I discovered that the venom of these ticks causes both pain and itching. If not treated promptly, the wounds will leave behind numerous small holes in the skin, but they are not fatal.
When the Soul-Slaying Sand encounters the ticks in Saki Ken's secret passage, it reacts to form a new toxin, which is the very toxin that Tokugi Yasuhito was poisoned with.
Xiao Yanchu understood. "So someone mixed the Soul-Slaying Sand with ticks and poisoned Deyi Kangren?"
Could it be that Kenjiro Saki poisoned Yasuhito Tokuyoshi?
As the head of the pharmacy, Saki Kenji had plenty of opportunities to poison Tokuyoshi Yasuhito.
As far as he knew, Saki Ken was a confidant of Tokuyoshi Yasuhito, and he had always taken care of Tokuyoshi Yasuhito's health, so he had no reason to take this step.
If they really wanted to poison someone, why wait until now?
But if it were someone else, who could easily get the ticks from Saki Ken's secret passage?
"No, the mixture of ticks and poison cannot be colorless and odorless. It must have been a coincidence that Deyi Kangren was poisoned by this."
It must have been that Tokuyoshi Yasuhito had been poisoned by the Soul-Losing Sand. One day, after Saki Ken went to the secret passage, he was urgently summoned to the mansion by Tokuyoshi Yasuhito. Before he could change his clothes, he brought the ticks from the secret passage to the shogunate.
The tick bit De Yikangren, and the venom it carried combined with the Soul-Sinking Sand within De Yikangren's body, causing him to be poisoned by this strange toxin.
Xiao Yanchu was stunned. He never expected that the poison that Deyi Kangren had been poisoned would be for this reason.
Sasaki Ken used live people for experiments with the tacit approval of Tokugi Yasuhito. He raised these poisonous ticks in the secret passage and was bitten by the ticks, resulting in poisoning.
As expected, he deserved what he got.
As a result, it is indeed very difficult to find out the real cause of Deyi Kangren's poisoning.
"Ah Jin, you've made the antidote for this poison."
Xiao Yanchu didn't believe that Su Ruojin had locked herself up for a day and a night just to research how to make this poison.
Su Ruojin then took out a white bottle from her bosom. "Knowing the cause of his illness, the poison isn't difficult to cure. If he takes this medicine for seven consecutive days, the poison will..."
"Who?!" Xiao Yanchu's expression suddenly changed, and he pulled open the door, only to see Li Zi standing outside.
Li Zi was startled when Xiao Yanchu suddenly opened the door. She stammered, "Your Highness... Your Highness, someone from the Imperial Household Department has come and said that the Crown Prince is in trouble. They request that the Princess Consort go to the Imperial Household Department."
Has something happened to Deyi Yongcheng?
This surprised Su Ruojin and Xiao Yanchu.
These past few days, Su Ruojin had been reading Deyi Yongcheng's past daily records and roughly knew his whereabouts. How come he got into trouble before she could even take action?
"What happened to the young master?" Su Ruojin asked as she came out.
Riko shook her head. "The shogunate didn't say anything, they just told the princess to go there now."
Su Ruojin frowned, put down the medicine bottle in her hand, and said, "Let's go take a look."
When Su Ruojin and Xiao Yanchu were led to Deyi Yongcheng's room, Su Ruojin unexpectedly saw a familiar face.
To be precise, someone I've met once.
Ruojun from the small, unlicensed pharmacy who diagnosed Grandpa Riko back then.
However, today he was kneeling behind a middle-aged man, and the two looked somewhat alike, so the middle-aged man must be his father.
Deyi Kangren, sitting in a wheelchair, also came into the room. Tsukimi Nami was crying so hard that she couldn't sit still and leaned on her maid.
Masako Izumi watched with a tense expression as the middle-aged man examined Yusei Tokugi.
Upon seeing Su Ruojin and the others arrive, Izumi Masako quickly got up to welcome them in.
