The old man in black's voice was hoarse in the dark, and his throat seemed to have been seriously injured, making a wheezing sound.
After hearing what the strange old man said, Qing Yunyao's heart, which had been in panic all afternoon, finally calmed down.
"But Master, I'm not sure Qingyue isn't dead, or maybe someone saw me killing her three years ago. If she was just seen, it would be fine. I could just kill that person. After all, no one would believe anything she says. But if Qingyue is still alive, Master, you know her medical skills are amazing, and Master is the Wushuang Elder..."
"So what?"
Before Qing Yunyao could finish her words, the strange old man shouted sternly.
He turned his head abruptly, his eyes grim beneath the ghost mask. "Didn't that old thing Wushuang die at my hands? Didn't you pierce his disciple's heart with your sword? If she dares to show up, I'll make sure she dies without a burial place."
The old man said sinisterly.
"I know what you're worried about. Are you worried that if that girl from the Qing family were still alive, she'd break the illusion on your face?"
Qing Yunyao's eyes flashed. This was the problem she was most worried about. Once she lost Qing Yue's appearance, she would be doomed.
"Hehehe... No, you can go back without worry. How can my Gu be broken so easily? When that old bastard Wushuang was alive, he looked down on me and gave all the good things he had to that unknown girl from the Qing family. I wonder how much of his skills that girl can learn, humph!"
The strange old man said with gritted teeth.
As he spoke, he picked up the dagger on the table and slashed his arm. Blood gushed out and dripped into one of the jars.
Qing Yunyao looked at this scene and turned away feeling uncomfortable.
"Then Master, what should I do next?"
Qing Yunyao asked nervously again.
She was really scared, but she couldn't find anyone to make decisions for her except her master.
"Next... you need to find out whether the girl from the Qing family fell off a cliff three years ago and was completely destroyed, or was she rescued? According to your suspicions, your recent mishaps are all related to someone named Qin Wan."
The strange old man asked.
Qing Yunyao nodded, "Yes, Master, I suspect it was her... She must have a close relationship with Qing Yue and knows the truth about what happened on the top of Luoye Mountain three years ago."
"Who is she?"
"There's a child from the Qin family who was raised out of the way since childhood. Now she's Prince Yu's consort. I've never heard of her before. It was only this year that Prince Yu canceled the marriage of the Qin family's eldest daughter and married her. Rumor has it that this woman is cowardly and timid, but after several interactions, she's completely different from the rumors. She also harbors great hostility towards Yao'er. Master, that's why I'm suspicious of her..."
"The youngest daughter of the Qin family, Princess Yu..."
The strange old man muttered twice and didn't speak for a long time. No one knew what he was thinking.
"Then go and test her to see what she knows and what her identity is."
"Master, how do I test it?"
Qing Yunyao asked.
"Just kill one of her relatives, she won't be able to sit still, hehe..."
The strange old man's voice was full of cruelty.
Qing Yunyao's pupils shrank slightly and she swallowed.
"Let's start with the second son of the Qing family."
The strange old man said casually, then stood up and took out a black porcelain bottle from the table next to him, threw it in the direction of Qing Yunyao, and said, "Dissolve it in water and feed it to him. It will be a life worse than death. If Qing Yue finds out that her second brother is in trouble, she will definitely show up."
"Master is wise."
Qing Yunyao hurriedly took it.
But a hint of hesitation flashed across his face again, "Master, Second Brother... Qing Zhan won't die, right? After all, he still protects me."
"If you don't want him to die, put less."
squeak.
The wooden door was opened again, and Qing Yunyao walked out. She squinted her eyes because of the sunlight outside. When she went in, she looked panicked and anxious, but when she came out, her face was calm, and there was no trace of panic on it.
Yes, what is there for her to be afraid of?
Even if Qing Yue was lucky enough to survive three years ago, so what? As long as she dared to confront her, she could kill her. Her master was her greatest confidence.

Prince You's Palace.
Qing Yue had been refining blood and hadn't left the pharmacy the entire afternoon.
A long list of medicine names was written on the rice paper.
Green Flame Grass, Black Gastrodia, Snow Bone Ginseng...
Each one is a top-notch precious item.
Qing Yue was truly shocked. She had never expected that these priceless and precious medicinal herbs could be detected in Qing Yunyao's blood. Even when she was still the legitimate daughter of the Qing family, with abundant resources, these herbs and ginseng fruits were still difficult to find. So where did Qing Yunyao get them from?
There is also toad liquid and Xuanyin grass...
Qing Yue continued testing until no other components were detected in Qing Yunyao's blood. She finally stopped what she was doing.
Three little white mice died in front of her. They died because they could not withstand the toxins in their blood.
Qing Yue looked at the contents on the rice paper carefully. All the names of the medicinal herbs were listed side by side. They looked extremely familiar. Suddenly, a name of the medicine jumped into her mind: Huanyan Dan!
Yes, she had seen the recipe of this pill in the medical classics. The Huanyan Pill could make people's skin delicate and their appearance beautiful. At least, they could look several years younger after taking it. She read it several times because of her interest. She even told her master that she wanted to refine a few pills for him to use. After all, he had many wrinkles on his face. However, she was punished by her master and made to eat more than a dozen bitter herbs.
But the Huanyan Pill can only make a person's appearance more beautiful, but it cannot change a person into another appearance, and there are toxins deposited in Qing Yunyao's body.
So someone must have tampered with the Huanyan Pill.
What happened?
Qing Yuehan had a cold face and thought carefully, but had no clue.
But what shocked her even more was who had refined the Huanyan Pill and, based on it, allowed Qing Yunyao to transform into her appearance?
This kind of medical or poison skills... seem to be superior to hers.
Thinking of this, Qing Yue was shocked.
If there really was such a person behind Qing Yunyao, then everything seemed to explain why she was quietly drugged three years ago, causing her to lose her virginity and become pregnant...with a child, and then be rejected by Chu Yan, who wanted to kill her.
There is also Feng Ling, and the seven-star begonia on his body must be related to it.
One more thing.
Back then, her master gave her a magical medical book and a magical poison book, and told her to put them away after reading them and not to let anyone else get them. He said that if these two things fell into the hands of people with bad intentions, it would bring disaster to the world.
She was naturally intelligent, having learned the entire book in just three years, then placed it in a box hidden behind a secret door in her boudoir. Could it be that Qing Yunyao had discovered these two classics without her knowing? Did she learn them herself, or did she give them to someone else?
The more Qing Yue thought about it, the more frightened she became.
No, she has to go back to the General's Mansion...
