Chapter 284: Chapter 286: The Culprit
After spotting the tiny creature, Feng Bailing beckoned to it.
The little one was very clever and quickly scuttled to Feng Bailing’s feet.
“It’s Baishan, it must have gone to play with Hei Dian and got rejected. Hei Dian thinks it’s too weak to play with.”
Chun Liu smiled with lips pursed.
Baishan was actually a wolf, but because it had been malnourished and bullied by people in the palace since birth, it was still very small after one or two months.
It disdained playing with the hunting dogs in Prince Shun’s Mansion. After Hei Dian’s arrival, it followed him everywhere, but unfortunately, Hei Dian was a fierce Wolf King who did not fancy the weak and little Baishan, kicking it away every ti they t.
Baishan, however, was not discouraged and kept seeking out Hei Dian.
Baishan was very happy upon seeing Feng Bailing.
It recognized Feng Bailing’s scent; she was its lifesaver.
It wagged its tail at Feng Bailing, dropping what it held in its mouth, and its pink tongue licked Feng Bailing’s hand.
“What’s this?”
Upon seeing what Baishan was carrying in its mouth, Feng Bailing picked it up.
“Its mouth and paws are all covered in mud; it must have just dug it up from the back door, getting its clean fur all dirty.”
Chun Liu scolded with a laugh.
“A sprouted potato.”
Feng Bailing stared at the potato Baishan had unearthed.
“You go to the dining room and tell them that they have been cooking very well recently, and let them go to Wu Courtyard to receive their reward.”
Chun Liu stared in puzzled confusion, but as she always listened to Feng Bailing, she hurried off to the dining room.
Soon, the people from the dining room had all left.
Feng Bailing, unhurriedly taking Baishan with her, went to the back door of the dining room.
The back door of the dining room led to an open plot of land planted with scallions, garlic sprouts, and chilies.
“Baishan, where did you dig this out from? Dig it all up for .”
Feng Bailing pointed to that plot of land.
Baishan was very clever, rushing forward with the deanor of an excavator, and in a few monts dug up a pile of potatoes from the seemingly flat land.
Compared to the one in Feng Bailing’s hands, the potatoes Baishan just uncovered were not only sprouted, but so had also turned green.
Feng Bailing looked at the dirt on the potatoes; it was fresh soil, and there were even several hoes with wet soil next to the back door. Feng Bailing’s gaze beca heavy.
Sprouted potatoes contain Solanine, and the green peels on those potatoes also contain Solanine.
In Great Chu, this toxin was not recognized as a poison and could not be detected with a silver needle.
Feng Bailing rembered that in Wu Courtyard, there was a type of pastry made with potatoes.
Xiao Li enjoyed soft and sticky sweets, and this potato pastry was sothing she would use as a snack on a daily basis, also prepared by the dining room, whereas Feng Bailing did not have a sweet tooth, so she did not eat much of it.
If Solanine is consud in small amounts, it can be tabolized by the human body, causing only a slight itch in the throat, but if eaten in large quantities and repeatedly consud, it could lead to poisoning, even posing a life-threatening danger.
Why would there be so many green and sprouted potatoes in the kitchen of Prince Shun’s Mansion?
Feng Bailing calmly collected so potatoes and reburied the rest back into the ground.
When Chun Liu returned, Feng Bailing sent her to inquire around Prince Mu’s Mansion.
After spending so silver, Chun Liu quickly gathered so information and ca back with a very pale face.
