(20) Chunhua
When Yun Ao rushed to the Star Demon Palace, he was meeting Liu Pingxuan's sedan chair and going back, and it seemed that there was no big problem.
"You're treating me as a doctor today?" Lian Xingche complained dissatisfiedly, "It's just that you can come to me even if you have a tire gas?" β
"I was... I thought..."Qin Fengya wiped the sweat from her head, "I thought she couldn't do it." β
"Uncle Lian, save Ah Yan, she's going to die!" Yun Ao rushed into the hall and placed Ah Yan flat in front of Lian Xingche.
"I know everything. Your Uncle Qin said it. Lian Xingche carefully checked her meridians, "You kid is glad that Ah Yan's body has been refined, and it is much stronger than you." If you drink that rose dew, I'm afraid you'll die on the spot. β
Yun Ao was shocked: "Then how is Ah Yan now?" β
"Are you stupid, stinky boy, now is the time for you to care about Ah Yan?" Lian Xingche rolled his eyes, "Someone wants to kill you, don't you understand?" β
He said as he used his spiritual power to force out the toxin. Directly exhaled a puff of black gas, and Lian Xingche collected it by the way.
"It's done, but it has done some irreversible damage to her. I can't help anyone. Lian Xingche slowly dissected the poisonous mist, "This is like the same return." β
"Together?" Qin Fengya became interested, "Is that the legendary poison that can be exchanged for sacrificing souls for the Five Poison Immortal Monarchs?" β
"Hmm. Yun Ao, who did you provoke, let him poison you even if his soul was scattered. β
"I don't know," Yun Ao shook his head.
"But I'm a little curious, there are so many people here, why is it Liu Pingxuan?" Qin Fengya raised her eyebrows, "If Ah Yan is bloodthirsty, it should be easier to get it next to him." "After all, for the demonic Ah Yan, most of the people present are lambs to the slaughter.
"Is it because she's wearing red?" Yun Ao thought about it, no one here was dressed more flamboyantly than her.
Lian Xingche shook his head: "The beast soul on her body comes from the ghost bone snake girl, and this thing doesn't distinguish five colors." β
"In the past few years, Yun Ao has never gone out, and he has been practicing penance in the alliance. I think it's better to check who is missing among the people who came into contact with Yun Ao. Qin Fengya tapped her head, "Ah, by the way, I still have to interrogate prisoners." β
"Whatever prisoner is tried, he will be executed if he has come into contact with it." Lian Xingche said in disgust, "Even the master's catering can't be investigated, what's the use of asking for these minions." β
As he spoke, Ah Yan struggled to wake up.
"Ahh How are you? β
Yun Ao wanted to touch her forehead, but Ah Yan hurriedly grabbed his sleeve, and his mouth was slurred.
Qin Fengya suddenly had an idea.
He crouched down, drawing Ah Yan's attention.
"Ahh
Ah was stunned for a moment and nodded.
"Did you know that sweet soup is poisonous?"
Ah Yan shook his head uncertainly, and nodded again.
"You know what's in there when you're done, right?" Qin Fengya thought about it for a while, and changed to a more accurate way of asking.
Ah Yan nodded.
"You attacked that woman," Qin Fengya stroked her hand above her lower abdomen, "That woman with a child in her belly is there a reason, right?" β
Ah Yan was confused for a moment, and suddenly nodded violently.
"So, you attacked her, and it had something to do with Sweet Soup, right?" Qin Fengya gestured awkwardly, if it was usual, Lian Xingche would have laughed, but now he couldn't laugh.
Ah Yan nodded, and whined again.
Qin Fengya patted her and signaled her to be calm.
"Is that the woman who put something in the sweet soup?"
Ah Yan was puzzled, and neither nodded nor shook his head.
"Ahh
Shake oneβs head.
"Ahh
Lian Xingche held her forehead: "How can you let her answer like this." It's still up to me. β
Lian Xingche thought about it carefully and asked, "Ah, did you smell something?" β
Ah Yan nodded again.
"The little lady doesn't need spices when she is pregnant." Qin Fengya couldn't help but interject.
"You... Did you smell something in the sweet soup on that woman? Lian Xingche licked his lips and asked this shocking sentence.
Qin Fengya couldn't help but hold her breath.
Yun Ao looked at her fixedly.
Ah Yan looked up, as if thinking about something.
After a long moment, she nodded slowly but firmly.
After telling Yun Ao not to expand the situation, Lian Xingche instructed him to send the scraps and bring Ah Yi back.
"It's almost clear." Qin Fengya didn't understand what else was unclear, "I just didn't expect her to be so bold and dare to fight Yun Ao's idea!" I really dare to do anything with a child..."
"No, it's not her." Lian Xingche twisted his chin and carefully identified the remaining ingredients as he extracted the remaining Tonggui from the soup.
