Cancer is an incurable disease, and even with modern advanced medicine, it cannot be completely cured. In ancient times, when medical care was backward, there was only the option of waiting to die.

Of course, she wasn't afraid; she had more than one kind of pill in her storage ring that could counteract it.

"Master, this is not fluorite. The bead detected that its composition is complex, and right now it's still emitting ay rays, which is definitely carcinogenic."

To put it bluntly, anyone who stays close to it for an extended period of time will die.

Xie Zhiyan's body stiffened, and his face paled for a moment. He said in a slightly dry voice, "This is a birthday gift sent by Bei Li for the Longevity Festival."

There are three in total. One is in the storeroom, one is in my grandmother's bedroom, and one... is in my father's bedroom.

His hands trembled slightly. "Father Emperor likes it very much and often takes it out to play with."

He seemed to have found the reason why his father, who was still in good health at the time, would fall seriously ill a few years later!

"Master, if the emperor continues to play with this thing frequently in the coming years, it is understandable that he will not live past fifty."

Even if they aren't poisoned in the end, they will die from the luminous pearl.

"Little Bead, the important question is, does Bei Li know this thing is poisonous?"

Yes, Xie Zhiyan couldn't help but wonder, did Bei Li know that this thing was poisonous?

Did the royal family of Northern Li use this item themselves?

Xie Zhiyan's eyes flickered; it was time for the spies in the Northern Li Imperial Palace to make their move!

[If the master wants to know, he can order someone to investigate the symptoms of the Northern Li royal family members before their deaths; perhaps that will reveal something.]

"Forget it, I'm not that curious!"

The emperor and the crown prince will investigate; she just needs to wait for the results of their labor.

Thinking this to himself, he said aloud, "Your Highness may mention this to His Majesty. I have only heard about these things, and whether His Majesty believes them or not is up to His Majesty to decide."

"If you don't believe me, then you're doomed, Master. If the Emperor doesn't listen to advice and falls ill as a result, you can't use elixirs to save him!"

Emperor Mingxi, who was eavesdropping in the next duty room, gritted his teeth inwardly upon hearing this. What do you mean by "not listening to advice"? You should have given him some advice before saying this!

Let the Crown Prince mention this to me: if it weren't for the fact that our two ancestors had the blessing of the gods, there would be no mistake. Who would have thought that such a beautiful bead was poisonous!

"Zhiyan will definitely persuade Father Emperor to destroy this harmful poisonous pearl!"

Xie Zhiyan avoided the shelf where the beads were placed as if it were a plague, and together with Yue Fuguang, they moved far away from it and walked towards a row of low shelves inside.

The shelf was covered with velvet, and several ivory carvings were displayed on it.

There are paintings of immortals carved from whole pieces of ivory, as well as seals carved from small pieces of ivory.

Several rhinoceros horn cups of varying shades were placed nearby.

There are also exquisite ornaments made of giant clam shells, each one is very beautiful.

Moonlight: The things on these shelves are all very beautiful and 'torture'!

She picked out two of each item, taking advantage of the fact that things weren't "criminal" here to stock up on some goods.

On the bottom shelf were several brocade boxes. She opened them one by one, and Yue Fuguang was almost dazzled by what was inside.

Various beautiful gems and pearls were packed together in boxes, and Moonlight brought over a medium-sized rosewood box from next door.

Pink, sea blue, lake blue, yellow, red... Yue Fuguang grabbed a handful of each kind. She looked at her chubby little hands and saw that she had already grabbed several tiny gems the size of her fingernails. She couldn't help but grab a couple more handfuls.

And pearls, in all colors and sizes, I'll get some of them all.

Looking at the box full of treasure, I felt instantly satisfied.

Yue Fuguang suddenly realized that she hadn't thought about her unspent fifty million for a long time.

On the wooden shelf against the wall was a row of boxes. Opening the boxes revealed that they contained complete sets of exquisite tea utensils.

Some are made of purple clay, with smooth bodies, while others are made of white porcelain, with extremely thin walls.

Yue Fuguang doesn't use teaware that others have used, but that doesn't stop her from collecting them.

Next to the tea set was a complete set of the Four Treasures of the Study, and the most attractive items were various inkstones. She picked out a few of the best ones without hesitation.

Especially the ink blocks that exude a faint fragrance and are engraved with gold characters; each module is exquisitely crafted and resembles a work of art.

Moonlight noticed that there were several wooden boxes on the shelf.

Upon opening it, I found a complete set of ancient books, the pages yellowed, but the ink still clear.

Several scrolls of maps were piled up next to the book box, tied with silk rope.

When it comes to maps, the clearer and more effective ones are those that are transmitted in real time by the system, as long as they are not treasure maps.

She had absolutely no interest in it.

The innermost room was cooler, and various medicinal herbs were displayed on the shelves. There were lingzhi mushrooms in jars, ginseng in brocade boxes, and deer antlers wrapped in oil paper.

Several animal skeletons, including tiger bones, were soaking in a wooden bucket in the corner.

Moonlight nodded, "Very good, very good!"

Xie Zhiyan stopped in front of an iron box.

The box contained neatly stacked weapon manuals and blueprints for various implements, with drawings of the Dayan bow and crossbow structure on the paper.

The wooden shelves next to it displayed corresponding models, including a foldable ladder and various machines. The workmanship was exquisite, but the items were outdated.

Yue Fuguang observed that Dayan's crossbows were still single-shot, and their range was probably not very far.

"Little Bead, it seems that Dayan doesn't have repeating crossbows. I could make an extra one and give it to the Crown Prince as part of his wedding gift."

Xie Zhiyan was incredibly excited when he heard that Yue Fuguang would give him a repeating crossbow as a wedding gift.

He smiled and walked to a shelf, opened a huge box containing various leathers.

He picked up the pure white, fiery red, and purple fox furs and said, "Young Master, these furs have no other colors, so they'll look better as winter clothes. Do you like them?"

He then opened another box, inside which were several fur coats.
