Chapter 2: Ghost-faced Poison Doctor
"Your Highness, it's unfair, I am innocent..." Cailian knelt on the ground and cried with tears in her eyes, looking so pitiful.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Zhan Beiheng frowned. This maid had always been with Chu Yue, how could she do such a thing.
Nan Jiao walked up to Cai Lian, squatted down, and took off the sachet she was wearing from her waist. "This is the tool she used to poison me."
Zhan Beiheng looked at Doctor Zhang.
Doctor Zhang stared at the sachet with a frown on his face. When he saw Nan Jiao throwing it to him, he quickly caught it and opened it. After checking it, he said, "These are all non-toxic flowers."
Nan Jiao smiled, "It's non-toxic. Don't you find that there's something wrong with the flowers in the room?"
Everyone looked at the table beside the bed.
There was a pot of Acacia orchid with purple flowers on it.
"That pot of flowers is non-toxic." Doctor Zhang said very confidently.
"The acacia orchid is not poisonous on its own, but the fragrance it releases at night, combined with the fragrance of some flowers in the sachet, will produce chronic toxins."
"This maid stays with the Seventh Princess in the room at night. How can she not be poisoned by the fragrance of flowers she inhales every night?" Nan Jiao said meaningfully.
"This..." Doctor Zhang's eyes widened. He didn't think in that direction at all, and he couldn't find out whether the Seventh Princess was poisoned.
Nan Jiao glanced at him and said with a smile, "You don't think it's normal. After all, you couldn't detect that the Seventh Princess was poisoned."
Doctor Zhang stared, "Then why is she so fine?"
"She was also poisoned." Nan Jiao said speechlessly. It was only because the Seventh Princess' body was damaged that she couldn't bear it and vomited blood.
Doctor Zhang: “…”
She must be talking nonsense!
"I have not harmed the princess. I am innocent." Cailian knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously. Gradually, the ground was covered with bloodstains.
Nan Jiao sneered, she looked at Zhan Beiheng, and said frankly: "If you don't believe me, you can find a poison expert to verify it."
The words fell.
She walked to the bed, took out a small bag of gold needles, and began to treat the Seventh Princess. The person who instigated Cai Lian to poison was really scheming and wanted to frame her.
Zhan Beiheng narrowed his eyes. Is this the idiot from the General's Mansion?
How does she know about poison?
"Mo Ran, send the sachet and the acacia bell orchid for inspection." He looked at the followers behind him and gave the order.
"Yes, Your Highness." Mo Ran immediately took the sachet from Doctor Zhang and took the pot of Acacia orchid away. He was very confused. Does the prince believe the princess?
"Mo Li, take her away and lock her up for interrogation." Zhan Beiheng said in a deep voice.
"Your Highness, it's unfair, I am innocent!" Cailian screamed heartbreakingly.
Mo Li quickly dragged the man away.
Doctor Zhang originally thought that Nan Jiao was just pretending to give acupuncture, but it turned out that she was holding a golden needle as thin as a hair, and each of her needles was more steady than his!
This... is outrageous!
Isn't she a fool known to everyone in the capital?
Nan Jiao performed the acupuncture with ease, and then used the golden needle to pierce the palms of all ten fingers of the Seventh Princess. The blood that came out at first was bright red.
As time passed, the blood gradually turned dark red.
"Oh my God, it's really poisonous!" Doctor Zhang was stunned and shocked. He had pricked his finger for examination before, but the blood was bright red. Who would have thought it was poisoning?
Zhan Beiheng looked at him with cold eyes.
Doctor Zhang shrank his neck in fear and said guiltily, "Your Highness, yes, it's my poor medical skills..."
"It's not entirely your fault. I don't think anyone in the entire Imperial Hospital would have discovered that the Seventh Princess was poisoned." Nan Jiao said with a half-smile.
After all, she is a ghost-faced poison doctor from China and knows more than them.
Doctor Zhang: “…”
Is he blaming her or not?
She spoke for him, but at the same time she despised the entire Tai Hospital!
Two cups of tea.
Nan Jiao pulled out the golden needles one by one and put them away, then walked towards Zhan Beiheng, "She will wake up today."
"Has the poison been cured?" Zhan Beiheng asked.
"She has been taking toxins for three months, how can it be that fast? I'm hungry now and need to eat." Nan Jiao said righteously.
What this means is that this girl can only detoxify if she eats well!
Zhan Beiheng snorted coldly. It would be better if she didn’t participate in the poisoning, otherwise he would tear her into pieces!
…
The main hall of the palace.
Nan Jiao was very satisfied looking at the sumptuous breakfast on the table. She ate it with relish, not caring about the dark and smelly face of the man beside her.
Zhan Beiheng looked at the way she ate with a look of disgust on his face.
At this time Mo Ran walked in.
"Master, I asked a poison expert to take a look. He said that the combination of these scents will indeed produce chronic toxins." Mo Ran reported truthfully.
"Go and see how Mo Li's interrogation is going." Zhan Beiheng's brows were stern, and there was a hint of murderousness in his narrow phoenix eyes, and he felt self-blame in his heart.
The poisoner was right beside him, but he had no idea, causing Chu Yue to be poisoned for three months.
"Yes." Mo Ran bowed and left quickly. Before leaving, he glanced at the princess, his mind full of question marks. How did she see that?
Nan Jiao raised her eyebrows, "Am I right?"
"How do you, a fool, know all this? Did you plan this?" Zhan Beiheng's sharp eyes were like knives, as if he wanted to cut her into pieces.
He was caught cheating with her last month. He was tricked.
Will marry her.
One is gift of marriage.
The second option is to wait until she enters the palace before dealing with it.
"If I poisoned you, why should I help you detoxify?" Nan Jiao rolled her eyes speechlessly.
"To gain the king's trust."
Nan Jiao laughed angrily: "Are you sick?"
Zhan Beiheng: “…”
At this time Mo Li walked in.
"My Lord, Cailian said that it was the princess who ordered her to poison..."
Zhan Beiheng's eyes were cold, "Do you have anything to say?"
"The prince is really smart. He didn't believe Cailian. If I catch her, she will definitely say that I was the one who ordered it in order to get revenge. And she is definitely dead now."
Nan Jiao said it with determination, but there was no panic on her fair and tender face, instead she looked relaxed.
Zhan Beiheng looked at Mo Li.
Mo Li understood and walked outside.
Nan Jiao continued to eat, filling her stomach so that she would have the strength to deal with the next thing. It was so unlucky for her to travel through time, as trouble arose as soon as she arrived.
At this time, a nanny came in, and when she saw Nan Jiao, her eyes were full of disgust.
"This old servant has seen the prince. This is the handkerchief from the wedding bed. There is no bloodstain on it. The princess is not a virgin." Nanny Fang said this with gritted teeth.
At first she thought the blood was not on the handkerchief, but then she checked the bed sheet and it was not there either.
The tea in Nan Jiao's mouth sprayed out instantly.
What's happening?
Bang——
Zhan Beiheng slapped the table with his palm, and said angrily with a sullen face: "Jiang Nanjiao, you unfaithful wicked woman, how dare you deceive this king!"
This wasn't her first time!
"I..." Nan Jiao was bewildered. Although the original owner was clinging to Prince Rui, she had always kept herself clean and had not done anything intimate with him.
Could it be that she lost her virginity before returning to the general's mansion?
Unfortunately, the original owner lost his memory before the age of sixteen!
What a loser she is!
"Someone, take the princess to the woodshed and lock her up!" Zhan Beiheng was surrounded by a gloomy and low pressure, which made people feel creepy.
