Translator: Guy Gone Bad
Murong Xue curled up her lips and sneered with no one noticing. So Qin Yuyan was cornered and tried to drag her into this. Since she wanted to die, she could make her, “Why would I set you up?”
“Because I snapped your fiancé, making you a laughing stick. You hold the grudge and use such despicable and shameless means to set me up!” censured Qin Yuyan, with raging fire in her eyes.
Murong Xue tittered, “I have never acknowledged Prince Jing as my fiancé. If you want, he is all yours. I wouldn’t mind at all. As for those officials in the capital, they only laugh at you two. One has no morals to demote his wife to a concubine. One is morally corrupt to steal other’s fiancé relying on her identity of a princess…”
“Shut up!” Qin Yuyan interrupted her angrily, with burning fire under her eyes. She was the Princess of Mo Bei. All these years, no one had never talked back at her or mock her. Murong Xue really crossed the line!
“You are only a woman living in the inner chamber. You can not even cure yourself, but brought the dying Old Prince Jing back to life? Hehe, isn’t this really a coincidence?”
All people’s eyes fell on Murong Xue. Judging from her slim body and slightly pale delicate face, apparently she was still quite sick. She couldn’t even cure herself, but now she detoxicated Old Prince Jing! This was indeed suspicious. Was it she who had administered the poison? And only this could explain why she recognized the antidote so easily…
Under everyone’s suspicious eyes, Murong Xue said calmly, “When I was free at home, I have read some medical books which explain how to treat illnesses and how to detoxify according to different kinds of poison, so…”
Qin Yuyan hummed, “Stop quibbling…”
“She is not quibbling! She really knows it.” Dongfang Li walked forward and looked at Qin Yuyan, “I am Dongfang Li from Xi Liang Kingdom. I got Blood Poison. And all thanks to Miss Murong, the poison in my body is reducing day by day. If you don’t believe me, you can ask the imperial doctor to feel my pulse…”
After a pause, he continued, “I got poisoned in Xi Liang Kingdom, about 5 or 6 years already. So it could never be Miss Murong who…”
Pfff! A servant could not hold it and laughed! So the prince from Xi Liang Kingdom was mocking Qin Yuyan!
Qin Yuyan’s face immediately darkened. She thought to herself, “Since when has Murong Xue hooked up with Prince Li from Xi Liang Kingdom? Why does he speak for her? Son of a bitch! But since Dofang Li requires an imperial doctor’s presence, it means the poison in his body indeed reduces…But even if Murong Xue knows how to detoxify, it doesn’t mean she is not slandering me.”
Qin Yuyan pointed at Beibei who was lying under the pear tree and said coldly, “Murong Xue, this is your dog, right? After it came out of the main courtyard, it directly ran into my place. It looks like it followed the smell of the poison and found this place, but who knows whether it is you who has already taught it the route…”
“This is the first time I am in Prince Jing Mansion. So I would never know you live here. Then how did I bury the poison here to set you up?” Murong raised her eyebrows and looked at Qin Yuyan, with all contempt in her eyes.
“But it doesn’t mean some friend of yours has never come…” Qin Yuyan hummed and turned her eyes towards Ouyang Shaochen intentionally.
Ouyang Shaochen had super kung fu. He could sneak into the mansion quietly and buried the poison under the pear tree without alarming anyone.
“If I really hate you so badly, I would ask my friend to sneak into the mansion, poison you and the get your badly injured. Then even if you die in your sleep, people would only think you die of the severe injuries. Why would I beat around the bush to frame you, to set you up? The point is this could not end your life at all. It gives me a headache even on thinking of it…” Murong Xue squinted at her, with only distains in her eyes.
“You…” Qin Yuyan was so angry that she even lost her tongue.
People all looked at each other, and then lowered their eyes, thinking, “Bury the poison here, then poison Old Prince Jing, then let the dog follow the smell to find this place, and then frame Qin Yuyan up. Oh man, it’s really long-winded. The point is this can’t shake Qin Yuyan’s foundation at all. Why not poison her and give her a quick death…”
A breeze blew the light scent of medicine into Murong Xue’s nose. She blinked and then said, “You brought all these things from Mo Bei, right? I sniffed an extremely special medicine which only grows in the thick woods of Mo Bei…”
“Don’t talk nonsense!” Qin Yuyan hurriedly cut in, with anxiety in her eyes.
Murong Xue cast a glance at her randomly, “We’ll know whether I am talking nonsense after the imperial doctor checks it.”
Qin Yuyan’s eyes shone, and then she shouted, “Even the poison is peculiar to Mo Bei. You can’t prove it belongs to me.
The poison was dug out in her yard, not from her room or her body. So as long as she didn’t admit it, no one could do anything to her.
Bark! Bark! Beibei barked and then jumped onto Qin Yuyan fiercely.
Without any preparation for this, Qin Yuyan got knocked onto the ground from the wheel chair. The sharp pains from the back made her scream!
Beibei turned a deaf ear and kept scratching her head with its jaws, making her exquisite chignon turn into a messy bird nest.
As her arms got hurt, Qin Yuyan couldn’t use any strength, so she shouted, “What are you waiting for? Get the damn dog off me!”
“Yes, yes, yes!” Now Yingying and other maidservants and mamas came to themselves and tried to catch Beibei.
Bam! A golden hairpin on Qin Yuyan’s chignon fell on the ground, with a bit of white powder spitted out.
Qin Yuyan got startled and tried to snatch it. But a delicate hand picked it up before her.
Looking at the well-carved hairpin, Murong Xue raised her eyebrows, “So this gold hairpin is hallow, with powder in it, which is used to poison Old Prince Jing…”
“No, no, it’s not. Don’t slander me…” Qin Yuyan tried to defend herself, with all anxiety in her eyes.
“You know whether I have you wronged.” Murong Xue looked at Qin Yuyan indifferently, “This hairpin fell from your head, and you wear it willingly. Don’t say I put it on your head without you noticing!”
