The eunuch outside the door had thought that they would wait for a long time.

In less than an hour, the door was opened by Duan Chengxuan himself. Even Lady Liu'er, who was dressed in the clothes of a female official, did not notice. The sensible eunuch quickly bowed and asked, "After His Highness Duke of Jing, who …"

"Since royal brother is not in a good position to see this king, then bring this king to the Li Palace." Duan Chengxuan waved his robe and didn't wait for his father-in-law to ask the second question. He looked at him coldly and said, "Tell me, this king's body was poisoned from the border. I haven't seen Princess Erdan on my way, and her whereabouts aren't known."

"This... This servant should have asked the Emperor for his opinion. " The eunuch frowned.

"That's how it should be. If anyone asks me about the poison this king has been infected with, they would say that it's the poison from the stem of the phoenix gall. This poison is extremely rare and difficult to dispel, but it's also a necessary ingredient in the matter of immortality." Finished speaking, Duan Chengxuan left without looking back.

The eunuch behind him hurried to catch up, but he did not understand the meaning behind this action.

Yun Xiao pulled down the black cloth over his face within his bedroom. "To think that I did not think that this Immortal Deity Technique would use poison to prolong my life."

"Master, although you are very poisonous, who in the world would know that poison can prolong one's life?" Liu'er, who was at her side, clenched her hands nervously. When she heard the news about the young miss' current situation, she couldn't help but feel worried.

Yun Wanshan opened her mouth, but the words she used to reprimand Liu'er for Gu Liuyan did not come out.

Back then, I thought that the reason behind the Yun clan and the Zhu clan's medicine concocting was just to simply study it. Now, it seems that they just wanted to try this poison life-prolonging method, and after Tie Lingdang's poison ancestor was passed down, I did not pay much attention to it. It's just strange that we would need to consume the poison ourselves for generations before being able to cure it. "However, Yan'Er has already solved more than half of the riddle. Even if you want to create a shrine in the water, and attract attention, you still can't get rid of the root of this idea."

Then why did he have to make it so big?

Yun Wan felt that this matter was not known.

That night, the news of Princess Dan's disappearance, the poison in King Jing's body, and the collapse of the Shrine of Waterfall had spread throughout the entire Sky Fire City. Many Godly Doctor had found this phoenix gall stem legend, and they only hoped to give it a handsome reward after removing the poison from King Jing's body.

The collapse of the Shrine of Falling Water caused quite a commotion in the martial arts world. There were even some people who said that it was because of the arrival of the calamity that led to the war between the three kingdoms, which should have been stable, over the past few years.

At this moment, outside Sky Flame City.

Duan Feng still needed seven or eight days to get to Sky Flame City.

Gu Cheng and he had taken turns to look after Gu Daiyan over the past few days. Today, when they were by the tea stand, they had heard these fictitious rumors, and this young fellow had started a ruckus, crying and wanting to find his poisoned father and meeting his mother. After a whole night of crying, Qing Ze's eyes were swollen like walnuts.

Duan Feng was woken up by his child's wailing. She crawled up from his bed and pushed open the door with a bang before she could grab her coat. She grabbed Blue's collar and threw the little guy onto Gu Daiyan's bed and angrily said, "If you f * cking make another noise, I'll chop you two into pieces and feed the dog to the dog!"

Qing held her neck and shrank back, but she stopped crying.

Gu Cheng, who had followed the sound from the door, saw that Duan Feng had no idea how she had hidden her temper, and said in a deep voice, "Gu Pingyan is someone who doesn't take it to heart. How dare you …"

"What can this damned brat and that Little Wumianzi do? Stop talking nonsense and think about what we should do when we get back to Sky Flame City!" This King Jing actually has the gall to be poisoned by the poison of the Phoenix. Duan Feng shut the door behind him with a bang and quickly returned to her room.

By his side, Eunuch Wu shook his head repeatedly. He did not know how such a master had appeared, but he could only look towards Gu Cheng. "Milord, this …"

"Forget it, a child can't do anything." Gu Cheng sighed as he faced the door, not blaming Duan Feng at all. He only coldly asked, "Where's Yu Xuan?"

"Your subordinate is here." The paralyzed man walked out from the corner with a cup of tea that the waiter had brought up. It seemed that he had blocked the waiter's path on the stairs.

"How much of the news about Sky Flame City is fake?"

"The Emperor has already believed seventy percent of the information, and is preparing to settle all the matters, including the matter of the Third Prince and the Sixth Prince colluding against the Empire. However, the strange thing is that the Emperor did not let King Zong Ping interfere in this matter, and instead placed King Jing and the Third Prince in his mansion." Yu Hong's expression changed slightly as he walked forward, and then he said, "As for the matter of the Jing King's poisoning, it is five out of five true."

"What do you mean?" Gu Cheng frowned.

If Duan Chengxuan was really poisoned by the phoenix gall stem, where did the poison come from, and who was the one who poisoned him next?

"Prince Zong Ping's mansion is currently surrounded by the people from the justice courts. The three doctors from the Hall of Healing have all gone, and they've also sent medicine nonstop." However, his gaze landed on the door in front of him, "In addition to this, the medicine house that Gu Pingyan left behind has been surrounded, and all of the ingredients inside have been sent to the Prince Zong's house. After this subordinate's investigation, the purpose of Duke Jing agreeing to marry Gu Danyan was to obtain Jade Dragon Snow and the courage of the phoenix. The poison in the stem of the Phoenix's gall bladder must have been poisoned by Duke Jing himself. "

As he spoke, Eunuch Wu sucked in a breath of cold air.

Gu Cheng's fist creaked. "So you think that the key to the mystery of longevity lies in the poison from the phoenix gall root?"

"Your subordinate does indeed think so." There was a small twitch at the corner of Yu Hong's mouth.

After walking around in circles, could it be that he had returned to the beginning of everything?

It was not that he did not know that Jade Dragon Snow and the Phoenix's gall were on Yun Qingyang back then, but it was a pity that the Yun family secret recipe was only used to protect his life. Furthermore, even though the Jade Dragon Snow and the Phoenix's gall were few in number, they were much more common than those sacred objects that were hard to find in a thousand years.

If it was a rhizome, the rhizome must have been born somewhere.

"But the Jing King doesn't know …"

"Don't forget that Gu Danyan had previously gone to his army camp. With Jing Wang's proud and aloof personality, he had never done so many things. Even though he was poisoned, he had caused such a huge commotion. I wonder if that is true or not." Yu Hong said as his eyes darkened.

So what if it was half true and half false?
