Chapter 979 Easy Come, Easy Go
The hourglass on the corner of the table continued to flow slowly and steadily, regardless of the mood of those around it.
Time passed little by little...
In the midst of this unbearable silence, the second watch drum sounded outside.
Following the sound of the second watch drum, the second watch clapper also sounded immediately... It's the second watch...
Sitting in the large chair, Xiao Jingyi heard the second watch drum sound, along with the second watch clapper, and felt as if heavy hammer blows were striking his heart and head one after another.
His heart ached, and his head ached so badly that Xiao Jingyi's grip on the armrest of the chair tightened and tightened, until the veins on the back of his hand bulged out as if they were about to burst!
Xiao Jingyi's face color changed from black to white, back and forth;
His brows furrowed more and more tightly, forming a knot.
Jiang Fang and Tong Lian observed Xiao Jingyi's behavior and exchanged a furrowed brow.
At this moment, the two of them really didn't know... should they step forward and say a few words of comfort?
Or will we continue to remain silent as before?
"Is there...is there an antidote?"
A question was asked abruptly.
Jiang Fang and Tong Lian could hardly believe their ears and immediately looked at Xiao Jingyi behind the desk, their eyes as if confirming whether the question just now really came from His Highness Prince Yi.
As if in response to their question, Xiao Jingyi's lips moved slightly, "Is there an antidote?"
This time, Jiang Fang and Tong Lian truly heard and confirmed that the question did indeed come from His Highness Prince Yi!
But... what does Your Highness Yi mean by this?
Was he asking about the antidote?
He was asking if there was an antidote for the medicine used on the Vice Minister's family tonight...
Is Your Highness Prince Yi regretting it?
Did he regret it and no longer want to silence him?
Jiang Fang and Tong Lian looked at each other again...
What are they supposed to do?
Even at this point, His Highness Prince Yi actually asked... is there an antidote?
This this……
But since the prince had already asked the question, they, as his subordinates, had to answer it.
After a moment of stunned silence, Jiang Fang and Tong Lian quickly stood up.
Jiang Fang bowed to Xiao Jingyi and replied, "Your Highness, the medicine administered tonight is... a rare medicine that requires two medicines to be combined to take effect!"
Half of the medicine is added to the food; even if a silver needle is used to test for poison, it will show no poison.
The other half of the medicine was a fine powder, which would stick to the lapel or the handkerchief.
Only if...only if a person eats that food, and then just...just smells the other half of the medicine, will that person truly be poisoned!
After the two medicines are combined, their effects will gradually take hold within a few hours.
People who take traditional Chinese medicine may unconsciously go crazy, harm themselves or others, and then... then die!
Those two medicines are separate... and non-toxic;
When combined... there's no solution!
Once the effects of that miraculous medicine take hold, even a celestial being would be powerless to save it!
Moreover...moreover...it's already this late, the medicine is about to take effect, even if there is an antidote, everything...everything is already too late!
Your Highness, you...you just...
Jiang Fang looked up at Xiao Jingyi and met his eyes with a murderous glare!
Jiang Fang quickly lowered his head, stammered, and shut his mouth, not daring to say anything more!
Jiang Fang dared not meet Xiao Jingyi's gaze, leaving Xiao Jingyi with nowhere to vent his frustration, anger, regret, and pain!
Feeling dizzy, with blurred vision and a dull pain in his chest, Xiao Jingyu felt like he could faint at any moment!
Furthermore, some people feel time passes quickly, while others feel it passes slowly; this depends on individual mindset.
In reality, an hour passed very quickly!
In the prison.
Zhang Jinyan was fast asleep...
Suddenly, Zhang Jinyan seemed to be having a nightmare. He first closed his eyes tightly and then started talking in his sleep.
Then, the voice talking in its sleep grew louder and louder!
Zhang Jinyan's hands first flailed wildly in the air, then she forcefully pulled at her hair and tore at her clothes, all while shouting and wailing loudly...
The silence in the prison was suddenly broken by Zhang Jinyan's commotion!
The jailers in the prison enjoyed a rare and delicious meal at Xiaofeng Restaurant for dinner, a treat they would never have in their lives!
After a hearty meal, they made their routine rounds and, finding the prison peaceful and without any unusual activity, returned to the small hall near the prison gate, where they sat down around the table and began toss dice.
Tonight, the Wang family not only brought delicious food from Xiaofeng Restaurant, but also gave each of them a bulging purse full of silver!
With the money, we had a much better time playing dice tonight than ever before!
Several prison guards were playing around noisily until nearly midnight, and some of them were already yawning.
Those who were tipsy had already slumped to the side and started snoring.
The remaining few played for a while longer, and some of their once bulging wallets visibly emptied out!
It's true! Money that comes easily goes easily!
In just a short while, my wallet is almost empty!
