The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer-Chapter 1568 - 1655: On Being an Aunt

Bazak’s usually stern face softened a little.

Liu Yi looked at Old Lady Zhu and said to the Eighth Princess, "I observe that this old woman doesn’t seem adept in the way of poisons, but she indeed carries poison on her. If Your Highness doesn’t believe me, have a look yourself."

Liu Yi took out some golden liquid once more, this time splashing it onto Old Lady Zhu’s body.

In an instant, Old Lady Zhu’s exposed skin transformed from an aged hue to a deep black, hardly human-like in appearance, her entire body riddled with intense poison. Only her murky eyeballs and one set of white teeth remained unchanged in color, while her face, neck, and hands were a dark black.

Old Lady Zhu let out a strange cry! She was completely unaware of the origin of the poison, nor did she know she was poisoned, and fear gripped her heart!

"Your Highness, spare me! I don’t know, I really don’t know!!" Old Lady Zhu knelt on the ground, crawling towards the Eighth Princess.

Seeing Old Lady Zhu about to cling to her legs, the Eighth Princess, finding the woman hideously black like a monster, and since it was Old Lady Zhu who caused her own involvement, felt an extreme revulsion towards her, kicking Old Lady Zhu away in disgust.

"Witch, is there a way to cure the poison?" The Eighth Princess looked intently at Liu Yi, who was clad in a cloak with a black veil concealing her features.

Liu Yi felt a bit of schadenfreude inside but outwardly displayed a benevolent demeanor, as if greatly pitying the situation. "Though my skills are not shallow, the one who poisoned us has superior techniques. However, Your Highness need not worry; as far as I know, the poison requires a trigger to activate. Without the trigger, it won’t harm or affect Your Highness’s body in any way."

In truth, it’s not that she couldn’t cure the poison — she simply didn’t want to, nor did she wish to!

The Eighth Princess was truly annoying, disrupting her peace. Her journey from the Desert to Zhongtu was mainly because she missed the little girl and that boy. As an aunt, she wanted to see how the couple was faring.

Also... that dark-faced boy, his name was Haoming, right? She heard there were six brothers in his family, one of whom, the youngest brother, shared the same father as Haoming.

Liu Yi wanted to visit her relatives, but on the way, she was blocked by people from the Eighth Princess. Not wanting to make a villain of herself against the Eighth Princess, she followed along, though inwardly she seethed with anger.

It was fortunate indeed that Liu Yi’s temper wasn’t like Miao Qing’s, otherwise with her extraordinary skills, a massacre would have already ensued.

The reason she hadn’t acted was out of concern for Haoming and Yixuan.

After all...

She could easily leave Dayuan after killing everyone, but those people had to live there. She feared if anyone learned of her connection with the brothers, and the Eighth Princess turned against them, then...

In short, that’s something Liu Yi did not wish to see.

Liu Yi sighed inwardly.

Being an aunt is indeed not easy at all.

The Eighth Princess’s heart burned with anger.

Although Liu Yi had said the poison wouldn’t harm her for now, who knew when the trigger might appear. It was like having a time bomb strapped to her body, ready to explode at any moment. Having her life under someone else’s control was truly an unpleasant experience. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Furthermore, the Eighth Princess also suspected another matter.
