Chapter 627 Her Good Days Are Coming
She looked at Mianmian after she finished speaking.
Mianmian gave Dong'er another pill so she could recover faster.
Before long, Dong'er's poison was cured.
The assassin watched incredulously as the poison on Dong'er's body gradually subsided. "The poison is really gone..."
Little Mianmian clapped her hands and said, "What's the big deal? No matter how potent your poison is, it's no match for my mother's."
The assassin had no choice but to accept his fate.
Du Wanchun got up and sent someone to take Dong'er back to her room so she could rest.
Little Mianmian went along to take care of it.
Yi'er and Yu'er escorted the assassin to the front yard, where Du Wanchun was going to interrogate him thoroughly.
Mr. Yuan was worried about Dong'er, so he went ahead with Xiao Mianmian.
In the front yard, Du Wanchun deliberately dismissed the maids and servants, leaving only herself, Yi'er, Yu'er, and the assassin.
"Tell me, who sent you?" Yi'er asked the assassin in a cold voice.
He and Yu'er have always protected their mother. They weren't by Du Wanchun's side when she was in trouble in the past, but they just happened to run into her today.
The two boys were so eager to kill the assassin that they wanted to kill him.
Now that the assassin has found his sister, he naturally will not return to Nanyi. He truthfully replied, "She is the royal consort of the King of An in Nanyi."
Du Wanchun was not surprised, and then asked, "I have never met her before, why would she send you to kill me?"
The assassin recounted the grudges between the Guo and Zhou families in detail.
Yi'er and Yu'er, who were standing to the side, thought it was nonsense and both showed their disdain.
Yu'er, in particular, was a bit impatient. He stood up and said, "The Southern Barbarians have tried to harm our mother time and time again. We should let Third Uncle go and wipe them all out."
The assassin was originally from Xuan Yue Kingdom, so he did not have much objection to these words.
He said slowly, “Your Majesty, she not only sent me to assassinate you, but also sent me to assassinate the Third Prince of the Southern Barbarians.”
Du Wanchun raised her eyes and asked, "You mean Prince An's third brother?"
The assassin nodded. "I saw that he was young and couldn't bear to do it, so I spared his life and let him go."
Du Wanchun suddenly realized why A Ruo hadn't been completely wiped out; it turned out the assassin had spared his life.
The assassin continued, "Your Majesty, I keep my word. You saved my sister, and I'll do anything you ask. Even if it means going back and beheading that vixen, I'm willing."
Du Wanchun slowly stood up. "Never mind, you don't need to go."
Yu'er quickly stopped her, "Mother, are we just going to let that so-called vixen get away with it?"
Du Wanchun smiled gently and said to him, "What I mean is, there's no need for him to go. She has committed many evil deeds, and someone will take care of her."
Yu'er had always been very obedient to her mother since she was little, and nodded, half understanding.
Yi'er was much calmer, as if she had already guessed her mother's meaning.
The assassin was also confused. He was only focused on his sister's injuries and didn't dwell on the matter for long before begging Du Wanchun for mercy again.
"Your Majesty, my younger sister has been separated from me since she was a child. She knows nothing about what I have done. Please do not implicate her because of my affairs."
Du Wanchun's gaze softened considerably. "Don't worry, I've always been clear about right and wrong."
The assassin was relieved.
Once Dong'er's condition stabilized, Du Wanchun brought her and the assassin back to the palace.
Upon learning of this, Zhou Ruiyuan rushed over immediately.
If Du Wanchun hadn't stopped him, he would have drawn his sword and killed the assassin as soon as he entered.
Fortunately, upon hearing Du Wanchun's voice, he immediately calmed down.
The assassin was fortunate to have his good sister; otherwise, Du Wanchun would not have allowed him to leave the Yuan residence today.
In the country of Nanyi.
Guo was still waiting for good news from the assassin. These past few days, she had been dyeing her hair with herbs every day and had temporarily forgotten about her appearance.
However, her appearance underwent a dramatic change without her realizing it.
Prince An was the first to notice, "Madam, why does your face look different than usual?"
Guo was taken aback, and with a trembling hand she gently touched her cheek, saying nonchalantly, "Your Highness, you must be mistaken. My face looks exactly the same as always."
Prince An stared at her intently, "No, something's not right."
As a person ages, it's often not immediately apparent.
Guo became anxious and deliberately turned her head away, not wanting to look directly at Prince An.
Prince An withdrew his gaze, took a sip of wine, and said, "Never mind, perhaps I was mistaken."
Guo breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly saw Prince An off once again.
She rushed to the mirror and found that she had indeed changed; her eyes were slightly drooping and her eyes were not as bright as before.
The wrinkles around his mouth made him look even fiercer.
"My face!" Guo exclaimed in shock. "How did my face become like this? My face!"
She hurriedly rummaged through the drawer and pulled out the medicine bottle, only to find that the medicine inside was all gone.
"My medicine?!"
Guo looked flustered, as if she had lost her soul and was at a loss.
The peonies on Qilin Mountain were burned, and she had no medicine to treat them, so she could only wait to grow old day by day.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Guo gradually recalled how Prince An had looked at her with disdain, and her eyes were filled with fear.
Her good days are coming to an end.
