Gu Pianran also understood this logic, but a good move turned out like this.
"Jingyu, I'm afraid they might resort to other despicable tactics."
"Don't worry, I've already assigned shadow guards to monitor the test bench. If they try to tamper with it, my people will catch them immediately."
His words did not comfort her, but made her depressed.
As a result, she couldn't do anything she wanted to do.
Damn it, with An Ye watching over the Lei family, she couldn't do it. And with Shadow Guard watching over her, it would be difficult for her to do it again.
Gu Pianran's face turned a little ugly.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, it's okay, I'm just a little tired." Gu Pianran just felt upset and had a severe headache.
Tang Jingyu nervously carried her to the bed and anxiously asked for a doctor to come.

Bei Yutang, on the other hand, naturally knew the situation, but even so, she dared not relax for a moment and had people keep a close eye on the test bench. Anye was watching from the open, and some beggars and local tyrants she had bribed were watching from the dark. If there was any sign of trouble, they would be the first to know.
Time passed day by day, and the date set by the emperor was approaching.
Lord Wang was worried. "Madam Mu, are you sure you can really test it out?"
"I can't guarantee it 100%, but the probability of 70 to 80 percent is okay."
"Tomorrow is the deadline. But I see that no one on either side has any reaction." Lord Wang was anxious.
"Don't be anxious, sir. It's not time yet."
If the cream wasn't the problem, the entire city of Chang'an would be plunged into panic. An unknown poison spreading through Chang'an, and even throughout the entire Southern Tang Kingdom, would be the last thing the emperor wanted to see.
Lord Wang was not as relaxed as Bei Yutang, and he was very restless.
"I'd better go take a look."
Lord Wang walked out the door, and Bei Yutang followed him. As they reached the door, they happened to see a guard rushing in.
"Why are you so flustered?" Lord Wang scolded.
The yamen runner said excitedly, "Sir, it's out, it's out."
"What!" Lord Wang pushed him away and walked quickly towards the test bench.
On Gu's laboratory table, a woman's face had red marks dotted on it. These red marks were not very obvious yet, but they would soon turn into disgusting bumps.
The prisoner looked at herself in the mirror. "My face."
The faces of the other two female prisoners were still intact, but after seeing their companion's face, even though they were mentally prepared, a trace of panic unconsciously arose in their hearts.
Lord Wang was very happy, as this way he could report to his superiors.
The people watching the excitement around started shouting after seeing the red bumps on the female prisoner's face.
"It appeared on her face."
"It also appeared on the face of that female prisoner."
"Look, there's something wrong with the last female prisoner's face too."
"It's the Gu's cream that's the problem. It's the Gu's cream."
"Gu's damn company actually sells poisonous cream."
…
More and more people gathered to watch. After hearing the news, many of them came to see what was happening. After seeing what was happening, they all joined the ranks to attack Gu's Trading Company.
The three female prisoners who were being experimented on the Lei family's high platform were still frightened when they saw the miserable condition of the people opposite them.
