Mu Ling'er had already ground the Panoptic Red Lotus into a convenient powder and placed it in a small porcelain bottle.
Mu Ling'er had suffered so much to find this thing, but Gu took it for granted and didn't show any gratitude. He really didn't have any conscience!
However, Mu Ling'er wanted him to be this impolite. If he said thanks, she would feel distant.
Love was nothing more than being willing to do it.
"Qi Brother, we only have the Bear chuan left. Let's go steal it from the Hundred Poisons Sect! " Mu Ling'er's big watery eyes looked shifty. After a few months of torment, she had lost a lot of weight, but her spirit was very good.
"Steal? Would this young master do such a thing? "Gu was very disdainful.
"Hehe, Qi Brother, do you have a good plan?" Mu Ling'er laughed even more mischievously.
"Find Jun Yi Xie." Gu said very casually.
The enemy of a friend was his enemy, and the enemy of an enemy was his friend.
Jun Yi Xie was Han Yunxi's enemy, so Jun Yi Xie was also his enemy. However, Jun Yi Xie was also Long Fei Ye's enemy, so Jun Yi Xie was also his friend.
Although he also looked down on Jun Yi Xie, in summary, he and Jun Yi Xie could be considered as both enemies and friends.
He didn't know if Han Yunxi would despise Gu if she knew his convoluted theory.
In short, the moment Gu knew that the Bear chuan was in Jun Yi Xie's hands, he planned his plan.
With the medicine in hand, it would be easy to trick Long Fei Ye. He could give the opportunity to trick Long Fei Ye to Jun Yi Xie, but the condition was that he wanted the Bear chuan!
"Are we going to Northern Li?" Mu Ling'er asked hurriedly. She didn't know about Gu's dark thoughts. She only cared about where to go with Qi Brother.
Gu rubbed his chin. He and Mu Ling 'er had been hiding in the Mu Family's medicinal herb storehouse for a period of time. It could be said that they were completely oblivious to the outside world and were only focused on finding the Mi Tianhong!
He did not know that Jun Yi Xie was trapped on Fishery Island, nor did he know the real reason why Jun Yi Xie was trapped on Fishery Island. He thought that if Jun Yi Xie was not at the Hundred Poisons Sect, then he must be in the capital of Northern Li.
After putting away the Panoptic Red Lotus, Gu said, "Let's go and have a drink before asking around!"
Mu Ling'er was overjoyed. "Alright, let's get drunk!"
As soon as they left the Mu Clan's medicinal herb storehouse, Gu heard the news that Northern Li's Duke of Kang had been besieged by Tianning's Duke of Qin on Fishery Island. The two countries were on the verge of war.
Mu Ling'er was so drunk that she fell asleep on the dining table. Gu leaned against the window and rubbed his chin, completely sober.
"Is the Long Fei Ye really going to war just to steal the fish?" he muttered to himself.
"Master, I heard that Tianning's entire navy went over with thousands of archers. Northern Li's imperial clan even hired numerous martial arts experts in secret, but none of them managed to save the fish," an attendant reported in a low voice.
"What good will it do the Long Fei Ye if the two countries go to war?" Gu had never cared about the affairs of the imperial court, but he could tell that Long Fei Ye's provocation of Northern Li didn't make sense.
"Master, why don't this subordinate go ask around again?" the attendant asked.
"Let's go to Northern Li's capital and get some information," Gu said, a shrewd look in his eyes. "Could it be that there's some sort of treasure on Fishery Island?"
"Master, why don't you go there yourself?" the attendant asked cautiously.
Gu rolled his eyes at him. "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you'll never be defeated. Do you understand?"
Cooperating with Jun Yi Xie was like asking a tiger for its skin. He had to be careful with every step. If he didn't get a clear picture of the situation, how the hell was he supposed to cooperate with him?
The attendant didn't dare ask any more questions, but left with his tail between his legs.
