Chapter 148 Returning to Chilinpo
Just then, news arrived that someone was requesting an audience with Jiang Qingyue.
Jiang Qingyue then realized that the seven-day period had already passed.
"Grandpa, you need to keep up the act for a while longer." Now that Gu Linsen has woken up, only Qin Xuanyu, Jiang Qingyue, General Zuo, and another trusted confidant know about it, and they won't tell anyone.
Therefore, it's better to play along and make them believe that Gu Linsen is truly beyond redemption.
"Okay, don't worry, just be careful too."
In the reception room, Jiang Qingyue saw the eunuch again.
At this moment, he was looking at Jiang Qingyue with a beaming smile, as if victory was already in his grasp.
"Miss Jiang, how is it? Today, our family is waiting for your good news."
"Yes, so I've thought it through." Jiang Qingyue smiled, giving the eunuch the impression that he had prepared his explanation.
However, Jiang Qingyue's next words completely froze his smile.
“I—do—not—agree—” Jiang Qingyue said, each word distinct and forceful.
The eunuch's eyes widened. "You...you...you...don't forget, your maternal grandfather also..."
"Of course I know, but you are not sincere either. I happened to meet a disciple of the Medical Sect who was on a training trip and learned that the antidote you gave me could only temporarily suppress the symptoms."
But in seven days, it will completely erupt and become even more serious. At that time, I will have no choice but to agree. You've really got a good plan!
Jiang Qingyue ruthlessly exposed this fact, which made the eunuch feel embarrassed for a moment.
Of course he knew that the Crown Prince had made it clear, but how could Jiang Qingyue know about the Medical Sect? Why was she so lucky to encounter the Medical Sect?
However, there's no need to worry about that.
"Miss Jiang, surely the medical school also said that there is no antidote for this poison?" the eunuch said confidently.
"Heh, there's no antidote, so why are you threatening me with this?" Jiang Qingyue sneered, directly refuting the eunuch, leaving him speechless.
"I didn't give that medicine to my grandfather." After saying that, Jiang Qingyue threw the pills back to the eunuch. "Keep this for your prince!"
Now that I have a member of the Medical School, I can control my grandfather's condition. Go back and tell the Crown Prince that unless I personally see that the antidote you deliver can completely cure my grandfather, then we can consider it again!
After saying that, Jiang Qingyue immediately called out, "Someone, see the guests out!"
The eunuch was thrown out, which made him so angry he was about to go crazy.
This Jiang Qingyue is so stubborn, she won't listen to reason.
No, we must go back and report to the Crown Prince immediately!
Jiang Qingyue, who had already driven away the eunuch, breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, fortune and misfortune are intertwined. Because of this move, Qin Jinghao probably didn't have that much surveillance on them, which gave them an opportunity instead.
Jiang Qingyue also told Gu Linsen what she had seen at Chilinpo.
Upon learning this, Gu Linsen knew it was a golden opportunity. He could use the excuse that he was not yet in a good position to lower Qin Jinghao's guard while he secretly investigated the situation at Chilinpo.
He is determined to bring down the Crown Prince!
After discussing it, the group decided to secretly investigate the situation at Chilinpo again. Meanwhile, Jiang Qingyue and Wuming went to Chilinpo again to divert everyone's attention and prevent them from suspecting them.
So, the group divided the work, with Qin Xuanyu secretly leading the Shadow Blades to investigate. They were the best candidates because of their agility and excellent lightness skills.
As for Gu Linsen, Jiang Qingyue helped him disguise himself, making him look like an ordinary fisherman.
So, the three of them went to Chilinpo again.
When the village chief saw Jiang Qingyue again, he was somewhat shocked. "Why are you back again?"
At the same time, he was also secretly observing his surroundings, afraid that the person behind him would find out and make a move against Jiang Qingyue.
At the same time, he noticed that Wuming seemed to be much better. "Your brother is... healed?"
Jiang Qingyue smiled and nodded, "Yes, although the muteness couldn't be cured, the serious illness I had last time was cured."
At the same time, Jiang Qingyue introduced to the village chief, "This old man Qi is my mother's adoptive father, and he is also my maternal grandfather. I went out this time for another purpose, which is to ask him for help."
Because after my mother passed away, my father remarried and, claiming we were unlucky, kicked us out. Thankfully, we finally found my maternal grandfather; it was he who cured my brother's serious illness.
Then, Jiang Qingyue nodded to Gu Linsen, who handed the village chief a wooden box. "I heard from my granddaughter that you helped them before, which is why I was able to see them again. So, I had her bring me here right away. This is a small token of my gratitude."
The village chief took the wooden box with a puzzled look, but when he opened it, he almost dropped it.
He looked at Gu Linsen in shock, "Old man, this...this...this is unacceptable!"
After saying that, the village chief pushed the box back, "No matter what, their mother has a connection with Zhou E and can be considered half a person from Chilinpo. It's just a small matter, so we should help if we can."
"No, thank you anyway. Please accept this, or I'll feel bad." Gu Linsen acted generously, and in the end, the village chief relented.
"Alright, please stay here for now. I'll make some arrangements tonight to treat you well." The village chief was genuinely happy for them.
After settling the three people in, the village chief immediately went to the back mountain to see the man in black robes, told him everything, and handed over the gift of gratitude that Gu Linsen had given him.
That was pure, hard silver.
However, the man in black robes did not accept it, but instead stared at the village chief for a moment.
The village chief quickly and respectfully explained, "Don't worry, sir. I understand. We'll have them leave tomorrow. I'll treat them to a meal today, but I also wanted to report to you."
The man in black robes nodded and disappeared from the village chief's sight once again.
That evening, the village chief gave them a very grand reception.
When the village chief returned to his house drunk that night, his consciousness was completely clouded.
His eyes were blurry, and his mind was blank.
At that moment, the door opened.
The village chief turned around and saw a person radiating light walking in front of him, and all his attention was focused on this person.
Actually, the person who came was Jiang Qingyue. During the meal, she secretly put a drug in the village chief's tea, which was able to temporarily control the village chief's mind. Although it didn't last long, it was enough.
"I'm asking you, what are they doing on the back mountain?" Jiang Qingyue went straight to the point, saving time.
The village chief tilted his head, seemingly deep in thought.
After a long while, he finally spoke slowly, "Make...make something."
"doing what?"
"What should I do? I can't say." The village chief was still subconsciously resisting.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Qingyue asked again, while shaking the incense in her hand, making the village chief even more confused.
"Make...hehe, make...silver!"