"How could it not be her..."
"Tonggui is colorless and tasteless, and it will not be smelled by Ah Yan." Lian Xingche sniffed his fingers dipped in the soup, "There are some lovesick poisons in it, but the effect is average." Ah's smell may be this. β
"Lovesick poison? This..."Qin Fengya thought for a moment, "Well, it's indeed possible. I think that girl is also quite worthy of our Yunao. It's just a rush... However, Yun Ao has a reputation for pampering puppets, and he can't complain that people want to use the power of medicine to make him like that girl. β
"Okay, now just check who is missing." Lian Xingche wiped the water stains off his fingers, "You have to pay attention to appeasing the Ye family, it is estimated that they are not lightly scared." β
"I still have an idea." Qin Fengya gently attached to his ear, "It's just that you still need to tell Yun Ao about this matter..."
Lian Xingche listened and listened, and fell into thought:
"Does it have to be like this?"
"There's no better opportunity than now. I'm afraid if I don't do it again, it'll be too late. β
"But Yun Ao..."
"You and I have watched him grow up, and you can also figure out how to do what is good for him and the May Alliance."
ββ¦ I'll go again when we find out who poisoned me. β
"Okay."
Qin Fengya released the detained servants and concentrated on the investigation of the missing persons.
"Master Qin." Inkmarks knock on the door.
"Come in." Qin Fengya said while flipping through the file.
"Even if the servants went out and were executed, most of them have traces to follow... If you say that it is gone, only the Chunhua in the child's room..."
"Chunhua?" Qin Fengya raised her head, very confused.
"Well," Moji nodded, "It's just that Childe doesn't seem to want to mention her, not that she's going home to visit her family... However, Master Qin, you know that Chunhua and I jointly lead the guards and slaves of the Ruyi Pavilion... Chunhua once accidentally told me that she was an orphan..."
Qin Fengya stood up: "Ink marks, well done." You go back and wait for news, and I'll take care of the rest. β
Things are pretty much figured out.
When the patriarch of the Ye family visited Liu Pingxuan, he talked about Ye Tianya's marriage, so he had this bad idea, in a vain attempt to borrow the power of medicine to make Yun Ao "Xi Shi in the eyes of his lover".
Tonggui is Chunhua early in the morning in the Seven Treasure Glass Jar commonly used by Yun Ao. This Seven Treasures Glass Cup is not ordinary, except for the same return, if the general poison enters this cup, the body of the cup will definitely become black, and eating with this tea cup is almost foolproof.
There is only one thing I don't understand, why did Chunhua kill Yun Ao? Who doesn't know that they have a deep love for their master and servant?
This is the focus of Qin Fengya's investigation - the motive for the killing. He even had some suspicions, Yun Ao had already realized in his heart that the murderer was the person next to him.
Lian Xingche guessed that Yun Ao was not in a good mood. But after all, he promised Qin Fengya... Yun Ao has also reached the age of starting a family, and this matter should not be delayed any longer.
"Childe, even the Dharma Protector has arrived."
Lian Xingche walked in and saw Yun Ao feeding pickled plums to Ah Yan.
"Yun Ao, I have something to tell you."
Yun Ao's face was not very good-looking, but he still barely squeezed out a smile: "What's the matter, Uncle Lian." β
Lian Xingche glanced at Ah Yi and said solemnly: "Yun Ao, Ah Yi can't stay any longer. β
"Why?" Yun Ao's face turned pale.
"The puppet is crazy and attacks others, so naturally it can't be stayed. If it had been another puppet, I would have beaten it to the ground. β
"That's... What do you mean..."
"The soul returns her, let her go far. While your dad is still out of the customs. This matter can't be hidden from him, and he will never keep it. β
Yun Ao was silent for a moment: "Is there no other way?" She saved my life. β
And more than once.
"It's the best thing to do." Lian Xingche turned his head and looked out the window, "She can't be counted as a puppet anymore." β
"I want to come now, Ah Anger has saved me many times. At that time, I just thought that Ah Yi was stupid, but in fact, she had already felt something. Yun Ao sighed, "Okay, I..."
He stopped talking.
Lian Xingche sympathized with him. I just learned that my closest maid has been trying to kill him, and now she wants to force him to send Ah Yan away.
"What if I say I'm going to marry Ayan?"
"Your father, neither I nor your Uncle Qin want you to marry a puppet, let alone a puppet who will go crazy and kill people. Even if you give her her soul, she is still uncertain. Seeing that she has made great contributions to the May Alliance, it is the best choice to let her go. β
"Got it." Yun Ao pouted coldly, "I'll do it as soon as possible." β
"Tomorrow at the latest." Lian Xingche gave an ultimatum, "Your Uncle Qin has always wanted to destroy Ah Yan, you hurry up and act, don't tell him that I have been here." β
(Dividing Line)
My name is Chunhua.
