Upon transmigration, Chu Ci became the wronged true daughter in a story of a true and false young lady. Forced medicine, substitute marriage, then exile—a triple threat?
No fear, no fear. Wit...
Chapter 247 Blood Test
After Chu Ci wrote the prescription, Zhang Xiwu just glanced at it casually and handed it to Zhou Yan without hesitation, which shows how much he trusted him!
It’s just a pity…
Chu Ci sighed lightly and waited until Zhou Yan's figure disappeared from "Xing'er's" life detection map.
Afterwards, Chu Ci quickly wrote down in detail the abnormal condition he had detected in Zhou Yan and quietly handed it to Fan Jingrui beside him.
When Fan Jingrui took it and looked at it, his heart skipped a beat. Not daring to be negligent, he quickly passed it to the purple-robed envoy beside him.
Soon, Chu Ci's note was passed around, through the hands of several people, and finally reached the hands of the eldest prince.
As soon as the eldest prince saw the note, the coldness in his body spread uncontrollably like a surging tide.
Zhang Xiwu and Zhang Pingping felt the powerful aura emanating from the eldest prince, and their hearts skipped a beat and they became uneasy.
But the eldest prince didn't say a word, so they could only suppress their inner fear and dared not even breathe.
Time seemed to stretch out and become unbearable. I didn't know how much time had passed before I finally heard the eldest prince at the top of the table say in a deep voice, "Master Zhang, would you like to take a look too?"
"Yes." Zhang Xiwu did not dare to neglect and respectfully took the note. The father and daughter hurried together. Just looking at it, one's heart instantly fell into a bottomless abyss.
But if this speculation is true, then the mystery of Zhang Pingping's kidnapping that has puzzled the father and daughter will be very simple.
But in this way, all his secret plans and plots would be exposed.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiwu was shaking like a sieve.
But the matter was urgent, and Zhang Xiwu did not dare to be negligent. "I am afraid of death. Can I use the princess's four treasures of the study?"
Chu Ci nodded slightly, and Zhang Xiwu quickly took the pen and paper, took a deep breath, calmed his nervous mood, and hurriedly told him all his guesses.
The eldest prince and the fifth prince looked at the contents in their hands, their faces turned ashen in an instant, their eyes almost spitting fire, and they almost reached out to strangle the Zhang father and daughter who were kneeling on the ground.
They don't know how to judge people and are too clever for their own good. If their foolish behavior causes big trouble, they will be killed without a burial place.
Just as the eldest prince and the fifth prince were gritting their teeth, the purple-robed envoy had already responded quickly.
With just a few crisp gestures from him, the well-trained law enforcement officers in embroidered uniforms acted like lightning, taking control of the entire Zhang family at the fastest speed, leaving no corner or person untouched.
Fortunately, Zi Yi reacted quickly.
Otherwise, they might really be trapped this time.
There was no other reason. After Zhou Yan replaced all the prescriptions given by Chu Ci with fake medicines, he carefully formulated a series of vicious schemes against Zhang's father and daughter and Chu Ci and his party.
The detailed letter of this vicious plan was carefully stuffed into the bamboo tube on the foot of a carrier pigeon when the Xiuyi law enforcement officers arrested Zhou Yan. If the situation was not controlled in time, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Zhang Xiwu, upon seeing this, was instantly enraged. He rushed towards Zhou Yan like a madman, beating and kicking him. "You ungrateful, white-eyed wolf! If it weren't for our Zhang family taking you in and saving your life when you were desperate, you would be long gone. How dare you betray me? Has your conscience been eaten by a dog?"
Zhou Yan couldn't speak at this moment, but just gave Zhang Xiwu a cold and provocative look.
Zhang Xiwu was so angry that he was ready to teach Zhou Yan a lesson again.
At this moment, Chu Ci stepped forward to stop them and said in a gentle voice, "Master Zhang, calm down first. Can you tell me when Zhou Yan was rescued and brought back to the Zhang family? And under what circumstances was he rescued?"
Zhang Xiwu was slightly startled when he heard this, then calmed down and said, "When I first took over the position of head of the family, Zhou Yan's grandfather ordered a short knife and a hundred invisible needles for me to protect myself."
"However, when I carefully crafted them and sent them over, I was shocked to see the entire Zhou family lying in a pool of blood."
"Zhou Yan was hidden by his parents in the mezzanine of the bedroom."
"As for whether Zhou Yan was born unable to speak or it was due to some unforeseen event, I'm not familiar with the Zhou family and I really don't know."
"Wuwuwu——" Zhou Yan shook his head repeatedly with an excited expression, as if he was trying his best to deny Zhang Xiwu's words.
Upon hearing this, the eldest prince immediately and decisively ordered: "Give him paper and pen."
Zhou Yan took the pen and paper, but what he wrote was another version. The biggest disagreement was about the mute poison in Zhou Yan's body and Zhang Xiwu's motive for saving Zhou Yan.
It is really true that each person has his own reasons and it is difficult to tell the truth from the falsehood.
Seeing this, Chu Ci's eyes turned slightly.
He walked over to Zhou Yan and whispered, "Can I take a little blood from you? With my medical skills, I should be able to tell whether the poison in your body was injected twenty-five years ago or not long ago."
"Ah——" Zhou Yan's face showed astonishment, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but only for a moment, as if he had made some kind of decision, and he agreed to Chu Ci's request.
Upon hearing this, Chu Ci ordered without hesitation: "Jiang Li, quickly go and get this princess's medicine box."
At this moment, Chu Ci's exclusive assistant Fan Jingrui came online again and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Madam, do you want to take a blood test in front of Zhou Yan?"
Chu Ci smiled upon hearing this, glanced at Fan Jingrui, and then said firmly, "Yes, to prevent some ill-intentioned people from creating more trouble by any means necessary to confuse right and wrong and make the truth even more confusing."
"Then let's test it on the spot. I, Zhang Xiwu, am upright and have a clear conscience!" Zhang Xiwu responded with extraordinary firmness, his eyes burning, without any intention of dodging.
Chu Ci nodded slightly, and at this moment Jiang Li happened to come running over with Chu Ci's medicine box.
Chu Ci didn't say anything. He opened the medicine box, took out a small dagger, and wiped it carefully with alcohol to disinfect it.
Then, she gently pulled Zhou Yan's wrist and said softly, "It may hurt a little, just bear with it."
Zhou Yan nodded.
Chu Ci raised his knife and cut a small hole in Zhou Yan's fingertip, letting the blood slowly flow out and drip into a clean porcelain bowl.
Then, Chu Ci took out several kinds of powders that they couldn't understand from the medicine box and sprinkled them into the bowl one by one.
The originally bright red blood began to change miraculously after coming into contact with powders of various colors, some becoming turbid, and some producing tiny bubbles.
Chu Ci concentrated on observing the blood reaction, and from time to time he picked up the small wooden stick next to him and stirred it gently.
Time passed minute by minute, and everyone held their breath waiting for the result.
Finally, Chu Ci stopped and looked at the blood in the bowl, his expression gradually becoming solemn.
