Chapter 194 A Prophecy Come True

Moreover, Marquis Zhenyuan did indeed go to the palace before his disappearance and discussed important matters with his ministers. Could it be that he poisoned him?

Does Gu Yuan have accomplices in the palace?

Jiang Zhi frowned deeply.

Yu Jiuxia pondered for a moment, then asked, "Are you afraid?"

"I'm afraid." Jiang Zhi faced his own heart and glanced at Yu Jiuxia. "How could I not be afraid? But being afraid won't change anything. I still have to accept this outcome. Rather than being forced to accept it, I'd rather uncover it myself."

Yu Jiuxia lowered her eyes, silently agreeing with Jiang Zhi's point of view.

The White Horse Temple is extremely large, so the place they would choose to visit the Tibetans must not be an inconspicuous one. Finally, they found footprints on the outer wall of the White Horse Temple.

Following the footprints, we found a dilapidated thatched hut.

The house was empty except for a thin man lying on the thatched floor.

Jiang Zhi suppressed her pounding heart, grabbed Yu Jiuxia's hand, and the two walked closer, seeing each other clearly.

She remembered that her father wasn't usually this thin and frail. How come he had changed so much in just a short time?

Why is the lucky charm I gave to my father not valid anymore?

Tears streamed silently down Jiang Zhi's face. For a moment, even the light outside the door seemed too bright, hurting her eyes.

"princess?"

"Are you ok?"

Yu Jiuxia's tone revealed her heartache.

Jiang Zhi gently wiped away her tears, offering no explanation, but instead said, "Jiuxia, I'm sorry to have troubled you with my father's death."

This was something Yu Jiuxia excelled at, and she spoke with an air of complete confidence: "I've dealt with corpses since I was a child. Don't worry, I'll definitely find out for you."

An incense stick has burned out.

"The test results are in."

"I found a deadly poison in the bones of an adult."

Jiang Zhi wiped his eyes, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "If a deadly poison in the bone has been there for many years, say eleven years, can it still be detected?"

Yu Jiuxia immediately understood what she wanted to say, straightened up, and said, "If the poison had not penetrated deep into the bone marrow, it might have left no trace after so many years. But the poison in Lord Zhenyuan's body is something that even I need to be extremely careful about."

"Moreover, Lord Zhenyuan had no illnesses before his death. It is impossible for a mild poison to kill a man in his prime."

At this point, Jiang Zhi followed up with, "So, in your mind, is there any poison that can kill someone but whose effects are not immediately apparent?"

Yu Jiuxia recalled that her father had cautiously mentioned this poison years ago. She was too young then to understand why her father was afraid of it.

"There is a type of eagle that feeds on venomous snakes. Its excrement is poisonous. If one is poisoned by this, one can use ox horn ground into powder to detoxify. However, if it is put into wine, the toxicity will be increased hundreds of times. Moreover, it is colorless and odorless, and even silver needles cannot detect it. No one can save you then."

"I heard my father mention it briefly when I was a child, and later I saw it recorded in an ancient book he left behind. I found it very memorable and remembered it. Then, something happened in my family, and the ancient book disappeared. Anyway, it's a record from a very, very long time ago."

It makes sense that it was from a long time ago, so she had never heard of this kind of poison.

Put it in the wine? The Marquis of Zhenyuan was taken to the palace by them for a meeting. Among people like them, there is no shortage of formalities, so how could they not drink wine as a courtesy?

Could it be that the Marquis of Zhenyuan drank their wine?
