Chapter 285: Thousand Days of Drunk
In fact, this was a complete misunderstanding. The swordsman did have a grudge against Zhaojiabao, but he was poisoned in October. At that time, Zhaojiabao had already explained to him, found out the truth, and cleaned up the family.
He also stated in person that all grudges with Zhaojiabao were written off.
As a result, after he was poisoned, he forgot all those things and only remembered that Zhaojiabao had a grudge against him.
The story doesn't end here. More than a year later, the poison of the Thousand Days Drunk on the swordsman gradually disappeared, and he slowly remembered everything.
The other party didn't owe him anything, but he killed the other person's entire family. In the end, he committed suicide with guilt and regret amidst the condemnation of thousands of people.
Dugu Yu remembered that when his master learned that the swordsman had died, he was furious. He said that he was careless and had not expected the Thousand Days Drunk's poison to wear off early.
He said that if he had known earlier, he should have caught the man and carefully studied the characteristics when the toxicity began to disappear, so as to help him improve the efficacy of the medicine.
To his master, the Thousand Day Drunk was only a semi-finished product, its effects extremely unstable, and it was impossible to truly cause a person to lose their memory for three years. Later, his master even considered inflicting permanent amnesia, but it didn't work.
Including the forgotten memory, some people recovered it in just two years, while others could remember it all in more than a year.
However, this process was still too long for Ghost Saint. He did not have the patience to capture those who had lost their amnesia due to poisoning and study them one by one, so he threw the Thousand Day Drunk poison aside and went to study those torturous poisons that could have an immediate effect.
Dugu Yu looked at the palm of his hand, and his heart was greatly shaken, but he lowered his hand as if nothing had happened, as calm as if nothing had happened.
"I'm going to Yang's house."
Given the relationship between the prince and the old lady, it was only right for him to go to the wake, and Zhao Jinghan had no reason to stop him.
It's just that the prince doesn't remember many things now, and he doesn't know why he lost his memory...
"I'll go with the prince, you take good care of the princess!"
"yes!"
As soon as Zhao Jinghan left, Murong Ce arrived. The people in the palace had some complaints about Murong Ce because he had tricked the princess away, but after all, he was the prince's friend, so they didn't dare to be too presumptuous.
"I'm sorry, Master Murong, the prince is not at home, and the princess is ill and needs to rest. Please come back another day."
"I don't have time another day."
"But……"
"Don't you think your master wants to know who wants to kill the princess?"
housekeeper,"……"
"I really have something urgent to tell the princess. I'll leave after seeing her once. Don't worry, I won't do anything to your princess!"
Murong Ce rushed in after he finished speaking. The housekeeper couldn't stop him and shook his head helplessly, "What's going on? It's just causing trouble!"
Since Mo Rong Ce had a dark history, the people in the palace were very wary of him. The undisguised look in their eyes, looking at him as if he were a thief, made Murong Ce feel very uncomfortable.
However, when he saw Qin Qingyao lying seriously ill in bed, he had no time to care about the looks of the servants.
"Lend me the silver needle."
Just as Murong Ce reached out his hand to Doctor Hu, Bai Zhi rushed over and stood in front of Qin Qingyao's bed, "What are you going to do?"
"What do you think I'm going to do?"
Doctor Hu said, "Girl, please don't be rude. The military advisor's medical skills are superb. It is the princess's luck that he is willing to lend a hand. Why are you stopping him?"
Bai Zhi cursed Murong Ce a thousand times in her heart, but she didn't have the courage to say it out loud. Her eyes were full of distrust.
Murong Ce said, "I really want to help your princess. There are so many people in the palace. If I harm her, will I be able to leave?"
Doctor Hu looked at Murong Ce with a puzzled expression. Why did the relationship between the military advisor and the palace become so strange? Why did that little girl think he was going to harm the princess?
Qin Qingyao was really pricked by Murong Ce like a hedgehog. After sweating all over, she slowly woke up.
Bai Zhi was so excited that she almost cried, "Princess, how do you feel?"
Murong Ce put away the silver needle and asked, "Where is your prince? Why is the princess running away when she is so ill?"
Doctor Hu: “…”
Could you please stop bringing up things that are not related to the topic?
Qin Qingyao patted her still dizzy forehead vigorously, her memory slowly returning to her, and she froze in bed. Was that blood, those unbearable memories, real, or just a dream?
"Where's the prince? Is the prince back?"
Bai Zhi, "The prince came back after the morning court session, and then... went to the Yang residence."
"Old Madam~" Qin Qingyao lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed, but was stopped by Bai Zhi, "Princess, you are still sick, you can't go out!"
The most important thing is, Wu Gang and the others said that the Yang family wouldn't let you in at all. If you go there now, you don't know what you'll face. Wouldn't that just be a hassle for yourself?
"Help me get some clothes."
Qin Qingyao was not moved at all. She had to stay with the old lady. No matter what the Yang family did to her, she deserved it!
Murong Ce, "If I had known you were so stubborn, I shouldn't have saved you. Can you please take care of your own body?"
