Chapter 48: Nice Response, You Chick

Proofreader: Prof. Zhu Yuan

“Concubine Dan has a relapse. You guys come here to help her go to rest!” The Emperor Tianlong could only come up with this excuse to help him out.

But no one would believe that.

Because her whole palm had turned black!

Maybe he could stick to his excuse, but the sixth prince would not buy that. After all, for a prince, his most reliable back was his mother.

“Father, my mother is poisoned! Please call the imperial physician to save her!” Beiming Yue made his way through the crowd and rushed to the concubine.

Without seeing it clearly, Beiming Yue came close and took his mother’s hand, and was startled that her hand had been severely poisoned.

The lie was exposed, and the Emperor could not play fool with Beiming Xuan, who was coldly staring at him.

“Call the imperial physician!”

Because the physician must accompany the Emperor, so it did take much time for them to find the physician.

Actually, everyone could tell that the concubine had been poisoned, but when two imperial physicians were coming, the Emperor still told them, “Carefully check my concubine for me, doesn’t she have headache before?”

Really? Did headache have any connection with her hand becoming black?

Anyway, they still carefully checked the condition of the concubine.

At this moment, the only answer that the Emperor wanted to hear was that she wasn’t poisoned.

However, their answer was negative, “Sorry, my Emperor. The concubine has been poisoned.”

He frowned!

In terms of their answer, this zither must be poisonous.

Sending some poisonous gifts to Beiming Xuan was the worst idea, even worse than directly announcing that he would kill him.

His expression was gloomy, because he hated the reality that Beiming Xuan was better than him.

As a mighty king of a country, he used such a dirty method which was also exposed by the crowd. It was a shame for him!

But he didn’t do that actually.

“You guys! Come to check the rest two treasures! I must know the result at once!”

They checked them quickly, and the results came soon.

“My Emperor, both of them are highly poisonous.”

He was extremely upset now, and turned to Beiming Xuan, who stared at him with anger.

What an embarrassing moment!

At this high time, no matter who did that, he would be regarded as the culprit anyway.

“Check for me now! Check everyone who has touched those treasures before! I must find out the criminal!”

Now, the only way for him was to shift the focus upon someone else, so that he could have chance to prove his innocence.

Eyes blazing, he pointed to his eunuch Wu An, roared mercilessly, “ You first!”

Wu An fell down on the ground out of fear.

Now his guards and two physicians were busy in arresting and checking anyone suspicious.

“Brother, I think it will be much easier for us to find out the criminal by testing what kind of poison it is.”

Beming Xuan spoke suddenly, and his voice was as cold as icy, which made the Emperor nervous.

He looked at Beiming Xuan, whose eyes were as dark as the black hole which could suck everything in but was hard to see through.

Was he suspecting him? Or he was provoking him?

Or he was just trying to help him out by giving a solution!

No matter what, his solution should not be ignored.

“My young brother has made a point! You guys hurry to check the poison now.”

Concubine Dan was so helpless that she would be left there without any solicitude if Beiming Xuan didn’t suggest that, because her husband was busy in getting rid of his suspicion.

Physician Li hurried to check her, but after a while, he was covered with sweat and raised his head to ask for pardon, “My Emperor, I am incompetent at identifying what kind of poison it is in such a short time.”

This poison was so hard to identify!

If they failed to identify it, then it was impossible for them to find out where it was from.

This method was invalid, and they should start to check anyone suspicious now, although it would be time-wasting.

“Mu Rong, check the poison for me now!” Beiming Xuan spoke again, and this time, he completely ignored the Emperor.

The Emperor became anxious, although others weren’t aware of it, but he was very sensitive that he felt Beiming Xuan’s anger clearly.

If they could find out the truth soon, he would be proved innocent, because he would never use such a stupid way to kill Beiming Xuan.

But Beiming Xuan’s behavior made him uncomfortable. Although he really wanted to stop him, his physicians were too incompetent to help him identify the poison. So he could only let Beiming Xuan to do so. By the way, if Beiming Xuan insisted, he couldn’t stop him.

Then a man in white came to the concubine quickly, without any salute, he checked her carefully.

Physician Li stopped checking when he found this man next to him, and instantly stepped back. He said with respect, “Doctor Mu! Please, please!”

Seeing that, the Emperor felt ashamed and angry. Even his doctor was inconsequential compared to Beiming Xuan’s?

But soon, the Emperor sighed with a relief.

Because Mu Rong also frowned after checking, and reluctantly talked to Beiming Xuan, “My lord, this poison was so strange that I can’t identify it either now.”

Your doctor was also as mediocre as mine!

The Emperor raised his eyebrows, and he had completely forgot that the person who was poisoned was his concubine.

Poor Concubine Dan!

Beiming Xuan squinted his eyes, and suddenly turned to Ruan Jiujiu, “Ruan Jiujiu, you check.”

Ruan Jiujiu?

The crows were stunned by his words, but Ruan Jiujiu slightly raised her eyebrow.

“Go to identify it.” Beiminng Xuan repeated it calmly.

She really wanted to make fun with him now, but this man was so serious and cold that she could only follow his order and step toward the concubine.

But she had no idea about how to identify the poison, so she was ready to give up.

She could only detoxify, and this ancient poison was beyond her knowledge.

She raised her head and was about to say that she did not know, but Beming Xuan’s icy eyes threatened her.

She changed her words in second, “It is Wusi poison.”

Wusi poison?

Her answer shocked them all.

Mu Rong was stunned because he knew this poison, but why didn’t he tell it just now?

The physician was stunned because he had never expected this nameless girl was more awesome than Doctor Mu?

The Emperor Tianlong was also numbed with shock because he had heard this poison before.

Beiming Xuan was shocked too, but he recovered his poise in second, and felt a hint of interest.

Nice response, you chick!

It was hard for the Emperor to get rid of his suspicion. After all, the gift-sending section was his idea.

Besides, the news that the Wusi poison issue happened in Yun Palace was already spread widely.

Now for the Emperor, he not only had to deal with the poison on the treasures, but he would also be blamed for what had happened in Yun Palace. No matter whether he was innocent or not, others would connect these two issues together and blamed him anyway.
