Chapter 291 Toxin 1
Mai Dongzi listened to Prince Arthur talking about Queen Du calmly and without any extra emotions. It seemed that although he didn't like this woman, he didn't have any resentment.
"She schemed against you like that, don't you hate her?" Mai Dongzi asked curiously.
"I did it when I was young, but not anymore. My father always favored me. Every time I got into trouble, he couldn't punish that woman severely, so he gave me some power. After a few times, that woman was going crazy."
This is really hitting the snake at the root, not killing anyone but punishing him.
Queen Du's schemes were all to help her son ascend to the throne. As a result, every time she took action, Prince Arthur gained more power. Everything she did was to help Prince Arthur gain power.
This would drive anyone crazy, not to mention Empress Du.
Mai Dongzi said that it was impossible for King Gujia to be completely helpless against Queen Du. This method would make her hate and feel pain, but would not cause much harm to the other three children.
After all, Prince Arthur is the first in line to the throne, so it is only natural to hand over some power to him.
Although doing so would inevitably harm the other three children, it was better than ruthlessly suppressing Queen Du.
However, the incident has passed, and the two parties are no longer alive. Mai Dongzi does not want to delve into this matter, because further discussion will involve the privacy of these two people, and she should not discuss it in her capacity.
She then turned the question back to Erica and her father: "Why does Erica want to be associated with the royal family so much? With her status and ability, she will have a bright future."
If it weren't for the fact that Prince Arthur was Li Ruiyou, Mai Dongzi really didn't want to get involved in the royal family's affairs.
"It should be that Zhao Fanni instilled this idea in her since she was a child. In the life before Zhao Fanni was reborn, you and I were a couple. Erica wanted to pry you away, but I punished her severely, making her lose face. Later, she couldn't even marry a son of an aristocratic family. Therefore, when Zhao Fanni was reborn, she tried to harm your parents and swap your identity with Erica." Prince Arthur said.
In the past, because of the awkwardness between their identities, Prince Arthur had never told her about this.
"Beauty is the root of all evil in men." Mai Dongzi couldn't help but say.
"It's really none of my business. It's power that dazzles people." Prince Arthur was helpless.
So because Erica failed in her previous life in seducing her cousin's husband and lost face as a result, Fanny Zhao hated Lucy to her core.
Therefore, after rebirth, he exchanged Lucy and Erica's identities, hoping that Erica could get close to Prince Arthur by pretending to be Atom's daughter and taking advantage of Atom's rescue of Prince Arthur, thus taking away Lucy's chance.
But this plan failed.
Don't talk about the reality, because she traveled through time and space as Prince Arthur and was reborn, Zhao Fanny's plan failed.
In the second week of the novel, Lucy, who did not experience time travel and rebirth, failed to reverse the situation in the survival live broadcast game and wash away her reputation as a fake daughter and good-for-nothing. She was quietly taken away by Atum, whose memory was restored, and she was never recognized by Prince Arthur.
But even so, Fanny Zhao's plan was not realized in the end, because Prince Arthur did not accept Erica at all. Without Lucy's appearance, Prince Arthur had no woman from beginning to end before his death.
In reality, Mai Dongzi was reborn and washed away little Lucy's bad reputation, exposing Zhao Fanny's scheme. Prince Arthur even put Zhao Fanny in prison so that she could no longer make trouble.
As a result, after Erica had no hope of marrying Prince Arthur, she became involved with Prince Arthur's younger brother, Prince Ali, either because she was too deeply influenced by Zhao Fanny or because she wanted to avenge her mother.
But people don't know much about the entanglement and hatred between them, and they just think that Erica and her daughter are eating ugly things.
"There are many people who want to be associated with the royal family." Prince Arthur said implicitly.
Yes, since ancient times, many people have become neither human nor ghost for the sake of power and money. As long as they don't take face seriously, they can do anything.
Because of Mai Dongzi, Nigri and Erica live a very depressed life, so it's not surprising that they want to get rid of this kind of life.
But Mai Dongzi stood so high that they couldn't care less about their face if they wanted to stand up again.
"You have to be careful. I suspect they have some unknown drugs in their hands." Mai Dongzi said.
Prince Arthur looked at Mai Dongzi and waited for her to continue. He knew that Mai Dongzi was not talking nonsense, she must know something to say that.
Mai Dongzi told Prince Arthur about the recent events in the Xi family, and then concluded: "I carefully asked Xiao Guang about his father's condition at the time. With the current level of medical care, it is impossible for ordinary diseases to be cured overnight. Although Xiao Guang said that he did not check for signs of poisoning in the family, I just think he was poisoned."
When Prince Arthur heard her talk about what happened before the Xi family entered the second round of the apocalyptic purge, his expression became solemn. After thinking for a while, he said, "I will be careful, and you should be careful too."
Mai Dongzi is definitely on the list of enemies of Nigri and his daughter.
There have been many cases of people capsizing in the underworld since ancient times. Prince Arthur was not so arrogant and thought he was superior. Negri and his daughter could not calculate him.
If they used poison, Mai Dongzi, who had the wood-type supernatural power at the initial stage of level six, would naturally not be afraid.
But Prince Arthur was different. Mai Dongzi thought about it and still didn't let go: "Let me check it for you."
Prince Arthur had no objection and lay down to let her do what she wanted.
Mai Dongzi used her wood ability to carefully "check" his meridians all over his body. Because she always felt something was wrong, she repeatedly "wandered" around his body. After checking for the third time, she finally found something a little different.
In a "small corner" of Prince Arthur's field, there was actually a slight poison.
Mai Dongzi doesn't know much about poison. Although she is also a wood-type mutant, she doesn't have time to learn pharmacology and toxicology.
She did not dissolve the toxin. Instead, the little girl slowly forced the toxin out and collected it in a capillary tube, preparing to give it to her mother to test what the toxin was.
Prince Arthur thought he had done a good job in security, but he didn't expect that he would still be tricked.
If it wasn't for Mai Dongzi, he would never have been so defenseless to let others check his body like this, especially since Tian Chu would never let others use supernatural powers to repeatedly "check" him like this.
"This amount of toxin is not enough to harm you. I suspect they poisoned you by increasing the toxin little by little, so that you and the people around you would not be aware of it." Mai Dongzi speculated.
Prince Arthur thought so too.
