As for the women in the Crown Prince's residence, they are much easier to deal with than Jiang Batian, that vicious wolf.
Moreover, she wanted to use this to get her mother's antidote, and then make the Crown Prince hate her so that he would be furious and depose her. Then she would be completely free. At that time, Jiang Batian would be powerless against her, and they would have no connection with the Jiang family anymore. The royal family would not let the Jiang family go, and even if they were to be executed, they would not be found. With this period of relief, perhaps the world would be different.
"Thank you, I know how to do it now."
Hai Ling twitched the corner of her lips and sincerely thanked her.
Xi Lingfeng cast a fleeting glance, so quick that it was impossible to catch his expression, then turned and left, disappearing in the blink of an eye, leaving only the words: "Shimei, you stay here to take care of the Fourth Madam."
"Yes, sir."
Inside the room, Shi Mei was slightly taken aback when she heard the master's order. Could it be that the master had really fallen for the Crown Princess? But this woman? Besides, she was to be married in ten days. If the master liked her, why didn't he take action? He wasn't the kind of person who cared about others.
Outside, Hai Ling blinked in amazement. Just how amazing was this man's lightness skill? He was even faster than her Fire Cloud Boots. No wonder he was unharmed when he exchanged blows with Bai Ye that night. Perhaps he hadn't used his full strength at the time.
A night breeze blew by, and Hai Ling suddenly woke up. She still had something to do: go find Liu Shi to get the antidote.
Hai Ling acted on her thought immediately. She went into the room and instructed Yan Zhi that she was going to the front to get medicine from Madam Liu.
Rouge's expression immediately changed, and she quickly stood up: "I'll go with you."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Shi Mei and said, "Please take care of the lady for us."
"good."
Shi Mei readily agreed. She was ordered by her master to stay and take care of the Fourth Madam, so naturally she wouldn't let her die.
Hailing knew about Shimei's abilities; not only was she skilled in martial arts, but she also seemed to be able to heal her mother so that she wouldn't be in any immediate danger.
"Walk."
The two, mistress and servant, left Qinfang Courtyard. Rouge led the way with a lantern, and they headed towards the courtyard where Madam Liu lived.
Halfway there, Hailing stopped and looked at the Seven Star Glass Bracelet. Yanzhi, not knowing what she was thinking, also stared at the Seven Star Glass Bracelet.
In the darkness, only two of the seven-star glass bracelets lit up, one red and one crimson; the other two remained unlit.
Hailin recalled the two previous times when the pearl lit up; it seemed that the pearl would light up whenever she desperately wanted something.
If she goes to see Madam Liu now, Madam Liu will probably not hand over the antidote easily. If she has poison, she can use poison to counteract poison and coerce Madam Liu into handing over the antidote.
With that thought in mind, he stared intently at the Seven Star Glass Bracelet.
Seven-Star Glazed Bracelet, Seven-Star Glazed Bracelet, now I desperately want the most potent poison in the world, can you give it to me?
She silently chanted in her heart, then stared intently at the Seven Star Glass Bracelet. After a long time without seeing the pearl light up, she became discouraged and lowered her head.
Suddenly, Rouge's voice rang out: "Miss, Miss, look! The pearl is shining! Another one is shining!"
The Seven Star Glazed Bracelet really lit up, and a dazzling yellow light shot out.
The red, crimson, and yellow colors together were incredibly beautiful. Hai Ling quickly opened the yellow pearl and found that the small space contained the poison she needed, and not just one type, but five different kinds.
Not only is there poison, but also an antidote.
The Five Steps to Death, Seven Deadly Powders, Death Pill, Bone-Melting Pill, and Thousand-Day Red are five ingredients in total. The first four are instantly fatal, but Thousand-Day Red is the most insidious. It does not kill immediately, but causes the whole body to swell and bleed, and the pain is like thousands of tiny needles piercing the heart. It will not kill the person in a short time, but will make the person suffer in agony until the lamp oil runs out and they die.
Globe amaranth is still extracted from saffron seeds. It is the treasure of the Cold Demon Palace and is used to punish those heinous and extremely vicious disciples or bad people. It is not usually used.
Hai Ling couldn't help but sneer when she saw this. This was perfect. Today, she would let Liu Shi taste the bitterness of the thousand-day red herb. She didn't want Liu Shi to die immediately because she still needed her to get the antidote for her mother's poison.
"Walk."
Hailing took the globe amaranth and, leading Rouge, headed straight for the courtyard where Madam Liu lived.
The courtyard where Lady Liu lived was the best in the entire General's Mansion, and it was very close to the main hall in front, so any matters in the mansion could be reported to her immediately.
The courtyard was completely quiet at this moment, without a sound. The servants had all disappeared.
However, the two old women guarding the gate were quite dutiful, sitting in front of the gate yawning and muttering to themselves from time to time.
As soon as Hailing and Yanzhi appeared, the two old women stood up with a wry smile: "Greetings, Third Miss. Does Third Miss wish to see Madam?"
Seeing Hai Ling's gloomy and unpleasant expression, the two women didn't know what had happened, but they guessed it must be related to the general's arrest. With the general imprisoned, they were probably the next ones to suffer, so who would have a good expression?
"Hmm." Hai Ling ignored the two old women, pushed them aside, and rushed inside with Yan Zhi and the other woman.
The two old women behind him opened their mouths as if to call out, but then held back. At times like these, it was better to avoid trouble.
What could the Third Miss possibly do when she went to see the Madam? So the two sat down again.
There were no servants guarding the door to Liu's room. With such an incident in the manor, and the Nine Yaoyu Guards surrounding the area, everyone was like a frightened bird. Who cared about their master anymore? They had all disappeared. This saved Hailing and Yanzhi a lot of trouble. Under normal circumstances, it would not have been easy to see Liu.
The two of them went up the steps and walked inside. They could faintly hear voices, which seemed to be Liu's voice.
Hai Ling exuded coldness, a chilling smile playing on her lips. "Liu Shi, how dare you poison my mother! Fine, no matter what, today I will make you taste the most painful poison in the world, the Thousand-Day Red."
In the room where Madam Liu was staying, Anxin was trying to persuade her master.
"Madam, don't worry, Master will be fine. Isn't the eldest young master out there right now? He will definitely return to the capital as soon as he gets the news."
Madam Liu leaned back on the couch, her eyes red, as if she had been crying. However, she had calmed down considerably. Thinking about it, it made sense. Her son now held a large army and was stationed at the border. If Feng Zixiao dared to touch the Jiang family, the Great Zhou Dynasty would be in jeopardy. She didn't believe he would actually dare to harm anyone from the Jiang family.
"Yes, I'm tired and want to rest for a while."
"Yes, madam."
Anxin responded and reached out to help Liu Shi up, but before she could get up, the door slammed open with a loud bang. Someone kicked the door open rudely, startling the two people inside. Liu Shi fell back onto the couch and looked up to see Hailing and her personal maid, Yanzhi.
