"Yes!"
Prince ng pondered, then asked the butler beside him, "Butler, how long has it been since Ninth Sister last regained consciousness?"
"In response to Your Highness, it has exactly been thirty-one days!"
Prince ng let out a long sigh, then looked at Dong Huiying, frowning severely, "Regardless of your true identity, regardless of how much truth there is in your words, since it involves Xiao Shiyi and Senior Master Huixin, it seems you can only accompany on a trip!"
"Eh?"
At the sa ti, Imperial Doctor Li quickly rushed to a bookshelf on one side of the study room; behind this bookshelf was a hidden chamber. When the chamber opened, soone identical to Prince ng in height, appearance, and deanor walked out of it.
Dong Huiying imdiately noticed that the other party had used a face-changing technique, and it was quite masterful.
"Your Highness!"
This person knelt on one knee before Prince ng, and Prince ng instructed, "Have soone else disguise as Senior Master Huixin. Butler, Imperial Doctor Li, accompany the two of us on this trip."
"Yes!"
After that, Prince ng glanced at Dong Huiying and then walked straight into the hidden chamber.
Within this chamber, there was another secret passage, which led directly to the Imperial Palace.
However, shortly after entering this passage, Dong Huiying felt her eyelids growing heavy. She wasn’t prone to drowsiness lately, almost forgetting about it, "Your Highness..."
Prince ng turned around to see the old nun swaying unsteadily.
"I might..." she said with a bitter smile, "need to take a nap." As she spoke, she collapsed to the ground.
Prince ng: "???"
What is this situation?
Before falling asleep, Dong Huiying was quite worried, hoping she’d wake up again, hoping she wouldn’t be rcilessly slain in her sleep!
anwhile, not to ntion the abrupt "sleep" of Dong Huiying, nor the reactions of Prince ng and others. At the sa ti in the Imperial Palace, when Yun Long struggled to carry Yun Shuihan into the Imperial Study Room, he only had ti to call out for the Eighth Princess’s help before fainting.
Both master and servant were severely poisoned, and the Eighth Princess felt deeply alard. Given Yun Shuihan’s esteed status, she absolutely couldn’t die on her territory. After calming down, the Eighth Princess imdiately had soone notify Yun Shuihan’s father, the Grand Elder of dicine Valley.
In the Dayuan Territory, there are a few families with a legacy of hundreds of years. Their ancestors produced many officials and ministers, and even though in later generations fewer of their descendants entered officialdom, their influence cannot be underestimated.
Currently, the heads of these families are precisely those whom the Eighth Princess most fears. Just like Prince ng, if he didn’t have inextricable ties with one of these families, the Han family, which staunchly supports him, he might have already fallen victim to the Eighth Princess’s sches.
The Grand Elder of dicine Valley, nad Yun Zhe, married into the Lian family as the main husband of the Lian family head. After the Lian family head passed away, Yun Zhe, being ambitious, annexed the Lian family, making it his own.
At the sa ti, Yun Zhe and the Lian family were among those who supported the Eighth Princess’s bid for power back then.
When Yun Zhe received the ssage from the palace, he was shocked. He had practiced poison skills that damaged his foundation, making it difficult to have children. It wasn’t until his forties that he had Yun Shuihan, his precious late-born daughter. Upon learning that Yun Shuihan’s life was hanging by a thread, Yun Zhe was first furious, then deeply worried, and he imdiately entered the palace secretly.
"Why is this poison so complex?"
"Cloud Elder, is there a way to cure this poison?"
"For now, I can only preserve Hanhan’s life. This poison requires more study."
