"My lord, what you're saying is terrifying; in the palace, poison couldn't possibly be so readily available." Security is tight, even a single pill in the palace has to be registered.
"Then where did this pollen come from? I'm not allergic," Ye Zao asked again.
"The Imperial Physician said this is Granny Flower pollen, commonly found in the mountains and fields, but not in large quantities. Occasionally, if someone comes into contact with it, it's not a big deal; just wash it off, and it's fine. However, if it isn't washed off and a significant amount is contacted, it can damage the skin. Especially if the pollen is boiled in alcohol, it turns into poison. It won't kill a person, but it will cause the skin to fester. My lord, it seems that your face has come into contact with Granny Flower pollen that's been boiled in alcohol." When Ah Yuan spoke these words, her eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Which vile person could be so cruel!
