“Someone poisoned the lake in the Sunset Forest with rampage potions. The amount of the potion is so large that the star beasts who drink from the lake all become mad, and people would be affected if they drink it from the lake. Now hundreds of wells have been dug in the Sunset Forest. No one dares to drink from the lake anymore.”
“How can the lake be drugged?” Zheng bin asked, his eyes widened.
Zheng Hong gave a bleak smile and said, “In order to kill Lou Yu, Nalan Yue probably has cast everything behind. I think the Nalans already forget that my grandson is also among them.”
“General, you mean in order to kill the third prince, Consort Nalan poisoned the lake?”
Zheng Hong nodded and said, “That crazy woman unexpectedly can do such a thing. If this goes big, the whole Rong Kingdom will be buried for Lou Feng’s ambition. Aren’t the Nalans afraid to be condemned as sinners through the ages? Even if Lou Yu dies, I will never let Lou Feng take that position!”
In the imperial palace
Lou Feng frowned, with the eyes nailing on Nalan Yue on the opposite side. His cold eyes made Nalan Yue shudder.
“Ayue, do you know what you’re doing?” Lou Sheng asked with a cold face.
Nalan Yue pretended to be angry, “What are you talking about, Sheng?”
“What am I talking about? You drugged the lake in the Sunset Forest, and made the star beasts there go crazy, don’t you know that? Do you know how many star beasts there are in the forest? Do you know that nine out of ten of the level eight masters who have entered the depths of the Forest can never get out? How dare you try to use those beasts?” Lou Sheng asked angrily.
“I didn’t do that! How can you throw such a thing at me?” Nalan asked calmly, pressing down her fear.
“Ayue, don’t think everyone is a fool! I can understand you want to teach Lou Yu a lesson, but, not in this way. Don’t you remember the disaster of the rampaged beasts five hundred years ago?” Lou Sheng questioned her angrily.
Five hundred years ago, a nightmare flower of grade eight grew in the Sunset Forest, which could also bewitch those star beasts and drive them crazy as the rampage potions did.
That time star beasts influenced by the nightmare flower were countless, in those days the whole kingdom was almost destroyed during the star beast tide. People who survived were less than 10%. After five hundred years, it took a lot of the kingdom to restore to the present level.
Nalan Yue looked down, saying with a little reluctant tone, “But…”
Lou Sheng threw a list at Nalan Yue, “This is the potion that Mo Fei has extracted from the water in the lake of Sunset Forest.”
Lou Sheng threw out another list toward Nalan Yue then, “And this one is the star herbs your family recently has secretly purchased, the main ingredients of rampage potion is Heaven Herbs, just this time your family secretly purchased.”
At the bottom of her heart, Nalan Yue felt a cold. Lou Sheng knew everything. He just had been looking on coldly.
Lou sheng sighed, “Before you tried to kill Liu Yu with the gold-eating ants, and I turned a blind eye. But, this time your family has gone too far. If this matter goes big, the entire country will be destroyed.”
Nalan Yue’s heart tightened, she raised her head, saying with a stubborn tone, “I lost my head for the moment, you know, Lou Feng got ambushed that day, clearly it was Lou Yu! He got his grandfather as his back, and denied it. Now Lou Yu’s making progress rapidly, while Afeng marks time due to his hidden wounds. I really can’t take this!” Knowing that she could no longer cover it, Nalan Yue just put it above the table.
Lou Sheng sighed. “Even if it’s Lou Yu, you shouldn’t have drugged the lake in the Sunset Forest!”
Nalan Yue said with grievance, “I just wanted to give Lou Yu a little lesson, did not consider so much.”
Lou Sheng coldly looked at Nalan Yue, “You only wanted to give him a lesson? Have you ever considered Zheng Xuan?”
Nalan Yue’s face stiffened. Since Lou Yu made it to level seven, she already cast Zheng Xuan totally behind.
“Zheng Xuan is Zheng Hong’s only grandson. Although they have been in a poor relationship, you should know, blood is thicker than water. The one Zheng Hong cares about most is still Zheng Xuan! If something happens to Zheng Xuan, what do you think Zhong Hong would do? Have you ever thought about it?” Lou Sheng asked harshly.
Nalan Yue’s face went stiff. Since Lou Yu could guess it out, so would Zheng Hong.
“Feng has got his eyes blinded by hatred after the wound. As his mother, you should encourage him to cheer up, but not help him run amuck.” Lou Sheng reproached her angrily.
“I…” Nalan Yue wanted to argue back, but got her words stuck in the throat.
Lou Sheng let out a light sigh, saying, “Even if Lou Yu has already made it to level seven, Zheng Hong may not necessarily support him, but if you Nalans sacrificed so many people’s lives for your own good, like the beast tide, do you think Zheng Hong would still take no side?”
Hearing his words, Nalan Yue was thunderstruck. So she overreached herself finally?
