369 Corpse Rotting Poison
However, Gu Qingxue seemed to be fine!
“Prince Heng, what I said is the main point. If you don’t look, how will you know that I’m innocent?” Gu Qingxue saw that Prince Heng’s face had turned green, so she waved at Prince Heng enthusiastically, “Please come this way, Your Highness. I’ll make a place for you so that you can see it clearly.”
Prince Heng almost vomited when he heard Gu Qingxue’s words. He quickly waved his hand and said, “No, there’s no need for me to look. I don’t understand these things either. Imperial Physician Qin, go and speak to Gu Qingxue.”
Imperial Physician Qin was completely stunned by this. He looked at Prince Heng and coincidentally met Prince Heng’s gaze.
Imperial Physician Qin felt bitter in his heart. He did not dare to disobey the prince’s order, so he walked to Gu Qingxue’s side and stood still.
Gu Qingxue smiled, and her hands were not polite at all. She picked up the old village chief’s esophagus in front of Imperial Physician Qin, “Imperial Physician Qin, please take a look. If the old village chief had drunk a poison for a long term, his esophagus wouldn’t be so smooth and elastic.”
Imperial Physician Qin did not dare to look at the old village chief. He turned his head to the side stubbornly, still trying to show off. “This doesn’t mean anything.”
“It doesn’t mean anything, but Imperial Physician Qin can continue to look,” Gu Qingxue said as she cut the old village chief’s ribs and flesh with the sharp knife in her hand, revealing the heart underneath.
“Urgh!” The heavy smell of blood and the near-terrifying visual impact made the guard standing at the side unable to bear it. His body trembled for a moment, then he opened his mouth and vomited.
Gu Qingxue acted as if she did not hear him. She pointed at the black vein on the spot of the heart with the tip of her knife. “Imperial Physician Qin, please take a look. The black vein contains the poison that killed the old village chief.”
Imperial Physician Qin did not want to look at it at all. He only wanted to stay away from Gu Qingxue so that this crazy woman would not do something unimaginable!
“Poisons have a different taste and color, but the medicine I made doesn’t have this kind of poison,” Gu Qingxue said as she used the container she carried with her to contain the poison in the vein.
The poison and the poisonous blood were put into the bottle by Gu Qingxue. As she presented the bottle in front of everyone, the stench of something rotten swept out.
Even though everyone was still some distance away from Gu Qingxue, they were all nauseated by the terrible stench!
“Ugh! What is that smell?!” Imperial Physician Qin was the closest to the bottle of poison. He suddenly smelled such a strong smell and almost fainted from the stench!
“This is the real smell of the poison. If I’m not wrong, this poison is called Corpse Rotting Poison. It looks like it can cause one’s heart to palpitate and die silently. In fact, the corpse of a person who has taken this poison will rot more easily than an ordinary corpse and emit a foul stench. If you don’t believe me, you can stop the old village chief from being buried first. After another two days, the poison will spread throughout the old village chief’s body, and his corpse will emit an unprecedented stench,” Gu Qingxue said, she used the stopper of the bottle to block the bottle.
Only then did the strange stench be covered. The people present also revealed expressions as if they had just survived a disaster, and they took large gulps of air.
“In other words, the old village chief died of heart palpitations after being drugged by someone else with the corpse rotting poison?” Madam Peng asked while covering her nose.
