I Bring a System to Flirt with the First Emperor and Build Infrastructure

Zhao Jun harbored an unknown secret: she was an online friend with His Highness the First Emperor from thousands of years ago. Every time she sent him cheap items like water cups and glass, she cou...

Chapter 135: Self-directed and self-acted

Lord Zhao didn't know why Ying Zheng suddenly asked this.

But she didn't say anything, just watched quietly as Doctor Xu sorted and checked the contents of the two sachets.

Soon, Doctor Xu discovered the problem.

"My Lord, most of the contents of these two sachets are the same."

"But the one on the left has an extra spice than the other one."

The one on the left is Fusu's.

Zhao Jun glanced at Ying Zheng carefully, and his expression became even uglier.

Doctor Xu took the extra spice in his hand and twisted it carefully to examine it.

Suddenly, his expression changed.

He quickly put the spices far away and covered his mouth and nose.

Then he knelt down towards Ying Zheng.

"Your Majesty, this, this spice must be the poison that caused the eldest son to faint."

"I have never actually seen this thing, but I have seen it in ancient books. It seems to be the petals of the Gutuo flower. It is rumored that this flower can emit a highly toxic fragrance."

Sure enough, judging from Ying Zheng’s reaction just now, there is probably something wrong with this sachet.

Ying Zheng has been silent since just now.

It was not until this time that Doctor Xu gave the answer.

"Now that we have the source of the poison, can we develop an antidote as soon as possible?"

Ying Zheng asked in a deep voice.

"this."

Doctor Xu looked a little embarrassed.

"There's no ancient text on the formula for this flower, so I'm not sure. However, I'll go back and look it up right away. I'm more hopeful than before."

Doctor Xu spoke tremblingly.

He was really unsure and could only lower his head and wait for Ying Zheng to get angry.

"Well, I understand. You should go down and research it as soon as possible."

Doctor Xu was surprised that Ying Zheng did not get angry and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He quickly walked out with the sachet of poison.

We still have to develop an antidote as soon as possible, otherwise there will be no peace in this palace.

When everyone left, she and Ying Zheng were the only ones left in the room again.

Zhao Jun couldn't help but speak.

"Your Majesty, you said that this sachet was given to Fusu by Madam Chu. Could it have been replaced by someone else? Otherwise, how could Madam Chu have murdered Fusu?"

Zhao Jun couldn't understand.

She vaguely remembered that Mrs. Chu treated Fusu particularly well.

Also, Ying Zheng's expression looked strange from the very beginning.

Is there any hidden secret here?

She looked at Ying Zheng with confusion and then glanced back at Fusu lying on the bed.

"Yeah, why would she want to hurt Fusu? The sachet was indeed swapped."

"It's just that it wasn't someone else who switched it with Fusu."

"But it's for me."

Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes. He had already figured out everything here.

"What do you mean?" asked Zhao Jun.

Ying Zheng thought about it and talked about the details he had not mentioned just now.

"Fusu originally came with a sachet tied around his waist. The one he held in his hand was meant for me."

"However, in the front hall, he accidentally got some water stains on his hand from the table, and it got on the sachet in his hand."

"Although the water stains dried up quickly, he still insisted on exchanging it with me."

As soon as Ying Zheng finished speaking, Zhao Jun understood what was going on almost instantly.

Mrs. Chu certainly would not want to kill Fusu.

The person she wanted to kill was Ying Zheng!

She deliberately wanted to use Fusu to give the poisonous sachet to Ying Zheng.

But I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.

Fusu actually exchanged sachets with Ying Zheng.

That’s why the current situation has occurred.

"If the sachets hadn't been exchanged, and we hadn't eaten the mutton, then..."

She glanced at Ying Zheng beside her.

"Then I will die quietly from a serious illness."

Ying Zheng said softly.

Died of serious illness!

Zhao Jun frowned. Mrs. Chu had a very vicious plan.

“Not only that, guess why Chu was suddenly poisoned.”

Ying Zheng even chuckled.

Combined with the meaning of his words, Zhao Jun felt his scalp tingling.

"If Madam Chu's original target was the king, then the poisoning incident was most likely a self-directed act."

"Is it to call back Fusu who is far away in Shangjun?!"

With the clues, Zhao Jun immediately understood the strangeness of Mrs. Chu's previous poisoning.

"Mrs. Chu wanted to kill me, but she couldn't get close to me, and the poison she put in the food couldn't make it into the front hall."

"So she came up with this idea."

"Fusu often interacts with me, so I am not that wary of him."

"She really directed and acted in a big drama herself."

Ying Zheng's tone was complicated.

"So Madam Chu went through so much trouble just to kill you through Fusu."

"Doesn't she know that doing this will put Fusu in danger?"

Zhao Jun was very angry.

Although Mrs. Chu did not want to kill Fusu, she still used him.

It even indirectly caused Fusu to become what he is today.

"Why would Madam Chu want to kill you? She and the king have no hatred for all these years."

Could it be that Madam Chu had been lying dormant for so many years just to kill Ying Zheng?

"When Fusu grows up and kills me, she will gain much more than she has now."

Without much thought, Ying Zheng guessed the purpose of Chu Rong's move.

After all, millions of people in this world want to kill him because they want to gain more benefits for themselves.

"You stay here and guard Fusu. I should go and clean up the mess."

Ying Zheng's cruel eyes were filled with murderous intent.
