The Emperor who also wanted to know what was inside the boxes, gave his permission to the physician to inspect the substances.
The physician was barely into his mid twenties and had merely inherited the title of imperial physician from his late father who earned it by merit. A guard presented a bottle from the box to the physician in a silver tray.
He picked it up, lifted it to the ceiling then brought the bottle to his nose. Barely seconds after he gasped and placed the bottle back onto the tray.
"Emperor, this is..."
"What is it?" The Emperor gripped his seat, anxious to hear his verdict. Depending on what he said, Wang Tengfei would have to suffer many a great consequence.
The physician shook his head, "Emperor this is indeed poison and such an ominous one! I've never seen something this suffocating and in such a large amount." He announced.
"What? Poison?!"
"Why was it at the general's residence?"
"Does Retired General Wang know about this as well?"
