Your Majesty, the princess is fleeing famine with her child!

Chapter 324 The Chopsticks Are Poisonous

Xiao Jingyi took one look at the two corpses and instantly understood.

He gestured towards Tianquan.

Tian Quan understood and immediately walked towards the woman who was working there.

After searching her face for a while, he peeled off a human skin mask.

Tian Quan did the same thing and soon removed the human skin mask on the other helper's face.

The postmaster looked at the two unfamiliar faces under the human skin masks, and then at the neighbors whose bodies had already fallen cold beside him. There was nothing he didn't understand.

The damn thief actually killed the helpers he hired, then disguised himself as them and sneaked into the post station.

Fortunately, it was only a prisoner they were targeting.

If it was His Royal Highness Prince Yi who was poisoned today...

The postmaster felt a chill on his back and didn't dare to think about it any further.

Just at this moment, Wen Zhao woke up slowly.

His eyes were blurred and for a moment he seemed to not know where he was.

He soon remembered that before he passed out, he had unbearable cramps in his lower abdomen and black blood kept gushing out of his mouth and nose.

So is he dead?

Was he poisoned to death?

Who wanted to poison him?

Could it be Xiao Jingyi? As soon as this thought came to mind, it was rejected by Wen Zhao.

If Xiao Jingyi wanted to kill him, he had many ways to do it. Why did he have to poison him secretly?

Moreover, even if he didn't kill me, once I was escorted to the capital, my identity as the young master of the Moon Clan who intended to rebel would mean death.

Why did Xiao Jingyi go through so much trouble and dirty his hands?

Could it be...

no, I can not.

Wen Zhao forced himself not to think about it anymore.

"Wake up..." A gentle and clear female voice suddenly sounded beside Wen Zhao.

Wen Zhao's eyes suddenly became clearer.

He looked in the direction of the sound and saw an extremely beautiful face looking at him with a smile.

Wen Zhao quickly recognized that this woman was Princess Yi.

Then, the faces of Xiao Jingyi and others came into his sight one by one.

Wen Zhao realized belatedly that he was not dead, he was saved by someone!

Before Wen Zhao could feel happy, he saw two familiar faces in the crowd.

His pupils shrank slightly.

The two men were tied up and unexpectedly made eye contact with Wen Zhao, then looked away uncomfortably the next moment.

Xiao Jingyi saw their interaction and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

He signaled Tianquan to drag the two men to Wen Zhao.

"Let our Moon Clan Young Master identify the man. After all, this is the murderer who poisoned him and wanted to kill him!"

Wen Zhao was shocked when he heard this, his eyes full of disbelief.

Were these two the ones who poisoned him?

how come?

They are all the imperial master’s confidants!

Could it be that the national teacher...

Wen Zhao's world seemed to be turned upside down, and his heart was suddenly filled with turmoil.

He couldn't believe this was true.

It was Xiao Jingyi who was instigating. Yes, it must be Xiao Jingyi who was instigating!

Wen Zhao tried hard to convince himself.

Who would have thought that the next moment, Yun Fuling would say, "So the poison was put on the chopsticks. This is a very clever move!"

After Yun Fuling saved Wen Zhao, she began to examine the bowl of noodle soup that Wen Zhao had eaten.

She was very curious why the guards found no poison in the noodle soup after testing it with a silver needle, but Wen Zhao was poisoned after eating it.

Finally, the clue was found on the chopsticks.

If you look closely at the chopsticks in the sun, you will find a faint blue glow, which is a sign that they have been soaked in poison.

At first, there was nothing wrong with the bowl of noodle soup that was served.

So no matter how the guards tested, they could not find any poison.

However, when eating noodles, once the chopsticks come into contact with the soup noodles, the poison soaked in the chopsticks will seep into the noodles.

The originally non-toxic soup noodles immediately became poisonous.

After Yun Fuling's explanation, everyone immediately understood where the bowl of poisonous noodle soup came from.

Xiao Jingyi sneered and said, "That's really a good idea!"

He looked at Wen Zhao, his eyes filled with sympathy and pity.

Wen Zhao now completely understood.

It wasn't Xiao Jingyi who was plotting against him, but their own people who wanted to kill him!

Seeing the pity in Xiao Jingyi's eyes again, Wen Zhao's heart seemed to be pierced by thousands of arrows, and the belief he had held for so long collapsed in an instant.

His whole body collapsed at this moment, and he suddenly jumped up and pounced on the two people who poisoned him.

"why?"

"I am your young master!"

"How dare you commit treason and murder the monarch!"

"How dare you?"

The guards on the side were quick to act and subdue Wen Zhao in time.

Although Wen Zhao was pinned down, he couldn't help struggling and roaring.

This kind of thing would be unacceptable to anyone.

"It's the Imperial Master..."

"Did the Imperial Master ask you to come?"

"How dare a humble subject like me poison your Majesty?"

"I am your young master! Instead of trying to rescue me, you want me dead!"

Wen Zhao's eyes were bloodshot and he looked like a raging lion.

The two Moon Clan members who were carrying out the poisoning mission lowered their heads and did not dare to meet Wen Zhao's eyes.

Faced with Wen Zhao's questioning, he couldn't utter a word.

If they could commit suicide at this moment, they would have done so long ago.

But after they were caught, when they wanted to bite the poison sacs hidden in their teeth to commit suicide, someone took advantage of them and removed their jaws, taking out the poison sacs hidden in their teeth.

Now they were pinned down and unable to move, so they didn't even have the chance to commit suicide.

Xiao Jingyi waved his hand and ordered his men to take the two month old tribesmen away for interrogation.

As for Wen Zhao, he was put back into the prison van.

Xiao Jingyi glanced at Zuo Yan, who understood and immediately followed him into the house.

As soon as he entered the room, Zuo Yan said, "Wen Zhao is useless."

Xiao Jingyi nodded.

Those two Moon Clan members must have been instructed by the Moon Clan's national teacher to poison Wen Zhao.

After all, Wen Zhao is the young master of the Moon Clan and has an extraordinary status, which also means something special to those Moon Clan members who intend to restore their country.

How could an ordinary member of the Moon Clan have the guts to murder the young master?

I'm afraid I don't even dare to think about it.

Unless this was an order from the Moon Clan’s Imperial Master.

According to the information they have, although Wen Zhao is the young master of the Moon Clan, the power of the entire Moon Clan is in the hands of the national teacher.

Therefore, the Moon Clan's Imperial Master might have the idea of ​​getting rid of Wen Zhao and replacing him.

Moreover, from the roar that Wen Zhao made after his collapse just now, the two people who came to poison him were both trusted confidants of the Moon Clan’s National Master.

"I was thinking of using Wen Zhao as bait to lure out those Moon Clan members. It would be even better if we could use this to capture the Moon Clan's Imperial Master."

"I didn't expect that the Moon Clan was so cruel. Not only did they never rescue their young master, but now they are even trying to poison him to death!"

Xiao Jingyi sighed and shook his head.

"This card is useless." Xiao Jingyi looked up at Zuo Yan and said, "The national teacher obviously intends to give up on him. It is impossible for him to waste troops to rescue him."
