Even without evidence, she could guess with a high degree of certainty who wanted to harm her. Those who had a grudge against her were none other than Chu Mingzhu and Consort Chu, and most likely their people.
However, business rivals cannot be ruled out, after all, what she has is enough to make others envious.
However, those who can cooperate with the Third Princess are mostly members of the royal family. If Consort Chu hadn't stirred up trouble, it would probably have been the Fifth Prince!
They're impatient and a bit stupid. They just lost one batch and sent two more. They never learn their lesson.
However, Xie Yushu didn't want to indulge him this time. He kept thinking about her, which was too annoying.
Under Zhao Hu's arrangement, the two brothers also came to the mountain gate early the next morning, saying that they were sent by the capital to deliver something to the Third Princess.
The two were successfully brought before the Third Princess.
The third princess looked at the two people with some dissatisfaction.
"Fifth Brother only sent the two of you?"
What can two people do? They want money but aren't willing to put in any effort. There's no such thing as a free lunch.
The two men looked at each other, exchanged a glance, and said...
"The Fifth Prince also had us bring the highly poisonous Intestinal Severing Powder!"
The key to victory is quality, not quantity. The first time we sent more than ten, they were wiped out halfway through.
My brother and I are masters among masters, each capable of taking on ten opponents.
"Just tell us what you want us to do."
The Third Princess looked at the two unreliable guards and asked suspiciously.
"Are you really from Fifth Brother's residence?"
"Yes! Absolutely genuine!"
All the other brothers had gone on missions, and when the news got back, only we were left who were married, so they sent the two of us!
The third princess listened and then believed it with suspicion.
Before evening, the news reached Xie Yushu.
So Xie Yushu instructed Zhao Hu
"Find out who sent them, and have Qiu Shuang and the others figure out a way to remove the thorn!"
If you can't handle it yourself, get some help; don't try to do it blindly.
Zhao Hu responded and withdrew.
The Third Princess felt that these two bodyguards were talking too much. However, people have different personalities, and talking a lot doesn't necessarily mean anything. So she asked them to take out the poison so she could see it. If they weren't sent by the Fifth Brother, they probably wouldn't know about the poison.
When the two men heard that she wanted to see the poison, they simply took out a small packet and handed it to her.
"When they ran out of arsenic, they gave us 'heartbreak powder,' which is even more potent than arsenic."
The third princess looked at the reddish-brown powder in the paper packet and felt an urge to taste it to see if it was real or not.
However, she hadn't lost her mind. Suppressing her doubts, she gave the two of them a task.
This time, she no longer wanted to secretly poison him. In any case, she had already won over Qu Xiaodie, Zhao Hu, and Sun Chongren, so the others were no threat.
He then said to the two of them
"Other things will be taken care of by others. You two just need to stay by my side at all times and protect my safety."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
While the Third Princess was plotting her plan, Xie Yushu secretly had Nanxing call Han Zhongyu and Xuan Yuanche back. The whole process was quiet and did not alert anyone.
At night, the breeze was gentle and the cicadas were chirping. It was a perfect time to enjoy the cool air and admire the moon, but the Third Princess barged into Xie Yushu's courtyard with a large entourage.
Xie Yushu was lying on a rattan chair watching the Milky Way and the Big Dipper, with Aunt Su and Nanxing Chunyu keeping her company.
Seeing so many people rushing in, Nanxing was the first to speak up and reprimand them.
"No one is allowed to enter the princess's courtyard without permission. Who gave you permission to come in?"
What are you trying to do?
The Third Princess, brimming with self-satisfaction, stood before Xie Yushu, looking down at her.
"Xie Yushu, you're just a peasant girl, you should just grow old and die in your mountain village!"
Without glass, biogas fertilizer, electric lights, or your worthless liquor, Daqi is doing just fine. Why do you have to show off your abilities?
You've crossed the line.
It's one thing to cross the line, but you should also keep your eyes open and know who you can mess with and who you can't. If you do, you'll suffer a terrible fate, you know?
But it's okay if you don't know, you'll find out soon!
"Manager Qu, to show your sincerity, you will personally deliver a drink to your former sister!"
Upon hearing this, Nanxing stepped forward, blocking Xie Yushu's path, and said coldly.
What are you trying to do?
Qu Xiaodie, Sun Chongren, Zhao Hu, what do you mean by this?
"You've forgotten who saved you, haven't you!"
Qu Xiaodie stepped forward and slapped Nanxing aside, took a glass of wine from Jinzhu and walked towards Xie Yushu.
Aunt Su and Chunyu stepped forward to stop them, but Zhao Hu's men pulled them away. Chunyu was so angry that she cursed Zhao Hu for being ungrateful and inhuman.
Xie Yushu sat up, looked up at Qu Xiaodie, and asked with a sorrowful expression.
"Qu Xiaodie, is our sisterhood over?"
Qu Xiaodie said without hesitation
"You're right, our sisterhood ends here. Stop dawdling and drink it now!"
Don't force me to force you to drink it!
Xie Yushu's lips twitched
"In the end, I misplaced my trust."
Before he could finish his reflection, Qu Xiaodie grabbed his chin and forced him to drink it down his throat.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Qu Xiaodie, you're trying to choke me to death! Xie Yushu coughed until tears came to her eyes, cursing inwardly.
The Third Princess, seeing this, thought Xie Yushu had been poisoned. A glint of excitement flashed in her eyes. She stepped forward, grabbed Xie Yushu's chin, and said maliciously...
"Xie Yushu, you've finally met your match!"
But don't worry, I won't let you die anytime soon. I'll make you experience all the pain I've gone through, and I'll make you watch helplessly as everything that belongs to you slips away.
