A thick stinking smell spread through the whole room, making one sick. Those maidservants andmamas all covered their noses and mouths, quickly opened the windows for ventilation.
Old Prince Jing who was in coma suddenly made a few light coughs and slowly opened his eyes. Seeing Murong Xue’s beautiful face right before his eyes, he was a little surprised, “Xue’er?!”
Murong Xue responded and smiled at him, “My lord, are you feeling better?”
With the stinking smell lingering on his nose, Old Prince Jing frowned. He looked at the silver needles and wounds on his chest, and then turned to that half a bow of black blood, he immediately understood what had happened. He nodded slightly, “Much better. What poison is it?”
“I don’t know the name. But I could tell it could damage one’s heart arteries.” In modern society, Murong Xue had learnt about all kinds of poison that could damage one’s nerves, brains and internal organs, etc.. Different medicinal materials for those poisons produced different smells.
In the stinking smell had a rather light smell of a kind of medicinal materials, which was specially used to damage one’s heart arteries.
Ye Yichen’s face immediately darkened. So all this wasn’t an accident. Someone did it intentionally. “When would it attack after one gets poisoned?”
After some calculation, Murong Xue said, “In two to four hours.” The higher toxic, the sooner. According to Old Prince Jing’s symptoms, it should have attacked after it got into his body for two to four hours.
“But my father has stayed in the mansion all these days. He even seldom went out of the yard. But he got poisoned in the mansion…” Ye Yichen didn’t finish his words, but everyone on site knew what he was pointing at.
Prince Jing Mansion was heavily guarded, plus Old Prince Jing had superb kung fu. No one could sneaked into the mansion and poison him without him noticing. So it should be an inside job.
All maidservants and mamas looked at each other and then lowered their heads, holding their breath. Poisoning Old Prince Jing was a capital crime. No one wanted to invite trouble in.
Ye Yichen cast a glance at every maidservant, mama, servant and guard, and then laid his eyes on Murong Xue, “Can you find the source of the poison?”
“Urgh…”After thinking for a moment, Murong Xue nodded, “I’ll try.” This kind of poison was pricey and rare. So he/she wouldn’t use it all for once. As long as he/she had some left, she could collar him/her out.
Looking at her confident eyes, Ye Yichen was a little surprised. There were nearly a hundred people counting in all the maidservants, mamas, servants and guards… To find the suspect among so many people wasn’t an easy thing. He was only asking actually, but she promised!
“Beibei!” called Murong Xue at the door, smiling.
Following her eyes, Ye Yichen saw a puppy get up on the floor and hopped towards them.
Its snow-white hair was as smooth and soft as the silk. And it nearly became one with Ouyang Shaochen’s long robe when it lied down at his feet.
Bark! Bark! Bark! Beibei ran before Murong Xue and wagged its snow-white tail at her.
Murong Xue then put the half bowl of black blood by its nose, “Sniff and take us to somewhere else where it has the same smell.”
Bark! Bark! Beibei sniffed the black blood, rolled its eyes and then, swoosh, jumped out of the room and ran away.
Ye Yichen immediately followed up!
