The poison that Yao Yue fed Zhuang Xuan was the poison that Yu Shaozhong had left for him.
Yu Shaozhong was the one who had refined the poison, and he was the only one who had refined the antidote.
Back then, Wei Qianxiang and Wu Chexin had been controlled by the same poison.
Yao Yue said to Zhuang Xuan, "This is a unique poison. You'll be fine for a month after eating it. However, if you don't have the antidote after that, you'll definitely die. You better know your limits."
After saying that, Yao Yue pushed Zhuang Xuan away.
Zhuang Xuan finally had some breathing space. After absorbing a few drops of the poison, he glared at Yao Yue with an ashen face, as if he wanted to skin Yao Yue alive.
"Brother Zhuang (Senior Brother Zhuang), are you alright?" asked the third prince and Ji Youran simultaneously.
"How can I be fine after being poisoned?!" roared Zhuang Xuan. He had nowhere to vent his anger.
The faces of the Third Prince and Ji Youran had also turned extremely ugly. They hadn't expected that someone would suddenly appear out of nowhere. This really made them feel depressed!
"Yao Yue, I hope that you'll take out the antidote immediately. Otherwise, I'll report this to my father tomorrow. You better think about the consequences when that happens," threatened the third prince.
"I don't know what the consequences will be. At worst, we'll just go our separate ways," said Yao Yue indifferently.
"Good, very good. We'll see!" Zhuang Xuan replied, then turned around and flew away.
The third prince, Ji Youran, and the other three immediately chased after him.
"I'm sorry, Brother Zhuang. I'll report this to my father right now. I'll definitely make him take out the antidote," explained the third prince.
Zhuang Xuan glanced at the third prince and coldly snorted without saying anything.
Ji Youran spoke up for the third prince, "Senior Brother Zhuang, you can't blame the third prince for this. Yao Yue has always been a troublemaker. Just because he's from the Long clan, he's always looked down on the third prince. The Long clan is Long Aoyuan. That's why we're going to the place tomorrow."
"Long Aoyuan?
Is it the home of the guy who snatched Master's woman? "Zhuang Xuan looked at Ji Youran and asked.
"That's right!" Ji Youran replied affirmatively.
"In that case, I'll let him live for one more night. Tomorrow, I'll bring people to raid the Long family!" Zhuang Xuan said with an extremely sinister expression.
He had rushed to the Glorious Sun Empire from the Cangxuan Hall, thinking that he would be able to enjoy the scenery for a while.
Who would have thought that he would be humiliated by someone else and even be poisoned? This made his mood extremely bad!
Therefore, he would not let Yao Yue off easily. He would not even let the people around Yao Yue go!
On the boat, Yao Yue looked at the group of people flying away with a complicated expression.
"So what if you're from the Cangxuan Hall? Can you really do whatever you want here?" Yao Yue thought to himself.
Yao Yue still had a certain amount of confidence because he still had some trump cards that he hadn't used yet.
Prunus Luoensis poked half her head out of the cabin and asked worriedly, "Little Brother Yue, have they left?"
Yao Yue nodded and smiled, "Yes, Big Sister Luo and the others have left. Don't worry!"
Prunus Luoensis's expression finally relaxed. She walked out of the cabin and said gratefully to Yao Yue, "Little Brother Yue, if not for you, I … I really don't know what would have happened!"
After saying that, tears flowed out of her beautiful eyes again.
Seeing her lovely appearance, Yao Yue's heart softened. He patted Prunus Luoensis's shoulder and comforted her, "Big Sister Luo, don't cry. It's all in the past now!"
After crying for a while, Prunus Luoensis stopped crying and looked at Yao Yue with teary eyes, "I originally wanted to invite you over to reminisce about the past, but I didn't expect something like this to happen. This is really disappointing!
I'm sorry! "
"Big Sister Luo, there's no need to be so courteous," Yao Yue replied. He continued, "You have offended them tonight. They will definitely not let this matter rest. Big Sister Luo, I think you should give up on this brothel and find a place to hide."
Yao Yue was persuading Prunus Luoensis because he couldn't protect her 24/7. If the third prince and the others decided to take revenge on her, she wouldn't be able to escape.
Prunus Luoensis might be famous in the royal capital, but if the nobles decided to act ruthlessly, she wouldn't be able to stop them.
Prunus Luoensis revealed an extremely worried expression. At the same time, she revealed a hint of reluctance.
Yao Yue frowned and asked, "Big Sister Luo, are you reluctant to give up on this flower boat?"
In truth, he felt that a fairy-like woman like Prunus Luoensis shouldn't become a prostitute in the mortal world. He wanted her to stay away from all of this so that she wouldn't be tainted by the mortal world.
However, when he saw Prunus Luoensis's current state, he actually felt a little displeased.
Prunus Luoensis saw Yao Yue's displeasure and immediately waved her hand, saying, "How could that be? I'm just reluctant to part with my sisters. They're all women with pitiful backgrounds. I've taken care of them for so long, and I'm afraid that once I leave, they'll end up like before."
