"Can't take her today?"
Yun Shu collected her thoughts and said to Jing Heng, "Let's go."
Since he was Yun Yueyin's adopted son and particularly dependent on her, it meant the child must have something Yun Yueyin could exploit!
After the commotion tonight, Zhan Ming shouldn't dare to do anything to the child anymore.
The two left quickly.
The servants of the Regent's Mansion wanted to pursue them but couldn't catch up.
Zhan Ming stared into the darkness ahead with sinister eyes.
"Where did he come from?" Zhan Ming muttered to himself.
At the same time.
Gu Xiaofeng, shrouded in darkness, gritted his teeth and watched the direction Yun Shu and the others had left.
Zhan Ming beckoned towards the darkness.
Gu Xiaofeng lowered his head and walked over.
He approached Zhan Ming.
"You performed very well just now," Zhan Ming praised.
However, in the next moment, his expression turned extremely grim. He looked at someone beside him, "Why hasn't the Divine Doctor arrived yet?"
"My Lord, the Divine Doctor lives outside the city, and it takes considerable time for him to travel back and forth. Perhaps Your Highness could have another physician examine you?" the servant replied fearfully.
Zhan Ming waved his hand, his face full of evil intent, "Go!"
...
Not far from the city gate.
A carriage sped into the city.
Not long after entering, the carriage was forced to stop.
Someone flew through the air.
He knocked out the coachman.
Then.
A slender, fair hand lifted the carriage curtain.
"Long time no see, Divine Doctor."
Lu Hao, who had been drowsily dozing, opened his eyes the moment the carriage stopped. He looked at the person before him as if he had seen a ghost.
"Long time no see?" his voice trembled.
He had just seen her yesterday!
Agh!
Scary!
Yun Shu entered the carriage.
Lu Hao was so frightened that he stood up abruptly, hitting his head with a bang, "Ah!"
Stars danced before his eyes from the pain.
A flicker of surprise flashed in Yun Shu's eyes.
She had previously thought he was somewhat clever and brave, but perhaps she had misjudged him?
"I, I, I'm a law-abiding citizen, I swear! I haven't used your name to deceive anyone else!" Lu Hao raised his hand to swear.
Yun Shu chuckled, "Why are you so nervous? I'm not here to settle accounts with you. The title 'Divine Doctor' is just a traveling name, not exclusively mine. If you wish to use it, you are welcome to."
"Ah?" So accommodating? Lu Hao was disbelieving.
He didn't dare to believe it!
He hadn't even figured out what poison he had been afflicted with yet.
"So, the only one you've deceived now is the Regent, is that right?" Yun Shu asked.
Lu Hao listened to the woman's soft voice and gazed at her stunning beauty. He couldn't control his thoughts; his heart seemed to flutter.
He dared not look further, nodding vigorously.
"The Regent was injured today, and it has something to do with me," Yun Shu added.
Lu Hao was startled, "You're not asking me to kill the Regent, are you? I don't know martial arts, and I'd be killed by the Regent before I could even make a move!"
Seeing Lu Hao's cowardly demeanor, Yun Shu laughed, "How could I ask you to kill someone? Do I seem like such a cruel person?"
"Then you..." Lu Hao felt his heart race.
The woman before him was terrifying. It seemed she could take a life with a casual word.
Not only was her medical skill superb, but her martial arts were also astonishing!
"I wanted to ask you, do you know anything about the child by the Regent's side?" Yun Shu inquired.
Lu Hao let out a soft sound and pondered, "The Regent does have a child with him. That child is the Regent's adopted son, but for some reason, the Regent has never publicly announced his identity."
"Is there a problem with that?"
Yun Shu's gaze shifted.
After a moment of silence.
"For the poison on the Regent's arm, use this powder." Yun Shu threw Lu Hao a small bottle of wound medicine.
Lu Hao took it and opened it to smell. There was nothing unusual. He was puzzled, "Are you trying to save the Regent?"
That wasn't right. Shouldn't she wish for the Regent's death?
Why would she offer wound medicine?
"Don't you smell anything unusual?" Yun Shu subtly hinted.
A spark of realization flashed in Lu Hao's eyes, making him almost jump out of his skin, "This wound medicine..."
"Give it to the Regent," Yun Shu's voice deepened slightly.
"Then the Regent's illness will be..." Lu Hao's face turned pale.
Yun Shu smiled slightly, "As if you could restore his vitality. With your medical skills, it would take ten to eight years to cure him. Think about your own life, and then think about these insignificant matters. I have high hopes for you, so do a good job."
With that, Yun Shu exited the carriage.
Lu Hao's hands, holding the wound medicine, trembled uncontrollably. Damn it!
He must have used up all his good luck last year!
He wanted to cry.
...
When Yun Shu returned to the General's Mansion, Jing Heng had also returned from Ruan Xi.
He had also relayed the information they had gathered to her.
The child was named Gu Xiaofeng, and he had been with the Regent for three years.
He had likely been with Yun Yueyin since she left the capital, and then Gu Xiaofeng had recognized Zhan Ming.
They hadn't investigated the child thoroughly before.
Also, since Zhan Ming had not returned to the capital, some information was unavailable.
"Why would Master be interested in that child?" Jing Heng asked with some confusion.
Yun Shu voiced her own doubts, "I suspect the child abandoned by Yun Yueyin on the mountain years ago is not dead. Perhaps he is still alive, or Yun Yueyin took him away. Maybe Gu Xiaofeng is my son."
"What?" Jing Heng was surprised.
Yun Shu stood with her hands behind her back, gazing out the window. Dawn had broken.
"This matter needs to be confirmed."
"I'll have Ruan Xi investigate thoroughly."
"En."
Meanwhile, in the Prince of Night's Mansion.
Qiu Lu informed Zhan Tianye of the information he had gathered.
"He's an adopted son taken in by Yun Yueyin?" Zhan Tianye narrowed his cold eyes.
He could abandon his own son, yet he adopted an adopted son?
"Yes, Your Highness, it's confirmed that he's an adopted son of Miss Yun." Qiu Lu said in a deep voice.
Zhan Tianye said coldly, "There must be some hidden reason behind this."
"Has Your Highness noticed, Gu Xiaofeng bears some resemblance to Your Highness?" Qiu Lu said.
Zhan Tianye recalled the child's appearance. He did resemble him, and even looked like Xiao Li.
If he hadn't been certain that on the night he was drugged, he was only tricked by Yun Yueyin alone, he might have suspected he had slept with another woman and had another son.
"Find out what secret Yun Yueyin is hiding," Zhan Tianye had a premonition that Yun Yueyin was hiding a shocking secret.
"Yes!"
Qiu Lu prepared to leave.
Suddenly, he remembered something important.
"Your Highness, should I search for the woman from last night?" Qiu Lu asked, his eyes gleaming with cunning.
Zhan Tianye's cold gaze swept over him.
"Does Your Highness like the woman from last night, or has he suddenly taken a liking to the second Miss Yun? Although the identity of the woman from last night is unknown, the Old Master likes the second Miss Yun," Qiu Lu quickly added.
