Chapter 192 There is something wrong with the incense ash
"Doctor Yang, please take a look at the others to see if they have also been poisoned by the same drug?" Xue Wanxian suddenly thought of the other people who had fainted.
If it was poisoning, everyone was poisoned, so no one reported the situation here to him immediately.
Doctor Yang followed the housekeeper's instructions, checked several maids, and then checked on Nanny Chen before returning to his seat.
"My Lord, they were all poisoned, and the poison they were poisoned with was the same as the old lady's. That's why they fainted."
"Doctor Yang, in your opinion, how can the poison be administered so that everyone is poisoned at the same time and has no time to react?"
Xue Wanxian looked at the surroundings, his mind was in a mess. What happened today had a huge impact on him.
First, Liu Yiyi gave Manager Chen's son that vicious poison, then there was the threat from King Cheng, and now Zhang had a stroke and fainted, and was even poisoned.
"This situation is easy to analyze. The first possibility is that the person who poisoned the food or water put the poison in it. In this case, everyone who eats or drinks the food will be poisoned."
"No, that's impossible. These people are servants. They don't eat the same food as my mother. Even if they do, they can't be poisoned at the same time."
Xue Wanxian gradually calmed down and began to analyze the situation. He knew that he could not fall down now.
"The second way is that the person who poisoned the food put the poison in an incense stick or charcoal basin. In this way, everyone will be exposed to it at the same time."
As Doctor Yang was speaking, he was suddenly attracted by an incense burner on the table.
He walked to the incense burner, opened it, took some ashes from it, put them in the palm of his hand, smelled them, licked them, and then spit them out.
He walked up to Xue Wanxian with the incense burner in his hand and said, "My Lord, the problem is in this incense burner. A stick of incense was just lit in it and it was poisonous, so everyone here was poisoned at the same time."
"Xue Chun, go check the incense in this incense burner. Who sent it here?"
After finding the source of the poisoning, Xue Wanxian immediately ordered the housekeeper to investigate.
To be honest, when he heard Doctor Yang say that the source of the poisoning was the incense in the incense burner, he still held on to a glimmer of hope, hoping that all of this was done by someone else.
Xue Chun quickly found out everything, "My Lord, the incense here was sent by someone from Furong Courtyard."
Furongyuan is Liu Yiyi's courtyard, and the incense was sent from there, which means that the person who poisoned the food is most likely Liu Yiyi.
"Who sent it?" After what happened just now, Xue Wanxian was even a little numb. He just wanted to find out the truth.
"She brought it here, and replaced the original incense while the people in Changshou Hall were not paying attention." Xue Chun pointed at the maid following him.
The maid stepped forward and said, "Yes, I brought the incense here to replace it."
"Why did you replace the incense here, and where did you get this vicious incense?" Xue Wanxian held his breath and stared at the little maid in front of him with a cold gaze.
"Yes, it was given to me by my Madam. She said that this scent smells good and is good for my health, so she ordered me to come and change it."
"Since it is good for the old lady's health, why replace it secretly? Can't we just give it to Nanny Chen openly?" Xue Wanxian slapped the table hard.
"Yes, it's because Madam said that the old lady doesn't like Madam. If she knew it was something Madam sent, she would definitely not accept it, so she ordered the servant to secretly replace it."
The little maid looked confused, she had no idea what was going on, but seeing that the atmosphere was not right, she had to tell everything honestly.
"Who is the lady you are talking about? Is it An Qingqian or Liu Yiyi?" Xue Wanxian asked with a cold face. His voice was flat and no emotion could be heard, but it made people feel fear for no reason.
The air in the entire room was stagnant, with a heavy and terrifying feeling.
"Yes, Miss Liu. Didn't Miss An already leave the Marquis' Mansion?" the little maid replied.
Following the maid's words, the last glimmer of hope in Xue Wanxian's heart was shattered.
She had someone send the forbidden foods to her, and she also had the maid replace the poisonous incense. She really wanted to kill Zhang.
Xue Wanxian slumped in his chair, his body frozen.
He suddenly remembered the shrill voice of Manager Chen in the banquet hall, the reproaches and disgust of the crowd. He had been under such great pressure, but had only had Liu Yiyi locked up in the woodshed without any severe punishment.
It's because he felt in his heart that Liu Yiyi did this only on impulse and she was not a bad person by nature.
But what about now? He was so protective of Liu Yiyi, so what did she do?
She actually wanted to kill her own mother, who was her mother-in-law!
"Xue Qing, take your men to the woodshed and bring that bitch Liu Yiyi to the flower hall. I want to ask her why she did all this."
Xue Wanxian's eyes were red, like someone who had not rested for several days. He looked tired, weird and scary, making people want to avoid him.
"Yes, Lord Marquis."
"Come here, drag these people out, beat them to death with sticks, and throw their bodies out in the suburbs to feed the dogs!"
Xue Wanxian no longer looked at the three people on the ground and gave orders coldly.
These three people are not good people. One of them changes the fragrance to harm others, and the other two, knowing that we should avoid greasy and meaty foods, still send them to others.
These people deserve to die! They should not be buried in the grave!
"Please spare me, my Lord. This was all done by Madam's order."
When the three heard about the punishment, they were panicked. They never thought that they were clearly following orders, so why did they have to bear all the consequences now?
Moreover, they had no idea what was happening, they just saw the old lady lying there.
Did the old lady faint? Did the Marquis blame them for all this?
Listening to their explanations, Xue Wanxian did not feel the slightest bit of sympathy. Instead, he felt extremely upset.
Upon seeing this, Xue Qing quickly signaled the guards to cover the mouths of the few people and take them away.
"Doctor Yang, can my mother still be saved?" After dealing with all this, Xue Wanxian couldn't help but look back at the person with his eyes closed on the bed.
He still held on to a glimmer of hope, thinking that perhaps the situation was not that serious.
"Doctor Yang, why don't you take another look and see if you need any medicine? I'll send someone to find it right away."
"My Lord, I understand your feelings, but the old lady's situation is indeed beyond my ability to help. Now, even if a great immortal came down to earth, he couldn't save her."
