Chapter 1669: Strange Poison
She broke out in a cold sweat.
If this is the case, then who among the people in Shazhouwei and Duweifu can be trusted?
However, just as she was daydreaming, Wang Baizhi said, "Your Highness, please don't misunderstand."
"Um?"
Nan Yan looked up at him.
Wang Baizhi said, "It is true that no poison can be detected on the arrow. Neither Lord Yang nor the doctors in the Commandant's Mansion lied to the Emperor and the Empress."
Zhu Feng asked, "What's going on?"
Wang Baizhi said, "Because I discovered that this poison dissolves upon contact with blood."
"Dissolves on sight of blood?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Feng's brows furrowed.
Wang Baizhi said, "Indeed, the poison on the tip of the arrow dissolved into the snow as soon as it came into contact with blood after hitting Lord Ye. By the time the doctor pulled the arrow out, the poison had already dissolved completely, so it couldn't be detected."
Nan Yan looked down again and suddenly understood something.
"So what you just tested was the area without blood."
"good."
Wang Baizhi said: “An arrow like Lord Ye’s will penetrate his clothes in an instant, so some of the things on it will inevitably stain his clothes, and the places where the blood did not stain them will be left with these things.”
“…”
"It's just that doctors usually test for toxicity on weapons, wounds, and blood, and rarely on clothing."
“…”
"I have only felt that, having examined Lord Ye these past few days, he has not responded to any medication. Although his heart meridians have been damaged, he is not unconscious or completely without consciousness. Therefore, I suspect he has been poisoned. However, since neither the arrow nor the medicine contained poison, I am at a loss as to what to do."
“…”
"And today, seeing this piece of cloth, I just wanted to give it a try, hoping for a lucky break."
“…”
"I didn't expect that—"
Speaking of this, he also broke out in a cold sweat.
You know, this method is almost foolproof.
If the doctor had cut open Ye Zheng's clothes and all the scraps of cloth were taken away; or if Ran Xiaoyu had not asked for a thorough cleaning; or if he was not present when she was cleaning and had simply thrown away the scraps of cloth, there would be no way to discover the fact that Ye Zheng was poisoned!
This is simply like divine help.
Moreover, Nan Yan immediately thought of the bottle of detoxification pill that Lord Heyi had given her before leaving the capital. She was a little depressed before, thinking that it was useless, but now that it was confirmed that Ye Zheng was poisoned, maybe that thing could really be of some use.
Thinking of this, Nan Yan suddenly became excited.
She almost wanted to tell Zhu Feng immediately that she would go and give Ye Zheng the medicine right away, but when she looked up, she saw Zhu Feng frowning and looking very solemn.
Of course, Ye Zheng’s poisoning was originally a headache for him, but Nan Yan looked at his frowning face, as if there were other emotions flowing in his heart.
He said in a deep voice: "What kind of poison is he poisoned with? Can it be cured?"
Wang Baizhi glanced at him carefully and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me."
"Um?"
"This poison is somewhat like, like—"
He hesitated, and Nan Yan, who was standing beside him, frowned as she listened.
What happened?
Zhu Feng's eyes were deep and sinister, even carrying a hint of bloodthirsty aura that hadn't been seen in a long time. He slowly said, "Just tell me what you have to say. There are no outsiders here."
