Chapter 721: Chapter 721 The Dregs of dicine Are Poisonous
Prince Pu did not na nas.
Xuexue also played dumb, continuing to leisurely sip her tea and nibble on pastries, her deanor completely relaxed and carefree.
Seeing this, Prince Pu was so angry that his beard bristled and his eyes glared, thinking to himself, ‘This damned girl has such thick skin. I’ve mocked her to this degree, yet she doesn’t react at all.’ He hated her deeply but was helpless to do anything about it.
Situ Yongjie glanced at the fuming Prince Pu and said, “My dear father-in-law, don’t worry; right after Auntie Tang’s incident, I had soone put away the dicine pot used for decocting.”
Everyone kept ntioning Auntie Tang here and Auntie Tang there, making Prince Pu very uncomfortable, yet he couldn’t refute them.
He snorted coldly and said irritably, “The dicine pot you put away, I really don’t trust it, who knows if you’ve switched it out?”
“Please rest assured, dear father-in-law. Even if I wanted to fake it, I couldn’t because every dicine pot in the General’s Mansion is marked, and faking it is impossible.”
“Humph!” Prince Pu snorted coldly and did not speak further.
Situ Yongjie turned his head to steward Uncle Zhong, “Uncle Zhong, bring over the two dicine pots that were put away yesterday.”
“Yes, Old Master.”
Uncle Zhong hurriedly walked out.
After a while, he ca in carrying two blackened dicine pots.
“Old Master, since the incident with Auntie Tang yesterday, I have been keeping these two pots locked in the cabinet without anyone touching them.” After saying this, Uncle Zhong placed the two dicine pots on the ground.
Situ Yongjie nodded. He had no doubt about Uncle Zhong’s loyalty to him.
“Doctor Fan, please take a look.”
“Mm.”
Doctor Fan stepped forward, crouched down, and examined the two dicine pots, frowning deeply at one of them.
All eyes in the room were intently fixed on him.
“Doctor Fan, is there sothing wrong with these dicine residues?” Aside from Doctor Wang, the most anxious person present was Prince Pu. His daughter, Lady Tang, was hard by the contents of these dicine pots and was still lying unconscious in bed! He was eager for revenge.
Doctor Fan nodded his head and pointed to one of the pots, “Yes, there’s a lethal poison in these residues.”
Prince Pu slapped his thigh hard and bellowed, “I have always said it! Soone must have poisoned my daughter’s dicine, and sure enough, look, look, the General’s Mansion is like a den of wolves, they’ve done terrible things to my daughter.”
After speaking, he hurled a series of angry accusations at Situ Yongjie, “Situ Yongjie, if you don’t give
a proper explanation today, I’ll lodge a formal complaint, and I won’t let my daughter suffer these injustices in vain.”
Situ Yongjie’s expression instantly darkened, and he said displeasedly, “Father-in-law, before the investigation is clear, do not make a rash fuss. Ruining the reputation of the General’s Mansion does no good for your daughter either.”
Prince Pu was burning with rage, “Pah! My daughter is almost poisoned to death, her life is uncertain, and you care about so damned reputation?”
War Prince slamd his hand on the table and shouted, “Enough, stop arguing, do you want to know the truth or not?”
Prince Pu retorted, “My daughter was nearly killed by their poison; the facts are right in front of us, what more truth do we need?”
“It’s absurd that you are a Prince and yet don’t even understand the basic rules of investigation.
“I don’t care; all I know is that there’s poison in these residues, and my daughter beca poisoned from drinking this dicine—that’s enough.”
“Doctor Fan simply said the residues are toxic; he has yet to say whose residues are toxic, are you so certain it was your daughter’s dicine pot?”
