Chapter 51 Weird Old Man



A month ago, they had a falling out over this issue and were in a cold war for a long time.

Qing Yue frowned, put down what she was holding, turned to look at Feng Ling and said, "Feng Ling, why do you always want to know what deep hatred there is between Chu Yan, Qing Yue, and me? Isn't it enough for you to just know that our goals are the same? Why do you have to dig into the details?"

Feng Ling frowned deeply. It wasn't that he had to get to the bottom of Qin Wan, but there were simply too many strange things about this woman.

She was clearly an abandoned daughter of a noble family who grew up in the countryside, but she possessed superb medical skills, not to mention the archery skill that she shot ten rings with in the Princess's residence today, which actually surpassed Qing Yue, the legitimate daughter of the Qing family, and the big show in the Pear Garden.

"You were the director of the big show at the Pear Garden today, Qin Wan, do you know something?"

Feng Ling's eyes shot straight at Qin Wan in front of him like sharp swords, staring at the expression on her face.

Qing Yue knew that Feng Ling was smart and could also figure out some things from clues.

If she wanted to gain Feng Ling's trust, she had to come up with something that he could trust, but how could she tell him about her situation?

Qing Yue pursed her lips and fell silent.

Feng Ling saw her reaction like this, anger and annoyance welled up in him. He heard his cold voice, "Qin Wan, if you keep hiding things, refusing to tell me anything, and only using medical skills to bind and threaten me, then I won't fall for it. Also, you probably don't understand me very well. I hate being threatened the most in my life.

Qin Wan, I will give you one day to think carefully about whether you want to be honest with me. If you still refuse to tell me anything, then I will give you a letter of divorce now without waiting for two years."

Feng Ling said this with a sullen face, then turned and left the pharmacy.

The door slammed shut.

Qing Yue frowned. She had known for a long time that Feng Ling was not someone who would accept threats, but she thought that he valued his life after all, and that she should be able to cooperate with him. However, it seemed that it was not possible. He was doubtful and wary of her, and that was why she was even more worried.

But how should she say it?

The relationship between her and Feng Ling was already weak and they did not trust each other.

She has always been tough, but Feng Ling seems unwilling to compromise. This is a dead end unless someone gives in first. Now it seems that Feng Ling is giving her an ultimatum.

Give her the divorce papers now?

Oh!

Feng Ling only said these harsh words because he saw that she was surrounded by enemies, not only had she offended Chu Yan, Qing Yunyao, the Qing family, but also the Queen in the palace and so on. He was sure that she could not leave the identity of Princess Yu, so he said this.

squeak.

The squeaking sound of the little mouse in the cage brought Qingyue back to her senses.

She shook her head, calmed herself down, and began to test the poison with concentration, noting down the ingredients in the blood.

This is a very tedious and meticulous job, requiring repeated experiments, using poisons, detoxification, and refining...

Qingyue didn't take out the prescription the whole afternoon.

Prince You's Palace.

After Qing Yunyao returned home, she was in great fear. She was terrified that the secret she had hidden for many years would be discovered.

Brother Ayan stayed with her for quite a while until his subordinates reported that they had something to deal with, and then he got up and left.

Inside the house, light and shadow flickered.

Half of Qing Yunyao's face was hidden in the shadows, and her eyes were cold.

After a while, she stood up, put on her outer robe, and called her personal maid to come forward and said, "When the prince comes, tell him that I have returned to the Qing family and should be back in the evening. Don't worry about me."

The maid wanted to follow, but Qing Yunyao directly refused. She also did not allow Mo Feng and Mo Yu in the dark to follow her, and left the house alone.

After Qing Yunyao left the house, she headed straight for Honggu Valley in the north of Beijing.

Walking further in, there are rugged rocks and pairs of cypress trees. In the center of the valley, two thatched houses are hidden.

Qing Yunyao walked to the door of the hut with one foot light and one foot heavy, and knocked on the door.

"who?"

A hoarse and cold voice came from inside the house.

Qing Yunyao shuddered, "Master, it's me, Yao'er."

"Come in."

The hoarse voice sounded again.

The door creaked open, and Qing Yunyao pushed it open as she entered. Then she heard the hoarse voice say, "Close the door and don't let the sunlight in. My little darlings can't stand the light."

Qing Yunyao hurriedly turned around and closed the door.

But the room was dark, with only two candlesticks emitting a faint light. The room was filled with blood and stench. There were many sealed jars in the room, lined up in the corner.

An old man was squatting in the corner of the house, fiddling with something.

"Why are you here today? Didn't you say not to come unless you have nothing to do?"

The old man's hoarse voice sounded, and then he stood up, revealing a face wearing a ghost mask. In the dim environment, when you take a sudden look at it, you will be shocked.

Qing Yunyao only took a glance and then looked away. She hurriedly said, "Master, Yao'er knows you don't like being disturbed, but something really serious has happened, and Yao'er has no choice but to disturb you."

"What's up?"

The old man asked.

His voice was sinister, and the mask with a ghost face on it made him look even more terrifying.

"Master, what happened three years ago has been discovered... Qingyue, she, she may not be dead."

Qing Yunyao gritted her teeth.

She was so panicked that she didn't know what to do except to come to her master.

When I close my eyes, all I see is the drama at the princess's mansion, with the same lines.

"You said the little girl from the Qing family is not dead?"

The old man's voice seemed hoarse with a hint of surprise.

"Tell me what happened in detail."

He said.

So Qing Yunyao hid nothing and told every detail of what happened at the eldest princess' birthday banquet.

"Master, I don't know if someone saw Qingyue die three years ago from the shadows, or if she was lucky enough to fall off the cliff and survive and be rescued. But anyway, she came back for revenge... Master, if the news gets out that I'm Qing Yunyao and killed Qingyue and replaced her, I'll be finished. Master, you have to help me."

Qing Yunyao spoke in panic.

"After all these years, you still haven't made any progress. Why are you so anxious?"

Then I heard the old man shouting.

Qing Yunyao suddenly didn't dare to say anything. She stood there with her shoulders hunched and her head lowered.

"Whether that girl from the Qing family lives or dies, why did she wait three long years before appearing? It must be because she couldn't show herself to others. Besides, even if she did appear, what would it matter? Now you are the eldest daughter of the Qing family, and you are the Princess of You. If she dares to show up, you will have ten thousand ways to kill her.

Yao girl, you only need to remember one thing: you are Qingyue, the current Princess You. Your face represents your identity."
