Ninger immediately replied, “Yes,” her face expressionless as she stared at Liu Lan and spoke slowly, “The cup you tampered with just now was actually the one you were drinking from.”
“!”
Liu Lan’s eyes widened suddenly, “No…impossible! How is that possible! I clearly marked the cup, the one with a tiny black dot, that’s the poisoned cup.”
…
An Xuetang and others all sneered, Liu Lan just admitted it.
Liu Lan now couldn’t care less about admitting or denying anything. Her face was pale, her whole body trembling because she had seen it, she had seen the black spot on the cup she drank from.
But how could this be… She had made sure just before pouring the tea that she gave An Xue Tang the cup with the black spot. How could her own cup now have a black spot?
Liu Lan couldn’t believe it. She suddenly grabbed the cup in front of An Xue Tang on the table and checked it carefully. After a moment, she instantly slumped to the ground.
My mind is only thinking one thing: It’s over!
The cup that An Xue Tang used was indeed without black spots. The one with black spots was the one she drank from, which means the person who was poisoned wasn’t An Xue Tang, it was… her!
It was her who was poisoned!
“No, impossible!”
Liu Lan still couldn’t believe it. She sat blankly on the ground, her eyes constantly streaming with tears.
Looking at her like this, An Xuetang curled the corners of her mouth into a sneer. Ninger hadn’t finished speaking yet, and she was already acting so dramatically?
Next, there was her crying.
Of course, Ning’er continued her soft voice, “This thing, isn’t this the poison you want to give to our Princess?”
As they spoke, Ning’er opened her palm, revealing a white porcelain bottle resting in it.
Liu Lan looked up and saw the porcelain bottle in Ning’er’s palm. She was stunned for a moment, but the next second she snatched it away.
She opened it and saw that the medicine inside was still full. That meant she hadn’t poisoned it?
Thinking about this, Liu Lan even thought that she hadn’t poisoned herself, so she wasn’t poisoned?
Just as she was about to break into a smile, An Xuetang gave her an exasperated look and added, “This is your poison. So have you ever thought about what kind of liquid you poured into the cup?”
“!”
Liu Lan’s heart clenched instantly. She stared at An Xue Tang in disbelief, “You…you poisoned me?”
An Xue Tang chuckled, “This poison… didn’t you put it yourself?”
Liu Lan’s eyes widened, her trembling fingers pointing at An Xue Tang in fury. “You… you let this vile woman scheme against me? So, earlier in the kitchen, when you deliberately approached me, it was to switch the poison on my waist? You… what poison did you give me?”
Hearing Liu Lan dare to use the word “cheap woman” to describe Ning’er, An Xue Tang’s eyes instantly became extremely sharp. She coldly said, “Ning’er, slap her!”
“Yes.”
Ning’er’s voice had just fallen when her slap landed instantly on Liu Lan’s face.
Liu Lan let out a scream of pain, An Xue Tang immediately ordered, “Ning’er, she’s too noisy.”
The next second, Ning’er immediately pressed Liu Lan’s mute acupoint.
An Xuetang’s gloomy eyes stared at Liu Lan, “Ning’er, continue fighting, fight until her face is swollen into a pig’s head.”
“Yes.”
Ninger’s hand was heavy, and Liu Lan’s face quickly swelled up until she realized that if she hit her any harder, Liu Lan’s skin would probably be broken.
Then, An Xuetang stopped Ning’er.
She walked to the pain-stricken Liu Lan who lay on the ground. Now, the poison in Liu Lan’s body had taken effect, and her whole body was itching. She could only scratch with her nails constantly. Liu Lan’s body was scratched in many places by herself.
Covered in bloodstains and with a face swollen to this extent, Liu Lan looked utterly miserable at this moment!
But such she was, all of her own making. There wasn’t a trace of pity in An Xue Tang’s eyes for her.
Today, she absolutely had to give Liu Lan a lesson as chilling as death!
Otherwise, this Liu Lan would really think she, An Xue Tang, is easy to bully!
As time was getting late, An Xuetang didn’t intend to continue playing around with Liu Lan. She had no time to beat around the bush anymore, so she directly said, “Noble Consort Liu, only I can cure the poison on your body.”
Liu Lan struggled to raise her head. Her eyes, filled with hatred, stared at An Xue Tang. To be honest, she had no idea how she had been exposed. She racked her brains, but couldn’t figure it out.
But she understood more clearly now that it wasn’t the time to dwell on such things. What she needed to do was figure out what An Xue Tang really wanted. So she gritted her teeth and asked, “An Xue Tang, what…what do you want?”
An Xue Tang curled her lips, “Shouldn’t this be me asking you? What do you really want? You have a cunning mind, it’s a pity, playing tricks only works if you choose the right target. If you choose the wrong one, you’ll pay dearly for it!”
“Of course, we have different paths to choose from, and I don’t expect you to follow mine. But since you chose another path, and now someone is trying to harm me because of your choices, that’s where you went wrong.”
“It’s all your fault.” Liu Lan snarled, “My life has been so hard, and now that I’ve finally found happiness, you… why won’t you let me go?”
” ”
An Xuetang sneered, “Liu Lan, you really have the nerve to say such things with your eyes open. You entered the palace and should be content being a noble consort, yet you insist on getting involved with Mo Yunze. Do you blame me for this? Besides, if it weren’t for your desire to poison me, you wouldn’t be in this state now.”
“An Xue Tang, you…you give me the antidote. I…I say whatever, I’m still the mother of this body of yours. You can’t do this to me! I struggled for half my life to raise you, and now this?”
An Xuetang tsked twice, just this plastic mother-daughter relationship wants to take it out and talk about?
An Xue Tang let out a cold laugh, “Liu Gui Fei, rest assured, you will understand someday, worrying about things that are difficult won’t help. Don’t be sad today, because tomorrow will be the same. Someone like you, with such a filthy heart… You will never have a good day.”
An Xuetang clapped her hands and stood up, looking down at her with a condescending air. “In short, I want you to tell me what Mo Yunze is up to. Otherwise…I won’t give you the antidote for this poison. If this poison attacks twice more, even if an immortal descended from heaven, they wouldn’t be able to stop your death.”
“This poison attacks every half month. If you can’t report any news about Mo Yunze before the next attack, you… just wait for the consequence of being beaten to death.”
After finishing, An Xue Tang waved her hand and said, “Shou’er Kang’er, take Concubine Liu back to the emperor.”
“No…no, An Xuetang you can’t do this to me, give me the antidote, quickly give me the antidote.”
Liu Lan knew deeply that in her current state, if the Emperor saw her, he would certainly no longer favor her.