"Aiyaya …"
Gu sighed softly. Those who didn't know him would be captivated by the sight of such a beautiful man sighing.
Those who knew him would feel their hairs stand on end. Those devilish eyes of his were clearly plotting something again.
He had to figure out the situation before acting. Long Fei Ye had trapped Jun Yi Xie. For him, this was the perfect opportunity to negotiate with Jun Yi Xie.
Gu sat on the windowsill with his arms resting on his knees. He looked casual and carefree. His red robe was like fire, and his hair was as black as ink. Under the moonlight, his face alone was as beautiful as a celestial being.
Mu Ling'er had started to murmur beside him. "Qi Brother … Qi Brother … let's stay together forever, okay?"
Unfortunately, Gu turned a deaf ear to her. He looked at the bright moon in the sky with a wicked smile on his face.
Gu was waiting for news. On Fishery Island, Jun Yi Xie was feeling melancholy!
He had been waiting for Northern Li's imperial clan to rescue him this entire time, but there was still no news after a month.
He was certain that the Northern Dynasties Emperors would save him and even send troops to threaten Tianning so that Emperor Tianhui would put pressure on Long Fei Ye. But the Ning navy hadn't moved a muscle yet.
Even if Tianning's navy was strong, the Northern Dynasties Emperors wouldn't be intimidated by it. With the Northern Dynasties Emperors' temperament, they'd definitely start a war!
He had no idea what was going on outside. Days like these were truly unbearable!
There wasn't much fresh water and rations left on the island. Where was he supposed to find more if he kept waiting?
Once again, it was the dead of night when the stars filled the sky.
Jun Yi Xie was lying on his back in a coconut tree, staring blankly at the stars.
Did something happen to the Northern Li army?
There was only one reason that could stop the Northern Li Emperor's bellicose heart.
Jun Yi Xie didn't think too deeply about the problem. There was no point in thinking about it while he was trapped here.
He took out a porcelain bottle and fiddled with it. This bottle contained the blood he'd collected from the ice that day. In these boring days, all he could do was ponder over this bottle of blood.
This blood contained poison that was extremely complex and strange. The blood contained a slow-acting poison. These slow-acting poisons were not fatal, but the poison formed when they were mixed together was fatal.
Judging from this blood, Baili Mingxiang had been poisoned with countless slow-acting poisons. With Jun Yi Xie's keen senses, he quickly realized that Baili Mingxiang had been used to cultivate poison blood.
This method was very similar to his own method of cultivating Poison Humans, but it wasn't completely the same.
Another possibility he thought of was to cultivate Poison Gu humans that couldn't be killed, but a strange discovery made him reject that idea.
After careful consideration, he realized that this wasn't human blood at all, but fish blood!
That day, he clearly saw that Baili Mingxiang and General Baili's hands were bleeding. Could it be that he'd collected the wrong blood? Their blood was somewhere else, and the blood he'd collected was from a fish?
But that day, he hadn't seen any blood on the surrounding ice.
Moreover, how could the fish in the Illusory Lake be so heavily poisoned? That day, he'd checked the lake water.
Compared to waiting for someone to rescue him, Jun Yi Xie was more concerned about this strange bottle of poison blood.
He was very obsessed with poisons. If he didn't figure it out, he wouldn't be able to sleep. Moreover, this poison blood might be the secret of the Long Fei Ye.
As he thought about it, he suddenly flipped over and fell heavily to the ground.
The poison in his shoulder was acting up again!
He lay motionless in the sand with his hand on his shoulder. The veins on the back of his hand were all bulging. It was a terrifying sight.
The poison in his shoulder was acting up more and more frequently, and it was more and more uncomfortable each time.
Rheumatic pain was the most torturous, but this pain was a hundred times more uncomfortable than rheumatic pain.
After a full hour of pain, Jun Yi Xie was finally able to move. He sat up, his hand still firmly pressed against his shoulder.
"Han Yunxi!"
