What on earth went wrong? And where was the drug administered? The King of the Grasslands was utterly perplexed.
Meanwhile, Tule Haojia was in an extremely good mood. He could hardly suppress the smile on his lips. "Jian Yi, where did you find this person today?"
At the mention of this, Jian Yi's lips curled up in a mysterious smile. "My lord, you'll never guess. When I found him, he was on the verge of taking his own life.
This man had contracted a venereal disease after visiting a brothel. And his family was in dire straits this year. To avoid burdening his family, he decided to end it all. So I promised him.
As long as he could accomplish this task, we would ensure that his family would have enough to eat and wear for the rest of their lives."
Tule Haojia was taken aback for a moment after hearing Jian Yi's words. Venereal disease... The King of the Grasslands probably never expected that the person Jian Yi found would be so ruthless. And since everyone had witnessed it today, the King of the Grasslands surely wouldn't dare to call a doctor to examine himself.
By the time he discovered it, it would be too late. Just thinking about this, Tule Haojia burst into laughter. "I didn't expect you to be so ruthless these days. Good, very good."
Jian Yi, who had received his lord's praise, felt as if he were floating on air. "Hehe, actually I learned this from the people around Princess Tianlin." It was mainly Mu Nan, the one around Princess Tianlin.
However, this person didn't seem to be directly serving Princess Tianlin. It seemed he was from Marquis Zhongning's entourage. But it didn't matter. They were so closely associated that it made little difference which one he mentioned. But it was better to mention Princess Tianlin in front of his lord because Princess Tianlin was like a get-out-of-jail-free card in his lord's eyes.
As long as it wasn't a heinous crime, it didn't matter much to his lord.
"You're quite something. The people around her are all capable. I didn't expect you to pick up a few tricks from them." Tule Haojia said with a teasing smile as he looked at Jian Yi.
After the moment of elation, it was time to get down to business. Jian Yi straightened his expression and asked, "My lord, now that the King of the Grasslands has been stripped of his power, he surely won't let it go easily. What should we do next?"
Tule Haojia thought for a while and said, "Go and spread the news of today's incident as far as possible. Even if it's beyond the Grassland tribes, make sure it gets out."
Jian Yi rolled his eyes and immediately understood Tule Haojia's intention. Once the news of the King of the Grasslands' homosexual tendencies spread, people all over the world would shy away from him. After all, people's minds were so conservative that they would never accept such a lifestyle.
Moreover, there was already a better leader in the Grassland tribes. It was obvious what choice people would make.
"I understand, my lord. I'll go and do it right away." Jian Yi excitedly rushed out, eager to spread the news.
Thanks to Jian Yi and his cohorts' behind - the - scenes efforts, the news spread like wildfire and soon reached the Qin Dynasty. When Mu Fengqie heard about it, she was stunned for a moment.
When the King of the Grasslands was in the Qin Dynasty, his gaze towards her was full of a man's desire for a woman. So she was certain that the King of the Grasslands was not homosexual.
So there was only one possibility left, and that was Tule Haojia.
She didn't expect Tule Haojia to act so quickly. She had thought that Tule Haojia would at least wait for two or three years before making a move. This was really unexpected.
What she didn't expect even more was the people from the Jiang family. Madam Jiang actually came to her place with a large number of packages.
"I wonder what brings Madam Jiang here?" Mu Fengqie said slowly as she looked at Madam Jiang.
Madam Jiang forced a embarrassed smile and said, "Please forgive me, Princess. I was blind before and offended you. Please forgive me." With that, Madam Jiang led her entourage and knelt down.
This time, Madam Jiang seemed much more sincere. But there was no smoke without fire. It was likely that she had some ulterior motives.
"What is Madam Jiang here for this time?" Mu Fengqie didn't have the energy to play cat - and - mouse with Madam Jiang, so she decided to get straight to the point.
Madam Jiang stiffened for a moment. "I'm here to beg the Princess to save someone's life. If there were any other way, I wouldn't want to come and find you, Princess. After all, we're people of some status. It's already very humiliating for me to come and apologize to you.
If the Princess doesn't accept my apology, I really don't know what I'll do."
"Save someone's life? I wonder what's wrong with Madam Jiang?" Mu Fengqie looked at Madam Jiang and saw that there was nothing wrong with her physically. So it must be someone from the Jiang family who was ill, and that person must hold a high position in the family. Otherwise, Madam Jiang wouldn't have come here and humbled herself to talk to her.
"It's my mother - in - law. She's old. She accidentally fell yesterday. The doctor said that she's on her last legs." When Madam Jiang thought of the old woman in the mansion, she was filled with anger. She had long been fed up with her.
If it weren't for the fact that her husband was a filial son and insisted that she come and invite the master of the Medicine Master Valley, she would never have come to ask Mu Fengqie.
Mu Fengqie nodded in understanding. So that was the case. But... "The doctor has already said that she's on her last legs. Do you think I can save her? What if something happens to the old lady? Won't your Jiang family blame me?"
Mu Fengqie could see the thoughts in Madam Jiang's eyes at a glance. She wasn't going to be so naive as to fall into the trap.
Madam Jiang's face turned pale. "Please rest assured, Princess. We'll never blame you for this." Madam Jiang said firmly. After saying that, as if afraid that Mu Fengqie wouldn't believe her,
she quickly added, "If I don't keep my word, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death." Anyway, she didn't believe in gods or anything. Making a vow was just a formality.
Mu Fengqie pursed her lips as she looked at Madam Jiang. She thought that there had been no progress in investigating the Jiang family so far. This might be a good opportunity. If she could enter the Jiang family, she might be able to quickly learn about the family's internal affairs.
"Out of consideration for Madam Jiang's filial piety, I'm not saying I won't agree. But I have a condition." With that, Mu Fengqie told someone to prepare writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones. Looking at Madam Jiang, she said, "Madam Jiang, please write a written promise. This way, in case something happens to the old lady of the Jiang family in the future, your family won't go back on their words."
Madam Jiang's face turned even paler. She didn't expect this little bitch to be so sensitive and come up with such a method.
"Okay, Princess. Whatever you say goes. As long as the Princess can save my mother - in - law, I'm willing to do anything." With that, Madam Jiang didn't hesitate to write a guarantee on the paper.
