Gu Feiyan tried very hard to guess, but she still wanted to continue probing.

Jun Jiuchen interrupted her and said, "It seems that you have accepted the matter of secretly changing the ingredients."

Uh...

All of Gu Feiyan's thoughts came to a halt as she was stunned.

She had tried so hard to analyze his identity that she had overlooked the fact that he had set her up early on. The thing that she wouldn't acknowledge even if she died was actually admitted by her voluntarily.

She must have had a fever, she thought.

When she saw Jun Jiuchen's cold eyes once again, she couldn't help but feel a little guilty. She could only console herself. No matter who this fellow was, at the very least, his positions were not hostile. Her little life could not be lost!

"Since we're on the same side, why don't we get to the point? Why did you kidnap me?"

Jun Jiuchen was even more straightforward, "Tell me first, who are you? Why are you hiding in the Imperial Pharmacy instead of Miss Gu? "

Gu Feiyan didn't expect this guy to throw her such a scary question, so she subconsciously avoided his scrutiny. It wasn't that she was stupid, she thought, but this guy was too smart.

Jun Jiuchen's cold and fierce gaze followed behind Gu Feiyan's eyes, patiently waiting.

He had wanted Cheng Yifei to fight her a few more times, but he hadn't thought that Princess Huaining would interfere. Princess Huaining had always been concerned about Qi Yu’s reputation and didn't dare to do anything to this girl. Now that rumors were flying everywhere, she dared to directly follow Cheng Yifei to snatch her away. It was highly likely that she would take this little girl's life. Of course he had to interrogate everything before Princess Huaining did.

Gu Feiyan was guilty, but she very quickly looked Jun Jiuchen straight in the eye.

Facing such a shrewd man, she could not feel guilty. She would lose if she had a guilty conscience!

She didn't know why the original owner had died in the carriage, but she was certain that her body had crashed into the abyss in the Ice Sea Spiritual Realm. Her soul had been reborn, leaving no trace behind. As long as she did not speak the truth, no one on this continent would be able to find out that she was not Gu Feiyan, including this cold fellow in front of her.

What was she afraid of him for?

Not only did Gu Feiyan answer, she even purposely provoked him.

Unfortunately, Jun Jiuchen wasn't that easy to be provoked. His expression did not change as he said coldly, "When you were a child, your martial arts talent was excellent. At the age of eight, you drowned and after a year of unconsciousness, you lost all your martial arts and learned medicine. Five years ago, you took a test in the imperial pharmacy and only got a C grade. For the past five years, you have been a medicine slave, doing odd jobs. You've only been promoted to a medicine girl for less than three months, and you've also done odd jobs. Where did you learn medicine and poison? "

Investigate her?

No matter how hard he tried, he could only investigate the original owner! The original owner was the most peaceful person in Jinyang City! What could he find out?

Gu Feiyan was still calm, "Self-taught, is that wrong? Since you have investigated, you should know that the Gu Family has a lot of talented people in medicine! "

Jun Jiuchen continued to pursue the matter, "To conceal one's strength and condescend to be a medicine slave, putting on a cowardly act, what is your motive for doing so?"

Gu Feiyan immediately replied, "No ulterior motive. I'm kind, broad-minded, and do not like to put on airs. I just like to settle things peacefully."

"Stealing fake prescription, pushing the blame to be warm and gentle, refusing to sign the marriage annulment contract, and using Cheng Yifei to humiliate the Qi family and cause chaos throughout the city." The corners of Jun Jiuchen's mouth curled up in ridicule as he said, "What a 'peaceful person'!"

Gu Feiyan said angrily, "You've been following me!"

This guy even knew that she humiliated Qi Yu when he came to her house late at night to break off the engagement. Without a doubt, he had been secretly watching her!

Jun Jiuchen gripped the small cauldron tightly, and warned, "Tell me who you are, and how much do you know about the fake prescription and the real culprit? Otherwise, I will destroy this immediately! "

Gu Feiyan finally lost her composure, "Stop!"

However, Jun Jiuchen was as calm as ever, as if his emotions never fluctuated. "You seem to have admitted that this thing is important to you."

After he finished speaking, he clenched the small Cauldron without the slightest hesitation, increasing the force in his hands.

Gu Feiyan gasped, realizing that she had fallen into his trap again. He did not know that the little Cauldron was her weakness. From the very beginning when he had handed her the little Cauldron, he had been testing her and even that threat had only been a test.

This guy was not only smart, he was shrewd!

Every word that he had said up till now, each and every one of them had an extremely strong purpose in mind!

Gu Feiyan really did not know what luck she had with this guy last time. He was much more terrifying than she had imagined.

Gu Feiyan stared at Jun Jiuchen in silence, secretly telling herself that she had to remain calm facinf of such a man. While Jun Jiuchen was still staring at her, he didn't say a word. However, the strength of his hands gradually increased. Very soon, she could feel the strength of Jun Jiuchen's hands and could not calm down.

The little Cauldron was an ancient divine artifact, so she wasn't sure if this fellow could destroy it.

If this fellow was able to destroy the little Cauldron, then it’s over. If this fellow was unable to destroy the little Cauldron, he would definitely discover that the little Cauldron was a good item. What if he wanted it for himself then?

Gu Feiyan had no choice, so she coldly asked, "It is indeed very important to me, what do you want? Let's just say it! "

Jun Jiuchen's voice was colder than hers, "The truth!"

The truth?

Gu Feiyan took a deep breath, looked serious, and began to lie.

"I am really Gu Feiyan! I am not kind, and my heart is not big! I hold a grudge, I remember my revenge, I will fight! Who dares to bully me, I want to repay it with millions! The reason why I had been resigned and conceded before was because I was too weak and too incompetent! What can the weak do beside forbearance? A year ago, I found a pharmacopoeia among my grandfather's relics, and I secretly learned it. Medicine and poison belong to the same family. Why am I being bullied for nothing? It wasn't easy for me to become a medicine girl, and I was just about to have a chance to show my talent and learn when I bumped into that fake prescription! If I tell the truth, the first one to suffer at that juncture will be me! If I don't secretly change the medicine and General Cheng dies, the one who will accompany him in death will be me!"

Gu Feiyan's mouth was full of lies, but she did not feel guilty at all. Instead, she was righteous and indignant.

What she said was a lie, but it was also the cruel law of survival of the strong in this world! It was the original owner's sorrow and her own grievance and misfortune in this matter!

She met Jun Jiuchen's cold gaze and asked seriously, "If you were me, what would you do?"

This was the first time in Jun Jiuchen's life that he had been so patient to hear so much from a woman. Who knew how much he believed Gu Feiyan. He lowered his head in silence, as if he was deep in thought, but the strength in his hands didn't stop.

The way he quietly pondered made him seem cold and distant, as if he was a lonely world. No one could ever get in, no one could figure it out.

In the silence, Gu Feiyan became anxious …
