Counting carefully, Han Yunxi had been kidnapped by Jun Yi Xie three times, and each time was extremely dangerous.
At this time, this person was at the door. The more Gu looked at Han Yunxi, the more he felt that this woman was bold. He didn't know where she got the courage to ask Jun Yi Xie face to face for the antidote.
"Dong, dong, dong." The knocking on the door was neither fast nor slow, and it was orderly. It could be seen that the person knocking on the door was very calm.
"I'll open the door."
Gu was about to get up, but Han Yunxi stopped him. "What's the hurry? I'll go."
Gu shrugged and gestured for her to open the door. Unexpectedly, Han Yunxi didn't open the door immediately. Instead, she slowly chewed and swallowed the pastry in her hand before getting up.
Compared to the knocking on the door, Han Yunxi's rhythm was more calm and unhurried.
Gu couldn't help but shake his head. The smile on the corner of his mouth revealed endless doting.
Han Yunxi didn't hesitate and directly opened the door. Although she was fully prepared, the person outside the door still made her suck in a breath of cold air.
She guessed that Jun Yi Xie would come alone, but she didn't expect that he would show his real face.
This domineering face exuded the aura of a wild king. Han Yunxi had only caught a glimpse of it before, but she would never forget it.
Last time, she didn't see wrong. There was a blood-red eyebrow nail embedded in the corner of his right eyebrow. Under the cover of his fine bangs, she couldn't see what kind of totem it was. It was mysterious and full of wildness.
At this time, the two stood facing each other with only a threshold between them. Other than facing Long Fei Ye, this was the first time Han Yunxi felt such a strong aura.
Jun Yi Xie looked at Han Yunxi from head to toe. He was extremely presumptuous and did not try to hide anything. Han Yunxi did not back down and bravely looked back at him. After a few inadvertent eye contact, Jun Yi Xie's gaze became even more domineering and invasive. Han Yunxi's eyes were bright and clear as she returned his gaze. She did not know that her aura at this moment was actually not weaker than the man in front of her.
The two of them were silent, and the whole world seemed to have quieted down. The atmosphere was tense. Behind Han Yunxi, Gu had already grasped the hilt of his sword. Danger was imminent!
However, Han Yunxi suddenly smiled. "It is my honor to have Your Highness Duke Kang grace me with his presence."
"It is my honor to receive Qin Wangfei's invitation," Jun Yi Xie quickly responded. Even when he smiled, he looked like a demon, without any hint of a smile.
"Please." Han Yunxi was natural and unrestrained, and her smile was especially beautiful.
She had calculated that when she took the initiative to invite him, Jun Yi Xie was still a man and the dignified Duke of Northern Li. He still had some magnanimity. He would not refuse the invitation, nor would he take the opportunity to kidnap her.
Jun Yi Xie strode in and glanced at Gu from the corner of his eyes. He did not take him seriously.
Even though he was here, he still wanted to kidnap Han Yunxi. This woman was really too useful to him!
However, he would not do that. This woman dared to disregard former enmity and take the initiative to invite him. If he did not have the magnanimity to take the opportunity to kidnap her, wouldn't he be worse than a woman?
"Your Highness Duke Kang, I think you also know why I invited you." Han Yunxi went straight to the point. Long Tianmo's life was in danger, and there were only two days left until the bet. She did not have much time to waste here.
Jun Yi Xie had poisoned Long Tianmo and sent him back to Medical City. Wasn't he the one who wanted to make things difficult for her?
Unexpectedly, Jun Yi Xie was not happy at all. He sat down at the tea table and leisurely brewed tea. "This Duke does not know."
He had always been straightforward and did not like to dawdle. However, this time, he was facing Han Yunxi. It was rare for him to have the patience to slowly chat.
Han Yunxi hated this kind of pretense the most. Seeing that Jun Yi Xie was leisurely pouring tea, she pressed down on the teacup and said very directly, "Duke Kang, the poison in Long Tianmo's body is concentrated in the joints of his body. This poison was cultivated in Medicine City's poison pool, correct?"
