89 Detoxification: Pain Of The Lingering Death

"Imperial Consort Xi has been afflicted with Fantasy Beauty," Ye Jiuge explained.

Fantasy Beauty was a very strange poison that could repress injuries. On the outside, while the injury may have seemed to recover, inside, the wound was festering continuously. The even stranger thing about Fantasy Beauty was that a patient could not consume medicine capable of clearing internal heat or detoxifying. The more powerful the Spiritual Medicine, the greater the pushback from Fantasy Beauty.

The Thousand Mountain's Snow Lotus, which Emperor Xuanwu had obtained, was practically a lethal poison for Imperial Consort Xi. As Fantasy Beauty was a very elusive poison, when they checked her pulse, the Spiritual Doctors had not been able to tell that Imperial Consort Xi had suffered a miscarriage or that she'd been poisoned. As such, they'd blamed her condition on a strange illness.

"How did the Empress obtain all these poisons?" Dongfang Que's heart sank.
