The Empress Dowager

Chapter 448 Poison
Nangong Yue avoided the maidservant, came to Huancui Courtyard, gently opened the door and walked in, Nangong Yue scanned the surroundings, the room was neatly furnished, and the furniture was made of high-quality rosewood.

Nangong Yue searched the whole room, but found nothing suspicious. Nangong Yue inquired and found that Murong Jian died in this room. Could it be that the evidence was destroyed after a long time?Or is there no evidence at all?
Nangong Yue went out of the house after the search was fruitless.

At this moment, two servant girls came towards Jiang's room, Nangong Yue was startled, and quickly hid in a room beside her.

"The madam will be back soon, let's clean up the house quickly! Otherwise, the madam will be angry again!" said a maid.

"Yeah, since the master left, the madam has not been in a good mood..."

"Yeah, master's life is really bad, why..."

"Stop talking, if Madam finds out, we will be punished again." A maid said.

"Let's go!" Another maid said, quickening her pace.

After the two maids left, Nangong Yue realized that she was now in the study that Nangong Jian used before.

Nangong Yue looked at the study, there are many books in the study, will Nangong Jian leave anything in the study?Thinking of this, Nangong Yue searched in the study.

There are several books neatly placed on the desk, covered with a light layer of dust, it can be seen that since Nan Gongjian left, no one has cleaned the study.

Nangong Yue took a book, patted the dust on the book, flipped through a few pages, but found no clues, then, Nangong Yue picked up another book and read it, but still found nothing.

Nangong Yue flipped through a few more books, frowned, put down the book in her hand, and walked slowly to the bookshelf.

There are many ancient books on the bookshelf. Nangong Yue flipped through them one by one quickly. Before she knew it, two quarters of an hour had passed, but Nangong Yue still found nothing. Just when Nangong Yue wanted to go back, she found that there was a book on the top of the bookshelf. Between the book and the book, there is a suspicious thing.

Nangong Yue stood on tiptoe and reached out to take down the suspicious thing.

Nangong Yue looked at the ball in her hands and frowned. It was a paper bag. Nangong Yue opened the paper bag, and there was only a small amount of powder in the paper bag.

Nangong Yue put away the paper bag, opened the door, and walked towards Linglong Courtyard.

Nangong Yue handed the paper bag she found from the study to Murong Yu, and said, "I found this from my father's study, look at the powder inside here?"

Murong Yu took the paper bag, frowned lightly, opened the paper bag, smelled it: "It's the powder of aconitum."

"Aconitum?" Nangong Yue knew that aconitum was extremely poisonous, and if people swallowed it by mistake, they would die.

Murong Yu nodded, "Yes", and said: "Aconitum, its nature and taste are pungent, bitter, and warm. It can dispel rheumatism, dispel cold and relieve pain. It is very effective for wind-cold-damp arthralgia!"

"You said, this aconitum can cure diseases?" Nangong Yue asked. After watching too many Gongdou dramas, she always thought that this aconitum was a harmful thing, but she didn't know that this aconitum could also save people.

"Well, I think the decoction that Marquis Zhenguo drank before his death also contained a small amount of aconitum." Murong Yu said.

"So that's the case, but isn't the decoction usually done by maids? Why did this medicine bag appear in my father's study?"

"Aconitum, don't use it unless you are critically ill. If you put too much in the soup, it can be fatal." Murong Yu said word by word.
