No poison!
The results of the scan showed no poison!
Han Yunxi sucked in a cold breath as she stared blankly at the tea leaves. In an instant, her back was drenched in sweat.
No poison!
No poison at all!
How …
No one present knew what she'd done, but she stared at the tea leaves with an unsightly expression. Madame Li immediately spoke up. "Esteemed wangfei, are you going to start testing for poison?"
Han Yunxi raised her head only to see Madame Li's eyes flash with ridicule. It was obvious that she'd done it on purpose. Madame Li had to be the culprit, but these tea leaves …
"Esteemed wangfei, hurry and test it!" Han Ruoxue urged as well.
Mu Liuyue wasn't so patient. Cold, she said, "Han Yunxi, say something! Why aren't you speaking again? What, you make it sound so nice, but when it's time to test for poison, you wilt? You're just scaring people! Playing with people? Don't think you're all that just because you're Qin Wangfei. I'm telling you, if you don't find anything today, this young lady will go to the empress dowager and sue you for slander! "
As soon as she heard the words "empress dowager," Grand Concubine Yi grew unwell. Her temper flared up as she demanded, "Han Yunxi, what's wrong with you? Are you going to test or not?"
Han Yunxi looked at them with knitted brows. On one side, Mu Qingwu and Chu Xifeng were as anxious as ants on a hot pan. Although they didn't know what esteemed wangfei had done, her expression suggested that … that the tea leaves weren't poisoned.
Aiya, I told her so long ago. Why didn't she believe me? What to do now? It's hard to get off the tiger now!
Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted, "May esteemed wangfei test for poison, don't wrongly accuse a good person.
Following that, more and more people chimed in. "May esteemed wangfei test for poison, don't wrongly accuse a good person.
Without a doubt, Han Yunxi had become the target of a multitude of arrows. She grit her teeth tightly. Everyone assumed that she'd run out of moves, but it wasn't long before she ordered coldly, "Someone come, bring hot water and soak these tea leaves! This princess will now test the poison for everyone to see! "
If the scanner could not detect the poison, it was possible that there was no poison. However, there was another possibility, and that was that the Li Consortium's method of poisoning was so tricky that even the detoxification system could not detect it.
She vaguely remembered that she had once seen a method of testing Ten-Thousand Snake Poison in an ancient book. No matter how much Ten-Thousand Snake Poison there was, it could be tested in an instant.
There was no Ten-Thousand Snake Poison in the modern era. She had never experimented with it and did not know if it would work. However, at this time, she did not care so much. This was a method that could not be helped. She could only brace herself and try.
Since he had already given it his all, he might as well fight to the end!
In the understanding of most people, making tea to test for poison was nothing more than finding someone to drink tea to test the poison. This was a very simple method. As long as they tested it, the results would be out. Therefore, everyone was nervous.
However, Madam Li sneered in her heart. Of course, she knew that Han Yunxi wouldn't be stupid enough to use the simplest method to test for poison.
She was the one who saved Mu Qingwu. She should know that once the Ten-Thousand Snake Poison entered the human body, it would not erupt without several years of accumulation.
She thought that Han Yunxi might have used some kind of secret weapon to make the tea. It was a very powerful poison testing needle, poison testing stone, or something like that.
If the poison did not enter the human body, even if it was only a tiny amount, it could still be detected by those poison testing tools. However, the poison she used was different.
Even the most powerful poison testing stone in the world would not be able to detect the Ten-Thousand Snake Poison she used!
A trace of disdain appeared on Madam Li's lips as she waited patiently.
Soon, the attendant brought hot water and a tea tray. However, who knew that Han Yunxi would say, "I don't want a teacup. Bring a big bowl."
Big bowl?
What did she want to do?
Everyone was very puzzled. The ridicule on Madam Li's lips became even stronger. She couldn't be using a big bowl to make tea because she wanted to brew more poison, right? She was really stupid!
It seemed that not only did the master overestimate this lass, but she also overestimated her.
The attendant immediately changed to a big bowl. Soon, a big bowl of tea was brewed and placed on a small table.
Everyone looked over, waiting to see what Han Yunxi would do next. Would she find someone to drink tea to test the poison, or would she take out some poison testing stone to test it?
However, who knew that Han Yunxi would say again, "Someone, catch a goldfish. I want it alive!"
She didn't need anyone or any poison testing tools, but she actually used a goldfish?
However, the principle of testing for poison was the same. Madam Li was still unperturbed. A goldfish's resistance was much lower than a human's, but so what? Han Yunxi would still be disappointed.
Soon, the attendant immediately brought a goldfish that was alive and kicking. Everyone had been waiting for a long time and couldn't wait to see the results.
Han Yunxi took the goldfish and walked to the front of the tea. Once again, she took a deep breath.
She knew that everyone was very nervous at this moment, but she was more nervous than anyone else.
Whether or not the records in the ancient texts were true or false, whether or not it had any effect, and what her fate would be, all depended on this one action. Once she put the fish in, everything would be decided!
Perhaps it was because the fish was struggling too hard, or because her hands were trembling, but she couldn't control herself. She lowered her hand and steeled her heart to place the fish in the tea.
In a flash, countless gazes gathered on her. Han Yunxi looked down as well and saw the fish scurrying about as soon as it entered the water. At the same time, she saw her own reflection in the tea, her pale face pale.
The fish was swimming …
Would it be poisoned? Would it die?
