In the Harem.
The Sorcerer Queen sat in front of the window lintel, holding a string of agate in her hand in a daze. The orange and red twilight landed on the string of agate from afar, reflecting a blinding light.
“Sorcerer Queen, Sorcerer Queen, Sorcerer Queen!” Hong Luan called her a few times.
The Sorcerer Queen’s consciousness returned. She put away the agate bead bracelet in her hand without a trace and restrained her dazed expression. She turned around and asked coldly and dignifiedly, “What is it?”
Hong Luan said, “The Great Elder is here.”
“Let him in,” the Sorcerer Queen said.
“Yes.” Hong Luan left and invited the Great Elder into the hall.
The Sorcerer Queen put the agate bead into her makeup box, stood up, and walked to the middle of the hall.
“Sorcerer Queen.” The Great Elder cupped his hands and bowed.
“Grandpa, there’s no need to be so polite. Why did you come at this time? Have you found Wanrou’s whereabouts?” The Sorcerer Queen asked.
The Great Elder shook his head. “The people we sent out haven’t returned yet.”
The Sorcerer Queen pinched the space between her eyebrows. “It’s all those blind people’s fault. They should have shot the fake Wen Xu. Who asked them to shoot Wanrou?”
Not only was Wanrou the daughter-in-law of the Wen family, but she was also the precious daughter of the Third Elder. The Third Elder only had one legitimate daughter. Back then, he had spent a lot of effort to coax her into the Wen Manor. Now, she was shot to death by a guard!
“Third Elder has worked a lot for us all these years. Fifth Elder and Seventh Elder only joined our camp because of him. If…” The Sorcerer Queen frowned and did not continue.
The Great Elder said, “They killed her accidentally. They did plan to shoot the fake Wen Xu, but who knew that Wanrou would push him away? Wanrou, she…”
“She what?” The Sorcerer Queen coldly removed the hand that was pinching her glabella. “Can she still take the arrow for Wen Xu? Don’t I know what kind of relationship she has with Xu’er? She most likely knew the other party’s identity long ago and even had a secret relationship with him! How dare she!
She deserves to end up like this!”
Although Wen Xu was a disgrace, he was still of the Wen family’s bloodline. The Great Elder and the Sorcerer Queen doted on him very much. In the current situation, there was a high chance that Wen Xu had already been harmed by that group of people. They wished they could skin that group of people alive and eat their blood and meat!
As Wen Xu’s wife, not only did Nie Wanrou not expose them, she even colluded with them. Not to mention that she was shot to death, even if she didn’t die, the Sorcerer Queen would personally sentence her to death!
The Sorcerer Queen said coldly, “It’s not a pity that she died, but don’t let it affect our relationship with the Third Elder.”
The Great Elder said, “Don’t worry about that. I’ve already gotten someone to disguise themselves and say that that group of people killed her.”
“He believed you?” The Sorcerer Queen felt that the Third Elder was not such a gullible person.
The Great Elder said firmly, “How can he not believe it? Would he rather suspect a group of spies than believe an ally who has been with him for many years? Besides, we’re in-laws! I bet Wanrou didn’t tell him about the fake Wen Xu. He definitely doesn’t know that the two of them already have a
relationship.”
The Sorcerer Queen said, “That’s for the best. Third Elder knows too much about us, and it concerns Fifth Elder and Seventh Elder’s camp. Unless it’s absolutely necessary, I don’t want to eliminate him too.”
“Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. I’ll pay close attention to the Third Elder. How’s the matter of the Soul Rakshasa going?” The Great Elder said. The Sorcerer Queen raised her eyebrows and smiled faintly. “It’s almost done.” “Oh?” The Great Elder was a little surprised.
The Sorcerer Queen smiled and said, “The Soul Rakshasa is at the last moment of awakening. I’ve already gotten someone to find the herb primer it needs. We’ll be able to find it today!”
Although the Great Elder objected to the Sorcerer Queen releasing the Soul Rakshasa, at the critical juncture, he could not help but look forward to the power of the Soul Rakshasa. Perhaps this was the instinctive worship and respect for experts.
The Great Elder said, “In that case… the Soul Rakshasa is just around the corner?”
The Sorcerer Queen said, “That’s right. After the Soul Rakshasa comes out of seclusion, we won’t have anything to fear even if Third Elder knows the truth about Nie Wanrou. Just a few elders aren’t enough for the Soul Rakshasa to pinch with one finger!”
“Here, here, here.”
In the small courtyard, the Third Elder spread out a map of the Sorcerer Clan and circled a few red spots on it with cinnabar.
“Are these the pharmacies that the Sorcerer Queen will go to?” Zhou Yuyan asked.
“That’s right.” The Third Elder nodded. He looked at Zhou Yuyan and Dawa, then quietly looked at the Sorcerer King, who was chewing an apple at the side. On the surface, the Sorcerer King didn’t pay attention to what he said, but he kept feeling that the Sorcerer King was listening seriously.
He owed the Sorcerer King too much. The Sorcerer King did not pursue his mistake and instead saved his daughter. He was extremely ashamed. Wasn’t he expressing his loyalty and gratitude to the Sorcerer King by convincing him to take down the Sorcerer Queen in front of him?
