The seeds of Datura are not easily available for purchase.

Even if Jiang Suining quickly discovered the seed powder remaining in the incense burner, he would not be able to find a channel to purchase it in a short time.

He was really curious about how Jiang Suining did it.

"Your Highness, I did not give you any Mandrake poison."

"I have just said that we are the only ones here. You don't have to be so defensive. You can just speak frankly..."

Halfway through his words, Prince Su looked at Jiang Suining's expression and suddenly understood.

"You mean to say that the seeds you gave me were not mandrake seeds?"

"Yes, it is castor bean, and its effect is similar to that of datura."

It is indeed not easy to find Datura seeds in a short period of time, but if you want to get castor beans, it is not that difficult.

"As far as I know, although castor beans have similar effects to datura seeds, they will not cause poisoning after being burned and inhaled."

Jiang Suining nodded, "So the castor bean poison was secretly added to the tea given to the prince."

"How dare you tamper with the prince's tea!" Butler Wu scolded.

Jiang Suining glanced at the angry housekeeper Wu, with a faint smile still on his lips.

"Butler Wu, you don't have to be so loud. If the prince wants to punish me, I will be punished even if you don't shout at the top of your lungs here."

The alchemy room is Prince Su's territory, and it is not easy to enter and tamper with it. However, Prince Su probably did not think that they would tamper with the tea, and he was not on guard, so they were able to succeed.

However, after this incident, I think Prince Su will be more cautious in the academy in the future.

Butler Wu's expression became even uglier because of Jiang Suining's indifferent attitude.

"Your Majesty, Jiang Suining actually dared to poison you. This matter must be severely punished, otherwise..."

"Madam Jiang is not a fool."

Prince Su interrupted Butler Wu. Compared to the anger on the other's face, he seemed calmer, as if it was someone else who was poisoned instead of him.

"If she hadn't been sure that I would not punish her for this matter, how could she have dared to admit everything in front of me, or even come here on her own initiative?"

This incident has caused such a big fuss. Regardless of whether there is evidence to prove that Jiang Suining and others poisoned him, even if there is, once the matter spreads, there will definitely be people who will dig deep and want to find out the truth.

Although he wanted to put the girls' college in trouble, he couldn't really make a big fuss about the matter, as that would not do him any good.

Jiang Suining met Prince Su's gaze and spoke slowly, "Your Highness is right. Since we dare to take action, we have already made all preparations. If Your Highness wants to make a big deal out of this matter, we will definitely accompany you to the end, but..."

"Just what?" asked Prince Su.

He wanted to hear how Jiang Suining would threaten him.

"But in this case, the goal that the prince has spent so much time and energy trying to achieve will probably not be achieved."

Prince Su snorted and said casually, "Do you know what I want to do?"

"Your Majesty wants to do something that is simply impossible."

Jiang Suining's words made the smile on Prince Su's face even more contemptuous.

"Madam Jiang is really ridiculous. What's the point of saying such general nonsense?"

"Then I will make my words clearer."

The smile on Jiang Suining's face faded, replaced by a serious look and a gaze as calm as water.

"In this world, there is no such thing as borrowing a corpse to revive the dead. There is no formation or sacrifice that can call back the soul of the dead and let it live in someone else's body. All the efforts made by the prince over the years are nothing but empty dreams."

The smile on Prince Su's face froze in an instant.

For a moment, all his expressions seemed to be frozen, and it took him a long time to regain control of his expression.

For the first time, there was a strong murderous intent in his eyes when he looked at Jiang Suining.

"I don't know what you are talking about."

Jiang Suining faced the murderous gaze and repeated, "Your Highness, the dead cannot be resurrected. There is no such thing as reincarnation in this world. Moreover, it is impossible for someone who has been dead for so many years to return to this world, so..."

"Shut up!"

Prince Su interrupted Jiang Suining. He was originally leaning on the back of the chair, looking a little weak, but he suddenly stood up, as if he was going to rush forward and break Jiang Suining's neck the next moment.

Jiang Suining stopped talking and just looked at Prince Su calmly. After thinking for a while, he continued speaking.

"Over the years, Your Majesty must have failed many times. In fact, you should know clearly in your heart that the so-called secret technique is nothing but empty talk."

"I've said it before, shut up!" Prince Su suddenly waved his sleeves, and the teacup on the table next to him fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

Fragments flew all over the ground, and Butler Wu's face changed with fear.

"Do you really think that I won't kill you?" Prince Su narrowed his eyes and looked at Jiang Suining.

Jiang Suining still stood there, "Your Majesty won't, at least not now."

"Why are you so sure?"

"Because Your Majesty knows very well that since I dare to say these words in front of you, it means that I have already made enough preparations. If you kill me, something you don't want to see will definitely happen."

Jiang Suining's tone remained calm, just like before, like a lake in autumn without a ripple, revealing calmness and confidence.

Prince Su stared at her, as if he wanted to see even the slightest trace of guilt in Jiang Suining, but he failed.

His rationality returned, the anger in his eyes gradually subsided, Prince Su pursed his lips and waved his hand, signaling Butler Wu to leave.

Steward Wu didn't even dare to breathe just now, but when he received the order, he retreated quickly without hesitation, and at the same time ordered the people outside not to come near.

In the hall, Prince Su sat back in his chair.

"Tell me what you know."

"I don't know much, and before the prince got angry just now, most of it was just speculation."

"So my anger just now actually helped you confirm your guess."

Prince Su wanted to give a sarcastic smile, but when the corners of his lips moved, he couldn't produce an arc.

"Do you know who this king wants to resurrect?"

Jiang Suining was silent for a moment before saying, "It was the Taoist priest Qingchen who was sentenced to death by beheading many years ago."

“Master Qingchen…” Prince Su finally laughed out loud this time. “Oh, everyone did call him that at that time. But I prefer to call him by another name—Huo Zhuo!”
