Looking at Murong Xue crawling at her feet with tears and snot, Murong Xiao helped her up.
Standing up, just when Murong Xue had a glimmer of hope in her eyes, thinking that Murong Xiao had forgiven her betrayal and forbidden her to tell on him, she heard him say calmly, "The cup of tea you drank just now was poisoned."
"?"
Just as Murong Xue was momentarily lost in thought, thinking she had misheard, Murong Xiao continued calmly, "Tell His Royal Highness Prince Rui later. To prevent him from finding out that the Emperor didn't value the Crown Prince and didn't want to pursue the assassination attempt, and then going back on his word and standing behind the Crown Prince to help him, I've put a secret medicine in the tea you're drinking today."
"You..." Murong Xue almost didn't want to believe her ears.
Although Murong Xiao's words were very obscure, but... but how did she vaguely hear that she sincerely wanted to protect the prince?
In her and all her sisters' minds, Murong Xiao is the person Murong Qingyu cares about and the woman Murong Qingyun loves. Could she be willing to abandon Murong Qingyun and go against the Murong Mansion for a sickly and dying prince?
Just as Murong Xue was looking at Murong Xiao in surprise, not knowing how to react, Murong Xiao took out a brocade box from his sleeve and handed it to her.
When I opened it, I saw a round and plump pill.
She looked at Murong Xiao in confusion again. Of course, she would not be so foolish as to think that Murong Xiao had poisoned her and was now detoxifying her.
"This is the antidote for the poison Murong Qingyu planted in our bodies. After taking this antidote, you can completely escape from the Zhennan Palace and no longer be threatened by Murong Qingyu."
Murong Xiao's words shocked Murong Xue.
If this antidote was real, it would be what she had always dreamed of. But now, although she had obtained what she had always dreamed of and left the wolf's den, it was snatched away by a tiger. This made her unable to be happy no matter what.
"Why?" Murong Xue asked.
"I thought you understood."
Murong Xue shook her head and said, "I don't understand. Aren't you and Murong Qingyun in love and inseparable? What's the meaning of giving me the antidote and then poisoning me right away?"
"You don't need to worry about what's going on between Murong Qingyun and me. I'm giving you the antidote to give you and Prince Rui a real chance.
We grew up together in a secret room. I'm sure you wouldn't be so naive as to think that Murong Qingyu would really keep killers like you and me after he accomplished what he called a big thing, right?
To tell you the truth, if I weren't proficient in poisons, the poison Murong Qingyu planted for us and the so-called antidote that temporarily suppresses the poison are actually the same thing."
Murong Xue was shocked: "What do you mean?"
"He gave us this medicine when we were very young and made us dependent on it. This medicine will not cause any obvious side effects on our bodies if taken for a long time, especially if there is enough of it.
But once the medication is stopped, the side effects of this drug will appear. I don't need to explain the consequences, you know it well.
We used to take the medicine once a month, but now it has been changed to once every three months. It’s not that he has the antidote, but he has increased the dosage of the medicine, which prolongs the duration of our attack.
Now everyone takes medicine once every three months,
