Chapter 998 Hiding Too Many Secrets
Jiang Xiaoan raised his head and looked straight at him: "His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince has been poisoned for a long time, not just one or two years. I'm sure you have noticed it yourself."
"Indeed, I have been poisoned for a long time."
Yun Zhen replied, "Although I have consulted many famous doctors, no one can tell me exactly what poison I have been poisoned by. Can Master Jiang give me a diagnosis?"
Jiang Xiaoan shook his head: "My medical skills are limited, and I really can't do anything. Please forgive me, Fourth Prince."
Yun Zhen gave him a meaningful look and said, "Since Master Jiang was specially recommended by Princess Changle, he must have extraordinary medical skills.
Since even you can't identify this poison, it seems that there is little hope. But no matter what, please ask Commander Fu Dong and Master Jiang to express my gratitude to the princess on my behalf."
Fu Dong nodded and agreed: "Don't worry, Fourth Prince, we will convey your gratitude, and we will not bother you anymore."
After that, the two said goodbye and left the embassy.
Fu Dong motioned Jiang Xiaoan to follow him and led him into a quiet and deserted alley.
The surroundings were too quiet, and Fu Dong's serious expression made him feel uneasy. She chose this place on purpose, was she going to harm him again?
"Commander Fudong, I haven't offended you recently, have I?"
Fu Dong answered simply: "No."
"Then why did you bring me to this gloomy alley? I always feel like something bad is going to happen?"
Fu Dong thought this situation was a little funny, and couldn't help shaking his head and chuckling: "I brought you here just to ask you something in private."
"Is it really just one thing?"
"Jiang Xiaoan, you really don't know what poison Yun Zhen was poisoned with?"
"I see."
Jiang Xiaoan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That poison is very strange, it seems to be a product from the Western Regions."
"Western Region?"
Fu Dong frowned, "The East is a world away from the West, how could he be poisoned there? The more I get to know Yun Zhen, the more I feel that he has too many secrets."
"There are even stranger things about him."
Jiang Xiaoan continued, "I was originally planning to tell Her Royal Highness the Princess and my third cousin directly, but now that we are talking about this topic, I will tell you first. But I have to remind you to be mentally prepared and don't be scared."
Fu Dong said disdainfully: "I have brushed shoulders with death many times. What else in the world can scare me?"
"Yun Zhen has no pulse."
"What did you say?" Fu Dong stared at him in disbelief: "Jiang Xiaoan, say it again."
"I said, Yun Zhen has no pulse."
It was incredible that no pulse meant death.
Fu Dong couldn't help but ask: "Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"
Jiang Xiaoan asked back: "My medical skills are top-notch in this field. Do you think I would make a mistake in something like this?"
If that is true, then this is indeed very strange. Fu Dong then asked:
"You mean, Yun Zhen is a dead man? But that's impossible. How can a dead person talk and laugh freely and eat normally?"
"No pulse does not necessarily mean death."
Jiang Xiaoan explained: "My master said that there is a kind of evil magic in the Western Regions that can seal a person's pulse and completely control the person, turning him into a 'living dead' who obeys others' orders."
"So you're saying that Yun Zhen might be such a controlled 'living dead', and his words and actions are controlled by someone behind the scenes?"
"I don't rule out this possibility, but..."
He paused, then said, "I also heard that there is a secret technique in Ganzhou that can prevent corpses from rotting and make the corpses work for the practitioner."
"Then tell me, is Yun Zhen a human or a ghost?"
Jiang Xiaoan spread his hands and said helplessly: "I really can't say for sure, this is the first time I have encountered such a thing.
But no matter whether he is alive or dead, according to our guess, there must be someone behind the scenes. So we have to report to the princess quickly and find a way to find out the mastermind behind it before we can rest assured. "
Fu Dong thought what he said made sense and immediately took him back to the princess's mansion.
Jiang Xue and Xiao Zhan were also very surprised when they heard the news. They could not imagine that there were people in the world without a pulse.
After a moment, Xiao Zhan turned to Jiang Xue and asked, "Xiao Xue, although I don't understand martial arts, I know that people who practice martial arts can use internal force to control their breathing and meridians.
Is it possible that when Jiang Xiaoan was checking Yun Zhen's pulse just now, he used his internal force to temporarily stop his pulse?"
Jiang Xue shook her head: "I've never heard of internal force being able to stop the pulse."
Fu Dong added: "Besides, when Master Jiang was checking Yun Zhen's pulse just now, I was staring at him the whole time. If he was secretly practicing, it would definitely not have escaped my eyes."
"Since this possibility does not exist, is there any other explanation?"
Xiao Zhan asked: "Xiao An, is there any medicine in the world that can stop a person's pulse?"
Jiang Xiaoan shook his head: "Never heard of it."
"Is he really a living dead?"
Fu Dong said anxiously: "Your Highness, Prince Consort, we must find out the manipulator behind this as soon as possible, otherwise we will not be able to rest easy." Especially since Jiang Xue is pregnant, she needs to be more cautious.
Jiang Xue pondered for a long time, and after recalling the details of her time with Yun Zhen, she said:
“Fudong, send some more people to Dongxiang and make sure to get all the information about Yun Zhen in detail. Don’t miss any details.
Jiang Xiaoan, if you have time, you can go to the palace's library to look up ancient books and see if you can find records of similar situations."
"The library?"
Jiang Xiaoan was pleasantly surprised: "I'll go right away, right away."
Everyone knows that the royal library has a rich collection of books. How great would it be if we could find one or two useful medical books among them?
"Fudong, after you arrange for people to go to Dongxiang to gather information, take my token and accompany Jiang Xiaoan to the library."
"Yes, sir."
After Fu Dong and Jiang Xiaoan left, Xiao Zhan saw Jiang Xue was still in deep thought. He walked over and gently tapped her forehead, asking, "Are you still thinking about Yun Zhen?"
Jiang Xue smiled slightly: "No, I'm pregnant now, so I don't have the time to worry about those things.
I was just thinking about what to eat tonight. Yun Che, I think the sour duck soup is pretty good, do you want to ask the kitchen to prepare this?"
"Of course."
Xiao Zhan chuckled and responded: "Now you can eat whatever you want. If the kitchen in the mansion doesn't have the ingredients, I will go out and buy them for you."
He knew in his heart that she was actually worried about Yun Zhen's affairs, but since she didn't say it out loud, he didn't point it out and just continued chatting with her.
Hugging his waist, Jiang Xue said, "Yun Che, you are so considerate."
At the same time, in the east courtyard of the Envoy's Villa, Yun Zhen sat alone at the desk. Although he held a pen in his hand, he did not move for a long time.
Today, Jiang Xue specially invited Jiang Xiaoan and Fu Dong, just to find out what kind of poison she had been poisoned by.
In response to this, he calmly let Jiang Xiaoan take his pulse and gave them a big surprise - or rather a shock.
I guess at this point, she already knows the truth. But what will she do next?
Although Jiang Xue was his only hope, he couldn't trust her completely.
