Chapter 92 Drug Testing
Qin Jinzhi sat in the carriage, flipping through the classic texts in her hands.
Liu Yiyi sat next to her, looking up medical books.
At that moment, Cui Ziyu walked into the carriage.
"Greetings, Princess!"
Cui Ziyu's voice was a little weak, but she still knelt down and kowtowed very respectfully.
Qin Jinzhi turned the pages of her book without looking up. "Judging from Lord Cui's weak voice, is it a flare-up of the cold poison?"
That day, after Cui Ziyu left the house where Yao Miaoyin was imprisoned, she took the Azure Poison in the car.
This is his punishment.
Cui Ziyu lowered her head and said meekly, "Thank you for your concern, Princess. I have already taken the medicine."
The Cui family has a rich heritage, possessing various ancient books, including the long-lost King of Poisons, the Azure Poison, as well as a life-saving pill that can suppress any toxin.
The reason Qin Jinzhi and Yao Miaoyin didn't die was because Cui Ziyu gave them life-saving pills.
Later, Qin Jinzhi met Liu Yiyi. After Liu Yiyi did some research on the Life-Saving Pill, she made improvements to it, which saved her from a lot of pain during attacks.
Qin Jinzhi tapped the table, and Yun Que handed her a cup of tea.
Cui Ziyu was puzzled, but still held the tea in her hand.
"Drink it."
Choi Tzu-yu was taken aback, but still drank the tea.
The best course of action when dealing with Qin Jinzhi is to obey.
Almost the instant she drank it, Choi Tzu-yu's pupils dilated!
A feeling of my intestines being ripped open and millions of ants gnawing at my heart veins suddenly surged up.
Blood began to flow from his seven orifices, and his eyes turned bloodshot.
The veins on his neck bulged.
The pain was so intense that they couldn't even make a sound!
He then collapsed in the car, convulsing in pain.
But the other passengers on the bus didn't react much.
Liu Yiyi walked over, placed her hand on his pulse, and frowned.
He then shook his head, "None of these herbs are right. They fight against the Azure Poison and even lost. I'll go back and change the formula."
Liu Yiyi and Qin Jinzhi were never the type to sit idly by and wait for their fate.
For the past three years, Liu Yiyi has been researching an antidote for the Azure Poison.
After all, the secret of the Orchid Grass has been lost for a long time. If it really can't be found, is she supposed to just watch Qin Jinzhi die?
The formula had just made some progress a few days ago.
But this medicine needs to be tested by people.
Only those who have been poisoned by the Azure Sky Poison can try it.
Moreover, the process of testing the medicine is extremely dangerous; if anything goes wrong, it could trigger a cold poisoning attack.
Qin Jinzhi absolutely cannot be allowed to get into trouble.
The remaining two are Yao Miaoyin and Yun Que.
Yao Miaoyin's body was so weak that she wouldn't have survived if she hadn't been treated so preciously, let alone tested for poison.
Yun Que was willing, but Qin Jinzhi was not.
The most important thing is that Qin Jinzhi's poisoning by the Azure Sky must not be exposed.
Once exposed, the Zhenbei Army will inevitably cause unrest.
These are turbulent times, and Qin Jinzhi cannot allow anything to disrupt her plans.
But when he returned to Beijing and met Cui Ziyu, wasn't this the perfect candidate?
The person in the world who is most afraid of others knowing that Qin Jinzhi has been poisoned is none other than this Lord Cui!
Once Qin Jinzhi's poisoning is exposed, the Cui family will surely suffer a great calamity.
He was willing to be at Qin Jinzhi's beck and call for two reasons: first, for Yao Miaoyin's sake, and second, to protect the Cui family through his dealings with Qin Jinzhi.
Liu Yiyi then stuffed another pill into Cui Ziyu's mouth.
After about half an incense stick's time, Cui Ziyu's painful symptoms finally disappeared, but her face was as pale as a ghost.
After scribbling and making notes on the paper, Liu Yiyi said, "Alright, I have a general understanding of the drug's effects this time. What should we do with this person?"
Qin Jinzhi then put down the military book in her hand. "From now on, the fifteenth of every month will be your day for testing medicine. Lord Cui, you must be strong and stay alive, or your Ayin will be buried with you."
After saying that, she looked at the lark and said, "Throw him down."
The carriage stopped at the back gate of the Cui residence, and Yun Que simply threw the person out the door.
When Qin Jinzhi returned to the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, she did not go back to her room to rest.
She went up to the roof and lay down on it.
The moon is very big and very round.
But without the company of stars, it seemed somewhat lonely.
Just then, the four of them flew onto the roof together.
Each person was carrying a food box.
Lark even carried a square table.
Just as the four of them were neatly arranging the food from the food boxes on the table.
A ladder suddenly appeared at the edge of the roof.
Liu Yiyi climbed up, covered in sweat.
She pointed at the four of them and said, "You're so disloyal!!! All four of you can fly! Couldn't you take me with you!"
Those evil rich people!
Why is the roof so high?!
She gets a phobia of heights even when climbing a ladder!
Yun Jin said with a grin, "If you keep talking, you won't get any roast goose later!"
Liu Yiyi scoffed. Was she really that easy to threaten?
If she doesn't want to talk, she doesn't have to! It's not like she'll lose anything!
Yunshan and Yunge couldn't stand it anymore and pulled her up.
Yun Jin held up a delicate little plate and said, "Princess, these are honey fruits that Yun Ge spent the whole afternoon making. Please try them."
Qin Jinzhi reached out, took one, and put it in her mouth.
Yes, it's good to have a sense of taste.
She hadn't been able to clearly taste anything for a long time.
The recipe for honey fruit was obtained by Yun Ge from an old master craftsman, specifically to cheer up Qin Jinzhi when she was a child.
The process of making it is very complicated. When Qin Jinzhi was a child, she would make this whenever she was unhappy.
In fact, she hadn't done this for many years.
Liu Yiyi lay down next to Qin Jinzhi, just like she had done.
The four of them, including Yun Que, sat quietly to the side.
No one spoke.
After a long while, Liu Yiyi finally spoke up: "The old prince is a very wise man, how come he has taken in such good-natured adopted sons?"
Qin Jinzhi remained expressionless and calmly said, "Putting everything else aside, they do have the ability to lead troops into battle."
Liu Yiyi still couldn't understand, "There are many capable people, but keeping these few around is like raising a tiger to cause trouble. Sure enough, as people get older, they are all burdened by family ties."
Qin Jinzhi smiled and said, "Hearing you say that, my grandfather seems to have become a kind and compassionate old man."
Liu Yiyi raised an eyebrow. "Of course, look at how much he spoils his adopted sons."
The thought of Qin Jinzhi being angered after suppressing the poison and not eating anything all day made her realize that if this triggered a relapse of the cold poison, she would definitely throw some poison powder at each of them.
Qin Jinzhi's life was saved by her through great difficulty!
She'll fight anyone who gets hurt!
Qin Jinzhi was in a good mood after hearing Liu Yiyi's words.
“If he truly cared for these adopted sons, he wouldn’t have kept Xue Huaiyi confined in the Prince’s mansion. After all, he is the most capable of the four.”
Liu Yiyi sat up. "Why? Shouldn't the capable ones be the ones fighting on the battlefield? That way, we'll have a better chance of winning!"
"Because the Zhenbei Army cannot be in disarray, but Xue Huaiyi has the ability to create chaos!"
