Chapter 44: Highly Toxic! Touch It, and You Die! (2/2)

What? Ruan Jiujiu was startled.

“I don’t want the three boxes.”

Beiming Xuan straightforwardly expressed his opinion to her.

But Ruan Jiujiu was speechless. He aimed at letting her come up with an idea for him to refuse those gifts.

That was harder than making a poem in just seven steps!

She wanted to stop there, but it was impossible -- everyone was watching her.

Not to mention that Beiming Xuan would never forgive her later if she did so, the citizens around who were fanatical supporters of Beiming Xuan would drown her with their spit for bringing this humiliation to him.

They dared not to blame the Emperor Tianlong, so Ruan Jiujiu naturally became the scapegoat.

If she refused to take the three boxes, the Emperor Tianlong could behead her with any excuse then and there.

What a big trap Beiming Xuan had dug for her!

And she even had no choice but jump in.

“Ruan Jiujiu, you’re dead.”

Suddenly she heard the vicious voice, Ruan Jiujiu saw that Ruan Qingqing had sobered up and stared at her coldly.

Ruan Jiujiu now wanted to curse again!

But Raun Qingqing even laughed gloatingly. Ruan Jiujiu clenched her teeth, and came close, “What did you say, cousin?”

“What?” Ruan Qingqing had never expected that she would walk to her, and could not help but let out a cry of shock.

Ruan Jiujiu frowned, and pretended to be surprised, “Sorry, could you say that again?”

Ruan Qingqing looked at her questioningly, and whispered, “What’s your problem?”

She could not scold her loudly, because in terms of her identity, it was not appropriate for her to argue with Ruan Jiujiu.

However, Ruan Jiujiu raised her voice, and asked surprisingly, “Really? Are you sure, my cousin?”

“Ruan Jiujiu, have you lost your mind? I warn you, there is no use for you to pretend to be crazy!” She looked at her, with her voice that was only enough for Ruan Jiujiu to hear, and her words were full of venom.

Ruan Jiujiu ignored her, and retreated two steps, and turned to Beiming Xuan, “My lord, we cannot take those boxes.”

Beiming Xuan looked at her coldly, “Why?”

Even the Emperor Tianlong above was also staring at her in rage.

But her words were more shocking, “They were toxic!”

“How dare you!” Suddenly a loud voice burst out, which stunned her a bit, and she stepped back. The Emperor’s eyes blazed with fury, and shouted, “Arrest her!”

The Emperor would never send these gifts to the Lord Ming if they were toxic.

And Beiming Xuan also frowned, “Is this your idea?”

But it seemed that this idea could only bring her to death.

At this moment, the guards of the Emperor had come to her and were ready to arrest her.

However, she jumped to hide behind Beming Xuan, so that these guards had to stop there.

Beiming Xuan also lost her temper. Not to mention her stupid idea, she even tried to hide behind him!

“Ruan Jiuji!”

But she clung to his clothes and never moved, and then raised her head and shouted to the Emperor, “My Emperor, it is my cousin who says they are toxic! She just says so, and people around her all have heard that! She also tells me that it is highly toxic! Touch it, and you die!”
