71 Fall into a Trap: The Empress' Scheme

As she checked Dongfang Que's pulse, Ye Jiuge opened her Spiritual Eye and examined his body. His five viscera and six bowels had turned black. Only a ball of bright, golden light near his heart meridian was protecting his heart. His pulse was extremely erratic: it sped up suddenly then slowed down. Ye Jiuge could barely obtain a reading for his liver and spleen—a symptom of poisoning.
