“Yes, of course! I’ll give you a jar of spirit wine. If my uncle asks about the origin of the spirit wine, how would you answer him?”

“Oh! That’s easy. I’ll just tell him that I bought it from a vendor. He would not be able to tell whether I’m lying or telling the truth because of his intelligence.” Master Nalan was serious.

It seemed that the word ‘vendor’ was overused.

“By the way, you just give the spirit wine to His Majesty. If you have any extra spirit wine then only you give it to me. Do you understand? His Majesty’s health is the most important thing!” Master Nalan was anxious and he warned Feng Ruqing.

“Don’t worry. It’ll be enough.” Feng Ruqing’s eyes narrowed. “Don’t tell anybody of my father’s illness, not even he himself.”

‘My father intends to die. If he knows about this, he’ll surely go ahead with it. I’ll not be able to save him then even if I have strong power.”

“Qing’er, what poison is that?” Master Nalan frowned.

“Clear-heart Poison.”

‘Clear-heart Poison?’

Master Nalan was stunned for a while. “I have not heard of it before.”

“Clear-heart Poison. If anybody is poisoned with this poison, it’ll spread in the person’s body in a few months and he will die. If the person has a relationship with a woman, the person will die on the spot. It seems that my father was poisoned after my mother was pregnant.”

Master Nalan was shocked. It seemed that he had just met Feng Ruqing for the first time and he looked at her without uttering a word.

‘When did Qing’er become so knowledgeable?’

“Whoever who is poisoned must live with a pure heart and without any desire only then can he stop the spread of the poison. It could be stopped with some tactics too. But, if that person has unsettled emotions, the poison cannot be stopped. However, there’s somebody who is helping my father. Even if it does spread again, it wouldn’t be soon.”

‘So, my father’s illness is related to my mother’s death.

‘Her death had made my father so devastated that the poison could not be stopped. If that person who is helping him was not powerful, my father would not have been able to live until now.’

“Moreover…” Feng Ruqing stopped for a while before she continued talking. “No matter what you do, those suffering from this poison must not have relationships with other people. If not, he’ll die.”

“…” Master Nalan was so shocked that his eyes widened in disbelief.

‘Noble Consort Rong was soon pregnant after the death of the empress, a year later.

‘That’s the first woman His Majesty had had after the death of the empress.’

Master Nalan was quite angry with His Majesty at that time because the empress had just passed away. However, he soon forgave His Majesty because His Majesty did not bother about Noble Consort Rong and her daughter.

‘But, who knew? Feng Ruqing was bought over by Noble Consort Rong. I was infuriated.’

“Qing’er, are you sure about this? Was His Majesty poisoned when Yan’er was pregnant? Are you sure His Majesty was not poisoned after Noble Consort Rong’s pregnancy?”

Feng Ruqing smiled softly. “If my mother was not dead, the poison would not spread. If you don’t believe me, you can go ahead and ask my father about the time when he started to feel discomfort in his body. Furthermore, I can easily tell the time when he was poisoned since I can tell what kind of poison was that.”

“…”

Feng Ruqing’s words made a lot of sense. Master Nalan then kept silent.

‘I’ll surely believe what my granddaughter said.

‘It means that…

‘Feng Rushuang…’

‘Grandpa, don’t spread this. If others know about this, the people who are hiding will surely be more careful. Then, I’ll not be able to investigate it anymore.” There was a coldness in Feng Ruqing’s eyes. “Moreover, I’ll tell only you about this. I’ll not even tell my uncle.”
