"What poisoning?" Zheng Qiaoshu was overjoyed and quickly went forward to check on the old princess's condition.
Seeing the old princess, whose eyes were closed and whose complexion was not good, I breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems my medicine really worked.
However, remembering what Butler Liu had just said about feeding her the Hundred Poison Pill, Zheng Qiaoshu quickly pointed to Xiu Hong beside her and said...
"You idiot, you think you can just believe whatever people say? Who knows if it's poison or an antidote? Hurry up and take the medicine out!" Zheng Qiaoshu said, reaching into the old princess's mouth to pry the medicine out.
If this old hag really takes the antidote and is fine, wouldn't all my efforts have been in vain?
Thinking of this, Zheng Qiaoshu moved even faster.
"Miss, what are you doing?" Xiuhong quickly stopped Zheng Qiaoshu's actions, feeling a little strange.
"Who knows if my aunt's condition was caused by Steward Liu? It's hard to say whether he just fed her poison or the antidote," Zheng Qiaoshu said, pointing her finger at Liu Ming's nose.
Liu Ming felt a lump in his throat, unable to move forward or backward.
He had been in the Prince An's mansion for many years, and no master had ever suspected him in this way.
Poisoning the old princess?
How could he possibly do something so vicious?
“You silly girl, Steward Liu is an old servant of the Prince An’s mansion. How could he possibly do something like murdering his master?” Li Tianyou thought that this cousin was really outrageous.
Butler Liu was clearly saving the old princess, but she insisted that Butler Liu was the one who harmed the old princess.
“Miss, that’s the Divine Physician’s unique Hundred Poisons Pill, it’s not poison,” Xiuhong quickly said.
"So, you're all in cahoots, aren't you? If anything happens to my aunt today, it'll be your fault." Zheng Qiaoshu was very anxious upon hearing this.
However, no matter how she tried, she couldn't open the old princess's mouth; instead, she pried open the corner of the old princess's mouth and broke it.
"You crazy woman, what are you doing?" Liu Ming could no longer bear it and grabbed Zheng Qiaoshu, pulling her back.
Remembering what Xiu Hong had just said—that the old princess only ate the pastries Zheng Qiao Shu had sent—and combining this with his current actions, Liu Ming looked at Zheng Qiao Shu with a sinister gaze.
Could it be that the old princess was poisoned by her?
"Did you poison the old princess?" Liu Ming asked Zheng Qiaoshu.
Upon hearing this, Xiuhong looked at Zheng Qiaoshu in disbelief.
"Stop slandering me! You were the one who put poison in my aunt's mouth just now!" Zheng Qiaoshu was initially flustered, but then she pointed at Liu Ming with a righteous expression and said.
She was determined to throw this mud at Liu Ming today.
“Today, when Steward Liu entered the old princess’s room, he was with me,” Li Tianyou said, frowning.
"Hmph, you two are the murderers who harmed my aunt!" Zheng Qiaoshu accused the two of them.
"And you too!" Zheng Qiaoshu pointed to Xiuhong beside her and said, "You're one of their accomplices too. I saw it all just now. You were the ones poisoning my aunt's mouth. When my cousin comes back, he definitely won't let you off the hook." Zheng Qiaoshu was smug.
Now that the old lady is seriously ill, my cousin can't possibly still be living a carefree life in Li'an County, can he?
However, she glanced around the room with some disappointment, wondering why she couldn't find Granny Luo.
With Granny Luo gone, how can I get the warrant for the storeroom?
“Miss, I did nothing. Besides, Steward Liu and Lord Li were only trying to save the old princess.” Xiu Hong’s expression was not good at this moment.
How come the young lady, who is usually very reasonable in front of the old princess, can so easily slander people?
"Hmph, of course you won't admit it. Wait until my cousin comes back, and see how he punishes you! Guards, quickly arrest these murderers who plotted against my aunt!" As soon as Zheng Qiaoshu finished speaking, the guards outside the mansion looked at the people inside the room with some confusion.
How could they possibly harm the old princess?
