Chapter 1192: Leaving (4)
Furthermore, those palace guards were already having a grievance against Mo Zhao. They had been sabotaging the surveillance cameras, making it even easier for Di Fuyi’s men to move around in the palace. These men were all elites and were very careful about their conducts, so they would not give themselves away.
Gu Xijiu was able to draw inferences about other cases from this one instance, so she managed to understand the events quickly. She continued to ask a critical question, "Long Fan is excellent in the field of medicine and familiar with the use of poisons. What kind of poison did you apply to prevent Long Fan from realizing it? What was that?"
Di Fuyi coughed. "As Long Fan was too sensitive to the use of poisons, simple ones would easily get his attention. We had to use something specially made that took a few steps to work. The combination of furniture made of Gold Phoebe Wood, in addition to the music played from Ah Xi’s lute, my blood, and some powdered medicine did the trick. All these four materials were not harmful individually but worked when they were mixed and triggered with a special tune from the lute. It had neither any color nor smell, so Long Fan could not tell it apart."
Gu Xijiu hesitated a little. "Why are you telling me every detail?"
Mo Zhao did not manage to figure it out. Hence, it was safe to assume that he currently had an upset stomach.
Di Fuyi responded gently, "I will not hide anything from you anymore."
Gu Xijiu did not answer.
