74 The Kings sudden death (1/2)
”How... How is that possible Master? You once told me that pouring ten drops would make him fall in an endless coma, and to kill him I'd need to pour eleven drops.”
Nodding his head, Bai Long didn't refute Cao Ning.
”You're correct. I did say those words. But did you ever consider why I asked you to make sure that he consumes at least nine drops every day?”
”Because that would make sure he stays bedridden and the poison doesn't leave his body?”
”You're only part right, Ning'er. Those nine drops are not just to maintain the same state of poison and illness, but to even make sure his body doesn't die.”
With her eyes turning wide in surprise and confusion, Cao Ning hastily asked, ”How is that possible?”
Smiling in return, Bai Long said, ”The Drops of Hell is a special kind of poison that was made to keep the victim in a state of helplessness until the one who used it was ready to kill the victim.”
”In fact, the state of helplessness depends on the number of drops the victim has been made to consume.”
”Due to this, if the same or higher number of drops aren't consumed by the victim once every twenty-four hours, their body will slowly start failing from the inside.”
”And by the time it has been forty-eight hours, not even a God will be able to save them.”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
”I see. Then that means... ”
With the realization of the situation striking her, Cao Ning hastily looked out to see that it had been quite a time since the sun had come up.
”Yes. He is probably dead already.”
...
Just like Bai Long estimated, the King had already died. And that too in a very gruesome way.
Even though the doctors couldn't say for sure about what happened, based on the rotting smell and fumes leaking out of the King's body, they guessed that his body had been rotten from the inside out.
While the general public didn't know about how the king died, many were starting to think that it was Bai Zhen who killed the king.
After all, it was only yesterday that the news of Bai Zhen's sister marrying Cao Hai's son, Cao Song was spread through the kingdom.
And the King was already dead.
If it wasn't Bai Zhen who with the support of Cao Hai was confident enough to obtain the throne, then who else would benefit from the killing the king at such a time?
Thus, even before the final battle between the crown prince and Bai Zhen room place, more than half of the kingdom was already supporting Bai Shen.
...
”Where are that bitch and Sun Hai?”
Growling from anger and frustration, Bai Shen hit the table hard enough to break it and looked around.
While everyone on the outside thought that Bai Shen had a lot of support, since Guo Tian, Sun Hai, and the Zheng Clan were supporting him, he in fact didn't have any such support.
All he had with him was Guo Tian's support. The other two were forces which his mother controlled.