As soon as she said this, a trace of surprise flashed through Jun Yi Xie's eyes.
He knew of Han Yunxi's abilities. It was normal for this woman to be able to find out that Long Tianmo's poison was concentrated in his joints. However, how could she be so sure that the poison was cultivated in Medicine City's poison pool?
Although he was surprised, Jun Yi Xie was determined to waste time here with Han Yunxi. He frowned slightly, "Qin Wangfei, this Duke does not understand what you are saying."
Does not understand?
Han Yunxi hated this kind of meaningless hypocrisy. Wasn't it boring?
She slowly narrowed her eyes and directly threw out a heavy bomb, "Your Highness Duke Kang, what do you think of exchanging Long Tianmo's life for a bottle of poison pool water?"
As soon as these words came out, Jun Yi Xie could not hold back at all. He abruptly raised his eyes to look at her, a sharp light shooting out from his eyes. It was clear that he was shocked.
But speaking of which, anyone who knew about the poison pool in Medicine City's Medicine Forest would be shocked to hear Han Yunxi's words. It had to be known that even now, the three great clans of Medicine City still did not understand how such a large pool of poison water had disappeared.
That night, although Jun Yi Xie was injured and left first, the Mu Clan was still present. That large pool of poison water had indeed disappeared into thin air. Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi did not have the chance to touch the poison pool.
How could this woman have poison pool water?
The value of poison pool water lay in the fact that it could be used to cultivate new poisonous creatures. The reason why Jun Yi Xie was able to cultivate the Hundred Leaf Purple Jade Grass (Bone Poison) was because he had a small cup of poison pool water on hand.
How much poison water did this woman have on hand?
"Han Yunxi, the disappearance of Medicine City's poison pool … is related to you?" Jun Yi Xie probed.
"Something that disappeared into thin air, Your Highness Duke Kang must not slander me. Medicine City is not something I can afford to offend, "Han Yunxi replied seriously.
"How could you have poison pool water?" Jun Yi Xie pressed.
"Your Highness Duke Kang was able to cultivate that poison, so you must also have poison pool water. In that case, the disappearance of the poison pool water is also related to you?"
Han Yunxi blinked her eyes and asked seriously. That innocent expression of hers was enough to make one anxious to death. Gu, who had been listening from the side, couldn't help but rub his chin.
Medicine City's poison pool water?
So this woman had such a valuable bargaining chip in her hands. No wonder she had the confidence to meet with Jun Yi Xie! Originally, Han Yunxi had a request to make of Jun Yi Xie, but now it seemed that Jun Yi Xie had a request to make of Han Yunxi.
Jun Yi Xie was rendered speechless by Han Yunxi's rhetorical question. He finally stopped beating around the bush and asked seriously, "How can I be sure that you really have poison pool water in your hands?"
As soon as she heard this, Han Yunxi knew that Jun Yi Xie was moved. There was hope in this deal!
This time, Han Yunxi was no longer anxious with Jun Yi Xie. She sat back down and imitated Jun Yi Xie's earlier demeanor, calmly pouring tea. After finishing the cup of tea, she took out a poison pill from her sleeve and tossed it to Jun Yi Xie. "I cultivated this. I call it 'Bone Poison'."
As soon as Jun Yi Xie caught the Bone Poison, he was certain that it was the Hundred Leaf Purple Jade Grass that he had cultivated. Its composition and toxicity were exactly the same, only its appearance was different.
Without poison pool water and those specific medicinal herbs, it was absolutely impossible to cultivate this type of poison!
Han Yunxi definitely had poison pool water in her hands, as well as the medicinal herbs that he had spent great effort to collect.
No matter how this woman got her hands on those things, she had them!
"Tianning's crown prince's life isn't only worth a single bottle of poison, is it?" Jun Yi Xie laughed coldly.
