Chapter 46

Through this lake, one can reach a sparsely populated cold palace. This cold palace was originally the palace of the Zheng State. The Han State destroyed the Zheng State, although it occupied the capital of the Zheng State and renamed it "Xinzheng," but for the palace, it did not completely follow the Zheng State’s palace, but expanded on the basis of the original palace, but these original Zheng State palaces were left behind.

With the passage of time, it gradually became a broken wall, and few people usually come here.

After Bai Bai Yifei ended his meeting with Ji Ji Wuye at Ji Ji Wuye’s mansion, he took a small boat, crossed the lake, and came here.

Under the moonlight, a slender figure also quietly came here.

After seeing Bai Bai Yifei, Lady Mingzhu’s face immediately showed a hint of grievance, "Cousin, I have been poisoned!"

"No wonder you stayed in the palace for so long, but you have been helpless against that person. It turns out you were poisoned!"

Between the broken walls, the moonlight shone on Bai Bai Yifei’s face, making his pale face look even fairer. Looking from afar, his whole body exuded a cold chill, just like a cold-blooded creature.

But at this moment, his words carried a clear hint of teasing.

"Cousin!"

Lady Mingzhu heard the meaning in Bai Bai Yifei’s words and was immediately somewhat unhappy.

What does that mean?

Knowing that I was poisoned, he actually started to gloat.

Why didn't I notice before that Cousin actually had such a bad taste?

Bai Bai Yifei did think it was very interesting. This time, after he returned, after discussing with Ji Ji Wuye how to deal with Su Xuan, Ji Ji Wuye had implicitly mentioned to him that his cousin, Lady Mingzhu, was acting in defiance of his orders.

Bai Bai Yifei initially thought his cousin didn't want to complete the task assigned by Ji Ji Wuye.

Now knowing the truth, he was surprised and felt it was quite interesting.

It turns out it wasn't his cousin acting in defiance, but that she was poisoned and had to be controlled by others, which is why she didn't take action against Su Xuan for so long.

His cousin, who is proficient in medicine and gu arts, was controlled by someone using poison. He really didn't know what to say.

Should he say his cousin was careless, or scold her for not learning her craft well?

If it were someone like Bai Feng, Bai Bai Yifei would definitely scold him without hesitation, but the person in front of him was his beautiful cousin, so he finally chose to forgive her.

"Give me your hand!"

Bai Bai Yifei stopped teasing Lady Mingzhu.

Lady Mingzhu hurriedly handed out her arm.

Bai Bai Yifei held Lady Mingzhu’s wrist, sensing her pulse. A cold internal energy surged into Lady Mingzhu’s body as he mobilized it, carefully sensing the situation in Lady Mingzhu’s body, intending to find the poison in Lady Mingzhu’s body.

But after sensing for a long time, Bai Bai Yifei didn't sense anything.

His eyebrows couldn't help but raise, "Are you sure you really were poisoned?"

"Why? Does Cousin think I’m lying?" Lady Mingzhu looked somewhat aggrieved, and then she stated the symptoms after she was poisoned.

Bai Bai Yifei’s eyebrows relaxed, "According to what you said, the poison and gu you were poisoned with are very similar."

"Yes, it is precisely because it is very similar to gu that I cannot solve this poison, so I count on Cousin to help me get rid of that person’s control." Lady Mingzhu said to Bai Bai Yifei.

"Could it be that Cousin also has no way to help solve the poison in the body?"

Her eyes drooped, looking like she was about to cry.

Bai Bai Yifei’s expression froze. Could he say that his previous check actually didn't find anything?

Either Lady Mingzhu was not poisoned at all, or the poison she was poisoned with was extraordinary, and ordinary means could not check it out.

He knew very well what kind of person his cousin was. If she wasn't poisoned, she would find out sooner or later, so it could only be the latter.

The world is vast, and there are many people who understand medicine and poison. There are always some strange poisons that are difficult to detect by conventional means.

Especially since the person who poisoned her was that one, which fits perfectly with the various methods the other party is currently displaying.

After returning to the court, although Bai Bai Yifei had not yet seen Su Xuan, he had already developed great curiosity about Su Xuan.

Without continuing to think about Su Xuan, Bai Bai Yifei first answered his cousin’s question, "The poison in your body is quite tricky. Even for me, wanting to solve the poison is not so easy."

"However, according to what you said earlier, in that person’s hands, there is an antidote. You just need to force that person to hand over the antidote."

