It was visible to the naked eye that Su You's face became rosy and his breathing became even.
Su Lili heaved a sigh of relief and planned to continue casting spells to force all the venom out of his body.
【Okay, it’s almost over! 】
Soon, the rising poisonous fog lingered in the sky.
Before it could resolve the problem, a small stone flew over and shattered it immediately.
[Oh no! Once you inhale this poisonous fog, you will almost die! ]
Just as she was concentrating on the spell, more pebbles flew towards her. While trying to resist, Su Lili couldn't help but inhale a large amount of snake venom in the poisonous mist.
He endured the severe pain and finally dissipated the remaining poisonous fog.
A black shadow suddenly flashed before my eyes. It was unclear, but very familiar.
[It's him? Su Han?! ]
...
...
[Oh, he actually plotted against me. How hateful! ]
A flash of light passed by, and Su Lili's small body fell heavily on the snow, completely losing consciousness.
I don’t know how much time had passed, but Su You slowly woke up. The wound no longer hurt, and his mind was clear again.
Move your feet, twist your arms, and your whole body will feel refreshed. How can there be any sign of poisoning?
When he turned around, he saw Su Lili lying motionless in the snow and thought she was joking with him.
"Princess sister, have you slept enough? Come on, let's go to another pool to soak in the hot springs!"
"Little princess? Little princess? Wake up!"
He pushed it but couldn't move it. Su You couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.
Looking at the pool full of dead poisonous snakes, he finally realized what was happening and broke out in a cold sweat.
"Wow, Princess sister, don't scare me! Wake up, wake up quickly!"
He pushed again, but still couldn't wake her up, so Su You turned Su Lili over with force.
But her face was pale, her lips were purple, and a lot of white foam was oozing from her mouth.
Taking a deep breath, Su You boldly placed his fingers under her nose, his breathing light and thin.
The next moment, a shrill scream went straight to the sky, "Ah, no!"
"Someone come quickly, something's happened to the little princess!"
The screams soon attracted a group of eunuchs and palace maids, who hurriedly carried Su Lili from the snow into the room and placed her on a comfortable couch.
The imperial doctors are all in the palace, and it will take some time for them to arrive. Looking at the pale and fragile little princess, Su You felt extremely regretful.
If I hadn't insisted on taking her to the hot spring, this wouldn't have happened.
I still vaguely remember that I was poisoned by a snake, but now I am fine. Could it be that the venom was transferred to the little princess?
Soon, Emperor Jian'an also hurried over, followed by a large number of concubines, who came to watch the fun.
After seeing Su Lili's miserable condition and listening to Su You's narration, Emperor Jian'an frowned more and more.
"Your Majesty." The chief eunuch Wang Yun said in a controlled tone, "There shouldn't be any poisonous snakes in this hot spring villa. Perhaps someone deliberately brought them here to harm the little princess."
What? Someone actually did this on purpose?!
Emperor Jian'an was furious and waved his hand, "Investigate, thoroughly investigate, to find out who is the real murderer who framed the little princess!"
"Subordinates, I have orders!"
The guards led by Li Yun quickly launched a search in the hot spring villa, leaving no room or corner unsearched.
Time passed bit by bit, and finally the evidence was found and returned.
Li Yun stepped forward, knelt at the feet of Emperor Jian'an, and raised the sachet in his hand high above his head.
"Hey, isn't this my stuff? Lord Li, what do you mean?"
The queen recognized him at a glance and was slightly surprised.
Her intuition told her that there was something wrong with the sachet and that someone had probably tampered with it.
But Li Yun said in a loud voice, "Your Majesty, I found a lot of yellow powder in the sachet, which is what poisonous snakes like to eat."
"The powder is mixed with some poisonous snake eggs. Perhaps this is the origin of those highly venomous little snakes."
Emperor Jian'an nodded lightly, his eyes cutting into the Queen's face like a knife.
"Yuyao, you really disappoint me. How could you be so cruel as to kill her like this!"
"Your Majesty, it is most likely that someone has framed me. I treat the little princess as my own daughter, so how could I harm her?"
The Queen knelt on the ground leisurely, looking calmly into Emperor Jian'an's eyes, neither afraid nor frightened.
A person of integrity has nothing to fear; no one should try to smear her for something she has not done.
"Your Majesty, I am truly innocent, but please do not be gullible and allow the real murderer to continue to go unpunished!"
After living together for more than ten years, Emperor Jian'an knew the Queen's character. Looking at her attitude, he was afraid that she was really being wronged.
But who is the real murderer? Not only did he frame the queen, he also wanted to get rid of the little princess.
The queen has always been a non-aggressor, and the little princess is just a newborn baby, so the identity of her enemy is quite unbelievable.
Emperor Jian'an vaguely thought of someone, but immediately dismissed the idea. Yuxue was still under house arrest in the deep palace, and her family was almost overthrown.
Therefore, she did not dare, and was unable to reach out to the hot spring palace to plan this big drama.
The snow was cold and the queen's back began to shiver.
Considering the years of affection, Emperor Jian'an finally softened his heart.
Before she could call her to get up, she suddenly heard a sharp and piercing voice.
"Empress, you are such a good actor. You clearly attracted the little snake to the hot spring pool. The little palace maid can testify to this!"
Murong Jiao strode over surrounded by her maids.
The way he looked at the Queen was as if he was looking at a huge enemy.
"Princess An Ning, I have nothing to do with you, why do you want to frame me and put me to death?"
"I treat the little princess as my own daughter, so how could I release a poisonous snake to harm her? Moreover, I am most afraid of snakes, so how could I dare to carry snake medicine to attract snakes?"
The queen kept accusing him, her eyes turned red. But just as she finished her words, she heard Murong Jiao's sneer.
"Oh, if there weren't witnesses, I'm afraid everyone would believe you!"
Murong Jiao clapped her hands, and immediately a little palace maid was pushed out. She knelt in front of the emperor with weak legs.
Glancing at the queen guiltily, the little maid said with tears in her eyes, "I am Qianyue, the queen's personal maid, and also her dowry maid."
"A few days ago, the queen said that she wanted to poison the little princess, and asked me to buy snake medicine and snake eggs in case of emergency."
As soon as he finished speaking, a storm once again rose in Emperor Jian'an's eyes, and the empress was instantly struck by lightning.
"You, why are you slandering me? I have treated you well. What benefit did that person promise you?"
"Evil slave, you actually have the nerve to bite me back. It seems that I shouldn't have taken you in at the cost of your life. You are as vicious as a snake, more poisonous than a venomous snake!"
As the queen cursed, tears began to flow.
