Chapter 530: Banned Drugs Appear in the Martial Arts Examination
The imperial physician treated him and said, "This is a symptom of the forbidden drug. He fainted because of nervousness and fear. I'm afraid he won't wake up for a while."
So they could only send the person to the room to rest and send someone to watch over him.
At this time, Qin Chengqian stood up and said, "Father, since banned drugs have appeared in Guanjiang Pavilion, he is probably not the only one who has taken them. Miss Pei's behavior today is also strange."
"In my opinion, a thorough investigation is necessary, and the results of today's competition must be invalidated!"
When I saw Qin Chengqian show up, I knew he had another trick up his sleeve.
Everyone became nervous.
Pei Xunzhi herself also fell into doubt. She had never taken any banned drugs on her own initiative, but she was afraid that someone had given her banned drugs. She had just defeated Fan Fuxing. Could it be that she was being plotted against?
The emperor looked solemn and spoke slowly, "We must investigate thoroughly."
"No outsiders have been in or out of Guanjiang Pavilion for several days. How and who brought this banned drug in? We need to investigate."
"Jiang Zhouye, the Dragon Guards were responsible for security this time, but they allowed banned drugs in. It seems your search wasn't thorough enough. Immediately conduct a thorough search for banned drugs in Guanjiang Pavilion."
Jiang Zhouye immediately stepped forward and responded: "Yes!"
The Dragon Guards then began searching each candidate and their room.
It takes a very long time.
At this time, Qin Chengqian said: "Father, no outsiders enter or leave Guanjiang Pavilion on weekdays, but General Jiang comes here every day."
"Jiang Ningwan, Jiang Zhouye, and Pei Xunzhi are all family. What if this banned drug..."
"I think it's necessary to search General Jiang."
As soon as the words came out, everyone's eyes were focused on Jiang Ningwan.
Jiang Ningwan's eyes turned cold. "Search me? Sure."
"But I'm a suspect, and the eldest prince might be too. After all, this isn't the first time the eldest prince has come to Guanjiang Pavilion, so we should search them together."
Qin Chengqian snorted coldly, "Suspect me? Fine, search me then."
He doesn't have any banned drugs on him, so what is there to be afraid of?
The emperor knew about their fight and wanted to find out where the banned drugs came from.
He nodded in agreement.
Because Jiang Ningwan was a woman, several palace maids were specially sent to search her body.
Searched carefully.
Suddenly, a medicine bottle fell out from Jiang Ningwan's sleeve.
Everyone was shocked.
Qin Chengqian was extremely excited and pointed angrily at the medicine bottle on the ground, "See! This banned drug is on Jiang Ningwan!"
"Jiang Ningwan, in order to help her people win the martial arts exam, did not hesitate to take banned drugs and harbor evil intentions. Father, please punish her severely! And expel all candidates from the Lingwei Army from Linjiang Pavilion!"
The emperor frowned, somewhat unable to believe it.
Everyone was sweating.
Only Jiang Ningwan remained calm as she slowly picked up the medicine bottle. "You say this is a banned drug? Do you have any evidence? This is just some wound medicine I carry with me."
Qin Chengqian said angrily, "Don't try to quibble. This must be a banned drug! If you don't believe me, let the imperial physician check it out!"
He had given the medicine bottle to Song Mingyu personally, how could he not recognize it?
Jiang Ningwan looked puzzled. "The imperial physician hasn't examined it yet, so why is the eldest prince so sure? Could this medicine bottle be yours?"
Qin Chengqian's expression froze instantly, and he said coldly, "Doctor Li, why don't you check it quickly!"
Doctor Li stepped forward, examined the medicine bottle, and then reported: "This is indeed just ordinary wound medicine, a medicine for external injuries. It cannot be taken, but it is not a banned drug."
Qin Chengqian was suddenly startled.
how could be?
The medicine bottle clearly contained banned drugs. Could it be that Jiang Ningwan discovered something strange in time and replaced the contents of the bottle?
