Chapter 200: 200

The poison was a bit tricky --- it wasn't that dangerous as long as it was treated by her acupuncture at the right time. However, if it was already passed the golden time, then there was also nothing that she could do, except prolonging his life.

Yao Ling made this poison by learning from a rare book that she saw at Wang Luo Hai's study room. Yao Ying brought it back to her because of her request ---of course, with Wang Luo Hai's permission. Thus, she was able to learn various types of poison. It was important for her, after all, she needed more knowledge to understand Mei Li Gu Niang's poison.

For the last reason, Wang Luo Hai was oblivious about it. They didn't dare to tell him Yao Ying's abnormality until they were sure the reason why Yao Ying wasn't affected by it.

Yao Ling already counted the days and today is the last day for the golden time. Hmmm... this general was quite lucky. At first, she thought that it was better if he died because it would be easier to take Han Xiang along with them. However, looking at Xiao Fang's situation, they needed this general's presence as a witness that Xiao Fang was innocent.

Xiao Fang had helped them and they wanted to pay her back in return.

Yao Ling told Xiao Yu to prepare her silver needles, while she explained a little bit more about his condition to General Hu.

"Gong zi, in order to heal your body, I need to do a series of acupuncture. May I?" Yao Ling asked after Xiao Yu came back with the silver needles.

General Hu had no other choice and he agreed. After the treatment, General Hu was able to feel that his body felt a bit better. His eyes brightened and he quickly gave his thank to Yao Ling. He could feel the stuffy feeling on his chest had been reduced greatly after Yao Ling's meticulous acupuncture. A few numb parts on his body were also getting better.

General Hu hesitantly asked, "Have you been in the city for a long time?" He decided to ask the latest situation to Yao Ling without trying to look so obvious.

Yao Ling smiled. "A few days. I'm coming here for a honeymoon. However, it seems like I meet a lot of people that need to be treated." She said in a joking manner, trying to lighten up the mood.

General Hu felt embarrassed and slightly coughed. He knew that Yao Ling was only joking but somehow he felt guilty. On the other hand, he felt a bit unsettled when he heard that she was already married. 'Ha~ Why all the good women had been married so fast?' He thought to himself.

"Does something happen in this city recently?" General Hu asked. "I mean... is there anything interesting?"

Yao Ling nodded and recited the part where a bunch of scholars trying to create a ruckus. General Hu furrowed his eyebrows and asked, "And then?"

"My husband stopped them with his words... However, it's too bad... Even though my husband was able to stop them, but the wedding entourage still got into an unfortunate accident."

General Hu looked up in surprise. "Everyone knows about this already?"

Yao Ling nodded. "Yes ah~ the news has been spread widely..."

General Hu started to suspect Xiao Fang once again. If it wasn't her doing, how come the news could be spread so fast?

Yao Ling nodded, "Yes ah~ a few days ago, I saw the young miss that just called me to treat you at the same restaurant. She wanted to jump on defense for the princess but my husband stopped her and helped her. After all, there was no point in getting angry over those bunch of scholars."

General Hu furrowed his eyebrows. If she was the one who instigated this, why should she want to jump on their defense? This woman didn't know who they were so there was no use for her to say some good words for Xiao Fang. "Oh... so you already know each other beforehand?" General Hu tried to gauge their relationship.

"No... we just met at that time. After that, we talked to each other once or twice. Why?" Yao Ling asked in confusion.

"Nothing..." General Hu answered, but he seemed to be deep in thought. "Do you know who spread the rumor about the attacked wedding entourage?"

Yao Ling shook her head. "No... but someone said that some people passed by the entourage when they were attacked. However, they didn't dare to help. The rumor probably came from them..." Yao Ling guessed.

Yao Ling deliberately tried to clear up Xiao Fang's name in front of the general, but she didn't dare to do it in an obvious way --- she would take it slow. At least, the doubt in General Hu's eyes already lessened for a bit. Yao Ling felt like someone had been feeding misleading information about Xiao Fang and probably including her family. Did someone want to target Xiao Fang or her family?

For handling Xiao Fang, she presumed they didn't need to involve a general. She had never asked but she wondered what kind of background that Xiao Fang had --- it seemed like her father was a high ranking official in the Han Kingdom.

Yao Ling asked, "Gong Zi, what happened to you if I may ask? This poison is quite rare..."

General Hu nodded and answered her, "Someone attacked me and my friends. Gu Niang, do you know about this poison?" General Hu didn't divulge any information but he was interested in the poison.

They brought one physician on their side and he couldn't find out what kind of poison was this, but it seemed like this gu niang knew about it.

Yao Ling nodded. "This is a poison that came from the Qin Kingdom. I used to follow my old master to treat patients and learn more about poison, hence I have a quite vast knowledge about poison." Yao Ling didn't even bat an eye when she was lying.

"Qin Kingdom?" General Hu was quite surprised by this revelation. If this was Qin Kingdom's poison, didn't it mean those bandits should be from there? Or someone deliberately wanted to frame the Qin Kingdom? He thought that a simple young miss like Xiao Fang wouldn't be able this far ahead.

"Yes... The Qin Kingdom." Yao Ling said confidently --- she was the one who prepared it so she should know better. She chose one of the Qin Kingdom's rare poison --- it was actually easy to make once she had enough ingredients. Wang Luo Hai knew this talent of her and he was the one who provided her with the ingredients secretly, so no one in Wang Fu would be able to find out her talent.

For this trip, she had prepared several poisons, who knew that it would actually come in handy.

"But why would...?" General Hu almost blurted out something but he held himself back. He almost discussed this with the beautiful woman, luckily he stopped in time.

Yao Ling asked quizzically, "Why would what?"

General Hu knew that if he stopped midway, the beautiful woman would feel even more suspicious. "Why the Qin poison ended up in the bandits that attacked me?"

"Ah! you are also attacked by bandits..." Yao Ling pretended to nod in understanding. "Where did they attack you? Qin territory or Han territory? If Qin territory, you shouldn't be this surprised... So... I think it should be in Han territory, right?"

General Hu hesitantly nodded, hoping that she wouldn't put him together with the wedding entourage. He didn't trust her enough to give her his real identity.

"Haiyah~ it seems like Han territory isn't that safe anymore. If you want this kind of poison, even though it's rare but it's easy to find them on the black market," Yao Ling said. Then she added in confusion, "But... why would they go as far to buy poison from another country."

Yao Ling shook her head and exclaimed, "So weird!" She pretended to be oblivious.

General Hu nodded his head a few times. Indeed, this matter was too weird. There were only two possibilities... The Qin Kingdom wanted to frame the Shu Kingdom or the other way around. General Hu didn't realize that he already excluded Xiao Fang from this matter.
