Poison Doctor Roaming the Martial World

Beside the chaise lounge stood a seven-foot-tall coral tree lamp stand, its branches adorned with luminous pearls the size of pigeon eggs.

Yang Jianwu lightly stroked the branches of the coral tree lamp stand with her fingers, casually praising it.

"This coral tree lamp stand is quite unique."

The surface of the coral, which should have been smooth and rounded, was covered with a thin layer of frost-like mucus.

As Yang Jianwu withdrew her fingertips, she smelled a sweet, fishy odor, like oleander juice mixed with the exotic scent of datura.

The space began analyzing its components, and sure enough, it contained oleander and datura, as well as musk, crushed bone powder... all these ingredients came together for one purpose...

Without the help of space, it would be difficult for Yang Jianwu to quickly and completely analyze the situation!

The coral branches must have been soaked in oleander sap for a long time, so they have become contaminated with oleander toxicity. Cardiac glycosides may cause symptoms such as arrhythmia and vomiting.

The base is made of brain coral, with a few strands of bluish-gray liquid seeping out from the honeycomb-like pores.

Brain coral itself contains some alkaloids that can cause disorders in the human nervous system...

As the candlelight rises, the heated branches infuse the coral toxins, which are soaked in oleander sap, into the steam. The unique absorbency of the basalt coral transforms the toxic mist into a lingering vapor.

The combined effect of several toxic substances perfectly matches the current state of Lianyi.

To ensure there was no mistake, Yang Jianwu carefully toured the West Palace of Lianyi again, and finally determined that the problem lay with the coral tree lamp stand.

Brain corals are commonly found in tropical waters, and the closest place in Yunhai Continent to tropical waters is Nanyue!

Huh~

Guo Suo, the plague in Lucheng, the spotted moth on the wood, the corpse gu... they haven't settled accounts with Nan Yue for any of these things, yet they still dare to cause trouble!

She could pretend not to see if her hand reached elsewhere, but Lianyi was one of her own, and she was serious about protecting her own.

"Lianyi, do you still remember who sent this coral tree frame?"

Nalan Lianyi shook her head. "This is a gift from the wedding. It's recorded on the gift list. I'll go find someone to check it."

"Have someone investigate right now."

"okay."

Nalan Lianyi summoned a personal maid to fetch the gift list, while Yang Jianwu continued to admire the coral tree lamp stand, secretly pondering why this problematic coral tree lamp stand was placed in such a large Seventh Prince's residence, which could not possibly lack exquisite lamp stands.

Do you like coral?

"Fortunately, coral is a rare find in Xipan, let alone such a large one..."

Nalan Lianyi was stunned for a moment. Even if she was slow to realize, she could sense the other meaning behind Yang Jianwu's series of questions. "Sister, is there something wrong with this coral tree lamp stand?!"

"Correct!"

Yang Jianwu hoped that Nalan Lianyi could stand on her own. The despicable methods of harming people are hard to guard against, so telling her the truth would help Lianyi to be wary.

After all, Lianyi wasn't the only one in Mo Yu's backyard...

Yang Jianwu rattled off a long explanation, which left Nalan Lianyi feeling alarmed.

There used to be a gilded phoenix tree lamp stand next to the chaise longue. Some time ago, a maid accidentally knocked it over while cleaning. Coincidentally, they had been discussing coral in the past few days. Mo Yu heard that she liked it, so he personally selected this coral tree lamp stand from the storeroom and had it delivered.

If you count the days, she had just gotten pregnant at that time...

How could it be such a coincidence!

"Sister, my morning sickness is worse than usual. Is it also because of the coral tree lamp stand?"

Yang Jianwu didn't want to deceive Nalan Lianyi, so she nodded slightly as a tacit agreement.

"Your fatigue and excessive sleepiness are more or less related to the lamp stand..."

"If...I mean if..."

"Well, you ask."

"If this hadn't been discovered today, would my child have been able to be born safely?"

Yang Jianwu mentally estimated the amount of toxicity released, "At most two more months, your body won't be able to handle it, and you'll miscarry..."

What Yang Jianwu didn't say was that the fetus was already fully formed at that time, and premature birth was the most likely way to result in the death of both mother and child...

Nalan Lianyi couldn't understand, "I have several personal maids in my palace, why are they all fine, without even the slightest symptom?"

Yang Jianwu bit her lip. Everyone says that pregnancy makes you stupid for three years, but Lianyi has become stupid after only a few months.

The weather isn't particularly warm yet, so I sunbathe on the chaise lounge during the day.

When it got dark, lamps were always lit, and the coral tree lamp stand could be said to have been a constant companion to Nalan Lianyi day and night.

"The servants take turns on duty, and they are constantly busy coming and going, so the amount of poison gas they inhale is naturally limited..."

The poison gas hadn't even taken effect on them yet; they'd probably heal themselves gradually from breathing fresh air...

At most, some fatigue symptoms would be attributed to hard work and exhaustion.

This is also the main reason why the servants in her room were unharmed.

Nalan Lianyi trembled all over. She had never thought of harming anyone, so why would others scheme against her so deliberately?

If her sister hadn't been here today, her child would probably...

At this thought, Nalan Lianyi's heart was filled with fear and unease, and tears began to well up in her eyes.

"Sister, I'm so scared..."

Nalan Lianyi's voice trembled. Yang Jianwu hugged Nalan Lianyi, his fingertips intentionally or unintentionally massaging her back, and softly comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Within a few breaths, Nalan Lianyi's breathing became steady. Yang Jianwu helped Nalan Lianyi sit down, stood to the side, and continued to massage her back.

"Lianyi, you are a princess of the Xipan royal family, and your nobility is unparalleled."

Your father and mother have protected you well, but that doesn't mean you're a parasitic plant, forever dependent on others for survival.

Now you're going to be a mother too. You need to grow up independently and protect your child; he needs you!

"elder sister……"

Nalan Lianyi's eyelids grew heavier and heavier. She tried hard to open her eyes, but in the end, she couldn't resist the drowsiness and became sleepy. Before long, she fell asleep leaning against Yang Jianwu.

The maid who had just gone to collect the gift list hurriedly ran into the hall, followed by the steward of the Seventh Prince's residence.

"Shh-"

Yang Jianwu glared at the steward and the maid. It had taken a lot of effort to calm Nalan Lianyi down. The two of them were so impetuous that they barged in without even checking the room first, which was really inappropriate.

The steward wasn't like the clueless head maid; he knew perfectly well that in the Seventh Prince's residence, Miss Yang's words were more important than the Seventh Prince's orders.

"I deserve to die, Miss Yang, please forgive me."

Thinking of the lost gift list, the butler felt anxious again. He knelt down with a thud, cold sweat pouring down his forehead, and even on a not-so-hot day, his back was soaked through.

"Miss Yang, the wedding banquet gift list that the Princess was looking for... is missing."

"How could it be missing?!"

As is customary, once the gift list is completed, it is stored in the warehouse and guarded by designated personnel.

Why did it disappear when I needed to access it?

If you say there's no ghost involved, even ghosts wouldn't believe it!

It seems that every move in the mansion is being monitored...
