158 The Show Begins 5 (1/2)
What really ticked the Emperor off was that Jun Wu Xie had just stood there without a single word. Even if he chose to overlook that she arrived in the main hall without a bow or salutation to his Majesty as the Emperor, she did not even offer a single word of greeting! What an outrage! However, all he could do was to offer an amiable smile to his best ability.
The Emperor could not figure out what went wrong. He was almost rid of the Crown Prince, and even if he disregard that he had suddenly made a complete recovery, he had despite the odds garnered the total support of the common people! It had baffled him for a long time, but thinking back on it after seeing the pair standing in front of him, it all started after Mo Qian Yuan and Jun Wu Xie began to get close!
An obnoxious Young Miss from a declining Lin Palace, and an incompetent Crown Prince who was heavily poisoned…..
Put these two people he could have snuffed out with a snap of his fingers in the past together, and they had somehow brought upon him disaster as he had never encountered, practically placing his head on the guillotine.
And here they are, all the way in the main hall of the Imperial Palace, steps away from his throne…..
The Emperor would have roared with rage at their impunity, but he realised that the situation was not the same as before.
”Rise to your feet, you were doing it all in the interest of the kingdom, how would I place blame upon you?” The Emperor spat out those words and they left a bitter taste in his mouth.
”Your son here am ill versed in the ways of medicines and poisons, hence I have specially invited Jun Wu Xie here. The fact that the people were able to overcome this crisis in the poisoning incidents was all due to the efforts of Jun Wu Xie.” Out in the city, Jun Wu Xie had given the credit to Mo Qian Yuan to win him support, but here within the Imperial Palace, Mo Qian Yuan would give credit where it was due.
Hearing that, the Emperor was taken aback.
But to the ears of Bai Yun Xian, it prickled her she could not help but sneered condescendingly: ”Her efforts?” Nobody here knew the poison better than she did, who was Jun Wu Xie to claim she could neutralise the poison?
Jun Wu Xie's cold stare turned on Bai Yun Xian, her seemingly expressionless eyes made the hair on the back of Bai Yun Xian's neck stand, as a chill ran through her.
”Suffering, Deglaze, Mandela…..” Jun Wu Xie recited offhandedly a long list of over ten herbs' names, and besides a handful of common herbs, the majority were names the others in the main hall had never heard of.
The others were uncertain, but Bai Yun Xian paled noticeably as the names of the herbs were fully listed out by Jun Wu Xie.
How did she know!?
