Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 291 Little Mo Becomes Mo'er

"Okay." Chu Xiaohe nodded and immediately went to arrange the manpower.

Not long after, Chu Yi arrived with Zisu.

Zisu, holding a small bowl, whispered, "Miss, the blood used to draw blood from the Seventh Princess has been collected."

"Okay, get the room ready for me right away."

Chu Yueli took the bowl and looked at Chu Yi: "Has Third Aunt arrived? Bring the token and let her in."

"Yes!"

While everyone was busy, Lu Beimo looked at Chu Yueli with some interest: "Can I come along and broaden my horizons?"

They took Tuoba Liuli's blood to test for poison, but this is human blood. Once the toxins are absorbed into the human body, can human blood really detect them?

Such a skill is truly unheard of.

"It's just a trial. If Your Highness is interested, you may come and take a look and be a witness."

Lu Beimo was naturally interested in this kind of thing and had to go along with it.

Huo Qing entered the palace under Chu Yi's guidance. For convenience, Chu Yueli asked Zisu to take a room in the neighboring courtyard to be used as a place for everyone to discuss countermeasures during the investigation.

Huo Qing's method of testing for poison seems very simple, but most people simply cannot master the skills involved.

She has a set of specially made silver needles, specifically for detecting poisons; each needle can detect different types of poisons.

After Huo Qing first tried it with silver needles and seemed to have found out which category the toxin belonged to, she then tried it with another type of silver needle.

She repeated this process several times until finally, she placed the bowl of blood over a candle flame and slowly heated it until the blood became extremely thick and eventually turned into powder that could be crushed with a pinch.

Huo Qing held the powder to her fingertips and smelled it.

"Auntie, how is it?" Chu Yueli asked.

Huo Qing then looked at her and said, "It's aconite and safflower. Neither of them are poisons, but when mixed together, they can cause a person to fall into a short-term drowsy state. If nothing happens, the person will recover in no time and won't even realize that they've been drugged."

"Alright, Chu Yi, take my token and go to the Imperial Pharmacy to ask if anyone has taken aconite and safflower seeds within the past seven days."

"Yes." Chu Yi took the token and left.

Lu Beimo looked at Huo Qing with a puzzled expression: "May I ask, what was your past, Third Aunt...?"

"Don't call me that." Is that how he calls me Third Aunt? Can't he just call me Madam Qing?

Chu Yueli glared at him before saying, "My third aunt used to have a nickname: Ghost Hand Poison Immortal."

After a moment of surprise, Lu Beimo immediately became solemn and respectful: "So you are the famous Poison Immortal Madam. It is truly my greatest honor to have a third aunt like you!"

Chu Yueli almost wanted to strangle him; his ability to climb the social ladder was truly unmatched.

But Auntie San was delighted; being praised by the Great Demon King made her incredibly happy.

She smiled and said, "Our Ali is so lucky to have such a good friend as Mo'er."

Chu Yueli's vision went black on the spot.

Well! It's gone from "Xiao Mo" to "Mo'er," which sounds like how you would address your own child.

"Third Aunt, watch your words."

“Your third aunt is a江湖人士 (jianghu person, someone from the martial arts world), she doesn’t understand this rule,” Huo Qing said with a smile.

Lu Beimo smiled and agreed, "That's right, there are rules in the martial world. Third Aunt is right. Ali is still young and doesn't understand anything. I will teach her more in the future."

"Then you'll have to be more tolerant, Mo'er."

"sure."

"..." Chu Yueli really wanted to kick him.

Where is the aloofness and arrogance that belong to the Ink King? How come the big tiger turns into a little lamb in front of his aunts?
