Chapter 2154: Chapter 2154: Don’t Underestimate
But I can’t just give up on finding the St. John’s blue; maybe there’s another way.
“Baiqing, your mother actually ntioned St. John’s blue—does she have any ans to acquire this poison?”
Perhaps after obtaining St. John’s blue, there’s no need to go to the Northern Underground Palace; she might be able to concoct the antidote herself.
Or maybe, the poison that struck her husband is rely similar to St. John’s blue, and not exactly the sa. Who knows!
All of this could only be confird after she acquires the St. John’s blue.
“This…”
Upon hearing her words, Yin Baiqing hesitated.
“Sister Sangsang, I did try to gauge my mother’s attitude a mont ago. St. John’s blue is a royal secret poison held only by the emperor’s hand, but that doesn’t an others have no opportunity to co into contact with it.
It’s just…”
“Just what?”
Lin Caisang imdiately asked upon hearing the possibility.
“I just ntioned it, didn’t I? In a month, the St. John’s blue flowers will bloom, and the emperor will definitely go to the Northern Underground Palace. By then, the palace will have only so guards, and the emperor will not be there. As long as we can get in, we should be able to find St. John’s blue.
But if we do that, we won’t be able to go to the Northern Underground Palace in search of the flower.”
Yes, in that case, even if they knew that St. John’s blue was the poison that afflicted her brother-in-law, they wouldn’t have the ti to enter the Northern Underground Palace in search of the flower; they would have to wait another year.
“If we can find the St. John’s blue, why bother going to the Northern Underground Palace for the flower?” Lin Changhong couldn’t help asking.
“Brother Changhong, you don’t understand.”
Yin Baiqing glanced at Lin Changhong, who had been silent on the side, and curled his lip.
“The St. John’s blue flower can be used to create poison, but also to counteract poison. The poisonous ones are the blue blossoms, while the antidote cos from the purple blossoms. Both are rare variant species and extrely hard to obtain.
If we wish to obtain the purple St. John’s blue flowers, we must beat the emperor to the Northern Underground Palace.
But if we head to the emperor’s bedroom first to search for St. John’s blue, then we won’t make it to the Northern Underground Palace—how will we acquire the purple blossoms?
If we can ascertain that St. John’s blue is not the poison that afflicted my brother-in-law, then that’s fine.
But if these two poisons are actually one and the sa, wouldn’t we have missed our chance? It would be too late for regrets by then.
Sister Sangsang, Brother-in-law, what do you think?”
He was also considering for Sister Sangsang and her brother-in-law’s sake. After all, if both poisons truly were one, they would have to wait another year due to their speculation, and wouldn’t that be…
“Moreover, even if we obtain the St. John’s blue this year, the poison is so rare that the emperor will surely notice its absence when he returns to the palace. By then, the Northern Underground Palace will be heavily guarded. Next year, will we still have a chance to find the purple blossoms?”
“Tsk.”
Hearing Yin Baiqing’s words, Lin Caisang couldn’t help but click her tongue, her face full of smiles.
She raised her hand and patted the youngster’s head.
“Who would have guessed? This little one has a quite agile mind, and can think critically, considering so many possibilities. Mhm, not bad, not bad.”
She nodded in approval.
“Hmph.”
Yin Baiqing snorted and lifted his chin.
“I have always been quite capable, don’t underestimate .”
After all, he was destined to be Prince Niu’s little prince. Even though he had not been officially recognized yet, intelligence is often passed down from parents. What’s wrong with being like his mother?
