"Are you sure that Li Han will definitely die?"
Although Xie Su reported to Hua Yunyun that he had succeeded, she was still skeptical. It was not that she didn't believe it, but she was a little worried.
"Of course, I have poisoned the knife. Once it cuts her skin, the poison will spread instantly throughout her body. It won't be long before she dies of the poison." Xie Su said expressionlessly, his tone sounding as if it had nothing to do with him.
"Poison? It won't take long. Do you know how skilled the imperial physicians are? How could a mere poison possibly kill Li Han? You're being too confident. Besides, the knife only pierced her shoulder, not her heart. If the poison is resolved, she'll be fine!"
Hua Yunyun's face changed and she pulled Xie Su's clothes excitedly. She suddenly felt that Xie Su was too unreliable. Li Han saved the queen by accident. Based on this point, as long as Li Han returned to the palace, the emperor would definitely do his best to treat her. In this way, wouldn't all her carefully planned plans be in vain!
Xie Su pulled away Hua Yunyun's excited hand, straightened his clothes, and said calmly, "Don't worry, this is a deadly poison I accidentally obtained while participating in a mission in the Western Regions. This poison is only found in the Western Regions, and the antidote is extremely difficult to find. Generally, anyone who is poisoned by this poison will die!"
"Are you serious?"
"Of course. Are you doubting my ability?"
Hua Yunyun's mood suddenly became relaxed, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up, and she was very satisfied with Xie Su: "Very good, I was right about him!"
"Li Han, I want to see what kind of trouble you can cause this time!" Hua Yunyun murmured.
Hua Yunyun's mind was full of thoughts that Li Han was going to die and would soon disappear from her and Lu Li's world. Then, Lu Li would no longer pity her, and from then on, she would be the only one by her brother Li's side. As long as she stayed with Lu Li, she could erase Li Han from his memory, leaving only her, and she would get all of Lu Li's love.
When she thought of this, Hua Yunyun wanted to rush to Lu Li's side immediately and watch Li Han slowly walk towards death.
"When I was trying to escape, I was discovered by Du Jian and he chased me. He even tore off my veil. Although I immediately spread smoke, I'm not sure if he saw my face!" Xie Su said to Hua Yunyun with some concern.
As a killer, Xie Su is naturally not afraid of death, but he is just a killer. He has his own ideals and burdens. He has finally escaped from the pain of unfulfilled ambitions, and he does not want to sacrifice his life easily.
"Du Jian? Why is he there too?"
Hua Yunyun felt a little strange when she heard that Du Jian was also in the place of prayer. Although she knew that Li Han and Du Jian knew each other, it was impossible that Du Jian would catch up with Xie Su as soon as he left. If he didn't happen to be doing business there, then he must have gone there specifically for some purpose. The more Hua Yunyun thought about it, the more confused she became, so she thought about finding an opportunity to investigate thoroughly.
"Besides Du Jian, did anyone else discover you?" Hua Yunyun asked.
Xie Su shook his head to indicate no. "However, when I was escaping, I discovered that there seemed to be three different teams tracking me down."
Three teams?
Hua Yunyun seemed to be lost in thought. Apart from Du Jian, the Queen and their men, the rest should be Lu Li's own people. Thinking of this, Hua Yunyun couldn't help but frowned. She didn't expect Lu Li to go to such lengths for Li Han. The anger and jealousy in her heart towards Li Han became more intense.
"Okay, I get it. Don't worry, nothing will happen. As long as you follow me obediently in the future, I will definitely protect your life." Hua Yunyun patted Xie Su's shoulder and said lightly: "If you have any other intentions, I will naturally find a thousand ways to make you live a life worse than death!"
When Hua Yunyun said this, there was an obvious threat in her words. After all, a killer is not a dead man. Once caught, if he can't stand the torture, he will definitely give out the person who hired him in order to protect himself. Although Hua Yunyun believed in Xie Su's tenacity, he believed more in Lu Li's cruel methods. No matter who fell into his hands, it would be worse than death. Even Xie Su, a tough guy, might not be able to hold on.
Xie Su could naturally hear such explicit advice, but he was not angry. After all, every employer who hired a killer would have such thoughts, and he was not surprised.
Xie Su replied calmly: "Of course!"
Hua Yunyun was very satisfied with Xie Su. There was no need for much talk between smart people. After all, each was a stepping stone for the other. As long as they could achieve their goals, nothing else mattered.
She extended her hand to Xie Su and said, "In that case, we are now on the same page. If there are any tasks in the future, I will come to you and will definitely not bury your talent!"
"It's a pleasure working with you!" Xie Su also extended his hand, and the two shook hands with a smile.
"Oh right, I have something for you to do. Although the poison in Li Han's body is difficult to cure, it is not unsolvable. The imperial physicians in the palace will definitely find out about it, and Lu Li will definitely try every possible means to find an antidote. What you need to do is to do your best to stop Lu Li and make sure he doesn't find the antidote!"
"Okay, I'll do it right away," and then Xie Su left.
Hua Yunyun knew how important Li Han was to Lu Li, and Lu Li would definitely save Li Han at any cost. She would never let this happen, so she had to organize it. It would be best if Li Han died when Lu Li was not around, so that she would feel relieved.
In the palace, all the doctors in the Imperial Hospital were summoned by the Queen. All the doctors in the room were frantically looking through documents and preparing the antidote. Even without the Queen's order, they dared not delay for a moment, after all, human life was at stake.
The queen also sat anxiously awaiting the results. After a while, an imperial physician excitedly shouted, "We've found it! We've found it! This poison is a strange one from the Western Regions. It only takes a tiny amount to penetrate the body through the skin. When the poison takes effect, the victim will suffer excruciating pain that will eventually lead to death!"
As Hua Yunyun expected, the people in the Imperial Hospital really found the poison. The Queen looked at Li Han's painful appearance with a worried look on her face, her eyes full of reluctance. After hearing the good news from the imperial physician, she hurriedly asked: "Since you know what this poison is, then prepare the antidote as soon as possible!"
Knowing what the poison was, everyone was excited about the news, but the imperial physician's next words poured cold water on everyone present.
The imperial physician flipped through the medical book and said slowly, "The book says that this poison has no antidote in the Central Plains because several medicinal herbs are only available in the Western Regions and are extremely rare!"
