Chapter 2003: Chapter 2003: Master’s Wife (1)
Xu Mengying watched all of this, completely unable to accept it, suddenly rolled her eyes, and fainted.
The mistress of Anning County was trembling all over, unable to accept either that Yang Ruxin was not the murderer or that her granddaughter was involved in witchcraft. In the end, she simply fainted as well.
Wang Jingze instructed his brother-in-law Xu Menghai and his wife to take the people back to rest while he stayed behind.
"Can my wife’s suspicion be cleared?" Gu Qingheng glanced at the crowd, "Can I take her away now?"
Jiang Boye exchanged glances with a few others and then looked toward the Crown Prince, as he held the highest official position here.
"Why are you all looking at Brother Crown Prince?" Qi Jingyi was displeased, "Madam Ruyi was obviously falsely accused."
The Crown Prince also nodded, "Although the real culprit is still at large, Madam Ruyi’s suspicion can be cleared."
"I hereby announce that Madam Ruyi is not the murderer of Wang Zhengzheng, and she is to be released immediately..."
"Xinxin, that’s great news." Zheng Xianrou and Hen Ziyue ran in together, "This is a lesson for you too; don’t just help anyone out of the goodness of your heart in the future..."
Wang Jingze’s face turned a bit grim.
Yang Ruxin weakly smiled, too exhausted to speak.
Gu Qingheng simply carried her like a princess in his arms.
"Madam, please wait, could you inform us about this poison..." Hen Bingwen hurried over.
"This poison is called Biluo, brought from the Western Regions, and is known for its dominant toxicity. Moreover, it is incurable." Just then, Nian Qianqian, dressed in white with white hair, entered holding Xiaozi, "I didn’t expect it to reappear!"
"Elder?" Upon hearing Nian Qianqian’s voice, Yang Ruxin involuntarily opened her eyes. Biluo? It’s a nice name, but once consumed, it doesn’t lead to the heavens; instead, it takes you to the underworld.
"This poison has no antidote, not even its creator has one." Nian Qianqian glanced at Yang Ruxin, "However, later on, someone did develop an antidote..." She paused here, her expression inexplicable, "Since then, the poison disappeared, but it’s surprising to see it reappear now..."
"Esteemed elder, you..." The Crown Prince respectfully moved forward and paid his respects to Nian Qianqian.
"I am the wife of Gu Qingheng’s master." Nian Qianqian was straightforward.
Yang Ruxin and Gu Qingheng exchanged glances, both feeling a bit helpless.
Everyone showed expressions of surprise; many knew Gu Qingheng had a martial arts-skilled Taoist master, but they didn’t expect there to be a master’s wife too, and such a beautiful one at that.
However, it was apparent that this woman was highly skilled in martial arts.
"This poison is not something someone of Yang Ruxin’s level could concoct, and of course, your Imperial Hospital physicians wouldn’t manage it either." Nian Qianqian looked up at the Crown Prince, "Therefore, suspecting Yang Ruxin as the murderer is ridiculous..."
"Then why didn’t you come forward earlier to clarify?" Jiang Boye was somewhat frustrated.
"I wanted to see Dao Xuzi’s judgment, and it turned out that this disciple was well-chosen, as she proved her own innocence, didn’t she?"
Jiang Boye almost spat out two liters of blood.
"Well done, girl." Nian Qianqian smiled at Yang Ruxin and then turned to leave.
"Elder." Jiang Boye suddenly bounded over to block Nian Qianqian’s path, "Elder, please lend a hand, you must know who the murderer is if you understand this poison, right? Please help, such an act is as meritorious as building a Seven-level Pagoda..." In matters concerning the martial world, his skills were indeed lacking.
