What color were the shards that Gu Qi Sha picked up? Were they both black and white?
No, these shards were actually still white. They were the original color of the porcelain bottle and had not changed in the slightest!
The two piles of shards were placed next to each other on the tea table. The contrast between the two piles of shards, one black and one white, was extremely obvious. This was irrefutable evidence that no one could ignore.
This irrefutable evidence proved that only a full bottle could cause the porcelain bottle to change color. An eighty percent full bottle would not be able to do so.
On the other hand, the porcelain bottle that Han Yunxi had brought over was completely black. Therefore, the antidote that Long Fei Ye had taken from Gu Qi Sha was indeed a full bottle!
Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye were both shocked. The two of them looked at each other with different expressions. Han Yunxi had a serious expression while Long Fei Ye … remained expressionless!
Gu Qi Sha looked at them with admiration. However, admiration was one thing. This time, he had spent so much effort to come up with such an ingenious plan. Naturally, he would not let Long Fei Ye get away with it.
"Little girl, we only have fifty percent of the antidote left. That's why I used half of the antidote as an experiment and simulated two situations: a full bottle and an eighty percent full bottle. Only a full bottle would be able to cause the porcelain bottle to turn black. An eighty percent full bottle would not be able to do so. Are you satisfied with this evidence? "Gu Qi Sha patiently asked.
Han Yunxi stared at the shards without saying a word.
Gu Qi Sha was very smart. He was not in a hurry to point the finger at Long Fei Ye. Instead, he provoked Han Yunxi. He sneered, "Qin Wangfei, you're still a member of this circle. For a mere ten percent of the antidote, you came all the way here to trick me. You're really going all out, aren't you?"
Han Yunxi immediately looked up at him. She was clearly a little angry.
"What? The evidence is irrefutable and you still want to argue? How are you going to argue? Fortunately, I was careful. Otherwise, I don't know how badly I would have been slandered by you two! Tsk tsk tsk, this world is really dangerous! "Gu Qi Sha sighed.
Looking at Han Yunxi's solemn little face, Long Fei Ye, who was always calm, finally showed a worried expression.
He knew very well that he should defend himself against Gu Qi Sha's provocation but how was he supposed to defend himself?
Gu Qi Sha's trap was too professional. Even though he had learned a lot about the antidote from Medicine City's Elder Wang, he still couldn't guard against a genius pharmacist like Gu Qi Sha.
He hadn't underestimated Gu Qi Sha's professionalism, but he'd underestimated Gu Qi Sha's motives. He had a hunch that Gu Qi Sha had mixed things up and left a trick up his sleeve to lure Han Yunxi over.
"Aiya, Princess Consort, say something! Was it you who tricked me, or was it me who tricked you? What kind of debt are you here to collect? "Gu Qi Sha's tone was so exaggerated that anyone who heard it would have the urge to beat him up.
Long Fei Ye couldn't hold himself back from provoking Han Yunxi like this. Just as he was about to speak up, Han Yunxi angrily said, "Gu Qi Sha, have you had enough? Some people are shameless, and you're one of those shameless people! "
Gu Qi Sha was stunned. This little girl was still scolding him? The evidence was right in front of them, yet she still wasn't going to question Long Fei Ye?
Long Fei Ye was also surprised. He should have been nervous, but for some reason, a faint smile appeared on his face.
Just as Gu Qi Sha was about to argue his case, Han Yunxi was filled with righteous indignation. She picked up the rest of the fake powder and threw it at Gu Qi Sha. "Gu Qi Sha, this is what you call irrefutable evidence! What do you mean by I tricked you? You make it sound like you've never tricked anyone before! Let's talk about whether the bottle is full or not later. First, you'd better explain yourself! "
The powder covered Gu Qi Sha's black mask and even stuck to his long eyelashes. He should've been angry, but he couldn't bring himself to be angry when he saw this little girl's furious expression.
He had meticulously set up this trap and waited for half a year, so he didn't mind taking a step back.
He reached out and flicked his eyelashes. His hand was bony and his skin was dark, making him look extremely terrifying. However, his every movement was filled with a sense of elegance that couldn't be ignored.
He flicked the powder off his eyelashes, then slowly brushed the powder off his black mask. Only then did he speak, "Milord, I dare to lie. That's right, Milord, I did adulterate it! What do you think? "
His tone was both arrogant and arrogant, making Han Yunxi very uncomfortable. She sneered, "You're speaking so generously. If I didn't know better, I would've thought that you were admitting it willingly."
Not long ago, the two of them had engaged in an extremely calculative debate. She had spent a lot of effort to prove that he was the one who had mixed the fake powder, and that she and Long Fei Ye had not purposely added it.
Gu Qi Sha almost choked on his own saliva. Could this little girl's tongue be any sharper?
"What exactly do you want?" Gu Qi Sha asked.
"I'll compensate you ten times if it's fake!" Han Yunxi had already thought of this.
Gu Qi Sha was very generous. "Hehe, I can even compensate you a hundred times if it's fake, but I must find out exactly how much of it I've faked! If I haven't done it, Milord won't admit it! "
His words once again brought the topic back to the topic of 'quantity'.
According to the quantity of Serpent Fruit, the antidote they had concocted was only sixty percent. Long Fei Ye had only received forty percent, and the rest was all adulterated powder. Gu Qi Sha had taken out ten percent, and the remaining ten percent was still missing.
If Gu Qi Sha had hidden this ten percent, then he would have to compensate Han Yunxi twenty percent. If the twenty percent was fake, then he would have to compensate her ten percent, which was equivalent to two full bottles of the antidote.
