Chapter 110 Poisoning
"Ling Feng, has anyone ever told you that you must have fallen into the water when you were a child?"
Yun Qingyao asked with a half-smile on her face.
"Shi...Shi...Shi...Crown Princess, you...you...how did you know?"
Ling Feng looked at Yun Qingyao as if he were looking at a ghost. Every time he did something wrong, the prince would say this to him. However, he was an orphan, and he didn't know if he had really fallen into the water when he was a child. Why did everyone say this to him?
"Well, I don't know, but I can feel that there is water in your head. Let's do this. This princess and Ling Xuan will go to find a water source, and you will stay here to watch them. As long as there is any movement in the tent, you will find a way to inform us. I mean any movement, understand?"
"Yes, Princess, I understand!"
Ling Feng no longer dared to ask questions casually, he immediately made a promise.
"Ling Xuan, let's go!"
Yun Qingyao did not say how to notify, but she believed that there must be a special way of passing messages among their secret guards, there was no doubt about that.
"Princess, are you planning to poison me?"
Ling Xuan asked.
"Well, you guessed right. There are only three of us, and there are at least 30,000 people here, not to mention 50,000. Just like what you said, even if they stand still and let us chop them down, we can't chop them down. I, Yun Qingyao, am just a weak woman who can't even tie a chicken. Where have I seen such a bloody scene, let alone piles of dead bodies? What's more, if so many people rot together and cause a plague, then the three of us will become sinners in everyone's mouth, so killing people is absolutely unacceptable."
Yun Qingyao lied with her eyes open. She seemed to have completely forgotten that night when she took the lives of several people including Du Bu Si with just one shot.
Tsk, I don’t believe you!
That night, if I hadn't seen with my own eyes how the Crown Prince's Concubine acted decisively and with a clear goal, which was totally unlike a woman, I have to know that judging from her movements, not to mention a woman, even the secret guards who killed people without blinking an eye were not as fast as her. In the blink of an eye, she took the lives of several men in black. And this is still called a weak woman. Did the Crown Prince's Concubine misunderstand the word "weak woman"?
If this is still called a weak woman, then what are these people like?
At this moment, Ling Xuan could only look up at the sky in silence.
However, such a Crown Prince's Consort is truly admirable, at least that's what Ling Xuan thinks.
Princess, isn’t poisoning the same as murder?
Ling Xuan really wanted to ask a question, but after thinking about it, he decided to give up.
Anyway, the Crown Prince's Consort didn't want his life, so there was no need for him to be so serious about it.
However, after they found the water source, Yun Qingyao's next words perfectly explained Ling Xuan's doubts and made Ling Xuan admire Yun Qingyao even more.
"Ling Xuan, this is a special gift I prepared for them. As soon as Ling Chen sends a signal, we will pour these bottles of medicine powder into it. This is specially made by me. Just taking a little bit will be enough. After three hours, they will definitely doubt their lives. However, as long as it is used properly, this medicine will definitely not kill people. Not only that, I believe it can also bring great benefits to the Shenyu Army." Yun Qingyao said with a smile as he stood upstream of the large pond.
She had just looked at it carefully. This was the largest water source in the valley. The large pond below was newly dug. It should have been prepared for the convenience of getting water. In other words, this pond was also the water-drawing point for the 30,000 Hanliang soldiers every day.
Originally, Yun Qingyao was worried that the medicine powder would be washed away, but now it’s all right. God is really helping me. It’s hard not to succeed!
God finally did something for us.
Yun Qingyao looked up silently. Ling Xuan didn't know what the Crown Princess was looking at, but, adhering to the principle of saying less and doing more, he didn't ask.
However, looking at Yun Qingyao's confident look, Ling Xuan was also excited.
“Princess, with the loss of these 50,000 elite soldiers from the Hanliang Kingdom, the pressure on our Shenyu Army will be greatly reduced. In this way, our battle may be over soon.
Moreover, if it weren't for these people, the prince and the 10,000 Shenyu Army would not have been forced to enter the Ice Flame Valley, and would not have suffered heavy losses. Today we are avenging Prince Yi and the dead soldiers of our Shenyu Army. Wow, I am so excited just thinking about it now!"
Ling Xuan wanted to fall down right now, but since the Crown Princess didn't say anything, he didn't dare to act on his own and could only wait quietly for Ling Chen's signal.
"Ling Xuan, you are wrong. We are not just seeking revenge for the prince and the dead soldiers. These are all valuable silver coins. We can use them to buy a lot of food and fodder for the living soldiers. This is my gift to the soldiers!"
Yun Qingyao looked at Ling Xuan's uncontrollable smile and said mysteriously.
"Princess, I am stupid and don't understand what you mean?"
Ling Xuan was really confused this time.
"Well, let's keep this secret for now. Okay, it's almost time. Ling Feng should have news soon." Yun Qingyao looked at the gradually rising pale sky and her mood instantly improved.
"Gugu, gugu!"
Suddenly, a bird's cry was heard.
"Princess, someone has gotten up in the valley!"
Ling Xuan said in a low voice.
"Yes, I heard it. Needless to say, the one who lit it is the soldier in charge of food. Ling Xuan, get started immediately."
Yun Qingyao gave the order decisively.
"Yes, Crown Princess!"
Ling Xuan immediately poured all the powder in the bottles in his hands into the pot. In order not to waste even a bit of powder, Ling Xuan even washed the bottles, fearing that there might be some residual powder left in the bottles.
The medicinal powder was colorless and odorless, but the mountain spring water with the powder added was still crystal clear, and even the fish and shrimp they deliberately put in to test the poison were still alive.
However, no one could have imagined that the pond that they had dug with so much effort was actually filled with additives!
"Let's go, they're coming!"
Yun Qingyao pointed to a group of soldiers carrying wooden buckets to fetch water not far away and said.
"Yes, Crown Princess!"
The two of them quietly left the pond without attracting anyone's attention. After reuniting with Ling Feng, Ling Xuan suddenly remembered something very important that he had overlooked.
"It's over!"
He seemed to have been infected by Ling Feng. How could he be so confused that he overlooked such an important matter? Now, he not only failed to gain anything but also exposed the Crown Prince's Concubine's intention.
Ling Xuan slapped his head and looked at Yun Qingyao with regret.
"Ling Xuan, what's wrong? What happened?"
Looking at Ling Xuan's appearance, Yun Qingyao asked with a puzzled look.
"Princess, I'm sorry. It's all my fault for being careless. When I gave you the drug just now, I forgot something very important. We may fail today."
At this moment, Ling Xuan no longer had the excitement he had when he was drugged. On the contrary, he hung his head, wishing he could go back in time.
"Don't worry, I know what you are thinking. We will definitely succeed today. Now, let's go to the other two exits, otherwise, we will really be too late."
Yun Qingyao said with a smile.
"Princess, do you really know what I want to say?"
Ling Xuan asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Well, is this what you are talking about?"
Yun Qingyao made a gesture of a swimming fish towards Ling Xuan.
Ling Xuan took a look and was finally relieved.
The Crown Princess really knew.