He gritted his teeth, practically squeezing the name out from between his teeth. It was clear to see how much hatred he felt!
After living for more than twenty years, this was the first time he'd remembered a woman's name so clearly. It was as if it had been branded into his heart. He probably wouldn't forget it for the rest of his life.
"Han Yunxi, you mustn't fall into this prince's hands!"
Far away in Tianning, Han Yunxi was sleeping until the middle of the night when she suddenly woke up with a cold shiver.
There was still more than a month until Baili Mingxiang's Beauty's Blood was completed. She hadn't gone out much during this time, so she was making the best use of her time to concoct the antidote!
What was worth being happy about was that she'd already decided on the initial steps of the antidote. Her experiments had all gone smoothly.
Of course, she was using the poisoned blood she'd cultivated by imitating Baili Mingxiang's poison. In order to determine if the antidote was effective, she'd have to test it on Baili Mingxiang's true blood.
Since she couldn't sleep after waking up, Han Yunxi simply got out of bed.
She glanced outside the window and saw that the lights in Long Fei Ye's study were still on.
"You're awake? Or still awake? "
She put on her clothes and was about to go downstairs when Su Xiaoyu suddenly came upstairs.
"Mistress, why are you awake?"
Su Xiaoyu stood in the staircase, looking up at her. Her young and tender face was filled with drowsiness.
"Why aren't you asleep either?" Han Yunxi asked with concern.
Su Xiaoyu silently lowered her head. Han Yunxi was a little angry. "Didn't I tell you before that you didn't need to stand guard like this? The weather's still cold, so why are you doing this? "
Leisurely Cloud Pavilion didn't have a rule of servants standing guard at night. After Su Xiaoyu came, she insisted on standing guard at the staircase.
After Han Yunxi came back from the disaster area, she thought that the little girl had changed her bad habits. Who knew that she'd bump into her again tonight.
Seeing Han Yunxi coming down, Su Xiaoyu immediately moved aside and lowered her head like an innocent child.
Han Yunxi glanced at her. She wasn't as soft-hearted as before.
Although she loved this child dearly, she shouldn't challenge her patience like this. A servant girl who came to her Leisurely Cloud Pavilion and didn't listen to her repeatedly. How could she stay for long? Could she still be used?
As soon as she arrived downstairs, she coldly said, "Zhao mama!"
Zhao mama was sleeping in the room next to the study. She woke up from her dream and hurriedly came out. When she saw Su Xiaoyu, she knew what was going on.
"Discipline her well. If there's a next time, send her out!" Han Yunxi mercilessly instructed.
Su Xiaoyu immediately fell to her knees, her small frame trembling. She didn't dare to make a sound.
"This servant understands!" Zhao mama replied calmly. She thought to herself, This is exactly how esteemed wangfei should teach Su Xiaoyu a lesson. Otherwise, who knows what she'll become in the future?
Han Yunxi walked out the door and realized that it was almost daybreak. Zhao mama hurried after her and wrapped her in a cloak.
"Esteemed wangfei, why did you suddenly wake up?" Zhao mama asked in a low voice.
"When did His Highness come back last night?" Han Yunxi asked.
Zhao mama knew the answer on purpose, but didn't say it out loud. "This servant isn't sure either. Did His Highness come back last night?"
Han Yunxi was too lazy to pay her any more attention. She didn't leave the courtyard, but sat down on the swing instead.
Northern Li still hadn't gone to war, and Chu Qingge's marriage alliance was imminent. She figured that the next few days would be more peaceful. She had to hurry up and deal with the Beauty's Blood.
Because of it, her analysis of the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion had been delayed.
Seeing that esteemed wangfei didn't speak, Zhao mama kept her company in silence. Su Xiaoyu had long raised her head from her room to stare at Han Yunxi from a distance. A sinister look flashed past her dark eyes that didn't suit her age.
Chu Qingge's marriage alliance is imminent, and big brother's almost here. Looks like I'll have to find out something to give big brother an explanation!