If Long Fei Ye had hidden this ten percent, then Gu Qi Sha would only have to compensate Han Yunxi ten percent. If the ten percent was fake, then he would have to compensate her ten percent, which was equivalent to two full bottles of the antidote.
The antidote for Broomcorn Millet Poison was no ordinary item. Now that it was practically impossible to find the three missing ingredients, the compensation was no small matter.
Gu Qi Sha deliberately glanced at Long Fei Ye and smiled. "Isn't that right, Your Highness Duke of Qin?"
At this time, Han Yunxi looked at Long Fei Ye again. Her elegant face was as serious as when she was treating a poison, or perhaps even more so.
This wasn't the first time Long Fei Ye had found himself unable to see through this woman's eyes, but this was the first time he had been completely unable to see through her.
Why is Han Yunxi looking at me like this?
What is she thinking at this moment?
Long Fei Ye looked calm, but his fingers tapping on the table betrayed him.
This was the first time in his life that he felt uncomfortable under a woman's gaze!
Actually, Long Fei Ye needed to refute Gu Qi Sha right now, but how was he supposed to do so?
Gu Qi Sha was right, the evidence was irrefutable.
He could admit that he had taken a full bottle of antidote, but how was he supposed to explain where the remaining twenty percent had gone?
This woman in front of him was no fool. Moreover, after the commotion caused by Mu Ling'er on the way here, anyone would be able to link it to Mute Granny's incident!
After all, there was only one antidote for Broomcorn Millet Poison, and that was the antidote!
Long Fei Ye remained silent while Han Yunxi looked at him with a solemn expression. The atmosphere between the two of them gradually became tense.
"Your Highness Duke of Qin, please say something." Gu Qi Sha's' please 'seemed polite, but he was actually pressing him. "Your Highness Duke of Qin, you've been in a hurry to find the antidote for Broomcorn Millet Poison. You originally gave me a year's time limit, but later reduced it to half a year. I'm sure you're also in a hurry to detoxify the poison and save someone, right? Please don't bite me after saving someone. I've helped you find the antidote and concocted the medicine for you. Even if I haven't done anything, I've still worked hard, don't you think? "
Han Yunxi slowly knitted her brows when she heard this.
Long Fei Ye's brows furrowed even tighter when he saw Han Yunxi's complicated gaze. Only the heavens knew what kind of perilous waves were surging in his heart beneath his cold exterior!
"Aiya, Your Highness Duke of Qin, please say something! I really did give you a full bottle, so please hurry up and say something. Don't let esteemed wangfei misunderstand. I can't afford to compensate you! "Gu Qi Sha pretended to be on the verge of tears as he taunted.
Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi looked at each other in silence.
Gu Qi Sha was very fond of the current atmosphere. He sneered, "Stop putting on an act, you husband and wife. You know best how much medicine you have in your hands! In any case, I've only kept one portion for myself. If it's fake, I'll pay you ten times the price! As for the rest, I won't admit it! "
Unexpectedly, Han Yunxi's brows suddenly relaxed and she flashed a sly smile at Long Fei Ye.
She's figured it out!
She'd been looking at Long Fei Ye the entire time, trying very hard to find a flaw in his Iron Mountain Like A Mountain!
She never doubted Long Fei Ye at all. How could Long Fei Ye lie to her on this matter?
She firmly believed that Gu Qi Sha had only given her eighty percent of the medicine, so she'd been stubbornly thinking of a way to refute him and prove that there were flaws in his evidence.
She'd finally figured it out!
"Gu Qi Sha, neither this princess consort nor His Highness has admitted that these things are evidence! What are you so anxious about? "Han Yunxi said Coldly.
Long Fei Ye was very surprised. What is this woman trying to say?
Gu Qi Sha sucked in a breath of cold air. Most people refuse to shed tears until they see the coffin, but this girl doesn't even know the difference between life and death!
"If these aren't evidence, then what are they? Han Yunxi, even if you want to cheat, you shouldn't act like this, right? "Gu Qi Sha's tone had also turned cold.
"Only the heavens know if the vase you gave His Highness was originally black or not? You're even willing to do something like adulterating the vase. You're not a trustworthy person to begin with, so what else can't you do? "Han Yunxi raised her brows and retorted.
Long Fei Ye almost laughed out loud when he heard this, but Gu Qi Sha almost spat out a mouthful of blood. "Han Yunxi, you! You, you, you! "
"Me? What about me? How can you prove that the vase you gave me was originally white? How can you prove that these black stains weren't originally there? "Han Yunxi continued to ask.
Gu Qi Sha was really angry. This woman … What is this woman's brain made of? How is she so smart? She can even think of this flaw! I've thought about this for so long, but I didn't even consider this point!
Why doesn't this damned girl become a lawyer!
However, Gu Qi Sha quickly calmed down and said confidently, "Time! Han Yunxi, time can prove it! "
"The degree of damage is related to time. If you don't believe me, we can take the vase and test it again. There's definitely a difference between the original black vase and the one that was dyed black after being filled with medicine!" Gu Qi Sha explained seriously.
Han Yunxi laughed disdainfully. "Gu Qi Sha, forget it! You were the one who provided the vase, so who knows if you tampered with it or not? "
Gu Qi Sha really wanted to vomit blood. I've been wronged!
Things have already gotten to this point, so how can Han Yunxi not suspect Long Fei Ye? Must she really suspect him?
"Damned girl, since you're saying this, I have nothing else to say. In any case, I won't admit it! I just won't admit it! "Gu Qi Sha said angrily.
"It's not up to you to admit it!" Han Yunxi's tone became unyielding.
