Chapter 1166 - The Empress (2) (2/2)

Long Qin put down her chopsticks and turned to Ji Fengyan with an innocent smile. “Sister, what did you discover when you examined my mother earlier?”

Long Xi thought that Long Qin was just curious about Ji Fengyan, and he was about to interrupt his sister’s mischief when Ji Fengyan suddenly stared straight at Long Qin with clear eyes. “Your Highness, do you wish to hear lies or the truth?”

Ji Fengyan’s statement utterly stunned long Xi.

Astonishment also flashed across Long Qin’s eyes. “I have heard too many lies. I do wish to hear the truth now and then.”

Ji Fengyan understood and she replied slowly, “There is nothing wrong with the Empress’ health…”

Long Qin’s brows furrowed.

“But I am afraid she will not have much time left if the slow-acting poison in her is not removed.” Ji Fengyan finished.

There was a cras.h.i.+ng sound as Long Qin jumped up from her seat and accidentally knocked off some utensils in her panic.

Long Xi was also dazed. “Miss Ji, what do you mean? Slow-acting poison? You say that my mother…”

Ji Fengyan replied in a bland manner, “I think Long Qin knows more about the Empress’s condition than me. Princess Long Qin, you don’t have to sound me out. I have the same goal as you two. If you miss this chance today, I am afraid it will be even harder for you and your brother to meet up in the future.”

Long Qin’s face had turned increasingly grim at Ji Fengyan’s words. Long Xi also felt something was wrong and hurriedly looked at Long Qin. He asked anxiously, “What the h.e.l.l is going on?!”

Long Qin pursed her lips, the innocence on her face long gone. She lifted her eyes towards Long Xi.

“Brother, you must save mother and father…”
