Chu Qianli basically stayed in the逍遥王府 to catch up on sleep today.
She realized how much she had been lacking sleep during the past period.
She slept until the evening.
"The Prince has returned and has seen His Majesty. Seeing that His Majesty was still resting, he didn't disturb him and left."
The maid serving her replied.
Chu Qianli didn't pay much attention. She tidied herself up and ate something casually.
She was just about to go out.
Unexpectedly, an uninvited guest arrived.
The door was closed. She took off her hat and pulled down the black veil from her face.
"Long Xinghe?" Chu Qianli was startled. "How did you..."
"I was injured during combat. What's strange about being disfigured?" Long Xinghe was already used to it, so at this moment, she didn't seem to care much.
"They call me Granny Jiang now. I don't plan to use the identity of Long Xinghe to walk around the imperial city for the time being."
"So, you are still here because you have something unfinished?"
Otherwise, with Long Xinghe's personality, she should have already returned to Tengbei.
Although she liked Feng Wuya, unless Wuya asked her to stay, she wouldn't shamelessly cling to him.
Long Xinghe knew that Chu Qianli understood her very well.
She glanced back.
Outside the door, there was no unusual presence.
Chu Qianli also sensed her caution. She held her breath for a moment before saying, "Speak freely. There's no one around here."
"Wuya has been poisoned."
These words made Chu Qianli's heart suddenly clench.
"I saw him last night, and there was nothing..."
"I intercepted it." Long Xinghe walked over and placed a bottle on the table. "Take a look, what kind of poison is this? Ordinary silver needles can't detect it, but I smelled something wrong."
Long Xinghe was from the Wolf Territory before, and like Chu Qianli, she was sensitive to various medicines from a young age.
However, she was more interested in design, which led to their different developmental paths later on.
Chu Qianli became a divine doctor, and Long Xinghe became a genius in weapons design.
But the training they received in childhood was largely similar.
To avoid being harmed by poisons, they had to study various poisons from a young age.
Chu Qianli took the bottle, opened it, and smelled it. Her face instantly changed. "A slow-acting poison!"
It was exactly the same as the poison given to the Emperor!
"Your expression is a bit off," Long Xinghe immediately noticed.
Chu Qianli could only tell her about the Emperor's sudden poisoning incident last night.
"So, there's a spy from the Medicine Man Legion by his side?"
Chu Qianli's heart was also a little uneasy.
These people were truly impossible to guard against!
"But he has no interest in politics. Why would someone who stays out of worldly affairs be targeted?"
"This matter, you will probably have to investigate to find the answer."
"Are you asking me?" Although Chu Qianli's mood was heavy, Long Xinghe's concern for someone indeed refreshed her understanding of Long Xinghe.
Because of Wuya, Long Xinghe's way of doing things had really changed.
"Consider it me begging you..."
"There's no need. Because I also want to find out who is behind the Medicine Man Legion."
Chu Qianli looked at her, her brows slightly furrowed. "Does Wuya know about this?"
Long Xinghe shook her head. "Anyone who can poison him must be someone close to him. Wuya is simple-minded. If he knew that someone close to him wanted to harm him, he would be sad."
"Your protecting him like this may not necessarily be a good thing for him."
However, for someone to protect him like this, it was at least a form of fortune.
Did Feng Wuya cultivate for several lifetimes to have the good fortune to meet a woman like Long Xinghe?
