"Yes, four years ago, I was still a disciple of the Poison House. At that time, the poison master created this poison and I thought it was to make people unable to see the real cause of death, but the poison master said she just wanted some poisons to give people a chance to regret."
Hua Rou sighed and said, "Master seems cold on the surface, but she actually has a warm heart."
Yu'er blinked: "Maybe! Alright, hurry up and eat!"
Yu'er said and pulled Hua Rou to the table edge, serving Hua Rou rice.
Hua Rou sat in front of the desk, secretly speculating: Since it was a poison made by Master four years ago, even if it wasn't some leftover poison from early years, Mu Da Ge would be poisoned, and it definitely wouldn't be just a coincidence or bad luck, but rather...
Hua Rou's eyebrows twitched, and her heart suddenly became uneasy. At this time, Yu'er handed the bowl to Hua Rou: "But I must remind you, don't mix this poison like other poisons!"
"Why?"
"The poison master said before, this poison is too potent. The poison maker will be poisoned even if they take the antidote, and the toxin will remain in their body for three months before it can be eliminated, very harmful!"
Hua Rou nodded slightly: "So that's how it is!"
Since I've come into contact with this poison, there will be residual toxins in the body for so long. If I investigate further along this line, won't I be able to find the person who administered the poison?
Hua Rong's eyes sparkled as she picked up her chopsticks and started digging into her rice.
At this time, in the east wing opposite, Zi Hua handed a single sheet to Zi Qi.
"Sister, take a look at what Hua Rou has been taking out these past few days. They're toxic materials, I have no idea what kind of poison she's making or what she plans to use it for..."
"We don't need to know what poison she's using, just seize this rare opportunity!"
"What does it mean?"
Zi Qi whispered a few words in Zi Hua's ear, and then Zi Hua's face revealed a sinister smile.
"Fellow disciples, at the first watch tonight, Master will be lecturing on the Five-Colored Illusory Formation in the Preaching Hall..."
Tang Yun stood in the courtyard, conveying information to his fellow disciples who were practicing sandboard array methods. Everyone heard that their master was going to teach a new advanced array method, and they were all excited, but Mu Junwu suddenly stepped out of line.
"I won't go then, I promised Master yesterday that I would finish making the mechanism ruler, and I think I'll just go to the warehouse to finish it."
Tang Yun heard this and pouted: "Mu Shidi, I know you're familiar with these mechanisms and formations, but this is Master's lecture class, it's better not to be absent."
You furrowed your brow, with a face full of reluctance: "Can't it be avoided?"
"Of course."
You responded with a somewhat impatient "got it" and returned to the sandbox.
"It can't be late anymore!" Tang Yu reminded him and left in big strides, but as he left, he glanced at Mu Junwu with a slight hook on the corner of his mouth.
At the beginning of the hour, a group of disciples from the government house rushed into the preaching hall.
Tang Yun saw Mu Junwu sitting in the corner with a listless expression, and couldn't help but reveal a hint of delight in his eyebrows - he was very jealous of Mu Junwu's uniqueness, seeing him having to follow the crowd, this made him feel secretly pleased. ...cop Tang Hezhi spoke seriously and interestingly, and everyone listened attentively.
Tang Yin listened for a while, and after understanding the subtlety of it, he looked around at his brothers who had not yet understood with a smug expression. However, he didn't expect to see an empty seat - the corner where Mu Junwu should have been sitting was now vacant.
Hey! Where's Mu Jun? He was just here a moment ago!
Just as Tang Yun was stunned, Mu Junwu quietly approached the warehouse and poked a hole in the paper window with his hand to take a look inside.
Sure, here is the translation:
As expected, there was a figure standing in front of the parts table with his back bowed.
Longing for you, I don't hesitate, immediately lift my foot and kick the door, now it's time to catch people!
The door burst open with a loud noise, causing everyone inside the house to turn their heads.
I stared with wide eyes: "Tang Liu'Er!"
