Chapter 1725 - 1727: Do I Need Principles When Dealing with Devils?
"You!" Hearing Yang Chuxia say this, the Poison Lady was obviously a bit exasperated, "How can you be like this? Why are you so suspicious? I’ve already told you, why don’t you believe me?"
"Don’t change the subject," Yang Chuxia said, "You mentioned his illness, I believe you. It’s a kind of split personality disorder, I understand. A person should originally have only one personality, but due to dissatisfaction with life, he divided it into two. The original timid side is the primary personality, while the current ruthless side is the secondary personality. His current state clearly shows that the secondary personality has become the dominant one."
"But that’s not what I’m asking about. I’m asking about your relationship with him, and why you told me about this?"
"My relationship with him?" The Poison Lady’s gaze was obviously wandering. "I am his mother consort’s maid."
"Good, next question."
Seeing her hesitate, Yang Chuxia threatened, "The poison you administered to Prince Ning was quite effective. How about I apply it to you and have you approach Prince Le?"
"Useless, he would just kill me." The Poison Lady was well aware of Prince Le’s temperament.
"In that case," Yang Chuxia suddenly lowered her voice and whispered in her ear, "how about this?"
"You..." The Poison Lady was shocked, was this a woman? This was a demon! She actually planned to have her interact with animals!!
"You’re shameless!"
"Hehe, I’ve never denied that, especially when dealing with enemies." Yang Chuxia smiled candidly, "Enemies are never just enemies in front of me, they’re demons. Do I need to uphold principles when dealing with demons?"
"But Prince Le has always been lenient with you!" The Poison Lady wanted to point out that they were enemies of Prince Le, but Prince Le had never wiped them out completely. Why couldn’t she show some leniency?
"You’re not Prince Le!" Yang Chuxia simply retorted. "I think you’ve been in seclusion too long to understand the world’s rules. You are you, your master is your master. Speak!"
"Fine, I’ll speak," the Poison Lady said, "You and Divine Doctor Mu are in cahoots. I told you about this because I wanted you to develop a medicine to resist the demon within him, to revert him to his original state. His current state is too dangerous, like he has a devil living inside. If things go as he wishes, and chaos reigns someday, he will become someone everyone wants to eradicate. I don’t want him to turn into that!"
"Are you so sure we’ll do as you wish?"
"Isn’t it easier for you to change his personality than to sever his power?" the Poison Lady countered.
It must be said she was quite right; if Prince Le reverted to his former timid and incompetent self, the danger would be eliminated. Otherwise, who knows how many more would die. The Fancy Red Pavilion incident claimed many, the Shandong mummification disease claimed many more, and if Prince Le was not resolved, the future seemed unimaginably grim.
"He has much more power than you see," the Poison Lady admitted, "He’s a genius in his current state. You can’t contend with him; this is the only solution!"
"Has the Emperor been poisoned?" This was Yang Chuxia’s final question.
"What do you think?" The Poison Lady asked rhetorically. But before Yang Chuxia could respond, she continued, "Indeed, the Emperor was given a poison rendering him into a living corpse, but when he was detoxified, another poison was also administered at the same time."
"What poison?"
"It wasn’t me who did it, I don’t know."
Seeing Yang Chuxia squint her eyes, the Poison Lady realized Yang Chuxia didn’t believe her and couldn’t help but shout, "Are you crazy? What else do I have to deceive you? I told you he can poison people, I taught him!"
