Jun Yi Xie was rescued?
Han Yunxi was stunned by Long Fei Ye's words. "When did this happen?"
"The night of the poison fog."
Long Fei Ye showed Han Yunxi the letter delivered by flying pigeon. Han Yunxi's expression grew heavy as soon as she finished reading. "Your Highness, whoever rescued Jun Yi Xie must be a poison expert. I'm afraid even I wouldn't be able to deal with him."
Long Fei Ye naturally knew of his opponent's skills, but he was still surprised by Han Yunxi's words. As far as he knew, the woman by his side was Cloud Realm Continent's top poisons master!
"It's impossible for an ordinary person to control such a large amount of poison fog," Han Yunxi remarked.
When she read the first letter, she thought that Jun Yi Xie might not have been able to escape despite the poison fog. Because of the natural conditions of Fishery Island, it was already unthinkable for a man-made poison fog to appear. To maintain the fog's duration and control its toxicity was even more impossible.
She assumed that the Baili Navy would be able to hold out against the fog.
But Jun Yi Xie was rescued that very night.
As a top poisons master herself, she couldn't imagine that the poison fog could have been controlled by someone else. What kind of person was the manipulator?
Long Fei Ye's expression was gloomy the entire time. If not for Fishery Island's rules forbidding martial arts, he would have killed Jun Yi Xie long ago. Why would he waste so much effort?
After being trapped for three months, he had planned to keep Jun Yi Xie trapped until he died. Who knew something like this would happen instead?
After pacing a few steps in the courtyard, Long Fei Ye couldn't suppress his rage any longer. He punched the wall and roared, "Jun Yi Xie, your lordship will make you pay an even greater price!"
Han Yunxi's rage vanished at the sight of this furious man. Instead, she felt like laughing.
It was actually a kind of happiness to see the person you liked get angry because of you.
Of course, Han Yunxi didn't dare to laugh out loud. She didn't dare to let Long Fei Ye know what she was thinking.
"Your Highness, we still have to make a trip. I'll go take a look at those poisoned marines." Han Yunxi said seriously.
Long Fei Ye just nodded. He was so unhappy that he didn't say anything.
They had no choice but to set aside the matter of the furnace explosion for now. After instructing Chu Xifeng to keep a close eye on Su Xiaoyu and Zhao mama, Long Fei Ye took Han Yunxi and left the capital for Fishery Island.
He would naturally deal with Jun Yi Xie in the future, but the most important thing right now was to figure out what was going on with that poisonous fog and who exactly saved Jun Yi Xie.
It was not a good thing that Jun Yi Xie had the help of such an expert.
After hearing that His Highness Duke of Qin and esteemed wangfei were going on a long journey, Su Xiaoyu was thrilled. She finally had a chance to go out!
But her heart withered as soon as she saw Chu Xifeng outside the Leisurely Cloud Pavilion.
She couldn't go out!
Ever since the furnace explosion, she hadn't found a chance to leave the estate. She had agreed to meet her master in the middle of the month, but now it was the end of the month and she still hadn't reported back. She couldn't even send word out.
If she knew this would happen, she wouldn't have been so impulsive. Although His Highness Duke of Qin and esteemed wangfei hadn't mentioned the explosion recently, she still felt uneasy. Especially after His Highness Duke of Qin's return, she felt even more fearful.
She really wanted to run away, but that would expose her identity. Moreover, she might not be able to escape. She had no choice but to keep waiting and think of a way out.
Currently, Chu Tianyin was waiting for Su Xiaoyu angrily.
"Young master, why don't this subordinate go take a look at the Duke of Qin's estate tonight?" the guard asked in a low voice.
Chu Tianyin immediately kicked him. "Idiot, do you think the Duke of Qin's estate is a place you can visit?"
If it was that easy, he would've gone long ago. Why wait here? Su Xiaoyu wasn't the type to be late, so she must have gotten caught up in something important at the Duke of Qin's estate.
Although Chu Tianyin was anxious, all he could do was wait. As a last resort, he could only abandon Su Xiaoyu as a chess piece.
This time, he had an important mission in Tianning's capital city. He couldn't afford to lose sight of the big picture for the sake of small gains and alert the snake in the grass. Once their identities were suspected, everything would be over.
The guard silently crawled to his feet, not daring to utter a peep. Soon enough, Chu Qingge arrived.
Under Chu Tianyin's tutelage, Chu Qingge had already turned all of the servants in her palace into docile, loyal servants. She'd even gotten on good terms with Eunuch Luo, Emperor Tianhui's personal guard.
Today, she'd borrowed the chance to leave the palace to pay respects to Buddha to sneak in here.
"Big bro, you guessed right! Noble Consort Xue, that slut, slandered me in Tianhui's ear last night. Eunuch Luo told me everything, "Chu Qingge said hatefully.
"Tianhui's already doted on Noble Consort Xue, but he still hasn't gone to your palace?" Chu Tianyin creased his brows.
Emperor Tianhui liked Chu Qingge very much, but he still hadn't doted on her yet.
At the mention of this, Chu Qingge's eyes turned red. This was the last thing she wanted to face. Fortunately, Emperor Tianhui had just recovered from a serious illness when she married into the family. He was still recuperating from his illness and couldn't make love to her. Moreover, Emperor Tianhui cherished his life and had strong self-control when it came to his health.
Of course, Emperor Tianhui would recover eventually, but Chu Qingge didn't want to dwell on this nightmare for now.
