Chapter 1127: Sacred Clan Expert, Yan Xiaosi!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The fact that Yan Jiuchao was in seclusion to detoxify the poison was not announced to the public. It was mainly to prevent anyone from having ill intentions and coming to the Young Master Manor to cause trouble. The other party did not even need to kill Yan Jiuchao. They only needed to interrupt his process of detoxifying the poison.

A single mistake was enough for Yan Jiuchao to waste all his previous efforts.

Prince Yan did not dare to bet his son’s life. He decisively blocked the news.

However, Yan Jiuchao held an important position as the Regent. It was impossible for him to really ignore the ministers in the court for a month. Fortunately, Yu Wan had just given birth. This child came at the right time. Not only did she provide her father with a precious medicinal primer, but she also gave Yan Jiuchao a reason not to go to court.

Although Yan Jiuchao’s killing of the greedy officials had severely shocked the ministers of the royal court, before that, everyone’s impression of Yan Jiuchao had always been that firstly, he was unreliable. Secondly, he was very unreliable!

Who knew why he killed the corrupt officials?

It was true that corrupt officials should be killed, but wasn’t it too cruel to be cut in half and dismembered?

What kind of bullsh*t regent was this? He was simply a tyrant, okay?

Also, what was with giving out two red eggs so easily? He even gave out red eggs during the wedding and when he returned to the Capital. He even extorted a wave of return gifts from them! When the Princess Consort gave birth, he did not give out anymore!

Yan Jiuchao, who was in seclusion in the secret room, finally remembered what he had forgotten: Red eggs! Two!

In short, Yan Jiuchao was a temperamental little lunatic in the hearts of the ministers. Everyone was not surprised at all that he suddenly did something like transferring the royal court to the Young Master Manor.

“The Regent wants to accompany the Princess Consort and Little Miss. Little Miss doesn’t want anyone. As long as the Regent leaves, she’ll cry non-stop. There’s no choice, so we can only trouble the ministers to send the memorials to the Young Master Manor. However, don’t worry, the Regent will read all your memorials!”

Uncle Wan said in the throne room.

“Then… can we leave after sending the memorial?” A minister asked carefully.

Uncle Wan smiled and said, “If Little Miss doesn’t make a fuss, the Regent should be able to leave and meet everyone.”

Please, Little Miss, just make a fuss! Make a fuss with all your might! Don’t let your father out to harm us!

Actually, if it were anyone else who did this, there would probably be many doubts. Yan Jiuchao was different. Putting aside his lunatic nature, he had indeed always cherished Yu Wan very much. Back then, when the Emperor did not agree to this marriage, he even had a conflict with the Emperor. There was no other woman in his backyard. The entire capital could see his love for Yu Wan.

Although his style was unreliable, everyone had to admit that Yan Jiuchao had an almost perfect obsession with his wife and children. This was the only thing that no one could criticize him about.

The ministers were quite happy. They could just hand over the memorial to the Young Master Manor. There was no need to rack their brains and praise a certain someone like in the past. One had to know that they had praised him for so long that their talent was almost exhausted.

No one felt that there was anything wrong with this, except the Crown Prince— Yan Huaijing.

In the carriage back to the manor, Yan Huaijing asked Jun Chang’an, “The people we sent didn’t find Old Cui?”

“No,” Jun Chang’an said. “Old Cui poisoned them away.”

Yan Huaijing muttered, “He actually learned to use poison. He wasn’t like this in the past.”

Yan Huaijing didn’t know everything about Old Cui in the past, but he at least knew eighty percent of him. Old Cui wasn’t bad by nature, but he was forced to board Worthy Consort Xu’s pirate ship. He did many unpresentable things for Worthy Consort Xu, but most of them were just to give her child avoidance soup or to seek blessings for Worthy Consort Xu to avoid disaster. The only time he harmed someone was when he aborted the fetus of a certain concubine. In the end, that concubine couldn’t withstand it and died.

After that time, Old Cui suggested leaving.

In order to reassure Worthy Consort Xu, he swore not to practice medicine with the Cui family’s medical skills for the rest of his life. This also caused him to become a quack after going to the countryside.

Worthy Consort Xu was definitely not a soft-hearted person. In a sense, she was actually affirming Old Cui’s character by letting him go in peace. She believed that Old Cui would not do anything to betray her.

In fact, Old Cui had indeed never harmed her. After being with Yan Jiuchao and the others, he was only responsible for treating Yan Jiuchao and had never participated in the competition between Worthy Consort Xu, her son and Yan Jiuchao.

However, Yan Huaijing still felt that Old Cui had changed. He seemed to have become more courageous.

Yan Huaijing had only found out a few days ago. It turned out that Yan Jiuchao had gone to Nanzhao to look for the medicinal primer. It turned out that Yan Jiuchao had been poisoned by two types of poison. One was the Southern Xinjiang poison curse that the late Emperor had given him, and the other was the Fragrance of Hundred Miles that the previous Princess of Nanzhao had given him.

