Chapter 51 The Herbalist is Charming (Part 48)

Qingli: "This 'truth serum' is used to lower a person's defenses when their consciousness is hazy. They will unconsciously want to express their thoughts and knowledge, and will forget the memory."

Meng Yi: "I see. My wife is indeed well versed in medicine!"

Qingli: "If I combine this with other medications, this person will just think they've had a good sleep and feel refreshed, completely unaware of what they said."

Qingli: "I don't need to arrest him, I just need you to do a few things. He will tell us the truth."

Qingli said a few words in Meng Yi's ear.

Meng Yi: "My dear, you are so smart! With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?"

She rested her head on Meng Yi's broad chest, her voice muffled.

Qingli: "My husband, I know both medicine and poison. Aren't you afraid?"

Meng Yi: "What are you afraid of?"

Meng Yi was a little confused. What was he afraid of?

Qingli: "My master warned me that if we get married in the future, it's best not to tell my husband that I use poison, so as not to arouse his suspicion. I am an expert in both medicine and poison. Aren't you afraid that one day I will use my methods on you and poison you? Will you unconsciously want to stay away from me?"

Meng Yi hadn't expected his wife to be so anxious and worried. He wondered if she had forgotten he was a man of the underworld. He lived on the edge of a knife, exposed to the elements, yet he still had some tolerance.

He lifted her up from his chest and looked into her eyes seriously.

Meng Yi: "From the first time I saw you, I knew you weren't someone who abused the art of medicine and poison. You are truly an expert in both medicine and poison! I've dealt with many people in the martial arts world. I'm sure that even the people in the Divine Doctor Valley and the Poison Immortal Residence are not as skilled in medicine and poison as you."

He paused for a moment and laughed again.

Meng Yi: "But I'm not afraid of you, because you are my wife. If I don't even trust you, then there is no one I can trust. The stronger you are, the more capable you are of protecting yourself. I couldn't be happier! Moreover, it is precisely because of your superb medical skills that you were able to pull me, Meng Yi, back from the brink of death!"

Meng Yi's words made her very happy.

She rolled her eyes and raised her eyebrows to intimidate Meng Yi.

Qingli: "Really? I heard that in the past decade or so, there's been a saying that 'a man with virtue is talented, and a woman without talent is virtuous.' For thousands of years, there's been a situation where 'women are eager to learn, but women are left alone.' Ever since the execution of Princess Wuyang of the previous dynasty, the rulers have been very strict with women, and even the number of women attending school has decreased significantly. They believe that if women are knowledgeable, they will stir up evil thoughts, even resort to trickery, and be detrimental to ideological control."

Qingli: "As the saying goes, 'Women are the most vicious.' Not only do I know medicine and poisons, I also invent strange and bizarre things. Aren't you afraid that one day you'll find a new lover and I'll be furious and poison you and your little beauty to death? We agreed to be together for life."

Meng Yi: "You! You are a living person, why would I want to control you?"

Meng Yi couldn't help but laugh. He wasn't the type of person who would be jealous and unable to tolerate his wife's talent. Li Li was his wife, not his slave. She didn't need to obey him obediently. Naturally, she could have her own thoughts.

Meng Yi had also heard of the history of the previous dynasty's Princess Wuyang being executed.

Princess Wuyang was a talented both civil and military woman. In order to protect the ten-year-old emperor, she personally went to the battlefield to drive out the barbarians. In her twenties, she delayed her marriage in order to defend her country.

Along the way, she killed treacherous officials, corrupt officials, and eliminated rebels. When the young emperor came of age, Princess Wuyang returned power to the emperor. However, the following year, she was sentenced to death by the emperor for treason, and her 3,000 female soldiers of Wuyang were ambushed and killed.

"When the cunning rabbit dies, the hunting dog is cooked." Princess Wuyang protected her country and brother all her life, but ended up like this, which made many knowledgeable women feel disheartened.

Meng Yi promised in a firm voice.

Meng Yi: "If I break my oath, you can kill me with a cup of poisoned wine! I deserve it! Besides, I will never betray you. I promised to be with you, so how could I have room for anyone else?"

She smiled like a flower, but pouted and muttered.

Qingli: "Life is still long, who knows what will happen in the future? Sweet words are indeed attractive."

Meng Yi: "You're worried I'm lying to you when I speak from the bottom of my heart?"

Meng Yi kissed Qingli on the face and smiled happily.

Meng Yi: "If I dare to let you down, you don't have to do anything. I will settle your second half of life and then shatter my own meridians to death."

Qingli: "Humph! You're just talking nonsense!"

Suddenly she thought of something and laughed.

Qingli: "Okay, if you let me down, I will poison you to death!"
