
That's right, Feng Cang was only ten at the time! He had to endure the death of his parents at the age of ten, as well as the cold poison and parasite poison. How much courage did he need to persevere?
"Your Highness, let bygones be bygones! From now on, I will be by your side, and accompany you in everything! " Murong Qiqi intertwined her fingers with Feng Cang's. "Let's avenge the general and Princess Mingyue and drag out the person hiding in the shadows!"
At this moment, Murong Qiqi was emanating a resolute radiance that caused Feng Cang to narrow his eyes. "Alright!" Feng Cang clenched his fists, and his gaze became firm …
Yongzhou was located in the southernmost part of the four northern prefectures, bordering Donglu, Nanfeng, and Xiqi. Recently, Yong Province had become very lively because of the Four Nation Youth Competition. Early in the morning, the governor of Yong State, Meng Tianqi, led a group of people to wait at the city gates. This was because today, the Southern Unicorn King, Feng Cang, would lead the Northern Zhou Kingdom's diplomatic group to arrive.
At noon, the convoy finally appeared. Meng Tianqi arrived outside Feng Cang's carriage and respectfully bowed. "This lowly official greets your highness!"
"Get up!" Through the curtain, Feng Cang's lazy voice revealed a trace of irresistible majesty.
"Thank you, Prince!" Meng Tianqi stood up and carefully looked at the carriage, "This lowly official has already followed Prince's orders and vacated Sweet Plum Garden as Prince and Zhao Yang Princess's temporary residence in Harmony Prefecture City. Prince, are you going to Sweet Plum Garden directly or to the magistrate office first? "
"Sweet Plum Garden."
"Yes!" Meng Tianqi retreated to the side. Only after the carriage had gone far away did he straighten his back that was slightly bent.
Sweet Plum Garden was an extremely quiet place. It was famous for the red plums that filled the garden. This time, it was Feng Cang and Murong Qiqi's residence.
The contestants were arranged to stay in a courtyard not far away. Without the eyesore of a butterfly, Murong Qiqi was in a good mood. She had been researching Feng Cang's illness with Jin Mo for the past few days. The cold poison was not hard to treat. The most important thing was to nurse it back to health. However, the Gu poison and cold poison in Feng Cang's body restricted each other. To treat these two, they could only wait until they found the Mother Gu and destroyed it. At the same time, they could remove the Gu poison and cold poison.
As for the Fetal Poison, Murong Qiqi found it tricky to treat. Murong Qiqi had never seen the Fetal Poison in Feng Cang's body before.
She knew many poisons in the Demon Domain, but she had never seen anything like it in Feng Cang's body. Logically speaking, her godfather had collected poisons from the four countries. The Demon Domain should be the world's largest poison database. However, she actually did not know what the Fetal Poison in Feng Cang's body was.
"Princess, do you have a clue?" Jin Mo had been interacting with Murong Qiqi frequently. Although he had acknowledged this junior sister because of his master and knew that Murong Qiqi was harmless to Feng Cang, he treated her much better. However, he was still very doubtful of Murong Qiqi's abilities.
It was only after he interacted with Murong Qiqi that she modified his prescription and gave him some suggestions. Only then did Jin Mo believe in his master's judgment. He also knew that this junior sister of his was truly capable. Thus, he treated Murong Qiqi kindly from the bottom of his heart.
"Senior Brother, this poison is a little strange. At least, I have never seen it before."
Murong Qiqi's words were within Jin Mo's expectations. Back then, when he was by his master's side, he had seen many poisons. However, he was helpless against the Fetal Poison and could only try his best to suppress it.
Jin Mo did not know that Murong Qiqi had stayed in the Demon Domain for five years. She was a poison expert herself. Her knowledge of poisons was even better than his. If Murong Qiqi could not recognize the poison now, they would be in big trouble.
"There are many folk prescriptions and unique poisons among the people. As long as we don't give up, we will be able to find the antidote. Please don't worry too much, Princess … "
"Thank you, Senior Brother!"
Murong Qiqi did not tell Jin Mo her identity as the Poison Fairy. Her godfather loved poison as much as his life. He loved to collect all kinds of poisons and poisons. Be it from the commoners or the royal palace, as long as he heard that something was related to poison, he would do everything he could to get his hands on it. There were at least nine hundred poisons in the Demon Domain.
Following by her godfather's side, Murong Qiqi was influenced by his teachings. As long as it was a poison in the Demon Domain, she would recognize it and be able to concoct the antidote. In other words, there was no poison in the four countries that could stop Murong Qiqi. If there was, then the poison did not come from this continent!
The question that lingered in Murong Qiqi's mind was where the Fetal Poison in Feng Cang's body came from. If it really came from outside, could it be related to Penglai Island? Penglai Island had never had much contact with the continent. They only had a marriage alliance with Donglu Country. Could this matter be related to Donglu Country?
