“Is Wu Dao in a good mood?” Su Yingxue narrowed her eyes slightly. Although Saint Ruan had only encountered Wu Dao twice, she found this enigmatic person unlikely to be so bored.
Saint Ruan crossed his legs and curled his lips uncomfortably. “I’m a poison doctor. How would 1 know about such matters? But 1 do recall your mother mentioning it to me when we met! She was working on a method, though I’m unsure if it was successful.”
“What method was my mother researching?” At the mention of Long Shuli, Su Yingxue’s eyes lit up.
“How should 1 know?” Saint Ruan rolled his eyes. “Back then, she mentioned it cryptically, fearing that I might attract trouble. She didn’t disclose much!”
Although he had investigated and suspected Long Shuli was developing a poison, he lacked evidence. Long Shuli, with her profound knowledge and a heart as intricate as a seven-holed exquisite jade, seemed to understand everything.
If she chose to be mysterious, he couldn’t fathom what she was up to. However, whenever she needed assistance, he willingly lent a hand.
Su Yingxue’s knowledge about her mother’s affairs was fragmented and scattered.
To uncover the truth behind her mother’s death, she needed to engage with Wu Dao and delve into the mysteries surrounding him.
Observing Su Yingxue’s expression, Saint Ruan playfully remarked, “Su Yingxue, are you considering provoking Wu Dao?”
Pursing her lips, Su Yingxue replied, “Considering the current situation, he’s the one targeting me. Liu Shulan knows nothing about medicine. He’s responsible for poisoning my father!”
Moreover, the circumstances leading her to find Saint Ruan and perform the surgery for her father were likely within Wu Dao’s expectations.
Every appearance of Wu Dao heightened the unease.
To resolve this, she had to take the initiative!
Upon hearing these words, Saint Ruan felt like dragging her away quickly. “I’m telling you, no one dares to oppose Wu Dao, not even an emperor of the four countries and nine provinces. The only outcome is death, with incalculable consequences. Don’t get into trouble!”
“This is beyond my control. Besides, my mother’s death is not something Wu Dao can dictate.”
Su Yingxue touched her nose. In her second chance at life, she had to take charge!
Although Saint Ruan vehemently opposed it, seeing Su Yingxue’s expression resembling Long Shuli’s left him with no grounds to object.
He sighed and shrugged helplessly. “If you want to meet Wu Dao, you’ll have an opportunity soon.”
“What opportunity is coming?” Su Yingxue inquired.
“The court meeting of the four kingdoms is hosted by the Great Cheng Dynasty this year, and the Silver Moon Pavilion Master must attend.” Saint Ruan crossed his arms, blinking with a hint of charm.
“The court meeting of the four countries…” Su Yingxue recalled. In her previous life, her reputation was tarnished, and Su Dingheng and Liu Shulan never informed her about attending the court meeting. Instead, they confined her within the Marquis’ Manor.
After the court session, when she finally went out, she discovered the events that transpired in those few days.
At that time, she was still mocked by a few noble ladies, saying that she was a shameful thing and did not even know about the grand event that happened once every four years.
From that moment, her sense of inferiority intensified.
Su Yingxue narrowed her eyes. “Then I’ll wait for Wu Dao at this court session!”
Su Yingxue had been studying her medical skills, and Chu Yihan had arrived before the court session..
