"Are they crazy?"
The Celestial Master incident had finally calmed down for hundreds of years, and now they are doing this in an attempt to reignite those events!
Natural disasters are already causing immense suffering for the people; adding this incident is simply an attempt to muddy the waters.
King Cheng vaguely guessed the purpose of the person behind this, and his heart was filled with chills.
Looking at King Cheng's expression, Doctor Yuan hesitated for a moment before speaking:
"Your Highness, I studied the symptoms of the Seven Deadly Soul-Devouring Powder today and found some similarities to the poison you suffered from years ago..."
King Cheng's pupils contracted sharply: "What does Mr. Yuan mean?"
"The person who poisoned you probably borrowed some of the toxicity from the Seven Deadly Soul-Devouring Powder. I asked Miss Hua privately, and she said that one of the most important poisons in the Seven Deadly Soul-Devouring Powder is unique to the Wuyi people."
"It is said that the poison is called Blood-Devouring Vine, which only grows in a mysterious deep mountain, and very few people know about it! The reason why Seven Deadly Soul-Devouring Powder has disappeared is precisely because this Blood-Devouring Vine cannot be found."
"I suspect that the poison Your Highness suffered was because the person who made the poison couldn't find the Blood-Eating Vine, so they had to use Blood-Dried Grass instead, thus creating a new poison!"
He guessed that the person who made the poison must have been well-versed in the recipe of the Seven Deadly Soul-Devouring Powder, which was why they were able to create a simplified version of the poison.
Blood-dried grass is also a rare and potent poison, although its toxicity is slightly less than that of the blood-devouring vine.
However, after being poisoned by this poison, a person will gradually wither away. Most doctors will only think it is due to insufficient qi and blood and will not notice anything unusual.
If King Cheng hadn't encountered the skilled physician Yuan, he probably wouldn't have known he was poisoned until his death.
After listening to Doctor Yuan's words, King Cheng was unable to utter a sound for a long time.
Doctor Yuan did not speak again.
Until King Cheng hoarsely said:
"Mr. Yuan said that the poison hidden in the teeth of the assassin who tried to kill Madam Tang was partially the same as the poison I was poisoned with..."
And then there was that 'presumptuous' token. Considering everything that had happened recently, King Cheng gritted his teeth even more.
"So, all of these things are behind the same person..."
Others might not know, but as a member of the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he did know a little about the inside story.
The poisoning of the Celestial Master back then was closely related to their royal family. He had seen some of the contents in the royal family's secret records and knew that their royal family should have records of the Seven Deadly Soul-Devouring Powder.
Unfortunately, he never had the chance to see those records about him as an unfavored prince, so he didn't know much about him.
King Cheng wondered which of his elder brothers was most likely to betray him, but he was never sure.
His second brother must have been kept in the dark all along, unaware that he was being used as a pawn.
And he himself was nothing more than a pitiful wretch sacrificed under imperial power.
Doctor Yuan kept his head down, not daring to look at King Cheng's face, because the matter involved was simply too shocking.
If the people of the world were to learn the truth about how the Celestial Master was poisoned back then, the prestige of the Great Zhou royal family, which had lasted for a thousand years, would probably be destroyed in an instant!
It's unclear what the person behind this is trying to achieve.
The impact on King Cheng here due to the news brought back by Doctor Yuan will not be discussed for the time being.
Sun Ding, having received Tang Jian's instructions, took the envelope and visiting card Tang Jian had given him and went to the villa where Hua Nanxing was temporarily staying.
When he arrived at the place, he saw a group of people coming out of it.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Manager Chen from Beijing, who had been standing next to Hua Nanxing during the daytime medical elites gathering!
The maid who escorted Manager Chen out was the one who always accompanied Hua Nanxing.
