Hou ili did not want to be seen as arrogant or too timid. It would be an easy target for others to bully her later.
"May I know who you are?" Hou ili asked.
"I am the fourth prince’s woman." One of the won stated proudly.
Hou ili did not know why these won felt proud being a sex toy to soone like the fourth prince.
"I am sorry for not knowing your identity. I will ask the butler about you later. Can I have your nas?" Hou ili asked again.
The won seed to be startled when they heard Hou ili ntion asking the butler about them. Of course, they would be afraid. They knew that they were not that important. The maids did not have to greet or treat them with respect since they were at the sa level as the maids.
"There is no need for you to ntion us to the butler. He is busy handling the fourth prince’s mansion." The woman said.
"Oh... I see. So, can I go now? I have to clean His Highness’s bathtub. He is going to need it soon." Hou ili asked.
"Just go..." The woman waved her hands.
Hou ili nodded, turned around and walked away. She chuckled. Just like that, they backed off. What a coward.
She arrived at the place where she would have to do her work. The place was quite big. When she entered the place, she saw a few maids inside. The maids noticed Hou ili’s presence.
"You must be the new maid assigned to do the work here." The maid smiled.
Hou ili saw the smile and understood the aning behind it.
"You can start working right now." The maid said.
Then, they left the place while laughing. Hou ili knew that they needed to work together, but they dared to drop everything to Hou ili because they wanted to bully the newbie. Well, Hou ili did not mind working alone. It would be better for her.
So, she started working. While she was working, she observed the area. She was not a normal poison master who just poisoned others and left the scene. She studied the prey first. She would use the things that the prey used to poison the prey.
The bathtub was very good. She would put sothing in the bathtub later. When the fourth prince took his bath, he would stay in the bathtub for quite so ti. Maybe for one to two hours. Then, he would get out. The water would be thrown away.
After three days of observation, Hou ili had had enough. She felt she did not need to do any observation. The fourth prince was really free. He spent his whole day with won, entertainnt, and food. He did not even bother to cultivate at all. What a waste.
Hou ili did not want to stay here anymore. Both maids who had been assigned to work together with her dumped everything on her. Ti to end it.
After cleaning the bathtub, she sared her poison on the wall of the bathtub. So, when the maid poured the water for the fourth prince, the poison mixed with the water. So, the fourth prince steadily entered the bathtub. Seeing this, Hou ili smiled.
She packed up her things and left. She sneaked out of the mansion. The maid who lived with her noticed that Hou ili had gone missing. So, she went to the butler to report the matter. However, the butler did not pay much attention to that matter. He did not care about the single and unimportant maid. Well, later, he would regret his decision.
The poison that Hou ili applied would not show imdiate effect. It would stay for two months in the fourth prince’s body before it started to break down and cause harm to the fourth prince. This way, the fourth prince would not be able to find a trace of poison because it had been a long ti since the poison entered his body.
Hou ili appeared at the third prince’s courtyard. She looked around and frowned. She did not know why the third prince still wanted to live here despite its condition. She also did not understand why her lord still wanted to hold the identity of the third prince. However, she did not dare to ask the questions since it was not related to her.
"You ca." Hou Tingguang said.
"Hmm... Where is The Lord? I want to give my report." Hou ili stated.
"You can go inside." Hou Tingguang said.
Hou ili nodded and walked into the room. Lord Yueliang was looking at the paper.
"My Lord." Hou ili knelt down.
"Hmm... How is your task?" Liu Longwei asked without looking at Hou ili.
"All done. Just need to wait for two months." Hou ili said.
"Good." Liu Longwei smirked.
"Stand up and co over here." Liu Longwei stated.
Hou ili followed the order and stood up. She stepped closer. Liu Longwei gave the paper that he had been reading earlier to Hou ili.
"From the list of ingredients, what kind of cure for the poison can you think about?" Liu Longwei asked.
Hou ili scanned the docunt. She was surprised. Most of the ingredients in this list were rare items. So, it was a cure for a poison. As a poison master herself, she had seen a lot of poisons and also studied their cures.
