Saying this, Yan Xizhao looked apologetically at Wang Tiancheng and the others.
"Brother Xu, Senior Sister Gu, please wait here for a mont. I’ll be right back."
Wang Tiancheng smiled, "Junior Sister Yan, if you don’t mind, we can co along. Maybe we can offer so help."
"That would be even better, but I’ll have to trouble you all." Yan Xizhao didn’t refuse.
Because she knew that Wang Tiancheng and Xu Niannian were both well-versed in many matters, they might indeed be able to help.
Yan Peng naturally had no objection.
The group went to the Quiet Chamber where Yan Fei was.
Upon seeing Yan Fei lying stiffly on the bed, unable to blink or speak, with only slight movent in her eyes and breath through her nostrils, essentially no different from a dead person,
even Yan Xizhao couldn’t help but show a look of surprise.
"What kind of poison is this? Why is it so peculiar?"
Wang Tiancheng and Xu Niannian were equally astonished.
Because they had never encountered such a situation before.
Xu Niannian stepped forward and gently touched Yan Fei’s ridian, pondering for a mont before furrowing his brows.
"Brother Xu, how is it?" Wang Tiancheng asked.
"Strange, this young lady’s pulse is steady and strong, nothing like being sick." Xu Niannian was greatly perplexed.
Hearing this, Yan Peng couldn’t help but smile bitterly: "Our Imperial Physician said the sa thing. At that ti, my mother even thought she was possessed and got several Daoist Nuns to exorcise her, but it had no effect."
"Of course, it wouldn’t work, because this is definitely a rare poison." Xu Niannian said with certainty.
"Then why doesn’t the pulse show any clues?" Yan Xizhao asked.
"Perhaps this poison only targets the muscles and doesn’t affect the blood vessels." Xu Niannian speculated.
"Is there really such a strange poison in the world?" Gu Chaoyue expressed doubt.
"Isn’t the one we’re seeing right now?" Xu Niannian replied.
At this mont, Wang Tiancheng, who had been silent, suddenly said: "Did your sister have any conflicts with anyone?"
"I had already asked in detail before coming. At that ti, my sister was about to go to a shop she frequents to buy so new rouge, and then suddenly this happened." Yan Peng said.
"Who told you this?" Wang Tiancheng asked.
"A few won who are often with my sister."
"Can you call them over? I have so questions for them." Wang Tiancheng said.
To take care of his sister, Yan Peng had indeed brought these won along, so when Wang Tiancheng said this, he imdiately nodded and said.
"Alright, I’ll go get them now."
A mont later, Yan Peng led a few won to the Quiet Chamber.
At this mont, these won no longer had their usual arrogance, trembling all over, with expressions of panic and uncertainty on their faces.
Without even asking, based on their behavior, Wang Tiancheng determined that there must be sothing going on.
He didn’t use any intimidation or deception, he just simply asked a question.
"What exactly was Commandery Princess Yan Fei doing at that ti? Can you tell the truth?"
As soon as the words fell, these won collapsed to the ground, tearfully pleading.
"I’ll tell, I’ll tell, please don’t kill ."
To these won from small bureaucratic families, Yan Xizhao of Washing Sword Manor and Wang Tiancheng were like a group of exalted Immortals.
So they dared to lie to Yan Peng, but they definitely didn’t dare to hide anything from Wang Tiancheng.
As these won recounted, everyone present finally understood what had happened.
When they heard the na Shang Luoluo, and that there was an extraordinary young man beside her, Wang Tiancheng and Xu Niannian exchanged a glance, having already made a guess in their hearts.
"So it was him, no wonder!" Wang Tiancheng sighed.
"I didn’t expect that besides swordsmanship, he also had such deep knowledge of the Poison Dao, truly a formidable young talent." Xu Niannian said with emotion.
"Do you two brothers recognize this person?" Yan Xizhao imdiately asked.
"That’s right, this person is a rising star from Yunxiao County, nad Zhao Ya."
With that, Wang Tiancheng briefly recounted their experiences in Yunxiao County and how they ca to know Zhao Ya.
After hearing this, Yan Xizhao suddenly said: "Isn’t this person tall and distinguished, skilled in swordsmanship, with a steady personality and often says astonishing things?"
"Oh, Junior Sister Yan also knows him?" Wang Tiancheng was surprised.
Yan Xizhao smiled, "Not really know, just a brief encounter."
Although they didn’t know why Yan Xizhao in the distant Capital City would have t Zhao Ya, Wang Tiancheng and Xu Niannian wisely chose to ignore it.
After all, everyone has their secrets, and sotis it’s better not to be too curious.
"If it’s Zhao Ya’s doing, then it’s simple. I guess he wasn’t intent on killing, just a punishnt, so we just have to go and ask him for the antidote." Xu Niannian said.
"I’ll go." Wang Tiancheng said.
"No need. Since this matter started because of my Yan family, I should be the one to resolve it."
Yan Xizhao said calmly, then stood up and said to Wang Tiancheng and the others.
"Please wait here, I’ll be right back."
After saying this, without waiting for their response, she leapt away and disappeared from their sight in the blink of an eye.
Wang Tiancheng and Xu Niannian exchanged a glance, then said in unison: "Let’s go and take a look."
Although they hadn’t interacted much, they knew Zhao Ya’s temper very well.
He was soone with an unyielding character.
And they were also familiar with Yan Xizhao’s temperant.
Though she was usually well-mannered and displayed aristocratic qualities, in reality, she was very proud and would not easily compromise.
