"Yang Xun, what do you know?" Chu Wang reacted immediately, "Come in and talk!"
Yang Xun, who had been guarding outside, immediately stepped in and knelt on one knee.
"Miss, you say this poison is a floral scent. Your subordinate suddenly remembers that last night... last night I did indeed smell a floral scent."
"Where was it?" Chu Qianli's eyes darkened.
Yang Xun thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth, "It was Lan Fan! It was Mr. Lan from the Lan clan!"
Lan Fan!
He actually dared to openly poison the Emperor!
"But... since even Yang Xun smelled the floral scent, why was only the Emperor poisoned?" Chu Wang asked, confused.
There were many people in front of the Lingjiu Hall at the time.
If even Yang Xun could smell this floral scent, then others must have been able to smell it too.
Why did only the Emperor have an accident?
"That's because the other party knew that the Emperor still had another poison in his body, and when the two poisons mixed, they produced a potent toxin."
Chu Qianli's gaze deepened.
"He must have known what poison the Emperor had been afflicted with not long ago."
"So, the Emperor's previous poisoning was also Lan Fan's doing?"
Chu Wang clenched his fists in anger, his knuckles cracking!
"This damned Lan Fan is utterly lawless! How did his people get in here! This scoundrel!"
How was this poison administered to the Emperor two days ago?
Even Chu Qianli hadn't discovered it.
The culprit had managed to poison the Emperor right under her nose!
To this day, Chu Qianli still couldn't let go of this.
Especially now that she knew Chu Jiangnan was her father.
She had allowed her own father to have an accident right before her eyes! She was truly damnable!
"So, Lan Fan had already intended to come to Lingjiu Hall to seize the position of National Preceptor?"
Chu Wang looked at the pale Chu Jiangnan, his heart filled with complex emotions. "If the Emperor were still well, how could he have allowed Lan Fan to cause such a commotion in Lingjiu Hall and force the National Preceptor to leave injured?"
"So, you all believe that the National Preceptor and I..."
"Little Li'er, what nonsense are you talking about? Firstly, you are not the Emperor's woman, and secondly, Lan Qing would never do anything to betray the Emperor."
Although Lan Qing appeared cold and aloof, he was loyal to the Emperor and to Nanming.
"Thank you for your trust." Chu Qianli smiled at him.
Since they trusted her, there was no need to say much more.
"For now, please don't ask where the National Preceptor is. I don't know how many people here can be trusted."
"Miss, your subordinate is loyal to the Emperor!" Yang Xun bowed his head and knelt.
Xiao Shunzi also quickly knelt down, "This servant swears, this servant's heart belongs only to the Emperor."
Liu Jin's expression was a little awkward. He wasn't good at swearing oaths.
"Well, I... I am not from Nanming. I won't interfere in Nanming's state affairs. I... I am just a doctor."
Chu Qianli looked at Chu Wang, who was shocked. "You suspect me?"
"Not exactly, I just want to tell you that even if the people here are trustworthy, those outside this door may not all be trustworthy."
"To go a step further, even if the people outside are trustworthy, how many people in the courtyard can you guarantee?"
"Little Li'er, what are you trying to say?" Chu Wang seemed to understand.
Chu Qianli nodded, "The poisoning two days ago must have been carried out by someone in the courtyard. It's time to reduce the number of people in this entire palace."
