Chapter 102: Transformation
"What does this prove?" Liu Qimei asked.
"First, this proves that the poison on the dart on the wall is not the same as the poison on the Liufeng dart used by the common people girl. Secondly, the poison on the dart on the wall is very likely the same as the poison on the flying needle used by the assassin who wanted to harm the common people girl at night." Yin Ruchen replied.
"What? Did an assassin use flying needles to harm you at night?!" Liu Qimei was very surprised.
"Yes, until now, the flying needle is still stuck in the wall. If you want to find out the truth, you can test the poison on these hidden weapons separately. The poison on the dart that killed Imperial Physician Feng also needs to be tested together. Maybe we can find some clues." Yin Ruchen said.
"Mother, today I went to find Miss Yin to practice martial arts for Your Majesty, and I saw two flying needles stuck on the wall of her residence. I can testify to this. For the safety of the palace, the matter of hidden weapons does need to be carefully investigated." Zhao Lin said to Liu Qimei.
Liu Qimei wanted to use this incident to punish Yin Ruchen directly, but when she heard Yin Ruchen talking about the assassin, she felt that the palace was not peaceful. If she didn't get to the bottom of the matter now, she was afraid that something more incredible would happen in the future, and who knows what disaster would befall her. The reason why she suddenly changed her attitude and hoped to get the matter clear was mainly because she was worried about the safety of King Jingyin. She thought that Yin Ruchen's treatment of King Jingyin for the past three days was known to everyone. If an assassin wanted to take Yin Ruchen's life before Yin Ruchen finished treating King Jingyin, it was very likely that he was targeting King Jingyin. The mastermind behind the assassin didn't want King Jingyin to wake up and recover, so he was anxious to kill Yin Ruchen before the last treatment. Once Yin Ruchen died, King Jingyin might have no hope of waking up. Liu Qimei felt great pressure. Although she had been swayed by emotions before, she always understood that punishing Yin Ruchen was a small matter, and the safety of King Jingyin and the entire palace was a big matter. So, she began to support Zhaolin to send people to conduct an in-depth investigation.
Zhao Lin immediately sent someone he trusted who would handle the matter impartially to test the poison on the darts on the wall and on the ground of Prince Jingyin's bedroom, and asked the person in charge to pack up the two darts and hand them over to him for personal safekeeping.
Next, Zhao Lin asked some people to stay in the palace to look after King Jingyin, and asked the queen and others to go to Yin Ruchen's residence. In order to ensure Yun Keyou's safety, he sent people to escort Yun Keyou all the way back to Yixianzhai.
It was actually quite unexpected that Zhaolin arranged those things in such an orderly manner.
Although the incident of the dart in the bedroom did bring back memories of the assassin entering the palace when he was a child, and he was indeed frightened again, this time it happened in the daytime and there were many people around him, and almost no one of them looked scared, which to a certain extent increased the possibility of him becoming calm and brave.
He knew that he couldn't show his fearlessness in front of others, so at first he just suggested to himself that he should be brave and capable, and this self-suggestion worked to a certain extent. In addition, his beloved Yun Keyou suggested that he help Yin Ruchen, and he felt that Yun Keyou had expectations of him, and he felt that he was a useful person in Yun Keyou's heart. He felt that he had to calm down, muster up courage, and take responsibility, so he forced himself to put aside the shadow of his childhood.
