The Koi Wife of the Prime Minister

Chapter 289 Closing the Net

Shen Yan sneered and took the porcelain bottle. Everyone thought that the Divine Doctor Valley was only good at medical skills. Even if the eldest brother was proficient in the art of treating poisons, it was just a means of curing diseases and saving lives. The Divine Doctor Valley symbolized saving the dying and healing the wounded. Those dark and evil arts were isolated from the people in the valley. In fact, it was true. But this did not mean that they had no knowledge of those unorthodox methods.

Deep in the library, rows of books were quietly displayed, among which there were many detailed records about Gu poisons. Loach Gu, golden silkworm Gu, epilepsy Gu, malnutrition Gu, bamboo strip Gu, stone Gu, snake Gu, poison Gu, love flower Gu, swelling Gu... all kinds of Gu poisons were recorded in great detail. Except for the love flower Gu, which required monthly antidote to maintain life, the others were all evil things that took people's lives. And this porcelain bottle undoubtedly hid one of them.

She has no great interest in these...

As he waved, a waiter hurried over and stood respectfully to one side. Shen Yan nodded slightly, signaling him to act, and the waiter took out a thin tinder from his sleeve, rubbed it lightly on the phosphorus stone, and instantly ignited a blazing flame. He carefully held up the exquisite porcelain bottle and slowly tilted it. The liquid in the bottle silently dripped into the fire, and the flames turned a faint green. An indescribable stench filled the air, causing the people around to frown and cover their noses.

Oh, this unique smell indicates the contents of the bottle - the corpse-rotting Gu, a poisonous thing that makes people shudder. This Gu feeds on rotting corpses, and the owner of the food needs to endure inhuman patience and torture. Once poisoned, it will lurk in the human body for a short time, and then suddenly attack, causing the victim to bleed from all seven orifices, and die miserably, which is unbearable to watch.

Looking at Mu Qing, who was in a trance and almost collapsed, Shen Yan's voice softened unconsciously and asked the doubt in her heart: "Have you ever, even for a moment, really thought of harming me?" Mu Qing's eyes were empty and desperate, tears rolled in his eyes, and finally slid down his cheeks silently. "No, I never had that thought, I just... I was afraid to leave here, afraid of losing everything."

She continued to sob, and every word was like a heavy hammer hitting Shen Yan's heart: "Dozens of lives of the Mu family have died because of me. I... I am the culprit. I even deceived Brother Cheng. His rescue was not my credit, but the plot of that group of people. They let me stand in front of Brother Cheng just to use me..."

A trace of confusion flashed across Shen Yan's brows, and she asked, "Mu family? Isn't that your home?" Mu Qing smiled bitterly, tears mixed with bitterness: "Yes, that's the home I have lived in for more than ten years, but... I am not a member of the Mu family, I am, the daughter of a traitor." After the words fell, Mu Qing's grief seemed to burst through a dam, and her cry was filled with heart-wrenching pain.

"They raised me, but that... that woman who claimed to be my mother has only seen me twice in all these years. I once naively regarded the Mu family as my own relatives, as everything I had... but she clearly said that she didn't regard me as a daughter and would not interfere with the Mu family. As a result, she asked me to sneak into the Divine Doctor Valley as an insider. For this purpose, the entire Mu family was sacrificed! I hate her, I hate her! What breaks my heart the most is her! Why did she give birth to me? Why did she abandon me after giving birth to me? Why did she let me face such a broken home!" Mu Qing's crying seemed to shatter people's hearts. Her body trembled with extreme pain. She clutched the lapels on her chest tightly, as if she wanted to embed herself in that softness to relieve the pain in her heart.

Shen Yan's heart tightened with Mu Qing's pain. Without thinking, she bent down and hugged this thin body in her arms, giving her the only warmth and comfort she had. "Don't say it... I understand. I know you've been through a lot..."

Mu Qing's words were intermittent, and dreams and reality were intertwined. Those dead faces and Brother Cheng's hateful eyes kept her awake at night. She felt that she was the calamity of the family and the source of the disaster. In the end, the torrent of emotions overwhelmed her, and Mu Qing cried until she was exhausted and fainted.

Shen Yan gently picked her up, feeling the almost weightless body, her heart full of pity. Such a weak body actually bore such heavy sorrow and sin.

Not far away, Shen Weiwei was sitting leisurely on a tree branch, holding a candied haws in her mouth. Seeing this scene, she couldn't help but joked: "Sister, you are too gentle to this sister. You have never hugged me like this!" Shen Yan responded with a smile, with a bit of helplessness and determination in her tone: "Shen Weiwei, how can I not be good to her? She will be your sister-in-law in the future and a member of our Shen family."

Shen Weiwei was shocked when she heard this, and almost dropped her candied haws on the ground. Last night, her mother was still sighing that her son was unmarried, so why did he become a "sister-in-law" today? If she told her mother about this "achievement", would she get some silver as a reward?

As soon as the idea came to her mind, Shen Weiwei took action immediately. With a candied haws in her mouth, she slid down the tree trunk flexibly and ran home, but she did not expect that what was waiting for her was a severe scolding. Her mother Xiao Xiangyun blamed her for being ignorant and destroying other people's reputation. Shen Weiwei was full of grievances and decided to discuss the "big thing" with Mu Qing in private.

However, when Shen Weiwei sneaked into Mu Qing's room with hope, she found that the situation was far more serious than she had imagined. Mu Qing was lying on the bed, the bedclothes were stained with blood, the wound on his wrist was still bleeding, and his life was in danger.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law..." Shen Weiwei panicked and rushed out of the room desperately for help. Thanks to her timely discovery, Shen Yan was still frightened and realized that she had underestimated Mu Qing's inner despair and struggle.

Although Mu Qing was rescued, her mental state was still bad. She was listless all day and seemed to have lost all her enthusiasm for life. In order to give her something to rely on, Shen Yan fabricated the news that Ganzhou City was attacked and Shen Yu was missing. Mu Qing therefore inquired about the news, prayed, and copied Buddhist scriptures every day, and seemed to have found a glimmer of meaning in her life.

At the same time, a group of mysterious people sneaked into the shadows of the capital. One night, the Valley of Divine Doctors was quietly surrounded by this force. The leader was Song Yuanping, who had left with a porcelain bottle not long ago.

"What an ungrateful villain." Shen Yan hid in the dark, crossed his hands on his abdomen, and watched the coming storm with cold eyes. The man next to him suggested: "It's time to close the net." The mission they had planned for a long time was about to be successfully completed, and more than a thousand rebels were all captured.

The two sides confronted each other. Song Yuanping narrowed his eyes, and his vision gradually focused in the blur. After a moment of identification, his voice was mixed with disbelief: "You...you are the Prime Minister Song Yunfeng? Didn't you say that you are...already gone?"

He was extremely shocked, as if his soul was hit by huge waves, and the waves were surging.