"What if he is unwilling?" Lady Mingzhu asked.

"Then that won't be up to him!" Bai Bai Yifei’s voice was cold.

The return of the Blood-Clad Marquis.

Caused some changes in the situation in Xinzheng City. Han Fei and the others in the Zilan Pavilion chatted and drank every day. There was no way if they didn't drink. Who told Han Fei he didn't have an official position?

Earlier, in the Ghost Soldier case, he saw an opportunity. He originally expected Ji Ji Wuye to recommend Zhang Kaidi as the person to investigate the case. As long as Zhang Kaidi couldn't solve that case, he could choose to help, and then plot for the position of Left Sima.

But the King of Han’s temporary choice to let Su Xuan investigate the case was beyond his expectations.

After missing that opportunity, Han Fei had been trying to find a way to plot an official position for himself during this time.

He thought very clearly.

Wanting to change the Han State, relying solely on being a commoner cannot be done. Although he is a royal grandson, as long as he doesn't have an official position, he still cannot participate in the decision-making in the court.

At the same time, after the Blood-Clad Marquis returned, he had also been closely watching the Blood-Clad Marquis’s movements.

Earlier, Ji Ji Wuye had suffered setbacks several times, and now Bai Bai Yifei had returned, clearly it was impossible to let it go. It was just that Han Fei was surprised that Ji Ji Wuye and the Blood-Clad Marquis had not yet taken revenge on Su Xuan.

He did not relax his vigilance because of this.

On the contrary, he felt a sense of wind and rain coming.

Emerald Tiger’s identity is extraordinary. Su Xuan abolished Emerald Tiger, so Ji Ji Wuye’s revenge will definitely not be that simple.

Until this day.

Fire soared into the sky.

No one knew where this fire started. In Xinzheng City, screams echoed, countless people suffering in the raging fire called for help in despair, and an atmosphere of fear permeated, adding a bit of strangeness to this night.

In the General’s Mansion, Ji Ji Wuye held a wine glass, looking out the window, the fire soaring into the sky. Even though he was in the General’s Mansion, he could still guess everything happening outside.

"The hatred suppressed for more than ten years did not disappoint us."

It is cold at the top.

On a high building, the Blood-Clad Marquis Bai Bai Yifei was very eye-catching in red clothes. He spread his hands, holding a bronze cup in one hand, looking at the dazzling fire in Xinzheng City below, his expression leisurely.

I don't know what he thought of, his mouth hooked a strange smile, he lowered his head, looking at the bronze cup in his hand. Inside the bronze cup, I don't know if it was wine or blood, the red liquid swayed slightly with the shaking of his arm, and a shadow like a dragon and snake wandered inside.

The shadow came from above the sky.

A black dragon and snake tossing in the dark clouds.

"From today on, fear will rule this city."

"What? Hundred Yue remnants are causing trouble?"

The fire in the city naturally needs an explanation.

The next day, in the court, the King of Han heard Ji Ji Wuye’s statement and was suddenly furious.

Especially learning that the fire last night might have been set by Hundred Yue remnants.

Ji Ji Wuye knelt on one knee on the ground, arched his hands and said, "Forgive the minister for being incompetent, perhaps it was because the army didn't wipe them out completely back then. There are still those who escaped by luck."

The King of Han heard Ji Ji Wuye’s words and did not answer immediately, but fell into deep thought, not knowing what he was thinking. After a long time, he lowered his head, looked at Ji Ji Wuye under the hall, and said, "The capital has always been guarded by your army. Now that such a disaster has occurred, what is your explanation?"

Ji Ji Wuye frowned slightly, seemingly dissatisfied with the King of Han’s attitude, but in the end, he did not express it. He said calmly, "The army is certainly useful for dealing with ordinary disasters."

"But this disaster, they used witchcraft, which I fear ordinary soldiers cannot resist."

"Witchcraft?" The King of Han raised his eyebrows, clearly curious about Ji Ji Wuye’s statement.

Ji Ji Wuye raised his head and said, "There are fires in many places in the city, the fire spreads and lasts for several days without extinguishing, and even becomes stronger when it meets water. Such witchcraft can only be used by Hundred Yue witches. And judging from the scale of the disaster, I fear there are people who understand military strategy organizing it."

"Then according to your words, what should be done?"

"Mr. Su Xuan has great supernatural powers, perhaps he has a way to deal with this group of Hundred Yue witches!"
