Chapter 1913: Chapter 1913: The Pharmacist Who Can Use Poison!

When only Lin Caisang and the wife of the ruler were left in the cave, Lin Caisang’s gaze suddenly turned cold as she looked at her intently.

"Lady... lady pharmacist, why are you looking at me like this...?"

The wife of the ruler, lying in bed, was somewhat cowed by her stare and couldn’t help but ask.

"Madam, you just saw it yourself; the way your husband treats you, anyone can tell his true feelings. Do you still intend to keep this from him and give birth to the child in your belly, hmm?"

Lin Caisang asked her in a calm voice.

"You—"

Hearing her words, the ruler’s wife instinctively stretched out her hand to cover her stomach.

"What... what do you know?"

"The ruler’s wife’s father is a Blaze Lion, and her mother is from the Water Clan, therefore, your constitution is quite unique, and moreover, you have a cousin from the Water Clan..."

Lin Caisang looked at her and spoke deliberately.

"Shut up, just shut up!"

The ruler’s wife seemed to have a sore spot poked by Lin Caisang and roared at her.

Outside the cave, the ruler, who had just left, heard his wife’s voice. He was shocked and immediately turned to return, but was stopped by Sui Zimo.

"Ruler."

"Young Master, I won’t go in, I’ll just stand guard outside, that should be alright." The ruler looked at Sui Zimo and said.

Sui Zimo didn’t speak, nor did he stop him any further.

He did not concern himself with their affairs; naturally, it was for the ruler to decide how to handle it.

Sang’er had only asked them to leave, not to go so far away they couldn’t hear anything.

So be it, let him listen; it might wake the ruler up, make him realize what kind of person his wife really is.

Inside the cave, Lin Caisang’s tranquil gaze remained on the ruler’s wife.

"Madam, I can keep silent if you wish me to, but what about after the child is born? The ruler is from Haibo Kingdom, but the child in your womb is not—do you think you can keep this from your husband?"

"I..."

The ruler’s wife opened her mouth, her hands at her sides gripping the blanket tightly.

"What can I do? What else can I do? Do you think I want to give birth to this child? To them, this child is a disgrace, a disgrace! But what does that matter?

That man, he’s a devil; if I don’t comply with him, he will kill everyone here!

He is also a pharmacist, skilled in poisons!

If you were me, what would you do, just watch him poison so many people?"

"You could tell the ruler about this matter, and he would handle it," Lin Caisang said dispassionately.

As the ruler of Haibo Kingdom, he surely can’t be incapable of dealing with someone from the Water Clan, can he? If he can’t even manage such a thing, how can he remain a ruler?

"No, I can’t tell him!"

Hearing Lin Caisang’s words, the ruler’s wife suddenly became nervous.

"Are you afraid the ruler will find out you betrayed him?" Lin Caisang asked her.

"I’m already a traitor to him, there’s nothing to fear, but..."

The ruler’s wife bit her lip, having had little hope for herself for some time; what more was there to fear?

Yet, she couldn’t let her own actions harm the ruler. He was innocent; her actions as a woman shouldn’t ruin his life, should they?

She clenched her teeth and looked at Lin Caisang.

"Miss, you are a pharmacist, and you could discern the root cause of my illness; you must be quite skilled, right?"
