Chapter 573 Poisoned_1

"What’s wrong?"

Su Qinwei and the other girls all noticed Yin Tian’s reaction and looked at him with puzzled eyes.

Yin Tian didn’t speak, but instead rushed to Zhen Huayi’s side.

He reached out to check Zhen Huayi’s breath, then extended his hand to take her pulse.

Seeing Yin Tian’s actions, Su Qinwei and the other girls were also bewilderedly watching him, not knowing why he was reacting so strongly.

Soon, Yin Tian’s face turned ashen.

"Yin Tian, what on earth is going on?"

Su Qinwei and the other girls watched Yin Tian with immense concern, not knowing what had happened.

"Poisoned."

Yin Tian spoke slowly, uttering three words.

Upon hearing this, Su Qinwei and the other girls froze in place.

Poisoned?

Zhen Huayi was poisoned?

"How could this be..."

Chen Yu muttered, her eyes somewhat unfocused.

Yin Tian couldn’t believe it either. He confirmed it again and then nodded, "That’s right, Huayi really has been poisoned!"

After speaking, Yin Tian turned to look at Su Qinwei, "Who came here yesterday when I wasn’t around?"

"No one came..."

Su Qinwei thought for a moment and then spoke up, "Yesterday, only Wei Zi’an came once to check on his wife and then left. Wei Zi’an came with you..."

"After that... Doctor Hua came once to check on Huayi’s health, made sure she was alright, and then left."

Yin Tian frowned deeply and nodded slowly.

The possibility of someone else poisoning her was ruled out.

And if someone had slipped the poison gas through a crack in the door or something similar, Su Qinwei and the others would have been poisoned as well.

But if that were the case...

How was Zhen Huayi poisoned?

Yin Tian sat there, thinking for a long time, and then suddenly woke up.

"The medicine!"

Yin Tian suddenly stood up and strode out of the ward.

As soon as he stepped out of the ward, he happened to see Doctor Hua approaching from a distance.

"Master?"

Doctor Hua looked at Yin Tian with joy and quickly walked up to him.

But Yin Tian just stared at Doctor Hua and said in a heavy voice, "Where are the medicinal herbs that were unloaded outside the hospital yesterday?"

"Ah?"

Doctor Hua was taken aback, then replied, "I put them in the hospital’s storeroom. Nothing has been touched; they’re all there."

"Take me there."

Yin Tian’s eyes were dark as he spoke.

Doctor Hua also sensed that something was off with Yin Tian’s state and immediately nodded, leading him quickly to a distant spot.

Soon, the two arrived at the hospital’s storeroom.

Not far away, neatly stacked, were the herbs Yin Tian had prepared to treat Zhen Huayi’s eyes.

Yin Tian quickly walked over and dumped all the herbs out.

He began to search through them.

Doctor Hua didn’t know what Yin Tian was up to and just stood by, watching helplessly.

More than an hour later, Yin Tian had searched through most of the herbs, leaving only a few precious ones unchecked.

Yin Tian turned his head, his gaze falling on those well-preserved herbs.

He took each herb out, carefully inspected it in his hand, and set each one aside.

Finally, Yin Tian picked up the Qingming Grass.

He carefully examined the Qingming Grass and saw no problem at first glance.

He was about to put the Qingming Grass down when he suddenly noticed something was off.

This stalk of Qingming Grass...

The color seemed slightly darker!

He took the Qingming Grass up to his eye again, observing it closely.

Finally, he even stuck out his tongue and gave it a light taste.

Instantly, an acidic, numbing, and astringent sensation came from his tongue.

Yin Tian’s expression grew even darker!

The problem lay with this Qingming Grass!

"Master... what... what’s wrong?"

Doctor Hua asked timidly.

"The herb has been poisoned."

Yin Tian slowly spoke, his eyes flashing coldly, "Blood Tuoluo, a poison from the Western Regions that dates back three hundred years."

"Huh?"

Doctor Hua looked at Yin Tian blankly, never having heard this term before.

"Blood Tuoluo is colorless and tasteless, and you only sense something when you taste it. Once diluted with water, the taste becomes even fainter, and the poison isn’t strong, but it seeps into a person’s body bit by bit."

Yin Tian continued to speak, his face extremely grim, "This stalk of Qingming Grass has been soaked in Blood Tuoluo."

"What?"

Doctor Hua exclaimed in disbelief, looking at Yin Tian, "Master, who wants to harm you?"

"Of course, it’s the family from which I got the Qingming Grass!"

Anger laced Yin Tian’s voice as he continued, "The Chu Family!"

When he had gone to the Chu Family, he had intended to kill Zhao Wan and take the Qingming Grass, which led to a conflict with the Master of the Chu Family.

Afterward, the Family Head appeared and gave the Qingming Grass to him.

He had thought the Family Head of the Chu Family was quite reasonable.

Now it seemed that when he had the old man retrieve the Qingming Grass, he must have been instructed to lace it with Blood Tuoluo secretly!
