Chapter 40: Poisoning
After confirming that there was no one around, Zheng Tianlan turned over and came to the Pingyi Palace.
landed easily, without any sound.
At this moment, in the Pingyi Palace, there was silence all around.
In the middle of the night, there was only the occasional snoring of servants and the sound of cordyceps everywhere.
Zheng Tianlan quietly walked to the door of the kitchen and easily pushed the door in.
After a few days of observation, Zheng Tianlan had already figured out everything in the Pingyi Palace.
Every morning, King Pingyi would inevitably drink a bowl of lotus seed soup.
And this Pingyi Palace, the first person to have breakfast must be the Pingyi King.
At this moment, it was already three and ten minutes, but in a few hours, the cook in the palace of the king of Pingyi was about to get up and cook.
Zheng Tianlan took out a packet of powder poison that had been prepared from his arms.
Then I poured it into the seasoning that the chef uses every day.
It may have been fate.
If it was a few days in the morning, I am afraid that it would be a little difficult for Zheng Tianlan to enter the palace to do these things.
Now Zhao Xiyan is not in the palace, although there are many guards in the palace.
But after all, they are all soldiers, and they are not good at poisoning and assassination.
For Zheng Tianlan's night detective, he was also unaware.
If Zhao Xiyan was still there, I am afraid that the moment Zheng Tianlan entered the Pingyi Palace, he would have already been detected.
Not to mention the fact that it can be easily poisoned.
After everything was settled, Zheng Tianlan left calmly, just waiting for everything to happen.
On the second day, sure enough, there was news of someone poisoning in the palace.
And the King of Razor is among them.
For many years, his subordinates have managed Penglai Pavilion, and King Pingyi is naturally clear about the poisoning.
It's just this time, because the place where Zheng Tianlan poisoned was the material.
For a time, the entire palace was poisoned, and King Pingyi was not alone.
Many subordinates were also poisoned.
Although the poison is not life-threatening for a short time, it is not a solution in the long run.
At the first time when King Pingyi was poisoned, he also thought about covering up the matter.
It's a pity that there are too many people who have been poisoned, and the matter of identity chaos is difficult to calm down for a while.
It is even more noisy up and down Kyoto, and it is boiling.
After all, the daughter of Xiangguo died a few days ago, and now several people in the Pingyi palace have been poisoned.
The occurrence of this series of events has inevitably caused more disputes in Kyoto, which is already in turmoil.
And the poisoning of the Pingyi palace spread to the palace.
Feng Yewu heard about the poisoning of King Pingyi, and naturally rejoiced in his heart.
At this moment, in the Pingyi Palace, in the study, the Pingyi King's face was slightly haggard, and his lips were pale.
It was a very down-and-out look, and beside King Pingyi, Zhao Xiyan helped King Pingyi check the toxicity with a serious face.
"Lord Wang, this poison is not fatal, but it consumes qi and blood, if you don't find the antidote, I'm afraid you will definitely worry about your life after a long time."
Zhao Xiyan looked embarrassed while checking the pulse of the King of Pingyi.
After all, when it comes to using poison, Zhao Xiyan thinks that he is a good hand.
But at the moment, the poison of the King of Razor is extremely strange.
There is not the slightest violent characteristic, but it is lingering and difficult to eradicate.
"Hmph, you don't need to say it, this king naturally knows."
King Pingyi shook his head a little weakly, and a slight sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He had already guessed the purpose of the poisoner, even the person behind the poisoner.
The King of Pingyi also guessed nine times out of ten.
"When did the prince master the theory of poison?"
Zhao Xiyan looked at the Pingyi King who looked clear, and was taken aback.
For a long time, Zhao Xiyan had always thought in his heart that King Pingyi had never understood the use of poison at all.
Now, the king of Pingyi actually said that he knew, which was obviously not a lie.
But as a dignified vassal king, he is also proficient in pharmacology, which is not a good thing in Zhao Xiyan's opinion.
Isn't it that the other party wants to gradually replace himself? Suspicious of yourself?
Zhao Xiyan's gaze gradually changed from surprise to horror.
The more I thought about it, the more I was afraid.
"Don't be surprised, this king naturally doesn't understand pharmacology, but this time the poison is very clear."
King Pingyi felt Zhao Xiyan's gaze, and also noticed the strangeness in his eyes.
Shaking his head helplessly, he opened his mouth to explain.
"This poison is refined from an extremely ordinary poisonous flower in the territory of this king's domain."
"This king naturally knows."
Hearing King Pingyi's explanation, Zhao Xiyan let down his guard, and immediately asked with a smile.
"Since the prince already knows the origin of this poison, he must also know the method of detoxification, and his subordinates are indeed worried."
When King Pingyi heard Zhao Xiyan's words and said that he knew the method of detoxification, his face was a little helpless.
"This king does know the method of detoxification, but now there is no way to detoxify."
"Why?"
Zhao Xiyan was very puzzled, since he already knew the method, he could use it, why did King Pingyi look helpless.
"Do you know that this poison is made by grinding from that flower, and the antidote needs to be solved by using the petals of that flower."
King Pingyi smiled bitterly, and then said.
"It's just this petal, but it's not easy to get."
"As the supreme authority in the local area, even if there is no one in Kyoto, the prince ordered someone to leave quickly, I believe it will definitely be sent in three days."
Zhao Xiyan looked at the bitter smile of the King of Pingyi, and was a little puzzled for a while, besides, judging from the introduction of the King of Pingyi, this flower does not seem to be uncommon.
"These petals have to be eaten raw to detoxify. It's just that this flower looks ordinary, but the growth requirements are extremely strict. ”
King Pingyi looked at Zhao Xiyan, who was puzzled, and couldn't help but think in his heart that this time, the other party's purpose was extraordinarily clear, that is, to go back by himself.
"This flower cannot leave the soil, and even a blink of an eye will wilt in an instant. And that petal will dissipate on the ground, and it will dry up and lose its effect after just a few breaths after separation. ”
Hearing King Pingyi's description, Zhao Xiyan was shocked, and his heart was amazed.
"And what about the men who were ordered to bring it with the soil?"
"That's not possible, only living soil can guarantee that this flower will not be grateful."
Hearing such a detailed introduction from King Pingyi, Zhao Xiyan completely understood, which was also the root cause of King Pingyi's embarrassment.
In Kyoto at the moment, King Pingyi can't get out at all.
But this poisoner was forcing King Pingyi to leave Kyoto, and this time they were careless.
"Then the prince has naturally guessed the identity and intention of the other party?"
Zhao Xiyan himself could think of it, and King Pingyi could naturally guess it.
"It seems that this poison should be done by Feng Yewu's faction."
King Pingyi said lightly the answer he had already guessed.
"Lord Wang, Father-in-law Mingde is here."
Just as King Pingyi was about to continue with Zhao Xiyan, a report suddenly came from outside the door.
