Now that Head Elder Xie had exposed the entire matter, he had offended Jun Yi Xie to no end.
Although surprised, Han Yunxi quickly understood that Head Elder Xie had offended Jun Yi Xie for Medical City to see. Offending the Hundred Poisons Sect and even Northern Li Country in order to curry favor with Medical City would do far more good than harm to solidify his position as head of the Council of Elders.
It was killing two birds with one stone. Xie Deyi was truly worthy of being the head of the Council of Elders. He wasn't simple at all! Moreover, he had Ouyang Ningnuo behind him, making him even more difficult to deal with.
Han Yunxi whispered to Long Fei Ye, "Let's not become the Xie Clan's wedding dress!"
It was Han Yunxi who had exposed the collusion between Mu Yingdong and Jun Yi Xie to Head Elder Xie. If they couldn't topple the Xie Clan in time, Han Yunxi would definitely cry.
Long Fei Ye glanced at her and whispered, "Just wait."
Han Yunxi was reassured by His Highness Duke of Qin's words. She believed that the best part was yet to come!
The agreement with the Patriarch's seal was passed around among the people present. When it reached Lady Lianxin's hands, she glanced at it before glaring fiercely at Mu Yingdong!
Mu Yingdong stood rooted to the spot as if he had been struck by lightning. His face was so dark that it was almost charred black. He was so stiff that he couldn't move. Only his hands that hung at his sides trembled uncontrollably. His mind was blank and he still hadn't recovered from the shock!
He had been suspicious of Head Elder Xie's attitude from the start, but he never thought that he would be played like this! Nor did he expect things to turn out this way!
With such irrefutable evidence, how could he explain himself? How could he salvage the situation?
He could only admit his mistake!
"Head Elder Xie!"
Mu Yingdong suddenly cried out, "Head Elder Xie, this one was wrong! Completely wrong. It was all Jun Yi Xie's coercion. This one was worried about my daughter and wanted to seek greater benefits for Medicine City. That was why I agreed to Jun Yi Xie's request! Although this one has a private agreement with Jun Yi Xie, this one has long planned that once Ling 'er is married, the snow mountain will be given to the council of elders and shared by all the families in Medicine City! "
Such words were simply a joke. Who would believe it?
President Xie was about to retort when Madam Lianxin stood up. "Mu Yingdong, you're so muddle-headed! Even the people of Hundred Poisons Sect can scheme against him? "
Jun Yi Xie's face was already gloomy because of Mu Yingdong's counterattack. After being scolded by Madam Lianxin like this, his deeply chiseled face became even darker … However, he still didn't say anything.
"Fifth Elder, I was foolish! I deserve to die! However, I am also anxious to protect my daughter and the city! For the sake of the Northern Li Royal Family, I … sigh! "
Mu Yingdong looked like he couldn't explain anymore. It was too late for regrets and he slapped himself in the face.
Madam Lianxin sneered, "You've lived for so long and yet you've made such a grave mistake. Why don't you scram back home and properly reflect on it!"
She then turned to Elder Xie and said, "Elder Xie, this is the venue of the Grand Medicine Testing Convention. Everyone is here to watch the competition. It's best if you don't spread Medicine City's dirty linen here. You can deal with it later! As for the people of Hundred Poisons Sect … hehe, I believe that Medicine City is the same as Medical City. No one will welcome them, right? "
Madam Lianxin was worthy of being the daughter of the Mu Clan, Mu Yingdong's third sister, and the only woman in Medical City's council of elders. With just a few words, she had protected Mu Yingdong, denied Jun Yi Xie, and most importantly, used Medical City to pressure President Xie.
First, they'd chase Jun Yixie away and have Mu Yingdong return. Then they'd put the matter on the table. Once the Grand Medicine Testing Convention was over, there'd be plenty of room for discussion as to how the Council of Elders would punish Mu Yingdong.
It had to be said that everyone present was rather disappointed. They had originally thought that there would be a good show to watch from the Mu Clan, but now that Madam Lianxin, the fifth elder of Medical City, had stepped forward, Xie Deyi had no choice but to give her face. Madam Lianxin was young and her medical skills were average, but she had climbed to the position of elder. Who didn't know of her methods in the medical academy?
But unexpectedly!
President Xie didn't give her any face and his attitude was unyielding as he got straight to the point. "Madam Lianxin, this is Medicine City's internal affair. Whether Mu Yingdong can return or not is not up to you!"
Madam Lianxin abruptly stood up from her seat, clearly surprised. However, she quickly calmed down. "President Xie, Medicine City's internal affairs are naturally not up to us Medical City's people to decide. I was only giving a suggestion. After all, I am the same as everyone else here. I was invited to watch the competition, not to see your Medicine City's dirty linen."
Tsk tsk, just listen to what she said!
Not far away, Han Yunxi couldn't help but want to clap.
"This president announces that the Grand Medicine Testing Convention will rest for an hour. Refreshments will be prepared in the venue, so please help yourselves!" President Xie refused to budge an inch.
Madam Lianxin clenched her fists, but there was nothing she could say. She could only bear this grudge in her heart.
She didn't believe that the Council of Elders would kill Mu Yingdong just because he had signed a private agreement.
Who would leave when they said it was a break?
Even Jun Yi Xie, who had been chased out twice, refused to leave. He coldly said, "Elder Xie, this prince has come as a representative of the Northern Li imperial family. I sincerely wish to promote marriage between Medicine City and the Northern Li imperial family. I didn't expect you to use this prince to get rid of your dissidents. Hehe, weren't you the one who wanted this prince to sign this agreement with the Mu Clan Head? "
Jun Yi Xie was using his status as Northern Li's Qin Wang to propose a marriage for the crown prince. If he messed things up, he would have a lot of trouble when he returned to Northern Li.
