I couldn't help but shake my head, wondering what kind of owner could be so bad at choosing people.

"I'll kill you!"

Yu Shaoqing and I looked at each other for a few seconds, trying to get some information from him, but he shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.

"Who sent you to kill me? What are their names?"

The man in black shook his head: "We only accept bounties and never ask who the merchants are!"

Doesn't asking them mean I'm asking for nothing if I don't know their names? I can't help but suspect they're lying to me.

He stomped his foot and glared angrily, threatening, "You dare to lie to me?"

The men in black huddled together in fear: "We didn't lie to you, we only know that the person is of very high status."

One of the men in black seemed to remember something and hurriedly said, "It looks like a princess!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Shao's expression visibly changed, as if he had realized something.

But when I turned to look at him, he looked completely bewildered.

Seeing that I couldn't get any information out of them, I shook my head in boredom and said in a drawn-out tone, "If you want to cure the poison, you just need to jump into the water!"

The men in black hesitated for a few seconds, then pinched their noses and jumped into the water one after another.

After soaking for a while, the man in black noticed that his eyesight was slowly returning.

Immediately afterwards, a burst of silvery laughter came from the ship, as if mocking their stupidity.

"Princess?"

"Could Brother Yu be Princess Ling Shuang from Lingqi?"

"Do I have some past conflict with her?"

As if I had discovered some earth-shattering secret, I exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be that she also wants the imperial edict?"

"Do you perhaps aspire to become Empress Wu Zetian?"
