Chapter 816
Soon, Granny Li was escorted to Rongxi Hall by the guards of the Prince's Mansion.
Everyone's attention was drawn to Granny Li.
The old lady's face turned pale the moment she saw Granny Li.
Granny Li was thrown to the ground, crying out "Ouch! Ouch!" several times. She was kicked by a guard and immediately stopped crying.
Before everyone could look away, the old lady took a deep breath and, forcing herself to remain calm, asked, "What's wrong with Granny Li?"
Madam Zhou stepped forward: "Madam, this old woman is hiding poison. I suspect she is the one who poisoned the young mistress these past few days!"
"I'm not!" Granny Li wailed. "It really wasn't me!"
The old lady's eyes sharpened: "You've examined it? Is it really poison?"
"Yes, this servant has already had the doctor examine it. The doctor said that the medicine is extremely insidious. After it dissolves, it is colorless and odorless, so no one can tell the difference. However, if taken for too long, it will first cause dizziness and nausea, and eventually it may even cause suffocation and death!"
Hearing Zhou's mother's words, a cold glint flashed in Shen Rang's eyes.
Indeed, it was insidious.
Shen Rang almost dared not imagine what the consequences would have been if the discovery had come any later.
Shen Rang couldn't help but blame himself for his carelessness.
Even though I'm with Huo Zhao every day, how come I didn't notice anything unusual about her?
Thinking about it carefully, Huo Zhao's appetite has decreased a lot recently, which is probably related to this matter.
Once things get going, they will overwhelm you like a tidal wave.
Shen Rang was momentarily dazed.
It wasn't until Madam Zheng spoke up: "This poison is so insidious that the person who administered it must be severely punished, but we also need to thoroughly investigate who delivered it!"
Madam Shui was very satisfied with Madam Zheng's attitude: "Madam is right. Our Prince and Princess value the Princess the most. With such a big incident, we must investigate it thoroughly!"
At the head of the table, the old lady's eyes flickered as she looked at Granny Li, seemingly deep in thought.
Shen Rang came to his senses: "It wouldn't be easy for such an old woman to poison the young mistress. There must be a mastermind behind her and someone who can help her. We need to investigate them one by one and not let any of them get away."
When he said this, Shen Rang's voice carried a faint killing intent that anyone could hear.
The old lady glanced at Shen Rang discreetly, then looked at Granny Li: "This old woman has been by my side for many years, and I really never imagined she would be secretly poisoning people..."
Granny Li glared, wanting to speak, but the old lady didn't give her the chance: "You, you, doing such a foolish thing, have you ever thought about your family? Without you, how will they live?"
Granny Li's mouth was open, but she couldn't utter a single word.
yes......
She also has family...
If she leaves like this, her family can still be properly taken care of. But if she exposes the old lady, not only will she be doomed, but her entire family will also face death...
Thinking of this, Granny Li shut her mouth.
Madam Zheng said, "How could this old woman have such murderous intent towards the young mistress? This seems rather illogical."
“There’s nothing illogical about it!” Granny Li cried out shrilly. “That little girl has repeatedly displeased the old lady. I’ve disliked her for a long time! I regret it now. I shouldn’t have given her that slow-acting poison. I should have seized the opportunity and killed her in one blow!”
