Chapter 336: Chapter 336: Chronic Poison, Absolute Cliff Chapter 336: Chapter 336: Chronic Poison, Absolute Cliff “What?!”
Upon hearing Lin Caisang’s words, the Eldest Prince was truly astonished.
He could never have imagined that the petunia, beloved by everyone in the palace, could be such a terrifying thing.
“Of course, the root and stem of a single petunia cannot be purified into a tiny pinch of abyss orchid scent, it needs to be in large quantities.” As he was still reeling in shock, he heard Lin Caisang’s calm voice again.
He let out a soft sigh.
Glancing to the side, the Eldest Prince looked at the sachet in Lin Caisang’s hand.
“It is bredia quadrangularis cogn. While the amount of abyss orchid scent in petunia’s root and stem may be minor, it is still poison. When mixed with bredia quadrangularis cogn, it will become a kind of slow-acting poison – cliff.” Lin Caisang explained.
“Petunia naturally grows on steep cliffs, while bredia quadrangularis cogn grows beneath. When petunia’s root and stem decay, the runoff with the rainwater will reach the place where bredia quadrangularis cogn grows. After the brewing of natural essence, a unique scent is produced that attracts snakes, insects, rats, and ants to come to feed on that scented moisture.
Once passed through these small animals’ bodies, it will become the ‘Cliff’ poison–a poison that few people know about.”
“Of course, I don’t have such poisons here.”
Before the Eldest Prince could ask, Lin Caisang spoke, stating directly.
She would have to be overly idle to play with these poisons. Besides wasting her time spent earning money, it would also earn her a malicious reputation.
However, if she got free time in the future, she might try. If someone really upset her or did something unforgivable, she wouldn’t mind using these poisons to kill them, to vent her discontent!
The Eldest Prince answered.
It’s normal that she wouldn’t have such a hard-to-make poison, but he didn’t really care about how the poison was made. The key was how to neutralize it.
“Miss, can the poison in my aunt’s body be neutralized?” He asked.
“Although it is difficult to neutralize the ‘Cliff’ poison, it’s not impossible, but…” Lin Caisang hesitated for a moment, looking at the sachet in her hand.
The Eldest Prince immediately asked.
“Miss, is it because the ingredients to make the antidote are hard to find? Just speak, even if it requires me to go through all kinds of trials and tribulations, I will find them to save my aunt.”
As long as it could save his aunt, he would go find them. The territory of Liang Kingdom is vast and richly endowed, how could he not find some medicinal ingredients?
“It’s not an issue about the ingredients.”
Lin Caisang shook her head and took a deep breath.
“Now we have only found the source of one poison, there’s still…”
The Eldest Prince widened his eyes, exclaiming.
“What do you mean by ‘there’s still’? Does that mean my aunt is poisoned with something else, not just the one you said, the one called ‘Cliff’? How is that possible?
My aunt has always been peaceful with everyone, miss, you have seen it yourself, my aunt always stays here, if not for the Princess’ Mansion, she hardly ever goes anywhere else, and she rarely steps into the palace. Who would want to take her life, and her life…”
Is it worth any money?
He couldn’t bear to say these words but they were the bitter truth.
Even though the Emperor loves his sister, the Elder Princess, she indeed keeps to herself. On a normal day, other than going to the temple, she spends most of her time at the farm on the outskirts of the city. The people around her are all brought in from the farm.
The Emperor has had people investigate, and none of them have nefarious intentions–they are all hardworking farmers.
