He did not eat anything, he had only drank a cup of wine before he…
"Someone poisoned the Jade Nectar?" Mo Qian Yuan's face contorted as it paled further. He did not have a big appetite nor did he not have much interest in pursuing delicacies. He only had this habit to drink this king of wines termed Jade Nectar and he would drink a few cups every day.
This wine, although drank in small amounts, however as it accumulated over time…
"Wait." Jun Wu Xie's expression suddenly changed.
'Jade Nectar?'Why did she find this term so familiar?
Mo Qian Yuan did not know what she was thinking as he briefly explained: "This is the First Emperor's personally brewed prized wine. He had brewed this wine himself, the recipe is extremely complex, after the death of the First Emperor, there wasn't anyone else who could brew it other than my mother. After she has passed on, there was no one left in this kingdom that can brew it, hence the only Jade Nectar left are the ones that my mother had personally brewed." They were bestowed to him after her passing so everyday he would drink this wine in small amounts to remember his mother by.
Who in this world could be so cruel…to actually put poison in this precious keepsake he had left! Mo Qian Yuan clenched his fists tightly until they turned white, visible veins could be seen protruding out as his eyes had a murderous glint in them.
In memory of his mother, the only thing she had left for him… they actually polluted it with such a vile thing!
He would never ever in the slightest suspect that it was in this precious keepsake of his!
"How much Jade Nectar are you left with?" Jun Wu Xie's eyes had a slight sparkle as she asked him calmly.
"There's a few barrels left." He gritted his teeth.
"Bring me over, let me have a look." She stood up quickly as the little black cat who was still rolling on the carpet immediately stopped and followed behind.
Mo Qian Yuan did not put much thought into why she wanted to go as he brought her along to the cellar. On the way over, he did not forget to put some blame on the food saying that the ingredients were not fresh and Jun's Family Young Miss felt uncomfortable after eating it.
Having the entire blame shifted onto her was so ridiculous that Jun Wu Xie shot him an incredulous look with a cold glint in her eye.
Mo Qian Yuan could feel the murderous cold gaze coming from his back and did not dare turn around to look at the source as he quickly hurried and brought her to the wine cellar.
In the cellar, there were five huge barrels, four were sealed tight as one was temporarily sealed for his daily consumption.
"In the entire Kingdom of Qi, there's only these five barrels Jade Nectar left." He said with a hint of pride in them. Looking at these barrels of wines, he reminisced on the past when he was only half the height of these barrels and was sitting by the side, watching his mother brew this wine with undivided attention.
Today, his mother was no longer around, he only had the wine left.
Jun Wu Xie dipped her little finger into the barrel that was used for his daily consumption. She sniffed it and she could smell the extreme complex scent of a full bodied wine without any traces of the wheat night flower poison.
"These wines are safe to consume, the poison is only administered before your consumption as it loses its effectiveness if left exposed for too long a period." From the beginning, Jun Wu Xie's line of sight never once left those five barrels of Jade Nectar.
"Really?" Mo Qian Yuan's face lit up, he could still keep his mother's personally brewed wine?
Jun Wun Xie nodded, a trace of loneliness was reflected in her eyes.
She could feel her Little Lotus's excitement and she knew that this was the Jade Nectar she had been looking for.
She had finally found the Jade Nectar!
"This wine, I want some." She immediately asked him in the most direct manner.
Mo Qian Yuan was surprised for a moment before he retorted: "You are a minor! You can't even drink!"
Jun Wu Xie calmly replied: "For making medicine."
For ordinary people, having a drop of Jade Nectar could be regarded only as a dream, even within the Royal Family, only Mo Qian Yuan and the Emperor had access to this privilege. Even Mo Xuan Fei could only sit idly by and watch them drink this.
However this wine held a deeper meaning to Mo Qian Yuan, it was a precious memory of his mother.
Jun Wu Xie wanted to use this wine to brew medicine made Mo Qian Yuan surprised.
"It can be used as medicine?" The only reason why he drank a little of this wine everyday was because he missed his mother, not because he was an avid wine lover.
Now, if the perpetrator knew that he had found out the source of it, they would use other means, rather than alerting them, he had to use another method.
"Alright, you can have some." He had made his decision.
"I'm going to give you the wine only because I don't want to go through all that again to find out a new source." Just the thought of that tragic response, he felt suffocated once again. How his dignity was crushed in an instant when he had vomited all over the table. Thinking back also made him feel a little queasy as his face paled.
Jun Wu Xie knew that this chance was hard to come by. Such a precious commodity that could kick start her cultivation was just in front of her! What heavenly spring? Who knew if she could ever find that in this lifetime?
"Please prepare a small jug for me to bring back whenever I come visit you." Jun Wu Xie decided to lay low and do this discreetly, anyway the wine was here and she could get it from him every time she visited. Her supply for this has been secured.
"Uh..But if they poisoned the wine… then.." He looked at her wryly, if its poisoned wine, how could she make medicine out of it?
"No need to worry." She confidently replied.
Mo Qian Yuan thought, the perpetrator wouldn't want to drag her into it lest she gets tangled in it which will pull Lin Palace into this. If they knew it was for her, they wouldn't poison it.
"Ok, I'll have it prepared for you." He decided that he would deal with this step by step. He would let them know that this wine was a gift for her. He shuddered to think that he didn't even know that he was poisoned in his own quarters and means that he was simply living in a cage where most things were not within his control. The servants watching him are the accomplices as well.
When the day comes, he shall return tooth for tooth, blood for blood!
He was relieved after ascertaining the source of the poison. Now he could start fighting back! He was also thankful that Jun Wu Xie had left some pills to aid him in his recovery.
To completely cure him and have him back in the pink of health, time was of the essence. She had also set aside a lotus seed for him, but that had to wait till his body was in a better state, after which she would let him condition his whole body with the best of her ability. Towards people who were useful to her, she was rather generous.
Mo Qian Yuan accepted the bottles she had given him, he knew deep down that she could spare no effort to save him, however she could also do the same by sparing no effort to dispose of him.
After Jun Wu Xie had left him all the instructions on the various medicines, he had personally prepared a small jug of Jade Nectar and walked with her all the way up to her carriage. He stood rooted to the spot even though the carriage had long disappeared from his sight. He let out a big sigh as he stood there for quite some time.
He looked up into the blue sky, he was feeling elated.
Mother, I have found an incredible ally!
A group of servants looked at him with a complex expression as they saw the smiling Mo Qian Yuan staring happily into the sky.
To see such an expression on him, did it mean that he had really fallen head over heels for that tyrant?!
