Chapter 406 The Infiltration of the Seven-Colored Palace
However, at this time, from the back to the hall, there was bright red blood everywhere, and people were lying everywhere in a miserable state.
"A total of 338 people died and 100 were injured. Fortunately, it was morning today. If it was afternoon or evening, there would be more people in the pool, and by then, perhaps more people would be in trouble!" said Eunuch Gao.
"It's so scary, the meat just fell off, and the temperature in the water is terribly hot, I don't know what's going on!"
"I just stepped on one foot and got a blister, what is Xiangmanlou trying to do, are they trying to cook people? Is the shopkeeper crazy?"
"It doesn't look like boiled water to me, it looks like something else, because some people's flesh just fell off, it looks like the whole pool is filled with dissolved corpses!"
Everyone was talking at once, Xiao Yin and the city lord also came.
"What's going on?" Xiao Yin came to baby Ruoxi and asked Aunt Jin.
"Your Majesty, I don't know much about it. We were just going upstairs to have tea. The Imperial Master and Master Jing'en went to take a bath. Not long after they went in, they heard shouting from inside, and then they saw this!" said Nanny Jin.
"What's going on? Coroner, come and take a look!" The City Lord also shouted immediately.
"Uncle, go and check on Xiao Xinxin and Jing'en. They haven't come out yet." Baby Ruoxi patted the emperor's shoulder. "
Okay, uncle will go and take a look!" The emperor nodded and immediately walked into the fish pond.
"Your Majesty, it's too bloody in here..." Eunuch Gao ran over and said.
The emperor shook his head: "It doesn't matter, I'll go and take a look!"
Eunuch Gao followed the emperor into the inside.
Ci Xin was there, as was Master Jing En. They didn't take off their robes, but the straps were loose and tied randomly.
"What happened?" Xiao Yin walked over and asked Ci Xin.
"There's nothing in the water. It's just normal hot spring water. Besides, the temperature isn't that high, and there's nothing wrong with the flowers!" Ci Xin said.
"Your Majesty, it seems that these dead people were poisoned. Their skin is a little different!" The coroner came over and said.
"Why are their skins so white? Is it because of the soaking, or is there something else?" Xiao Yin asked.
"There's nothing wrong with the water in each pool, and there's nothing wrong with all the materials. And, at that time... it seems that quite a few people escaped together, and some of them didn't have any problems. This proves that it's not the water or the flowers that are the problem." Jing En said.
"Go out and take a look!" After Xiao Yin looked at the pond, he asked someone to take some water out and clean up the bodies.
The emperor personally sat in court and began to interrogate the case.
Of course, it was not only the emperor who sat in court. Our baby Ruoxi was also held by the emperor. She held the milk bottle and looked at the scene in front of her.
In the city lord's mansion, all the doctors in the city came and they helped bandage the injured.
"Xi'er, look!" Xiao Yin raised his chin.
"Yeah!" Baby Ruoxi nodded: "The problem is still with them. These people's skin is transparent, and the meridians under their skin are very clear. Moreover, the blood flow rate is obviously abnormal!"
"Little Xi'er is really smart!" Xiao Yin turned his head and whispered to little Xi'er.
Seeing the emperor and the little girl whispering, the people didn't know how they communicated, but they found it very magical.
"Is Wenxu back?" the emperor asked.
"Your Majesty, I'm here!" Wenxu ran in quickly, leaving his horse behind.
"Check them!" Xiao Yin said.
"Hmm!" Wen Xu turned around quickly, stabbed the silver needle into the wrists of those people, and then checked their pulses: "What do you usually eat?"
"We eat flowers. This is the habit of our ancestors in Wanhua City. A hundred years ago, our ancestors fled from Xiyue and had nothing to eat. They could only survive by eating flowers. Later, everyone developed a habit, and eating flowers became our three meals a day!"
"Yes, we usually survive by eating flowers, or we eat some fruits of flowers, nothing else!" "Is
there something wrong with the flowers we eat? But we eat normally, there must be something wrong with this bath!"
The people said together, the pain made their faces even paler, and they looked like ghosts.
"Close the door!" Xiao Yin said.
"Cover the windows!" Wen Xu also said.
"Oh my God, what is this?"
"Why have we become like this? We are not like this usually!"
"Yes, we are not like this at home!"
In the darkness, these injured people looked at each other. They clearly saw each other's green appearance, which was really creepy!
"If they didn't have it before, then it may have started recently. If they take a hot spring bath very diligently, then it can only be..." Baby Ruoxi looked at the shopkeeper who was kneeling beside him.
"Huh?" Little Ruoxi's eyes narrowed and his little hands immediately grabbed.
"Ahhh!" The shopkeeper was about to stand up and run away, but suddenly fell down and his whole body twitched.
"Catch him for me and interrogate him on the spot!" Xiao Yin shouted coldly.
"Your Majesty, spare my life, spare my life, I really don't know, I really don't know!" The shopkeeper cried.
Wen Xu took out the detoxification pill from the box and gave it to these people to eat.
"Maybe, it's okay for ordinary people to be poisoned, because they usually eat all kinds of grains and have mixed things in their bodies, but the injured parts are different. You are immortals, and you usually just eat flowers, wanting to become flower fairies!" Ci Xin crossed her arms and looked at those people, saying, "There is only one thing in your body. Once the poison enters your body, it will soon enter your blood, be absorbed, and travel throughout the body!"
"Ah, no, no, I don't want to cultivate immortals, I just..."
"We don't want to cultivate immortals either, it's just that we can't eat anything else. We can only eat flowers, otherwise, we will have a stomachache to death!"
These people said one after another. They looked helpless, which made the people outside curious.
"Why are you so helpless? Eating flowers is a tradition passed down from our ancestors. We also eat them, but we also eat other things!"
"We..."
"They are just controlled by someone and have to eat them!" Ci Xin looked at the group of people and said, "Seven Colors Palace, are you all disciples of the Seven Colors Palace?"
"Ah? Is it the poisonous Seven Colors Palace? We in Wanhua City are not willing to be in cahoots with the Seven Colors Palace!"
"Seven Colors Palace, when did they infiltrate?" The city lord frowned and said.
