Chapter 282: Many People Have Died

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

At the Autumn Water Courtyard in the Jade Kite Garden Villa…
An Jiuyue had been researching the antidote for the past few days. She had finally made some progress.
“Now all that’s left is to concoct the antidote.”
She heaved a sigh of relief and looked at the bamboo rats she had poisoned but were still alive.
“Master, the points have decreased again,” Wei Na reminded An Jiuyue sternly in her mind.!!
An Jiuyue stopped fiddling with the herbs and was stunned for a moment.
“How many times has this happened?” she asked.
“This is the fifth time since you came to the Autumn Water Courtyard,” Wei Na replied.
This mixed poison was potent and could kill people very quickly. It was comparable to a lethal poison.
In particular, this mixed poison was contagious—it was terrifying!
Despite that, Wei Na thought that its master was even more impressive. She could keep the bamboo rats alive for a few days, although the poison was lethal!
“The fifth time?!”
An Jiuyue gritted her teeth and took a deep breath.
That’s enough! Do those people not care about human lives? I have to resolve this! Otherwise, I won’t have peace in the future.
“It seems like it’s time to come out of seclusion.”
She picked up a few prescriptions, turned around, opened the door, and walked out.
…
Elder Huang came to the Autumn Water Courtyard several times a day. He saw An Jiuyue the moment she exited.
“Elder Huang.”
“Young Master, are you coming out of seclusion?”
Elder Huang walked over with a smile when he heard An Jiuyue’s voice.
“Yes, I am.” An Jiuyue smiled and handed him a list of medicinal herbs. “Elder Huang, please prepare the herbs on this list.”
“Okay, I’ll do it now.”
Elder Huang took the list and could not help but click his tongue.
There are too many medicinal herbs on this list. Is Young Master thinking of opening a medicinal herb shop? It can’t be, right? She already has a medicinal herb shop under her name—a big one.
He looked up at An Jiuyue and asked hesitantly, “Young Master, these herbs are…”
“There was a problem with a prescription I gave someone previously. It was converted into poison by someone with ulterior motives. I’m developing an antidote,” An Jiuyue replied, “Many people have died.”
Elder Huang gasped. “Who is so vicious to do such a thing?!”
Converting a prescription into poison was not impossible, but using it to kill so many people was unforgivable!
“I don’t know.”
An Jiuyue shook her head. If she had known, she would have brought Qian Jiyun with her and killed them.
“Elder Huang, I’m going out for a while. I’ll be back in about three to four days. Can you prepare these herbs before I return?”
“Yes, I can.”
Elder Huang nodded immediately. He would not be worthy of following his master or even being kept by his side if he was not capable enough to do this small task.
“Don’t worry, Young Master. I’ll definitely prepare these herbs.”
“Mhm.” An Jiuyue nodded and got ready to leave the villa to look for Qian Jiyun.
Suddenly, she thought of something and stopped to look at Elder Huang.
