Chapter 106 Extension of the Deadline Just when Zhaolin was about to check the bedroom in person, Zhu Lianzhi stumbled in, supported by several guards. Liu Qimei and Zhao Lin were shocked when they saw that his lips had turned black. “Be… be careful… someone wants to… harm your majesty… and put poison… in the tranquilizer… I tasted it… and was poisoned… It is very likely that it was Hong… Hong Mian… who poisoned… and Sun…” Zhu Lianzhi fell to the ground and died before he could finish his words. Zhao Lin ordered several people to check what poison Zhu Lianzhi died of. They all said that Zhu Lianzhi died of a deadly poison called "Soul-breaking Ink". This is indeed the case. Zhu Lianzhi's previous inference that his poisoning was most likely related to Hong Mian and the guard under Sun Guye was absolutely correct. At that time in the pharmacy, Zhu Lianzhi was relieved to put the herbs into the medicine pot after seeing Hong Mian leave with the guard under Sun Guye. In Zhu Lianzhi's opinion, Hong Mian had no idea what medicine he was going to boil for King Jingyin, so it was naturally difficult for him to poison the tranquilizer that King Jingyin needed in advance. Despite this, Zhu Lianzhi still felt that something was wrong with Hong Mian and the guard under Sun Guye, but he didn't figure out what the two people were doing secretly. For safety reasons, he carefully tested the herbs he was going to use for King Jingyin, and only started boiling the medicine after confirming that there was no problem. Zhu Lianzhi was alone in the pharmacy watching the medicine being boiled. After a while, the medicine was ready. While Zhu Lianzhi was decocting medicine for King Jingyin, no one else entered the pharmacy. Although the herbs had been tested before and confirmed to be non-toxic, Zhu Lianzhi was still worried. He thought that he was also responsible for the poisoning of King Jingyin last time, and he must not make any mistakes this time. At this time, he was the only one who could taste the medicine for His Majesty. After all, it was a calming medicine, and normal people would not be affected much after tasting it. If he didn't taste it, if His Majesty had any unexpected situation, he would be in great trouble.
Zhu Lianzhi poured out a little of the decocted medicine from the pouring spout of the medicine pot and tasted it himself. After tasting it, Zhu Lianzhi was poisoned by the "Soul-breaking Ink". Zhu Lianzhi knew that the poison he was poisoned with was "Soul-breaking Ink", and he also knew that the poison took effect quickly and there was no medicine to cure it, but he felt that he had to tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about this matter in person. If he told it through someone else, he was afraid that other complications would arise in the middle. This matter concerned the life of King Jingyin, and he could not be careless, so he immediately took out the "Extended Limit Pill". Although this "Extended Limit Pill" can make the dying person die later, it will make the person who takes it feel miserable before dying, so usually no one is willing to take this pill. But Zhu Lianzhi thought that he had been under the authority of some ministers for a long time, and he was very cautious in doing things, but he could not escape the fate of being poisoned. Over the years, he always thought about how he could live a more stable life, and he never thought about others and Jingyin Kingdom from the bottom of his heart. Even if he did things for others, it was for his own benefit. Now he was about to die. If the pain before his death could be exchanged for the Crown Prince's vigilance and the safety of His Majesty, thereby preventing the chaos in the country caused by His Majesty's accident, he would be considered to have died for a good cause. In this way, Zhu Lianzhi took the "Extended Limit Pill" in one gulp, allowing himself to live long enough to see the prince and say what he wanted to say. (End of this chapter)
