770th Break: Bruise

"Yes, 'curse'." Qiu Wu nodded. "But, this curse… it was actually a poison." He told them.

"So, we are right that it was a poison." One of the imperial doctors sighed.

"But, how was His Majesty poisoned?" another doctor asked. "Also, why did it appear like a bruise? And a sunken flesh?" he frowned as the guards carefully lifted Jiang Yan before settling him on a bed.

Everyone looked at Qiu Wu, waiting for him to continue explaining.

Qiu Wu inwardly sighed. "This Bruise Disease was first documented twenty years ago." He started. "The first victim was a middle-aged man. One day, he found a bruise on his arm." He said.

"His arm?" Prime Minister Lin frowned. "But, the emperor…" he muttered and looked at Jiang Yan.
