Chapter 75: Emptying Out

"I think she's called something like Chi Nan Yi."

Chi Nan Yi?

Why does that name sound somewhat familiar?

"Never mind, bring that village woman here to diagnose and treat me."

"Your Highness, that woman's surname is Chi."

"So what? The Chi Family left Jingcheng long ago and put down roots in Nanpu, thousands of miles away from here. That village woman is absolutely not the old master of the Chi Family's person." He looked at the increasing number of red rashes on his body and kicked out: "Why are you still standing there? Didn't you hear me? Why aren't you going to bring that village woman to me?" Because his body moved too violently, he couldn't hold it in, and another sound came from below him, an indescribable odor spreading through the room.

Mo Junheng's face was livid, and Gaofeng, standing beside him, lowered his head.

"Get out!"

Gaofeng hurriedly retreated; if he didn't leave soon, he would suffocate.

"Damn that Mo Junyan, actually daring to poison me!" He clenched his fists tightly, his eyes full of hatred: "Just a cripple, yet daring to oppose me. Once I return to the capital, I will certainly deal with you."

Chi Nan Yi, within the space, heard Mo Junheng's words clearly.

She gave a disdainful cold laugh: "Mo Junyan is faking his illness, but you are truly sick—not only is your body sick, your brain is sick too. If you want this lady to diagnose and treat you, it will cost you half your fortune."

She had no idea what kind of extreme lovesick fool the original owner was, to actually take a fancy to a thing like this.

As long as she didn't lift a hand to detoxify him, no matter how many medical texts that imperial physician searched through, it would all be in vain.

This medicinal powder was formulated according to the poison compendium in the laboratory within the space; to detoxify it, the medicinal catalyst was Spirit Spring Water.

In this world, apart from herself, there was probably no one else who could detoxify him.

"Your Highness." A guard's voice came from the room: "The envoy delegation from Yuqin Guo has already reached the border. They will arrive here in a few more days."

Mo Junheng forced himself to sit upright: "Looking the way I do now, how am I to meet the people of Yuqin Guo?"

The guard stood to one side, not daring to speak. Mo Junheng rebuked coldly: "Useless! All of you useless! Where is Gaofeng? Why hasn't he brought that village woman to me yet?"

"Your Highness, Commander Gao only just left."

Mo Junheng looked at the red rashes that had appeared from nowhere on his body and the increasing number of blisters, and said furiously: "Go find the Divine Doctor for me! No matter how much silver, you must cure my illness."

"Yes."

"Also, go to the storehouse and bring the things I prepared."

"This subordinate will go at once."

Storehouse?

Chi Nan Yi's eyes lit up.

What she had been waiting for was exactly the location of the storehouse.

She knew that given Mo Junheng's temperament, he wouldn't travel all this way just for a Zhao Anqi; there must be other motives.

Yuqin Guo.

As a neighboring state of Qi Guo, Yuqin Guo was powerful and prosperous. Its ruler was in the prime of his life, and the generals under his command were fierce and skilled in battle. That invincible cavalry in particular had always been a grave threat to Qi Guo.

In her previous life, Yuqin Guo intended to form a marriage alliance with Qi Guo, and Mo Junheng had his eye on the position of Crown Princess through the Princess of Yuqin Guo, but the Princess of Yuqin Guo simply did not fancy him and instead married the young master of the Duke of Zhenguo's residence. However, not long after, the duke's residence met with ruin and the family was destroyed.

Thinking about it now, for such a powerful duke's residence to suffer such a sudden calamity, even if the mastermind behind it was not Mo Junheng himself, he could not escape involvement.

Since he intended to form a marriage alliance with the Princess of Yuqin Guo, what he coveted was nothing more than the power behind her. The things he prepared for her were certainly priceless.

Chi Nan Yi silently followed behind the guard, watching him enter a courtyard. Around the courtyard, Chi Nan Yi detected several extremely concealed auras. Her special agent's instincts told her that these people's martial arts were certainly not low, and they were absolutely not comparable to the ordinary guards in the courtyard.

Sure enough, something good was hidden inside.

Chi Nan Yi hid in the shadows, waiting for the right moment.

Before long, the guard walked out of the storehouse, carrying a box and heading in the direction of Mo Junheng's courtyard. As he passed by Chi Nan Yi, she, within the space, flicked her fingertip, and a wisp of powder landed on the box. The guard carrying the box looked straight ahead and did not notice anything amiss.

When Chi Nan Yi's gaze fell on that box, she couldn't help but startle.

In her memory, after Meng Qinghe married Mo Junheng, she obtained this box. Inside the box was an extremely precious set of eastern pearl hair ornaments.

In Qi Guo, eastern pearls were rare and their price even more exorbitant. Only those of extremely exalted status and great wealth were qualified to wear eastern pearls.

After Meng Qinghe obtained this set of hair ornaments, she showed them off in front of the original owner for a long time. In her view, that the Crown Prince would give her such precious hair ornaments was undoubtedly a hint that she would certainly become the principal wife in the future.

Meng Qinghe probably never imagined that these hair ornaments were what the Princess of Yuqin Guo had rejected, and Mo Junheng had casually bestowed them upon her.

Just then, an anxious guard's voice came from Mo Junheng's courtyard: "Your Highness! Your Highness! Someone! Come quickly!"

As the words fell, several figures flew past, and most of the guards in the courtyard also ran out.

Chi Nan Yi watched the lightness skill of those people and couldn't help but feel a bit envious.

Although she was a special agent, she was only proficient in some combat techniques. Lightness skill, an internal energy technique, she was truly not skilled at. If she were to fight them with blades drawn and spears raised, she probably wouldn't last long before being defeated.

It seemed that in the future, she would definitely need to find an opportunity to learn internal energy.

Right now, with so few guards here, it was the best opportunity.

Stepping out from the space, she grabbed medicinal powder and scattered it. Before long, the eyes of the guards in the courtyard grew hazy.

Against those of mediocre martial arts, medicinal powder was still very effective.

She used the key she had just swiped from the guard to open the door. In the storehouse were five or six large chests.

Inside, apart from gold and silver, there were also several chests of priceless porcelain, calligraphy, paintings, and jewelry.

Looking at the way they were arranged, they didn't seem like they had been brought from Jingcheng, but rather like they were meant to be taken back to Jingcheng.

Mo Junheng had come to this place and was actually still accepting bribes?

The Assistant Magistrate of Qingjun County was Xie Yuwei, who in the previous life had openly rebuked Mo Junheng in court. These things shouldn't have been sent by him. If not him, then who else?

But none of that mattered anymore. No matter who sent them, they were all hers now.

Chi Nan Yi swept her arm, and everything in the storehouse was taken into the space.

This was just a small appetizer. Once she went to Jingcheng in the future, she would certainly give his Crown Prince's Residence a thorough emptying.

Taking advantage of the guards in the courtyard not having returned yet, Chi Nan Yi quickly departed, leaving not a single trace behind.

At this time, in Mo Junheng's room, Imperial Physician Wen was so anxious that his head was covered in sweat.

"What happened? How did he suddenly faint?"

"This subordinate doesn't know either! His Highness had this subordinate bring this box over, and His Highness fainted the moment he opened the box."

Imperial Physician Wen frowned upon hearing this. He examined that box with meticulous care, and finally, discovered a trace of white powder at the box's latch.

"Sweat-drug." He took out a porcelain vial and waved it beneath Mo Junheng's nose. Mo Junheng's eyes snapped open instantly.

"What happened? Why did I… faint?" He pressed his fingers to the space between his brows, his brow furrowed tight.
