"I'll give you this first. It's called 'Fleeting Youth.' After you eat it, you'll age quickly, so it won't be a waste of your time in this world. At least you can experience what it's like to grow old."
Mo Yu kept his lips tightly shut and refused to open his mouth no matter what. Qian Feng pinched his chin and fed him in.
"Now I'm going to give you this. It's called Bone Rust Water. After you eat it, it will erode your bones, causing immense pain. Your bones will gradually crumble and eventually turn into a pile of white bones, saving me the trouble of disposing of your body after you die."
After Mo Yu ate it, the sound of bones crunching could be heard throughout the cell. "Huh! The Dark Pavilion's poison is truly extraordinary!"
Mo Yu lay on the ground groaning, unable to move, because his bones were already shattered.
"Oh? You're in so much pain? Then take a Seven-Day Laughing Treatment, so this cell won't be filled with ghostly wailing and howling, it's too scary."
"Hahaha, ah! Hahahaha! Haha! Ah!"
"That's much better, tsk tsk tsk! It's just that your laugh is too awful."
Mo Yu's two sunken eyes were empty and lifeless, revealing a numbness and despair. His missing teeth made muffled sounds, but the sounds were trembling and groaning, sometimes crying and sometimes laughing, and were indistinct.
"Please...please...kill...me..."
A fishy liquid welled up in my throat and dripped from the corner of my mouth.
"Kill you? That would be too easy on you! Enjoy this feast!" Qianfeng patted Moyu's face and went back to report.
“Master, I have given him the Fleeting Beauty, the Water of Bone Rust, and the Seven-Day Laughter, and there are still several other poisons I haven’t used yet.”
"How is Mo Yu?"
Mo Zichen put down the account book in his hand and looked out the window. He had finally avenged his parents: Father and Mother, will you blame Chen'er? Will you blame Chen'er for taking so many years to avenge you? Will you blame Chen'er for neglecting Beiming Manor and handing it over to the murderers of your parents for so many years...?
"He's half-dead; I reckon he'll be dead by tomorrow morning."
"Alright, after tomorrow, throw his bones into the mountains. And this one, he was a servant of my parents when they were alive. Mo Yu has replaced many of them over the years. If they still recognize me as the master of the manor and want to come back, bring them back to Beiming Manor."
"Yes, Master, I will take care of it immediately."
"Let's do it tomorrow. It's getting late, and you're tired today. Let's get some rest."
"Yes, Master, you should also get some rest."
In the stillness of the night, a gentle breeze rustled through the grass, and the faint chirping of insects rose and fell in waves, melodious and pleasant. A bright moon hung in the night sky, surrounded by a few scattered stars that cast a soft glow.
Mo Zichen took out a brazier and lit sheets of paper and placed them in the brazier.
"Father, Mother, I have avenged you. Please forgive my self-destructive behavior over the years. My illness is cured, and my tuberculosis is also cured. It was An'an and Jingzhan who cured me. By the way, Father, Mother, I have found An'an. She is in the capital. She is the daughter of General Yan and the Princess of Yue'an of the Yue Kingdom. General Yan is now my godfather. They treat me very well. If you are watching from heaven, please don't worry about me. I am very happy now. I will manage Beiming Manor well."
...
"Miss, I'm back."
"How is it? Has Liu Xuening made any moves?"
Bai Zhi had already returned from the Minister's residence. She took out a small bottle from her sleeve and handed it to Yan An.
“Miss, this is the poison that Yue Zhixiao gave to Liu Xuening. I took some while Liu Xuening was with her mother, and I even used the gloves that you gave me.”
"Smart! Has Yue Zhixiao contacted Liu Xuening again?"
"No, ever since I started keeping an eye on Liu Xuening, I have never seen Yue Zhixiao send anyone to secretly communicate with Liu Xuening."
"You really are very patient." Yan An opened the bottle, poured out some powder, rubbed it in his hands, and then smelled it.
"Just as I thought, the Yin-Yang Harmony Powder. It seems that Yue Zhixiao's attempt to poison me failed, but he has his eye on my identity."
Yan An curled the corners of his lips and let out a soft chuckle.
When Bai Zhi saw her master's smile, she knew that her master had something good to give to Yue Zhixiao and Liu Xuening, and the two of them were going to be in big trouble!
"Bai Zhi, go to my senior brother's place and get these herbs." Yan An wrote down the required herbs on a piece of paper.
She wanted to give him a taste of his own medicine, but she didn't have the aphrodisiac that Yue Zhixiao could use.
The aphrodisiac she used last time only allowed Yue Zhixiao to unleash his true nature. This time, she was going to use it on both Yue Zhixiao and Liu Xuening. If ordinary drugs were so effective, Yue Zhixiao needed something more potent.
"This servant will go right away."
Inside Jirentang, Su Jingzhan held the prescription written by Yan An, unable to come to his senses for a long time, unsure whether to give him the medicine or not.
Each of the herbs on the list is an excellent choice for aphrodisiacs or love potions.
Now that they're mixed together, the effect is obvious. Using this drug would probably cause someone to explode and die. Could it be that it was used on Xiyuan?
"Oh no!" Su Jingzhan shouted.
"Dr. Su, what's wrong?"
"Ah? It's nothing, it's nothing. By the way, Bai Zhi, do you know what your young lady needs these medicinal herbs for?"
"I know, Yue Zhixiao and Liu Xuening are plotting against you, Miss. You should give them a taste of their own medicine."
Ah...it's not for Xiyuan, that's good! That's good! Su Jingzhan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
That's not right. Just a few of these medicinal herbs would be enough. Why do we need so many varieties? Could it be...?
Su Jingzhan seemed to have discovered a new continent: Yue Zhixiao was no good!
It can only be said that Su Jingzhan guessed correctly, but not entirely correctly...
"Wait here for a moment, I'll go get it for you."
"Thank you very much, Dr. Su."
A moment later, Su Jingzhan came out of the pharmacy carrying two packets of medicinal herbs.
"This package is what your young lady wanted. This package is a gift from me to your young lady. It will make your young lady's medicine twice as effective! Go quickly."
Bai Zhi returned to the Yan residence and handed both packets of medicine to Yan An.
"Why are there two packets?" Yan An could tell from the smell that one packet was the one she wanted, and the other packet was mostly the same as the medicinal herbs she wanted.
"It was Physician Su who asked me to give this to you. Physician Su said that this packet of herbs will make your medicine twice as effective."
That's absolutely true. If you put all these drugs together, Yue Zhixiao would be able to tear the roof off.
"Looks like I'll have to cook something nice to reward my senior brother sometime. You can close the door and leave now. Call me back for dinner."
"Yes, Miss."
Yan An, carrying the medicinal herbs, flashed into the space with her divine sense. "Let me mold you into what Yue Zhixiao likes, so he can be a real man for once."
