A trace of panic flashed through the young man's confused eyes. He seemed to realize something and looked at his grandfather.
Taifu Xu said: "Whatever Doctor Xia asks you, you must answer truthfully. This is your last chance."
The young man finally nodded.
Yuan Qiu asked directly: "Are you taking something exciting?"
The young man nodded and said: "It's Wuji fragrance. Every time I smell it, I feel very excited, as if I can forget all the troubles in the world. No one doesn't like that feeling, and I am the same."
"So you are addicted. If you don't take two puffs a day, you will feel uncomfortable all over, right?"
A flash of surprise flashed in the young man's eyes: "How did you know?"
"Where does this fragrance come from? Who else is breathing this fragrance with you?"
Seeing Yuan Qiu's serious face, the young man did not dare to hide anything, and immediately said: "This incense is only available in Dengxian Tower. Almost all the regular guests of Dengxian Tower smoke this incense."
Yuan Qiu asked again: "Among the regular visitors to the Immortal Tower, are there any ministers of the court?"
The young man nodded: "Yes, there are many."
"It was your first time to inhale this incense. Who took you there? And who gave you this incense?"
"The first time I went to the Climbing Immortal Tower was with Prince Yongchang. He also gave me the incense. He said that if you smell it, you can reach the peak of immortality."
The young man's face changed again, and cold juice began to appear on his forehead. Yuan Qiu counted that the time was almost up, so he reached out and pulled out the silver needles from the eight points around his head. Seeing that his face was getting worse and worse, the violence in his eyes returned again. When she came, she said again: "You can't go to Dengxian Tower anymore. This thing will kill you sooner or later. Stay at home, as long as you can resist the pain of wanting to smoke Wuji Incense, until one day you can't." No matter how painful it is, your illness will be cured."
After Yuan Qiu finished speaking, he turned to look at Taifu and Zhu Yan, with a heavy expression on his face: "It seems that the capital will not be peaceful!"
The Taifu led the two of them to his study. As soon as he sat down, he asked, "What did Doctor Xia mean just now? Can you elaborate?"
Yuan Qiu nodded, took a sip of warm tea to moisten his throat, and said in a deep voice: "The so-called Wujixiang is actually an addictive poison. Although this poison will not be fatal in a short period of time, it can Control people's hearts. You have also seen what your grandson has become because he cannot inhale this Wuji Incense. Just imagine, if all the ministers in the court are inhaling this Wuji Incense, then the person holding the Wuji Incense will Do you hold the entire power in your hands?"
Taifu Xu and Zhu Yan's expressions changed greatly. They had never heard of such a thing as Wuji Incense. They did not expect that there would be such an evil thing in this world, which would make people addicted to it and drive them crazy.
"What Doctor Xia means is that someone in the capital deliberately used Wuji Incense to lure people into the situation in order to control the situation?"
Xia Yuanqiu nodded: "Yes, your grandson is just a tool to contain you. The ultimate goal of the person holding the Wuji Incense is you."
"He expected that you would enter the game because of your love for your grandson and eventually become their pawn."
Taifu Xu was so angry that he was shaking all over. He slapped the table with his palm and roared: "You bastard, it's disgusting, it's really disgusting."
Zhu Yan, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke: "Since it was Yongchang Hou Shizi who brought your grandson into the situation, Yongchang Hou's Mansion must be involved."
Taifu Xu frowned and said nothing. He suddenly slapped the table and said, "Yongchang Hou has been looking bad in court recently. He is always distracted. His body seems not as strong as before and he has lost a lot of weight. Could it be that he is also inhaling this Wuji incense?"
