Chapter 1979: Fruit

After speaking, she carefully broke the fruit with her injured hand.
Everyone hurried forward.
When the black-green peel on the surface broke apart, what they saw was not the walnut that they thought, but a dark fruit with a smooth skin.
Nan Yan frowned: "What is this?"
Aunt Tongyun also watched carefully for a long time, shook her head and said, "This, this is not walnut. What kind of fruit is this?"
None of the surrounding Ran Xiaoyu knew any of them.
Xue Yun said, "This thing is called Ma Lizi."
"Ma Lizi? What is this?"
"It's no wonder that you don't know it. This is a kind of fruit produced in the Western Regions. The output is very small. Because it is poisonous, it is rarely seen by everyone."
"poison?!"
Everyone was taken aback when they heard this word.
Ran Xiaoyu said immediately: "You mean, that tree in our yard is poisonous?"
Xue Yun said hurriedly: "Girl Xiaoyu, don't panic, that tree is a walnut tree, yes, but this fruit is not a walnut, but a hemp chestnut."
Everyone looked at each other.
Nan Yan whispered: "You mean, someone threw the fruit of this poisonous hemp chestnut under the walnut tree?"
"It looks like this now."
Nan Yan thought for a while and said, "Take it to this palace and see."
Aunt Tongyun immediately stopped: "Manny, this is poisonous!"
Nan Yan glanced at Xue Yun again, and Xue Yun said: "I didn't make it clear just now that this fruit contains traces of toxicity and is not deadly, but it makes people mentally paralyzed, and it will cause nausea and vomiting."
Nanyan Road: "How do you know?"
Xue Yun smiled and said: "The Xue family is doing medicinal material business in Bailongcheng, and has a lot of contacts with countries in the Western Regions. Our family also has these things."
"This can also be used as medicine?"
"Of course, any poison can be used as medicine if it is formulated properly."
She said, her eyes flickering towards Nan Yan.
Nan Yan immediately understood the meaning of her words. It was like the marrow flower they had asked her before. It was also poisonous, but it was also the antidote that saved Ye Qian.
Aunt Tongyun also said: "It's true that medicine does not separate family."
Xue Yun said again: "Our family punishes the subordinates. Usually, they don't fight. Let the subordinates eat the hemp chestnuts, eat one or two, and keep the nausea and vomit for a day or two. It feels more uncomfortable than being beaten."
"Oh?"
"Therefore, the subordinates have been punished once, and they are all well-behaved. On the contrary, it is better to hurt their muscles and bones after being beaten."
Nan Yan raised her eyebrows slightly.
Looking at the fruit in her hand, she said, "But I haven't eaten this thing?"
Xue Yun said, "It doesn't necessarily mean to eat."
"Oh?"
"After the mother is pregnant, her physique will be weaker than that of ordinary people, and pregnant women will be more sensitive to smells and tastes, so--"
"So, my palace has actually smelled this smell, but I can't feel it. Is it affected?"
"Not bad."
Xue Yun nodded and said, "Moreover, I just checked it carefully. There are still several under the tree over there. These hemp chestnuts are very similar to walnut fruits. They are almost indistinguishable when they are mixed together, and their taste is also very weak. Plus. This thing was originally uncommon in the Central Plains, so no one around the empress can recognize it."
Nan Yan was silent for a while.
Then slowly said: "It seems that the people who threw this thing here have some understanding of the people around this palace."
Aunt Tongyun frowned upon hearing this.
