In fact, it was Imperial Physician Ai who discovered that Ni Ande had changed the herbs. It was also Imperial Physician Ai who exposed Ni Ande and asked him to surrender before Dongling Yuanyong!
But before that, Ni Ande had actually regretted it day by day. At first, he really thought that the medicine brewed without the "pure grass" would not have the effect of inhibiting toxins, but at least it would not kill people.
It wasn't until the first batch of herbal medicines were distributed, and some people with severe poisoning died one after another after drinking the decoction, that he realized that the hidden danger must be related to the fact that he had used fake herbal medicines.
Therefore, he never dared to use "Yicao" instead of "Qingcao" to confuse the real thing.
But he was also afraid that the person who secretly threatened him would come to coerce him again. Unexpectedly, the person not only never appeared again, but also gave him the antidote his family needed.
But the unused "Yicao" was still hidden by him. In order to avoid future troubles, he had to find a way to destroy the remaining "Yicao".
The best way to destroy so much "Yicao" at once is of course to set it on fire.
But it was easy to transport "Yicao" into the warehouse, but it had to be inspected by the guards when transported out separately. There was no reason for him to suddenly transport so many "Yicao" that replaced "Qingcao" out of the warehouse and then destroy them.
After much thought, he thought of simply burying the "Yicao" on the spot in the open space in the backyard of the warehouse where he used to grow herbs.
Originally, this was considered a foolproof method. As long as no one discovered that he had buried the "Yicao" in the ground, over time, the "Yicao" would turn into soil, and there would be no evidence of the crime he committed.
.
However, God probably has eyes and his mistakes were discovered.
The discovery process was also extremely coincidental. In order to find out what was wrong with Ximen Yourong's prescription, Doctor Ai had repeatedly checked all the medicinal materials and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with them.
But in the middle of the night last night, he had a sudden thought and wanted to go to the warehouse to confirm the medicinal materials.
Just like that, Ni Ande's behavior of secretly burying "Ya grass" in the backyard was caught by Doctor Ai, and the matter was exposed!
However, as a result of causing many people to die suddenly and suddenly, Ni De'an explained with great confusion in his guilt:
"Now that things have happened, I know that I have already committed a capital crime. But at that time, I really thought that using "Yicao" instead of "Qingcao" would not kill people immediately. At most, it would only reduce the efficacy of the medicine. But I couldn't
Unexpectedly, the result was not what I thought..."
"Stupid, stupid..." Dr. Ai pointed angrily at Ni Ande angrily: "Do you think that the person who is hiding in the dark and coercing you to do such unreasonable things will just have fun with you when he is free? That's just an excuse.
With your own hands, you achieved the purpose of bringing disaster to the continent and blaming the Queen. The decoction without "Qingcao" is exactly the root cause of the secondary poisoning of the people...!"
"This... I really didn't know it would have such consequences. If I knew it was like this, I would never...!"
"Okay, don't say these useless things!" Dongling Yuanhao on the side lost his patience and interrupted Ni Ande's confession, then looked at Dongling Yuanyong who was silent and said:
"Brother Emperor, if that "Yicao" has no medicinal value, then what happened to those people who died suddenly in the first place?"
"Let Dr. Ge explain this issue."
Dongling Yuanyong looked at Getu, who had done his best to help a lot, and Getu answered:
"When the sudden death occurred, Queen Ximen and I were a little unprepared. But the people who died suddenly were all common people who were deeply poisoned, and they almost died of chest tightness after drinking the decoction! Therefore, Queen Ximen suspected that
Zhou was secretly poisoned again, which accelerated the death rate of the poisoned people. Based on the previous confirmation that people hiding in the dark poisoned people through water sources, Queen Ximen suspected that those people still caused disasters through water sources. Queen Ximen should be
I thought about how to verify her thoughts, so I hurriedly left the city regardless... Originally, I couldn't figure out what was going on with the sudden death of the people, but I didn't quite agree with Queen Ximen's speculation. After all, we had tested it repeatedly.
There is nothing wrong with the water in Yizhou. It wasn’t until I found out that the herbal medicine had been faked that I fully accepted Queen Ximen’s reasoning.”
"What reasoning?" Dongling Yuanhao still didn't understand what Getu meant!
Getulong frowned and continued:
"The source of poison in Yizhou is caused by the "hidden evil stone" in our Xiahou Kingdom. A trace amount of this poison will not be fatal quickly, but it will make people infinitely weak until the human body's energy is exhausted. Although Queen Ximen's prescription cannot eradicate it
The poison of the "Hidden Evil Stone" greatly suppresses the energy consumption of the poisoned person, thereby prolonging the survival time. I came to Yizhou with our prince. Originally, I was 90% sure that I could help Queen Ximen eliminate it together.
The poison of "Hidden Evil Stone". But now the source of the poison has been mixed and changed, and my antidote is no longer applicable."
"The source of the poison is mixed, but does it mean that the first and second poisons are mixed together and become another kind of poison?" Dongling Yuanyong calmly reasoned the conclusion more clearly.
"That's right, Queen Ximen discovered that Yizhou was poisoned for the second time, so she wanted to find out what kind of poison the villain behind it was. She couldn't figure out what kind of poison it was, and no matter who it was, they couldn't give an antidote.
The recipe.”
"But if the second poison also came from the water source, and we have been here for so long and drank the same water as the people in Yizhou, why are we fine?"
