Huang Chenling thought for a while, hesitated for a while, and asked calmly: "What is its toxin like? Since it is a chronic poison, there is no reason why the people in the palace don't know about it?"
The middle-aged man looked slightly unnatural and explained: "It's not that I don't know, maybe I'm hiding it deliberately. If it is made into a medicine, it will produce a hidden toxin when it enters the human body. Normally, you won't notice it.
The more you take it, the more toxins will accumulate. At that time, the poison will start to appear before people know it, and it is impossible to judge the cause through medical doctors. Most people will think that it is natural death."
What Yan Ruocheng heard from him was only superficial, and the specific toxicity was unclear. Even if it is a hidden toxin, it will be detected after the poison is released. How could he die of natural causes? Such an outrageous judgment.
.
"Brother, are you sure you know this much?" She couldn't help but interrupt and asked.
"Well, that's all I know. I don't know much else." The middle-aged man said with certainty.
Huang Chenling winked at the guard beside her, who took out a prepared bag of gold from her body. She put it in front of the middle-aged man and said with certainty: "I wonder if brother has any stock of this herb? I'll buy it all."
Come down."
The middle-aged man shook his head and said: "Sorry, sir, I don't have any in stock here. If you want it, just go look for it near the dry cliffs of Beifeng Mountain."
Yan Ruocheng murmured in her heart: "If I can find it, I don't have to come to you to ask." She glanced at Huang Chenling to see if he had any other ideas. She always felt that this middle-aged man was hiding something. Normally.
Herb collectors always keep precious herbs in stock. No matter how expensive or rare the herbs are, they will keep some as a talisman and will not buy them out. This is a thousand-year custom of herb collectors. How could there be no inventory?
"Well, since you don't have it, there is nothing you can do. Can you take us to search near the dry cliffs of Beifeng Mountain tomorrow?" Huang Chenling said.
"I'm sorry, sir, I won't go near the dry cliffs of Beifeng Mountain again. You should find other herb collectors to take you there. Besides, this herb may not grow at the right time." The middle-aged man said evasively.
.
"Brother, you have seen this herb. If you don't go there, how will we know which one it is? Besides, other herb collectors are not as capable as you. Even if it's not the right time, at least we can find its roots and take a look.
Look, let my young master give an explanation." Yan Ruocheng said.
Huang Chenling waved her hand to shut up and said, "Since it's inconvenient for you, we can't force others to do anything. So let's take our leave first."
Just like that, when Yan Ruocheng came out of the hut, she felt a little uncomfortable and followed Huang Chenling. After a few people walked away, she asked: "Why did you let him go like this? He obviously refused on purpose. Maybe
It’s not certain that he has medicinal herbs hidden away.”
"Why are you so difficult for others? He doesn't want to help. It's useless for you to force him." Huang Chenling said.
"Then how will you explain when you go back? Didn't you come out just to find this herb?" Yan Ruozhen asked. She was just worried that their brothers would be blamed by the Holy One.
"They say they can't find it, what can they do?" Huang Chenling said calmly. After a while, he suddenly turned around, turned to Yan Ruocheng, and asked, "Would you like to go to the teahouse to try some pastries first?"
Yan Ruocheng was a little stunned, stunned by his actions, and asked in disbelief: "Second Prince, are you really willing to treat this villain to some cakes?"
Huang Chenling chuckled lightly and said, "I asked you to try the pastries. I didn't say I wanted to treat you to some. Don't think too much."
After hearing this, Yan Ruocheng pursed her lips, and she knew that he would not be such a nice person anymore, and he would draw clear lines in everything.
"The second prince called me, how dare I not go?" She agreed boringly.
He smiled and deliberately quickened his pace, staying a foot away from her.
Yan Ruozhen followed him, and naturally did not speed up. She breathed lightly. The sun shone on them, and their shadows were long. She noticed that Huang Chenling's shadow was not far away from hers, and she slightly
She made a gesture of reaching out, and in the shadow it looked like she was tugging on his sleeve.
She silently thought: "If one day, she can pull Huang Chenling's sleeve like this, will he hold her hand instead? Then she can say sweet words to him coquettishly...
.”
The nympho had not yet finished her reverie, she was looking at the reflection on the ground sideways, not looking in front of her, and bang! She hit a small tree with her head, and a few leaves were knocked off by her.
"Oops! It hurts... why is there a tree in the middle of the road!" She was wearing a mask and it hurt.
Huang Chenling was in front. He turned around and caught a glimpse of her stupid behavior. Occasionally, he felt that she had a cute side and couldn't help but smile.
