Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Qingxue carefully combined the two substances as she tried to find a balance between them, “I suspect that he was poisoned by a kind of poison from a poisonous flower called Yanqiluo. It takes ten years for this kind of flower to produce flower buds, another twenty years for it to bloom, and thirty years for it to mature into a poison. It is said that people who are poisoned by this kind of poison will never be able to get rid of it. They will be tortured day after day until they lose their minds and go crazy like a demon. In the end, the poison will enter their internal organs and explode.”
The young butler widened his eyes in surprise and said, “Oh my G.o.d, it’s so scary! If that big fish was really poisoned by that kind of poison, wouldn’t there really be no cure?”
“Not necessarily. There are lethal poisons in the world, so naturally, there are ways to detoxify them. However, our priority now is to determine whether he was poisoned by the Yanqiluo lethal poison or not. As long as we can confirm it, I can at least think of a way to alleviate his current situation,” Gu Qingxue said, the concoction of the medicine in her hand was finally completed.
The light blue medicinal liquid seemed to be covered with a layer of faint ice crystals, exuding a refreshing fragrance.
Under the young butler’s nervous gaze, Gu Qingxue carefully dripped a drop of Rong Zhan’s blood into the test tube.
After the drop of blood merged with the medicinal liquid, it instantly spread out blood-colored veins like a spider web in the medicinal liquid. The blood and the medicinal liquid solidified into one, like a blooming flower, exuding a b.l.o.o.d.y smell.
Seeing this, Gu Qingxue’s heart sank.
“It’s really Yanqiluo flower poison.” Gu Qingxue put down the test tube casually and could not help but be curious.
Yanqiluo was a rare poison in the world. If she had not studied many rare ancient medical books since she was young, she would not be able to recognize this kind of poison.
What was the ident.i.ty of that man? How could he be treated with such a fierce poison?
Moreover, if an ordinary person was poisoned by this kind of poison, he would lose his mind within a few days.
However, that man was able to stay awake and even cover up the fact that he was poisoned, which proved that he was not simple.
“Master, now that we have confirmed what kind of poison he was poisoned with, can we start to research the antidote?” The young butler asked expectantly.
“I’ve told you that this is a rare poison in the world. It’s not that easy to cure.” Gu Qingxue was thinking about it when she suddenly felt a loud noise coming from outside the courtyard house.
Gu Qingxue’s mind moved. She quickly left the research inst.i.tute and returned to her room.
When Gu Qingxue’s mind came back, she heard the noise coming from outside the courtyard house even more clearly.
She stood up, opened the door, and walked out. Gu Qingxue watched as the three children rushed into the house.
“Mother, someone, someone is coming!” It was unknown what Dumby saw, but his eyes were filled with panic.
“Don’t worry, tell me slowly. Who is coming?” Gu Qingxue asked as she touched Dumby’s little face.
“I’m not sure either. I heard from the villagers that they are from Jing City and are here to look for mother. Mother, why are the people from Jing City coming to our village?” Dumby asked uneasily.
“Mother, I saw Madam Yu and her men surrounding the carriage like lackeys. I also saw several men standing around the carriage. They were all expressionless and looked so fierce and scary.” Lingbao recalled what she had seen just now, fear rose in her eyes.
The people in Jing City were dressed differently from them. They did not look like people from the village at all, who looked honest and amiable. All of them had cold faces and looked fierce.