He was unexpectedly surprised, and Tang Liu'ers seemed even more surprised: "Mu Junwu? How did you come over so quickly?" He said, still regretfully stomping his foot: "I haven't even finished assembling the mechanism yet!"
"Ah, sir, I'm startled: 'What are you doing with the ruler?'"
"You couldn't even figure this out yesterday, if I had solved it before you, wouldn't that mean I win?"
I took two steps forward: "How did you know I was playing it yesterday?"
Tang Liu stretched out his hand and scratched his head with a silly smile: "What's so difficult about this, just ask the person in charge of your organization and they'll know!"
"You're staring at me, what's your intention?"
"Of course I'm looking for a chance to win against you!" Tang Liu looked at Mu Junwu with an air of confidence: "What else can I do?"
I stared at Tang Liu'ershen, silent and speechless.
Tang Liu saw him not speaking, his straight and confident attitude suddenly became flustered: "Hey! Are you angry? You're getting angry over this little thing? It can't be that serious..."
Mu Junwu turned around and left with a flick of his sleeve, while Tang Liu followed behind him shamelessly: "Mu Junwu, don't be so petty, I just wanted to solve the puzzle first..."
"I turned around and stared at him: 'Follow me again, and we're no longer friends!'"
Tang Liu was so frightened that he immediately stopped moving, not daring to make a sound.
Mo Jun walked away, he was very angry, whether it was a coincidence or intentional, his plan to catch the thief had failed.
Tang Liu watched Mu Junwu walk away with a doting gaze, then pouted and muttered under her breath: "It's really excessive..."
……
In the west wing of the Poison Room, Hua Rou carefully scraped off a layer of frosty powder from the crucible onto the spread-out paper.
She let out a sigh after folding up the paper package.
I'd like to see who you are!
The flower gently wrapped in a good paper package, didn't even have time to clean up the things on the table before rushing out of the house.
She left not long after, the door creaked open and Zi Hua slipped in. She stared at something on the table for a moment before taking out a bamboo tube to scrape off some frost powder from the kiln and hiding it in her bosom. Then she took out a small porcelain bottle and placed it on the table, after which she hastily left.
"Third Daughter!" Hua Rou carried a basket on her back and held a cloth package as she entered the kitchen. The busy and chubby cook, who was in the middle of cooking, looked at her with a smile: "Are you here to deliver mushrooms for me again?"
"Right! I saw some new shoots today and picked them for you!"
"Hua Rou, you're really a kind-hearted sister. Since we met at the top of the mountain where the medicine grows, you've sent me four or five types of mountain mushrooms."
"It's just convenient for me to pick herbs anyway!" Hua Rou said as she put the picked mushrooms on the chopping board of the stove.
"Perfect, tonight's dish is chicken soup rice. The big pot just finished simmering the chicken soup, I'll go scoop a bowl for you." Fat cook said and went to scoop chicken soup from the big pot, Hua Rou thanked her and followed beside her, when San Niang opened the lid of the pot, helper Qiuniang happened to be carrying in the dried lettuce that had just been sun-dried.
"Hurry up and lend me a hand, I can't hold it anymore."
"Here it is!" San Niang handed the soup to Hua Rou and went over to help. Hua Rou quickly took out a paper package from her sleeve pocket, sprinkled the frost powder into the pot, and then swiftly stuffed the package back into her sleeve pocket.
She moved quickly and was behind the two kitchen girls, so she naturally didn't notice. Hua Rou saw Frosty dissolve into the soup instantly and couldn't help but smile on her face.
This medicine powder is harmless to normal people and can promote blood circulation and remove stasis, but for those who have killed a dragon, it will cause immediate fainting.
Today, I want to see who is behind this.
Hua Rou thought about drinking the chicken soup in the bowl, but didn't know that at this time, on top of the wall corner of the kitchen courtyard, Zi Hua's head appeared, she smiled slyly and took a glance at Hua Rou, then hid under the wall.
