368 Twins
Ning Yue thought for a moment. She did have onions in her space, but taking them out so openly was quite troublesome to explain.
The soul of borscht was an onion. If there was no onion, the borscht would have no soul and would not taste good.
She didn’t want to do it, but Yuan Hui had just woken up from the poison. He had asked for borscht.
Sigh, forget it. She would think of something.
Ning Yue went out to buy vegetables and made a bowl of borscht. Yuan Hui and Jiang Ying ate with relish.
“It’s so delicious. This is the most decent dish I’ve eaten since I came here!” Yuan Hui said.
Ning Yue knew that Yuan Hui meant after transmigrating him but Jiang Ying did not know. He thought that the dishes of the Great Yun Nation were not to Yuan Hui’s liking.
“What delicacies are there in Russia? I really want to try them when I have the chance,” Jiang Ying said.
When Yuan Hui heard this, he looked at Jiang Ying meaningfully. “There will be a chance.”
“Ahem!” Ning Yue thought that Yuan Hui wanted to say something and hurriedly coughed hard.
After they finished dinner, Ning Yue wanted Jiang Ying to take her shopping on the streets of the capital, but before she could leave, an uninvited guest arrived.
Willow!
He had actually come to the capital of the Great Yun Nation!
“Princess Mingyue, long time no see.” Willow said.
Ning Yue’s expression was very ugly. Originally, Yuan Hui had said that there was almost news about the investigation of Willow and Lian Xin. As she had been drugged, she had forgotten to ask Yuan Hui about his condition.
Now that Willow was here, this was not a good thing.
“I heard that your bounty has already reached a thousand taels of silver. If I spread the news, what will the outcome be?” Ning Yue asked.
“You won’t,” Willow said firmly.
“What are you doing here?” Jiang Ying shielded Ning Yue behind him and asked Willow with a dark expression.
Seeing Jiang Ying’s actions, Willow couldn’t help but laugh. “Prince Jiang, you’re really good at burning bridges.”
Jiang Ying frowned slightly. He didn’t remember any interaction between him and Willow.
“Yesterday, I got someone to send you a small box with the antidote inside,” Willow said.
Ning Yue paused for a moment. Was the antidote the medicine to detoxify the poison in her and Yuan Hui’s bodies? Was this what she thought?
Willow’s next words confirmed Ning Yue’s guess. “I heard that Princess Mingyue and the Emperor of Russia were poisoned. Coincidentally, I have the antidote for this poison.”
His words made Ning Yue even more vigilant. The matter of her and Yuan Hui being poisoned should be a secret. How did Willow know about this?
It was fine if he knew, but he still had the antidote in his hand. There must be something wrong!
Jiang Ying was about to say something when Ning Yue stopped him. “Thank you.”
She did not think that Willow would be so kind as to give them the antidote. She was worried that Willow would poison the medicine.
However, she could analyze the composition of the antidote and then study if there were extra components.
“Since Princess Mingyue is so sincere in thanking me, why don’t you convert this gratitude into an item?” Willow said to Ning Yue with a smile.
Ning Yue looked at him warily and asked, “What do you want?”
Willow smiled. “I’m a very direct person. I also like to talk to direct people. Princess Mingyue, I want you to do me a favor.”
“You’re still talking about being direct. You’re not being direct,” Ning Yue said.
“Yes, it’s simple. I want you to kill the Wargod of the Black City Kingdom. I heard that he’s in Prince Jin’s fief now.” Willow said.
Ning Yue frowned even more. If Willow and Lian Xin were the same person, was he asking her to help kill himself? That didn’t make sense.
But if they weren’t the same person, how could she explain these coincidences?
“I’ll give you time to consider. I won’t disturb you today.” Willow left.
Not long after he left, Yuan Hui arrived. “Yueyue! There’s a result regarding what you asked me to investigate.”
When Ning Yue heard this, she became energetic and quickly asked him, “How is it?”
“These two aren’t the same person, but they’re twins.” Yuan Hui explained the situation.
It turned out that the Black City Kingdom had a taboo against twins. When Lian Xin’s mother was pregnant with Lian Xin and Willow, she already knew that they were twins.
The emperor of the Black City Kingdom at that time did not know. Lian Xin’s mother was worried that she would be seen when she was pregnant with them, so she did not dare to eat much. She was afraid that the two children would grow too big for her to hide it.
