While Long Fei Ye was mercilessly punishing Han Yunxi, Gu was still squatting in his cell, completely unaware of the earth-shattering changes that had taken place in Medicine City.
With Gu by her side, Mu Ling 'er had forgotten to count the days. She probably wanted to spend the rest of her life in prison.
Gu usually liked to bicker with Han Yunxi, but in reality, he wasn't a talkative person. During the few days he was in prison with Mu Ling 'er, he remained silent unless Mu Ling' er took the initiative to talk to him.
He would either sleep or stare at the sky.
One day, Mu Ling 'er didn't say a word to him, but he stared at the sky for an entire day. Mu Ling 'er was in disbelief. She suddenly realized that even after knowing Qi Brother for so many years, she still didn't understand him at all.
Such a troublemaker could actually stare blankly for an entire day.
After that day, Mu Ling 'er no longer remained silent. The silent Qi Brother made her feel like a stranger, so much so that she was afraid.
At this time, there was a large commotion outside the cell. Gu was listening intently.
"Esteemed Pill Fiend, may I ask you a question?" Mu Ling 'er asked cautiously.
Gu ignored her. Mu Ling 'er hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Esteemed Pill Fiend, back then … why were you expelled from Medical City?"
Gu immediately turned to look at her, his bright eyes revealing a frightening hatred. "Why are you asking so many questions?"
Perhaps because she knew that he was Qi Brother, she wasn't afraid no matter how fierce his gaze was. She continued to ask, "I heard that you were still very young when you were expelled from Medical City. Is that true?"
Ever since Han Yunxi told her this secret, she had done everything she could to find out everything about Pill Fiend. Unfortunately, all that had been circulating in the medical world were only rumors. She couldn't find out why Pill Fiend was expelled.
Gu suddenly approached her and said in an unfriendly tone, "Little girl, remember this …"
He paused for a long time without saying anything. Mu Ling 'er muttered, "Remember what?"
Unexpectedly, he said gloomily, "This old man's business has nothing to do with you! If you enter Pill Fiend Pharmacy, you'd better not bother this old man! "
Mu Ling 'er felt like her heart had been bitten, and it was extremely painful!
She pretended not to know who he was, but he knew who she was! He knew that she liked Qi Brother!
He rejected her so thoroughly!
Seeing Mu Ling 'er's silence, Gu asked her again, "Do you remember this?"
Mu Linger was clearly on the verge of tears, but she put on a disdainful expression and gave a cold snort. "Hmph, who do you think you are? This Lady won't bother you! When this young lady reaches your age, her medicinal skills will definitely be better than yours! Let's … wait and see! "
As she spoke, she arrogantly raised her head and turned away. This was the noble, proud, and inviolable Ninth Young Miss of the Mu Family.
Gu looked at her for a while before replying with a single word, "Hmph!"
Thus, the two of them fell into silence again. Mu Ling 'er's heart ached, but she secretly praised herself. She felt that her acting was so good that Qi Brother wouldn't suspect anything.
After a long time, she snuck a glance at him and thought, Hmph, Qi Brother, you're a big baddie. I curse you to never leave this place!
Just as Mu Ling 'er was thinking that, the cell door suddenly creaked open …
Mu Ling 'er was dumbfounded. She seemed to have realized something and wanted to rush over to Gu. Unfortunately, it was too late. Gu had already disappeared.
She anxiously looked at the door again and saw that the jailer had delivered a large clean quilt and a piping hot meal.
What was going on? He had been torturing her all this time. On such a cold day, he only gave her straw, not a quilt, only cold food, and not hot soup. Why did he suddenly send everything over now?
Mu Ling 'er didn't care so much. She looked all over the room for Qi Brother, but she couldn't find him. She suddenly thought of something and looked up, only to see a black shadow flash by and disappear at the door.
Bad guy. When he came, he clearly asked me if I was going to escape, but when he escaped, he didn't even say a word. It's already so late. The Grand Medicine Testing Convention has already ended. Would it kill him to stay a little longer?
Grievance, disappointment, and discomfort all welled up in her heart. Mu Ling 'er covered her face and burst into tears, scaring the jailer quite a bit.
This jailer was one of Elder Wang's people. Elder Wang was overjoyed that the Xie and Mu Families had been defeated. The first thing he did was to change out all the jailers and guards in the Medicinal Forest. He added more people to watch over Mu Yingdong and Xie Deyi.
Elder Wang was a kind person and knew that Qin Wangfei valued this girl, Mu Ling 'er, so he told the jailer to take good care of her and not neglect her.
The jailer didn't know the truth and only thought that Elder Wang cherished talent. He originally planned to leave after delivering the things, but seeing Mu Ling 'er cry like this, he couldn't help but comfort her, "Ninth Young Miss Mu, don't be sad. The Xie Family has been defeated and Head Xie is also imprisoned here. Patriarch Wang appreciates you. As long as you are obedient, the Wang Family won't treat you unfairly. "
Mu Ling 'er's crying stopped abruptly, "What did you say? The Xie Family has been defeated? "
Did Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye come? Did they have something on the Xie Family? The Xie Family had been defeated. Did that mean that she would be able to leave soon?
"Who won? What exactly happened? "She asked anxiously.
The jailer told her everything and then advised, "Ninth Young Miss Mu, when the Elder Council investigates the matter of the Poison Sect, you can push the blame to your father. With the Wang Family's current power in the Elder Council, it won't be hard to protect you."
Mu Ling 'er fell to the ground and only laughed coldly after a long time, "They … … all deserve it!"
Father and Xie Deyi actually wanted to marry her off to Northern Li in exchange for the Snow Mountain. What did they take her for? Something that could be used to exchange?
Cold laughter sounded especially desolate in the silent prison cell. Fortunately, there was Han Yunxi, otherwise, her life would be over.