Dongling Yuanhao still couldn't understand that almost no one should be spared from poisoning through water sources. But people like them from outside Yizhou are all fine. Is it possible that water can still pass through the human body, and can we treat one person favorably than another?
?
His question was actually something that others couldn't figure out, so they all looked at Gotu and waited for him to give him a reasonable answer. Gotu also said directly:
"What Prince Hao suspected is the key! The reason why we are fine is because the second poison was specially targeted at the people who have been poisoned by the "Hidden Evil Stone". As far as I know, it can be compared with the "Hidden Evil Stone"
"Only the poisonous ice on the "Tianxue Mountain" can achieve this effect by merging to form a poison that can cause sudden death. But the "hidden evil stone" after being fused with the poisonous ice is very harmful to ordinary people, that is, those of us who have never been poisoned alone."
People who are poisoned by the "hidden evil stone" will not have any poisonous effects. But for people who have the poison of the "hidden evil stone" in their bodies, it will only add fuel to the flames!"
"Tianxue Mountain?" Dongling Yuanyong was surprised: "Isn't Tianxue Mountain the purest and most flawless holy mountain in your Xiahou Kingdom? The water source for your people living in the west is the snow water of Tianxue Mountain. If it is poisonous ice, you west
How come the people here have been safe and sound for thousands of years?"
"Tianxue Mountain" is both strange and familiar to Dongling Yuanyong, because his master, the old doctor ghost, is very familiar with "Tianxue Mountain". When he was studying with the old doctor ghost in the frontier, the old doctor ghost would mention "Tianxue Mountain" from time to time.
Tianxue Mountain” is this place.
"Emperor Dongling only knew one thing, but didn't know the other. Everyone knows that "Tianxue Mountain" is the sacred mountain of our Xiahou Kingdom, but they don't know that "Tianxue Mountain" has an unknown secret. That is "Tianxue Mountain"
There is a glacial lake on the top of the mountain. The ice in the glacial lake is poisonous, but the ice does not melt and becomes poisonous, so "Tianxue Mountain" can maintain pure snow water."
"The person who discovered that the icy lake was poisonous was a man named Poison Demon. As his name suggests, he became obsessed with poison and became a demon... Speaking of which, even the "Hidden Evil Stone" was discovered and brought to the world by Poison Demon. But this man had been around for decades.
He died years ago. So far, he is probably the only one who has successfully climbed to the top of "Tianxue Mountain". This is why I didn't think at first that the source of Yizhou's second poison was related to the poisonous ice in "Tianxue Mountain".
Relationship. Because it is very difficult for people to obtain the poisonous ice in Tianxue Mountain. You must know that the "Tianxue Mountain" where snow falls all year round is not 10,000 meters high, but also 8,000 meters high. There was once a man with strong martial arts who wanted to challenge climbing to the "Tianxue Mountain"
"Snow Mountain" peak, but in the end can only return halfway. Therefore, although I have determined that the people in Yizhou are now poisoned by a mixture of "hidden evil stone" and poisonous ice, I still find it hard to believe that anyone can have such ability to obtain
Is the poisonous ice from "Tianxue Mountain" used to poison people?"
Getu's long explanation basically answered some of everyone's doubts. But after Dongling Yuanyong listened, he said with concern:
"Since someone went up there decades ago, it's not surprising that someone goes up there again decades later. What's strange is that those people went to such great lengths to bring the poison unique to Xiahou Kingdom all the way to Dacheng to poison the common people.
What do they want to do?"
"Also, where does the force leading this matter come from? Is it our own problem, or...?"
Dongling Yuanhao didn't finish what he said, but in fact everyone was sensitive enough to guess what he didn't finish.
"Donngling Yuanhao, do you want to say that the disputes in our Xiahou Kingdom were brought to your Dacheng by my imperial brother, causing your Dacheng to suffer innocent disasters?"
Because she understood Dongling Yuanhao's allusion, Xia Houyiyun felt very uncomfortable, and she subconsciously started questioning him.
Seeing her obvious anger, Dongling Yuanhao said rationally and politely:
"My guess is not malicious. I am just discussing the matter. The source of the poison in Yizhou comes from the Xiahou Kingdom. During the time when you and your brother came to our Dacheng, you were assassinated and almost had an accident. My wife-in-law has been in Yizhou for such a long time.
Even though I was running around, no assassins showed up. As soon as your imperial brother came, assassins appeared. You should know better where those assassins came from. I hope you are well, but I don’t want your own problems to affect my imperial sister-in-law.
We don’t want our Dacheng people to be implicated…!”
"So, you are saying that we brothers and sisters should have left long ago, so that such a disaster would not happen to your Yizhou City, right?"
Xia Houyiyun unconsciously raised her voice. She was really angry! No matter whether Dongling Yuanhao's words were malicious or not, to her ears, she and his brother were as if they were the gods of plague in his eyes.
The inheritance brings bad luck!
"I didn't mean that, I just...!"
"That's what you mean. You think that the source of the poison is from our Xiahou Kingdom, so the people who poisoned your Yizhou are also from our Xiahou Kingdom. And those people came to target my brother, so they stayed in your Dacheng Kingdom
If you don't leave, we will attract the assassins and bring the poison, and we are also responsible for the disappearance of your queen."
Xia Houyiyun's anger towards Dongling Yuanhao was very serious, but the uncontrollable wetness in her eyes revealed some unknown grievances!
