Song Jiong was left behind by Ye Zhen, although he was unwilling. When he walked to the door, he found two unfamiliar faces blocking his way. After thinking for a while, he felt that he could not beat them, so he retreated.
He had forgotten that Lu Yaoyao was now not only the Empress of Jin Kingdom, but also the Heavenly Consort of Yuan Kingdom. It was normal for her to have a few powerful guards around her.
Duanmu Ya was soon brought in.
"Why are you looking for me? I'm still busy. " Duanmu Ya grumbled. He still wanted to study the poisoned man. It was rare to have a ready-made person for him to study. Maybe he could find the formula.
Ye Zhen looked at him coldly, sending a chill down Duanmu Ya's spine. He did not dare to say another word.
"Duanmu Ya, where did you get the Poisonous Pill?" Ye Zhen asked coldly. With the passage of time, she had gradually developed a dignified aura. Even if it was not as intimidating as Mo Rongzhan's, it was enough to suppress others.
"Someone sent it to Medicine King Valley." Duanmu Ya asked doubtfully. Didn't he say it already?
"Was it Lu Lingzhi?" Ye Zhen did not want to beat around the bush with Duanmu Ya and directly pointed Lu Lingzhi out.
Duanmu Ya was stunned, then chuckled. "Impossible! I know Lu Lingzhi the best. If he had this kind of ability, he wouldn't have been injured so badly in Anhe City and even destroyed his body. "
"Destroyed body, but still alive." Ye Zhen said coldly, "This Poisonous Pill was spread by the Thousand-hand Spider. Lu Lingzhi is the person behind the Thousand-hand Spider. Do you think I will believe you if you say that this matter has nothing to do with him?"
"What?" Lu Lingzhi and the Thousand-hand Spider? That's impossible! Duanmu Ya had heard of the evil sect, the Thousand-hand Spider, which was even more ruthless than Qian Luosha. How could Lu Lingzhi … "Your Highness, I've never heard Lu Lingzhi mention the Thousand-hand Spider. I always thought that he was just working for Imperial Consort Lu of Qi."
Yes, that's impossible! But looking at the Empress's expression, she did not seem to be joking. It was true!
He thought he knew Lu Lingzhi like the back of his hand, but it turned out that he knew nothing.
"This consort will ask you again. Where is Lu Lingzhi?" Ye Zhen didn't believe that Duanmu Ya really didn't know anything. Perhaps he didn't know the relationship between Lu Lingzhi and the Thousand-hand Spider, but Lu Lingzhi had seen Duanmu Ya before he disappeared. He must know something.
Duanmu Ya was really about to cry, "Your Highness, if I knew where Lu Lingzhi was, I would have told Tingzhi long ago. Back then, I saved him in Anhe City. His body was already broken, and I managed to keep him alive after much difficulty. I told him that it would be difficult for him to have children in the future. After that, Lu Lingzhi left the Medicine King Valley and went to the Capital City to bid farewell to Tingzhi and the others. I never saw him again."
Ye Zhen took a deep breath. Duanmu Ya did not look like he was lying.
"Your Highness, if I know where he is, I will definitely tell you." Duanmu Ya said, "I really don't know about his relationship with the Thousand-handed Spider, but if that's really the case … then it's possible that he was the one who sent the Toxic Pill to the Valley of the Medicine Masters. What … what does he want to do?"
She also wanted to know what Lu Lingzhi wanted to do!
If he was the one who made the Toxic Pill, then he should know the formula. If he sent the Toxic Pill to the Valley of the Medicine Masters, wasn't he afraid that Duanmu Ya would develop an antidote?
Or perhaps, he wanted the antidote in the first place?
"The Toxic Pill might not have been made by Lu Lingzhi." Song Jiong said, "The Pavilion Master said that the real culprit was not the Thousand-handed Spider, but just a pawn being used. But as for who it was, we haven't found out yet."
Who could it be? Ye Zhen was not familiar with the Jianghu, so she naturally couldn't guess. But even Mo Rongzhan and Murong Ke didn't know, which was enough to show how deep this person was hiding.
Ye Zhen looked deeply at Duanmu Ya. She still felt that he was hiding something, but since he refused to say it, she wouldn't force him. He would tell her sooner or later.
Duanmu Ya looked calm on the surface and let Ye Zhen look at him. In fact, his heart was already in turmoil. He really didn't know that Lu Lingzhi had a relationship with the Thousand-handed Spider. Now, even if he told her everything he knew, the Empress would not believe that he didn't know what Lu Lingzhi looked like.
He had to find Lu Lingzhi first.
"You go first." Ye Zhen let Duanmu Ya go.
Duanmu Ya asked cautiously, "Your Highness, I … Can I still stay with Marquis Jingning?"
He really wanted to know if the poison of the Toxic Pill could be cured. He heard that no one in the entire Jianghu could cure this disease.
"Go." Ye Zhen knew that Duanmu Ya's medical skills were above Judge Gong. It was naturally the best for him to stay with Tang Zhen.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Duanmu Ya was overjoyed. He saluted happily and retreated.
Only Ye Zhen and Song Jiong were left in the room.
"What did you say to the Emperor?" Ye Zhen looked at Song Jiong faintly. Mo Rongzhan left the poisoned Tang Zhen and left the city without waiting for her return. Song Jiong must have told him something.
"What can I say? The Emperor asked about the whereabouts of the Pavilion Master. I said that the Pavilion Master planned to find out the truth himself. The Emperor asked about the Toxic Pill and left the capital with his people. I didn't say anything else." Song Jiong said.
"The Sixth Wangye wants to find out the truth himself? How does he want to find out the truth? "Ye Zhen looked at Song Jiong and asked in a deep voice.
Song Jiong froze for a moment. "I don't know … The Pavilion Master didn't say."
Ye Zhen remembered that Murong Ke had been bitten all over his body because of her. She closed her eyes. Even if Song Jiong didn't say it, she could probably guess what Murong Ke was going to do.
If she could guess it, how could Mo Rongzhan not guess it? This was the reason why he rushed out of the capital in the middle of the night.
Although she knew that Mo Rongzhan's martial arts were excellent, Ye Zhen still couldn't help but worry about him.
"I know." Ye Zhen said faintly, "Sixth Wangye … Is there anything else?"
"He just wanted me to see you. If you live well, he will be fine." Song Jiong said with some resentment.
Ye Zhen felt a burst of sourness in her heart. "These years, you have been at sea? Where have you been? "
"After you left, the Pavilion Master sent people to inquire about your whereabouts. After we went to sea, we learned that you were in the Atlantic Ocean for half a year. When we arrived in China, we learned that you had returned." Song Jiong said faintly. Although he was distressed that the Pavilion Master's infatuation could not be reciprocated, he really couldn't blame Lu Yaoyao.
Mo Rongzhan wasn't that bad after all.
Ye Zhen was surprised. "You have been to China? Then … Have you seen my family? "
"Greetings, Lord Ye," Song Jiong said. "Otherwise, how would I know that you have returned?"
"Since you are back, Sixth Wangye … Why didn't you return to the capital?" Ye Zhen sighed. She and Mo Rongzhan had sent people to find him. Murong Ke was well-informed, so he should know.
