Chapter 1935: Chapter 152: Century Devour
“Jiuli, what do you mean by that?” Feng Xiaoyao asked in shock upon hearing this.
“To be precise, the chronic poison your father is afflicted with requires constant contact between the poisoner and your father. Even if they don’t meet every day, they must see each other at least three times a month, and each meeting should last more than six hours! I’ve mentioned that your father is afflicted with a chronic poison, known as ‘Baijian Shi’. Once successfully refined, this poison takes the shape of a jade pendant worn by the poisoner. Although Baijian Shi is poisonous, because it’s a chronic severe poison, it takes at least three hundred years to poison someone to death. In those three years, the poisoner needs to meet the poisoned person three times each month for over six hours each time. Besides, the activation of Baijian Shi requires a catalyst, which is precisely that pot of green plants on your father’s windowsill—known as ‘Thousand Day Chrysanthemums’. Once a person has been afflicted with Baijian Shi for over three hundred years, placing a pot of Thousand Day Chrysanthemums in their room for more than half a year can make the victim fall into a coma, eventually leading to soul dispersal in their sleep, leaving only a corpse behind…” Mo Jiuli explained to Feng Xiaoyao and the others.
“Xiaoyao, do you remember when that pot of Thousand Day Chrysanthemums appeared?” Fang Shile asked in shock, looking at Feng Xiaoyao.
“I left a year ago, and when I left, there wasn’t such a thing in Dad’s room. Uncle might not remember, but my mother was different from other women. She loved training beasts and cultivation the most, and she disliked flowers because she was allergic to many of them. So you would have noticed that the only things in my father’s courtyard are vines along the edges, with no other flowers or plants. Even after my mother’s disappearance, my father didn’t change his habits and didn’t keep any flowers or plants in the courtyard!” Feng Xiaoyao said, looking at Fang Shile and Mo Jiuli.
“Jiuli, what should I do now?” Feng Xiaoyao asked Mo Jiuli, inexplicably feeling trust in Mo Jiuli without understanding why.
Seeing the trust in Feng Xiaoyao’s eyes, Mo Jiuli had no choice but to continue, “My suggestion is to find the poisoner as soon as possible, and then I’ll detoxify your father. Detoxifying your father is easy, but if you don’t find the poisoner, I’m afraid that even if I save your father this time, the poisoner will strike again! Someone who can meticulously plan to poison your father over a span of three hundred years is already very close to your father. If we don’t thoroughly uncover them, there’s no way to prevent them from making another move!”
“That’s right, I agree with Jiuli!” Fang Shile also said.
“Then I’ll go remove the Thousand Day Chrysanthemums from Dad’s room now!” Feng Xiaoyao nodded upon hearing this.
“Hmm, it’s best if you…” Mo Jiuli whispered to the two of them.
“Okay, we know. My uncle and I will handle it, you just rest here!” Feng Xiaoyao responded upon hearing this.
“Alright, you can come to me anytime if something comes up,” Mo Jiuli said calmly.
Then, Fang Shile removed the barrier, and Mo Jiuli returned to the West Wing to rest. Meanwhile, Feng Xiaoyao and Fang Shile went to Lord Feng’s courtyard. After entering the room, Feng Xiaoyao sat by the bedside, looking at his father with a face full of worry and guilt…
Fang Shile stood to the side, then glanced around, finally settling his gaze on the Thousand Day Chrysanthemums on the windowsill. With a displeased frown, he said, “Xiaoyao, what is this thing? Why is it in the room?”
