“When treating the prince consort, I poisoned his medicine with a poison called ‘Heartbreak Powder,’ which is a slow-acting poison that I developed myself.”
"To produce the poison, it would take at least three doses. The first was when the plague broke out in Chu Family Village. The second was when the Prince Consort collapsed after passing the imperial examination and came to my clinic. I took the opportunity to poison him while treating him. The third was tonight during the two of you sharing a cup of wine. It would be very difficult to poison the Princess's residence. Fortunately, a lot happened tonight, giving me many opportunities."
“Besides poisoning, I also added a catalyst to the well in the manor two months ago at the Hundred Flowers Banquet.”

"Therefore, the poison in both of their bodies has penetrated deep into their bone marrow!"
