I pushed open the door and walked in. Xi Lin Yan stood with his back to me by the window, his eyes like a deep pool, face serene. Hearing the sound, he turned his head to look at me, his handsome eyebrows slightly furrowed, coldly saying: “Get out!”
I glared at him fiercely and said sharply: “You shut up!” Then directly turned away, ignoring him, and spoke to the two outside: “Wuxing, guard outside. Wuying, come in and tell me clearly what’s going on?”
Wuying glanced at Xi Lin Yan, standing at the door unsure whether to enter or exit!
“Just come in, don’t mind that guy!” Seeing Xi Lin Yan turn back to the window, Wuying then entered the room and closed the door.
“Speak. Why did that guy lose his memory?”
Wuying replied: “Reporting to Milord, the Young Master was given Forget Soul Powder!”
“Forget Soul Powder?” I muttered the name while searching my mind for related information.
Forget Soul Powder, a colorless and tasteless slow-acting poison that must be administered in small amounts in the victim’s food daily.
Once the toxin accumulates to a certain level, it will take effect. The poisoned person won’t die immediately but will gradually lose all memories, then their mind, and finally be completely controlled by the poisoner.
I asked weakly: “Where’s Ying Xiao?”
Wuying paused: “Miss Xiao… is gone!” The expected answer, I wasn’t surprised, just more sad. Why? Why like this? Why did it have to be you?
Forget Soul Powder could only be easily administered by someone close to Xi Lin Yan. That girl who grew up with me and called me “Sister Xin” – why did it have to be you?
Gripping the cup with all my strength, my fingertips tingling and turning pale, I tried to hide the moisture in the corners of my eyes, and said heavily: “When did the Young Master start showing symptoms?”
Wuying replied: “The night the imperial decree was received!”
“What do you think about this matter?” I put down my cup and looked up at him.
Wu Ying avoided my gaze, bowing respectfully: “This subordinate dare not presume!”
I stared at him sharply, coldly saying: “Enough, Wu Ying. We grew up together, and you’re always by the young master’s side. I don’t believe you really can’t see anything!”
