Chapter 1862: Fake?
Jiang Zhennan grabbed the man’s hand and said sharply,” Your hand betrayed your identity!”
His sharp eyes stared at the assassin, who was stunned for a moment, and he continued,” Your left hand is white and thin, and your right hand is obviously rough. There are thick calluses on the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger of your right hand, which shows that you usually hold needles or small daggers. There are also thick calluses on your palm and wrist. Only people who usually hold knives or swords will have calluses. This is a characteristic of martial artists. As for ordinary people, their hands are of average thickness.”
After listening to Jiang Zhennan, the man could no longer argue.
However…
Kacha!
Jiang Zhennan removed his chin and then took out the poison from his teeth.
Seeing that he couldn’t commit suicide, the assassin roared angrily,” Just kill me!”
Jiang Zhennan sneered. As long as you tell us why you want to kill Second Brother Hu, the Crown Prince and Princess Guguo can show mercy and spare your life!”
The man said angrily,”Do you think I’ll betray my masters? In your dreams!”
“Oh, really?” Lin Yuelan stood up and walked towards the assassin. She said with a mocking expression,” It seems like you’re very loyal to your master!”
“You… What are you doing?” Just like the others, the assassin immediately felt Lin Yuelan’s fierce aura when he saw her approaching him. He even felt as if she was weighing a thousand pounds on him. Cold sweat trickled down his forehead and back.
Even though he had undergone strict training, he could not withstand such a fierce aura at that moment.
Lin Yuelan looked at the nervous and frightened assassin. She calmly took out a red pill from her sleeve, which was actually her space, and said to the assassin,” It doesn’t matter if you don’t confess. This princess recently concocted a new medicine. Oh, this princess directly named it ‘Truth Pill.’ The special characteristic of this pill is that whoever eats it, as long as you ask him a question, he will tell you everything, including his ancestors and how many times he peed in bed when he was young!”
After hearing Lin Yuelan’s words, the assassin’s pupils suddenly contracted violently. His calm expression suddenly became nervous, fearful, and uneasy.
Everyone in the world knew that Lin Yuelan’s medical skills were outstanding!
No one would think that what she said was a joke.
If he really ate this pill, then he…
He didn’t dare to imagine the consequences.
Lin Yuelan picked up the pill, lifted his chin, and threw the pill into his mouth.
On the other side, the pupils of someone sitting among them also constricted violently. His hands clenched into fists again, and his veins throbbed as if they were about to be exposed at any moment.
This also showed his nervousness, anxiety, uneasiness, and fear.
He constantly comforted himself to calm down. He had to calm down. He could not mess up and let others see through his flaws.
He secretly took a few deep breaths.
Then, he stood up and said with an angry expression,” How dare you assassinate people in public? How arrogant!”
His angry gaze gave a hint to the man who was not completely confused.
The assassin’s eyes were filled with determination.
After saying that, he seemed to be furious and slapped the assassin.
Lin Yuelan’s eyes flashed, but she didn’t stop him.
Jiang Zhennan frowned and said coldly,” Your Highness, why are you so angry? No matter how stubborn this person was, he would definitely tell the truth after a while. At that time, it will be clear who the mastermind behind him is.”
The imperial grandson continued to speak aggressively,” Hmph, such a person should be taught a lesson first.” At this point, he paused for a moment and continued,” However, Great General, you’re right. In a moment, we must make him tell the truth. We must find the person behind the scenes!”
After saying that, he returned to his seat and sat down. His expression returned to normal.
A moment later, the assassin’s arrogant expression slowly turned into confusion, and his eyes became dull.
Lin Yuelan asked directly,” Tell me, who ordered us to kill Second Brother Hu?”
The assassin opened his mouth with a blank expression and said, “Yes… It’s…”
However, before he could explain the mastermind, blood started to flow from the corner of his mouth.
Then, without waiting for anyone to react, he fell to the ground with a bang. Then, he was unconscious.
Everyone was confused. He was clearly fine, but he suddenly fell to the ground.
The Crown Prince’s expression froze. A moment later, a sharp light burst out from his eyes. From the corner of his eyes, he glanced slightly in Yuwen Xuhong’s direction and coincidentally caught a glimpse of a smug look in Yuwen Xuhong’s eyes.
The Crown Prince’s grip on the gavel tightened. He took a deep breath and regained his composure. He looked at Lin Yuelan and asked,” Princess, what’s the matter with this assassin?”
Without waiting for Lin Yuelan’s response, Jiang Zhennan first checked the assassin’s breathing. Then, he looked at Lin Yuelan and nodded slightly. Then, he looked at the Crown Prince and reported,” Your Highness, this person is already dead!”
“What?” The Crown Prince stood up in surprise and asked in confusion,” What happened? You’ve already removed the poison from his mouth. Logically speaking, he shouldn’t be able to commit suicide again. But what’s going on now?”
Seeing that Lin Yuelan was about to examine the assassin, Jiang Zhennan took out a pair of gloves from somewhere and handed it to Lin Yuelan. Lin Yuelan took it and put it on. She squatted down to examine him for a moment before standing up and taking off the gloves. She said,” Crown Prince, this person died of poisoning!”
Hearing this result, not only were the Crown Prince and the others shocked, but even the commoners watching from outside were stunned.
What was going on?
How could a perfectly fine person suddenly die? Moreover, he died from poisoning?!
Poisoned? Oh, it seemed like he had eaten a real pill given by the princess of Guguo.
Could that thing be poison?
When Prince Ping heard that the assassin was dead, he immediately shouted at Lin Yuelan in rage,” It’s you! You poisoned him, didn’t you?”
Lin Yuelan frowned slightly when she heard that. Then, she sneered and asked,” Prince Ping, what do you mean by that? This assassin can reveal the person behind the scenes and prove my innocence. Why would I do such a stupid thing like destroying my witness?”
Prince Ping continued,” The assassin was fine, but after he ate your pill, he died. Hmph, even if you didn’t really want to kill him, even if you killed him by accident, it might be because of that poison of yours!”
