Chapter 705 The Poison of Fluffy Snow Lotus (2/2)

When Yun Shang arrived, she told her the whole story in detail without reservation. Lady Hua Guo looked pale when she heard that Lord Hua Guo was poisoned. After Yun Shang told the details, she gradually came to herself. She was silent for a moment before she said, ”I always thought that no one is suspicious in our mansion, but I didn't expect that I fell into the trap. It's my fault. I felt sorry for Qingyan.”

Then she stood up and hurried to Lo

paler than a while ago.

Just then, Hua Yutong opened the curtain and came in. She was surprised to see Yun Shang and immediately walked to the bedside. She sat down and asked with a clear voice, ”Shang'er, what's wrong? Why are you looking so pale?”

Yun Shang was surprised. She touched her face and asked, ”Am I looking that pale?”

Qin Yi opened her mouth but didn't say anything. Only then did Lydia realize that she might have said something wrong. She just bit her lips and said, ”Just a little bit.”

Yun Shang let out a soft sign. ”Have you known Lord Hua Guo has been poisoned?”

Hua Yutong was stunned. ”Poisoned?”

”What? Din't you know?” Yun Shang opened her eyes wide and remained silent for a moment. Then she said, ”Yesterday, Lord Hua Guo was poisoned. The physician found out that he ate something similar to snow lotus by accident. The poison was not fatal, but it was very troublesome to detoxify it. It would take at least two months even we could get all the herbs.”

A tinge of panic flashed across Hua Yutong's eyes. She said hastily, ”How could? I haven't heard of it at all. I'll go back to Lord Hua Guo's mansion to have a look later.”

She paused for a while before continued, ”But if it's not fatal? Why are you so worried?”

Yun Shang sighed slightly and smiled bitterly. ”Tong'er, you might not kmow that the State of Yelang has been making trouble at the frontier a few days ago. Our soldiers and generals there have been suffering a lot. The Emperor has specially ordered Lord Hua Guo to lead the army to the frontier, in order to frighten those savages there. Everything has been ready, but Lord Hua Guo was poisoned all of a sudden. Now only His Highness could take the mission.

Yun Shang forced a smile and continued, ”But I'm pregnant now and I've been in poor health. I've always hoped that His Highness could be with me, but... The interest of the country is more important, and I don't want to be his burden.”