"I look down on Big Sister Luo for being so kind-hearted!"
Yao Yue praised. He then suggested, "How about this? Leave the flower boat to them and give them some money. If they want to continue staying here, let them. Otherwise, the money will be enough for them to live their lives. Let them find a good family to marry. You don't want them to live like that for the rest of their lives, right?"
Prunus Luoensis's eyes lit up, "That's right. Why didn't I think of that? Thank you so much, Little Brother Yue. I'll get Little Mei to inform them right away."
Prunus Luoensis did as she said. She told Zhong Mei about the matter and had her inform the other sisters.
Yao Yue felt comforted when he saw Prunus Luoensis's actions. He sighed and said, "No woman will always want to show her face."
However, what Yao Yue didn't know was that Prunus Luoensis was only doing this because of Yao Yue's persuasion. If it were anyone else, she wouldn't have acted so quickly.
Although she didn't want to lead a wandering life, she had been in this line of work for over a decade. She couldn't just give up so easily.
Firstly, she had suffered a huge blow tonight. Secondly, Yao Yue didn't like her in this line of work. For some reason, she panicked. That was why she had made such a decision.
The money I've earned over the years is enough for me to live for the rest of my life, Prunus Luoensis sighed inwardly.
Yao Yue seemed to have seen through Prunus Luoensis's thoughts. He smiled and said, "Big Sister Luo, you don't have to worry about the future. I'll take care of you."
Prunus Luoensis's face flushed red when she heard Yao Yue's words. She said, "Big Sister still has some savings. It's enough for me to live for the rest of my life."
Yao Yue rubbed his nose and said, "Big Sister, do you have a place to stay?
I think we should leave this place first. "
"I do, but I still have a lot of things to pack on this boat," Prunus Luoensis said with a troubled expression.
She spent most of her time on the boat. There were many things she needed on the boat. Packing them would take some time.
"Big Sister Luo, you don't have to worry. Even if you want to keep this boat, I'll help you. This is a small matter," Yao Yue said.
"Nonsense. How can I keep such a big boat?" Prunus Luoensis snorted at Yao Yue.
Yao Yue looked at Prunus Luoensis's charming appearance and felt his heart heat up. He couldn't help but avert his gaze, not daring to continue watching.
Prunus Luoensis didn't have Hu Meiniang's innate charm, but her natural beauty and mature womanly charm weren't something an ordinary woman could possess.
And this kind of smell, to a novice like Yao Yue, was extremely enticing!
"If Big Sister Luo doesn't believe me, I can show you," Yao Yue said and pointed at something on the boat's armor, "Look at that thing!"
When Prunus Luoensis looked over, the thing suddenly disappeared.
"Huh? Where did it go?" Prunus Luoensis was astonished.
Yao Yue smiled, "Of course I kept it. Look, it's here."
Yao Yue said and summoned the thing back to his hand.
Prunus Luoensis's cherry mouth opened wide when she saw this. She exclaimed in disbelief, "H-how did you do that?
Little Brother Yue, you're too amazing! "
"Haha, that's a secret. Just trust me," Yao Yue said, keeping her in suspense.
"You're so annoying. You're actually keeping me in suspense!" Prunus Luoensis pouted like a little girl.
Yao Yue's eyes widened. Prunus Luoensis's gaze was filled with boundless charm. It was truly captivating.
Prunus Luoensis's face turned even redder when she saw Yao Yue staring at her. She thought to herself, Looks like I'm still a little attractive to him.
At that moment, Zhong Mei's voice rang out, "Young Miss, the sisters are here."
Zhong Mei brought a dozen prostitutes to the brothel boat. They usually lived nearby, so it was easy to find them.
"Young Miss, why did you disband the boat?" asked a rather good-looking girl.
The other girls also started asking questions at the same time.
The boat was undoubtedly their source of income. They definitely didn't want to lose it.
Prunus Luoensis had no choice but to slowly explain the situation to them. As she spoke, tears flowed out of her eyes.
The other girls started crying as well.
They had all received help from Prunus Luoensis in the past. Without Prunus Luoensis, they wouldn't be where they were today. They were truly saddened by the sudden disbandment.
Two hours later, many of the girls finished packing their luggage. All of them wanted to stay with Prunus Luoensis, but Prunus Luoensis still insisted on bidding them farewell.
Yao Yue was touched when he heard this. He thought to himself, Big Sister Luo is really a good woman.
To be able to make so many women follow her so loyally, she must have done a lot of good things for them to be like this!
"Young Miss, I will always follow you."
A tall and slender woman whose looks were not very outstanding said to Luo Ying very seriously.
Prunus Luoensis pulled the girl's hand and said, "Big Sister Lan, I know your intentions, but I've caused too much trouble. It will be dangerous for you to stay by my side."
"No, I'll go wherever Young Miss goes. I don't have a home anyway.
I won't get married, "said Luo Lan resolutely.
This girl was slightly older than Prunus Luoensis. She was the most ordinary of the geisha. However, she insisted on staying by Prunus Luoensis's side. It was clear how deep her feelings for Prunus Luoensis were.
