Chapter 83 - The Smell of Poison
Yun Qianyu’s gaze moved from Yun Qianxue to Xiao Tianyi. The man also saw Yun Qianxue acting abnormally. However, he didn’t think that Yun Qianxue had fallen for Xiao Jiuyuan. Instead, he thought that Yun Qianxue was frightened by Xiao Jiuyuan and didn’t dare to look at Xiao Jiuyuan.
Since he thought that Yun Qianxue had a timid personality.
With just a glance, Yun Qianyu understood what Xiao Tianyi was thinking about. A sarcastic smile appeared on Yun Qianyu’s face as she looked on.
When Yun Qianyu finally turned around, she saw that Xiao Jiuyuan was giving her a sarcastic look as though saying, still having fun when your head’s on the chopping block?
Yun Qianyu’s face darkened and wanted to ask Xiao Jiuyuan, are you a mind reader? How could you know everything I was thinking?
Xiao Jiuyuan then said, “If you can’t find the real culprit and prove your innocence, don’t expect me to protect you. On the contrary, I will personally send you to prison.”
Hearing this, Yun Qianyu’s face became stern. She knew that Xiao Jiuyuan would not protect her, so can you stop poking me with words?
Yun Qianyu then said calmly, “I will find out who the real culprit is, so unfortunately your Highness, I will not be going to prison today.”
At this time, the sounds of footsteps came from outside. Zhao Qingshan, the housekeeper, led a group of people to the hall.
“Old madam, Marquis, Princes, these are the people who have been to the general kitchen today.”
In the hall, no one spoke. They all looked at Yun Qianyu, not knowing how she was going to find the real culprit.
Yun Qianyu walked around slowly. Although she was wearing a white coarse cloth skirt, and her face covered with a piece of white gauze, she still walked and acted in a dignified manner.
Even though her face was destroyed, she was still very attractive.
Yun Qianyu then said, “Hua Mei.”
Immediately Hua Mei rushed to Yun Qianyu’s side and said, “Miss.”
“Go and pick some marigold and peony from the garden immediately.”
“Yes, Miss,” Hua Mei immediately went off after hearing the order. Everyone in the main hall did not know what Yun Qianyu was going to do.
Without looking at anyone, Yun Qianyu said with a stern face, “I guess if I look weak, people will try to harm me. Today I’ll find out who dared to try and kill me.”
Many of the servants in the main hall were pale and sweating.
Although they didn’t do it, the stern look on the eldest young miss still frightened them. They were afraid that they would get into trouble and didn’t dare to look up.
Soon Hua Mei came back with some marigold and peony. Yun Qianyu grabbed the flowers and ordered Hua Mei to get some water.
Yun Qianyu mashed the flowers and dripped the juices into a cup. She then looked at physician Lin and asked.
“Physician Lin, since you can recognize Bone Rotting Flower and Thunder Duke Vine, you can also smell it. Later, I will use this water to smear each of their hands then I want you to check carefully to find out who has contacted the two substances. That person would be the one that did the poisoning.”
Without even waiting for a response from physician Lin, she turned to look down on the kneeling servants and said, “Put all your hands out.”
