Chapter 44 Poisoning
When Qiao Susu came in, Lan Ze had just finished training under the guidance of the royal nurse and was being helped into a wheelchair.

His spiritual power automatically sensed Qiao Suisui, and he turned around and saw her standing by the door. Lan Ze's spiritual thread quickly wrapped around her silently, and when he noticed that she was in a very low mood, he paused unconsciously.

Qiao Susu was filled with guilt. She stood there with her head down, feeling uneasy. She wanted to say hello to him, but didn't know what to say first. When she looked up, she saw Lan Ze waving at her with a gentle smile.

"You came just in time. Gamma has developed a new nutritional supplement with various flavors. I can't taste it, and I don't want to waste his kindness. Sui Sui, can you help me taste it?"

"certainly."

She took small steps forward and saw the nurse named Gamma smile at her politely, then brought an exquisite tray with colorful nutritional supplements.

Qiao Susu first took out a colorless cigarette, took a sip, and the refreshing minty feeling spread in her mouth, followed by a slight sweet aftertaste.

"How about it?"

"It's sweet and delicious."

“What does sweetness feel like?”

Qiao Suisui was startled, and she couldn't help but feel mixed emotions when she heard him ask this. She tilted her head and thought for a while, then squatted beside Lan Ze's wheelchair and said, "Sweetness is when you have something you really want, and then you get it, and you can't help but smile."

Lan Ze listened to her soft and gentle voice, and looked at her with unfocused eyes. He didn't know what he was thinking of, and the corners of his mouth could not help but rise.

Qiao Susu took another sip of the ice blue one, and her eyes narrowed reflexively because of the sourness.

"This is very sour. Sour is when you see someone else has the thing you like first."

Next, she drank the yellow, pink, and purple ones, and then told Lan Ze in detail the taste of each one and her own understanding of it.

The young man in the wheelchair listened quietly with a very focused look and a smile on his face.

".Lan Ze, I'm sorry."

He was stunned and wanted to reach out and hold her wrist, but his fingers moved slightly and he ended up doing nothing.

"Sui Sui, this isn't your fault. Don't feel guilty because I got hurt. It's actually my fault that I was useless and couldn't protect you."

"No. I knew that Munakata would not give up, but I still went out alone with you. It was because I did not think of this in advance that you had to endure this experience."

She gently stroked his knee and murmured, "It must be painful, right?" Then she thought of Lan Ze's lack of pain, and realized that she had said something wrong. She bit her lip and frowned to explain, "I'm sorry, that's not what I meant. I meant..."

"Sui Sui."

Lan Ze gently interrupted her, "Your guilt makes me feel even worse. I was the one who took you out, but failed to bring you back. I didn't do my job well. I got hurt because I'm not as strong as him. There's nothing to say. I admit it. But if this matter becomes a knot in your heart, I might as well die here..."

Her slender fingers covered his mouth, and his lips touched her fingertips. The warm fingertips were no warmer than his burning heart. Lan Ze seemed to hear the sound of his own heart beating wildly.

"Don't say that." Qiao Suisui cheered up and said, "I will definitely find a way to cure your leg."

Lan Ze did not refute her this time, but just smiled gently.

He had actually used his foresight that day to see that he would have this disaster, but the image was just a flash, and he only saw that he would sit in a wheelchair, without any cause or consequence, so he could not do anything to prevent or intervene.

But he didn't expect this day to come so soon.

Qiao Suisui chatted with him for a while, and then watched Gama push him back to the room to rest. After leaving, she wanted the system to transfer her self-healing talent to Lan Ze, but was denied.

[The deprived talent can only be used by the host itself and cannot be transferred. If you have other talents that you prefer, you can replace them at any time. ]

[If I can't have both at the same time, wouldn't the talent that was taken away be wasted? ]

[If a new talent replaces an old talent, then the old talent will automatically return to its original owner.] In other words, if she deprives a new talent, then the self-healing talent will automatically return to Munakata.

Qiao Suisui slowly stopped walking, thinking of Zong Fang who was seriously injured and didn't know if he had survived. Then she shook her head, shaking off her soft-heartedness.

He is a poisonous snake who imprisons himself and hurts others wantonly.

She cannot be soft-hearted.

Having suggested this to herself, she wanted to go back to her own bedroom, but bumped into Isabel who appeared out of nowhere.

"Qiao Sui Sui, you are still hanging around here! It's all because of you that my father was poisoned by that ungrateful bastard Ash!"

She steadied herself, frowned, and grabbed Isabel's forearm.

"What did you say? This has something to do with Ash?"

A few days ago.

Imperial Court.

"I didn't call you here for anything else. We are all family, so I'll be frank." Gorba III cast his sharp eyes across at Liberi. The two men were having a meal across a long table.

"I heard you've been making quite a fuss lately. What? Do you want real power?"

Leiberi wiped his mouth slowly with a napkin and said with a smile, "What are you talking about, uncle? I never like to meddle in other people's business."

"Stop pretending." Gorba III placed the knife on the white porcelain plate with a sharp clash. "Ash, whether you admit it or not, I will only say this once today. Being a member of the Oslan royal family is the highest honor in your life, but other than that, it's not yours, so don't even think about it."

Libery gave a sarcastic smile and raised an eyebrow, "What's mine?"

He stared at the man opposite him who was still in great vigor. He twisted the dinner knife in his hand, and the next second, it was nailed heavily to the long table with a "snap".

"Sui Sui is originally mine, why did you let Lan Ze be her spouse?"

Gorba III understood, but his expression did not change.

"There's really nothing to discuss about this matter. I know you're unhappy. How about this? You go pick one of the females kept by the royal family, and I'll make the decision."

"Ah."

Libery sneered at first, then laughed. He stood up suddenly, put his hands on both sides of the long table, and leaned over to stare at the man opposite him.

"Uncle, do you know what I hate most about you? It's that face of yours that says you control everything and everyone. Let's not talk about whether I am willing to become a mate with those females. Have you ever asked those females about their wishes? Even Isabel is a pawn in your hands. Have you ever asked her whether she wants so many mates? Why do you think that everyone has to be at your mercy?"

Gorba III was furious. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a 'bang' from under the table and the whole long table shook for a moment.

The royal guards immediately stepped forward and lifted the tablecloth, only to see a petite body curled up under the table. It was Isabel.

After listening to Isabel's description, Qiao Suisui couldn't help but frown. "So you don't have direct evidence that Ash poisoned you."

"What evidence do you need? This is so obvious. That guy attacked my father because he was angry that he let you and Lan Ze get together. The doctor said that this poison is colorless and odorless, and it is impossible to detect it in time. It can only be obtained on the next planet, and that place is exactly the territory that Ash was granted."

Qiao Susu had a hunch that something was wrong. Even if Libery was dissatisfied with the emperor, he would not use such an obvious method. It was so obvious that even Isabel knew that the poison could only be produced in his territory.

Isabel ignored her contemplation and pulled her away.

"Come with me to find that guy and ask for the antidote to save father!"
