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 meat 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 something moving, like a person breathing. He was curious and went over to take a look.

He fell ill when he returned home and died three days later. The old people said that it was because he had caused trouble.

The Grand Duke blamed him for his life.

That piece of rotten meat that could move was Tai Sui, which was also known as the meat ganoderma in Chinese medicine.

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 medicinal 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 seemed 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 meat lingzhi was very clean. It was white and fat as it spread out in the water. The water was also unusually clear.

“This meat 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 meat to eat could bring the dead back to life, so he ordered someone to cut off a piece for the princess to stew. Who knew that the next day, the meat lingzhi would grow back? It was very magical.

However, the princess did not wake up after eating the meat, 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 smell. She asked the system to scan it to see if it was a meat ganoderma.

The system wasn’t as willing to work for Su Qing as Xiao Qi was. It dawdled for a long time before replying,

“It’s a meat lingzhi mushroom. It’s of the highest grade.”

With the system’s confirmation, Su Qing was relieved. She looked at Prince.

Su Qing was not sure that the same poison poisoned Wangfei and Li’er. It would be easier to say only after a definite diagnosis.

Her current medical 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 same 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 commendable, 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 someone 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 come 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 mention 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 time, everyone was in danger.

Some 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 me to bring Xuelian back to make the antidote for the princess consort. If the immortal wants to see him, I will immediately send someone to invite him.”

Tamu hurriedly nodded and immediately ordered someone to fetch the divine doctor. However, the person he sent brought back bad news..