The Southern Xinjiang’s poison curse had been resolved, and the medicinal primers for the Fragrance of Hundred Miles had also been gathered.

Yan Huaijing found it difficult to imagine how they gathered them. He found those legendary experiences unbelievable even when he heard them. No matter what, the information was true, so he had no choice but to believe it.

Old Cui actually became Yan Jiuchao’s doctor. He thought of his own people. This was another person snatched away by Yan Jiuchao after Yu Wan. Yan Huaijing did not want Yan Jiuchao to recover.

He had gotten someone to capture Old Cui because he hoped that Yan Jiuchao would have the medicinal primers but could not refine it into an antidote. In the end, he would die from the poison!

However, his people failed.

At this moment, Yan Jiuchao suddenly stopped showing his face.

It would be unreasonable if he couldn’t guess what had happened.

“Your Highness… Do you still want to continue looking for Old Cui? I’ll do it myself this time,” Jun Chang’an said.

Yan Huaijing said indifferently, “There’s no need. I believe the antidote has been concocted. It’s useless to look for Old Cui. I guess Yan Jiuchao is in seclusion to detoxify. Go and investigate where he’s in seclusion!”

“Okay.”

Crown Prince Manor, Full Moon Pavilion.

A portrait was placed on the cloaked man’s table. The woman in the portrait was none other than Yu Wan, who was once pregnant.

However, it was not Yu Wan, who was pregnant this year, but Yu Wan, whom Yan Huaijing had bumped into in Prefecture Xu three years ago.

This was Yan Huaijing’s portrait that he had drawn. It was placed in his study. Even Han Jingshu would not easily open his study. Therefore, Yan Huaijing had never thought that it would be stolen.

Why the cloaked man had stolen Yan Huaijing’s portrait was actually a misunderstanding. Yan Huaijing had been in frequent contact with Nanzhao’s spies recently, causing the cloaked man to think that Yan Huaijing suspected their identities and was looking for someone to investigate them.

Recently, there was news from Nanzhao. The cloaked man wanted to see what news it was, but he saw this portrait.

There was no signature on the portrait, but they asked the servants of the Crown Prince Manor. One of the guards recognized her as the current Regent Consort.

However, this Princess Consort was only eighteen years old this year, which didn’t match the age of the female thief. Looking at this similar appearance, it wasn’t difficult for the cloaked man to guess that she was the thief’s daughter. This could explain why he sensed the aura of the Holy Soul Pearl in the direction of the Young Master Manor.

The thief must have given the Holy Soul Pearl to her daughter.

In addition, there was something worth mentioning. Last night, he felt an extremely powerful aura of the Sacred Clan. It seemed like they had already reached the Saint King Realm!

The cloaked man’s first reaction was, Could that female thief also have the bloodline of the Sacred Clan? Her daughter too? And her daughter used the Holy Soul Pearl to break through to the Saint King Realm?

It was no wonder that the cloaked man thought this way. It was really because in the Sacred Clan, no one had ever been born a Saint King!

“Sir, what do you plan to do next?” Gu Lady asked.

The cloaked man said coldly, “Get the Holy Soul Pearl first! As for that woman, will we be afraid of not being able to deal with her when we have the Soul Assimilation Bead?”

With the Holy Soul Pearl, he could also have the strength of a Saint King. Moreover, he had the complete inheritance of the saints, and the foundation of the saints was definitely not something that a thief could compare to. Therefore, the cloaked man never thought that a Saint King nurtured by a thief could be stronger than the Saint King of the Sacred Clan.

Moreover, that woman had just given birth and must be weak. Even with the Holy Soul Pearl, she could not withstand a single blow!

“Lie Feng is already dead. Who do you plan to send?” Gu Lady asked.

The cloaked man said indifferently, “You don’t have to worry about that. Remember to return the portrait intact. Don’t let the Crown Prince discover anything.”

“Yes,” Gu Lady agreed.

The cloaked man left the Crown Prince Manor. Since he could go to the Great Zhou to find the Holy Soul Pearl, he naturally had more than one expert. In fact, he had yet to show his trump card.

The cloaked man came to an inconspicuous courtyard and found the Sacred Clan’s Silver Saber Guards lurking here.

The Silver Saber Guard was a first-class expert of the Sacred Clan. Their strength was definitely not inferior to any high-level Asura King.

The difference between the Sacred Clan and the Sorcerer Clan was that the Sacred Clan indeed had more breakthroughs in martial arts. This was also why all the previous Saintesses of the Nether Capital were second to none experts.

In the same realm as the Asura King, the silver sabers of the Sacred Clan would be even more powerful and dangerous!

The cloaked man instructed, “The three of you, infiltrate the Young Master Manor tonight and bring back the Holy Soul Pearl!”

‘Yes!”