Han Yunxi wasn't planning to back down. Her expression was helpless. "Aye, I only have one bottle on hand. I can only inconvenience His Highness Crown Prince by lowering his status."
These words were simply meant to confuse the public. Jun Yi Xie had no way to tell the truth, much less guess how Han Yunxi had gotten her hands on the poison pool water.
Of course, Jun Yi Xie wasn't someone easy to deal with. Despite the chaos in his heart, his expression was as steady as Mt. Tai. "How could the stately heir apparent of Tianning lower his status? The prestige of Tianning's imperial clan is much more valuable than a person's life."
Jun Yi Xie was right. Long Tianmo's tragedy was that his title as crown prince was more important than his life.
Being bedridden for so long had cost him half of his youth and half of his chances. Now that he'd recovered, he'd become Emperor Tianhui's chess piece.
Han Yunxi's thoughts wandered. She couldn't imagine how Long Tianmo would treat his father and ruler, Emperor Tianhui, after he recovered from his illness.
"In other words, we can't make a deal?" Gu interjected.
Jun Yi Xie glanced at him without replying, but rose to his feet with the intention of leaving.
No matter how precious the poison pond water was, a single bottle wasn't worth Long Tianmo's life. In this situation, it was time for Han Yunxi to increase her bargaining chip, but she actually rose to her feet with a smile. "How regretful, Your Highness Duke of Kang. If there's a chance, we'll meet again next time."
Jun Yi Xie's heart gave a start, but he refused to believe that Han Yunxi would give up just like that. If she couldn't save Jun Yi Xie, she'd be in big trouble.
"See you again!" Jun Yi Xie cupped his fists and bowed before turning to leave.
Seeing this, Han Yunxi remained unmoved, as steady as Mount Tai. Gu leaned on one side, stroking his chin as he silently counted Jun Yi Xie's footsteps.
Jun Yi Xie reached the door, his lips quirked up into a Cold, sinister smile. He stopped and said Icily, "Qin Wangfei, your lordship has brought the antidote. Where's the poison pool water?"
"One thing for one thing. Where's the antidote?" Han Yunxi kept her guard up, unwilling to suffer any losses.
Jun Yi Xie finally turned around and took out an antidote pill from his sleeve. At the same time, Han Yunxi took out a bottle of poison pool water as well.
Seeing this, Gu quickly murmured, "Wait, let's get him half of it first to see if it's real or fake before exchanging!"
However, Han Yunxi didn't seem to hear him. She stared at the antidote in Jun Yi Xie's hand, her brows slightly furrowed as she concentrated on it.
"Qin Wangfei, can we exchange now?"
Jun Yi Xie held the antidote and walked over step by step. Han Yunxi suddenly retreated and shouted angrily, "Jun Yi Xie, your antidote is fake! That's the antidote for the thousand osmanthus grass! You're shameless! "
With these words, Jun Yi Xie stopped in his tracks. He was once again shocked by Han Yunxi. He hadn't concocted the antidote yet, so the pill in his hand was obviously fake. However, Han Yunxi was watching from afar, so how did she know? She could actually accurately identify the antidote for the poison.
This woman … was too scary!
Gu was also shocked by Han Yunxi's ability. However, he quickly regained his senses and stepped forward to protect Han Yunxi behind him, distancing herself from Jun Yi Xie.
"Kang Wang, are you still a man for deceiving a woman like this?" Gu mocked disdainfully.
Jun Yi Xie's face alternated between red and white. However, he quickly ignored the last trace of awkwardness in his heart and coldly said, "Han Yunxi, tell this prince where this poison pond water came from. This time, this prince won't make things difficult for you."
"Where's the antidote?" Han Yunxi angrily asked. This was the question she was most concerned about. The reason she had no choice but to take this risk was also for the sake of the antidote!
However, Jun Yi Xie gave her a despairing answer, "The antidote hasn't appeared yet. This prince wants Long Tianmo … to die in Medical City!"
