Chapter 317: Chapter 317: The Enchanting Diamond Flower Chapter 317: Chapter 317: The Enchanting Diamond Flower “Yes, I shall attend to it immediately.”
Suibai agreed, taking his leave without hesitation.
At the Elder Princess’s Mansion, Lin Caisang had been brought in.
However, given her unknown status, it was unlikely for her to meet the Elder Princess right away. Instead, she was led to a small courtyard to wait.
Treating royal members requires meticulous preparation and attention to detail.
First, Lin was tested on her recognition and knowledge of various medical herbs. She then had to treat several patients sent over from the Elder Princess’s Mansion to demonstrate her capabilities. Only then would she have a chance of treating the Elder Princess herself.
“Look, another doctor has arrived, and it’s a woman at that.”
“Of the doctors who came before, only two got the chance to see our princess. This young girl looks way too young. Can she do it?”
“She probably just came for a free meal. Doesn’t she know the meals at our Elder Princess’s Mansion are not something just anyone can afford? Many were banished by His Majesty before, failing to get the meal they sought and receiving beatings instead.”
The maids sneered quietly behind Lin Caisang’s back as she was led into the small courtyard.
Lin ignored their whispers, choosing instead to sit in a chair in one of the simplistic rooms that overlooked a vivid sea of flowering plants. She chuckled lightly to herself.
“This Princess’s Mansion is indeed impressive.”
If not for her superior skills, she would have succumbed to the alluring sea of flowers during her walk.
The flowers were none other than the Illusion-Inducing Diamond Flowers. The typical variety was yellow, but these were a pale purple, a surreptitious trap unsuspecting to most.
However, despite their hallucinogenic properties, these Diamond Flowers were also a rare medicinal herb. From their roots to their leaves, all parts held therapeutic values.
If she could find a way to utilize them…
With that thought, she stood up and sauntered over to the edge of the flower sea, stooping down to search intimately among the plants.
“I must say, the gardener here at the Elder Princess’s Mansion is truly skilled.”
Maintaining the vibrancy of Diamond Flowers requires a medical understanding; otherwise, the flower’s scent would have long overwhelmed the gardener, causing madness from the excessive inhalation.
After a short while, Lin Caisang found several seeds hidden within the flowers, which she secretly pocketed into her pouch.
“Go see what that girl is up to?”
In one corner of the courtyard, a small hole was carved into the wall. Outside, a man was trying to peep in but the hole was too small. He could only turn around to his two bodyguards and give them the command.
“Second Prince, it appears the lady doctor is simply admiring the flowers. The mansion’s garden is indeed beautiful. It’s only normal for a lady to favor the sight of blooming plants,” one of the guards responded without needing to look.
“Admiring the flowers?”
The Second Prince was taken aback.
Every single Diamond Flower in his aunt’s garden was planted by him. Did he not know the properties of those flowers?
Even he, the one who oversaw the upkeep of these flowers, always carried an antidote with him. And here she was, aimlessly admiring them. Was she not afraid of falling ill?
He couldn’t help but feel maybe he was the one who needed to admire the flowers.
