Mo Lingxi understood Sheng Lengshuang's meaning and nodded, "To put it simply, corpse control is a martial art that manipulates corpses. If the person controlling the corpses is not nearby, they cannot control them."
"The problem now is that I haven't found out who practices this martial art, and the other party hasn't reappeared. So, we can only wait for them to show themselves and then follow the clues."
Sheng Lengshuang understood this. She thought for a long time, feeling that something was being overlooked, but she couldn't recall what it was.
In this situation, they could only wait for the mastermind to make a move or for clues to be found.
"Does Prince Ming Rui have any other matters?"
Feeling the unspoken eviction, Mo Lingxi was heartbroken. "I have two more things to discuss with you, both very important. Also, we need to discuss the Tao family's affairs and see if we can lure the snake out of its hole."
"If we can resolve the Tao family's matters quickly, or find useful clues by following the Tao family's trail, we can handle all these matters as soon as possible."
Sheng Lengshuang had a feeling that the man before her wanted to talk to her more, which was why he brought these matters up. "Speak, finish quickly so Prince Ming Rui can leave sooner."
Mo Lingxi wiped his face and cleared his throat. "The mastermind's target is either you or me. My idea is that we should go out more and see if we can catch a big fish."
Sheng Lengshuang flatly refused, "I don't want to go out with you!"
Mo Lingxi felt a stab in his heart, but he explained good-naturedly, "I know you dislike going out with me, and I know you don't want to see me much. But now, we both want to resolve these matters as soon as possible, so it's best for us to act together to prevent any further unpleasant incidents."
Sheng Lengshuang knew this, but she simply didn't want to be with Mo Lingxi. The mere thought of being with this disgusting man made her want to vomit.
Back then, it was this scoundrel who, driven by lust, forced himself on her and made her give birth to Xiao Feng.
If it weren't for his high status and the Emperor's reliance on him, she would have poisoned him to death long ago. How could she be with him now?
"We can achieve the same by acting separately. I will not be with you. You can give up on that idea." Her attitude was firm.
Mo Lingxi knew he couldn't force her now, so he changed the subject. "Regarding the porridge distribution and the matter of gifting sweet potatoes to the Xi Yue Dynasty and the Bei Yuan Dynasty that you mentioned earlier, when do you think it's best to handle it?"
Sheng Lengshuang was extremely surprised by this. She looked at him several times. Sweet potatoes were a unique grain from her spatial medicinal garden, and she had never told anyone. Why would Mo Lingxi know about them?
Her gaze made Mo Lingxi guess. "Back then, when we were in Shili Po Village, you accidentally discovered sweet potatoes in the back mountains and took me there. Do you remember?"
Sheng Lengshuang was even more astonished. "I grew up in Dongdu. When did I ever go to Shili Po Village?"
What was this man talking about? She had grown up in Dongdu, rarely even leaving her home. How could she have gone to a place like Shili Po Village?
Upon hearing this, Mo Lingxi's eyes rose high. He invited General Sheng and his wife and asked them in front of Sheng Lengshuang.
"Father-in-law, Mother-in-law, please tell Sheng Lengshuang where she grew up."
General Sheng and his wife knew Sheng Lengshuang's situation.
"Leng Shuang, are you feeling unwell?" Madam Sheng touched Sheng Lengshuang's forehead, worried. "When you were born, you were swapped with the younger daughter of the Tao family by Zhou Wenxing's design. You grew up in Shili Po Village until your father and I found you back a few days ago."
Sheng Lengshuang was so shocked that her expression became uncontrollable, and her tone rose slightly. "Mother, didn't I grow up by your and Father's side?"
Madam Sheng shook her head. "You grew up in Shili Po Village and suffered a lot. Don't you remember these things?"
Sheng Lengshuang's mind buzzed. She sat there blankly, unable to believe what she was hearing. Why was what she knew completely different from what her mother said?
Clearly, she had grown up by her parents' side, but her mother said she grew up in Shili Po Village.
What was going on?
Seeing her like this, Madam Sheng became even more worried. "Leng Shuang, you know you were poisoned. This poison is very harmful to you. Perhaps that's why your memory is faulty."
Sheng Lengshuang believed her mother and gradually calmed down. "Mother, tell me about my past, and I'll see where the discrepancies are."
If her memory was indeed flawed, then she had to detoxify as soon as possible and not let this poison harm her any further.
However, Madam Sheng said that she didn't know as much as Mo Lingxi and asked Mo Lingxi to tell Sheng Lengshuang.
Sheng Lengshuang glanced at Mo Lingxi with annoyance and said to Madam Sheng, "Mother, I don't want to know anymore right now."
If Mo Lingxi were to tell her, she would rather not know at all.
Madam Sheng gently patted her hand and coaxed, "Alright, alright. When you want to know, we'll ask Prince Ming Rui to tell you. For now, the most important thing is for you to recover your health."
Sheng Lengshuang hummed in agreement.
Madam Sheng and General Sheng stayed for a while longer before returning to the side hall to rest.
Sheng Lengshuang didn't want to deal with Mo Lingxi, so she took her own pulse, thinking about how to detoxify. The sooner she detoxified, the better it would be for her.
"Sheng Lengshuang, I know you dislike me now." Mo Lingxi's voice was full of bitterness. "Don't worry, unless it's absolutely necessary, I won't appear before you."
Sheng Lengshuang casually replied with an "oh" and continued to think about detoxification.
Mo Lingxi sighed and got to the point. "Regarding the porridge distribution and the sweet potato matter, how do you plan to proceed?"
Sheng Lengshuang said, "These two matters are not my responsibility. Prince Ming Rui can handle them himself. I need to rest."
Mo Lingxi urged her to rest well and then left with a sigh.
Sheng Lengshuang rolled her eyes, feeling extremely displeased. It was truly audacious of this person to still show his face in front of her.
Never mind, the most important thing now was detoxification.
In order to detoxify as soon as possible, Sheng Lengshuang sought out the imperial physicians at the Imperial Hospital and discussed with them how to detoxify quickly and what precautions to take.
After she came out of the Imperial Hospital, a eunuch approached her.
"Miss Sheng Sima, Miss Sima wants to see you," the eunuch said, bowing.
Sheng Lengshuang was stunned. Sima Min wanted to see her? Her relationship with Sima Min was extremely poor, mainly because Sima Min was infatuated with Mo Lingxi and stubbornly believed that she had seduced Mo Lingxi. Sima Min had caused her trouble countless times.
Now, Sima Min wanted to see her voluntarily?
After some thought, Sheng Lengshuang decided to meet Sima Min to see what tricks she was up to.
However, she did not expect to see Sima Min in the Ministry of Justice prison.
Looking at the bruised and dirty Sima Min, Sheng Lengshuang almost couldn't believe this was the usually arrogant Sima Min.
She asked the prison guard leading the way what had happened to Sima Min.
