Chapter 1784: Fake News

Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations

The news about Murong Hui’s poisoning and his wound could not stop bleeding quickly spread throughout Vast City, and the entire Duke Manor was shrouded in a dark cloud.

In those two days, bowls of blood-enriching decoctions were continuously sent in, and pots of blood kept coming out. People on the outside couldn’t get in, and they were anxious about the situation inside.

But Sima You Yue gave an order not to allow anyone to enter, and they couldn’t know the specific situation inside.

Based on the previous situation, even though Murong Xi was favored by Murong Hui, her status in the Duke Manor was not high, and many people would not take her words to heart. But this time was different. The steward Murong Lin personally executed the order, and the clan elder personally took the seat, and no one dared to violate her order.

But in Murong Hui’s room, there was no such anxious atmosphere outside, but rather relaxed and cozy.

Murong Hui and the little old man were playing chess on the bed, Murong Lin was watching them and Sima You Yue was playing around with medicinal materials. She chopped up the medicinal materials sent in from outside to extract the essence, then put it in a bowl and put it on the ground.

Blacky on the ground sniffed, and then lazily closed it’s eyes.

“If you aren’t gonna drink, go back.” Sima You Yue threatened.

Blacky protested twice, and obediently drank everything. In order to express its own little emotions, it ate the bowl together, and bit it fiercely.

The movement here attracted the attention of the other three people. Seeing Blacky’s grievance, they all smiled and shook their heads.

“If it doesn’t want to drink, don’t force it.” The little old man was embarra.s.sed.

Sima You Yue continued to fiddle with the medicinal materials, without raising her head and said: “These medicinal materials have to be tried, or do you come, Ancestor?”

The little old man looked at the medicinal herbs in her hand and shook his head, “You should let your little dog give it a try.”

Blacky opened its eyes and glared at him, then reluctantly closed it again.

Murong Hui was about to play chess, and when he heard that she had to study the medicinal materials, he said, “Xi’er, how long will I have to stay here for?”

“Father, your injury has not healed yet, you have to stay for at least three or five days!” Sima You Yue said, “By then, Uncle Lin would also have picked out the mole.”

“Do you really think this is something that a mole has done?” The little old man asked.

“I don’t believe in coincidences. Too many coincidences are gathered together, and that is because of ulterior motives.” Sima You Yue said, “Why would you encounter so many sacred beasts on your way back? Why is it that after Father returns, only Elder Fu who can heal him disappears? Why does he have this kind of poison that will not be found without bleeding? And the person who can poison his Father must be able to approach him. Adding all these things together, it’s hard not to make people doubt it!”

From the time she knew that Elder Fu was not here, she felt that way, everything was too coincidental, and the coincidence made her feel that it was not a coincidence at all!

“Then, who do you think this mole will be?” Murong Hui asked.

“Father, don’t you all already have a suspect? Why are you asking me for?” Sima You Yue pouted, “I don’t care about those things, I only need to heal my Father.”

“I’m really curious, how many things do you know?” The little old man said, “Medicine, alchemy, array, what else can you do?”

“That’s all I know.” Sima You Yue said, “It happens that I have learned a little before.”

The three of them looked at her, obviously no one believed.

“By the way, Father, are you going out this time to deal with ore veins? Are you interested in ore veins?” Sima You Yue asked.

“I originally wanted to deal with this matter, but now it seems that this matter should also be fake news released by others.” Murong Hui said.

“Fake news?” Sima You Yue felt unreliable.

“Because it’s not just me, but several families are involved in this matter, but no one really found that vein.” Murong Hui explained, “We have been searching the surrounding mountains, and nothing has been discovered. In addition, I was calculated by others, so I feel that this news should be fake, it is the news that was released to lead me into a trap.”

“What if that news is true?” Sima You Yue asked.

“Really? Why do you think so?” Murong Hui asked.

“Because… I think the person who set up the trap didn’t release this news out of thin air. If the news is too fake, it won’t be able to convince you.” Sima You Yue did not say Mi Er, thinking of such an excuse, and it was considered to be an excuse.

“You’re right.” Murong Hui felt so too. “The news we got before is really true. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be rus.h.i.+ng over with someone. But after I got there, I haven’t looked for it for a long time. I found it, so I think the news is false. But after listening to your a.n.a.lysis, I think it makes some sense.”

“Father, I’ve researched a little bit about finding ore veins. Why don’t you wait until this matter is over and I will go find it with you.” After Sima You Yue finished speaking, she found that they were staring at herself and asked, “What’s the matter?”

“Do you still know how to look for ore veins?” Murong Lin asked in surprise.

“A little bit.” Sima You Yue said, “Although I don’t understand very well, one more person has more power. Maybe I can help!”

“That’s what you said. Then you can go together.” Murong Hui agreed. The more he got along with Sima You Yue, the more he felt that she was very capable, and maybe she could really help him find the veins.

The situation in Vast Region has been very severe recently. Although he is deeply loved by the Prince, the hard conditions of Vast Region are not enough. It is of great significance to Vast Region for the Prince to find ore veins.

“Someone is coming.” The little old man threw the chess piece in his hand into the chess box, “Really, so coming only after so many days, simply a waste of my time.”

“Miss, stay with Master, those people won’t break in.” Murong Lin said.

“Alright.” Sima You Yue nodded. With her strength, she wouldn’t rush to die!

Murong Lin and the little old man went out. She heard voices of questioning and fighting outside the room, and turned to look at Murong Hui.

Murong Hui was still studying the chess game on the table, and he was not worried about the outside situation at all. It seems that today’s situation was already expected.

She pouted, it was obvious that they had an arrangement like this. Then they still asked her those just now, didn’t they just want to test her?

Outside, the second steward led people to surround the entire courtyard. Murong Lin and the others were not surprised at his appearance. They didn’t even question him, and the two sides started fighting directly.

“Father, do you know it was the second steward?” Sima You Yue asked.

“I know. There are only a few people who can know my whereabouts so clearly. The others came back after I went to Eternal Brilliance City. He is the only one who can betray me.”

“Then do you know who is behind him?” Sima You Yue asked again.
