Beast King'S Crippled Mate novel Chapter 210

Chapter 210: Chapter 210: The Gray Mammoth Tusk (III)

"Poisoned ginger tea?!"

"Y-yes. Rock said that he smelled something else other than tea leaves and ginger inside the teapot, so he gave me this pendant to make sure I can protect myself while he’s not around," Long Xiurong replied.

’Has he always been that kind?’ Swan pondered. ’Gale told me that most werewolves don’t care about others who are not from their pack. Is Long Xiurong a special case for Rock? Or is he...’

Swan curled her lips as she was also holding back her giggle. She imagined Rock and Long Xiurong together and then found herself getting even more excited. She was very curious but decided to focus on the matter at hand first.

Suppressing her excitement, she responded, "That’s nice of him. Why don’t you demonstrate its ability to detect poison?"

Long Xiurong nodded. She stood up and walked towards the breakfast tray.

Everything still looked the same as the last time she saw them, except that all the food had gone cold.

"I think I should start with the tea. Since I was almost poisoned with ginger tea before," Long Xiurong said as she opened the teapot lid, and dipped the gray mammoth tusk inside. Swan watched as the gray-colored tusk entered the teapot, and when Long Xiurong fished it out, it had changed in color to purple. "Rock told me the tusk will change in color if it gets in contact with any type of poison. All I need to do is to wipe it, and it will return to its natural color. As you can see, Princess, this tea has been poisoned."

Swan was fully focused as she seemed to have a few theories. She pointed at the white rice in a bowl and said, "Try dipping the tusk into that white rice. I want to make sure it’s not just the tusk reacting to water."

Long Xiurong dipped the tusk into the white rice, and just like before, it changed color to purple.

"Princess, the type of poison made to harm me must be one of a kind, because I cannot see or smell any trace of it," Long Xiurong said. "Rock also said the same, and he also told me the only one who can make such unique poison is—"

"Lady Jade," Swan murmured. "She’s a master of herbologist. She’s the only one in this entire kingdom who can create that kind of odorless and colorless poison."

Long Xiurong was relieved that Princess Swan had long suspected Lady Jade, so she didn’t need to waste her time trying to convince her that Lady Jade was an immediate threat that needed to be eliminated as soon as possible.

"I don’t know why Lady Jade wants to kill me, since I don’t think I’ve done anything wrong, nor am I close to His Majesty to receive her wrath. And she’s not working alone, Princess. She has an underling who has been serving me poisonous food and drink for a whole week," Long Xiurong paused for a moment before she dropped another name. "The culprit is my attendant, a bunny maid named Alice."

"A bunny maid?!" Swan was reminded of the bunny maid who attended her during the coldest night. That bunny maid introduced herself as Alice, so couldn’t be mistaken.

Swan nodded, "Nobody has been reported sick for a whole week during the banquet, so the amount of poison that bunny maid carries must be of little amount, maybe around the size of a small bottle." _{fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com}
