Chapter 483 Waiting for the Benefit
After so many years, she was already fed up with it.
I originally thought that if I could get what I wanted, then all the humiliation and all the anxiety would be worth it.
Who knows?
This bastard is too conceited and self-confident. He is obviously a worthless person, yet he still wants to be a wise ruler who will be remembered for thousands of years in history. He has been reluctant to take action against the prince, and finally ended up in this situation. Not only did he fall into the abyss, but even he and his mother were implicated by him. She is still keeping him alive just to restrain the new emperor.
Once the new emperor is dead, there is naturally no need for him to live anymore.
This day is coming soon
Yu Xiaofang lived up to his family's profound knowledge. He indeed found the problem with the handkerchief Zhou Hansheng sent him.
"Brother Zhou, the old lady in your house is really capable. This stuff is colorless and odorless. After taking it, you won't die immediately. The effects will take place three days later. By then, the death will be silent and even the cause cannot be found. She is really, really..."
Yu Xiaofang spoke and sighed, shaking his head and admiring the situation. He was truly full of admiration.
Zhou Hansheng's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he was already tearing Old Lady Zhou into pieces in his heart! As expected, he and his parents were too kind and gave them too much face! Some people deserve to be abused, abused to death, otherwise they will never know what it means to be content.
Coveting things that don't belong to them, he tries every possible way to stir up trouble, wishing that their eldest branch of the family would die out. After so many years, it's still like this!
Fortunately, his father was already an adult at that time, otherwise he would definitely not survive in the hands of this old woman.
"What kind of poison is this? What's its name?"
Yu Xiaofang spread his hands. "It doesn't have a name. I only know it's something from overseas. It's informally called Wuxiang Water. Anyway, it's not something you can easily get. The old lady in your house is truly remarkable!"
Yu Xiaofang exclaimed again, "Mrs. Zhou is truly amazing! Her luck is incredible! After all, even he wanted this kind of poison."
Unfortunately, he had no connections, no channels, and not even much money, so he could only watch with envy.
Zhou Hansheng's heart skipped a beat. When had the old woman gotten this thing? It couldn't have been before, right? He was sure that if the old woman had already possessed such a colorless, odorless, and invisible killing weapon, why would she have waited until now? She might have used it again.
After all, when she was not at home before, her parents were not so wary of her. Over the years, she had countless opportunities to take action.
But she didn't move. Was she too kind-hearted to bear it? Zhou Hansheng found that unlikely.
Then, there is only one possibility left, that she should not have had this thing in her hands for long.
So, where does it come from?
Zhou Hansheng felt a little uncomfortable. The old woman didn't seem like someone who could possibly obtain such a rare book. Even if it was just a coincidence, it was unlikely.
This statement is too unreliable.
Although he was puzzled, he couldn't figure it out for the time being, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
Zhou Hansheng looked at Yu Xiaofang and asked, "If someone gets poisoned by this, can you cure it?"
Yu Xiaofang nodded, then shook his head.
Seeing Zhou Hansheng frown slightly, he smiled and said, "I'm not teasing you, Your Highness, nor am I being mysterious. This poison is not difficult to cure, but it takes time. It takes at least seven days to prepare the antidote, but it only takes three days for the child to be poisoned and die. The most troublesome thing is that this thing is colorless and odorless. After being poisoned, the body will not show any abnormalities before the poison takes effect. By the time the poison takes effect, even if there is an antidote, it will be too late to take it. Your Highness, do you understand what I mean?"
Zhou Hansheng nodded.
That being said, it is indeed a troublesome thing.
It is colorless and tasteless, and there is nothing unusual about it. But it is so tricky, isn't it hard to guard against?
He couldn't help but get nervous, even a little suspicious, wondering if his wife would...
Zhou Hansheng was so upset that he couldn't sit still anymore. He told Yu Xiaofang, "Don't worry about whether it works or not. Get the antidote out as soon as possible. It's better to be prepared."
"Okay!" Yu Xiaofang nodded. This was not a problem. He had wanted to give it a try anyway.
Yu Xiaofang asked again, "My Lord, do you have this thing?"
Zhou Hansheng shook his head: "No!"
"Oh, that's such a pity!" Yu Xiaofang sighed and said regretfully, "I still want to see it for myself!"
Zhou Hansheng: “.”
"Well, I'll give it a try. If I find it someday, I'll give it all to you!"
"Hehe, thank you, my Lord!"
"Don't thank me yet, that might not be the case."
Zhou Hansheng couldn't bear it any longer and hurried back home.
Seeing Zhao Liya, Zhou Hansheng nervously held her hand and said, "Madam, do you feel any discomfort? Feel carefully, even the slightest discomfort would count. Hmm? Do you feel any discomfort?"
Zhao Liya: “.”
"What's going on?" Zhao Liya was a little amused and said, "My Lord, please at least let me know what's going on!"
Zhou Hansheng hesitated to speak. He wanted to say something, but was afraid of scaring her.
What if nothing happens but something unexpected happens?
"Yu Xiaofang said there was something on your handkerchief."
Zhao Liya was also surprised after hearing this: "I'm so honored to know that there is such a rare poison in the world!"
"Aya!"
"Don't worry, I'm really fine." Zhao Liya saw the man's expression change and panic, and her heart was warmed and she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Really, my lips just touched the edge of the cup. I promise I didn't get a single drop of water on me."
"real?"
"Really! Since you don't plan to drink it, why bother to touch it? If you touch it a little bit, it will be the same as being infected!" Zhao Liya hurriedly explained.
She's really not that stupid or careless.
Zhou Hansheng nodded: "That's good."
None of the people in the mansion can be underestimated.
Zhou Hansheng thought to himself that he would discuss with his father today and make sure that all of them were monitored and kept a close eye on them.
Zhao Liya chuckled. "According to the old lady's plan, I'm going to be poisoned tomorrow, right? Young Master, do you think I should pretend to be poisoned and make the old lady happy?"
"No," Zhou Hansheng felt suffocated just thinking about that scene. He couldn't pretend. He sneered, "Just let it be as usual. I also want to see what their expressions are like then!"
This poison is useless, you deserve it!
Zhao Liya smiled sweetly: "Oh, okay!"
It was a bit regrettable, but the prince was determined and seemed to be very annoyed to see this, so she just let it go and stopped making trouble.
Zhou Hansheng's expression softened and he hugged her gently: "Be good"
Zhao Liya: "How is she not behaving well?"
Zhao Liya was the same as always. She even went to pay her respects to the old lady last week on the day she was supposed to have "died of poison".
