Beast King'S Crippled Mate novel Chapter 171

Chapter 171: Chapter 171: Successful Rut Festival (II)

"On this warm winter day, we gather to celebrate His Majesty’s success in overcoming his rut. There is no death this year, so I want all of you to have a joyful winter until next year. You may eat as much as you want at the banquet for the next five days, and lastly... I want you to cheer for our King! Long live the Beast King!"

"Long live the Beast King!"

"Long live the Beast King!"

"Long live the Beast King!"

All the soldiers followed the cheers as they were once again drowned in euphoria. Gale didn’t expect his beloved to suddenly start cheering his name, so he asked, "I asked you to open the celebration because I want you to be cheered by everyone."

"But you said that you and I are the same. That means, when they cheer for you, they also cheer for me," Swan giggled.

"Well, yes, but..." Gale felt helpless, but he couldn’t help but lightly pinch her now-chubbier cheek before chuckling, "You really know how to surprise me, wife."

"Of course, that’s why I’m your wife."

Everyone on the castle grounds was busy celebrating by either drinking, eating, or just talking with each other. However, there were two people who secretly wished this was just another mourning day, just like last year.

Lady Jade crossed her arms and glanced at Alice, the bunny maid who stood behind Long Xiurong as her attendant. They exchanged glances and had a tacit understanding of what to do next.

Jade had spent her week perfecting the odorless and tasteless poison that would slowly kill someone if it had been digested for at least a whole week.

The victim would start feeling weak all over, followed by constant nausea and diarrhea, then the victim wouldn’t be able to get up from the bed and would keep vomiting and defecating on the bed until she died of unknown cause.

Jade made sure that the poison would be undetectable, that even Matoa, the miracle doctor who helped Gale, wouldn’t be able to detect this poison, because Jade was the one who created it.

’I spent days and nights perfecting this poison, but I don’t want to risk failing this one mission. It would get significantly harder to kill Swan if she could somehow detect the poison with her magic,’ Jade thought. She nodded at Alice, silently telling her to proceed with their initial plan.

Jade secretly handed Alice a small bottle of the poison last night, and she instructed her to feed Long Xiurong a drop of the poison on her drink every day to see the effect.

Alice nodded, as she had prepared the poison vial in her pocket. She just needed the right time to put it in Long Xiurong’s drink without making it too obvious.
