Yusheng was in her study reading other countries situation send by the god's eye. She also got the message that beside the leader of poison sect no one had any clear information about the person they were trying to find.
Pei Jin was buried to the neck from sorting out the information of the person or persons who had managed to slip the poison so cleverly. So far there was not good results.
But still he had found many secrets like bribing, ill management of finances, purchase of many aborting drugs by the maid servants for themselves or by the consorts. Disappearance of servants, and the tricks of ladies in harem.
With all these information some would definetly have their heads off while some would result to nice punishments.
He like Yusheng felt there was much more than what it seemed. Even though prime minister was clever still he wasn't that clever enough to know about such poison, nor had the way to have done it so cleanly.
Even if consort mu had a hand, without someone backing and advising it was not possible to have both royal couples be poisoned at the same time.
So the question was either they had hidden more deep than they have thought or they themselves were pawn of third party, unknowingly dancing at other people tunes. If so then who?
While in biju villa after learning of the matter, she felt it was a good idea to have message passed on for the elder of poison sect valley. Though their methods seemed to be conflicted with each other on the surface.
Infront of the world, medicine valley and poison sect were rumored as enemy's but in reality they were not. Though not friends but definetly not enemies. As they practiced with poisons sometimes they themselves would get poisoned while experimenting.
Having to ask for medicine valleys help. And because of the medicine valleys eccentric lords they somehow just loved to cure those poison just to criticize and rub it on the sect pride.
Hence for this very reason if possible all the people of the sect wanted to avoid the people from medicine valley. As not only they were snubbed, the medicine valley had a record book with the names and thumb print of those people who had been saved.
From the past elders, to current along with many so called genius disciple and inner disciples with their name and thumb print. To simply say medicine valley was their bane, hence to protect their reputation they always stayed away from anything related to medicine valley.
Medicine valley too beside doing this never interfered on their any matters. Even freely letting them create poison and asking for some pills from time to time for the disciples to learn. Though used as a learning tool still was much better than to have thoroughly wiped with shame.
Only with Yusheng there has not been a person who had yet to be recorded for treatment. But now it seemed that poison sect had to once again ask help from the medicine valleys lord for they have been pulled in the crime of poisoning the royal couple.
As soon as the poison sect learned about having their one of the creation used on the royal couple, they felt their blood run cold. Normally it would not have posed a problem if the poison didn't link to them on the surface.
But now Yusheng turning out to be on friendly terms with the emperor and having exposed the link so openly, they have to bear the responsibility for the mess left behind by on of their own.
The elder of poison sect had reached to the elders of medicine valley to have the things discussed but were rebuked and mocked again. Thoroughly enjoying their predicament. Though they wanted to beat and even poison them to shut their mouths.
But was it easy? No... if compared martial art will loose, their poison was used as the material to learn so what could they do beside being humble. This past years they semmed to have improved more than ever under Yusheng's rule, and learning how she had cured the poison of royal couples she was as monstrous as her predecessors.
Not a bit of thought and dare to slight her or challenge her. After three torturous days they were finally passed the message left by the Yusheng.
Clearly implying for the current head to come to capital and alone if they want to get out of this mess unscathed. Hence after a week discussion among the elders the head finally left for the capital.
Before leaving he had huddled all the disciples severely warning them to not be foolish and daring like the one who had created the mess or he will have them punished with life. Also not to have any contacts with people from outside anymore while their creation will be handled by the elders from now one.
