Chapter 589 Chronic Poison
“No way, could it be that all of this was directed and acted by Master YLL? If that’s the case, then her scheming is too terrifying!”
“First, she drugged Tessa, then she stabilized her condition on the spot. She was so calm from the start. Most importantly, she brought those silver needles with her when she came to the banquet. This is too unreasonable for a normal person.”
“Previously, she even deliberately exchanged glasses with Feng Jianing. At that time, did she already know that there was something in the wine? Or was the entire bottle filled with something? Was she just pretending to be mysterious?”
“She knows how to mix perfume and also knows ancient Chinese medicine. It shouldn’t be difficult to drug someone with laxatives, right? I studied medicine in university and have dabbled in some Chinese medicine knowledge in the past. I know that the medicinal herbs used in Chinese medicine are very broad. There are dozens of prescriptions that can cause people to develop diarrhea.”
“So that’s how it is! No wonder we all forgave Feng Jianing at the start, but she refused to forgive her. It was all to force Miss Tessa to be a peacemaker and drink with them. Only then could Miss Tessa fall for it and use her strange medical skills to clear her suspicion. Oh my god, this shrewdness is simply too deep. I really don’t dare to imagine that YLL is actually such a person.”
The surrounding guests had all sorts of imaginations as they saw that Feng Qing was still washing her hands and not saying anything. Many of them even said their thoughts.
Feng Qing finally finished washing her hands after using up a bottle of hand wash. Although Xie Jiuhan still felt that it was not clean enough, he could only think of this now. When he returned at night, he would use the ultraviolet light to kill the bacterias.
“Brother Xing Yue, I suggest finding someone on the spot to test the wine on the tray,” Feng Qing said as she wiped her red hands with a clean tissue.
Upon hearing her words, Xing Yue recalled and hurriedly instructed the guards in the Imperial Palace to start moving. The bottle of red wine had already been sent to the Presidential Manor. Fortunately, there was still some wine in the wine glass they used back then. It was enough to collect the wine and do a test.
Feng Qing threw the tissue on the dining table and looked at Feng Jianing indifferently. Then, she looked at Xing Yue and said, “Also, I propose to perform a gastrointestinal examination on Feng Jianing immediately. We’ll know what it is after a check.”
Feng Jianing: “!!!”
“No, I don’t want to do any gastroscopy. I didn’t order him to put something in the wine. What right do you have to check on me? This is unfair!” Feng Jianing immediately shouted.
However, Xing Yue didn’t listen to her. He directly asked the imperial guards to arrest Feng Jianing. It didn’t matter if she did it or not.
Feng Jianing looked at Imperial Concubine Anna and shouted for help, “Your Highness, Your Highness, you’re the fairest. Please help me. Feng Qing was the one who instigated it. Why should they check me? If they want to check, they should check Feng Qing. Your Highness, please let them let me go on account of my poor health!”
Imperial Concubine Anna raised her eyebrows. “Shut up! If you didn’t come to the banquet, such a crappy thing wouldn’t have happened today. A good banquet was ruined by you. It’s like a bad apple who spoiled the whole bunch. If you really have a clear conscience, then obediently let someone check. Otherwise, the more you resist, the more it means that there’s something wrong with you.”
Feng Jianing turned to look at Xing Yue and shouted when she saw that the Imperial Concubine wasn’t helping her, “Tessa is your younger sister. She was drugged by Feng Qing and fell ill. Why didn’t you go and arrest her? Why did you have to do this to me? You, you’re abusing your authority. You clearly like Feng Qing. For her, this little slut, you don’t even want your younger sister. If you do this, won’t you let down the Presidential Manor who raised you? Won’t you let Tessa down for calling you brother for so many years?”
Xing Yue frowned and wanted to retort, but at this moment, a guard walked over and reported, “Report Sir, after testing the two glasses on the two trays, we found that the red wine on one of the trays had indeed been drugged. Moreover, it’s a very rare chemical. This thing reacts with a certain chemical in the red wine and produces a fatal poison component that can poison the liver. However, this ingredient is a chronic poison and will only appear within two to three days after consumption.”
The moment that was said, the crowd was shocked. The guests were inexplicably shocked. It turned out that someone really dared to poison and murder someone at the banquet hosted by the Imperial Concubine. Moreover, it was not a laxative, but a chronic poison with a high fatal nature. The guests immediately panicked. Many people hurriedly put down their wine glasses. Some people wished they could slap themselves. Why were they so greedy? Why did they have to drink red wine? Wasn’t the juices delicious?
