Looking at Xia Zhilu who was gagged and forcibly dragged away, Xia Luotong had no sympathy in her eyes because Xia Zhilu did not deserve sympathy.
Not only was she unworthy of sympathy, she even felt that this punishment was too light. Compared with the vicious hands that Xia Zhilu had dealt to her, she felt that she should do something more to prevent Xia Zhilu from ever turning over, and remember it firmly. Live to bring about your own consequences.
Xia Zhilu was taken away. Miss Lin, who had been punished in the same way as her, cried and begged to no avail and saw that she was about to be taken away as well. She suddenly shouted to Xia Luotong in panic.
"Princess! You promised to give me the antidote! I don't want to die yet!"
Miss Lin suddenly remembered that Xia Luotong had threatened her with poison. If she was taken away like this, what about her antidote?
"Antidote? What antidote?" The queen suddenly asked as if she had grasped something, with a faint expectation rising in her heart!
They were already in trouble today, even the Liu family was being won over by King Qin, which was really not a good situation.
The queen's question was also the doubt in the hearts of everyone present. They glanced back and forth at Xia Luotong and Miss Lin with suspicious expressions, as if they were wondering if there was something going on?
The poison is coming out one after another today, and no one knows if something will happen again.
The reaction of Wu Zechen and others was different from the others. Their hearts tightened and some uneasiness flashed through them.
They knew that Xia Luotong could use poison. In order to make Miss Lin obey, it was very possible to use poison on him. But if Miss Lin said it at this time, there was no guarantee that someone would not let him go, just like now. Like a queen.
By then, Xia Luotong's knowledge of poisoning could no longer be concealed.
However, Wu Zechen thought again. In fact, it doesn't matter even if Xia Luotong's poisonous skills are exposed now. After all, her identity as the Baihua Valley inheritance has been confirmed. The exposure will make others more afraid of her and dare not treat her. Take action easily.
The status of Baihua Valley is so transcendent that even people with poison skills will not be as suspicious and disliked by the world as ordinary people who use poison, but they will be somewhat feared.
This situation is due to the good reputation Baihua Valley has accumulated for generations, and people from the Baihua Valley poisonous art line have also saved a lot of people. If the evil disciple appears, Baihua Valley will take action himself without anyone else taking action. Punish such disciples.
Although Wu Zechen thought so, he didn't say much. It mainly depends on Xia Luotong's own wishes. If she is not willing to disclose her identity for the time being, then naturally he will not overstep her authority.
Miss Lin didn't know what everyone was thinking, let alone what the queen was expecting. At this time, she just wanted to get the antidote and save her life, so when the queen asked, she said everything.
"...I know I was wrong, but I also tried everything I know! Princess An, please give me the antidote!"
"Princess An! You actually used poison on people! How is your behavior different from theirs?! You should also be punished!" The queen suddenly straightened her expression and looked at Xia Luotong sternly, thinking that she had caught Xia Luotong. Luo Tong's handle, a look of pride flashed across his eyes.
Prince An and his wife are usually as cunning as foxes and can't catch anything. Now they have finally caught such an opportunity. The queen doesn't care whether she is being reasonable or not. She will seize it first!
However, Xia Luotong raised his lips and chuckled, without any panic on his face: "Queen, as a queen, you must speak with evidence, right? Did you see with your own eyes that my concubine was poisoned?"
The Queen was stunned for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "You still want to quibble? Miss Lin has already said that you poisoned her!"
"She said that I had poisoned me. Could it be that I really did? Then she just said that Miss Liu changed the poison for me. Why didn't you, Queen, say so? Otherwise, Miss Liu would have had no choice but to hide like this. In the past, I could have saved my life by poisoning my concubine." Xia Luotong replied coolly.
The queen choked on the spot, then rolled her eyes and saw Imperial Physician Zhong standing by with his hands down. She suddenly felt happy and said: "Since Princess An refuses to admit it, let Physician Zhong step forward to diagnose Miss Lin's pulse." Check it out!”
The queen looked at Xia Luotong with a proud look in her eyes. She expected to see Xia Luotong panicking, but she didn't expect that Xia Luotong still had that leisurely and calm expression, without any panic at all.
She suddenly felt anxious, and sure enough, the next moment she heard Xia Luotong speak, and agreed very simply: "Okay, then let Dr. Zhong take my pulse, so that I can clear my concubine's name in public."
Now it was not just the queen, everyone was stunned. Xia Luotong actually agreed?
Did she really not poison Miss Lin?
But Miss Lin’s reaction doesn’t look like she’s talking nonsense? Miss Lin looked really afraid of death!
Under everyone's doubtful gazes, Doctor Zhong got the Queen Mother's permission and stepped forward to carefully check Miss Lin's pulse.
After a while, Doctor Zhong withdrew his hand. Before he could speak, the Queen could not wait to take the lead.
"Mr. Zhong, how is Miss Lin? What kind of poison was she poisoned?"
The queen's words clearly confirmed that Miss Lin was poisoned, and she directly asked what kind of poison she was poisoned with.
Xia Luotong glanced at the Queen mockingly, and did not stand up in a hurry to say anything. Instead, he looked at Doctor Zhong calmly.
Doctor Zhong spoke respectfully: "Ms. Lin was not poisoned. Although there were signs of poisoning before, the poison has been eliminated."
"Not poisoned? How could it be?!" The queen's face was full of disbelief, and her voice even sounded a little higher.
Not to mention the queen, even Miss Lin herself looked stunned.
She looked at Xia Luotong blankly and asked, "How could it not be poisoned? Then what did you give me to eat before, Princess?"
"It's just a pill to regulate the body. The poison thing is just to scare you." Xia Luotong glanced at Miss Lin coolly, and there was no good look on his face. After all, Miss Lin was an accomplice.
In fact, she had actually thought about giving Miss Lin some medicine before, but the current situation made her reason prevail. Fortunately, her caution was right, otherwise the situation would have been embarrassing.
"It turns out to be, conditioning the body..."
Miss Lin really didn't expect that what frightened her was not poison at all, but a pill to regulate the body? !
However, it was a good thing that she was not poisoned. Miss Lin suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and her whole body softened. If the palace aunt hadn't been holding her up, she would have knelt on the ground again.
However, the Queen was obviously unwilling to let Xia Luotong go just like that. She even believed that Dr. Zhong was the Queen Mother's employee and must be helping Xia Luotong, so she gritted her teeth and refused to give up.
"Perhaps Imperial Physician Zhong failed to notice the poison administered by Princess An, so there are many imperial physicians on standby for today's banquet. Immediately send two more people over for inspection!"
