Chapter 104: Such a Vicious Thought

Lu Yanshi immediately became alert.

Would they have hidden the poison in the sugar painting?

But this method is too low-class and too stupid.

If there is poison in the sugar painting, then it would be a sure thing.

"This sugar painting is really refreshing." Lu Yanshi praised hypocritically.

Qi Xingyue took the candied haws from the little boy's hand on the sugar painting, took a few steps forward, and handed it to Lu Li.

She smiled and said, "Princess Nine, try it. This candied haws is sweet and crispy. I'm sure you will like it."

Her visits to Weiyang Palace these few days were not in vain.

She had inquired and found out that Lu Li's favorite thing was candied haws. She would eat at least two large strings of candied haws every day, so today's gift came into being.

She firmly believed that Lu Li would not refuse her Tanghulu.

But what she didn't know was that the candied haws were not for Lu Li to eat, but were given to Yuangungun by her.

Tanghulu, which has fruit and is sweet, has become Yuanrunrun's favorite.

[Good fellow, he actually hid the poison in his fingernails!!!]

[He wants to make me swallow the poison while he wipes my mouth. ]

Lu Li learned about Qi Xingyue's plan from the melon-eating system and couldn't help but complain.

Lu Yanshi and Xia Shuying were both shocked.

What a vicious mind!

If they couldn't hear Xiaojiu's inner voice, they would definitely think that the poison was put on the sugar painting. When they checked, they found nothing. With so many people watching, they had no evidence and could not do anything to Qi Xingyue and the others.

Lu Li knew that the candied haws were not poisonous, so she took it readily.

Before Xia Shuyi could even stop her, he saw her lick it.

Qi Xingyue didn't expect things to go so smoothly.

She saw the sugar stains on Lu Li's lips and quickly took out her handkerchief: "Ah, this candied haws is really damn bad, it actually stained the Ninth Princess, Xingyue will wipe it for you."

As soon as her hand reached Lu Li, Lu Yanshi could no longer bear it and directly ordered: "Take her down."

Before Qi Xingyue could touch Lu Li, she was pinned down by the guards.

This sudden change stunned everyone present.

What is happening.

"Qi Xingyue, I originally planned to let you return to Beiyong after the banquet because your father returned to Daxia. I didn't expect that you would have such evil intentions and want to harm my daughter." Lu Yanshi scolded.

"It's unfair, I am innocent." Qi Xingyue's mind was in a mess.

She didn't know where she had let herself go.

She could only cry out that she was wronged.

"Haha, are you innocent?" Lu Yanshi sneered.

"Break her finger and have the imperial physician examine it to see what kind of poison is hidden under her nail."

Qi Xingyue was so frightened that she even forgot to cry out for justice.

She did it so covertly, how did Emperor Xia know about it?

[How did Father know that she hid the poison under her fingernails? ]

Lu Li was also surprised.

She originally planned to take advantage of Qi Xingyue's proximity to her to control her and make her go crazy and embarrass herself on the spot.

Unexpectedly, before she could take any action, her father had Qi Xingyue captured first.

When Lu Yanshi heard this, his body stiffened.

Oh no, he was too anxious and forgot that his daughter was not an ordinary child and it was not easy to fool her.

"I have known about your conspiracy for a long time. I kept it to myself because I wanted to give you a chance to mend your ways. I never thought you would be so vicious. I am so disappointed." In desperation, Lu Yanshi made up an excuse.

Qi Xingyue suddenly understood.

She said that Emperor Xia was insidious and cunning, so how could he allow them to do whatever they wanted in the capital? As expected, he secretly sent people to keep an eye on them.

Their every move must have been seen by Lu Yanshi.

Fortunately, they thought their actions were so meticulous, but in fact, they were full of loopholes.

Qi Xingyue felt hopeless, knowing that she would not be able to leave the capital today.

[My father is far-sighted enough to send someone to keep an eye on them early on.]

Seeing that Lu Li believed what he said, Lu Yanshi breathed a sigh of relief.

The imperial physician carefully stepped forward and examined Qi Xingyue's fingernails. After a moment, he said solemnly, "Her fingernails contain a deadly poison. If the Ninth Princess gets a small bite of it, she will die within a quarter of an hour. Even a great immortal would not be able to save her."

The imperial physician's words made Lu Yanshi look even uglier.

"Feed her this poison and watch her swallow it. I will make her suffer the consequences."

"Yes." The guard carried out Lu Yanshi's order without hesitation.

As death approached, Qi Xingyue became more and more panicked.

"Brother Prince, please save me, save me!" She cried and looked in the direction of Qi Xingran.

But her struggles for mercy were in vain. The guards pulled out her nails expressionlessly and stuffed poison into her mouth.

Qi Xingyue nearly fainted from the pain. Her face turned pale, her lips trembled, and she couldn't utter a word.

Everyone present fell silent.

They finally realized how cruel Lu Yanshi was.

Today was his daughter's first birthday party, yet he didn't hesitate at all and poisoned the criminal in front of everyone.

This move was probably to serve as a warning to others, to warn those who wanted to harm his daughter and make them consider their own abilities.

Idiot.

Qi Xingran couldn't help but curse Qi Xingyue in his heart.

Now that the truth has been exposed, why should he be implicated?

But he couldn't show it on his face, he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy for his sister.

"Your Majesty, my sister was confused for a moment. Please forgive her. She will never dare to do it again next time."

"Do you want to do this again next time?" Lu Yanshi laughed in anger.

"Since you love your sister so much, then you should die with her."

Qi Xingran's face changed drastically.

"Your Majesty, I didn't do anything. Why should I die with her?"

This angered Qi Xingyue, who was waiting to die. She shouted with all her strength, "What do you mean you did nothing? If it weren't for your instigation, I wouldn't have poisoned the little princess."

"Nonsense, you are slandering me. I knelt down to save you, and you actually blame me like this. Qi Xingyue, do you have any conscience?" Qi Xingran cursed back without hesitation.

Qi Xingyue was so stimulated by his few short sentences that her blood and energy surged, the poison took effect faster, and she was angered to death.

Lu Yanshi refused to listen to Qi Xingran's explanation. He ordered his men to drag him away and stuffed all the remaining poison that Qi Xingyue had taken into his mouth.

Qi Xingchen was trembling with fear and couldn't even utter a word to beg for mercy.

Fortunately, Lu Yanshi did not implicate an innocent person and saved his life.

There was complete silence.

"Why are you standing there? Go play some music." Lu Yanshi said impatiently.

The stopped musical instrument started again.

Although the excitement was restored, everyone on the field had different thoughts and the initial laughter and joy were completely gone.

"Don't be afraid, Xiaojiu. Father won't let anyone hurt you." Lu Yanshi touched Lu Li's head.

"Yeah!" Lu Li nodded heavily.

She had never really cried before, but at this moment, she didn't know why her eyes felt a little sore, and there was a hint of moisture at the corners of her eyes.

"Interesting." Yang Jiuxiao stared at Lu Li, as if he had discovered something.
