Seeing Liu Shimei’s shock, Mu Jiangli continued, “Since you’re investigating your brother’s case, you should know that Wu Qiang was the bodyguard of Young Master Liu. However, he fell into a trap. In the short moment he left, Young Master Liu was fatally trampled under a horse’s hooves. Wu Qiang has always been haunted by guilt over this.”
Liu Shimei fell silent.
Was it really a trap?
So, Wu Qiang wasn’t the one who harmed her brother?
And everything Mu Jiangli said, was it all true?
Even though Liu Shimei subconsciously didn’t want to doubt Mu Jiangli, she couldn’t help but remain cautious.
She was slow to make friends, and even if it seemed like they were friends at first, true friendship required observation.
It might only be at a certain time, at a certain moment, that a genuine bond could be formed.
Mu Jiangli continued, “Just a startled horse wouldn’t necessarily overpower Young Master Liu. But the reason he fell and was trampled to death was because a colorless, odorless substance was applied to the horse’s reins. Similar to Soft Tendon Powder, but not quite.”
“So, do you know what it is?” Liu Shimei widened her eyes, staring at Mu Jiangli. “Brother Mu, you’re known as the Medicine Lord; surely you know?”
Mu Jiangli nodded. “That substance is called Hell King’s Ruin. Even if your brother hadn’t been trampled to death by an enraged horse, he would eventually lose his martial skills and gradually have his meridians wither away. Within three years, he would be reduced to a useless person!”
“What!” Liu Shimei was even more astonished!
The goal wasn’t just to strip away his martial skills; it was to cause his meridians to wither away?
In other words, the intention behind poisoning him like this was to ensure that Liu Quan would achieve nothing!
Because if it had merely been about disabling his martial skills, he could still rely on his literary talents and become a civil servant.
But with withered meridians, his ultimate fate would be death!
Mu Jiangli’s lips curled into a scornful smile as he said, “The poison from Hell King’s Ruin is extremely subtle. Your elder brother must not have known about it before. It surged uncontrollably after the first outbreak. Obviously, the person who poisoned him was very familiar with the situation and chose the right moment to strike. Young Master Liu was in the midst of a startled horse, precisely when the poison flared up. Naturally, he couldn’t hold onto the horse, and the hooves came down with no strength to evade.”
“How do you know all this?” Liu Shimei found it hard to imagine!
She didn’t understand the martial world, but it felt incredibly intricate!
And the affairs of the court were unexpectedly intertwined with Jianghu?
Liu Quan had a bright future ahead, yet someone had gone to great lengths to target him. The complications were astounding!
And the choice of timing for the attack indicated that the poisoner must be someone close?
Could it be Wen Gui?
Mu Jiangli replied, “Because Hell King’s Ruin originates from the Colored Glass Pavilion. Of course, the Colored Glass Pavilion’s transactions never inquire about the identity of the buyers or how the purchased poison will be used. That’s the rule of the martial world. But Wu Qiang suspected this, so he intruded into the Thousand Butterfly Valley to meet the owner of the Colored Glass Pavilion. That’s when he discovered the truth. He had been poisoned for so long, his master, whom he was supposed to protect, had no idea, didn’t know who did it. So… he changed his name to Wu Duosi and started challenging experts, seeking death!”
Liu Shimei,”!!!”
This story was beyond bizarre; it was downright fantastical!
Dealing with a Grand Chancellor’s legitimate son so ruthlessly and with such elaborate planning.
Could it be… there was more to it than just usurping the title?
If there were other reasons, then it was highly likely that Madam Zhang wasn’t the one behind it!
Or perhaps, Madam Zhang did it, but in reality, she was being manipulated by someone else?
Frowning, she asked again, “Lord Mu, has Wu Qiang found out who the enemy is?”
