The group's favorite little Fubao has become the most arrogant kid in the whole imperial city

Chapter 130 Burnt?

The town the woman was talking about was the one from which they had first heard the news.

"Later, the girl felt sorry for us orphans and widows and taught us to dig herbs to sell, and our lives became better. She was afraid that we would not be able to find her, so she accompanied us up the mountain every time, and came down again after three or four days." The woman continued, "The girl's health has always been poor. She has been vomiting blood intermittently since I picked her up. Three days ago, we went up the mountain again, and halfway through, the girl suddenly vomited blood, but this time the bleeding could not be stopped. I took her to find a traveling doctor in the mountains, but the doctor said that the girl was poisoned and injured, and her blood was flowing backwards, and she could not be saved."

"Three days ago?" Xihe lowered his eyes and counted the days carefully. "Isn't that the day before we set out?"

Xiao Mingxuan pursed his lips and said nothing.

A sweet and fishy taste rose in her throat, but Xihe suppressed it firmly. "So, if we had been here one day earlier, maybe my aunt wouldn't have died."

Just a little bit.

If she had discovered the existence of Qianji Powder earlier, she could have found her aunt earlier.

But... one day was missing.

After a while, a thought flashed through Xihe's mind, "No, the effect of Qianji Powder will take at least a year, the timing is wrong."

The effect of Qianji Powder is to torture people, but the poisoned person will not die within the prescribed time limit.

The poison in Zhao Wanyu's body shouldn't change so quickly.

"That's what the itinerant doctor said, but he said there seemed to be another poison in the girl's body. It was this unknown poison that triggered something in the girl's body." The woman recalled the itinerant doctor's words and repeated them word for word: "And the itinerant doctor said it was also because of this unknown poison that the girl's head had problems and she forgot everything."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Mingxuan suddenly froze. He suddenly looked up at the distraught Nangong Yan, and a suspicion surged in his heart.

"Unknown poison?" Xihe recalled that at the end of this year, Zhao Wanyu returned to Beijing to report on her work, and she also took her aunt's pulse. "Impossible, at the beginning of this year, my aunt was clearly fine. Unless..."

Xihe calculated the time briefly, then looked at Nangong Yan with suspicion, "Did you give my aunt something to eat?"

Nangong Yan looked dull, and his every move was like a puppet. Every slight movement made the sound of a decaying dead tree. When he opened his mouth, everyone was startled. "Before that, answer me a question first."

"Do you want to ask about Qianji Powder?" Xihe almost subconsciously knew what the other party wanted to ask.

Nangong Yan took two steps, but found that each step seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. "Yes, the Thousand Machine Powder was clearly dissolved in my body, why did Ah Wan get hit by the Thousand Machine Powder?"

A bitter smile appeared on Xihe's lips. "Palace Master Lihua, the center of the intelligence network, doesn't he know that Qianji Powder... has no solution?"

It's so ironic that the owner of the largest intelligence network happened to miss the information that could save Zhao Wanyu's life.

“No solution?” Nangong Yan seemed to have lost his senses. He said woodenly, “How is it possible? I took the pill and I survived.”

Xihe suddenly laughed softly, tears streaming down her eyes, and happened to fall on the back of the hand of the person behind her. "The pill in your mouth was given to my aunt by me at the end of the year to detoxify her, but Qianji Powder is the worst of all poisons, and the medicine I gave her can't cure it at all!"

As if the excitement was not enough, Xihe said word by word: "There is no antidote for Qianji Powder, but it can be transferred. It was my aunt who transferred the poison to myself, which saved your life!"

Qianji means cleverness.

There is no solution, only transfer.

Nangong Yan's body swayed slightly, and he took two steps back, "There is no antidote. How is this possible? That's not what Ah Wan told me."

"What on earth did you give my aunt to eat? It catalyzed the Thousand Machine Powder in her body and caused her to die here!" Xihe felt as if her heart was broken into several pieces, shattered all over the ground, and could never be picked up again.

Nangong Yan looked crazy, his sanity was collapsing on the edge, he was only one step away from madness, and he couldn't say a word. Xiao Mingxuan was silent for a while, then said, "It's the secret medicine of Lihua Palace, Beiyuan."

The name sounds nice, but the medicine is very overbearing. Those who take it will forget their name, identity, and past. Everything will disappear into thin air, just like the mandarin ducks in the north, which only recognize their own ducks.

"Bei Yuan." Xihe knew this thing. Medicine and poison were from the same family. They had talked about this thing before. She suddenly laughed miserably. "In order to save you, my aunt was infected with Qianji Powder, but I could cure her as long as she returned to the capital. But before she came back, you fed her Bei Yuan. The two neutralized each other and killed her completely."

"I didn't know! I really... didn't know she was poisoned by Qianji Powder. I really... didn't know." Nangong Yan couldn't help crying out loud, sobbing, "If I knew, I wouldn't have given her Beiyuan."

That's too late.

Xihe suddenly looked up at the blue sky. She wondered if the madman was watching her from a corner. Xihe wanted to ask, "Is the way of heaven unpredictable?"

As fate would have it, Qianjisan and Beiyuan were superimposed on Zhao Wanyu, taking away her life.

Just one step away.

Just one step and Xihe could rescue Zhao Wanyu.

"Where's the body?" Zhao Jinyuan asked, "Aunt is gone. Where did you take her body?"

The woman dodged his gaze and finally told the truth after several threats, "The quack doctor said that the girl has too much poison in her body and it will be transmitted to others, so... burn it all."

"What did you say?" Zhao Jinyuan was taught by Concubine Chen and Concubine Xian not to use force against women, but the violence that surged in his heart today made him unable to help but kill the person in front of him, "Burn her?"

The woman was trembling, and it was the crying of the child that calmed Zhao Jinyuan down and he let go of the hand that was holding the woman's collar.

"Where was it burned? Where are the ashes?" Zhao Jinyuan felt like the sky was falling.

The person could not be rescued, and neither could the body be preserved intact.

"I don't know. The itinerant doctor said he was going to Baili Town, so he took the patient there and burned him." The woman calculated the time and said, "He took the patient away about the afternoon before yesterday, so he should have been burned that day."

“The day before yesterday?” Nangong Yan murmured, “That night, there was a big fire…”

Xihe was confused, "What?"

Zhao Jinyuan was the first to react. Xin Chang couldn't stop himself from falling backwards. "That fire didn't burn the straw, but my aunt?"

The fire that passed by them burned Zhao Wanyu's body.

Nangong Yan suddenly became like a madman, running towards a certain direction regardless of everything, bumping into many people on the way, causing them to curse at him.

He seemed to hear nothing, and the fire kept repeating in his mind like a revolving lantern.

When I arrived, I saw a group of people picking up a pile of ashes.

“Get out of here!” Nangong Yan kicked those people away and searched everywhere.

His expression was so terrifying that the person who was hit wanted to fight back, but was frightened back by the other person's expression.

"Where did this lunatic come from? Why is he arguing with a pile of ashes?"
