Chapter 148: Poisonous Flowers and Dancing Snakes

Doctor Zhou looked at the flowerpot for a while, then suddenly took a few steps back. The movement startled everyone around him.

"This should be a poppy, a peony. I've seen it in a book before, but this is the first time I've seen it."

The emperor frowned and asked, "Is this flower poisonous?"

Doctor Zhou nodded and said, "The husk of this flower can strengthen the spleen and appetite, clear away heat and promote urination, relieve pain and cough, and stop diarrhea and astringe the intestines."

"Poisonous plants and flowers are common, so why is this so strange?"

The emperor looked at Su Yujiao in confusion. Doctor Zhou also looked at her. Although he had a rough guess in his mind, it was his first time seeing her and he was not very sure.

Su Yujiao looked at Doctor Zhou and asked, "The book only describes the medicinal value of this flower, but nothing else?"

Doctor Zhou said, "Yes, but this is my first time seeing this, so I don't know if it's true or not."

"The book says this flower can cause hallucinations, paralyze the mind, and eventually turn people into walking corpses who don't recognize their relatives."

Everyone gasped in shock after hearing this. Su Yujiao almost laughed out loud. Whoever wrote this book did so well in describing it.

The paralysis of the mind is real, and the lack of recognition of relatives is also real, but "The Walking Dead" only describes the state of drug addicts, not real turning into zombies.

However, these words coming from Doctor Zhou had a terrifying effect, so she naturally wouldn't explain too much.

"That's not its strength. Its strength lies in its ability to turn people into puppets."

Su Yujiao reminded: "Doctor Zhou, you only need to tell the emperor."

Doctor Zhou immediately understood that the fact that the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom dared to bring this flower in openly meant that they were also unaware of the power of this flower.

Doctor Zhou came closer and whispered the contents of the book into the emperor's ear.

"The book says that the first person who discovered this flower used the husk to make a white powder that could be smoked."

"At first, users just feel refreshed and inexplicably excited, and their whole body feels comfortable and dreamlike."

"Over time, you become addicted. When the craving strikes, the pain is unbearable, your whole body twitches, and you go crazy. Almost no one can get through it with willpower alone."

"For those who are addicted, whoever gives them a puff of tobacco controls their lives."

"They are willing to make him commit murder and arson, commit crimes, kneel down and howl like a dog, and even kill his own children."

"The man then used this flower to control the entire village, even enslaving the once high-ranking clan leader."

After hearing this, the emperor immediately thought that if this flower spread throughout Daming Kingdom, everyone became addicted, and even infiltrated the army, then the entire Daming Kingdom would become a puppet of Nanjiang Kingdom.

If he becomes addicted to smoking in the future, will he become a dog under Nan Sheng's feet like the patriarch?

What a vicious conspiracy!

Thinking of this, the emperor's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

The emperor said calmly: "Put this flower aside and continue the investigation."

Some things should not be said in front of the people, as they are easily instigated and will settle the score with Nan Sheng in private later.

"Your Majesty, a poisonous snake was found in one of the boxes."

Nan Sheng explained that this poisonous snake was trained to be a pet for the saint.

The fangs have been pulled out and will not hurt anyone.

It is well known that the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom likes to associate with poisonous insects, snakes and ants. Everyone can understand Nan Sheng's explanation.

Su Yujiao was puzzled. Could it be that the dragon robe had been moved away by the third prince?

How did she transfer in public?

Su Yujiao watched Chen Yunniang's reaction and saw that she was staring at the box containing the snake with some nervousness.

Is it...

Just as the guards were about to carry the box containing the snake into the Lu family's house, Su Yujiao stopped them and called out, "Wait."

"Open the box."

"There's only one snake in this box, but its fangs have been removed, so it won't hurt anyone."

Su Yujiao said forcefully: "Open it!"

"Let me check again."

The guard opened the box, and Su Yujiao looked at the snake that looked like a child's arm, lazily coiling in the box.

She looked carefully and found that there was only a snake in the box, and it didn't seem to be anything special.

Chen Yunniang stepped forward and said, "Su Yujiao, don't try to pick a fight. The imperial physician has already examined this snake. What else do you want to do?"

"Is there something wrong with this snake?"

Su Yujiao couldn't stand her arrogance and said, "Of course there's something wrong with this snake."

"This snake can be domesticated."

"Nonsense, if you don't domesticate it, how dare I keep it as a pet?"

Su Yujiao snorted coldly: "Who knows what your purpose is in taming this snake?"

"What could be your purpose? Don't look for trouble."

"I'll let you see now if I'm looking for trouble."

"Someone, go find a flute."

Soon someone handed her a flute. Su Yujiao blew the flute at the box, shaking the box while blowing.

Suddenly, the snake stretched out its neck and poked its head out of the box, spitting out its scarlet core and dancing to the sound of the flute.

This amazing scene is so bizarre that this snake is actually psychic and can even dance?

Is this too amazing?

After Su Yujiao stopped playing the flute, she did not come over immediately. The snake attacked suddenly. Lu Ziqian was quick-witted and pulled out the guard's sword to cut the snake in half.

Su Yujiao curled her lips: "Its fangs have been pulled out, and it won't kill you even if it bites you. Why are you so nervous?"

Lu Ziqian gave her a cold look.

Su Yujiao said, "Your Majesty, you have also seen that this kind of snake can be tamed and is very aggressive."

"The snake's fangs were pulled out. If they hadn't been, wouldn't it have attacked whoever she wanted it to?"

Chen Yunniang was practically furious: "If you want to accuse someone, you'll always find a pretext."

"You're clearly looking for trouble!"

"Even if I could control it, it's not poisonous."

"This one alone has been chopped to death."

Su Yujiao snorted coldly: "Don't you know that snakes can reproduce asexually?"

"The baby snakes this snake will give birth to will have poisonous fangs."

"If you tame the little snake, won't you be able to return it to anyone you want to harm?"

"you……"

"Besides, this box is so big, who knows if there are any secret compartments, or if there are any poisonous snakes hidden there?"

"In my opinion, if the Saint wants to prove her innocence, she should split the box in half and let everyone see if there is any hidden secret."

"This box is worthless. If you break it, I'll compensate you with ten pieces."

This time, the emperor's face turned pale. Without waiting for Chen Yunniang to speak, he directly ordered the guards to chop up the box.

However, at this moment, a flaming arrow flew over, and Lu Ziqian subconsciously picked up Su Yujiao by the waist.

It seemed as if kerosene had been poured into the box in advance. The moment it came into contact with the open flame, a raging fire broke out with a bang.

Su Yujiao shuddered, pointed at the burning box, and shouted, "It's this box, there's definitely something wrong with it!"

"Someone, put out the fire!"

Several guards worked together to put out the fire on the box, but they did not dare to act rashly!