After a while, Chu Qingge replied unhappily, "It was that slut who went to the imperial study to deliver ginseng soup. She forcefully kept him company for a while, but Tianhui cherished his life so much that he didn't touch her!"
"Besides Gu Beiyue, which other imperial physician is familiar with Tianhui's condition?" Chu Tianyin asked.
Of course, he wasn't asking Chu Qingge, but the advisor by his side. Last time Chu Tianyin had returned to Tianning's capital, he'd made plenty of preparations and found a few advisors familiar with Tianning's imperial court.
"Tianhui's always used Gu Beiyue. When Gu Beiyue asked for leave, he recommended an Imperial Physician Huang. As this one understands, Noble Consort Xue tried to bribe him multiple times, but was tactfully refused every time," the advisor replied immediately.
"I'll try!" Chu Qingge said immediately.
Chu Tianyin glared at her unhappily. "How many times have I told you to think thrice before you speak?"
Chu Qingge shut her mouth resentfully. Actually, her heart was filled with displeasure. She didn't want to marry, much less serve as a chess piece, but her father had long given her a death sentence.
With her father's personality, she'd be done for the rest of her life if she refused.
She comforted herself by telling herself that she'd at least have a chance to take revenge on Han Yunxi. At least … at least she could see the Duke of Qin.
Her father and big brother both said that the Chu Clan wanted Tianning's throne, but she always felt that things weren't that simple. She'd asked them countless times, but neither of them had said much.
She was too lazy to ask, either. She'd agree to any of her big brother's requests, but anything that involved Han Yunxi … no way!
"I'll take care of Imperial Physician Huang. Qingge, has Mu Liuyue come looking for you recently? "Chu Tianyin asked next.
"No," Chu Qingge denied immediately.
"Did she or didn't she?!" Chu Tianyin asked again.
"Yes! She came looking for me just yesterday! "Chu Qingge said angrily.
Mu Liuyue came looking for her every two to three days to discuss how to deal with Han Yunxi. Although all of her suggestions were idiotic, Chu Qingge still cherished having a comrade in the palace who hated a common enemy.
"Mu Liuyue is one of Empress Dowager Li's chess pieces. Don't tell her about us," Chu Tianyin said seriously. "And also, I'll warn you one last time. Don't waste your time on Qin Wangfei."
"She comes looking for me every day to talk about Han Yunxi. Am I supposed to chase her out?" Chu Qingge retorted Coldly.
Chu Tianyin laughed disdainfully. "Keep messing around for now. When the time is right, see how your big brother uses this crown prince consort to topple Empress Dowager Li!"
Chu Qingge nodded. Of course she believed that her big brother had the skills. As for his warning, she'd simply ignored it.
A storm was brewing in Tianning's imperial harem. It was impossible to predict whether Han Yunxi would be dragged into it again. At the very least, she'd never considered any of the women in Emperor Tianhui's harem worthy of her attention.
A few days after leaving Tianning's capital city, she and Long Fei Ye finally set sail out to sea.
The Baili Navy hadn't retreated, so news of Jun Yi Xie's escape was still unknown to everyone, including Gu. Gu had already come ashore and disappeared with the Bear chuan. Mu Ling 'er was close to tears trying to find him.
As for Jun Yi Xie, he was still unconscious!
On the vast seas, an unremarkable fishing boat bobbed along with the waves. None of the ships passing by gave it a second glance, thinking it was just an ordinary fishing boat returning from the open seas. But Jun Yi Xie was lying in the cabin of the boat.
A yellow-robed girl was sitting by his side, inserting needles into his shoulder.
She looked to be around sixteen or seventeen years old, petite and thin. Her large eyes seemed to speak with their own eyes, giving her a very strange appearance.
Once she was done, she hugged her knees and waited on one side.
But soon enough, she couldn't sit still any longer and pinched Jun Yi Xie's nose. "Senior brother, we're almost ashore. It's time to wake up!"
Jun Yi Xie was already in a daze and was about to wake up. His breathing stopped, and he immediately opened his eyes. He looked at the yellow-robed girl in confusion and slowly closed his eyes. But soon, he opened them again and cried out in surprise, "Yuqiao!"
Bai Yuqiao chuckled. Instead of letting go, he pinched Jun Yi Xie's nose even harder.
Jun Yi Xie unceremoniously opened the bag, touched his stomach, looked around, and immediately got up and walked out of the cabin.
He knew he had left Fishery Island, and the poison in his stomach had been cured.
"Where's Master?" Jun Yi Xie asked Coldly.
He knew Bai Yuqiao didn't have the ability to save him from Fishery Island, nor did he have the ability to cure the poison in his stomach.
But there was one person who could definitely do it, and that was his father's ally, the former leader of the Hundred Poisons Sect, Bai Qingyan.
When he was three years old, his father died of illness and entrusted him to Bai Qingyan. Bai Qingyan took him as his disciple and treated him as his own. But when he was thirteen, Bai Qingyan disappeared after handing him over to the Northern Dynasties Emperors. He had searched for him over the years, but there was no news.
He never expected that his Master would come to his rescue at this time. Presumably, his Master had been keeping an eye on him.
Bai Yuqiao was his Master's adopted daughter, and his Junior Sister.
This little girl was young, but she was quite capable. She had matured early since she was a child. Usually, when he wasn't in the Hundred Poisons Sect, she could manage it well.
"Master said you were almost poisoned to death and humiliated him. He doesn't want to see you." Bai Yuqiao chuckled and asked, "Senior brother, who poisoned your shoulder? Let me tell you a secret. Even Master can't cure the poison. He took some blood back to study it! "
