Chapter 36: The Truth of That Night (1)
The Blood Flame Poison that Su Yu was afflicted with was fed to him bit by bit by his mother at his birth, and its toxicity had lasted for a long time. Yun Feng, born into the Yun Family, a thousand-year medical lineage, was extraordinarily gifted in medicine and poison from a young age.
Su Yu’s aunt from the Yun Family took care of him during his time at the sect, allowing him to survive and suppress the toxin within his body. Since Su Yu was, after all, a member of the Nanyao Country’s Imperial Family, he couldn’t stay at the sect indefinitely, so she sent her nephew Yun Feng to attend to Su Yu. Yun Feng stayed by Su Yu’s side for thirteen years, understanding more than anyone how difficult it was to cure his poison.
He had nearly exhausted all his efforts for this, but never expected such a miraculous turn of events to occur at this moment.
Even Su Yu found it absurd that after all these years of exhausting manpower and resources to detoxify him, it would be resolved so inexplicably. Not only Yun Feng, but even he himself could hardly believe it.
The two remained silent for a long time, finally waiting for Lan Ji to return, bringing along the person Han Yuxiao had taken into the Mudan Pavillion that day.
The person appeared to be in his thirties, looking disreputable, and was so frightened by being caught by Lan Ji that he was shaking with fear, kneeling on the ground, pleading, "Spare my life, sir, spare my life!"
"Master, it has been investigated. This person is a beggar from the southern part of the city. On the evening before last, Han Yuxiao disguised him and quietly brought him into the Mudan Pavillion before leaving. The pavilion’s guards found him unfamiliar and questioned him as required, detaining him, planning to hand him over upon identification by someone from the Mudan Pavillion. Miss Han came to the pavilion alone. Originally, the guards intended for Miss Han to take him back, but she was drugged and fell asleep. The guards dared not disturb and detained him overnight. The next morning, after Miss Han left, he kept saying Han Yuxiao brought him there, so the guards released him. Yesterday afternoon, after Han Yuxiao met him, she gave him one hundred taels of silver and instructed him not to leave the Capital City," Lan Ji reported.
Su Yu did not glance at the beggar even once, calmly saying, "Deal with him first, then report back."
Lan Ji took the beggar out, and Yun Feng, wide-eyed, exclaimed, "That, that Miss Han, isn’t she your niece? Logically, shouldn’t she call you Uncle? No, I remember she was engaged to your nephew, so she should call you Imperial Uncle instead..."
Su Yu casually grabbed a book beside him and threw it at Yun Feng’s face!

In just a moment, Lan Ji returned. Before Su Yu could speak, Yun Feng jumped in to ask, "The night before last, where was your master? Did you find out? Also, besides Miss Han, how many other women stayed in the Baihua Garden? Yesterday, did any woman who visited the Baihua Garden suddenly die? Did you investigate these?"
Lan Ji cautiously glanced at their master’s composed face, his heart trembling. This face of their master, though calm, was dangerous! He should never have, on the night before last, listened to the master’s words and took a break to drink with that guy Lan Mu!
"The night before last, master did indeed enter the Mudan Pavillion. Rest assured, master, the only Hidden Guard in the Mudan Pavillion who discovered this has already been controlled by subordinates, ready to be dealt with at any time," Lan Ji reported.
PS: Let me explain to everyone. Qiqi has to get up at five in the morning tomorrow to go with mama to the provincial city hospital for a check-up, so today’s update ends here. I will try to make up the remaining four Chapters when I return tomorrow afternoon. Rest assured, friends, the missing Chapters will be made up.
