Shocking Venomous Consort: Frivolous Miss

Only then did Ling Chuxi realize a problem. She had only been talking about helping Fu Chengyu to resolve his poison all this while, yet she had never asked him where his frost poison actually came from. And it seemed like Fu Chengyu himself had not brought this up clearly to Ling Chuxi as well.

With Fu Chengyu’s status as the Ninth Prince, who would want to poison him? And what benefits could be gained from it?

Ling Chuxi had thought of the First Prince at first. It could only be him that would get the greatest benefit from this matter. And he already bore grudges in his heart toward Fu Chengyu for so many years. It was not strange for him to do something like this. But the First Prince was already dead and there was also no proof in this matter after his death.

“Miss Ling, I know who you are guessing. But I have heard about those people as well. Their identity is mysterious and they have enormous financial resources and it is unlikely that that person can order them around. If this friend of yours is not very important, it will be best if you don’t look for this medicinal herb anymore.” Gao Wentian could see through what Ling Chuxi was thinking about. One’s brain just needed to be turned slightly, and one could connect this matter with the First Prince. But he still reminded her.

Ling Chuxi could not help but take an extra look at Gao Wentian. Her impression toward him was neither good nor bad. He was a wise man overall, and he had very great insight and had courage too. Ling Chuxi trusted his judgment, it was unlikely that the First Prince was the poisoner. Then who could it be? The Deity Temple? It was not completely impossible as she thought about the wild ambition of the Deity Temple toward each country in the mainland. Once someone like Fu Chengyu becomes the emperor, it would absolutely not be easy for the Deity Temple to have control over him. Then the best option would be to strike first to gain advantage and get rid of this person quickly. Although Fu Chengyu had always paid no attention to worldly affairs, those in power would always have the mindset that they would rather kill a thousand by mistake than letting one slip off. It was also not odd that they would do something like this. But was this really done by the Deity Temple?

“He is my friend.” Ling Chuxi said solemnly as she threw out all the guesses from her mind temporarily. No matter who the poisoner was, as long as Fu Chengyu was her friend, she would think of a way to save him.

“Alright then. I will think of a way to help you find the Snow Butterfly Grass. But the chances are not too great.” Gao Wentian saw the determination in her eyes and said.

“Many thanks then.” Ling Chuxi thanked him and left the Gao Clan Chamber of Commerce.

‘He is my friend.’ Gao Wentian had a sudden envy toward that friend of hers as he looked at Ling Chuxi’s back that was leaving and remembered the expression in her eyes as she said these words.

‘I do not know if I can be considered a friend in her eyes?’ Gao Wentian could not help thinking about this and his expression was somewhat dejected. Those who could be Ling Chuxi’s friends were so lucky. She would go all out and not hesitate to offend powerful forces just to protect her own friends.

Not long after Ling Chuxi returned to her residence, Ling Yichen and Baili Han and the rest came back as well. But everyone looked disappointed and solemn. Ling Chuxi did not feel that it was odd as she already knew that this would be the result.

“We have searched all the medical halls and chambers of commerce and all of them do not have the Snow Butterfly Grass. Some practically had not even heard of it before. Some were already purchased few years ago. And it was said that as long as the Snow Butterfly Grass has appeared these few years, it would immediately be snatched up by mysterious people. And, don’t even think of finding a shrub of the Snow Butterfly Grass in the neighboring countries.” Ling Yichen pondered and said.

“I know this too.” Ling Chuxi nodded. The few of them looked at Fu Chengyu. They were aware of the complication within this poison in Fu Chengyu and wished to get the answer from his body.

“Forget it. Life and death are fated and riches and honor come from the heavens. If not for meeting Ling Chuxi, I practically had no hope to live much longer. If we can find then we’ll find it. If we can’t find it, then just forget it.” Fu Chengyu said indifferently.

“No. If we can’t purchase it, then we will go on a journey ourselves to the ice cold polar regions to look for it!” Ling Chuxi said decisively. No matter how dangerous, they still had to go!