No matter what, he had to stay and fight for some justice.
President Xie laughed heartily. "Jun Yi Xie, you're still pretending! Before you came to see the Old Man, you were already in cahoots with Mu Yingdong! This was all part of your plan! "
"President Xie, you need evidence to back up your words!" Jun Yi Xie's voice was gloomy.
Mu Yingdong angrily said, "President Xie, you're slandering me! I was only muddle-headed when I agreed to sign that agreement with Jun Yi Xie. Before this, I wasn't familiar with Jun Yi Xie! "
Mu Yingdong was several times more agitated than Jun Yi Xie. One had to know that the Council of Elders was only punishing him for signing a private agreement with Jun Yi Xie.
However, if he had been in cahoots with Jun Yi Xie, then he had committed a grave crime!
These were two completely different matters!
President Xie sneered, "Men, bring out the evidence!"
"Evidence …" Han Yunxi was puzzled.
Long Fei Ye was also watching with interest. It was already good enough that President Xie was using the marriage to suppress the Mu family. Where was he going to find evidence that the Mu family had been in cahoots with Jun Yi Xie?
Who knew that when the evidence was presented, everyone would be disgusted. The evidence was actually a corpse covered in worms!
Ouyang Ningnuo was the most exaggerated one. He actually ran from his seat in the first round to the third round and sat next to Long Fei Ye.
Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi had a tacit understanding. They pretended that he was invisible and focused on the corpse on the stage.
Two people at the scene discovered that the corpse was poisoned at the same time. One was Han Yunxi, and the other was Jun Yi Xie.
As for Jun Yi Xie, he was very close to the corpse and immediately recognized that the worms on the corpse were his Hundred Poisons Sect's most famous poison roundworms. Hundred Poisons Sect did not spread this poison to outsiders and had strict control over it.
Who poisoned it?
"This is the evidence! This is the prison guard who delivered the food to Mu Ling'er. Mu Ling'er attempted to use poison to force him to release her. Fortunately, the guards discovered her. Haha, according to Old Man's understanding, this poison originated from Hundred Poisons Sect, and it's not something an ordinary person could possess! May I ask, where did Mu Ling'er obtain this poison? Mu Ling'er is a pharmacist, so how could she know how to use poison? "asked President Xie seriously.
"This prince has never given Mu Ling'er any poison!" said Jun Yi Xie angrily.
"According to this president's understanding, this poison roundworm is unique to Hundred Poisons Sect, and it's never spread to outsiders. Jun Yi Xie, you said that this poison wasn't given to Mu Ling'er by you. Could it be that it was given to her by one of your subordinates? "
Jun Yi Xie didn't know what to say in response to President Xie's question.
Han Yunxi was even more shocked than Jun Yi Xie! How did things turn out like this?
Han Yunxi sat far away and couldn't see clearly, but the detoxification system had already given her the answer. It was a poison roundworm, but it wasn't the roundworm poison she gave to Gu.
She had always been researching Hundred Poisons Sect, and had researched the top ten poisons of Hundred Poisons Sect's poison ranking. She could basically write down the formulas based on the descriptions.
However, she had never come into contact with those poisons, so the ones she made could only be said to have similar symptoms, but they weren't the real deal.
The roundworm poison she made for Gu was the same. The symptoms of poisoning were very similar to the roundworm poison of Hundred Poisons Sect, but there were still differences if one looked carefully.
Not to mention other things, at least the roundworm poison she made would corrode along with the corpse within a day, while the Hundred Poisons Sect's poison wouldn't.
Not to mention the difference in toxicity, just the poison that Gu had used. In Gu's letter, he clearly said that he had poisoned the Lin family's burly man, so how did he become a prison guard?
Han Yunxi immediately activated the detoxification system to conduct an in-depth examination, analyzing the time when the deceased had been poisoned. Who knew that the result would give her a fright.
This deceased had been poisoned on the second day after the Lin family's burly man died, so someone used the real roundworm poison to poison the prison guard after the Lin family's burly man was poisoned.
Who poisoned him? Where did the real roundworm poison come from?
Han Yunxi originally faked the Hundred Poisons Sect's poison to strengthen President Xie's heart, making President Xie believe that Jun Yi Xie and the Mu family were in cahoots. She didn't want to provide evidence that Jun Yi Xie and the Mu family had long been in cahoots!
After all, their plan to suppress the Mu family had to be done step by step. If they suppressed the Mu family all of a sudden, the Xie family's power would increase. Once the Xie family's power increased, it would be even more difficult for them to get Mu Ling 'er out.
Moreover, there was a big difference between "the Mu family and Jun Yi Xie" and "Mu Ling 'er and Jun Yi Xie".
Once Mu Ling 'er became a scapegoat, she would definitely be blacklisted by Medical City in the future!
How troublesome!
Without a doubt, Long Fei Ye's plan had been completely disrupted. He narrowed his cold eyes and turned to look at Ouyang Ningnuo, who was sitting to the side.
Ouyang Ningnuo's smile was very gentle and harmless.
Han Yunxi was feeling gloomy when President Xie suddenly called out to her.
"Qin Wangfei, I've heard that you're proficient in the art of poison. Please come on stage and testify."
Han Yunxi really wanted to cry … What should she do now?
"Esteemed wangfei, President Xie is calling for you," Ouyang Ningnuo reminded her with a smile.
Han Yunxi didn't want to pay attention to him, so she cast a questioning look at Long Fei Ye …
