"No, you are not suitable to go."
Li Qingmu shook his head, he didn’t want Long Yue to get involved in the matters of the Imperial Palace.
Moreover, he could sense that there was sothing strange about this matter, probably related to the struggle for the throne. As a courtier, it’s okay for him to participate, but Yue’er was just a woman, really not suitable.
Long Yue also understood his concerns, and chuckled lightly, "Don’t forget, I am a doctor! At least I can help take a look, whether it’s poisoning or possession, right?"
After speaking, Long Yue pushed him, "Co on, take there quickly!"
Li Qingmu couldn’t resist his young wife, so he had to bring her to the Imperial Palace.
"Mmm..."
"Kneel down!"
A palace maid with a cloth stuffed in her mouth was brought over, and she knelt in front of Long Yue and Li Qingmu.
"Mr. Li, it’s her! We sealed her mouth to keep her from talking nonsense."
The guard bowed and said.
Li Qingmu nodded and looked at the person beside him, "What do you think?"
"There are many manifestations of poisoning; so people’s eyes change, so have lip changes, also pulse patterns, or even detectable from the blood. By the way, do the Imperial Physicians have any comnts?"
Lord Zhao was sent for treatnt, and there are no Imperial Physicians here.
"Madam, previously, Mr. Shen Chong checked her and said there were no abnormalities."
No abnormalities? Then it’s troubleso, it might really be possession!
If people still thought possession was nonsense before, after the Tomb Miasma Poison event last ti, the idea of possession had deeply rooted in people’s minds.
Li Qingmu pondered with his cheeks, the matter is really too coincidental, just after the Tomb Miasma Poison event, this incident happened.
Was it preditated, or accidental? Is it done by the sa person following that event, or did soone exploit the Tomb Miasma Poison incident?
"Get a small bowl!"
Li Qingmu knew what Long Yue wanted to do.
Then, the small bowl ca, and Long Yue used a dagger to cut the palace maid’s finger, collecting so fresh blood samples.
"I will take it back to show my master!"
"Okay!"
"By the way, remove the cloth stuffed in her mouth; I want to hear what she says?"
Soone stepped forward and removed the cloth from the palace maid’s mouth, and she started laughing madly, "Hahaha, die, die, all of you will die, they... they have co, they have co for revenge, haha, debts have a cause, debts have a master, they have co!"
"Has she been saying these things all along?"
A guard nearby responded, "Yes, she keeps repeating these words!"
"I understand, A Mu, I will go ho first, you co back early too."
"Hmm!"
Long Yue then left the palace and went to Baicao Lane to find Duanmu Nan.
"Master, quickly see if there are any special dications in this blood?"
Long Yue learned in her previous life during her studies with Duanmu Nan that so dications could cause ntal changes or even hallucinations.
And to test whether it contains such dicine requires many procedures, Duanmu Nan is the only one capable of this.
"Is this for the matter in the palace?"
Duanmu Nan knew the news very well.
Long Yue was surprised, "Yes, master, how did you know?"
"Jingyu ca by earlier."
Long Yue was shocked, "What did he want?"
"He also asked to examine the blood for any dications."
"Was I late?"
"Not really, because I found that the dications in the blood change over ti. So, your blood sample arrived just in ti."
Long Yue was truly amazed and very shocked.
Are there dications in this world that change over ti? Is it divine dicine or magic dicine?
"Actually, it’s not difficult to explain." Yun Jin erged from the inner room, holding so jars and bottles, "The blood of those living and dead is different; the blood in the morning and evening is different too, these dicines change according to the changes in the blood, it’s not as mysterious as imagined."
Long Yue nodded sowhat confusedly.
She seed to understand it but not quite.
Duanmu Nan took Long Yue’s blood sample and then placed it with the bottles Yun Jin brought.
Long Yue sat across, propping her chin with her hands while watching him busy.
Only to witness Duanmu Nan use a tiny spoon to take a drop of blood from the bowl, place it on a small saucer, and then take one dicine from among the bottles, using another clean spoon, sprinkle so dicine powder on it.
Long Yue silently watched, finding it fascinating.
The dicine powder actually changed from initially vermilion color to green.
This... is simply astonishing!
Then, she watched Duanmu Nan mix several other blood samples with different dications.
So dications solidified, so turned into gas, and others changed into various colors.
Long Yue stared with wide eyes, afraid to miss any detail.
Finally, after testing all dicines, Duanmu Nan frowned slightly.
Long Yue almost imrsed herself, seeing Duanmu Nan stop, she looked up, only to see him in deep thought.
"Master, is there a problem?"
His expression wasn’t right!
No matter what he encountered before, he always seed calm, but now he slightly frowned?
This indicates he really encountered a difficult problem.
"This dication probably isn’t from around here."
After contemplating for a long ti, Duanmu Nan spoke.
"Where is it then? The Western Regions? But I rember, the Western Regions are popular with poisonous insects?"
"No, it seems to be a secret dicine from the north."
North?
Long Yue was lost in thought, there are only two countries in the north, Beirong and Daliang, so which is it?
Beirong?
That’s very likely because Beirong always aims to infiltrate the Dazhou Dynasty.
Moreover, they have this motivation since they can leverage the previous Tomb Miasma Poison event to exacerbate this situation.
"Master, what kind of secret dicine is it?"
Yun Jin asked what Long Yue wanted to know.
Duanmu Nan replied, "Ten Miles of Flowers!"
"It’s this?" Yun Jin was shocked.
Long Yue was perplexed, "Mistress, what kind of dicine is Ten Miles of Flowers?"
"A drug that can cause hallucinations and allow the person who administers it to manipulate the victim, only the Beiliang Imperial Family possesses it."
"Beiliang?"
Isn’t that Daliang Country? Long Yue trusted her master then. So, did she think wrong earlier?
"Yes, the Beiliang Imperial Family has a State Preceptor of very mysterious origins who specializes in making secret dicines, and the secret dicines he makes are difficult to detect. It’s by a chance encounter that the master knows about ’Ten Miles of Flowers’.
"In Dazhou, infiltrators are not only from Da Rong but also from Daliang?"
Long Yue felt a tingle on her scalp; this is just too speechless.
"No, it’s possible that they just found a special channel to obtain it from Beiliang; anyway, currently, we don’t know who administered the drug, everything remains uncertain."
Long Yue nodded, "Hmm, master, does this dicine have an antidote?"
"No, but it has a ti limit; after seven days the dicine will dissipate on its own, and in short ti it can’t be administered again."
So within seven days, the person who administered the drug will definitely take action?
Long Yue understood in her heart, then bid farewell to Duanmu Nan.
Once she left, Yun Jin looked at him a bit suspiciously, "Why did you tell her these things?"