The Third Elder had misunderstood. It wasn’t that the Sorcerer King didn’t seem to pay attention to him, but he really didn’t pay attention to him. The Sorcerer King was thinking of what to do tonight to trick that old man Bao. His son seemed to like green pepper potato slices, but he liked green pepper eggs and his son liked to drink crucian carp tofu soup, but he wanted to eat braised crucian carp…
His father, who was fighting with his son for food, was really vexed…
The Sorcerer King sighed.
Third Elder broke out in cold sweat. As expected of the Sorcerer King, he could actually tell that he did not tell them the entire truth. That’s right, if the Sorcerer Queen wanted to deal with them, other than going to the pharmacies to buy medicine for the Soul Rakshasa, she also had to go to a spice shop in the outer village to find the herb primer.
That medicine was not a product of the Sorcerer Clan. It was a kind of soju brought by outsiders. In all honesty, he definitely didn’t mean to hide it, but he hadn’t had the time to say it!
“And here.” Third Elder decisively circled out the shop selling soju in the outer village.
But what if he went hungry if he didn’t snatch food from his son? His son didn’t seem to be picky. Should he let his son suffer? He couldn’t bear to do that…
The Sorcerer King sighed again.
The Third Elder broke out in cold sweat. That’s right, the soju was not the only medicinal primer, there’s also a kind of spice. The Sorcerer King could even tell this! The Third Elder did not dare to say it so slowly anymore. He told them the name of the spice, the price, and the dosage needed in one go!
Sigh, it was better to play rock-paper-scissors with his son! Whoever won would listen! That’s right, he was so smart!
The Sorcerer King, who had finally found a solution, held the apple in his mouth and left in satisfaction.
The Third Elder broke out in cold sweat in the direction where the Sorcerer King had left. The Sorcerer King only left after he spat out everything. The Sorcerer King was indeed a god!
Yan Jiuchao and the others had gone to the palace. They did not know when they would return. Of course, they could not wait for them to return before taking action. That would be too late.
“I’ll go!” Zhou Yuyan said. “I’ll secretly change these herbs!”
“I’ll go too!” said Dawa.
“You guys can even do such a wicked thing like changing herbs! Are you human?” Old Cui glared at the two of them in disdain. He took out a few small porcelain bottles and threw them into their arms. “Crane Crown Red, ten times the dosage! ”
Zhou Yuyan :
Dawa: ”
After the two of them took the poison, Old Cui disguised himself as the guard of the Great Elder. He held the token that he had plucked from the guard and swaggered onto the street. The matter of buying medicine was a secret. It was impossible for the Sorcerer Queen to let anyone go openly.
The two of them squatted outside the shop. Not far away, in a carriage sat the Third Elder. When a young man dressed as a merchant walked into the shop, the Third Elder gave the two of them a look.
The two of them understood that this was the Sorcerer Queen’s claws!
They hid in the dark and poured a drop of Crane Crown Red into the wine when the guard was not paying attention. Even if it was a Soul Rakshasa, it would not be safe and sound with ten times the dosage!
“Poison you, poison you, poison you!” Zhou Yuyan sprinkled a few more drops.
“Enough, enough, stop! The others will discover it if we put in more!” Although this was a modified Crane Crown Red that was basically colorless and tasteless, it did not smell good. A few drops would not be enough to smell anything, but it might be a bad thing if there were more.
Zhou Yuyan said, “Got it. I’m just worried that I can’t kill it. I’m doing this for Brother-in-law’s own good!”
“Brother-in-law?” Davar was stunned.
Zhou Yuyan raised her eyebrows and said, “Yes! Sister Wan’s husband is my brother-in-law!”
The corners of Dawa’s mouth twitched. This identification was really fast!
The young man left with the wine pot. The two of them exchanged a look with the Third Elder. The Third Elder understood and lowered the curtain. Not long after the young man left, he also took a carriage into the city.
Dawa and Zhou Yuyan guarded the city gate until it closed before returning to their residence in relief.
However, the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry. That young man was clearly about to reach the palace. He hugged the wine jar and dozed off. In his carelessness, the wine jar fell and shattered with a bang!
“Aiya, not good, the soju is gone! The Sorcerer Queen will kill me!” The young man hurriedly got the coachman to turn the carriage around and run to the city gate.
“The city gate has been closed. If you want to leave the city, come back tomorrow!”
The young man took out the token. When the guards saw the Sorcerer Queen’s order, they were shocked and hurriedly opened the city gate. The young man returned to the wine shop. He was worried that it would break halfway, so he asked for three jars in one go.
“It’s better to be prepared this time!” The young man patted the wine jar and turned to the counter to settle the bill.
“Mother, I need to pee!” Xiaobao covered his crotch and said. Xiaobao, who had eaten and drunk his fill on the streets, couldn’t help but pee.
“But there’s no toilet here,” Yu Wan said with a troubled expression.
Xiaobao covered his crotch and jumped up. “Xiaobao wants to pee! I’m going to pee my pants!”
“Ah, this… Alright, I’ll bring you there to ask.” Yu Wan brought Xiaobao to a wine shop. “Shopkeeper, can I borrow the toilet?”
The shopkeeper pointed casually. Yu Wan brought Xiaobao along. But there was someone in the toilet.
Xiaobao covered his crotch and jumped up again.. “I-I-I-I-I… I can’t hold it in anymore!”