Just when Qin Chengqian was distracted, the palace maid found several bottles and jars on his body.
Qin Chengqian quickly said, "These are all medicines for external injuries."
Doctor Li was checking as usual. When he opened a medicine bottle and smelled the odor, he was startled. After checking the pills, he exclaimed in surprise, "Your Majesty, this is a forbidden drug!"
"This medicine can increase internal strength in a short period of time, but it consumes a lot of energy and is toxic. This medicine is often used by people in the underworld and is only available on the black market."
Qin Chengqian's face turned pale in an instant.
"Impossible! This medicine is clearly for external injuries, how did it become a banned drug?"
"Father, someone must have framed me!"
As he spoke, Qin Chengqian looked at Jiang Ningwan with sharp eyes, and was shocked. It was her!
It was Jiang Ningwan who framed him!
But when did this medicine come into his body?
Song Mingyu?
He looked at Song Mingyu with sharp eyes. In the crowd, Song Mingyu lowered his head and avoided his gaze.
Qin Chengqian recalled that when he came to Linjiang Pavilion this morning to ask Song Mingyu, Song Mingyu did bump into him.
Was it then?
"Father! I remember now. I met Song Mingyu today. He bumped into me. He must have put the medicine on me then!"
"Your Majesty, please be wise. Jiang Ningwan and Song Mingyu must have conspired to frame me! Song Mingyu and Jiang Ningwan have been very close recently, and everyone knows it!"
At this time, Song Mingyu hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down, "Your Majesty, I am innocent!"
Jiang Ningwan said quietly, "It wasn't me, nor Young Master Song, who asked for a body search."
"If the eldest prince hadn't taken the initiative to search me, how could they have found this forbidden drug?"
"They said we were colluding to frame you, and I said the eldest prince staged this all on his own and was trying to throw dirty water on me."
Qin Chengqian was furious. "You are clearly slandering me! I..."
Before he could finish his words, the emperor angrily interrupted him: "Enough!"
With a roar of anger, Qin Chengqian lowered his head and dared not say another word.
The emperor could also see what was going on. This new policy was proposed by Wen Li, and no one wanted the martial arts exam to go smoothly more than Wen Li and Jiang Ningwan.
I will definitely not trip myself up.
"The Imperial Physician will examine all candidates. If they have not taken any banned drugs, the results will be valid and the competition will continue."
"Anyone who has taken banned drugs will be immediately expelled from Linjiang Pavilion."
Soon, the imperial doctors took turns to take the pulse of the examinees.
Pei Xunzhi rushed to the front, nervously waiting for the results of the imperial physician's pulse diagnosis.
Until the imperial physician checked his pulse and said, "He has not taken any banned drugs."
Pei Xunzhi's heart finally settled down.
She secretly rejoiced, thinking that she had indeed defeated Fan Fuxing!
After that, the imperial physician examined the patient's pulse and found no one taking banned drugs, so the competition continued.
Although there were some problems along the way, it went smoothly overall.
Also because of the appearance of banned drugs, after the competition, the emperor ordered that no one was allowed to enter Linjiang Pavilion again.
Qin Chengqian couldn't get in, and Jiang Ningwan couldn't get in either.
But it doesn't matter, it's only one day away.
After the martial arts exam, the candidates went home to wait for news.
Jiang Ningwan came to Linjiang Pavilion to meet Pei Xunzhi and the others. "How's it going? Is everything going well?"
Pei Xunzhi nodded, "I think it went pretty smoothly!"
"Your father is still busy at Linjiang Pavilion. We have already prepared a banquet for you at Ling's house. Let's go!"
The two of them got on the carriage one after another.
But at this moment, a familiar figure appeared outside the carriage.
"General Jiang."
Jiang Ningwan lifted the curtain and saw that it was Song Mingyu.
"Come up and talk."
Song Mingyu nodded slightly, stepped onto the carriage, and saluted Jiang Ningwan. "Thank you, General Jiang, for helping me and preventing me from going down this path of no return."
