"It's right there." Ye Tingxuan nodded towards the medicine bowl on the table.
Doctor Zhang was surprised and happy. He walked quickly to the table, picked up the medicine bowl and looked at it carefully.
He had only heard of the rumored thousand-year-old snow ginseng and had never seen the real thing. He was so excited that his wrists trembled slightly.
"Mr. Zhang, you must be careful. This is a life-saving elixir. If a drop is spilled..." Ye Tingxuan quickly reminded him.
Doctor Zhang nodded. Of course he knew how valuable this medicine was. He looked at the medicine soup. It was thick white in color and had a strong smell of ginseng.
"Strange, there seems to be something wrong with this ginseng soup."
He suddenly frowned and smelled a faint fishy smell underneath the extremely strong ginseng smell, which was just covered up by the smell of the ginseng.
"What's wrong? Shaobai brought it here personally. I believe there will be nothing wrong with this ginseng soup."
Mo Chuan lowered his eyes and looked at Chu Shaobai, who was still unconscious. His mood was agitated. How could the medicine that Chu Shaobai risked his life to deliver be fake
Doctor Zhang didn't answer. He shook his right hand and poured a little ginseng soup out.
"Mr. Zhang, what are you doing!" Ye Tingxuan was shocked and rushed up to take the medicine bowl in his hand.
There was only a "chi" sound, and the drop of ginseng soup fell on the hard and dense gold brick floor, making a soft sound.
Mo Chuan and Ye Tingxuan looked at it at the same time, and they were shocked when they saw a small hollow on the ground corroded by the drop of ginseng soup.
"Your Majesty, this ginseng soup is poisonous..." Ye Tingxuan looked horrified and his voice trembled.
Mo Chuan's expression changed. He stared at the bowl of ginseng soup with disbelief in his eyes.
The ginseng soup sent by Chu Shaobai actually contains a poison that can penetrate the bones and rot the heart? How can this be
"Test the poison."
Mo Chuan said in a deep voice.
Doctor Zhang nodded, put the medicine bowl on the table, took out a long brocade box from the medicine box and opened it. Inside were several silver needles specially used by the royal family to test poisons.
He picked up a silver needle and put it into the ginseng soup. In an instant, the shining silver needle suddenly turned as dark as ink.
"It's really, really poisonous!" Ye Tingxuan's voice trembled.
If Doctor Zhang hadn't discovered that the ginseng soup was poisonous, the emperor might have fed it to the empress.
But how could this ginseng soup be poisonous
"Your Majesty, this poison... was not given by Tingxuan, and has nothing to do with... me." He remembered that the ginseng soup was given to Mo Chuan from his own hand, and the emperor would definitely doubt him.
"I know it has nothing to do with you. This poison... has been put in the soup bowl a long time ago."
A sharp chill flashed across Mo Chuan's eyes, but the chill in his heart was even stronger.
Chu Shaoyang, you have such a poisonous heart!
You actually used Shaobai to send me a bowl of poisonous ginseng soup!
If Doctor Zhang hadn't discovered that the ginseng soup was poisonous, Ning'er would have died and Chu Shaobai would have been wronged!
What a vicious plan to kill two birds with one stone!
"Chu, Shao, Yang!" Mo Chuan spat out these three words through his teeth one by one.
Ye Tingxuan was shaken and murmured in disbelief: "Your Majesty, do you mean that this poison was administered by Chu Shaoyang? He... why is he so cruel? He... even deceives his own brother. Use... Is he still a human being?"
As if to answer his words, a clear voice suddenly sounded melodiously outside the hall.
"Consort Ye is right. I, Chu Shaoyang, am indeed not a human being. However, I am also forced to do nothing."
