Chapter 420

"So what if it is!" Empress Dowager Zhou's cane heavily slammed down as she snapped.

She liked the Spring Jade because of this reason. Every time she couldn't sleep or had a splitting headache, as long as she smelled the fragrance of the Spring Jade, it would be much better.

She never thought that this flower that she treasured would be destroyed by this little girl. How could she not be filled with hatred!

"This minister's concubine has read about this Spring Jade in a book before. The book said that this flower blooms all year round and its fragrance has a refreshing effect, but it can't be smelled for too long, otherwise it will be harmful. If one smells this flower for a long time, they will unknowingly be poisoned. The symptoms of being poisoned is that it will make it hard for people to sleep, making it seem like they are suffering from insomnia. If it isn't detoxified in time, it is possible that ….. will ….." Chen Ning looked up at Empress Dowager Zhou and did not continue.

How could Empress Dowager Zhou not understand her meaning? She coldly said, "Will die, right?"

Chen Ning lowered her head and did not reply, giving her a silent agreement.

"Very good, what you say makes sense. Since you said it was from a book, then the book must have mentioned how to detoxify it, right?" Empress Dowager Zhou revealed an angry smile.

How could one be poisoned from smelling a flower in this world, this was simply ridiculous!

So she did not believe Chen Ning's words at all, not a single word. It was all sophistry!

"If you can't say how to detoxify it, then don't blame this widow for not giving general Chen any face." Empress Dowager Zhou's face sunk as her heart was filled with killing intent.

Chen Ning nodded, "That's right, there is indeed a way to detoxify it. You just need to boil the roots of this flower and the poison will be detoxified."

"It's that simple?"

Not only did Empress Dowager Zhou not believe it, even Su Jin did not believe it.

If Empress Dowager Zhou was really poisoned, why couldn't even the most experienced and most skilled doctor in the yard see through it?

As for the detoxification method Chen Ning spoke of, it was as simple as child's play.

"Empress Dowager, you must have taken a sleeping pill last night, but you must have had nightmares. Although you slept all the way until dawn, you still feel tired and sleepy. I wonder if what this minister's concubine said is true?" Chen Ning calmly said.

Empress Dowager Zhou's heart turned cold. She was silent for a while before slowly saying, "That's right."

Su Jin couldn't help but reveal a shocked expression.

"Empress Dowager, you've been poisoned by a flower, so the medicine you've taken can only cure the symptoms and not the root. If you want to cure it, you can only use this Spring Jade's root to decoct the antidote. Empress Dowager, you might as well try it. If there is no effect after taking it, then this minister's concubine's head is here and the Empress Dowager can cut it off at any time."

Empress Dowager Zhou coldly said, "Who knows if the Spring Jade's roots are poisonous or not. You want to use this method to poison this widow, right?"

Chen Ning nodded, "The Empress Dowager is right, the Spring Jade's roots are very poisonous. If a normal person eats it, their body will twitch and they will die from heart palpitations."

"Dowager!" Su Empress Dowager Su couldn't help calling out.

This Yu what she was that? Wang was that what Dowager Zhou said. Dowager's Jade King Su. But why did she what what is what? Emperor Dowager Long as she directly said this?

Empress Dowager Zhou's face suddenly sunk and she hit the ground with her cane. When she was prepared to speak, she heard Chen Ning say again.
