Chu Qianli didn't have the energy to argue with her about this now.
The most important thing was to rescue Feng Yexuan.
Other matters could be discussed later if there was an opportunity.
"Forget it, the palace will be in chaos soon, and we need to leave amidst the confusion. We can't delay any longer."
Chu Qianli untied the ropes binding her limbs, rummaged through the wardrobe, and tossed an outfit to her.
"Hurry and put it on. We can talk about everything after we leave the palace."
"You... want to save me?" Huarong leaned on the edge of the bed, struggling even to sit up.
There wasn't a single good spot on her body. She had also been fed medicine by Eunuch Qing earlier, and now she didn't even have the strength to walk.
Chu Qianli walked to the window, carefully listening to the sounds outside.
"I..." Huarong looked at her back. "I tried to kill you several times before. Do you... do you not hate me?"
"Hate you? I hate you so much I never want to see you again, so much I want to kick you flying."
Without even turning her head, Chu Qianli took out a drone and the pre-prepared gunpowder keg from her Qiankun Chain.
Creating chaos with manpower was too dangerous; a drone was the best choice.
Huarong didn't know where she got so many strange things. Seeing Chu Qianli's calm demeanor, she felt a bit of guilt.
Therefore, she didn't mind what Chu Qianli said.
What was there to mind? It turned out that from beginning to end, she herself was the worst person.
"Thank you," she said softly.
"Don't thank me. I still dislike you immensely. I'm only saving you for Yexuan's sake."
Chu Qianli snorted coldly, not even bothering to look at her. "If you were still in the palace, Yexuan wouldn't leave with me so easily. So, don't thank me."
If it weren't for Feng Yexuan, she probably wouldn't have ventured here to save her.
If she were to save someone who repeatedly tried to kill her for no reason, she would truly be a fool.
Was she that kind of person?
"Regardless, helping Yexuan is also helping me."
Huarong sat on the edge of the bed, truly lacking the strength to get down.
She had to slowly regain some strength, otherwise, she wouldn't be able to do even the last bit of what needed to be done.
"Chu Qianli, listen to me. I... I want to tell you some secrets."
"We'll talk after we get out."
"No, I'm afraid... it might be too late."
Huarong leaned against the headboard, watching her busy figure, while she herself seemed somewhat leisurely.
"The true mastermind behind the Medicine People Legion is Nangong Shuya."
"What?" Chu Qianli's heart jolted, and she turned to look at her abruptly.
"Nangong Shuya... she has been plotting for over twenty years. Back then, she wanted to kill me every day, but she never had the chance."
"She cultivated a group of Medicine People in secret. I always knew, but I didn't expose her because... because..."
"Because you also wanted to use these Medicine People to do your bidding, didn't you?"
Chu Qianli turned back, glaring at her.
They were truly cruel! Those innocent people poisoned and turned into Medicine People, they all had families. They deserved to have their own lives.
But because of these people's selfish desires, they were poisoned like this, losing their consciousness.
For a lifetime, they could only be tools for killing!
Huarong dared not face her angry gaze.
She knew she was wrong.
Perhaps, it had been wrong from over twenty years ago.
If she had taken Xuan'er in her womb and descended into hell to find his father together.
Would their lives have been rewritten from then on?
