Tan Rou quickly prepared the antidote, but it would take some time to work. While waiting, Tan Rou discussed the poisoning incident of Monica and the others with Samiyi.
Inside the treatment room, a doctor watched over the patients, so Tan Rou and Samiyi stepped into the adjacent resting room to talk, where no one else was present, just the two of them.
"Who do you think poisoned them?" Samiyi asked.
"I think we don't need to guess," said Tan Rou, "we both clearly know who it was."
"Do you also think she did it?" sighed Samiyi. "What was her motive?"
"Only she knows that," Tan Rou pondered another question. "Where did she poison them? In the royal palace?"
"That's possible," Samiyi said. "Didn't you find her in the palace yesterday? Maybe that was when she was poisoning Monica and the others."
"I don't think her purpose in coming to the palace was to poison those two," Tan Rou added.