The jailer saw that Mu Ling 'er was very strange and didn't dare to stay any longer. He hurriedly went out and locked the door.
Without Gu, the prison cell was as silent as a silent world. Mu Ling 'er fell to the ground and the light from the skylight happened to shine on her body.
With her head lowered, her thin figure appeared especially lonely and desolate.
As soon as Gu left the Medicinal Forest, he went straight to the inn that he and Han Yunxi had agreed to meet at. Unfortunately, he didn't see her.
At this time, Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye had just arrived at the Wang Family through a secret passage. Long Fei Ye had already taken off his black robes and was now wearing a white robe with gold trimmings, which accentuated his noble and unapproachable aura.
As for Han Yunxi, she was still as elegant and refined as ever, her temperament out of the ordinary. However, she lacked her usual natural and unrestrained manner, because her head was bowed the entire time. She looked both reserved and awkward.
This kind of Qin Wangfei made Elder Wang feel strange. The first time His Highness Duke of Qin brought Qin Wangfei to the Wang Family was still fresh in Elder Wang's memory. Because that was the first time His Highness Duke of Qin had a woman by his side.
At that time, esteemed wangfei was respectful and reverent to His Highness Duke of Qin, but she didn't have to lower her head all the time.
Elder Wang hesitated before asking with concern, "Esteemed wangfei, are you … … alright?"
"I'm fine," Han Yunxi replied indifferently without raising her head.
Elder Wang looked suspiciously at Long Fei Ye, but Long Fei Ye remained expressionless and asked Coldly, "Has everything been taken care of?"
Based on the Duke of Qin's attitude, Elder Wang felt that esteemed wangfei should be fine, so he didn't ask any more questions.
"Everything has been taken care of. The prison cells are under control, and Old Man has also instructed Mu Ling'er to take care of her." Elder Wang said seriously, "Don't worry, Your Highness. This time, Old Man won't give the Xie and Mu families a chance to recover."
Because Xie Deyi helped the Xie Family cheat, the Xie Family would definitely push all the blame onto Xie Deyi and Xie Peng to protect the Xie Family. But no matter what, with this criminal record, the Xie Family would no longer have the right to participate in any future competitions in Medicine City.
The Xie Family's strength was mediocre to begin with, and with Xie Deyi's imprisonment, they would never be able to recover.
As for the Mu Family, the crime of colluding with the Hundred Poisons Sect was enough to sentence them to death. No one from the Mu Family would ever be able to enter the Council of Elders again.
Long Fei Ye didn't care about any of this. The Wang and Mu Families had been at odds for so many years, so Elder Wang would naturally take advantage of this opportunity to get things done beautifully. He was more concerned about another matter. "Has Xie Deyi confessed?"
Although Long Fei Ye hadn't said anything, Elder Wang knew from the look in his eyes before he left. His Highness Duke of Qin wanted to know who had given Xie Deyi the Poison of Roundworm and Sixty Rooms. Since Xie Deyi had been imprisoned, it would be easy to force him to tell the truth.
Elder Wang whispered a name, "Ouyang Ningnuo."
"It really was him!"
Long Fei Ye had always known that Ouyang Ningnuo wasn't easy to deal with, but he never expected the man to have such a long reach. He'd actually gotten his hands on both the Poison of Roundworm and Sixty Rooms.
Leaving aside how he'd gotten his hands on the prescription for Sixty Rooms, the Poison of Roundworm was a huge problem.
If he could use Jun Yi Xie's things to trick Jun Yi Xie, then Ouyang Ningnuo had to have some connections in the Hundred Poisons Sect.
Long Fei Ye drank his tea and fell silent for a while before he asked, "In one year's time, we'll sever all ties between Medicine City and Cloud Realm Trade Consortium. Are you … willing? "
After all, once Medicine City stopped cooperating with Cloud Realm Trade Consortium, they'd lose a huge chunk of their income. Moreover, His Highness Duke of Qin's intentions was to have Pill Fiend Pharmacy gradually replace Cloud Realm's medicine merchants and control Cloud Realm Continent's market. With Pill Fiend Pharmacy's pricing, Medicine City wouldn't be able to make any profit at all!
With the Xie and Mu Clans defeated, the Wang Clan would gradually take control of Medicine City and become the head of the city. If the Wang Clan interfered with Medicine City's Council of Elders and the various clans' cooperation with Cloud Realm Trade Consortium, then it'd hurt everyone's interests. They'd lose the support of the people, and it'd be difficult for them to maintain their position as the head of the city.
Long Feiye's' I'm willing 'was full of meaning.
But Elder Wang stood up without hesitation and offered him tea with both hands to express his loyalty. "Your Highness Duke of Qin is too polite! The Wang Clan will do its best in this matter! "
Long Fei Ye nodded and accepted the tea with both hands.
Now that Elder Wang's hands were free, he immediately fell to one knee and bowed respectfully. "Your Highness Duke of Qin, from this day on, Medicine City's Wang Clan is willing to pledge loyalty and loyalty to Your Highness for generations to come. We sincerely thank Your Highness for your help."
Although Elder Wang and His Highness Duke of Qin were old friends, Elder Wang was well aware of the man's ambitions. Rather than being friends, it was better to treat him as a master. Moreover, Han Yunxi had been accepted as a disciple by the King Of Medicine. As long as the husband and wife pair had the heart, Medicine City would be theirs sooner or later.
Long Fei Ye was very satisfied and handed the tea to Han Yunxi. "Wangfei should be the one drinking this tea."
His original plan was to take Medicine City for at least a year and a half, but Han Yunxi had done him a huge favor. Han Yunxi had contributed the most in this matter!
Han Yunxi subconsciously raised her head. Only then did Elder Wang see her …
