Chapter 80: Schadenfreude
Qiao Wanyan did not stop because of his call. Yun Heng didn't care about anything else and chased after her faster than his legs to stop her.
"Wanyan, I didn't know it was you. Don't be angry, it's my fault. I shouldn't have spoken to you like that."
Under the bright moon, silver light sprinkled on the earth. Qiao Wanyan's pupils were filled with the charming moonlight. Hearing these words, she looked up at him with a slightly guilty expression.
"Who came to see you?"
Yun Heng did not hide anything and told the truth.
Qiao Wanyan understood that Lu Jinye had come here. She guessed that he wanted to get the antidote for the mother-child Gu from Yun Heng, but why would Yun Heng give it to him now?
"What do you want to talk to me about? It's cold outside, let's go inside and talk first."
Qiao Wanyan did not refuse. She originally wanted to get something shady from Yun Heng, so naturally she didn't want to talk about it casually in public.
She doesn't know any martial arts, so how could she know if someone was hiding somewhere?
What if that bastard Lu Jinye hasn’t left and is still watching outside?
"I want to ask you a favor."
"you say."
Qiao Wanyan said: "I want a poison that won't kill me immediately after taking it."
Yun Heng glanced at her, said nothing, and turned back to the inner room. After a moment, he came out with a small porcelain bottle in his hand.
"Zanxin. If you take the antidote once within half a month, you can survive. Otherwise, you will die in three days as if your heart was eaten by insects. The red one in the bottle is poison, the three black antidotes are life-extending, and the white one is an effective antidote."
Qiao Wanyan asked, "Why don't you ask me why I need poison?"
Yun Heng said, "It's probably for Lu Jinye, right? He's not very obedient, but the mother-child Gu is enough. If you're worried, give him this to put your mind at ease."
She came not long after Lu Jinye left. I guess she came because she knew Lu Jinye was coming.
Qiao Wanyan did not explain. Since he felt that he was taking the poison for Lu Jinye, it saved her a lot of explanations.
"He is indeed disobedient. For some reason, if I don't use the mother-child Gu on him, he will kill me."
Yun Heng turned around and went into the inner room again, and came out after a moment with a small porcelain bottle.
"I have never liked developing poisons. This was developed a few years ago but has never been used."
Yun Heng handed her the small porcelain bottle in his hand and said, "Eat this. You won't die, but you will be in a state worse than death within three hours."
Qiao Wanyan blinked, a hint of anticipation burning in her eyes.
"Isn't this too bad? It's too torturous..."
Yun Heng was silent for a moment, then said with a smile: "Wan Yan, the anticipation in your eyes is about to overflow."
Qiao Wanyan: “….”
Is it that obvious?
Qiao Wanyan returned with a full load. He originally just wanted to get a poison for Liu Yanran to make her shut up, but he never expected that he also got a bottle of poison for that wolf cub Lu Jinye. It was really a bargain for him.
I care about him so much, but he doesn't know how to be grateful. He is such a bad dog!
As for Liu Yanran, it would not work to just give her a sugar pill. Liu Yanran's father was a famous doctor in Yongzhou, and she also knew some medical skills, otherwise she would not have taken such good care of Qiao Yihuan in Yongzhou.
If the poison was not really given, she would definitely be able to detect it. Even if she couldn't detect it, she could still find out by asking a doctor to take her pulse.
If you don't use the ready-made poison, you'll just be asking for trouble.
The cold wind blew on her face, and Qiao Wanyan pulled her fox fur cape tighter. She lowered her head and looked at the snow, which was shining brightly under the moonlight, with a myriad of thoughts in her mind.
What exactly is the 23rd century that Liu Yanran mentioned?
What is modern man?
Novels, car accidents, these words were something she had never heard of in her life.
Liu Yanran is not from Jiuzhou, so where is she from?
god?
When Qiao Wanyan thought of this, she dismissed the idea almost instantly. How could God be so stupid?
Even God can only fall headfirst to the ground.
Before Qiao Wanyan returned to the yard, she saw Lu Jinye. She stopped, stretched out her hand and hooked at him, indicating Lu Jinye to roll over.
"After not seeing you for a few days, have you forgotten that you are just my dog? I saved your life, so you should just wag your tail and beg for mercy to me and protect my safety."
Lu Jinye lowered his eyes and looked at her, with no warmth in his eyes.
As always, he kept a distance-free attitude.
"When we set out for Pharmacist Valley that day, you were clearly nearby but you deliberately didn't save me. Did you know that it was the people from Pharmacist Valley who kidnapped me?"
Lu Jinye didn't say anything, and Qiao Wanyan continued, "You wanted to go to the Pharmacist Valley to get the antidote for the mother-child Gu, so you deliberately let me get kidnapped so that you could secretly follow me and find the entrance to the Pharmacist Valley."
Qiao Wanyan reached out and pinched Lu Jinye's chin, using so much force that his chin turned blue and white.
She sighed softly, "What a pity, you useless thing got lost and can't get in. Yun Heng is my friend now, he will never give you the antidote."
Qiao Wanyan patted his cheek and said, "But don't worry, I won't get angry and kill you. I'm too timid to kill anyone, so I can only make your life worse than death."
Lu Jinye was silent for a long time before he finally spoke, sarcastically saying, "Master is so kind."
Qiao Wanyan suddenly smiled, and her smile was full of warmth like the spring sun breaking through the ice, spreading out an endless and intoxicating glow, bright and dazzling.
"Yeah, that's what everyone says."
Qiao Wanyan turned and left. After walking a few steps, she suddenly remembered something and turned to him and said, "By the way, you will be on guard outside today. Kneel down and keep watch."
When she returns to the capital, she will appreciate how Lu Jinye was tortured to the point where his life was worse than death.
Now, she still has important things to do.
Lu Jinye glanced in the direction of Liuguang Pavilion and suddenly said, "I hope the master can sleep well tonight."
Qiao Wanyan walked back and slapped him, "You dare to threaten me, I will teach you a lesson slowly when we return to Beijing!"
Lu Jinye watched her back as she left into the yard, a hint of gloating appearing in his eyes.
Qiao Wanyan didn't take the hot water bottle with her when she went out, and was delayed by Lu Jinye along the way, so she felt her fingertips were cold.
She quickened her pace after entering the yard, raised her hand to open the door but froze in place instantly.
He Zhiyu sat quietly on the armchair facing the door. His right hand was resting on the armrest, and his fingertips were tapping regularly. The faint sound was like the sound of a drum, which made people feel a little breathless.
The pair of ink-black eyes stared at her, their gaze deep and unfathomable.
Zi Yuan knelt on the side with her head lowered, not daring to breathe.
