Qin Shuhuang was already talented in medical skills. Song Yuan liked to study pharmacology. Compared with Song Yuan, Qin Shuhuang liked toxicology more.

Qin Shuhuang knew more about poison than Song Yuan.

They ran all the way during the day and didn't stop to rest until it got dark. We were still far away from Beidi and the temperature was not very low in winter. Sleeping in the open would be more difficult but still bearable.

It will get even colder after a few days of travel, and we will have to find an inn to stay the night. It will not be easy to walk fast by then.

Tonight we sleep in a dilapidated temple.

Ruda and his soldiers gathered firewood and raised the fire. He took water from the nearby river and poured it into the pot and put it on the fire to cook.

Qin Shuhuang, Xie Xuanye, and Luo Chu sat beside the fire to warm themselves up.

Qin Shuhuang took out the tea leaves and tea cup from his luggage, and after the water boiled, he prepared to get hot water to make tea.

Xie Xuanye put the fish that the guards put in when fetching water on the fire to roast, while there were guards cooking porridge beside him.

Then dinner will be grilled fish, porridge, and some dry food and pickles.

After a day of running around, Ruda arranged a vigil so that everyone could rest after eating.

On the tray, Qin Shuhuang poured the boiling water into the teapot, waited for a while until the tea brewed, and poured tea into three white porcelain teacups one after another.

In the cold weather, the tea exudes a refreshing fragrance and is filled with heat. Before you even pick up the tea cup, you seem to feel the warmth of the tea.

Qin Shuhuang placed the tray in front of Luo Chu, "Mr. Luo, please."

"Thank you!"

Just as Luo Chu stretched out his hand to pick up the tea cup, Qin Shuhuang's expression condensed and he grabbed Luo Chu's hand, "Wait!"

In desperation, Qin Shuhuang's hand grabbed the back of Luo Chu's hand.

The warm touch immediately spread from the back of Luo Chu's hand to his heart. Luo Chu was slightly startled, and then his ears couldn't help but turn red.

Qin Shuhuang did not notice the change in Luo Chu's expression, but Xie Xuanye next to him looked at Luo Chu with more hostility.

Qin Shuhuang let go of Luo Chu's hand, frowned and whispered: "The color of this tea is wrong!"

Luo Chu and Xie Xuanye's attention was immediately attracted by Qin Shuhuang's words.

"Is there something wrong with this tea?" Xie Xuanye asked.

Qin Shuhuang glanced around, then made a gesture to Luda.

Ruda looked solemn and quietly led his men to stare at everyone in the group one by one.

On their way to Beidi, they were not only followed by Qin Shuhuang's personal guards and dragon armor, but also by Luo Chu's people.

Luo Chu had ten men, and Qin Shuhuang didn't even know his identity and background.

Qin Shuhuang took out a purse from his waist, which contained silver needles for acupuncture.

She took out a thin silver needle and quietly put it into a cup of tea under the cover of Xie Xuanye and Luo Chu.

After a while, the bright silver needle lost its luster and the tip turned slightly black...

The tea is really poisonous!
The expressions of Xie Xuanye and Luo Chu changed.

Qin Shuhuang immediately took out two more silver needles and tested the unused tea leaves and the remaining hot water in the pot.

The results came soon. There was no problem with the tea, but the problem was with the water!

Xie Xuanye ordered to Luda who was standing aside, "Bring in all the people who came into contact with the water when fetching it!"

Ruda nodded.

After a while, Ruda brought two soldiers and one of Luo Chu's guards.

The water was drawn by Luo Chu's guards and then handed over to one of his guards. The fire started with the firewood picked up by another guard, and all three of them might have been poisoned.

After the three of them stood in front of Qin Shuhuang and others, Qin Shuhuang winked at Luda, who immediately picked up the tray and handed it to the three of them, "Thank you for your hard work along the way. Miss, please enjoy the tea. Let's have a cup each!" "

The two guards picked up the tea cup without hesitation. The remaining Luo Chu guards not only did not dare to pick up the tea, but took a step back in panic.Apparently he knew there was something wrong with the tea!

Luda quickly knocked the tea cup out of the guard's hand and gestured to his men to take down Luo Chu's guard.

There were Qin Shuhuang's people around, and the guards couldn't run far at all.

He found a direction with fewer people, ran a few steps quickly and was caught by the guards.

But as soon as he brought the guard to Qin Shuhuang, the personal guard found that the guard was no longer breathing...

A trace of black blood flowed from the corner of the guard's mouth.

Luda quickly stepped forward to check. After a moment, he replied to Qin Shuhuang with a solemn expression, "Miss, the person is dead. There is a strong poison hidden in the mouth. He will die immediately after biting it open!"

Luo Chu's face turned dark after seeing all this.

He stood up and said to Qin Shuhuang, "I'm going to check my manpower."

Qin Shuhuang nodded.

Luo Chu left quickly.

Staring at Luo Chu's back, Xie Xuanye's eyes narrowed.

Although the water just now was poisoned, you can't stop drinking or eating just because the water was poisoned.

This time Ruda personally took his most trusted men to fetch water from the river, brought it back and put it on the fire. He then tested the poison with a silver needle before starting to boil the water.

As long as it was an imported item, Luda did not rely on others, and took two personal guards to handle it personally. Even the two maids who had taken care of Qin Shuhuang before, Luda did not let them touch the food or drink.

Xie Xuanye whispered: "Your Highness, the target of the poisoner is Luo Chu. We can no longer go with him."

Qin Shuhuang also noticed it.

If he wanted to harm her, why not do it on the way from Guangnan to Beijing?
There are many opportunities to poison her along the way.

So this person's target is not her.

Besides her, the suitable target is Luo Chu.

On the surface, he is a member of the regent, but privately he works for the fourth prince. He is also a descendant of the Liu family. His identity is complicated and involved in many things.

The person who carried out the attack was one of the guards he brought with him. This guard was with them when they left Guangnan. He took action only after leaving the suburbs of Beijing. It is very likely that he had just received the mission.

Concubine Liu Gui and Prince Ping were in the capital, and it was likely that she received the mission while passing through the suburbs of the capital.

Before dinner, Luo Chu executed two more guards.

During dinner, Luo Chu looked very unhappy.

I am afraid that the news about Guangnan has been sent to Concubine Liu Gui. Concubine Liu Gui became suspicious of him, so she sent someone to get rid of him!

The manpower he brought this time was very complicated. Five of them were from Shigu Academy, and the remaining half were brought from the yard of the Liu family.

I don’t know if they have secretly taken refuge in the Liu family’s main house.

After the meal, Luo Chu made a decision.

"Your Highness, let's go separately." Luo Chu said seriously.

Qin Shuhuang was slightly surprised. She was originally going to say this to him, but she didn't expect Luo Chu to speak first.

In this situation, it would be best for the two of them to separate.

After Luo Chu is separated from her, he can use the manpower given to him by the regent to protect himself. As long as he is with her, the regent's manpower cannot be used.

Qin Shuhuang agreed without thinking.

Luo Chu was stunned. He didn't expect Qin Shuhuang to agree so quickly. When he lowered his head, there was a flash of disappointment in his eyes. (End of chapter)
