In Another World, Everyone Want to Kill Me!-Chapter 329: The Hidden Poisoner

In this era, there were no blood tests or injections.

Everything relied on observation, listening, questioning, and pulse-taking.

Because of that, detoxification became extremely difficult.

What Yue Mingxuan did not expect was that the poison in the old emperor’s body was so vicious.

It was almost impossible to cure.

Only special methods could barely keep him alive for a short time.

After checking his pulse again, Yue Mingxuan could only shake his head at Shang Qinghua.

"My father’s poison... is there really no cure?" Shang Qinghua asked.

His voice was full of disbelief.

Yue Mingxuan had even been able to cure corpse poison, so why could he not cure his father’s poison?

Still, he knew this was not something that could be forced. He sighed and asked, "Then... how long does my father have left?"

"One month," Yue Mingxuan said helplessly.

Being unable to save a patient was a very painful thing for a doctor.

But the emperor’s condition truly could not be cured.

What Shang Qinghua could do now was only to investigate the source of the poison.

He could not eliminate the poison, but at least he could avenge his father.

In the end, Shang Qinghua told his father everything exactly as it was.

When the old emperor heard that he only had one month left to live, he smiled instead.

"One month is enough for me to do many things."

Previously, the crown prince of Ximo Kingdom had been the eldest prince.

But after what had happened before, the eldest prince lost his position as crown prince.

Shang Qinghua was the fourth prince, so the throne would naturally not pass to him.

Instead, it would go to the second prince, Shang Zefeng.

As long as Shang Zefeng did not make any major mistakes, the throne of Ximo would undoubtedly be his.

Originally, Shang Qinghua had planned to take his time and slowly bring Shang Zefeng down with a long-term plan.

But now, he only had one month left.

Time was extremely limited and he had to do something else.

"The person who poisoned your father used very skillful methods. This technique... comes from the Silver Needle Sect," Yue Mingxuan said, unwilling to admit this fact.

After all, he had just finished reorganizing the sect and had only recently sent the third and fourth elders to confinement.

"If it is a method from the Silver Needle Sect, then the range of suspects becomes much smaller," Shang Qinghua said, his eyes turning cold. He continued, "You, Gongsun Xing, and Wang Jian can already be ruled out. But the third and fourth elders are in confinement, so who else could have poisoned my father?"

"I don’t know either."

Although Yue Mingxuan was now the sect master of the Silver Needle Sect, he had not been in that position for long.

So, he could not determine who had poisoned the old emperor.

This poison was similar to bee venom, but much more vicious.

Moreover, it had to be administered through needle insertion to be effective.

The reason Yue Mingxuan could not save him was because there were no injection tools in this era.

If such tools had existed, he might have been able to save him.

But since they did not, Yue Mingxuan could only watch helplessly as the old emperor’s life slowly faded away before his eyes.

"You only said that the method of poisoning came from the Silver Needle Sect. How do you know that?" Shang Qinghua asked.

"I have read many medical books. The only one that mentions poisoning through needle techniques is Gongsun Long’s notes," Yue Mingxuan sighed. "That’s why I don’t want to think about it, because the only people who have seen those notes are me and Gongsun Xing."

"Gongsun Xing would never do such a thing," Shang Qinghua said before Yue Mingxuan could continue.

Gongsun Xing was not the kind of person who would do something like this for fame or profit, nor for money.

But aside from Gongsun Xing, it seemed that only Yue Mingxuan had seen those notes.

Yue Mingxuan sighed, but suddenly remembered a rule: during the Medical Assembly, everyone could exchange knowledge of medicine.

He had only recently arrived and had not yet experienced such an event.

Perhaps during the Medical Assembly, Gongsun Xing had shared this technique with others?

He immediately went to find Gongsun Xing.

He could not wait on this matter.

"You mean my father’s notes? When I was young, the first elder who took care of me was responsible for organizing those notes," Gongsun Xing said. When he heard Yue Mingxuan ask about this, he seemed a bit confused. "What happened?"

"Oh, I remembered that there was a section in the notes that recorded a special technique. I couldn’t recall it for a moment," Yue Mingxuan said.

"Oh, then you could have just asked me directly. I have already memorized everything in my father’s notes," Gongsun Xing replied with a gentle smile.

Yue Mingxuan shook his head. "No need. I will go look at it myself."

He had already learned what he needed to know.

He told Shang Qinghua about this matter, but in return, Shang Qinghua only let out a sigh. "So... it was the First Elder."

"What do you mean?"

"Nothing. I will give the order to have the First Elder come and treat my father," Shang Qinghua said coldly.

Yue Mingxuan did not understand what he meant, but he still passed on the order.

"Old brother, is my illness truly beyond saving?" Although he already knew the answer, the emperor still asked the First Elder in this way.

Hearing this form of address, Yue Mingxuan was very surprised.

The emperor called him brother? Then the relationship between the two must have been very close in the past.

Yue Mingxuan thought this silently while he and Shang Qinghua listened from the side.

"Your Majesty, the sect master, Yue Mingxuan, is indeed a rare genius. Even I could not come up with such a method. So even if I take action, the result will only be like this," the First Elder said calmly, without any change in his expression.
