The main hall of Marquis Zhongyuan's Mansion was brightly lit.
As soon as Lingxiao stepped into the courtyard, the main room's door swung open from the inside, and Madam Yang sat squarely in the center of the hall, watching Lingxiao as he approached.
"You've finally come," said Madam Yang gently, "How are your injuries?"
"Blood-sealing Throat, also known as Arrow-poison Wood, once it comes into contact with a wound, it can paralyze the victim's heart, coagulate the blood, and cause death by asphyxiation." Lingxiao looked at the woman before him, at once familiar and strange, and said, "Since when do the guards in our mansion have the habit of smearing deadly poison on their arrows?"
