Chapter 23 Disguise



Although Nan Qu's attention was focused on decorating her own little shop, Long Wei's habits made her subconsciously collect information about the place.

She knew nothing about the Kingdom of Yueyun except through gossip and idle chatter. However, she had witnessed the darkness of the imperial harem and experienced the struggle for the throne.

She witnessed firsthand how the old emperor groomed his successor. She could glean insights into the king of Leyun Kingdom's thoughts simply from snippets of conversation.

All eyes turned to Taya, but at this moment she had not even accepted that her father did not love her, so how could she bring herself to kill him?

Nan Qu looked at Taya and finally sighed. If she were that kind of person, she probably would have stayed far away from her long ago.

“In that case, find allies. You can’t bring yourself to kill your father, but someone else can. I remember there’s a younger brother of yours locked up in the dungeon.”

Taya stared wide-eyed at Nanqu. At this moment, she was completely at a loss and unable to make any decision.

Nan Qu said, "That guy named Leo. If you support him, he'll know you have no ambition to become queen. Besides, he knows me, so even if he has great ambitions, he won't dare to easily invade your territory in the future."

Furthermore, are you truly content to accept that the one your father protected ultimately inherits the throne?

How could Taya accept this?

Some things really shouldn't be thought about too much. If she looked back, she would realize how foolish she had been.

Taya clenched her fist: "Okay, I'll go find Leo now."

Nan Qu stopped her: "Take the antidote first, and so does Charles. Of the three of you, only Oliver is not poisoned. After you take the antidote, I will go to the dungeon with you. If they are also poisoned, I will give them the antidote first."

Taya took the pills that Nanqu had given her without hesitation.

Xia Er gave Nan Qu a complicated look, and then ate as well.

Seeing that the two had taken the pills, Nanqu immediately left and said, "Come out again when the antidote pills have taken effect in your bodies."

This antidote pill can cure all poisons, but it has a drawback: the poison will turn into gas and be released.

This is what is commonly known as farting.

Although the released gas is not toxic, it has a very unpleasant smell.

The three of them are close, so sharing the flavors is fine, but she didn't.

About ten minutes later, Taya and the other two came out looking grim. They looked at Nan Qu and hesitated to speak, but finally, with a slight blush on their faces, they gestured for Nan Qu to follow them into the dungeon.

Although they lived in the dungeon, Taya did not mistreat them, so they all looked quite healthy.

Nan Qu glanced at Leo and the others, then frowned: "They weren't poisoned. The person who poisoned them is still undetermined, so be careful."

Taya nodded.

Nan Qu looked around and thought that since they were discussing matters, she didn't need to stay here. So she picked up Regal, who was beside her, and put him in Taya's arms.

“We’ll split into two groups. I and Charles will handle the poison here, you and Oliver will discuss the plan with them, and I’ll leave Are to you. It won’t participate in your fight; it’s only responsible for your safety. Are is very sensitive to poisons, so the more it likes something, the more you need to stay away from it.”

After saying that, Nanqu still wasn't reassured and placed the antidote pill in Taya's hand: "Because we don't know who poisoned you, we're keeping it as a precaution to prevent you from being poisoned again."

Taya was startled by the sudden gravity, but the thought that she was now holding a giant dragon made her feel excited.

Hearing Nan Qu explain so much, Taya's eyes reddened: "Anna, you saved my life again."

Nan Qu smiled and said, "Anna is dead. The one standing in front of you will be called Nan Qu from now on."

Taya looked at Nanqu and respected her decision: "Alright, Nanqu, when I return, I will announce to the people of the territory that you will be my sister, Taya's sister!"

Nan Qu waved her hand, not really caring about it: "We'll talk about it when you come back."

After saying that, Nan Qu looked at Xia Er: "You should have something that represents the princess's absolute power, right? Take it with you and come with me."

Charles now had no complaints about Nan Qu. Although he didn't know who Nan Qu was, he knew that they now depended on her to change their destiny.

After the two left the dungeon, Nanqu said to Xiaer, "By order of the princess, everyone in the territory shall assemble in the castle square."

Patients who can walk should come by themselves. If they are unable to walk, two people should carry each person to this place. Each person will receive one silver coin on the spot.

If they weren't carried over because they were unable to walk, each person would be punished with 10 strokes of the cane.

Also, bring two more of the largest pots to the square.

Upon hearing this, Charles immediately replied, "Yes!"

Then I made the arrangements.

Nan Qu returned to her room and took out the antidote herbs from her spatial storage.

The ingredients for the Hundred Poison Pill are precious, and the space is very limited, especially the Snow Lotus, which is only given out once.

She didn't know how many people had been poisoned, and using that method would be too troublesome. Besides, she already had a general idea of ​​the antidote.

It can only be said that the world's drug use is still in its kindergarten stage. Nanqu doesn't even need to consider the ingredients of the poison to find the corresponding poison-counteracting relationships in order to make an antidote. Moreover, they all use very common medicinal materials.

However, apart from the time she lured Regal to the back mountain, she had never actually been there before, and she didn't know if the ordinary medicinal herbs in her space were the same in this world.

Looks like I'll have to go there soon.

Fearing that others would recognize her, Nan Qu simply used her spatial ability to disguise herself as a black-haired, black-eyed girl. Actually, Nan Qu wanted to be a young man, but unfortunately, she didn't have any men's clothes.
