Even if Xu Yan was a "poisoned" chess piece intentionally placed next to Eunuch Xu...
How could someone so calmly betray someone who has raised them for over a decade?!
Ning Xi'er was certain it was Xu Yan because she had witnessed Xu Yan's own skills, especially since he was in charge of Xie Zhun's daily life and tested poisons for Xie Zhun...
I will be more careful than the average person.
Moreover, the poisoning was carried out multiple times. One instance of being poisoned could be attributed to a mistake, but who else could cause Eunuch Xu to make "mistakes" every time, besides his closest confidants?!
In this era, there are so many poisons available; any one of the poisons Xie Zhun was ingested could have achieved the same effect...
The only difference is that mercury poisoning is much more severe.
Chronic mercury poisoning can cause severe migraines, dizziness, rashes, and painful subcutaneous bleeding...
He suddenly fell ill and died with blood flowing from all seven orifices.
Ning Xi'er has millions of spatial resources, but she didn't actually store mercury...
However, it's not impossible to get one.
After leaving Eunuch Xu's room, she went straight to Xu Yan's place, where he was still being held down on the ground, just as Ning Xi'er had looked before she left.
The swelling on my face showed no signs of abating.
Ning Xi'er dismissed everyone around her, and Xuan Feng and the others automatically moved to the back.
Ning Xi'er leaned closer and, in a voice only the two of them could hear, asked one last time, "Xu Yan, if I give you one last chance..."
"If I ask you to reveal who is behind this and to poison Eunuch Xu, will you cherish this last chance?"
A flicker of surprise flashed in his swollen eyes...
There was no fear.
A complex expression suddenly flashed across his face, which resembled a pig's head.
Admiration, and perhaps, a touch of regret.
Xu Yan stared intently at Ning Xi'er for a moment...
That look seemed to say, "What a pity..."
Having given her the last chance, Ning Xi'er decided not to waste any more time.
If he seizes this opportunity, Ning Xi'er will make his suffering less...
Unfortunately, he didn't care.
Ning Xi'er took out datura powder from her space. Its seeds can be made into aphrodisiacs, and the whole plant ground into powder has hallucinogenic effects.
When the spray hit Xu Yan's face, he instantly showed a dazed expression.
Ning Xier lowered her voice and asked a few questions.
Xu Yan offered no resistance and answered unconsciously.
The answer was long, and with each sentence, Ning Xi'er's heart sank a little further...
Even though she had expected it, even with the comparison report in her hand, and even knowing he was lying, Ning Xi'er's heart still sank uncontrollably...
It was him!
He not only deceived Xu Yan, causing the tragic fratricide between uncle and nephew, but also allowed Xu Yan to bring Cang Shu to kill her...
Even if he wasn't her biological father, even if she had been switched at birth, suddenly hearing this...
It seems I can feel the same heart-wrenching pain as the original owner!
Almost unconsciously, Ning Xi'er waved her sleeve and sprinkled the powder, bringing Xu Yan back to consciousness.
Although he was completely unaware of his previous actions.
Ning Xi'er said softly and slowly, "Ning Wei, he lied to you..."
Xu Yan hadn't even reacted yet, but upon hearing the name, he was already shocked.
Ning Xi'er spoke each word clearly, her voice trembling slightly, "I checked your blood and that of Eunuch Xu; you are close relatives."
“Eunuch Xu has no sons or sisters, so you can only be his nephew.”
Xu Yan suddenly exclaimed, "Impossible! You're lying to me!"
Ning Xi'er chuckled lightly, her attitude unusually serious. "You should have heard about my medical skills, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have attacked me in the first place..."
"Besides, since I'm going to kill you anyway, why would I need to lie to you before you die?"
"You're talking nonsense! I'm clearly your older brother!"
As if to convince himself, Xu Yan loudly defended himself.
Xuanfeng, Baizhi, and Gancao seemed to have heard some earth-shattering secret, and they all retreated, urging the guards to retreat even further.
Xuanfeng temporarily entrusted the scene to Baizhi and Gancao, and hurried back to report to the prince.
Ning Xi'er: "Tell me, what father in the world would be willing to send his son into a den of dragons and tigers?"
"Even if you were born to one of his concubines, Madam Chen, as a secondary wife, is still a concubine. How could he bear to leave out illegitimate sons like Ningyuan and Ning'an, and force you to risk your life?"
"You're a smart person; his reasons, and the things he said about your background, must have been fabricated flawlessly to make you believe him..."
"Unfortunately, your cleverness has backfired! You've let the genuine care around you go unappreciated, hurting your true family and mistaking a thief for your father!"
"impossible!"
Xu Yan roared, hysterical, on the verge of collapse.
