Chapter 367: Chapter 359: Disrespecting Your Majesty, Active Substances Detected in Blood_2

Qian Yisheng: "..." What is this about?

He was both amused and helpless, "I learned it from my sister."

"Yiheng, isn’t she working at the art academy? How did she get involved with people in the entertainment industry?"

As it happened, they hit a red light, so Qian Yisheng stepped on the brakes, grabbed the phone from beside him, opened the profile picture of his sister in the friends list, and then opened her Moments. He handed the phone over, "Check out her latest post; she even asked me to like it for her."

Zhang Lingxuan took the phone and saw a pinned post on the screen with quite a few likes.

"Ahhh, I finally got my hands on the calligraphy I’ve been dreaming of. I love it so much! Showing off a bit, don’t be too jealous!"

Zhang Lingxuan almost couldn’t believe her eyes for a moment.

She’s in her thirties, why does she sound like a fangirl?

There was a photo attached below, and she clicked on it with a bemused expression, her eyes landing on the five Chinese characters written with a brush.

Even though she didn’t inherit her grandfather’s talent for painting and calligraphy and showed no interest or patience for it, being from the Zhang family of Zhang Nachuan, she’d seen plenty of excellent handwriting and paintings since childhood, and her appreciation ability was cultivated over time.

Even if she looked at the writing with a particularly critical eye, she couldn’t find any "flaws." Then she remembered that her husband wouldn’t show her this post for no reason, and an unbelievable suspicion slowly formed in her mind: "These words... were they written by Jiang Lingxi? Isn’t she an actress, how can she..."

The rest of "write such great calligraphy" was swallowed back.

Before the car started again, Qian Yisheng looked deeply at his wife, who was full of doubt, "The old man always values his family more."

So whether it’s a warning or a reminder, it’s always out of goodwill.

Whether Zhang Lingxuan heard this reminder or not at that moment was something only she knew.

Let’s rewind to fifteen minutes earlier.

The sunset covered the entire lake, and the exquisite lanterns hanging from the four corners of the lakeside pavilion quietly lit up.

Jiang Lingxi had just put down her chopsticks when she saw the phone belonging to Shen Yunqing on the table light up.

Shen Yunqing was busy tidying up the dishes, her hands full, and when she noticed Jiang Lingxi looking over, "Majesty, would you mind answering it for me?"

Jiang Lingxi raised an eyebrow, picked up the phone, and glanced at the caller ID displaying "Lu Ye," swiping to answer, "Hello, Mr. Lu."

On the other end, Lu Ye: "..."

He was still in the lab at this moment, his lab coat still on, and upon hearing the woman’s voice over the phone along with the faint sound of dishes clinking, he paused for a few seconds, "Mrs. Shen?"

This time, it was Jiang Lingxi’s turn to pause.

"Ahem, have the blood test results come out?"

Although it wasn’t Shen Yunqing answering the phone, someone who had access to her phone and knew about her sending the blood sample for testing must have her permission.

Lu Ye quickly thought it through and replied in an orderly manner without doubt, "Yes, I detected a very special active substance in the blood, but I’m not yet sure what exactly it is. Moreover, this substance has a peculiar characteristic. I just conducted a comparative experiment using three types of blood: animal blood, blood that had been stored for a while, and freshly drawn human blood."

At this point, he paused, his tone turning more incredulous, "Experiments have shown that the substance is least active in animal blood, moderately active in stored blood, and most active in fresh blood. It even shows signs of division and regeneration, becoming increasingly active. I’ve never seen anything like this before. However, the sample from the tissue was too small to detect more functions. Can I know whose blood this is from? Could you provide more? I might be able to detect more things."

When Lu Ye mentioned the test results, Jiang Lingxi switched the phone to speaker mode.

The two of them exchanged a look.

It’s now almost certain that Xu Qingmei did put something in the scratch on Jing Huai’s nail.

Shen Yunqing looked at the phone, and Lu Ye was still waiting on the other end.

"We can’t provide more blood for now, so let’s stop the research here. Thank you, Lu Ye."

Lu Ye was a bit disappointed but also prepared; what was sent to him was just a blood-stained tissue, not blood, which clearly indicated the source couldn’t be easily disclosed.

"Alright then, I’ll see if I can cultivate the substance a bit. You and your wife get busy; I need to go eat too, I’m starving from all the work."

Hearing the term "wife," Shen Yunqing’s fingers trembled as she reached for the phone, almost dropping it back on the desk. She braced herself, "That substance could be harmful to humans. If you’re going to cultivate it, make sure to protect yourself and be extra careful."

"Okay, I will be careful."

After hanging up, Shen Yunqing’s actions became somewhat awkward.

When did Lu Ye start calling that? If it was from the beginning of the call...

Instead, Jiang Lingxi had already brushed off the "Mrs. Shen" address and maintained her composure, saying naturally, "Now we’re just waiting for the hospital’s test results. They have ready samples; let’s see how much they can find out."

Shen Yunqing breathed a sigh of relief, "But the hospital’s process might be slower."

Lu Ye’s lab could arrange tests immediately upon receiving samples, but the hospital had to go through procedures and possibly wait in line.

"That’s true, it’s already evening; we’ll probably have to wait until tomorrow. We have to wait it out!"

It’s almost September, and there was rain during the day; now a breeze drifted across the lake, bringing a chill.

"It’s getting windy, let’s head back."

Jiang Lingxi saw Shen Yunqing discreetly rub her hands under the table and remembered what Assistant He said about her poor health, so she stood up and led the way back.

They hadn’t gone far when they saw Xia Zhi hurriedly running toward them from afar, with a black and a white cape draped over his arm.

Upon seeing Jiang Lingxi, Xia Zhi quickly stopped and stood properly, "Your Majesty, Miss Jiang. It’s getting windy, so I brought you and sir some capes."

Jiang Lingxi smiled and nodded at him, "Housekeeper Xia is still so considerate."

"You flatter me; it’s what I should do."

Jiang Lingxi glanced at the two capes Xia Zhi brought over and reached for the black one, draping it over herself.

She’d been wearing white all day and was getting visually fatigued.

Seeing this, Xia Zhi swallowed the words that were about to come out.

The black one was actually meant for sir!

Jiang Lingxi only realized the black cape was a bit long after putting it on. Seeing Xia Zhi’s face of hesitation, she casually tied the cape’s string.

If it was a mistake, let it be.

After all, she wouldn’t be embarrassed.
