"Well..." Doctor Zhu felt awkward. He has always prioritized saving lives and isn't skilled in poisons.
"Simple and straightforward will do." Ye Huang tightened his grip on the jade bead, lightly tapping the table.
The person coming to collect the beads should arrive soon.
Sure enough, a few minutes later, Fu Xue brought in a young and beautiful woman: "Young Master Ye, someone is here to see you."
"Hello, Young Master Ye, I am Bai Yu." Bai Yu extended her hand first, a cold smile on her beautiful face, "I am Bai Xiao's cousin."
Ye Huang scrutinized Bai Yu indifferently, not reaching out: "Are you the one sent by the empress?"
"Yes." Bai Yu retracted her hand somewhat awkwardly and sat across from Ye Huang, "Where are the beads?"
Ye Huang pushed the embroidered box over. Bai Yu opened it, looked inside, and smiled with satisfaction: "Young Master Ye is also someone trusted by the empress."
"Mutual trust!" Ye Huang responded without any emotion.
