Chapter 286: Consort Jing Disfigured, the Yun Family Oppressed
If one were to speak of expertise in using poison, within Great Yan, Divine Doctor Miao was indeed one of the few masters.
Murong Jiu’s master, Divine Doctor Zhai, did not indulge in the study of poisons, but as medicine and poison are closely related, he was better at detoxifying.
Despite knowing that Divine Doctor Miao was formidable with poisons, upon learning that the Second Prince had been bitten by a venomous snake and had his lower leg amputated, Murong Jiu couldn’t help but feel astonished.
Of course, she was pleased. With the loss of his lower leg, the Second Prince was now completely disabled and would have to spend his lifetime in a wheelchair, a far cry from Jun Yuyan, who merely limped.
Since ancient times, there had never been a Crown Prince or Emperor who was missing half a leg.
As the new year began and the first month hadn’t passed, the cold winter snow still fell frequently.
Snakes had long gone into hibernation, so when the Second Prince was suddenly bitten by a venomous snake, who wouldn’t think there was a conspiracy involved? And it happened within the Imperial Palace no less.
Anyone outside could guess that this incident had something to do with the Emperor.
He spoke of choosing between the Eldest Prince and the Second Prince for Crown Prince, and within a few days, the Second Prince’s leg was severed from the knee down, an act that sounded quite ruthless.
"This time, both the Second Prince and the Empress must be stunned, thinking Divine Doctor Miao was their man, only to be dealt such a heavy blow."
