4 Someone Poisoned Her! 2 (1/2)

Jiang Mingyue nodded with enthusiasm. She pulled out a pouch from her pocket and put the contents on her palm. Soon, there were small purple flowers on her hands.

”They look like those bellflowers I have in my garden.”

”Except that it's not the usual bellflower. This one is called the moon bellflower. They only bloom during full moon once a year,” Mingyue explained and pointed to the almost translucent anther. ”It's anther is what make the moon bell different than the ordinary bellflower. It glows during a full moon. Unfortunately, besides the Nanshan tribe, not many know how to harvest the flowers correctly.”

The princess glanced towards her. ”Don't you know how?”

Mingyue shook her head. ”Even if I know how, I wouldn't dare to harvest it with my current knowledge. I heard that if you didn't harvest the flower correctly, there's the possibility that the flower would turn into poison.”

The princess heaved a sigh. She would forbid her cousin from doing something dangerous, but Jiang Mingyue entered the woods and trespassed the Nanshan tribe settlement to search for the herbs her sake.

Three years ago, the Princess fell into the pond and caught a high fever. If she had not ingested the medicine prepared by the Royal Infirmary, there was no way that they could find out that someone poisoned her!

The strong medication had reacted against the poison and forced the Princess into a coma. Even the people from the Royal Infirmary could not do anything about it.

In the end, the Emperor had summoned the retired Han Zhengting to enter the palace.

Han Zhengting is the father of the Empress and also the grandfather of both Jiang Mingyue and Princess Lingchen. He was a famous and capable physician in Royal Infirmary and had served the Royal family for two generations. His knowledge of medicine gave him the title of Divine Doctor of Da Cheng.

With Han Zhengting's skills, they found out that for a few years, the Princess has been forced to ingest a small dose of poison through her daily supplement soup.
