Chapter 624 - Poison, so What if She Was Disabled? (1/2)

“Consort Xuan, you are so polite. Her Majesty has already given it to you. Do you want Her Majesty to take it back?” Princess Caifeng was watching Mo Xuetong’s behavior closely. When she saw that Mo Xuetong was still refusing, she decided to use the Empress Dowager’s name to suppress her. Even though it was given in her name, it was indeed a gift from the Empress Dowager, so Mo Xuetong did not have any reason to refuse.

Mo Xuetong could only stand up and said respectfully to the Empress Dowager, “Many thanks for the reward, My Majesty!”

“There’s no need to be so polite!” the Empress Dowager said with a smile.

Mo Xuetong sat down again, but Princess Caifeng came over and said to her with a warm smile, “Consort Xuan, this bracelet is really beautiful. You should open it and have a look. I’ll help you put it on.”

As she spoke, she was about to open the box!

The box was facing Mo Xuetong’s face!

Feng Yuran’s lazy expression immediately turned sharp. He stared at the box with his pretty eyes and slowly looked at Princess Caifeng’s face. His eyes were filled with viciousness and bloodl.u.s.t. He picked up a small teacup by the table and fiddled with it as if he did not mean anything.

Qin Yufeng’s expression also changed as he immediately understood Princess Caifeng’s intentions.

He knew the truth. There was a detailed record in the book that Crown Prince Xieyue lent him. The South Pearl necklace was indeed made of the best South Pearls, but when it was made, some medicine was added to the South Pearls. The Southern Barbarian Lands had a special method to make poison, and the medicine on the South Pearl necklace was the essence at that time.

No matter how many years the South Pearl had been locked in this jewelry box, it would be fine. But if the box was opened, the mixture of the medicine on the South Pearls and the air would slowly produce an incurable poison. No matter who touched this poison, they would die. Within 24 hours, they would definitely die and there was no antidote.

Even if a man touched it slightly, it would also flow into his blood vessels through his skin.

“Your Highness, no, I’ll look at it later.” Mo Xuetong placed her hand on Princess Caifeng’s and looked at the people around her awkwardly. It was okay to take out the accessory that was given and put it on. However, since there were so many people present, it was impolite. Furthermore, one of them was a princess and the other was a prince’s wife. How could they try to wear them on the spot like those petty people?

Seeing Princess Caifeng acted like this, the Empress Dowager could not be happy at all. If not for the loss of the child of Consort Yu and the loss of her secret p.a.w.n, she would not have allowed Feng Yuzhen to marry such a petty woman. She could not help but frown as she wondered if the Southern Barbarian Lands’ palace had already been so poor that their n.o.ble princess looked as if she had not seen many good things.

“My Lady, our princess wants to put it on for you in such a hurry because of your extraordinary appearance. You will definitely be more beautiful if you wear it. My Lady, please wear it and satisfy our princess’s wishes.” At this time, Hu Qianyue had no choice but to come out to help Princess Caifeng. Since Princess Caifeng had lost her etiquette, as the daughter of an official, she had to help her out. Actually, she also hated herself in her heart. “Why did I listen to Princess Caifeng and enter the palace with her back then?”

But now that things had come to this point, she had no choice but to help Princess Caifeng!

Hu Qianyue was glad that the poison would not take effect on the spot, and it was invisible. Besides, no one in the Qin Kingdom knew the poison so well!

She should not have known about this, but since she would come to the Qin Kingdom with Princess Caifeng this time, the Empress of the Southern Barbarian Lands especially asked her to go to the palace and told her about it. She also told her that when she came back this time, she would be the wife of the Third Prince. Then, she would be a member of the royal family.

They sent the necklace with an evil intention. It was Crown Prince Xieyue who came to the Qin Kingdom, so if something happened in the Qin Kingdom, the blame would inevitably fall on the crown prince. Crown Prince Xieyue could not be on good terms with the Qin Kingdom, and he would also become their enemy. As the gift was given by that way, how could an ordinary person get it?

Although the poison couldn’t be found out, Hu Qianyue only needed to say a few words to attract the attention to Crown Prince Xieyue. By then, Xieyue wouldn’t be able to explain it no matter how hard he tried. This gift was sent out before Xieyue knew it. Even if Xieyue had found out, he wouldn’t be able to get it back.

However, now that things went off course, Hu Qianyue did not dare to say anything else. She could only go along with Princess Caifeng’s wishes and try to persuade her. If anything were to happen to Consort Xuan, Princess Caifeng would definitely push the blame onto her. She had not expected that this idiot Caifeng would drag her down as well.

Since she had already come to the palace, she could not avoid such things. She only hoped that no one would find out that Consort Xuan’s death had something to do with this necklace!

However, Hu Qianyue still had something to rely on. Every item on the altar of the temple was a rare treasure, and this necklace was left by a high priest. Since there was no antidote, it had been left there all the time. She did not believe that the Qin Kingdom would find evidence without her secret advice!

“Consort Xuan, just wear it. Let me have a look!” Princess Caifeng looked more and more sincere and there was a hint of expectation in her eyes. Her beautiful eyes were filled with charm. In the past, Princess Caifeng had used this expression to solve every problem. Who would be able to reject such a simple request from a beautiful woman?

But now, this situation made people feel a little weird!
