After transmigrating into the book, I replaced the innocent-looking girl and became the Crown Prince

Chapter 441 Poisoning

Xiao Qingyu did not answer Wu Weiwei's question. Instead, he took out a needle and inserted it into Qingzhu's Baihui acupoint.

He pulled the needle out after a short while.

Then, at the tip of the needle, a faint hint of green could be seen in the drop of blood.

Xiao Qingyu's expression changed.

"Senior Brother Xiao, is Qingzhu really poisoned?"

Seeing this, Wu Weiwei felt a little uneasy.

"That's right, the poison in his body is called Ghost Shadow. People poisoned by it will not have any reaction at first."

But once the venom enters the bloodstream, it's time to wait for death!

This is why the poison is known in the martial arts world as Ghost Shadow.

Upon hearing Xiao Qingyu's explanation, Wu Weiwei's face turned as cold as ice.

"Senior Brother Xiao, since you understand this poison, you must have a way to cure it, right?"

Then Xiao Qingyu sighed.

"Weiwei, I truly have no way to treat this poison..."

Hearing that even Xiao Qingyu was helpless, Wu Weiwei's lips curled into a bitter smile.

Seeing Wu Weiwei like this, Xiao Qingyu felt sorry for her.

"Weiwei, give me some time. I'll ask my master if he has any ideas..."

Yes, all of Senior Brother Xiao's skills were passed down from his master. Perhaps the old man really can save Qingzhu.

Those waiting outside couldn't help but feel uneasy when they saw Xiao Qingyu leave with a cold expression.

Especially Chen Jinshui.

"My lord, is the young master alright?"

Kuli stepped forward, asking nervously.

Wu Weiwei looked at him, and then looked at Chen Jinshui.

"Kuli, your young master has been poisoned, and his fate is currently unknown."

This poison was likely the work of the person standing before you!

"What? He really murdered our young master?"

Kuli drew his sword, the blade instantly pointing at Chen Jinshui, who was trembling with fear.

"Tell me, who instructed you?"

I thought it was just a common high fever, but I never expected that the young master was poisoned by villains. If something happens to the young master, how can I explain it to the old master!

"Chen Jinshui, I'll give you a chance. If you confess honestly, I might spare your family's lives..."

Wu Weiwei has just sent people to investigate Chen Jinshui, and she should have news back soon.

"Hahaha……"

Upon hearing Wu Weiwei's words, Chen Jinshui suddenly burst into wild laughter.

"why are you laughing?"

Seeing his arrogant demeanor, Kuli was furious.

His sword was only an inch away from Chen Jinshui's throat, but Chen Jinshui was not afraid at all.

"Guard Kuli, kill me! If you kill me, perhaps my family will still have a chance to live..."

Hearing his words, Kuli looked at Wu Weiwei.

Then I noticed her brows furrow slightly.

Just then, the person Wu Weiwei sent returned.

"how?"

Chunxiao looked at Wu Weiwei, her expression not pleasant.

“Master, I just went to investigate, and there is no one else in Chen Jinshui’s house except for some servants.”

Perhaps he knew he would be exposed, so he moved his family beforehand…

"You old beast! My young master has always treated you well, providing you with good food, drink, and lodging. I never expected you to repay kindness with evil and murder him. What exactly are you thinking!"

Kuwei gripped his sword, about to slit his throat.

With a single glance from Wu Weiwei, Chunxiao intervened and saved Chen Jinshui.

"My lord, he murdered the young master! I must kill him!"

Kuli's eyes were bloodshot, and his face was filled with murderous intent.

Looking at Chen Jinshui again, even though Ku Li almost killed him, he only showed sorrow in his eyes and remained silent.

"Chen Jinshui, if you reveal who's behind this, perhaps I can rescue your family!"

Wu Weiwei does not believe that Chen Jinshui moved his family in advance.

On the contrary, he was likely exploited because someone had his weaknesses exposed.

It's highly likely that his family members are controlled by someone behind the scenes, which is why they obeyed orders and poisoned Qingzhu.

But how did he manage to administer the poison so discreetly?

Xiao Qingyu just told her that the amount of poison in Qingzhu's body was not large, and it was probably administered in the last two days.

If Mulan Xueci's sword strike yesterday hadn't allowed the ghostly shadow to enter her bloodstream, Qingzhu probably wouldn't be in such a serious condition.

There must be someone here who is familiar with Qingzhu's living habits, and Chen Jinshui is the most suspicious person because he stopped Xiao Qingyu from taking Qingzhu's pulse earlier.

Looking at the stubborn old donkey in front of her, Wu Weiwei wished she could kill it on the spot.

But she can't.

Although she hated him, Chen Jinshui couldn't die yet!

"Kuli, you can go now! I will definitely find the culprit who harmed Qingzhu!"

"Can you really do that?"

Kuli hesitated.

He wanted to believe Wu Weiwei, but he was also worried that she didn't have the ability.

After all, it was always the young master who helped her with these kinds of things in the past.

Now that the young master is in a coma and his life hangs in the balance, it's hard to say whether Wu Weiwei can avenge him.

Seeing Ku Li's questioning gaze, Wu Weiwei gave a wry smile.

"I, Wu Weiwei, guarantee you with my integrity!"

Wu Weiwei had never made such a promise to anyone before, but because he was Qingzhu's man and a loyal subordinate sent by the Luo family to protect the only son of the Luo family, she was willing to make that promise to him.

Hearing this, Kuli finally left.

"Say it!"

After Ku Li left, Wu Weiwei gave Chen Jinshui a cold look.

She could tell that Chen Jinshui seemed to have some issues with Kuli, so she couldn't interrogate him while he was there.

"I'm thirsty, I'd like some tea!"

Seeing Kuli leave, Chen Jinshui did indeed breathe a sigh of relief.

"Wanqiu, serve tea!"

Seeing Chen Jinshui drinking cup after cup without stopping, Wu Weiwei frowned.

After a moment, he finally put down his teacup.

"Your Majesty, you just said you could save my family?"

Upon hearing this question, Wu Weiwei immediately felt confident.

"Of course, if you want your family to live, you must cooperate with me, otherwise this day next year will probably be the anniversary of your family's death..."

Although there was an element of exaggeration in her statement, it's not impossible.

"Don't try to fool me. They said they'd release my family if I poisoned the leader!"

Chen Jinshui touched his ear, his tone revealing unease.

"Hehe, Dr. Chen, you're too easy to fool!"

Seeing his little gesture of touching his ear, Wu Weiwei knew that he probably didn't trust that person.

"You listened to that person and poisoned Qingzhu. Do you think the person behind it will let you go?"

Although I don't know who that person is?

But let me tell you, even if Qingzhu dies, even if I die, that person will never become the ruler of Qingwu Kingdom! And you…”

Wu Weiwei looked at him.

"Even if that person succeeds in his goal and lets you go, you will eventually be killed by my men for murdering Qingzhu. Your family will suffer the same fate as you!"

Upon hearing Wu Weiwei's words, Chen Jinshui looked astonished.

He wiped the large beads of sweat from his forehead. "Who, who exactly are you?"

Wu Weiwei looked at him with a smile.

"I am just a woman, though of course, I am now the monarch of Qingwu Kingdom."

But you must believe that there are always people more capable than you, and the world is not just a small kingdom like Qingwu!
