Chapter 501 Assassin
Guo Luoluo had good ideas, but that was someone else's. Lin Mingyan didn't care about the reputation of a virtuous queen.
Of course, she did want to be a good queen and do something practical for the people, but that did not mean owning a jade ruyi used by Empress Zhangsun.
It's not a valuable thing like the imperial seal. This jade ruyi is just of commemorative value and is not very interesting.
She wouldn't be so greedy for such a small thing.
Seeing that Lin Mingyan didn't even move her eyelids, Guo Luoluo couldn't help feeling anxious.
But she still had a flattering smile on her face as she continued, "Fourth sister-in-law, this jade ruyi is as noble as your status, and it is hard to find in the world."
As she spoke, she asked the maid to pass the box forward, her eyes full of anticipation.
Looking at Guo Luoluo's anxious expression, Lin Mingyan became more and more certain that there must be something wrong with the jade ruyi.
But she remained calm, pretending to be moved, and stretched out her hand slightly, as if wanting to take it.
Seeing this, Guo Luoluo was delighted, thinking that Lin Mingyan was finally taking the bait.
However, just as Lin Mingyan's hand was about to touch the jade ruyi, Wu, who had been standing by, suddenly stepped forward and stretched out her hand to stop Lin Mingyan.
Wu's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. She stared at the box and said coldly, "How dare you, Guo Luoluo, plot to murder the Queen!"
As she spoke, she tore off a piece of her sleeve, wrapped her hands and snatched the box.
Only then did Lin Mingyan see clearly that the maid holding the box had a pale face.
The little maidservant was already trembling with fear, and now that the truth was revealed, she immediately collapsed to the ground.
An unpleasant smell came, making people cover their noses.
The maid was so frightened that she lost control of her bladder...
Guo Luoluo's expression changed instantly, and a hint of panic flashed in her eyes.
But he quickly pretended to be calm and said, "Wu, what do you mean?"
"Don't be so slanderous. This jade ruyi is a gift I carefully prepared. How could there be any problem?"
Wu snorted coldly and said, "Guo Luoluo, you still dare to quibble? Your maid is so scared that she's pissed herself!"
If there really was no problem, why would the maid behave like this?
Guo Luoluo tried to argue: "This maid is just timid and was scared by you!"
She pinched her palms and forced herself to calm down. After all, even the imperial physician couldn't identify this secret medicine from the previous dynasty, let alone a woman in the harem.
And there is no problem with this jade ruyi at all. The medicine was smoked on this box.
If the skin comes into contact with the box, the poison will be immediate.
However, the poison will not take effect immediately. It will only cause the body to rot to the internal organs over the next three months.
Yes, no one knows about this poison, don’t be afraid!
Wu saw through Guo Luoluo's pretended calmness and sneered in her heart. This woman is really funny.
I still don’t understand it.
No matter how hard she talks, what matters is who her master believes.
As for the poison, we can tell after testing it!
She stared at Guo Luoluo with a sharp gaze and spoke slowly, "Guo Luoluo, since you said there's no poison, you can take your own things."
As she spoke, Wu picked up the box and slowly approached Guo Luoluo.
Guo Luoluo subconsciously took a step back, a trace of fear flashing across her face.
But he quickly regained his tough demeanor: "Wu, stop slandering me!"
Who is Wu?
She is even crazier than a madman~!
She is familiar with poisoning people.
She suddenly rushed over, grabbed Guo Luoluo's wrist, and pressed the poison-coated box into her hand.
Guo Luoluo cried out in surprise, "Wu, what are you doing?"
Ahhhhhhhhhh~~~~
To die To die!
Poisoned, poisoned!
However, although Guo Luoluo was as nervous as a screaming chicken at this moment, she was not really scared.
After all, since she has the poison, she also has the antidote.
Just get poisoned, don’t be afraid.
Seeing that she really caught the box steadily, Wu frowned.
Guo Luoluo also acted out: "Fourth sister-in-law, my sister came to give me a gift with good intentions, but was slandered by Wu like this. You must help my sister!"
She knew that her conspiracy would not succeed today, but it would be fine if she could vent her anger on Wu and get the jade ruyi back.
Of course Lin Mingyan believed in Wu. She was a natural poison master, and if she said something was poisonous, it was poisonous.
Since Guo Luoluo is not afraid of poison, it means she has something to rely on.
She smiled at Guo Luoluo and gave a look to someone opposite her.
A maid behind Guo Luoluo rushed out, pulled out a dagger from her boots, and rushed towards Lin Mingyan.
"Ah~~~Help~~" Lin Mingyan fell backwards exaggeratedly.
The guards on both sides rushed forward and subdued everyone on Guo Luoluo's side and pinned them to the ground.
Guo Luoluo's box also fell to the ground, and the green jade ruyi inside fell out and broke into three pieces on the ground.
Her mind was confused. Whose maid was that behind her?
It was true that she came here today to poison Lin Mingyan, but that was on the premise of protecting herself.
How could he be so stupid as to arrange a maid to assassinate the queen in public?
Even if this succeeds, won't she be buried with him?
Even in more serious cases, the Guoluo clan and the Anqing Palace could not escape being implicated!
Who wants to harm her? !
Guo Luoluo immediately burst into tears and cried out for justice: "Fourth sister-in-law, that is not my person! It's so unfair!"
Lin Mingyan had already been escorted to a safe place by a group of people. Looking at Guo Luoluo kneeling on the ground, she sneered, "Eighth brother's wife, go to the clan residence and tell these things."
The guards were sent to Lin Mingyan by the Fourth Master with great fanfare. This time, they captured so many assassins, which was considered a great achievement.
No matter what Guo Luoluo said, they would never let her go. This was a stepping stone for their promotion.
Guo Luoluo collapsed on the ground in despair. She was not afraid of the maid who betrayed her master.
After all, it wasn't her who did it, and the people from the clan affairs office will handle it impartially.
But once she was brought into the clan residence, the poison in her body could not be cured.
If the poison cannot be detoxified within seven days, even the gods will be of no use!
Guo Luoluo was forced onto a carriage heading to the clan house. She cried and screamed along the way, but no one paid any attention to her.
When she arrived at the clan house, Guo Luoluo was roughly pushed into a dark and damp cell.
She huddled in the corner, her heart filled with fear and despair.
At this point, she could clearly feel some subtle changes in her body: dizziness and fatigue. She knew these were signs that the poison was beginning to take effect...
