LOVE OR DESTINY 2

Concubine Dugu immediately used that to further corner Lian Cheng. Liu Shang quickly defended Lian Cheng and told the Emperor that besides being afraid of fire, he was also impervious to red arsenolite (an arsenic mineral).
The container for storing the animal usually shows red arsenolite in its seal section. The red arsenolite will turn black if it reacts with the alkaline liquid.
Therefore, Liu Shang proposed that whoever touched all the gifts for the Emperor, put their hands into the basin filled with alkaline liquid to find out who did it. The emperor allowed
The alkaline water that Liu Shang asked for, was ready. The servants associated with the gifts were also included, including Xiao Tan and Pan Er. Liu Shang asked them to dip their hands into the water and use Xiao Tan to advance first.
"The innocent will not be afraid to do so. I'll go first!" Xiao Tan exclaimed with confidence and then dipped his hand in the water.
Only Pan Er seemed so agitated. As the maids crowded around dipping their hands, he quietly simply put his hands on the basin but did not dip them into the alkaline water.
After everyone finished dipping their hands, Liu Shang asked them to show their hands and check one by one.
Err.. but different from his previous claim, the hands of the servants turned black. It was clearly Pan Er's hand that attracted Liu Shang the most attention.
Liu Shang then announced that the water in the basin was actually not really able to test the poison because it was not alkaline water, but walnut seed water... which can make their hands can turn black.
In the flashback, it was true that Pan Er had secretly taken the painting and smeared it with the poison.
Pan Er sumpat ayak frantically, but he likes anything if he really does not know about the poison. He did that just because he hated Tan Er.
when he saw that it was Tan Er who was responsible for the gift from the 8th Prince, he deliberately smeared the painting with the medicine. He thought that the medicine would only damage the painting so that the Emperor would punish Tan Er. He really did not know that this medicine turned out to be a dangerous poison.
Tan Er is really upset. "Qu Pan Er, it doesn't matter if you want to acknowledge our brotherhood, but you even did a heinous thing to it! It was fortunate that Master Liu Shang discovered the truth in time. You are yourself by your own deeds."
Liu Shang took the small bottle from Pan Er's hand to research it. He confirmed that the bottle contained the eggs of the poisonous insect Guimian Xueling.
But this rare poison could probably be known by ordinary people. It took some time for the egg to hatch in the painting. The moment Pan Er intended to damage the painting, she definitely did not know about it.
Pan Er frantically confirmed it, he really did not know anything, he would not dare to injure the Emperor.
"But this poison is very rare. As an ordinary servant, how do I get this poison so easily?" Ask Liu Shang. "If you want to know from the charges, you have to uncover who's behind all this."
