Chapter 633:. Bad News
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Su Qing was currently lacking this ingredient in the antidote. When she heard the Prince’s words, she shifted her gaze away from the princess consort and looked at him.
She had seen this at lingzhi in a report in her previous life. It looked like a fungus that could move, and the places where she could find it differed.
She heard that a man went to take out the trash. In the past, it was just a garbage dump. It was not like there were trash cans later on. The trash did not even have to fall to the ground.
In those days, people dumped garbage into the garbage heap. When the man was dumping garbage, he saw sothing moving, like a person breathing. He was curious and went over to take a look.
He fell ill when he returned ho and died three days later. The old people said that it was because he had caused trouble.
The Grand Duke blad him for his life.
That piece of rotten at that could move was Tai Sui, which was also known as the at ganoderma in Chinese dicine.
Su Qing was very curious. What did the Taisui that the Prince found look like? Did he breathe and move like a human?
Because the Flesh Lingzhi Mushroom was an essential dicinal herb for treating the princess consort, guards had always guarded it. It was the guards who carried the Lingzhi over. They used a large wooden bucket that could only be carried by four people. Su Qing raised her eyebrows. It seed that this Flesh Lingzhi Mushroom was very big.
The guard placed the wooden bucket on the ground. Su Qing walked over to take a look. This was different from what she had heard. The at lingzhi was very clean. It was white and fat as it spread out in the water. The water was also unusually clear.
“This at ganoderma is very magical. The water soaked in it is sweet. It can refresh one’s mind and strengthen one’s strength. It can cure illnesses and strengthen one’s body.”
Tamu explained to Su Qing that he had spent much money to buy this Flesh Lingzhi. He was only willing to sell it for 1,000 taels of silver.
He heard that cutting off a piece of at to eat could bring the dead back to life, so he ordered soone to cut off a piece for the princess to stew. Who knew that the next day, the at lingzhi would grow back? It was very magical.
However, the princess did not wake up after eating the at, which made Tamu very anxious. The godly doctor said that if the antidote could not be made in ten days, the Great Immortal would not be able to save the princess’s life. That was why Tamu took the risk to go to Heaven Mountain to find Snow Lotus.
“Is that so?”
Su Qing took a sniff, but there was no sll. She asked the system to scan it to see if it was a at ganoderma.
The system wasn’t as willing to work for Su Qing as Xiao Qi was. It dawdled for a long ti before replying,
“It’s a at lingzhi mushroom. It’s of the highest grade.”
With the system’s confirmation, Su Qing was relieved. She looked at Prince.
“I’ll use a lotus flower to exchange for half of your at lingzhi. Is that okay?”
“But that’s too much.”
Tamu agreed excitedly, afraid that Su Qing would go back on his word.
Su Qing watched as the guard took the knife to cut the at lingzhi. He felt that it was alive and knew how to dodge. The guard who cut the at lingzhi was trembling. His face was ashen, and his eyes were filled with despair. It was as if he was about to die.
He cut open the at lingzhi and bent down to get it. His nose began to bleed, and his face began to turn green. He fell to the ground.
The other guards looked at him sympathetically. The last guard who cut the at lingzhi died. They thought it was a coincidence, but they didn’t expect another one to die.
“Rumor has it that the at lingzhi is a holy spirit. If you disrespect it, you will be cursed.”
The Prince’s expression was also hideous. He did not want to believe this rumor, but two of them had already died.
“This half is enough to make dicine.”
Su Qing saw that no one dared to take the other half of the mushroom. She bent down and scooped it out of the water. The mushroom shrank rapidly in her hand. It went from the size of a waterlon to the size of a fist in less than a minute.
Her skin had also turned from pure white to wrinkled. The few frightened guards looked at Su Qing nervously, waiting for her to bleed to death from her seven orifices.
“Not bad, this is a good at lingzhi that can be used as dicine.”
Su Qing looked at Tamu and said.
“That’s good, that’s good.”
Tamu looked very flustered, and his eyes were extrely conflicted. He watched as the guard died. He didn’t dare to give the princess any more dicine.
Su Qing took out the snow lotus from the system. Everyone present, including Tamu, was stunned because she took it out of thin air.
Was this a god?
No wonder he had never seen her holding the snow lotus. Who could snatch it away?
The Prince was glad he did not listen to the guard and kill Su Qing. Otherwise, he would have offended the immortal.
“Greetings, Immortal. I beg Immortal to bestow dicine.”
Once Tamu confird that Su Qing was an immortal, he imdiately ca over and knelt on one knee to salute Su Qing.
“Let see.”
Su Qing was not sure that the sa poison poisoned Wangfei and Li’er. It would be easier to say only after a definite diagnosis.
Her current dical skills had already reached level ten. She could accurately detect the poison in the princess’s pulse.
The Prince and the guards did not dare to disturb her. They obediently stood guard at the side, and the guards did not even dare to breathe loudly.
After Su Qing checked her pulse, she determined that the poison that this wangfei was afflicted with was precisely the sa as Li’er’s poison.
Thousands of miles away, who poisoned him?
Su Qing’s expression was solemn, and his eyes were cold and sharp. The Prince, who was watching from the side, was so frightened that he held his breath and asked nervously,
“Immortal, is there no cure for the poison in the princess consort?”
“That’s not it. It can be cured, but even if she’s cured now, can you guarantee that no one will poison her again?”
Su Qing looked up at the Prince. His infatuation was comndable, but he still had to remind him of the cruel reality.
“The Prince should investigate the people around the princess consort. Who controls the princess consort’s daily life and food?”
Su Qing reminded him. She was unfamiliar with this place, unlike the Prince, who was the leader of Kashi. As long as he wanted to investigate, he could find out.
“Alright, I’ll arrange for soone to investigate.”
The Prince nodded. He had already investigated it. How could he not investigate if the princess was poisoned?
All the cooks, palace maids, and eunuchs who could co into contact with the Princess Consort’s food were sent to be interrogated, but no one admitted to it. Two of the cooks were beaten to death.
The Prince was originally a kind-hearted person. When he heard that the chef was beaten to death, he felt that it was fierce. In the end, he let everyone go, but he did not allow these people to stay in the palace on duty and chased them all out of the palace.
However, when Su Qing asked him to investigate, the Prince did not ntion anything about what he had investigated before. His benefactor was right. He had to investigate thoroughly. Otherwise, what if they poisoned him in the future?
There was another great turmoil inside and outside the palace. The cooks, maids, and eunuchs expelled from the palace were captured again. For a ti, everyone was in danger.
So people saw the Prince looking for the person who poisoned them with such great fanfare and left quietly. Not long after, when the palace guards went to arrest them, they only caught dead bodies. They were always one step late. It was as if there was a pair of eyes watching them. Their every move was clear to the other party.
Su Qing didn’t know what was going on outside. She said to the Prince,
“Is the divine doctor who treated your princess still here? I want to see him.”
“Yes, he is. He is still waiting for to bring Xuelian back to make the antidote for the princess consort. If the immortal wants to see him, I will imdiately send soone to invite him.”
Tamu hurriedly nodded and imdiately ordered soone to fetch the divine doctor. However, the person he sent brought back bad news..