Ah, no, I wasn't originally called Chunhua.
Before I was ten years old, my name was Shen Li'er.
At that time, I was not the eldest lady of Ruyi Pavilion, my identity was the eldest lady of Sword Casting Villa.
My father is a well-known refiner for a hundred miles, and he can forge peerless swords. My mother is a young lady from a famous family, and she only married him because she cared about my father. Fortunately, my father lived up to his expectations and became famous.
I don't have the vortex that a monk needs. It is extremely difficult for a person like me to cultivate a spiritual vortex by himself. So my father and mother said that it would be good to be a quiet girl, and it would be good to marry a good family in the future.
I don't have a problem with that.
My life is to read, paint, play the pipa, and work as a female worker.
Daddy and Auntie are my God, and under their protection, I know that my life will always be safe and worry-free.
Until that night.
My sky is falling.
There was a fire in the Sword Forge Villa, and people were screaming everywhere, and the servants were running in all directions.
Daddy supported Auntie, who was covered in bruises, and sent me out with a piece of spiritual power.
He said, "Farewell, go! Live well! β
He didn't tell me who my family's enemies were. Also, what power does a person like me have to seek revenge?
But I saw the black flag. I recognize it.
The notorious Mayocrament is known even to people like me.
I replaced my expensive clothes and jewelry with coils and horses, and came to the May League after all the hardships.
It's a bustling place. It reminds me of the eternal burning sword-forging furnace of Sword Forge Villa.
The Mayleague seems to be short of servants. Their housekeeper, a very elegant man named Qin Fengya, bought me.
From now on, I won't be called Shen Li'er.
My name is Chunhua.
I firmly believe that there must be some fatal joint in this prosperous, massive war machine. And I, as long as I keep waiting, will definitely be able to pry that joint.
Maybe at the moment when the Sword Forge Villa caught fire, I wouldn't be Shen Li'er. My life is gone. Daddy wants me to live well, but he doesn't know that there may be nothing else in my life but revenge. If I can slash the enemy, then I should die right after.
I miss Daddy and Daddy so much, and I want to be reunited with them.
I worked in the dining room first, and then I went to serve a young lady. I used to be a young lady. The lady didn't like me, and quickly sent me back. Fortunately, the manager was very good to me. I serve a female elder, and she is very pleased with me. After she went out to travel, I was sent to Ruyi Pavilion.
I felt as if I was seeing that joint.
Yun Ao and I are very close.
When he was fourteen years old, he brought back a female doll named Ah Yan.
I felt like my plans were being disrupted a little bit.
So I took a risk, and Yun Ao asked me to make pastries, so I did.
Of course, it was added to it.
Yun Ao's dining utensils all react with poison, so I don't dare to poison them directly. But I had something else to offer.
It's okay to eat pastries alone.
Inhaling the drug mist alone will be fine.
But if you do both things together, you will be poisoned and die.
I almost succeeded, if it weren't for Ah.
The girl fed Yun Ao a little blood, and Yun Ao was safe and sound. I thought it was just that the poison didn't hit immediately, but after following them for a while, nothing happened.
All right. Then I took a different approach.
It's just that it's a slow medicine, and it's in the Yunao incense burner.
But he was seen through by Ah Yan again. She threw the incense burner down and smashed it into Xiuzhu.
It's been three years, and Ah Yan shows no signs of leaving. I found that ordinary poisons couldn't hide her nose at all. Thankfully, she couldn't speak.
Yun Ao trusts me a lot.
Maybe I'm sorry for him.
But I can't help it, if I can kill them all, I don't have to go out of my way to hurt him.
I heard a little girl talking about the same home.
As long as you go to the Temple of the Five Poisons Immortal Monarch and sacrifice your soul, you can get a taste of poison. Colorless and tasteless, but it can immediately poison a monk who has cultivated to a high level.
I decided to give it a try.
It just so happened that Miss Ye came to ask for the glass cup.
When the poison is drunk, it is when my soul is gone.
That's it, Childe, this is the last time.
I'm already tired.
I'm not a sociable person by nature. When I came to Ruyi Pavilion, I couldn't be like Qiu Shi, who wanted to keep a straight face. Only if Yun Ao believes in me, I will have a chance.
He really treats me well.
If I weren't Shen Li'er, I would be very happy to be his big girl. But I'm Shen Li'er.
Every night I can dream of my daddy and my aunt's faces.
No, that's not my mom and dad. They won't force me to take revenge, but in my dream, they asked me, why is Yun Ao still alive?
The next day, I will continue to serve Yun Ao with a smile on my face.
I'm tired of it.
Father, mother, daughter did her best.
Whether Yun Ao drank the poisonous soup, her daughter died to see it.
Daddy, Auntie, come and pick me up. My daughter misses you so much.