Everyone couldn't take their eyes off her. Even Mu Qingwu and Chu Xifeng forgot to guard against Madame Li as they looked over nervously. Grand Concubine Yi had drawn close to stare as well.
Han Yunxi's heart was pounding like a drum. Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump. As the fish swam, her heart beat faster and faster until it was hard to breathe.
Time passed bit by bit. Sometimes the fish swam, sometimes it stopped. Everything was normal.
Madam Li's lips drew up into a mocking smile. "Esteemed wangfei, how long are you going to examine it until you're done?"
"I reckon it'll take until daybreak? Heheh. " Mu Liuyue laughed as well. It'd been so long. If there was poison, the goldfish would've died long ago. The tea wasn't poisonous at all, so Han Yunxi had lied too much!
"Aiya, this is tea. If you examine it until daybreak, the goldfish might not survive," Han Xue said with relief. Han Ruoxue also felt relieved and reminded him with a smile. After all, tea was not clear water. The goldfish could only survive in the tea for four to six hours before dying naturally.
Han Yunxi gritted her teeth and ignored them, keeping her eyes on the goldfish. She didn't even realize that her forehead had long been covered in sweat.
It'd been half the time it took to brew a cup of tea, but the goldfish was still alive. Could it be that the ancient records were fake? Was she destined to fall into the hands of these women today?
"Han Yunxi, you should announce the results of the examination!" Grand Concubine Yi reminded coldly. She couldn't wait to see Han Yunxi honor her bet.
Han Yunxi kept her head bowed and didn't reply.
Mu Liuyue giggled. "Aiya, it's just a bet. If you agree to bet, you have to accept your loss. There's no meaning in dragging it out like this!"
"Han Yunxi! Do you hear me? I'm ordering you! "Grand Concubine Yi said sternly. She didn't want to waste any more time.
The goldfish swam happily in the tea. Han Yunxi stared and stared until she finally closed her eyes and slowly, very slowly, lifted her head.
Seeing this, the crowd rejoiced in her misfortune and mocked her.
But!
Suddenly, Chu Xifeng cried out, "There's a situation! Esteemed wangfei, look, there's a situation!"
A situation?
Han Yunxi's eyes flew open and she lowered her head to see … .the goldfish was still swimming, but it seemed to have lost its balance. Multiple times, it tilted to one side.
Without a doubt, this was a sign that its stomach was about to flip!
Han Yunxi's heart pounded uncontrollably as if it was going to jump out of her chest. There's a chance! There's a chance!
She clutched at her chest in agitation, not daring to blink as she stared fixedly at the goldfish. At the same time, the crowd was stunned as well. They all looked over again, including the self-confident Madame Li. She looked in disbelief and shook her head.
How could this be? She didn't believe it. She didn't believe it. The goldfish wouldn't die, it wouldn't!
However, very soon, the goldfish stopped swimming. It stopped in the water and flipped over again and again, as if it was making its final struggle against the Grim Reaper. Unfortunately, after a few flips, it flipped over completely. Its pale white belly was exposed on the surface of the water. Then, little black spots appeared from the pale white. Gradually, there were more and more of them, and they became denser and denser. After a short while, the entire fish belly turned black.
Heavens!
In an instant, the onlookers all drew in a cold breath. The goldfish was dead and had turned black. It was poisoned!
Han Yunxi was too surprised by this outcome. She wasn't sure if it would succeed. Moreover, she was really frightened just now.
At this moment, her heart was still pounding wildly and she couldn't calm down for a long time.
Of course, she wouldn't forget about the proper business. Once the poison was revealed, it was very easy to test what kind of poison it was. She hurriedly took out a golden needle and collected the blood stains on the fish's stomach.
"Who can test what kind of poison this is!" Han Yunxi asked loudly.
Someone from the crowd immediately responded, "I'll do it!"
An elderly man walked up and seriously looked at the goldfish's stomach. He then used his finger to touch the poisonous blood. After smelling it, he said with certainty, "This is snake poison. When multiple snake poisons are mixed together, it's known as the Ten-Thousand Snake Poison!"
There were really experts among the people!
Han Yunxi was overjoyed, "I believe everyone has seen it clearly. This tea is poisonous. It's the Ten-Thousand Snake Poison that the Young General was poisoned with!"
Once this was said, the crowd slowly recovered from their shock and immediately started discussing.
"Oh my god, if he drank this all year round, then one day he would end up like this fish …"
"This is too scary. This method is too sinister! How despicable! "
"Madam Li and her daughter are really murderers! This is too scary! I didn't expect this! "
… …
Madam Li stood far away. She was confident in her poison skills, but she never thought that a mere goldfish would be able to break her poison skills.
The poisoning skills that she was most proud of and the reason that she had been calm and composed all along had been completely shattered. She had been completely denied. Although she was unwilling to believe it, she had nothing to say about this result. She had no choice but to accept it!
Han Ruoxue stared blankly at the dead goldfish. She couldn't believe what she saw with her own eyes. The tea was poisonous. Mother had been using her to poison the Young General?
"Mother, you …"
Han Ruoxue didn't even have time to make things difficult for Madam Li. Who knew that Mu Liuyue would suddenly pounce over and violently grab Han Ruoxue's hair, "B * tch! You actually dared to do this! To think I trusted you so much, you b * tch! I'm going to kill you! "
Mu Liuyue was as angry as a little beast. She pounced over and directly pulled out a lock of Han Ruoxue's hair.
