Chapter 148 Unknown Trouble
When Lin Qingyang was receiving treatment in Yaowang Valley, he was in a coma for the first half of the time. Later, at the urging of his master, he went "traveling around" with Xiao Anwang. Not much is known about what Aying did during that time.
However, Xiao Wang An told him some things that happened when he was in a coma. At that time, his senior brother wrote a letter to the master and told him about his illness. The master specially asked Aying to accompany him to Yaowang Valley.
Perhaps, the master had some instructions.
Lin Qingyang looked at Ah Ying and asked the question in his mind, "Are you afraid that the poison will appear again? How does that poison compare to the poison I was poisoned with?"
Lin Qingyang actually didn't know much about the poison that had infected him.
Ying was happy to share.
"The poison you were poisoned with takes a long time to prepare, but the most it can do is kill someone."
Zhuang Weining couldn't help but ask, "Losing lives? That's the worst that can happen? Is there anything more harmful?"
Ah Ying continued, "I have also heard of a kind of poison. It is not something that ordinary people can make. It only appears once every twenty years. The person who is poisoned is sometimes sober and sometimes bewitched. The person cannot control his emotions and behavior. The person who poisoned him can control his consciousness. If one of them dies, the other will also die suddenly, unless the poison is removed."
Zhuang Weining asked: "So this means that both the person who poisoned the poison and the person who was poisoned will perish together. Controlling others also requires a price, but there is no danger, right?"
Ah Ying shook her head. "I also thought this poison was nothing at first, but after what the Medicine King Valley Master said, I think this poison is really powerful."
Zhuang Weining frowned and glanced at Lin Qingyang.
Lin Qingyang softly probed, "Could it be that the person my master once treated is in a high position and has great power?"
Zhuang Weining was stunned and saw Aying nodded.
Lin Qingyang asked: "Did my master tell me who the poisoned person was?"
Ah Ying shook her head. "He didn't say. He told me that he only developed the antidote and taught people the method. As for whether the person was detoxified, he didn't know because the method to remove the poison was very simple, but the antidote was not easy to develop. He didn't watch the person take the poison."
Zhuang Weining was shocked. "Suppose a general is poisoned by the enemy, then he may become a sinner for all eternity. If a powerful person is poisoned, he will be exploited by bad people and may even cause casualties. The injured people don't know who really wants to harm them. Maybe they will take revenge on the wrong person, causing chaos in the world."
This is something that cannot be thought about too deeply, the more you think about it the more horrifying it becomes.
The poisoned person will lose his own consciousness and become a puppet. He will do whatever others want him to do. The bad guys will do whatever they want with their identities. The poisoned person may do many things against his will.
Whether the poisoned person remembers what he has done after waking up, or perhaps regrets it, it is of no use.
Several girls felt that the matter was very serious.
Zhuang Weining said to A Ying, "It seems that your recent busyness is very necessary, so you should hurry up and develop your antidote. If someone really gets hurt, it will not be a joke."
Knowing what Ah Ying was busy with, Zhuang Weining and Lin Qingyang left.
On the way back, Zhuang Weining and Lin Qingyang rode in the same carriage.
"I haven't seen your brother for a long time. Logically, his leg should be fine. Why didn't he go to see your cousin?"
Lin Qingyang and Zhuang Weining talked about Zhuang Yunlin. It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone, and Zhuang Yunlin’s injury should not affect his movements.
"My brother has gone to the mountains to recuperate. He will probably be back soon."
The mountain is where Zhuang Yunlin had been "cultivating" as a child.
Zhuang Weining thought again of what Ah Ying had just said.
"You said your master is a great doctor, but how could he leave without confirming whether the patient took the medicine? Many years have passed. A doctor can't just leave the patient alone. What's more, the poisoned person will be controlled by others. How can someone not want to detoxify and let others manipulate them?"
Lin Qingyang was also curious, "Maybe the patient's identity is special and the master can't contact him, so he can't see whether the patient takes the medicine. Maybe the person who is poisoned can't harm others, so the master doesn't care. Or maybe the poison has been cured, but he doesn't want others to know. Maybe the person who is poisoned enjoys this poison very much!"
Zhuang Weining was shocked. "He is really a patient. There are people who know they are poisoned but don't want to cure it. What antidote are they looking for?"
The two of them chatted as they arrived home one after another.
The emperor sent people to investigate Xiao Caihe's affairs, the empress was under house arrest, and the prince was not allowed to leave the mansion. Everyone in the Xiao family was in danger. After all, the Xiao family had done a lot of "wrong" things because of the empress. The emperor was not unaware of this in the past but just didn't want to intervene. Now the prince was also implicated, and the Xiao family was also afraid.
Xiao Caihe was imprisoned and interrogated. The Xiao family also tried to find out more, but with Lin Meir's previous experience as a lesson, they didn't know what to do.
The Xiao family had no choice but to ask for help from their eldest brother-in-law, Prince Xiaoshun, who had just inherited the throne.
Whenever something happens to the Xiao family, Xiao Cailian will not be implicated. After all, even if the family's property is confiscated, it has nothing to do with married women. But now the disaster is caused by a married woman with an excellent reputation. It's just that the Xiao family itself has many problems. If they are really investigated strictly, the Xiao family will be guilty.
The people in Shunwang Mansion have always been cautious in their actions. Although the emperor did not make a big fanfare about the Xiao family's affairs, it still had a significant impact.
The head of the Xiao family was afraid of being involved too deeply in other matters, but he also tried his best to protect Xiao Caihe, and made it clear that it was impossible for a girl like her to know about poison, and she must have been framed.
For the same thing, the Xiao family and the Lin family approached it in completely different ways.
Xiao Caihe has lost the emperor's trust because of her fake pregnancy to win favor.
The emperor ordered people to interrogate Xiao Caihe, and Xiao Caihe admitted to faking pregnancy, but did not admit to poisoning.
The emperor didn't care whether the suspect confessed or not, he would just lock him up.
There is no wall that is impenetrable in this world. The queen was under house arrest in the palace. At first, she wanted to prevent the Xiao family from pleading for mercy, so the Xiao family didn't know about Xiao Caihe's affairs. But later they learned about the Xiao family's situation.
When the queen saw the emperor, she questioned him.
"Such a big thing happened to the Xiao family, but you didn't tell me. Not only did you put me under house arrest, you also locked Quan'er up in the Prince's Mansion. You are dissatisfied with the Xiao family, so why did you lock Caihe up?"
The queen smashed things as she spoke, and in a moment, the room was in a mess.
The emperor just watched coldly and listened quietly, no matter how "crazy" the queen was.
"You are angry with me and the Xiao family, why do you care about the younger generation?"
The queen questioned loudly, as if the person in front of her was not the emperor.
"Really? The Queen Mother's poisoning has nothing to do with you, and the poisoning of the two wives in the Crown Prince's Mansion has nothing to do with the Xiao family. Xiao Caihe's fake pregnancy is already a crime of deceiving the emperor. I just locked her up, not killed her. The Xiao family's affairs are over, but your Xiao family has intensified and there is no end in sight, so don't blame me."
