“Your Majesty, when the incense powder meets fallen fruit, it will turn into a new poison called ‘Flowers Bloom and the Moon is Full’,” Su Ruojin said calmly.
Yao Lan was completely stunned and could no longer maintain her previous calm expression.
How could Su Ruojin have known?!
My elder brother said that no more than four people in the entire Nine Provinces know about this poison.
One is the divine shaman of Bei Li, one is the emperor's elder brother, one is her, and one is the medical saint of Da Chu.
Su Ruojin is just a little better at medicine, not a medical saint, how would she know!
Could it be that a medical sage is in the Regent's Palace?
That's not right either. If the Sage of Medicine were in the Regent's Palace, he wouldn't be able to get to the palace to help Su Ruojin at this time.
Besides, I haven't seen any unfamiliar faces on duty.
Moreover, my elder brother once said that once the perfect union of flowers and the full moon is achieved, there is no cure in this world.
Even if the Sage of Medicine were here, he would at most only know about the medicine, but have no way to counteract it.
In order to create a perfect ending, Yao Lan specifically chose two completely unrelated people, so that they could not be traced back to her.
"And the poison I was afflicted with is 'Perfect Harmony'!" Su Ruojin continued, ignoring what Yao Lan was thinking.
Xiao Chenyi was stunned. He never expected that these three poisons could be connected, or even be interlocked.
If that's the case, then the other party is definitely after Su Ruojin.
"Your Highness, but the maid who poisoned Madam Wang didn't poison you, and you didn't go to the river with Miss Dong. How did you get poisoned?" Physician Li was puzzled.
If that maidservant poisoned the princess, then the princess and the young mistress should have been poisoned at the same time.
And then there's Miss Dong, now she's dead, and we don't know when she was poisoned, but judging from the princess's appearance, she doesn't seem to have been poisoned by the fruit poison.
“Blood, yes, it’s blood!” Su Muyao suddenly exclaimed.
She had been watching all of this from the sidelines, and when her older sister spoke at this point, Su Muyao suddenly had a flash of inspiration and completely understood.
The others didn't immediately realize what blood was.
“Yes, that’s right, it was blood.” Su Ruojin affirmed, “When I went to treat Madam Wang with acupuncture, my dress was accidentally stained with Madam Wang’s blood. I didn’t have time to change it before I came to examine Miss Dong. But before I could even take her pulse, Miss Dong spat out a mouthful of black blood onto my dress.”
Their blood, carrying the poison of fragrant powder and fallen fruit respectively, sprayed all over my dress, perfectly completing the image of a beautiful full moon.
"But how could they be so sure that Your Highness's dress would be contaminated with both poisons at the same time?" Wu Tidian was also puzzled.
Su Ziyang then spoke up, "The other party must have calculated that the princess is kind-hearted and would not stand by and watch someone die, especially since the young mistress of the princess is pregnant. A doctor treating a pregnant woman who is bleeding will inevitably be stained with her blood."
Miss Dong must have been acquainted with the person who instructed her, and it seems that the person deceived her. She was unaware of the poison from the fallen fruit and its harmful effects. She held the poison in her mouth and only spat it out when the princess approached, landing precisely on the princess's dress.
In this way, the perfect harmony of "flowers in full bloom and the moon shining brightly" can be achieved.
"What if the Princess Consort was very careful when treating the Young Madam Wang and didn't get any of Madam Wang's blood on her?" Xiao Chen also felt that Su Ziyang's analysis made sense, but he still had some doubts.
Su Ruojin smiled faintly and looked around at the ladies and young women present. "Aren't there still many candidates? As long as they are here, there is always a way to make it a happy ending, right, Consort Chun?"
After Su Ruojin finished speaking, she looked at Yao Lan.
As soon as Su Ruojin said this, everyone looked at Yao Lan.
The ladies and young women from prominent families felt a chill run down their spines. According to the princess, if Mrs. Wang and Miss Dong escaped this calamity today, they would most likely be the next victims.
Yao Lan had recovered from her initial shock. She really hadn't expected that Su Ruojin could guess everything.
As a result, today's plan can only end in failure, and Yaolan needs to extricate herself from the situation.
Now that the person is dead, no one can prove that she did it, so what is she afraid of?
"Your Highness, I have no grudge against you, why should I act this way? As I said before..."
"As Your Majesty said before, it was both using medicine from Bei Li and being the first time you met Madam Wang and Miss Dong at a palace banquet arranged by Your Majesty yourself, so there is no reason for you to do this, right?"
"This is too obvious and won't do Your Highness any good, will it?" Su Ruojin repeated the reasons Yao Lan had given.
“That’s right!” Yao Lan looked up at Su Ruojin defiantly.
