Chapter 737: The Princess Scare People to Faint with One Move
When the wine glass was presented, King Zhuona took a sniff and then took out a silver needle specially used for testing poison from his sleeve to check it himself.
There was no change on the silver needle. In other words, it was non-toxic to him.
He also ordered people to cut off a small piece of red wood and mix it with wine. It was a very precious medicinal wood unique to the Vina tribe, which could not only be used as medicine, but also as a detoxification and poison test.
Because it is precious, it is not often used. Now, in an emergency, I pour the red wood wine into the cup and observe its color.
If the wine turns red, it means there is poison in the glass.
After a moment, the color of the wine in the cup remained unchanged.
Officer A couldn't help but say something ambiguous, "Isn't this wine glass poison-free?"
King Zhuona was also a little puzzled, "Is it possible that even Akagi wine cannot be tested for poison?"
Xiyue opened the handkerchief for testing poison to show the blood purple color on it, and respectfully explained, "In addition to the silver needle, we also use this handkerchief for testing. This handkerchief is soaked with special medicine, which was made by Shen Yuanshi of the Northern Wing Imperial Hospital. It can test the ten most difficult to find and the most difficult to cure poisons in the world. One of them is the secret poison of Wan State, 'Thousand Insect Powder'."
The implication is that if you can't test it, it's because your tools and methods are not good enough. He also specifically mentioned that it was the secret poison of Wan State, "Thousand Insect Powder", and explained in detail how toxic it was.
"Let me put it this way. If the princess had not been cautious, Prince Wazhen would have been devoured by the Thousand Insects Poison in three days, leaving only a piece of skin."
The whole audience was in uproar, and one of the pro-Wan officials looked particularly panicked. He had heard of this poison, but had never seen it.
When Booth came earlier, he boasted to them after drinking that the poison was still under development.
At that time, Booth said arrogantly, "If this poison succeeds, your king will be nothing but a human skin to this prince."
They never expected that the Thousand Insects Poison had already been prepared and was used on their Prince Wazhen.
But there are always people who don't believe it. Officer A said: "This is simply alarmist and nonsense! Even our king couldn't find the poison, but you can find it out with just a handkerchief?"
Shi Anxia raised her eyes and said calmly, "Since you don't believe in evil, then you can give it a try." She asked, "Your Majesty, is the red wood wine you just poured into the cup drinkable?"
"Of course." King Zhuona said, "Not only can it be drunk, it can also strengthen the body and has many benefits."
Shi Anxia smiled coldly, "Then please give this cup of wine to you, the official who doesn't believe in evil, to drink."
Officer A was shocked, "..."
It's just a verbal fight, it shouldn't be that cruel!
King Zhuona actually wanted to confirm it, "Come here, give me some wine!"
Upon hearing this, the maid picked up the cup of Akagi wine and walked towards Officer A step by step.
With every step she took, Officer A's pupils grew a little bigger.
Just as the maid walked to the table, Officer A suddenly twitched and fell backwards, fainting from fright.
The queen had long been disgusted with these officials, who had often been disrespectful to her. Moreover, the humiliation of her daughter Mu Sang was closely related to these officials.
She said leisurely, "The leaders of our Vina tribe usually speak loudly, but when it comes to the real thing, they either faint or get sick. Haha, I'm sorry to make Princess Haiyan laugh."
The officials who were affected were so angry that they gritted their teeth.
Shi Anxia sat at the table, raised his eyes and glanced at the tribal leaders present, "Who else doesn't believe in evil? Stand up!"
Who would dare to stand up at this time? Just now, Officer A and Officer B exchanged glances with each other, preparing to speak at length.
As a result, the princess frightened the man unconscious with just one move.
The atmosphere on the field was extremely cold.
King Zhuona believed it and frowned, "It's better to be safe than sorry! Princess Beiyi did the right thing. Thank you, Princess, for saving my son's life!"
Prince Wazhen also stepped forward and knelt on one leg, "Thank you, Princess, for saving my life."
Shi Anxia did not intend to pursue the officials relentlessly at this time. He just sat quietly in his seat and signaled Bei Hui and others to continue checking.
Soon, Xiyue said loudly, "'Thousand Insect Powder' was found in Princess Musang's dishes."
Dongxi reported, "'Thousand Insect Powder' was found on Princess Mu Su's chopsticks."
Hong Que's face turned pale, and she grabbed Shi Anxia's sleeve tightly. Oh my God, she has only been a princess for an hour, and someone wants to take her life. This life is unbearable!
Nanyan reported, "'Thousand Insect Powder' was found on Princess Haiyan's dishes."
"'Thousand Insect Powder' was found on the Prince Consort's wine glass."
"'Thousand Insect Powder' was found on the wine glasses of Lord Tang and Lord Ma..."
As reports were made one after another, except for a few officials, all the utensils and appliances of everyone in the room were dotted with "Thousand Insect Powder".
Shi Anxia ordered coldly, "Check the utensils on King Zhuona."
Xiyue left in response and replied after a moment that there was also "Thousand Insect Powder" on the utensils of King Zhuona and Queen.
The whole audience was shocked.
"It seems like they are going to catch us all in one fell swoop and change the throne." Shi Anxia looked up at the officials whose utensils were non-toxic, "Tell me, why are your utensils non-toxic?"
Officials: "..."
King Zhuona came to his senses and flew into a rage, "Come on, take them down!"
The officials all knelt down in fear, "Your Majesty, calm down!"
Officer B lowered his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, I may know who did this."
"Speak!" King Zhuna looked at the queen with lingering fear, and both saw a kind of panic in each other's eyes after surviving a disaster.
Officer B stammered, "Two days ago, when Prince Wazhen came back, Guji found her subordinates and promised to give them a huge reward, asking them to... to cooperate with her to kill Prince Wazhen and Princess Musang."
Officer Bing was sweating profusely, "My subordinate... Gu Ji also came to me."
Officer A woke up slowly and said, "There are still subordinates, subordinates..."
Ma Chuyang said sarcastically, "No wonder you tried so hard to prevent our princess from checking just now."
The officials all prostrated themselves on the ground.
Officer A trembled and defended, "Your Majesty, I didn't expect Gu Ji to be so bold. I rejected her and thought she would just give up. I didn't expect... She actually used 'Thousand Insect Powder' to poison Your Majesty."
At this moment, one of King Zhuona's personal guards rushed into the hall in a hurry, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's bad! Guji led the people of the Luming Tribe to surround Lingyin Square!"
Lingyin Square is the square outside the palace. It is usually a place for tribal residents to gather and celebrate, but now it has become a battlefield.
Prince Wazhen accidentally broke a cup in a panic and said in a trembling voice, "How can this be! Father, there is no time to lose, we must take action immediately. Guji's move is obviously a naked challenge to the royal power, and we must not tolerate it."
King Zhuona had a serious expression on his face. "Everyone, the Luming tribe has always lived in peace with our Vina tribe. What happened today must be fishy. Wazhen, go and gather the palace guards quickly to ensure the safety of the royal family and Princess Beiyi and her entourage. The rest of the officials, follow me to Lingyin Square. I want to personally question Guji why he did such a treacherous thing."
Prince Wazhen was about to accept the order when he heard the guards say, "Your Majesty, the chief of the palace guards, Canglong, has rebelled, and is now working with Guji to force our king to abdicate."
