Chapter 1232: Chapter 1231: Her Path, Completely Cut Off by Him

Father...

Before tonight, Chu Qianli never dreamed that her long-sought-after biological father would turn out to be Chu Jiangnan.

The Emperor of Nanming!

The moment she saw Nan Chu’s face clearly in the icy pond, she nearly collapsed.

Chu Qianli finally understood that indeed when blood ties are connected, the heart truly feels a palpitation.

That night, when Feng Yexuan used her, letting her sleep in the Dragon Bed before the watchful eyes of many, she was so desperate she wanted to die.

Apparently, recognition is ingrained within one’s bloodline.

As the daughter of the Emperor of Nanming, a Princess of Nanming, she actually... slept in the Emperor’s Dragon Bed.

A scandal within the Imperial Family treats the truth and the false the same; once spread, all is taken as truth.

Her path to acknowledge kin, wrecked completely by that bastard Feng Yexuan!

Approaching the bedside, she looked upon that incomparably beautiful man who lay there with no color in his cheeks, and the tears Chu Qianli had held back for so long finally rolled down uncontrollably.

"Little Lili..." Chu Wang’s heart stirred, not understanding why she suddenly burst into tears.

She and the Loyal Brother, was it not all pretense?

The man who slept in the Loyal Brother’s Dragon Bed that night was clearly Little Xuanzi; he was aware of this!

However, the way Little Lili looked at the Loyal Brother contained no hints of romantic affection, but rather... it was like a child’s admiration.

Anyone unaware would think that the man lying sick in bed, unable to rise, was her own biological father.

Chu Qianli closed her eyes, lifted her hand, and wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes.

"I am just lamenting how a wise ruler can be harmed to such an extent by those treacherous villains."

When her eyes reopened, there was no longer any emotion on Chu Qianli’s face.

She reached out her hand, placing her long fingers on Chu Jiangnan’s wrist.

The pulse was chaotic; the balance between the two deadly poisons from before had been disrupted by someone.

"What did the Emperor consume or use tonight?" she asked.

"Miss, everything the Emperor consumed or used tonight was personally prepared by your servant, I dare pledge my life, there will be no issues," said Little Shunzi as he knelt to one side, his face full of worry yet devoid of any guilt.

"I just want to see if there are any contraindicated substances."

"The medicinal meals were prepared according to the list I wrote," Liujin said quietly.

Chu Qianli nodded.

Since Liujin wrote the list, then the food and drink were definitely not the problem.

"Where did this third poison on the Emperor’s body come from? Who else has had contact with the Emperor?"

"A third poison?" Liujin and the others felt a sudden jolt in their hearts.

Liujin, in particular, turned ashen: "I... I didn’t notice..."

"It’s because it closely resembles the second poison, easily blending in, making it difficult for people to distinguish," she said.

But having dealt with poison closely for years, she could sense from the pulse that the toxins were not simple.

"...I’ll try to separate it."

...Dawn broke.

The tranquility of the Emperor’s sleeping chamber remained as usual.

From the outside, one could never tell that there were so many people beside the Emperor.

After nearly an hour of experimentation by Chu Qianli, she extracted the third poison—light smoky Mandala.

"But this... doesn’t seem like the toxicity of Mandala," she observed.

Liujin now understood how to separate the toxins, learning how simple and straightforward the process really was.

A few sheets of paper, several thin syringes, and some medicinal fluids.

However, all the ready-made tools were brought forth by Chu Qianli herself.

It seemed easy, but without these tools, it wouldn’t be possible.

"Light smoky Mandala is different from Mandala; it’s processed through refinement and smoke, and finally, when mingled with the scent of Five-Flavor Berry, it becomes a kind of floral fragrance," she explained.

Yang Xun, guarding outside, had a flicker of realization: "Floral fragrance?"
