The old poison doctor turned his back and hesitated.

Qin Chengqian kept asking, "If you know, tell me! You will definitely get the benefits!"

The old poison doctor was still hesitant. "This is not about money, this is about life."

Qin Chengqian immediately assured, "Just tell me, I won't betray you! You can rest assured!"

As he said this, he pulled the old poison doctor into a corner and gave him more banknotes. "Take this money and run away. Who can kill you?"

The old poison doctor looked at the thick stack of banknotes and was finally tempted.

He then immediately closed the shop and was alone in the room with Qin Chengqian. He took out the treasure box, opened it layer by layer, and took out a medicine bottle.

"This is the kind of poison you were talking about, heartbreak."

"I chose this name myself because once you're poisoned, the onset is worse than death, with excruciating pain that pierces your heart and bones."

Qin Chengqian took the medicine bottle, his brows furrowed. "Broken Heart? Is this poison common? Why have I never heard of it?"

The old poison doctor poured a cup of tea and drank, "Of course you haven't heard of it. This poison was also obtained by me with great effort in the past year."

"Do you know Mo Xuzi, the world's most ruthless killer?"

Qin Chengqian nodded, "I've heard of it."

The old poison doctor nodded. "That's right, this poison was made by him! The poison he made is simply not available to ordinary people."

"I heard that after he died, many of his poison recipes were circulated. I went through a lot of trouble to get this poison recipe and made it myself!"

"I've tested this poison, and the symptoms are exactly as you described. Only the Tianshan Buddha Lotus can cure it."

"If the poison was heavy, it could be detected by taking the pulse, but the good thing is that it's a chronic poison. Only a small amount is needed at a time. If someone takes it for a long time, when it attacks, it will just feel like a common headache."

"Except for the Tianshan Buddha Lotus, there is almost no antidote."

"The deeper the poisoning, the more Tianshan Buddha Lotus is needed. Long-term use is required to completely detoxify."

"If the poisoning is not serious, then it will heal quickly."

Hearing this, Qin Chengqian tightly gripped the medicine bottle, his throat tightening.

"What if there is no Tianshan Buddha Lotus?"

The old poison doctor laughed and said, "Without the Tianshan Buddha Lotus, then of course you are just waiting to die."

"This poison is extremely painful when it attacks. It hurts so much that I want to smash my head. If there is no antidote, it is better to die early. The sooner I die, the sooner I will be free."

Hearing this, Qin Chengqian's anger was already burning.

He tried his best to endure it and asked again: "Where else has this poison appeared before?"

The old poison doctor shook his head. "I don't know about that. Mo Xuzi's poison, that's something Mo Xuzi himself has to know how to use."

"But I remember Huichuntang bought a large amount of Tianshan Buddha Lotus before. I guess it was for use as an antidote."

"I heard that it wasn't cheap for them to collect that batch of Tianshan Buddha Lotus."

"I wonder who can afford so many Tianshan Buddha Lotuses."

"From this, I can infer that the Broken Heart poison must have appeared in Kyoto City a long time ago!"

Hearing these words, Qin Chengqian's knuckles turned white and veins bulged.

Jiang Ningwan should have gotten that batch of Tianshan Buddha Lotus at the request of his father. So many Tianshan Buddha Lotus could have cured his mother's poison.

But none of them were given to my mother.

Thinking of this, a strong hatred surged in his heart.

Obviously, the Queen Mother doesn't have to die.

"What else do you know?" Qin Chengqian asked again.

The old poison doctor spread his hands helplessly, "No more."

"That's all I know."

Qin Chengqian placed the banknote on the table and said, "Today I will pretend that I have never seen you."

The old poison doctor nodded repeatedly, "Of course!"

After saying that, he quickly handed Qin Chengqian a medicine bottle and said, "This is the antidote I developed myself. I've tried it and it works! But it needs to be taken within three days of poisoning, otherwise the efficacy will be greatly reduced. In the end, the Tianshan Buddha Lotus will be the only one that works."

Qin Chengqian put away the medicine bottle and said, "I understand."

After getting what he wanted, Qin Chengqian left the black market directly and immediately asked someone to investigate Mo Xuzi.

How did Mo Xuzi's poison get into the palace?

But at least what is certain at the moment is that the Tianshan Buddhist Lotus was not used on the Queen Mother, which is related to Doctor Li and Eunuch Hai, and even to the Emperor Father.

After Qin Chengqian left, the old poison doctor also prepared to pack up and leave.

The secret door of the room opened, and Jiang Ningwan, dressed in black and masked, slowly walked out.

The old poison doctor stepped forward quickly and said, "I followed your instructions. Did I say anything wrong?"

"Well done." Jiang Ningwan threw him a heavy purse.

The old poison doctor opened it and took a look. In the dim light, the gold ingots shone brightly, which was eye-catching.

"Take this money and go as far as possible."

"Yes, yes, I'll leave now! I'll never come back!" The old poison doctor hurriedly packed up the bottles and jars and left the black market overnight.

Jiang Ningwan then also left the black market.

Now Qin Chengqian has found out everything he should have found out.

The only one missing is Mo Xuzi.

But it was not so easy for Qin Chengqian to know Mo Xuzi's background. After all, there was no evidence that Mo Xuzi was the emperor's man.

If Qin Chengqian knew everything rashly, it would only arouse suspicion.

But sometimes, just a little bit of information is needed to achieve the goal.

In the next few days, Qin Chengqian mobilized all his personal guards to track down Mo Xuzi.

However, Mo Xuzi's origins and movements in Kyoto have not been fully ascertained, and now that he is dead, there are even fewer clues.

But there are still some clues.

"Your Highness, we've found out that the last thing Mo Xuzi did before his death was to pay tribute to his old friend at Dusk Ridge. But it's said he was captured by a group of people before he could even leave the mountain."

"I heard it was the King of Chu."

"After Mo Xuzi fell into the hands of the King of Chu, he seemed to have disappeared without a trace. People in the martial arts world said that Mo Xuzi was killed by the King of Chu. After all, the King of Chu was crippled by Mo Xuzi in the Northland."

Hearing this, Qin Chengqian was thoughtful. Logically, Mo Xuzi and the King of Chu had no grudge against each other, but they became enemies on the battlefield in the north many years ago.

"To Dusk Ridge!"

Qin Chengqian immediately gave the order and set off immediately.

After running around for several days, he found out a lot about Mo Xuzi.

Although this person is a well-known poisoner in the underworld, he rarely interacts with people in the underworld.

But he happened to live in Dusk Ridge for a long time and got to know his old friend, the abbot.

After investigation, he learned that Princess Yi had also encountered bandits in Bomu Ridge and was saved by Mo Xuzi.

But from then on, Princess Yi suffered from headaches.

It seems that Mo Xuzi deliberately poisoned Princess Yi, and there seems to be some powerful people in Kyoto behind his actions.

Otherwise, how could a gangster get involved in the affairs of the powerful in Kyoto?

Qin Chengqian had a vague feeling that Mo Xuzi had some connection with the palace...

Otherwise, why would Mo Xuzi's poison have to poison Princess Yi, his mother?

After living outside the palace for a few days, Qin Chengqian took the bottle of poison called Broken Heart, thought about it again and again, and poured some into his tea.

He raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
