After checking the well water, Chai Yan asked what kind of wine he drank during the meal, and what pastries and fruits he used after the meal.
Ahudala said: "Master Chai, we did drink a little wine during the meal, but it was just a light drink. If I remember correctly, there should be half a bottle left, and it is now placed in the room. As for pastries and fruits, there are some.
, but I wasn’t hungry at that time, so I didn’t eat anything, so I drank some tea...”
After saying that, Ahudala looked at his entourage and asked: "Is the half jug of wine still there?"
The attendant hurriedly said: "It's there, I'm going to get it right now."
Chai Yan said: "Don't bother, let's go back to the house together. It's cold outside. Staying here for a long time is not good for your health."
"Master Chai is considerate." Ahhudala expressed his thanks.
Lu Bol didn't say a word.
Then, everyone returned to the room.
The attendant quickly found the remaining half jug of wine and placed it on the table.
Chai Yan walked over and picked up the wine bottle, opened the lid, looked at it, and smelled it: "Wine...is it the kind I drank in the Second Prince's car before?"
Ahudala nodded and said: "Yes, I saw Lord Chai was very satisfied with this wine, so I prepared some more, thinking that I would drink it with Lord Chai during the meal."
Chai Yan paused and couldn't help but said: "If only I had promised to come over for dinner..."
Ahudala shook his head and said: "No, no, luckily Mr. Chai didn't come. If he had been here, wouldn't he have been poisoned too!"
Chai Yan chuckled and said very confidently: "No! If I were here, none of you would be poisoned!"
After hearing this, Lu Bol couldn't help but sneer at the corner of his mouth. To him, Chai Yan's words were pure boasting, and he immediately asked: "Is it possible that Mr. Chai can also recognize poisons?"
Chai Yan said loudly: "Yes! Don't you believe it?"
"How could it be possible? If Mr. Chai said it was possible, then it would be possible." Lu Bol's tone was a bit strange.
Chai Yan ignored him, picked up a glass from the table, poured some wine into the glass, and drank it in one sip.
Ahudala was surprised again. Just when he was about to speak, he remembered that Chai Yan had mentioned when he was drinking water just now that he would know if it was poisonous or not as soon as he drank it.
Lu Bol asked in a nonchalant manner: "Master Chai, is there anything wrong with this wine?"
Chai Yan did not speak, but poured another small glass of wine and drank it in small sips.
Ahudala was very curious and asked: "Master Chai, is there anything wrong with this wine?"
"Wait a minute, I'll drink some more..." Chai Yan replied, then poured a third cup and drank it slowly.
Lu Bol couldn't help but wonder, didn't you claim to be aware of poisons? If you have any questions, just tell me, why are you still drinking?
"Master Chai, if you think the wine is not enough, we still have it in the car. Why don't you ask someone to bring you some more?" Lu Bol said something strange.
Chai Yan put down the jug, smacked his lips gently, and asked, "Second Prince, is the wine in this jug really the same kind as the one I drank in your car?"
"Master Chai, they are indeed the same species!" Ahudala nodded and confirmed.
The follower said: "But when I drink it, it seems to taste different from before. I would say the difference is huge, but it's not. But after I drink it and taste it carefully, I can feel that it is a little different. It's very subtle, very subtle, but
I’m sure it’s different!”
Ahudala puzzled: "Is there any? Why didn't I drink it? What's the difference..."
The attendant beside him said softly: "Second Prince, this pot of wine actually contains juice made from the roots of purple cloud grass. It's not much, just four or five drops..."
"Is there any extra?" Ahhudallah asked.
"Yes, Second Prince..." The attendant nodded affirmatively, and then added: "Every time you drink, you will add a few drops."
Ahudala immediately asked: "That means that the pot I drank with Mr. Chai didn't add anything to it, right?"
"Yes, I didn't add it," the follower said.
Ahudala said in surprise: "It's strange, I didn't drink it..."
The entourage said respectfully: "Second Prince, you were still feeling a little unwell at that time. Besides, the taste of the juice after adding purple cloud grass root is not very different, so it's not surprising that you didn't drink it."
"Sorry, I interrupted..."
Just as Ahudala was about to nod, Chai Yan suddenly interrupted.
Ahudala and his entourage both looked at Chai Yan, wondering what he was going to say.
"What is the juice from the roots of the purple cloud grass you are talking about?" Chai Yan asked curiously.
The entourage glanced at the second prince and answered: "Master Chai, Purple Cloud Grass is an extremely precious herb unique to our Muyue Kingdom. Its roots have the greatest medicinal value, and the juice produced is very beneficial to the body, so
When I drink wine on weekdays, I will add some to the Second Prince."
Chai Yan tilted his head and thought for a while, then asked: "Then why didn't you add to the pot that you two princes and I drank in the car?"
The attendant replied: "At that time, the time was too hasty. I was afraid that Mr. Chai would be neglected by waiting too long, so I didn't wait..."
"Oh, so that's it..."
Chai Yan nodded and said in his heart: It's strange that I believe you! You just said that purple cloud grass is an extremely precious medicinal herb. If you didn't add it at that time, you were actually reluctant to give it to a stranger like me!
Ahudala saw that Chai Yan was thinking about the problem, so he mistakenly thought that he was worried about the purple cloud grass root juice, so he said: "Master Chai, I have indeed been taking the purple cloud grass root juice. It is really a good medicine for strengthening the body. It is impossible."
That’s its problem.”
"Yes, I understand." Chai Yan nodded.
At this time, Lu Bol suddenly said: "Master Chai, I have been checking back and forth for so long, but I haven't found any progress. I don't know what to do next?"
Ahudala said hurriedly: "Deputy Envoy, Mr. Chai is busy investigating our affairs. How can you say such a thing?"
Chai Yan didn't look at Lu Bol and asked: "Second prince, where are the other envoys who were poisoned? Can I meet them and ask a few simple questions?"
Ahudala nodded immediately: "Of course, Mr. Chai, they are all resting in their rooms, I will have them brought here..."
Chai Yan shook his head and said: "No need to go to so much trouble. I'd better go over and ask myself. It's much faster..."
With that said, Chai Yan walked towards the door, pointing to the next door and asking: "Are they the ones next door?"
Ahudala hurriedly motioned to his followers to follow him and show Chaiyan the way.
When Chai Yan walked out of the room, Lu Bol said with an unhappy expression: "Second Prince, this guy named Chai is just wasting everyone's time. Just watch, no matter how much time he spends, he can't find out anything."
Anything that is not good for the people of Sheng will only put the responsibility for the poisoning on our heads in the end, and completely remove all the responsibility for their station!"
Ahudala did not speak after hearing this, but looked helplessly at the door, shook his head slowly, and finally sighed in distress...
