FSC [QT] Chapter 115.2

Arc 5: Swapping Lives (89)

Advertisement

At that time, the Fifth Prince Li Chenghe accidentally caught Yu Yan’s eyes.

At that time, he was hiding in the rockery beside Yuchi Lake, concocting a poison that made people vomit and have diarrhea. The several herbs used to make this poison were non-toxic, but when they were mixed together, they would become a poison that made people have diarrhea.

This was discovered by Yu Yan accidentally when he was a child.

Because there was often not enough food at home, he often went up the mountain to pick wild vegetables to fill his stomach.

Once, he mistakenly mixed several wild vegetables, and as a result, everyone who ate the pot of wild vegetable soup vomited and had diarrhea.

After several experiences, Yu Yan finally distinguished which wild herbs could not be mixed.

After entering the palace, Yu Yan accidentally discovered those wild grasses. Although he didn’t know whether the poison would come in handy, Yu Yan still pulled out the wild grasses, dried them, and ground them into powder for preservation.

Therefore, as he was cautious by nature, he always used to hide in the rockery to secretly prepare the poison.

That day, he saw the eunuch serving Li Chenghe push the other party arrogantly and say something. When the eunuch turned around and prepared to leave, Li Chenghe pushed him directly into Yuchi Lake.

The eunuch couldn’t swim and kept floundering in the lake.

At that time, Li Chenghe, who was only nine years old, was not nervous. He even broke a branch and kept pushing the eunuch who had jumped out of the water into the water, leaving him no chance to even open his mouth to call for help.

Then, the eunuch sank and never floated up again.

This was not the end.

Yu Yan watched Li Chenghe jump into Yuchi Lake right after the eunuch drowned. After seeing a patrolling guard from a distance, he began to flutter and call for help.

In the end, the incident was determined to be that the Fifth Prince and his eunuch accidentally fell into the water. The eunuch drowned, while the Fifth Prince was lucky to be rescued.

No one, including the Fifth Prince, knew that there was one person hiding in the rockery at that time. After everyone left, Yu Yan carefully left the rockery.

Later, he secretly investigated and found out that the drowned eunuch was the person given to Li Chenghe by Noble Concubine Jiang.

Because Noble Concubine Jiang did not take this adopted son seriously, the eunuch almost became the one-man show in the Fifth Prince’s palace. Relying on the name of Noble Concubine Jiang, he even ignored the Fifth Prince.

Because of the existence of the eunuch, the Fifth Prince was always restrained in doing things, so there was the scene he saw later.

It was at that time that Li Chenghe caught Yu Yan’s eyes.

A man who could be so cruel to himself at a young age in order to get rid of a second-minded slave was definitely not as mediocre and incompetent as he appeared.

More importantly, the Fifth Prince’s position in the palace was awkward. Approaching him at this time was not icing on the cake, but a timely help.

Since he was looking for an ally, why not find a more hidden one?

So, Yu Yan slowly approached Li Chenghe and formed an underground alliance like today.

In the whole world, apart from Li Chenghe himself, Yu Yan was probably the one who knew him best. This man’s mind was too deep, sometimes even Yu Yan couldn’t see through it.

Moreover, when he was only nine years old, he could even put himself in danger to achieve his goals, let alone use others.

Such a person would hardly stay for a private affair. The most important thing in his heart would always be the great cause, not a woman.

Ah Wu was not suitable for him, and Yu Yan didn’t want to marry his sister to such a man.

Similarly, the First Prince, the Third Prince, and the Seventh Prince were not the right match for Yu Yan’s sister.

Having seen the intrigues in the palace, Yu Yan felt that perhaps an ordinary life would be happier.

His ideal brother-in-law must always put Xiao Wu first, not take concubines, not visit brothels, be handsome, have a broad mind, and preferably have no mother-in-law, no sisters-in-law, or aunts…

It was also when he realized that his sister had reached the age of marriage that Yu Yan realized that it was so difficult for women to live in this world.

Not only did they have to deal with the troubles of their parents-in-law and sisters-in-law, but they also had to endure their husbands’ indecision.

If they were not careful, they would be accused of committing one of the seven reasons for divorce.

Yu Yan could not imagine that his sister had to endure her husband’s love for other women in the backyard and then had to pretend to be nothing outside, befriend other madams for her husband’s career, and even flatter the madam of her husband’s boss.

No matter how he thought about it, Yu Yan inevitably had more requirements for his future brother-in-law.

Unfortunately, there had not been a man who met the requirements around him yet.

Just the first point, putting Xiao Wu first in everything, was enough to exclude everyone.

Yu Yan had a headache. According to this requirement, could Xiao Wu really get married?

“There seems to be something wrong with the Sixth Young Lady Ling’s identity.”

Yu Yan’s thoughts were interrupted by Li Chenghe’s sudden words. Hearing the content of this sentence, Yu Yan couldn’t help but take it seriously.

Could it be that the other party has also found out something?
