According to Mr. Pei, "The Yellow Millet Dream" was originally a poison developed by the King of Chu in an era when many heroes were vying for supremacy in order to spy on the enemy's intelligence.

?

This poison is colorless and unscented. After just two sniffs, the poisoned person will enter a state that is neither asleep nor awake. In this state, the poisoned person is completely controlled by the person who poisoned him, and even his memory may be tampered with.

?

Take a few people who are under surveillance as an example.

?

The person who poisoned them told them before they woke up that they had been sleeping normally for two minutes without any abnormalities. Then, after they woke up, they would think that nothing had happened and everything was normal.

?

The recipe for "The Yellow Millet Dream" was a secret known only to the King of Chu and the doctor who had researched it at the time, and even this incident was not recorded in history books.

?

It only appeared in some unofficial history books and was rarely mentioned by people in the world. After the Chu State was destroyed, no one knew about it anymore.

?

Only some people who are obsessed with medical skills will occasionally mention it, and sigh at the brilliant medical skills of the predecessors.

?

The emperor's harem had three thousand beauties, and the women's means of fighting were more ruthless than men's, using every possible means. Unexpectedly, a concubine found the recipe for "Yellow Millet Dream".

?

Of course, it is not known whether this was the prescription that the King of Chu had people researching, but the effect is very similar to that described in unofficial history.

?

After the death of the previous emperor, the new emperor carried out a major purge of the harem. All concubines who had harmed others by shady means, regardless of their rank, were stripped of their titles, banished to the cold palace, and even a number of them were secretly executed.

?

The secret methods used by the concubines gradually surfaced, and this prescription was made public. However, it was only seen by a few doctors in the Imperial Hospital who were very close to the new emperor. After that, the new emperor ordered it to be destroyed, and at the same time ordered that no one should use this thing to harm people again.

?

Xie Liuzheng was horrified when he heard this.

?

If I were to be poisoned like this and controlled by someone, I might lose the Xie family.

?

Fortunately, Fang Cheng took a breath and continued, "Mr. Pei said that the prescription made by this concubine is much less effective than the one used by the King of Chu. It is said to be a control, but in fact it only makes people lose their memory for a period of time, and the effect of the medicine will automatically disappear after two quarters of an hour."

?

Xie Liuzheng breathed a sigh of relief and then smiled bitterly.

?

In this world where chastity is more important than life, the means to harm a woman do not need to be complicated. The most direct way is to destroy her innocence and then tell her that she did it voluntarily. You can even tell her that she was the one who seduced the other party.

?

Xie Liuzheng sat there for a moment, then let out a long sigh, "You can go down first. If you have anything to say, come to the mansion and tell me directly."

?

After Fang Cheng left, Qiuyue worriedly advised Xie Liuzheng, "Miss, you should not leave the house in the future. What if someone..."

?

"Will it be safe if we don't leave the house?" Xie Liuzheng took a deep breath and told himself to cheer up. "You can only catch a thief in a thousand days, but you can't guard against it in a thousand days. We are lucky to know the opponent's methods and take precautions in advance. If we can't guard against it, we can only blame ourselves for not being as skilled as others."

?

Qiuyue didn't dare to persuade him anymore, and she packed up the tea bowls and sent them to the tea room. When she came back, Xie Liuzheng was reading a book, and Qiuyue didn't dare to disturb her. She took the half-sewn socks and sewed them stitch by stitch.

?

To outsiders, the master and servant seemed to be enjoying themselves, but only they themselves knew how heavy their hearts were.

?

But life must go on, and we cannot just put aside the things that need to be done.

?

Xie Liuzheng thought that she had been busy with the silk shop during this period and did not go to pay respects to Old Madam Feng. The next day, after breakfast, she took some gifts to the Feng family.

?

But he was stopped at the door.

?

The doorman, who had been very enthusiastic towards Xie Liuzheng at first, turned away her with a cold face and a stern look on his face.

?

"A merchant girl dares to enter the Feng family's door. She really doesn't know how much she thinks she is. Go away, go away, and don't come here again, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."

?

Qiuyue was so angry that her face turned red. She went up to the doorman and argued, "Our young lady came to pay her respects to the old lady. The old lady didn't think that our young lady's status was low. How could you, a doorman, drive her away with such a loud voice? Do you think your status is more respectable than the old lady's?"

?

This is very heartbreaking.

?

The concierge was angry and afraid, and said in a more aggressive tone, "If I tell you to get out, get out now. This is not a place for you merchants to walk around as you please."

?

"The old lady has been kind enough to meet you a few times, and you really think you are important people. In fact, in the eyes of the old lady, you are just like cats hunting. I will tease you to relieve my boredom when I am happy. If you make noise again, I will take action."

?

Qiuyue wanted to say something, but was called back by Xie Liuzheng. She returned to the carriage and whispered, "It's not that I want to argue with this man, it's just that he is too unreasonable. We have rewarded him every time we came before, but he turned against us. What a jerk."

?

"If we are not merchants, why should we be so generous as to reward the concierge?" Xie Liuzheng glanced at Qiuyue calmly and said in a deep voice: "You also said that he is just a concierge, how dare he drive away the old lady's guests without permission."

?

Qiuyue took a breath and said, "Miss, what you mean is that the old lady doesn't want to see you?"

?

It may not be the old lady, it is most likely Madam Feng II.

?

Xie Liuzheng sneered. Madam Feng's method was very clever. She couldn't even see the old lady, so naturally she had no chance to complain again.

?

However, if Xie Liuzheng wanted to see someone, he had to see them in large numbers, even if he had to use extraordinary means.

?

In her previous life, she was harmed by Qin Guangjin and his son, causing her family to be destroyed and her reputation to be ruined, but she had nowhere to turn to. In her rebirth, what she regretted most was that she did not make any preparations before running to beat the drum to ask for an audience with the emperor.

?

She was really stupid in her previous life. She did things on impulse and never used her brain.

?

Qiuyue tried to guess what Xie Liuzheng was planning, "Miss, do you want Madam Liu to pass on your message to the old lady?"

?

Xie Liuzheng shook his head.

?

Madam Feng had already made it clear that Xie Liuzheng was not allowed to appear in front of the old lady again, and she asked Madam Liu to pass on the message, which implicated Madam Liu.

?

Even if she really dared to think so, Mrs. Liu would definitely not dare to do it.

?

Qiuyue couldn't think of any other way to see the old lady, and sighed in frustration, "This servant is really a pig-brained person. I can't help the young lady in any way."

?

"No, you've already helped me a lot." Xie Liuzheng smiled and pinched Qiuyue's face, "I need you to do something for me."

?

He whispered a few words in Qiuyue's ear.

?

The more Qiuyue listened, the brighter her eyes became. After listening, a smile bloomed on her face, "Yes, I will do it right away."

?

Xie Liuzheng looked at Qiuyue's background and couldn't help thinking of his past life. Qiuyue was covered with scars before she died, and there was a shocking pool of blood under her body.

?

He shook his head to get the image out of his mind.

?

There is no point in reminiscing about the past. Only by making those who have hurt them pay double the price can the pain in her heart be healed.
