After hearing this, Su Yan looked at Shen Yao lying on the bed with great worry and felt extremely guilty.
If she hadn't sent Shen Yao to the Ghost Market, he wouldn't have been captured by the Dark Moon Pavilion and poisoned with Gu.
"Is there any way to cure this poison?"
Wang Ruofu looked grave, sighed softly, and shook his head at Su Yan, "This Gu poison isn't something an ordinary person could concoct, and I have no way to cure it, but..."
Wang Ruofu hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
"But what?"
Wang Ruofu frowned, seemingly lost in thought, and said, "I think I've seen someone who created this kind of poison before."
Upon hearing this, Su Yan immediately perked up and quickly asked, "Who?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Wang Ruofu looked very troubled, her gaze towards Su Yan was complicated, and she was hesitating whether or not to tell her the truth.
Although Wang Ruofu suddenly fell silent, Su Yan immediately understood her meaning and guessed that the person her senior sister was talking about was probably related to her, otherwise she wouldn't be looking at her with that kind of gaze.
With this in mind, Su Yan no longer hesitated and encouraged Wang Ruofu to tell the truth, saying that she could bear whatever the final outcome might be.
"Senior sister, please speak freely! I can handle it."
Hearing Su Yan say this, Wang Ruofu no longer hesitated. His gaze towards her was extremely heavy, and after a long while, he finally said, "It's Master Su..."
Upon hearing this result, Su Yan's eyes widened, her pupils dilated, and her gaze was filled with shock, seriously doubting the information she had heard.
"I... am my father?"
Su Yan looked at Wang Ruofu with a frightened expression, her eyes filled with an urgent need for confirmation, and she desperately hoped that what she heard was just a false alarm.
However, Wang Ruofu nodded with a complicated expression, "Master Su once studied the art of Gu poison, but I don't know why he stopped studying it later, and he even asked me never to touch the art of Gu poison for the rest of my life..."
Su Yan had never paid much attention to her father's medical and poison skills, so she did not doubt the truthfulness of Wang Ruofu's words.
If the Gu poison technique was indeed developed by his own father, then it means that the murderer who wiped out the entire Su family four years ago was probably after this Gu poison technique.
Upon thinking of this, Su Yan's eyes darkened, and she thought rapidly before continuing to ask Wang Ruofu, "Senior Sister, besides my father, has anyone else in this world come into contact with the Gu poison he researched?"
Wang Ruofu looked solemn and pondered for a long time before slowly saying, "Master Su has always been cautious about researching Gu poison techniques. He rarely reveals even a little bit of progress to me. If there is anyone besides me who knows about the progress of Gu poison techniques, it is my godfather."
"Master? So Xu Xingjian doesn't know about my father's research on Gu poison?"
“Xu Xingjian is just a traveling doctor who has only been a disciple of Master Su for a few years. How could he possibly tell him about this…”
After hearing Wang Ruofu's words, Su Yan's expression immediately turned serious. "Then it seems that Master's disappearance was not a coincidence..."
Wang Ruofu nodded in agreement, "It's strange, after my godfather investigated the Su family's case, he disappeared without leaving any trace. Now it seems that it's probably related to the Dark Moon Pavilion."
"Senior sister, these are all things for later. The most urgent task is to cure Chen Yao of the Gu poison. We can't just stand by and watch him die!"
Wang Ruofu looked at Shen Yao lying on the bed, whose complexion was gradually becoming abnormal, and shook his head helplessly. "Xiao Yan'er, I know you are very worried about Shen Yao's injuries, but please calm down first. I can only prepare a prescription that can temporarily suppress the Gu poison in his body, but it cannot completely save him. The most urgent task is to capture the person in Dark Moon Pavilion who developed the Gu poison as soon as possible."
"Senior sister, you can rest assured that you'll leave the arrest to me. As for Shen Yao, I'm entrusting him to you..."
Wang Ruofu nodded, "Don't worry, I'll help stabilize Shen Yao's condition, but I can't hold out for too long. We must catch the drug manufacturer as soon as possible..."
"knew……"
After saying that, Su Yan couldn't bear to look at Chen Yao again, so she turned around, waved her hand, and left the room.
………………
Time rewinds to five days later.
After several days of fighting, the Xie family ultimately emerged victorious.
In the current situation, both the Crown Prince and the Empress have been deposed, the Emperor has been controlled by the Imperial Noble Consort, the court has been almost entirely occupied by the Xie family, and the Imperial Noble Consort's son, the Nineteenth Prince, has been appointed as the new Crown Prince.
Of course, on the surface, the Xie family does seem to have the upper hand, but in the end, it's still uncertain who will have the last laugh.
Li Shen never revealed his hidden strength from beginning to end, secretly waiting for the Xie family and the Dark Moon Pavilion to tear each other apart.
When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman profits.
Today is the day to establish a new crown prince.
Su Yan and Lin Shu had already laid an ambush outside the Xuanhe Hall.
Hidden in the shadows, Su Yan and Lin Shu had already witnessed the Xie family members and the Dark Moon Pavilion members fighting each other.
However, the Dark Moon Pavilion was, after all, an assassin organization, and the Xie family gradually found themselves at a disadvantage.
Meanwhile, Su Yan and Lin Shu took the opportunity to change into Dark Moon Pavilion clothes and sneak into the main hall of Xuanhe Palace.
Inside the main hall, all the civil and military officials had been taken into control by the people of the Dark Moon Pavilion.
Meanwhile, Imperial Noble Consort Xie was confronting the leader of the Dark Moon Pavilion.
From Su Yan's perspective, she saw Ye Qingzhu holding a knife to the nineteenth prince's neck.
Ye Qingzhu looked at the Imperial Noble Consort with a smile on her face, her eyes filled with disdain and mockery, "Your Highness, the Xie family is not qualified to take the throne of Great Liang."
The Imperial Noble Consort was trembling with rage and said to Ye Qingzhu, "Your Dark Moon Pavilion is incredibly audacious, daring to plot and usurp the throne."
Ye Qingzhu looked at the Imperial Noble Consort with a cold smile, "Your Highness, it was not us who plotted to usurp the throne, but your Xie family. The Dark Moon Pavilion was merely trying to uphold justice and restore peace to the world."
The Imperial Noble Consort chuckled, "Peace? Your Dark Moon Pavilion has committed countless atrocities, burning, killing, and looting. If it weren't for our Xie family covering for you, you would probably be dead. Aren't you afraid that today's events will be recorded in history and condemned for eternity?"
"Your Highness, you are mistaken. History is always written by the victors. Today, the world will sing praises of the Dark Moon Pavilion's merits, while your Xie family will only be seen as villains who plotted to usurp the throne..."
The Imperial Noble Consort was so angry her teeth itched. Her gaze towards Ye Qingzhu was filled with rage, as if she wanted to devour her flesh to vent her hatred. "You..."
Seeing the Imperial Noble Consort's discomfiture, Ye Qingzhu's lips curled into an even more triumphant smile. He increased the pressure on her hand, forcing the Imperial Noble Consort to surrender.
"Your Highness, put down your weapons at once, or I will spare your Xie family a complete corpse, or I will send your son to meet the King of Hell right now."
The nineteenth prince was only eight or nine years old, and he was terrified in this situation. He cried out to the Imperial Consort, "Mother, save me..."
