However, Qi Le could disappear, but Muhal couldn't keep doing that, or wouldn't everyone start to suspect?
On further thought, although disappearing was out of the question, Muhal could fall ill!
Wang Yongzhu exchanged a pill from Chen Xing and secretly handed it over to Bi Zhu when she came for the second time.
This pill dissolves in water without color or taste, with no symptoms for the first few days, but after five or six days, the person starts to feel fatigued, powerless, and increasingly sleepy.
The body weakens day by day, and within one to two months, it weakens to death, even the most skilled doctor can't determine the cause.
The pill was given to Bi Zhu, and whether to use it or not was her choice.
It was only ten days later that news of Muhal's illness spread.
A few days later, Muhal's periods of drowsiness grew longer each day, sensing something was wrong, he summoned several imperial doctors, including shamans, into the palace.
