CH 86.1

Annoyed, Yuchan looked towards the roof. A piece of black cloth hung from the beam like a cat’s tail.

She didn’t even need to guess to know who that was. So dumb that he makes others want to laugh, yet he could still be a secret guard!

Back then, Yuchan had come from a death camp, but as a woman, she couldn’t train to become a hidden guard. She could only end up working as a servant like ordinary people. During those days, there was only the present and no tomorrow because she could easily die the next day. Life had been almost worse than death.

Every feudal prince had a place like this, somewhere to train men of sacrifice in secret. Jin Wang wasn’t an exception and Yuchan had come from one of them.

Naturally, there had been fear. But the people around her were all people who deserved to die. Yet their fate changed ever since Jin Wang picked them up so serving Jin Wang became their only goal in life.

Yuchan was lucky. When it was time for her to leave the camp, there had been an order from above to pick a maid. Her age was just right and her appearance wasn’t lacking among the other girls, so she was chosen.

After arriving at the manor, Yuchan learned that she was serving a wet nurse. This woman made His Highness indulge in pleasure without ceasing. Although she wasn’t officially titled as a concubine, she was more important than those who were.

In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Yuchan’s mind.

Back then, she had been extremely envious of those who could become hidden guards. Those who could become hidden guards were the cream of the crop among themselves. When they were still being trained, these hidden guards were their role models. However, after she arrived at the prince’s residence, she didn’t expect to find that such a heroic figure was so stupid.

As Yuchan taunted him in her heart, she went to put away the needle and thread angrily, planning to never touch this thing again.

On the beam of the room, An Shiyi secretly looked down, only to see a head of black hair.

He was worried. He had exposed so many traces, so why couldn’t she find him?!

He looked at the pouch again. To be honest, it couldn’t be called a pouch. It was only a piece of cloth sewn together, resembling a small cloth bag. He gently rubbed the big dark splotch on the top with his finger. This must be an embroidered image of him. He was indeed dark but why was he also faceless?

In the study room of Zhaohui Hall, a man stood there.

He was dressed in black. Tall and straight, his face was also very ordinary, the type that wasn’t noticeable in the crowd. Except for the occasional light glinting in his eyes, and the hideous scar on his left cheek, there was nothing unusual about him.

When Jin Wang came in, An Yi knelt on one knee. “Your Highness, this subordinate was fortunate to have not failed the task.”

Only An Yi who was in the capital knew how difficult this battle was. The powers of Jin Wang Mansion were all assembled in Jinzhou. Although Jin Wang could establish some of his power in the capital with the help of Duke Ningguo, it would be incomparable with the crown prince’s faction who has been operating in the capital for many years.

And that emperor’s grandson was also an extremely cunning but cautious figure. Even though An Yi approached this target of his without taking any detours, it took a lot of effort. There had been heavy casualties during this period, which he didn’t need to mention.

But the thing he needed to obtain, he obtained.

Jin Wang walked over and patted him on the shoulder. “You’ve worked hard.”

“This subordinate will do anything to carry out your orders. If it weren’t…”

Actually, the matter back then really wasn’t An Yi’s fault. No one had thought that the garrison guarding the imperial family would be infiltrated. It was also unexpected that Jin Wang would be drugged. After all, nothing unusual had happened as they left the palace.

On the way to Jinzhou, Jin Wang and his guards met with assassins.

Jin Wang’s poison broke out at this time and he became useless. The guards tried their best to resist the ambushers who were like locusts. Unfortunately, two fists couldn’t beat four hands. An Yi then led Jin Wang to flee in a hurry. Arriving in a county, An Yi saw that Jin Wang’s condition was getting worse, so he hurriedly found a place for him to rest. Then he led away those killers who were chasing after them.

That event was the biggest pitfall that Jin Wang encountered in his entire life. The people around him were all exhausted, and only An Yi remained. Fortunately, the others were all brought back one by one afterwards and the garrison guarding the imperial family ended up in a heap of trouble. Yet no one thought that the seemingly ordinary aphrodisiac was actually the long-lost Bliss Sanctuary!

This poison became Jin Wang’s deadly shackles. An Yi blamed himself, so he left Jinzhou to look for an antidote for Jin Wang.

Fortunately, he did not fail. Otherwise An Yi wouldn’t have come back.

An Yi took out a silk bag, which hung around his neck, close to his body. Not daring to take it off day or night, he rushed back to Jinzhou like this.

Jin Wang took it and opened it. Inside was a prescription.

This kind of thing could only be understood by Doctor Liu, so Doctor Liu was soon invited over.

When Doctor Liu got the prescription, he fell into a state of obsession, almost to the point of madness. Muttering under his breath then dancing with joy, he soon rushed out with the prescription in hand. Everyone knew his temperament, so no one bothered with him.

Jin Wang said to An Yi, “Since you’re back then rest.”

An Yi still had injuries on his body, especially since he had been running around for such a long time. He was also extremely tired, so he didn’t pretend to be hypocritical and refuse. Then he left.

There was obvious joy on Fucheng’s face. “Now that we have this antidote and Lady Su is also pregnant, it’s a double blessing.”

Even Jin Wang couldn’t help wearing a little smile on his face.

Doctor Liu soon began to develop an antidote.

It was worth mentioning that coincidentally, the prescription brought by An Yi was essentially the same as the prescription developed by Doctor Liu himself.

Of course, Doctor Liu’s knowledge was limited and there weren’t any finished medicines for him to compare with, so his prescription was much rougher. There were many shortcomings, but the antidote’s main ingredient—

Was still the blood of someone related to the victim.

It must be the blood of the next generation. But unlike what Doctor Liu had thought in the beginning, it must be the blood of a woman’s firstborn with the poisoned victim.
