Imperial Doctor Li’s heart suddenly skipped a beat. She had marked "Huixin" as a dangerous figure deserving close attention, oblivious to the fact that Dong Huiying’s mind was actually concerned with Yun Shuihan in the South Courtyard.
She was fiercely protective by nature. Regardless of the grievances between Yun Shuihan and Yun Ge, Yun Shuihan and Yun Long, those master and servant pair had gouged out one of Yun Ge’s eyes, and she felt compelled to make them repay with four eyeballs, or else the resentnt in her heart was difficult to release.
Moreover, there was another character in the palace, the Eighth Princess. She wasn’t a good person either, so she hadn’t forgotten to prepare a portion of her poison powder for the Eighth Princess.
"Hehe..." At the thought of this, several faces rotated in her mind, and she let out a sinister laugh, sending chills down everyone’s spine, truly eerie and terrifying.
Prince ng had his inconveniences; her residence was filled with all sorts of odd and miscellaneous characters. Prince ng and those close to her, like Imperial Doctor Li, were all well aware of this.
However, to avoid suspicion that Prince ng had been deliberately lying in wait over the years, even though they knew so people were very "problematic," they must feign ignorance. Otherwise, alerting these spies would be disadvantageous to Prince ng.
However, Dong Huiying had no such concerns. She was tasked with one thing: discreetly accomplish what she intended, clean up afterward, and prevent anyone from finding leverage against her. This way, it could be considered perfect.
Yun Shuihan had the reputation of a Poison Doctor, but Dong Huiying was the ancestor of poison use. She didn’t even regard the most toxic venomous creatures as a matter, let alone ordinary poison skills.
Two days later, once Dong Huiying had completed her poison powder, she was contemplating how to approach the South Courtyard. She needed to find an opportunity to apply the poison to Yun Shuihan and his master-servant duo.
However, these master and servant treated others coldly, usually keeping a low profile. Now, with her old arms and legs, she wasn’t agile enough; otherwise, she could have sneaked into the South Courtyard unnoticed.
She racked her brains, pondering with worry, yet found no good plan. Then, suddenly, like a mountain road turning, an opportunity presented itself to her.
On this day, unable to find Su Lang anywhere, her heart was full of frustration. Then she saw in the side courtyard, an elderly, white-haired doctor pointing towards the South Courtyard, saying: "I saw your retinue being taken into the South Courtyard by soone."
"Huh? He was captured?" This elder doctor never usually ddled in other people’s affairs, maintaining an appearance of self-preservation.
The reason the doctor voluntarily inford Dong Huiying today was that, whether it was serving als to Dong Huiying or preparing the warm, roasted hand and foot pan, it was all under Dong Huiying’s instructions that Su Lang helped the old doctor prepare a share.
Thus, Dong Huiying, too, received the reward for kindness.
Do not neglect doing small deeds of kindness or commit minor acts of evil. Perhaps the tis have changed, and the world isn’t as beautiful as imagined, but generally doing good deeds and showing goodwill can lead to unexpected turns of fortune, resulting in favorable outcos.
Dong Huiying hurriedly thanked the elder doctor and, based on his directions, rushed towards the South Courtyard.
Yun Shuihan and his servant had long dealings with poisonous substances, their temperants seemingly poisoned as well. Su Lang fell into their hands; Dong Huiying was genuinely worried, fearing she might be too late, unable to catch up.
