Chapter 339 - No Return (2)

At the wedding banquet, Helian Qi had humiliated Xiao Zhenting in a hundred ways. Now that he had been beaten into a pig’s head, the magistrate could vent his anger. However, he still had to do some acting. “…Sirs, don’t worry. I will definitely investigate this case thoroughly and strive to find the culprit as soon as possible!”

Find my head! The murderer was simply a hero of the nation!

The magistrate seriously suspected that it was either the little lunatic or Xiao Zhenting, but he had no evidence.

However, this was not important. What was important was that he had really f*cking beaten him up!

The people of Nanzhao also understood that the Great Zhou’s magistrate prefecture would not seek justice for Helian Qi. They did not stay in the magistrate prefecture for long and brought him back to the temporary palace.

There were experienced imperial physicians in the entourage of Nanzhao. However, the imperial physicians found that the poison that Helian Qi was poisoned with was not an ordinary poison. It seemed to be Gu poison. The doctors of the Central Plains were not good at this. The Gu poison of Southern Xinjiang was rampant, and the doctors had more or less dabbled in it. However, the Gu poison in Helian Qi’s body was very powerful, and it was difficult for the imperial physicians to treat it. They had no choice but to invite the State Preceptor over.

The State Preceptor took Helian Qi’s pulse. “It’s the Hundred Gu King.”

Everyone was shocked.

General Wei Yuan had been beaten up by someone. The culprit was most likely from the Central Plains, but how could there be a Gu worm in the Central Plains?

The State Preceptor also took the coachman’s pulse. He was also poisoned by the Hundred Gu King.

Everyone was even more dumbfounded. One Gu King was not enough, but two came? When did the Central Plains have such experts? Could it be that the culprit who beat up General Wei Yuan was a Gu Master?

But how could there be a Gu Master in the Central Plains?

Everyone looked at the State Preceptor eagerly. He was the only envoy who was proficient in Gu techniques.

The State Preceptor frowned. “It wasn’t me! I didn’t beat him up!”

“Oh.” Everyone lowered their heads, not knowing if they believed him.

The State Preceptor knew that he was innocent, but a Gu Master who could take out two Hundred Gu Kings at once was definitely not an ordinary Gu Master. Why would such a person appear in the Central Plains? Was it a coincidence, or was there an unspeakable motive?

In the Young Master Manor, the three little fatties had washed up. They lay on the chaise longue covered with a cloth and obediently let Yu Wan wipe them. As Yu Wan wiped them, she felt that the three of them seemed to have gained two pounds of fat.

Yu Wan put on their clothes and pinched their noses. “Alright, it’s time to go back to your room and sleep.”

The three of them refused to leave.

Yu Wan looked at the three of them and said, “What’s wrong? Did you get frightened by what happened during the day?”

Thinking about it, it made sense. They were so young, but a bearded man suddenly rushed out and refused to let go of Bai Tang. How could they not be frightened?

Yu Wan said, “Sleep with me tonight.”

The eyes of the three of them instantly lit up!

Yu Wan brought the three frightened (not) little fellows back to the upper room. She took off their shoes and laid them down. She pulled the blanket over them. “I’ll go take a shower. You guys sleep first. There’s Fu Ling guarding the door. Don’t be afraid.”

The three of them nodded obediently.

My sons are the best. The most obedient in the world. Yu Wan smiled in relief. She kissed their foreheads, took her clothes, and went to the bath.

Inside the curtain, the three of them lifted the blanket. Dabao pressed down on Er’bao, and Er’bao pressed down on Xiaobao and started fighting on the bed.

Creak—

The door was pushed open.

Yu Wan gently walked in. She had missed a dudou.

Yu Wan took the dudou and lifted the curtain to look at the three fat little fellows with their eyes closed. Dabao was hugging Er’bao and Er’bao was hugging Xiaobao. The scene was extremely loving. Yu Wan’s heart was about to melt. She gently put down the curtain and quietly left.

When Yu Wan returned to the room after taking a shower, the three little fellows were already so tired that they fell asleep. However, she did not know if it was the light or her imagination, but she felt that the three little fat fellows’ faces were a little swollen.

After taking off her shoes, Yu Wan also lay back down. Yan Jiuchao got someone to pass a message that he had entered the palace and told her not to wait for him for dinner, but he did not say to not wait for him to go to bed. Yu Wan wanted to wait.

As usual, Yu Wan took out a book to read. This was given to her by Nanny Wan. It was somewhat similar to the Great Zhou’s public map, but it was richer. It recorded the local customs, famous people, and interesting things. Compared to the boring royal family genealogy, this book was clearly more interesting. In the past, Yu Wan would always read it with relish, but tonight, she only flipped through two to three pages before yawning. She forced herself to hold on for a while and really couldn’t take it anymore. She tilted her head and dozed off.

She swore that she only wanted to take a nap, but when she opened her eyes, it was already dawn.

She looked confused.

“Young Madam, you’re awake?”

It was Zi Su’s voice.

“Fu Ling, quickly report to Young Master that Young Madam has woken up!”

Fu Ling rushed over.