Qin Qingyao then noticed Murong Ce standing next to her. "Why are you here? You are not welcome in my home. Please leave!"
Qin Qingyao's cold words were like an ice knife stabbing into Murong Ce's chest, making him feel both painful and cold.
"I'm here to tell you that I've investigated those assassins and discovered they're disciples of a martial arts sect called the Cangshan Sect. I can have Dugu follow this lead. Even if he can't find the mastermind behind the scenes, at least he should wipe them all out and rid the people of this evil!"
Cangshan Sect, this is the name of the sect that Qin Qingyao had forgotten. Now, it is the most loyal and powerful force in Lin Xiafeng's hands.
Qin Qingyao rested her head on her knees and ran her fingers through her hair. She really wanted to dig out her brain and wash it. What had deceived her to make her naive enough to think that she had changed Mo Dacheng's fate?
She thought that if she helped him find out the truth of the past and untie his knot in his heart, he could become an ordinary person and live a normal life.
"How stupid! I am so stupid!"
"princess……"
In the end, no one could be more stubborn than Qin Qingyao. She was wearing plain clothes, and her face without makeup looked very pale. She also looked much thinner than she was three days ago.
Only then did Murong Ce know that the old lady of the Yang Mansion had passed away last night. He stopped trying to stop Qin Qingyao and hurried home to change his clothes and go to the Yang Mansion.
Before leaving, Doctor Hu pulled Murong Ce aside and whispered, "Military Advisor Murong, the prince is now..."
Murong Ce listened to Doctor Hu's account of Dugu Yu's condition as if he were listening to a story. Did he lose his memory? Or did he just forget all his memories of Qin Qingyao?
"Alas, the princess doesn't know yet. We really don't know what to say, nor do we dare to say it. The princess really can't withstand any more blows. Please take good care of the prince and princess in the Yang Mansion!"
"Don't worry, I will."
Fortunately, Military Doctor Hu did not know that Murong Ce had tricked Qin Qingyao out and almost killed her, otherwise, he would definitely not have told him the prince's condition without any concealment.
When Qin Qingyao arrived, the Yang Mansion was already hung with black curtains and white silk, and everyone coming in and out was crying bitterly.
The eldest lady of the Yang family was wearing mourning clothes and was standing at the door with several of her sons to kowtow to the guests who came in to pay their respects. When she saw Qin Qingyao appear, she suddenly stood up and rushed over to fight without caring about anything.
"It's all your fault, you jinx who killed the old lady. You still have the nerve to come here? Why don't you just go die!"
"Get out of here! You are not welcome in our Yang family! Get out!"
Qin Qingyao stood there without moving or saying a word, allowing the eldest lady to punch and kick him without fighting back. The guests in front of the door were whispering and pointing, looking at Qin Qingyao with eyes that were three parts curious and seven parts blaming.
Lin Xiafeng, dressed in white, came out of the yard and looked at Qin Qingyao with a sneer on his face. "I can't even kill you like this, you're really lucky!"
But it’s a good thing you didn’t die. I’d be happy to let you experience what it means to suffer.
"Qin Qingyao, the show is about to begin!"
Lin Xiafeng walked over and supported the eldest lady, saying with a heavy face, "Madam, please accept my condolences. This is Princess Wu Ling. How could she have killed the old lady?"
Lin Xiafeng's question rang true, echoing the question on everyone's mind: How was the old lady's death related to Princess Wuling? Wasn't she assassinated?
Madam Yang pointed at Qin Qingyao and screamed hoarsely, "That's her! She came to see the old lady yesterday and even asked her to go out with her in the middle of the night! If it weren't for her, how could the old lady have encountered an assassin!"
Lin Xiafeng covered her mouth in shock, seemingly unable to believe the truth. "Princess, why did you ask the old lady to accompany you out so late at night?"
Madam Yang rushed forward and gave Qin Qingyao a fierce push, forcing her to step back several steps before she regained her composure. "Tell me, what on earth were you doing in the middle of the night? Were you colluding with those assassins? Did you deliberately intend to harm our old lady?"
"Enough!" General Yang shouted angrily, frightening the Madam so much that she dared not say a word. "What a disgrace to make such a fuss!"
The eldest lady's face turned red. She knew that it was inappropriate for her to act like a spoiled child on such a serious day. She quickly returned to the children, knelt down again, and pretended that nothing had happened.
Qin Qingyao looked at Yang Tingxiao, his eyes full of pleading, "Brother Yang, I want to go in and accompany the old lady, is that okay?"
General Yang had dark circles under his eyes and bloodshot eyes, and he looked extremely haggard. In fact, he blamed Qin Qingyao at first, but his wife's beating and yelling just now made him regain some composure.
The old lady really liked the princess, and it wasn't entirely the princess's fault that she went out last night. Others didn't know, but she knew very well that they were going to the palace to find King Wu Ling.
Moreover, he himself was traveling with them. As a grandson, he failed to protect his own grandmother. How could he have the nerve to blame others?
