Qi Yun, who was in charge of overseeing the construction of the riverbank, had his guards patrol the sides of the riverbank day and night under the heavy rain. Bags of sand were sent over to block the riverbank, but the riverbank still seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
Mu Yunyao and co. arrived at River County's magistrate court. Upon entering, they saw the two people sitting upright in the main hall, King Yu and Prince Jin.
Wang Wang subconsciously looked at Yue Yang as he recalled the words that Prince Jin had said to his son, the Queen's legitimate son ... At the moment, he said unhappily: "Brother and Fourth Brother sure are impressive. We have been waiting here for almost an entire day." King Yu smiled as he bowed and greeted the servants by the side, "Brother is too polite. I did not know that brother and third brother would come over, if I had known earlier, I would not have gone to check on the situation in the city. I would have come here to wait for you. Can't you see that we're all wet? Hurry up and prepare some clean clothes ...
A shirt? Ah choo, oh no, third brother, I'm sorry. The weather seems hot, but the rain at night is pretty cold. Plus, we've just come in contact with a lot of epidemic disease patients, so it's easy for this one to be bad ... "
Wang Ben had already stepped forward to wait for King Yu and King Yue's salutations. When he heard these words, he hurriedly retreated back to his original position. He wanted to raise his sleeves to cover his mouth and nose, but felt that it was too impolite and could only restrain himself: "Quickly go and change your clothes, brothers of your own families, you don't have to care so much about formalities."
King Yu laughed."Then we'll go change clothes first. Please take a seat brother and third brother. We'll discuss the matter of the riverbank construction after we've changed clothes."
Mu Yunyao followed King Yue to the backyard. Suddenly, she felt a gaze land on her. She raised her eyes and met Prince Jin's gaze.
Noticing Mu Yunyao looking at him, Prince Jin smiled, "I really didn't think that your medical skills would be so good that you can even find a cure for the plague."
"I occasionally find out from others that this isn't a recipe that I came up with."
"Is that so? Then my luck is really good." Mu Yunyao retracted her gaze and subconsciously frowned: "At this time, the Lady Poison should have already been taken over by Prince Jin, right?" After getting familiar with the situation, she had once asked the woman why she had obeyed Prince Jin's orders. Back then, she had only smiled and didn't answer this question. 'Poison wife's body is full of poison! '
Although he had mastered both arts, he didn't want to display them in front of Prince Jin. Otherwise, Prince Jin's previous life would have been able to rise to prominence much faster.
When they returned to the room they had previously stayed in, someone had already prepared hot water for them. Si Qin and Si Qin carried the hot water into the room and Mu Yunyao instructed them to change clothes without having to wait on them.
Along the way, he didn't eat much. When the hot water smoked, he felt a little dizzy. Just as he was about to take a simple bath and get up, his feet suddenly went soft and he fell into the water with a splash.
Just as she was struggling to get up, a pair of ice-cold hands suddenly pressed down on her shoulders, forcefully locking her in place. Mu Yunyao shivered and turned around to look at her shoulder. She saw that the fingers on her shoulder were white and slender, but the nails were faintly gray. The pinky nail was gone, completely destroying the beauty of her hand. When she saw him clearly, the fear that had just risen in her heart suddenly disappeared. This was the person she hated the most ...
She had thought about the Poison Lady just now, but now she was here.
"You're still not letting go after taking advantage of me?"
The pair of ice-cold fingers stiffened slightly and pinched Mu Yunyao's shoulder before withdrawing it.
The room was silent, as if the hands from before had been an illusion.
Mu Yunyao sighed and struggled to move. She forcefully pulled her arm to the side and took out a pill from the pocket on her clothes to put in her mouth. After waiting for a while, she got up and wrapped herself in a cloth before taking her clothes to the back of the screen to change. When Mu Yunyao finished changing her clothes and came out, she saw that the clothes she had placed on the stool had been completely messed up. A tightly wrapped woman was sitting by the table, looking at a pill in her hand.
After he measured it a few times, his rough voice was like stones rubbing against each other."You look pretty."
Mu Yunyao sat on a chair on the other side with a natural expression, "Did you come to see how I look?"
The woman wore a veil that revealed only her eyes. Even though there were very few exposed skin, one could still see the scars on her face."I wanted to kill you initially, but I saw how pretty you are, so I decided not to."
"Oh." It was the same in her previous life. This was the first time she saw the Lady Poison, so she thought that the other side wasn't easy to get along with. Who knew that the other side would actually come over to express her goodwill and help her teach another of Prince Jin's concubines a lesson?
The woman held the pill in her hand."You made this yourself?"
"Hmm, is it okay?"
"No wonder the disease can be controlled so quickly. Where did you learn medicine from?"
"You might not believe me if I told you. I learned it from you in my previous life."
The Poison Matriarch was stunned for a moment before she suddenly laughed out loud. She abruptly stepped forward and pinched Mu Yunyao's face."Not only do you look promising, I also like your character."
Mu Yunyao took out a silver needle and pierced it into the acupoint on her chest before taking the pill and eating it. She glared at the Poison Matriarch, "If you really like it, don't take the opportunity to poison me!"
When the Poison Lady saw her actions, her eyes were filled with novelty."You are such an interesting person. Why don't you follow me? I promise you that I will protect your wealth and food, and that no one will dare to offend you."
Mu Yunyao put away the blackened silver needle, rubbed her chest and shook her head, "I'm also dressed in luxurious clothing and no one dares to offend me. Moreover, I still have my grandmother and mother to take care of and the one I love, so I don't want to go with you."
"What are you trying to find your sweetheart for at such a young age? Men don't have any good things, so be careful not to get tricked until your skin falls off."
"I have good eyes. Also, if he dares to lie to me, I will kill him and throw him into the mountains to feed the wolves." Mu Yunyao took the medicine bottle from her hand and opened the lid to carefully sniff it. Her eyes instantly lit up."How about you give it to me?" You dare to take it just because you know what it is? " The Poison Matriarch sized up Mu Yunyao and suddenly felt that she couldn't understand the girl in front of her. Originally, she was ordered to kill her. However, after seeing her, there wasn't the slightest bit of killing intent that came from her. Moreover, as the two of them sat together and chatted, it felt like they had been friends for many years ...

"The Dispersal of the Dream Soul. After igniting it, it will have no color or smell. It can kill people without them noticing."
"Then how are you going to exchange it? This poison is very rare." Mu Yunyao pulled out a jade hairpin from her head and stuck it in the woman's hair."I have many beautiful clothes and jewelry, and I also have a lot of silver. You can pick them up whenever you want."
