Chapter 1670 Taboo

Zhu Feng's eyes were deep and sinister, even carrying a hint of bloodthirsty aura that hadn't been seen in a long time. He slowly said, "Just tell me what you have to say. There are no outsiders here."

"yes."

Wang Baizhi agreed, thought for a moment, and then said, "This kind of poison isn't recorded anywhere else, but there are, uh, a few, tiny records of it in some...books in the palace."

“……!”

Nan Yan suddenly opened her eyes wide.

Is there any record in the palace?

What's going on?

She subconsciously turned her head to look at Zhu Feng, but saw that there was no surprise on his face, but he was very calm.

His eyes flickered slightly.

It was as if something had already surfaced in his mind when he heard about the characteristics of this poison, and was just waiting for Wang Baizhi to say it out loud.

After saying this, Wang Baizhi dared not speak again.

It seems that the poison also involves something taboo.

He didn't even dare to touch it.

For a moment, Nan Yan didn't dare to say anything and just stayed there quietly.

After an unknown amount of time, she heard Zhu Feng let out a deep breath and said, "Is this it?"

Wang Baizhi raised his hand and wiped away the cold sweat dripping from his forehead. But as soon as he wiped it away, the sweat in his hair condensed again and rolled down drop by drop. He said carefully: "This poison is just a means to hide the real poison. Only after detoxifying this poison can the real poison be detoxified."

“…”

Nan Yan gritted her teeth as she listened to Zhu Feng.

In fact, she frowned herself.

I didn't expect this matter to be so complicated.

It was originally thought that the sand bandits shot Ye Zheng as a protest and revenge against the imperial court. However, if it was really just a protest and revenge, there would be no need for such complicated means. In fact, they could even use a poison that kills instantly. Then Ye Zheng would have passed away by now.

Why use two poisons?

One of them, in particular, concealed the truth that he was poisoned.

Moreover, this kind of poison seems to have some deeper taboos.

Zhu Feng was silent for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and said, "Who else knows about this?"

Wang Baizhi hurriedly said, "I haven't told anyone, not even Miss Xiaoyu. I know this matter is of great importance, and after discovering it, I came directly to report it to the Emperor and the Empress."

Zhu Feng nodded: "You did the right thing."

“…”

"Don't let anyone know."

“…”

"You continue your research. No matter what the poison is, I must first save Ye Zheng's life. I want to see him wake up safely."

"yes."

Wang Baizhi agreed, packed up the medicine box, and picked up the piece of cloth.

Then he left the imperial study.

As soon as he left and the door closed, Nan Yan immediately turned to look at Zhu Feng: "Your Majesty."

She had wanted to tell Zhu Feng right away that she had the detoxification pills He Yi had given her, and that they might be worth a try. But before she could finish her words, she saw Zhu Feng propping up his head with his hands, his temples swollen and aching, his face gritting his teeth.

Nan Yan hurried over and gently covered the back of his hand: "Your Majesty..."

Zhu Feng took a deep breath and raised his head.

Looking at the deep wrinkles between his eyebrows, Nan Yan seemed to sense that this matter was unusual and asked softly, "Is there anything wrong with that poison?"

“…”

"Is Your Majesty willing to tell me?"
