Travelling Doctor (4)
Mu Mingtang’s heart and whole body turned cold. Instead, it was Xie Xuanchen who remained expressionless and asked, “What are its effects?”
The little Taoist said after scratching his head for some time: “I also don’t know. Very few people in the Central Plains are aware of Wuyufei, since it is an extremely uncommon herb. My master studied it slightly back then, so I also know a little. According to my master, if it is used for a long time, it will make people unconscious and highly aggressive. Just use the medicine made of black feather fly root to stimulate the people under the use of Wuyufei, and they will fall into a frenzy, attacking anything that comes into their view.”
‘Oh God.. all the symptoms are very similar.’ Mu Mingtang immediately thought of the scented ball that suddenly appeared and then disappeared for no reason.
Mu Mingtang recalled what happened that day. At that time, Xie Xuanchen was standing by the window, the door was wide open, the autumn wind was rustling, and the fragrance of the medicine was blown away by the wind. As they were having a conversation, Xie Xuanchen suddenly felt a headache.
Everything was made clear now.
According to what the Taoist said, Wuyufei was divided into two parts, one part was gradually destroying Xie Xuanchen’s spirit year after year, and the other part was working as medicine, at a certain right time, it would make Xie Xuanchen lose control. His brute strength was terrifying, and he could turn the ordinary people’s skin purple and black just with a light pinch, let alone when his mind was controlled under medicine’s effects.
Mu Mingtang couldn’t help but look down at her clothes: ‘So those people actually dared to add poisonous herbs to our clothes?’
Nobles used incense to add fragrance to their body, and every household had a special maid who dealt with that matter. The clothes would only be considered clean if they are incensed after being washed, otherwise they would be regarded as shabby.
Since Mu Mingtang knew that there might be a problem with the incense they used in the mansion, she didn’t allow maids to burn incense in the house, and even secretly paid attention to Xie Xuanchen’s diet. Who would have thought that someone would instead use the incense used on the clothes to slowly poison them?
The incense had a light and lingering smell of lavender. The most important thing was that Xie Xuanchen was used to putting incense on his clothes since he was a child, so he didn’t pay attention to it at all. Adding poison using such a method was very vicious.
Mu Mingtang felt complicated for a while. She never expected such a cruel trick would be used on them…
Xie Xuanchen gradually became serious as he listened to the Taoist. He looked at Mu Mingtang with eyes suppressing the intense anger. After they were married, Mu Mingtang stayed with him all the time. After being in contact with those herbs for so long, now Mu Mingtang was also poisoned.
