Chapter 1893: The Eye Eroding Worm
This made Prince Ping even more frightened and uneasy. It wasn’t that the two assassins had taken the truth pill but that the Emperor’s words revealed his trust in Lin Yuelan.
I still trust that girl’s character!
It was a simple sentence, but to him, it was like a mountain of knives and a sea of fire, making him panic and panic.
Prince Ping opened his mouth, wanting to say something.
However, before he could say anything, the two people who had taken the pills immediately became abnormal.
Jiang Zhennan looked at it and said to the Emperor,” Emperor, it’s done!”
The Emperor looked at the two assassins kneeling on the ground. He felt that something was wrong. Other than the slight change in their eyes, there was not much difference in other areas.
He immediately asked with interest,” Minister Jiang, are you sure this will do?”
“Replying to the emperor, this person didn’t change much after he took the truth pill. The only change might be the expression in his eyes. His eyes will become clear and pure, like a child.” Jiang Zhennan replied truthfully.
When the Emperor heard this, his interest was piqued again. He continued to ask,” Like a child? How do you say this?”
Jiang Zhennan nodded and replied,” Yue ‘er once said that the world of children is the most innocent. They don’t have any lies in their hearts.”
As soon as Jiang Zhennan finished speaking, the Emperor expressed his understanding and immediately said happily,” That girl is really a genius. She can actually create such a medicine.”
Jiang Zhennan said,” Your Majesty, the medicinal properties of this truth pill can last for two hours. There’s no time to lose. Let’s hurry up and interrogate them!”
At this point, the Emperor’s face was also solemn. He nodded and said,” Yes, go ahead!”
Jiang Zhennan immediately shouted at the assassin in front of him,” Who sent you? Why did you assassinate Second Brother Hu?”
When Prince Ping heard this, his face turned pale, and his expression was one of anxiety. It was as if his heart was about to spit fire.
The order to assassinate Second Lord Hu was personally given by the emperor’s eldest grandson, Yuwen Xuhong.
If this pill really had the ability to make people tell the truth, then the eldest grandson would be exposed very soon.
No, it couldn’t be like this!
The Assassin said, “Yes...”
In his mind, there was only pain, pain, and pain!
“Ah...Ah...”
“Quickly invite her in!” The Emperor heaved a sigh of relief and immediately gave his orders.
Although he already suspected that Prince Ping had ulterior motives and even guessed the truth of some matters, it was still a guess, and there was no real evidence.
Therefore, no matter what, before the truth was revealed, nothing could happen to Prince Ping in the royal study. Otherwise, he might be labelled by the world as a ‘tyrant who can’t tolerate his own brothers’!
At the thought of this, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in the Emperor’s eyes as he looked at Prince Ping’s expression.
Lin Yuelan quickly walked into the royal study. She had heard from Eunuch Zhang that Prince Ping suddenly had a stomachache for some reason. He was rolling on the floor in pain.
Lin Yuelan walked straight toward Prince Ping. She squatted down and observed his facial features and expression.
When she saw a small white dot in his eye socket, her pupils contracted slightly. Then, she quickly raised her left hand and used the source of life along her veins. She moved it toward the white dot in Prince Ping’s eye socket. Then, she slowly wrapped the white dot and pulled the white dot back the way it came. The thing was wrapped by the source of life and spun around her wrist.
Lin Yuelan immediately ordered,” Prepare a bowl of clear water, add some salt, and a chicken!”
Eunuch Zhang left immediately after Lin Yuelan finished speaking.
The Emperor asked very seriously,” Girl, what’s going on?”
Lin Yuelan pressed down on Prince Ping’s wrist and said with a serious expression,” Your Majesty, Prince Ping has been poisoned by a venomous spell. This kind of venomous insect is called the Eye Eroding Worm.”
Seeing Lin Yuelan’s solemn expression, the Emperor’s expression became even more dignified.
He repeated curiously,” Eye Devouring Worm?”
Lin Yuelan explained,” That’s right. The Eye Devouring Worm was very similar to the Soul Returning Worm. One ate the heart, and the other ate the eye. As long as they reached the heart and the eye, the worm would start to react and expand, causing people to act up and suffer abnormally.
“However, compared to the Soul Returning Worm, the Eye Eating Worm was less dangerous to the people around it.
“After eating human flesh and blood, the Soul Returning Worm would rapidly expand and then explode. As long as one was contaminated, it would quickly take over and endanger the safety of the person.
“As long as the Eye Devouring Worm entered a person’s eyeball, the entire person would appear to be in abnormal pain, especially in the abdomen, which was even more unbearable. When it grew bigger and bigger in the eyeball, almost covering the entire eye socket, then this person had reached his limit. No matter how skilled my medical skills are, it might not be of any help!”
At this point, Lin Yuelan asked doubtfully, “But, how could Prince Ping be poisoned with Eye Devouring Worm?”
