Chapter 62: Finally, the snake was alerted
"Miss Su, may I ask what kind of poison the master has been poisoned with?" Ruofeng dared to ask carefully only after seeing Su Yue finally finish her work with a sullen face.
"It's arsenic. Fortunately the poisoning was rare. It just happened to trigger an old illness, causing him to fall into a coma." Su Yue sat by the bed, looking at Shangguan Nanxing's pale and bloodless face, feeling a little scared. If he continued to take the poison for a few more days, even a god in the world would not be able to save him.
"It's impossible. If it's arsenic poison, we would have known it with a silver needle. And the master's food is fed with silver needles every day. How could it be possible?" Ruo Feng was shocked. He had thought of many strange poisons, but he didn't expect it to be the common arsenic.
Su Yue also came back to his senses from his worry and stared at Shangguan Nanxing in silence for a long time. After all, the last time he took his pulse was only a few days ago, and at that time, he did not show any signs of poisoning.
"According to what you said, there are only two situations:
1. Arsenic has a feature that other poisons do not have, which is that its toxicity can accumulate in the body. The person who poisoned it was very cautious and probably only gave a small dose every day, so small that it could not be detected by a silver needle.
2. Brother Nanxing poisoned himself on purpose! ”
Thinking about the time she spent with Brother Nanxing, although the time was not long, the feeling she had was really very different from that in her previous life. She felt that the second situation was not impossible.
If the poisoning was really intentional, then what was Brother Nanxing planning?
She seemed to be increasingly unable to understand the man in front of her. After her rebirth, there seemed to be so many changes, so many that Su Yue felt powerless and out of control.
Ruofeng followed Su Yue's gaze and looked at his master without saying anything. What the Second Miss Su said made sense, but as a servant, how could he randomly guess his master's thoughts?
"Boss, we're back." The voice of Manager Zhang came from outside the door. Su Yue then sorted out his thoughts and walked out.
"Manager Zhang, please ask someone to get some azurite for this young man, and then follow me to the side hall." Su Yue pointed at Ruofeng in the room and instructed Manager Zhang.
Then he turned around and shouted at Ruofeng: "Wait for me, I have something to deal with."
When the shopkeeper Zhang heard that they wanted to take Shi Qing, he looked at the young man lying on the bed behind Su Yue and thought that the young man must have been poisoned by arsenic.
I didn't expect that the little girl in front of me, who is only thirteen or fourteen years old, actually knows medical skills. I used to think that this little girl was probably acting on a whim, but now it seems that I was wrong.
Shopkeeper Zhang just muttered to himself and didn't think about it anymore. He followed Su Yue to the side hall.
"Shopkeeper Zhang, how is the purchase of Isatis root going?" Su Yue came to the side hall and sat down directly, looking at Shopkeeper Zhang who was following behind her and asked directly.
"To return to the boss, this new isatis root will be on the market in about two months. At present, all the pharmacies are very willing to sell their stocks after hearing that our pharmacy is purchasing a large amount of it.
Some pharmacies even come to us directly and don’t even ask for a deposit, and if we buy everything, they can even give us a 20% discount. ”
Shopkeeper Zhang really couldn't understand why the little girl in front of him wanted to hoard common and worthless medicinal herbs like Isatis root, but since she didn't want to tell him, he didn't ask any more questions.
"Very good, since they want to sell, then buy them all. Don't worry about the money. If it's not enough, just ask me for more." After hearing this, Su Yue felt relieved. It seemed that no one really realized the importance of this Isatis root.
"But, Boss, if we really buy them all, our warehouse may not be big enough."
Shopkeeper Zhang thought that his small pharmacy had more than a thousand kilograms of Isatis root in stock. If all the large and small pharmacies in the imperial city bought it, his small warehouse would definitely not be enough.
"I haven't thought about this. How about this, can you go out and find a warehouse to buy it in the next two days? The bigger the better." Su Yue thought for a moment, then told Manager Zhang to find a warehouse.
Shopkeeper Zhang was stunned. This was the first time he had seen a warehouse specifically for storing Isatis root. However, seeing that Su Yue looked serious and didn't seem to be joking, he nodded and agreed.
This is probably what it means to be rich and willful.
After giving some instructions on some unimportant matters, Manager Zhang left the side hall.
When Su Yue returned to Shangguan Nanxing's room, she found out that Shangguan Nanxing had woken up a cup of tea ago. He asked Xiaohe to inform her and then left with Ruofeng.
When Su Yue heard Shangguan Nanxing leaving, a hint of disappointment flashed across her face. He didn't even say goodbye before leaving. Didn't he really want to see her?
She walked to the bed where he had slept before. His warmth seemed to still be on it. The corners of Su Yue's mouth curved up unconsciously. Finally, she seemed to have thought of something and became dejected.
There would be no harm in keeping away from someone as hateful as her.
"Xiao He, let's go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion." Su Yue silently smoothed out the wrinkles on the bed where Shangguan Nanxing had just lay down. It was hard to tell whether her tone was one of loss or sadness.
At this time, in the Third Prince’s Mansion.
The news that the Third Prince had been poisoned and fainted spread throughout the Third Prince's Mansion, and the servants in the mansion were now on pins and needles.
The servants in charge of food were made by Butler Wang to kneel neatly in front of the Third Prince's bedroom. They were so frightened that they dared not even breathe.
Shangguan Nanxing sat at the sandalwood table in the dormitory, holding a fine bone china teacup in his hand, his peach blossom eyes now filled with deep thought.
He knew that the food was poisonous. After all, he had been poisoned in his previous life and even died so early because of poisoning.
In this life, he only ate a small amount at each meal and deliberately prolonged the time it took for the poison to take effect. He thought that the person who poisoned him would see him eating poisoned food every day and would definitely poison his food every day.
In this way, as long as the person who poisoned me was still attacking, he would definitely reveal clues and be caught by me. However, I didn't expect that even though I didn't eat much every day, the poison would take effect so quickly.
"Master, Miss Su said that your poisoning was only mild and you fainted because the poison triggered an old illness." Ruofeng looked at Shangguan Nanxing and said in a low voice.
Thinking of Su Yue rushing towards him with concern on her face before he fainted, Shangguan Nanxing felt a warm feeling in his heart. It seemed that he was not without weight in Yue'er's heart.
"I got it. Tell the servants outside that I was poisoned by arsenic. From now on, we will search everyone's residence." Shangguan Nanxing put down the teacup, looking thoughtful.
"Yes." Ruofeng took the order and went out.
Shangguan Nanxing walked out of the room and looked at the servant kneeling outside, a trace of doubt flashed through his mind.
Although the probability of the person who poisoned the people is not high among this group of people, there is a saying that the most dangerous place is the safest. He dare not say that all these people are innocent.
"Go down and receive your punishment." Shangguan Nanxing's deep eyes swept across the crowd. Everyone had a look of fear on their face, and it didn't seem fake.
The person who poisoned the food was so covert that even if Feng went to search, he wouldn't find anything.
We have alerted the enemy this time, and it will be much more difficult to catch him next time.
