Chapter 1668 Poisoned!
He came here suddenly today. Is there any progress on Ye Zheng's side?
Zhu Feng immediately said, "Let him in."
Xiao Shunzi ran out in a hurry, and soon he saw Wang Baizhi hurriedly walking in from outside. She looked a little solemn, and seemed to be holding something in her hand. When she saw Nan Yan was there, she immediately kowtowed to them.
"Your humble servant greets His Majesty, and Your Majesty the Imperial Concubine."
The voice was also breathless.
It seems like he ran all the way here.
Nan Yan immediately felt something was wrong and glanced at Zhu Feng. Zhu Feng naturally felt something as well, but as the emperor, he had to remain calm.
He just raised his hand and said, "Stand up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
As soon as Wang Baizhi stood up, Nan Yan couldn't wait to ask, "Doctor Wang, what brings you here?"
At this moment, Wang Baizhi's panic seemed to be no longer concealed. He raised his head and said to Zhu Feng and Nan Yan, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have discovered that Lord Ye—"
Having said this, he suddenly paused.
He looked back at the door.
After Xiao Shunzi brought him in, he retreated and closed the door, but Wang Baizhi still seemed a little worried.
Zhu Feng said: "You can speak without worry."
“…”
"Not everyone can come and eavesdrop here."
"yes."
It seemed that the emperor's firm and somewhat overbearing words gave him some reason to feel at ease. Wang Baizhi took a deep breath and then said, "Your Majesty, I have discovered that the reason why Lord Ye has been in a coma for so long is not only because of damaged heart meridians, he, he has been poisoned!"
"What!?"
Nan Yan had already walked back to a chair and sat down, but when she heard these words, she was so shocked that she almost jumped up again.
Zhu Feng's expression also changed.
"What did you say?"
"Master Ye has been poisoned!"
“How could it be?!”
Nan Yan couldn't believe her ears.
She remembered clearly that as soon as they arrived at the Duwei Mansion of Shazhou Wei, they came to visit Ye Zheng, and also tested the medicine he took and the crossbow arrow that hit him, and there was no sign of poison.
How could this happen? Poisoned?
Zhu Feng's face darkened and he immediately clenched his hands on the table.
Although he could remain calm in other matters, when it came to Ye Zheng, especially when it came to his life and death, there was no way he could remain completely calm and stay out of it.
He said in a deep voice: "What's going on? Tell me clearly!"
"yes!"
Wang Baizhi must have been running all the way here, and was still a little breathless. She took a deep breath and said, "Just now, Miss Xiaoyu felt that Lord Ye's room was not clean enough, so she did a thorough cleaning inside. Of course, I had to accompany her. As a result, Miss Xiaoyu lifted the entire mattress and cleaned under the bed, and found a piece of rag at the foot of the bed."
Nan Yan said: "That's it——"
Wang Baizhi raised her hands: "This is it."
As soon as he came in, I saw that he seemed to have something in his hand. Only then did I see clearly that it was a piece of cloth.
Zhu Feng asked, "Who dropped this?"
Wang Baizhi said, "I went to ask them about it, and later a little girl remembered that on the day Lord Ye was injured, they carried him back. In order to remove the arrow, the doctor couldn't disturb the wound, so he used scissors to cut open his clothes at the chest."
"Is this the fragment of his garment?"
"Yes." Wang Baizhi nodded and said, "This should be a piece of cloth that accidentally dropped to the foot of the bed after the doctor cut open his clothes."
"So, what did you find?"
Wang Baizhi put the medicine box she brought with her on the small table beside her, opened it, took out a silver needle from it, and looked around.
Nan Yan immediately asked, "What do you want?"
"Your Majesty, I would like to ask for a glass of water."
"You wait."
As soon as Wang Baizhi came in, she was very cautious. She even looked outside the door to see if there was anyone eavesdropping before she spoke. It was obvious that she didn't want anyone to know about this, so Nan Yan didn't ask anyone to come in to serve her.
He walked over, poured a glass of water himself and placed it in front of him.
"Thank you, my lady."
Wang Baizhi dipped the silver needle in the water, put a little water on it, and then spread out the cloth.
Only then did Nan Yan see clearly that the piece of cloth was white, but there were brown-red marks on some places. It must have been stained with blood, and the color had changed over time.
Of course, there are also places that are not stained with blood.
Wang Baizhi took the silver needle and inserted it into the cloth that was not stained with blood. She paused for a moment, then carefully pulled the needle out.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please look."
Zhu Feng also stood up, walked out from behind the table, and went over with Nan Yan to take a look.
Suddenly, both of them stopped breathing.
The silver needle actually turned black!
Nan Yan's voice was a little hoarse, and she said: "This is——"
Wang Baizhi gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice, "Poison."
“…”
"Master Ye has been poisoned!"
Although he had said it before, and this time, he would prove it with facts, and repeated it again, Nan Yan's mind became even more confused, as if she was in a torrent of chaos and was somewhat unstable.
She subconsciously looked up at Zhu Feng.
But Zhu Feng's brows were also furrowed.
Obviously, he also thought about how they had tested everything when they first arrived at Shazhouwei, and that Wang Baizhi and Ran Xiaoyu had been taking care of Ye Zheng closely these days, so why was he still poisoned?
And, I just discovered it now.
Zhu Feng took a deep breath, calmed himself down a bit, then walked back to the table and sat down, saying, "What's going on? Tell me clearly!"
“…”
"When was this poison administered?"
“…”
"What kind of poison is it?"
“…”
"What effect will it have on him?"
“…”
"When will he wake up?"
Wang Baizhi walked to the table and said with her head lowered, "Your Majesty, Lord Ye was poisoned when he was shot by an arrow, and the poison was on the arrow. This piece of cloth is probably from the place where Lord Ye's chest was grazed by the arrow, so some of the substance on the arrow was left on this piece of cloth."
The more Nan Yan listened, the tighter her brows furrowed.
She asked, "Then why did they say before that no poison was detected on the arrow?"
“…”
"Could it be——"
Her heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that someone in the Duwei Mansion of Shazhou Wei lied to them?
Was it Yang Dai, or the doctors here? Or were they all trying to cover up the fact that Ye Zheng was poisoned?
They didn't want Ye Zheng to wake up.
These messy thoughts were like a tangled mess, entangled Nan Yan's heart all of a sudden.
She broke out in a cold sweat.
If this is the case, then who among the people in Shazhouwei and Duweifu can be trusted?
