Leng Yi was completely unaware of Hong E's subtle actions, because no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't imagine that Hong E was a master of poison. Naturally, she was unprepared and drank a few cups within her acceptable limits.

After the banquet ended, everyone was free to do as they pleased. Leng Yi, feeling out of place, planned to return to the maid's quarters, but Hong E grabbed her wrist and wouldn't let go.

Leng Yi was startled. A murderous aura flashed across her blue eyes, and she subtly activated her inner strength. She asked warily, "What's wrong?"

"Don't be so nervous, Sister Ningbi. There will be fireworks later. I know you don't like crowded places, so I found a secluded spot where you can watch the fireworks perfectly."

Leng Yi immediately caught the key word "remote" and said coldly, "I don't want to watch fireworks, no need, thank you." As she spoke, she tried to shake off Hong E's hand, but after struggling a few times, she found that she could not break free. At this moment, the shock in her heart was far greater than anything else.

This is not the strength that an ordinary woman should have. Could it be that Hong'e is also a martial artist?

Leng Yi secretly placed her other hand behind her back, intending to draw the soft sword at her waist. She also relaxed her strength and stopped struggling, thinking that it would be bad to start a conflict in the crowd, so she deliberately let Hong E lead her to a secluded place, and then the two of them would fight.

What if she can't win? Then she'll have to shout, "Help me, Xiaolian!"

Hong'e noticed that Lengyi had given up struggling, and the triumphant smile on her lips vanished in an instant. Then she pulled her towards the bamboo grove and cold pond in the Second Hospital.

In winter, the bamboo is covered with snow, its leaves turn yellow, and the pond water freezes into ice. Few people linger here. There is a place called Cuizhu Zhai (Emerald Bamboo Studio), a place built by a predecessor to cultivate elegance.

Seeing that there was no one around, Leng Yi immediately drew her soft sword from her waist. In her hand, the soft sword instantly became straight and sharp, gleaming with a cold light, and slashed sideways towards Hong E's neck.

Hong'e's pupils dilated as she reflected the sword's gleam. Reflexively, she bent down and released Leng Yi's hand, the blade barely grazing her face. After dodging the sword, she spun behind Leng Yi, still shaken, and said, "You do have some martial arts skills, huh? I thought you only knew fancy moves."

Leng Yi twirled her sword and held it behind her back, then turned to the side, staring coldly at Hong E: "There should be no one here anymore. Let's settle our score here. I wonder what you're trying to do to frame me by bringing me here?"

A glint flashed in Hong'e's beautiful eyes, and she sneered, "Heh, you knew I was going to frame you, yet you still came with me. Are you that confident in your martial arts skills?"

"No, I just look down on you and don't think you can do anything to me," Leng Yi said calmly.

"Hahaha, you're still being sharp-tongued, but you won't be so smug for long!" Hong'e's laughter grew increasingly rampant. Suddenly, she waved her hand, and a strange fragrance emanated from her hand. Leng Yi knew something was wrong the moment she took the first breath and immediately held her breath.

Despite this, Leng Yi still felt her body being drawn in by the fragrance, and began to react, and very quickly at that. Her blood seemed to be throbbing... hot... itchy... all her senses were blurred, and only that thought was amplified.

Why would this happen? There can't be an aphrodisiac that works so quickly.

Hong'e watched with satisfaction as Leng Yi, just as she had predicted, was completely limp from desire, unable to move or even speak.

The true brilliance of Hanyan Pavilion's poison lies in the fact that its toxicity requires a catalyst to be activated. During the incubation period of the poison, the person is no different from an ordinary person, but once the toxicity is activated, it is devastating and irreversible.
