"Is there such a magical poisonous insect in the world?" Gongsun Li looked at Hua Yuanzhao with half belief and half doubt. How come he had never heard of such a poisonous insect?
As he spoke, he reached out to take the capsule from Hua Yuanzhao's hand and study it carefully.
Rong Xiu, who was standing next to him, narrowed his eyes slightly, suddenly snatched the capsule from Hua Yuanzhao's hand, stuffed it into Gongsun Li's mouth in the blink of an eye, then lifted his chin and pinched it lightly, then fed the capsule to him.
Gongsun Li was choked and coughed, holding his throat, staring at Rong Xiu with red eyes: "Master Rong...you!"
Before he could finish his words, he saw Rong Xiu eating one himself.
"This poisonous insect will automatically die after seven days without food. You don't have to worry." Hua Yuanzhao said, and took the lead in eating a pill.
Although it is summer, it is annoying to be soaked in cold water. It is better to take a cold capsule to prevent it!
Shihu and Rongxiu saw that their master had eaten it, so naturally there was no need for them to hesitate.
Princess Lin'an tilted her head to look at Rongxiu, then at the calm Hua Yuanzhao. She hesitated for a long while before eating a pill, and did not forget to feed her maid as well.
Gongsun Li looked at Hua Yuanzhao with a gloomy face, and finally managed to suppress the anger in his heart after enduring it again and again.
Never mind. At worst I can just wait seven days before taking action!
Princess Changle hesitated for a long time, but finally reached out and slowly took the capsule that Hua Yuanzhao handed to her.
She couldn't help but feel nervous. Although this could prevent the traitor from causing trouble, it also linked their lives together.
If anyone were injured by the assassin, wouldn't their entire army be wiped out?
Rong Xiu seemed to have anticipated everyone's choice. Not only did he ask people to prepare men's clothes, he also ordered people to prepare fake beards and other things for disguise.
He kept the senior maidservant beside Princess Changle and asked her to go with Jingtian to various prefectures with Princess Changle's token and mobilize troops in the name of "Princess Changle's death."
More than ten good soldiers were selected from the Imperial Army to escort the two men.
As for the remaining imperial troops, they were divided into groups of eight, disguised and entered Xianqin Mansion from various places to confuse people.
Gongsun Li watched the originally huge team disperse under Rong Xiu's arrangement and gradually disappear into the night, with complicated thoughts in his mind.
At this point, he couldn't even tell when this person started planning this.
This night was destined to be restless. Fuling was still frightened, so he simply went out to look for any more Leonurus fruit.
She was walking at the stern of the boat and in the moonlight she could vaguely see someone talking to someone beside the boat. She couldn't help but hold her breath, staring at the person quietly while holding the bag of poison powder.
At first glance, it looked more like the man was talking to himself in the water, but upon closer inspection, something seemed to be wrong.
Suddenly the man turned around and shouted vigilantly: "Who!"
The cumulus clouds dispersed, the moonlight poured down, and Fuling could finally see the man's face clearly.
She heaved a sigh of relief, walked out of the corner where she was hiding, holding the poison powder bag, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Mr. Gongsun! I thought it was a thief!"
Gongsun Li frowned, unsure how much she had heard. He smiled and said calmly, "It's so late, why haven't you rested yet, Miss Fuling?"
Fuling smiled calmly: "I am here to find Yimu fruit, so that the young lady won't feel uncomfortable when she wakes up tomorrow morning."
Gongsun Li studied her expression, trying to determine whether her words were true or false.
No matter how much this maid heard, keeping her would only cause trouble. Why not just order someone to kidnap her? Wait until this poisonous insect dies, and then silence her completely!
"Where is Mr. Gongsun? Why doesn't he go to rest yet?" Fuling asked bravely.
What if this person is a traitor, won’t the lady be at a disadvantage?
Gongsun's heart was slightly moved, and he suddenly put on a lonely look, smiled bitterly and said: "Of course I have doubts in my heart that cannot be resolved, so how can I sleep?"
He sighed, "I thought I had some knowledge of poisonous insects, but I never thought that I only knew a little..."
He looked at Fuling tentatively and continued, "I've only heard that Gu worms are divided into mother and child Gu. If the mother Gu dies, the child Gu will also die. But I've never heard of this... a Gu worm that can make people live and die together..."
After all, this little maid is Hua Yuanzhao's personal maid. Maybe she knows some clues?
If this Gu is fake...
Gongsun Li narrowed his eyes dangerously and quietly clenched his fingers.
The prince’s men have not gone far yet, they can take action at any time!
Fuling tilted her head and said honestly, "Well, I haven't heard the young lady talk about any poisonous insects."
