Chu Shao stood while Xiao Jin sat on a wheelchair.
The two didn't speak, both gazing into the distance, looking at the lake's surface. They didn't care whether the flying creatures on the lake were egrets or dragonflies. They just enjoyed the quiet moment as time passed by.
The sunlight shone through the clouds, and their sleeves fluttered in the breeze, creating a beautiful scene.
However, Su Tan and Liu Tianya stood not far away, staring at them with intense gazes, like two resentful ghosts.
Even though Xiao Jin only wanted a moment of leisure, it was hard to ignore the presence of the two people. So she turned her head and whispered to Chu Shao, "Why is Liu Tianya here?"
"Your Highness, it's like this." Chu Shao smiled and leaned in to whisper the cause and effect in Xiao Jin's ear.
After listening, Xiao Jin's brow furrowed slightly. So it was Chu Shao who had kidnapped Bai Lidan, the person who had dared to steal people from Xiao Shuang.
Although Xiao Jin didn't show much emotion on her face, she had made up her mind not to let Bai Lidan go in the short term.
After all, if she let him go, wouldn't Xiao Shuang come after Chu Shao?
Xiao Jin also remembered that Xiao Shuang had instructed her servant to investigate this matter thoroughly. So she approached Chu Shao and asked, "Did you leave any clues at the scene?"
Chu Shao lowered her eyes, looking at Xiao Jin's slightly open lips. The lines were cool, but when she reached out to touch them, they were unexpectedly soft.
After a moment, Chu Shao's heartbeat calmed down, and she smiled. "Of course, there won't be any traces left. Even if there were, they would belong to the Blood Rain Pavilion."
"Good." Xiao Jin understood the meaning behind Chu Shao's words, so she felt relieved.
After asking about this matter, Xiao Jin lifted her head and looked at Su Tan, who was standing by the pond. "Doctor Su, long time no see. Please come inside for a chat."
...
After entering the hall, there was no need for Liu Tianya to guard Su Tan anymore.
After entering the hall, Liu Tianya didn't need to keep watch over Su Tan anymore.
Before leaving, he whispered to Chu Shao, "Princess, the poison on Wushuang's body..."
Chu Shao nodded and smiled, "Don't worry, this is a poison made by Doctor Su herself. There must be a way to cure it."
Liu Tianya was relieved and gave Chu Shao a deep look before leaving.
Su Tan was left with doubts, "Princess, what poison did the disciple of Master Liu get?"
Chu Shao didn't answer and instead asked, "Do you remember giving me some medicine before we went to Qingzhou?"
Su Tan pondered for a moment and nodded, "I remember."
Chu Shao smiled and said softly, "There were many poisons mixed in, but I didn't know which bottle had what effect. So to be safe, I mixed all the poisons together in one bottle. When the time comes, the medicine person can administer it with one strike, without any mistakes."
Xiao Jin and Su Tan: "..."
They remembered that Chu Shao had used the essential oil that Su Tan gave her for massage before.
Xiao Jin touched her still-beating pulse and suddenly felt that she was still lucky.
Su Tan had a headache, "Mixing multiple poisons together like this, I won't be able to cure it for a while."
