639 The Truth Is Out (2)
Bai Qianli could not escape or win. The only way to escape was to die, but he did not have the courage to die. If he wanted to survive, he had to please Nangong Yan. He began to imitate Prince Yan’s preferences and expression.
The more he looked like Prince Yan, the more Nangong Yan could not take her eyes off him.
Finally, Nangong Yan rested in his courtyard.
At first, Nangong Yan did not trust him very much, but once a woman handed over her body, her heart would not be far away. Bai Qianli did not dare to say that he had replaced Prince Yan’s status in her heart, but at least, she no longer had any grudges against him. She slowly let him know her secrets.
She drugged Prince Yan, destroyed his memories, and became the Zijun in the depths of Prince Yan’s memories.
But so what?
Prince Yan accepted her rationally, but he did not like to touch her.
There was a love Gu in Nanzhao, but the love Gu would dilute the medicinal properties of the Soul Devouring Grass. Gradually, Nangong Yan did not dare to let Prince Yan use it.
Nangong Yan began to look for comfort from Bai Qianli.
Bai Qianli looked at the endless night and muttered, “Sometimes, she can’t tell who’s with her. Is it me, Bai Qianli, or her Prince Consort of Nanzhao?”
“You gave her the Five Stone Powder?” Yan Jiuchao said bluntly.
Bai Qianli’s expression changed slightly.
The Five Stone Powder was also called the Hanshi Powder. It was a medicinal powder that suppressed pain. Its effect was extremely good. However, if one took too much, it would cause one to hallucinate. It was often used to liven up the mood in brothels. It was easily addictive and had already been listed as a forbidden medicine by the Imperial Court in the Great Zhou.
This was not sold on the market in Nanzhao. Bai Qianli was bored and asked someone to buy the pill formula to concoct it herself.
Initially, he used it to numb himself so that he could serve Nangong Yan better. However, he did not know when he no longer needed the Hanshi powder. He even looked forward to Nangong Yan’s arrival.
