Chapter 264: Chapter 267 Infant Blood Poison
Yun Qianyu naturally noticed the look in Xiao Jiuyuan’s eyes, but she didn’t pay him any attention. Instead, she furrowed her eyebrows and thought about the Ancient Prescription of Ten-thousand Poisons in her mind. The poisons described in this book were very complete.
Yun Qianyu believed that the thing affecting Xiao Jiuyuan’s body would definitely be recorded in that ancient text.
‘What kind of poison can devour a person’s spiritual energy, but wouldn’t be noticed under normal circumstances?’
After a quick search, Yun Qianyu found something that seemed to match the description, a very sinister poison which required feeding a fetus with nine poisons, and then refining the poison from the baby’s blood. Since the baby’s blood itself was the poison, it was very hard to detect it as it could blend into the victim’s blood. Unless the poison was active, it would never be detected.
‘Is this the poison affecting Xiao Jiuyuan?’
With an earnest look, Yun Qianyu looked toward Xiao Jiuyuan and explained slowly, “Your Highness may have become poisoned with the Infant Blood Poison.”
“Infant Blood Poison?”
Upon hearing the name, Xiao Jiuyuan knew that this poison was not something simple. He looked intently toward Yun Qianyu, obviously eager for her to explain what the poison was.
“The Infant Blood Poison is made out of nine rare poisons. Do you know how evil this poison is? Using the nine kinds of poison, the maker would feed it to a pregnant woman. Since the poison is introduced early on, the fetus becomes used to it and integrates the poison into its blood. Ultimately, the mother gives birth to the baby which is a poisoned infant.
After the infant is born, the maker extracts the poisonous blood which is running through the infant’s veins. Since the poison is mainly blood, it is very hard to detect. This means that the victims would slowly deteriorate and die in the end, without ever knowing what the cause of death was.”
“As for your regressing spirit energy, this should be caused by the gradual failure of your body. Since your body is becoming weaker, it wouldn’t be able to support greater amounts of spirit energy.”
After Yun Qianyu explained it, the carriage fell quiet.
Soon Xiao Jiuyuan became furious and he punched into the wall of the carriage. Even though his hand was bleeding, he did not seem to notice it.
“I will definitely investigate this. I will find out who has done this to this Prince.”
After saying that, he looked at Yun Qianyu and asked, “Is there a way to deal with this poison?”
“If it is confirmed that you’re poisoned by this poison, I can deal with it.”
Since she had all the knowledge of the ancient poisons, naturally, there were ways of dealing with them. However, the herbs used to make the medicine were very rare. Feeling grateful for what Xiao Jiuyuan did, Yun Qianyu made up her mind that she would definitely help him if she could.
This was to repay him for saving Hua Mei and her cousin.
Yun Qianyu looked at Xiao Jiuyuan and explained further, “This poison works fast. Every time the poison becomes active, your body will deteriorate a little. Ultimately when your body had failed enough, no physician would be able to save you.”
After she said that, Yun Qianyu noticed that Xiao Jiuyuan was visibly more furious.
Xiao Jiuyuan was not afraid of death, but he needed to know how he was killed.
‘Who could have poisoned me? Everyone around me has been screened and tested.’
Yun Qianyu knew that Xiao Jiuyuan was suffering right now. Not only did he have to deal with the betrayal from someone close to him, he also had to deal with this poison which was slowly killing him.
