He had suddenly releasing something. After he released all of his desires, his mind was full of clarity.
This isn’t normal!
He looked around. Suddenly, he sniffed, and his gaze landed on the ashes that remained in the incense burner. He walked over and pinched it. Then, he moved it closer to smell it better. Suddenly, he exclaimed, “Worries Be Gone Rosemary?”
The Baopu Sutra had a record of this item, but he'd never expected that such a thing that had long been lost to history would make another appearance. Those who were affected by its smell would forget everything that happened. Even if there were some leftover memories, they would only think that it was all from a dream. It was one of the best drugs for sexual assault. Countless people who had impure thoughts dreamed of such a thing.
However, the drug was extremely hard to create, and the formula had already been lost. The ingredients needed were also rare and hard to find. The original creator of the drug was a genius in medicine refining, but he hadn’t used his brilliance for the betterment of the world. He had really strange tastes; he didn’t like young ladies, and instead only wanted married women. By relying on this drug, he had been able to sleep with countless famous beautiful madams. After the affair, they didn’t even know what happened! He could even become sworn brothers with their husbands during the day, while at night, as the couple was drugged, he would take the man's place.
Just like that, he had lived for several years like an immortal. However, paper could never cover fire forever.
There had been a famous couple; because of an accident, though the husband could still do it, he hadn't been able to impregnate anyone. They hadn't said anything to anyone else, though. The medicine master hadn’t known that, and ended up getting the madam pregnant. The husband had erupted into a violent rage. However, the madam was also dumbfounded, and after looking into it, they had ended up pointing their suspicion at the medicine master.
The whole affair was finally exposed, and countless victims had hunted him down. In the end, the medicine master died an incredibly miserable death, and his Worries Be Gone Rosemary was lost.
“Why would this thing appear here?” Zu An muttered, his brows furrowing tightly.
He suddenly recalled King Dai’s unnatural actions and immediately realized something. So it was him!
He walked over to the coffin and looked down at King Jin, whose complexion was an ashen gray. Perhaps it was because of the reflections of the surrounding cold jade, but his body shone a faint green color, making him look a bit sinister.
Zu An sighed, saying, “You really are pitiful. You ended up being used and gave your life away. Then, as soon as you died, your older brother immediately set his eyes on your wife.
“Don’t blame me. Even if I hadn't been here, someone else would have taken advantage of Madam Jin. In a sense, I actually saved her.
“This is Worries Be Gone Rosemary, something your big brother King Dai used. This drug has a benefit, which is that your madam won’t remember a single thing about what happened. To her, she's still a wife who's fully devoted to you.
“I'll help you protect her, and I'll find the real mastermind. That can be considered getting revenge for you.”
Perhaps the corpse in the coffin heard what he said, as King Jin’s sinister expression now seemed much more gentle.
Zu An turned around to leave. When he left, he ordered Dai Seventh and Chen Eighth, “You should continue to stand guard around King Jin Manor and protect Madam Jin. Make sure to pay special attention to King Dai. Do not let him come into contact with Madam Jin alone.”
Dai Seventh and Chen Eighth were stunned, but they didn’t dare to voice their doubts. “Understood!”
Zu An paused for a moment, then said, Furthermore, send some people to look into who is targeting Madam Jin’s He clan and protect them. Look into who is causing trouble.”
“Understood!”
Zu An turned around and gave Madam Jin’s room a look. He thought to himself that this entire affair was a misunderstanding, so perhaps it wouldn't be too bad for her to just think of it all as a dream and forget about it. With his mind made up, he disappeared into the darkness, leaving King JIn Manor.
…
When he left, Dai Seventh and Chen Eighth couldn't help but hide in a corner and whisper to each other.
“Say, why do you think Chief Commander is so intent on taking care of Madam Jin? He didn’t end up falling for her, did he?”
“Heh, Madam Jin is charming and pitiful, and that small mouth is just like the beauties described in books. I’ve never seen such a delicate mouth and eyebrows. There's also a pitiful air about her that would make any man feel a desire to protect her.”
“But she is a madam, for better or for worse. Do you think…”
“Is that something we should be thinking about? We just need to follow orders.”
…
Meanwhile, in King Jin Manor’s rear residence, the entire place was full of steam. Madam Jin was lying in the bathtub, her fair skin now carrying a red blush. With a perplexed expression, she murmured, “Was all that… really just a dream?”
