The G.o.dly doctor was also killed, which shocked Tamu. He felt that his every move was being watched. If the G.o.dly doctor was dead, who could make the antidote for his beloved concubine? Even with the snow lotus, it was useless. The Prince was disheartened for a moment.
“May I ask who left just now?”
Su Qing gave him a suggestion, and the Prince nodded gratefully. He collected his depressed mood and led his men to investigate.
After he left, Su Qing took out the snow lotus and a few other precious herbs, along with the meat lingzhi she had gotten from the Prince, to make the antidote. She deliberately told the palace maids and eunuchs that she wanted to make the antidote for the princess and that she would be cured very soon.
Su Qing placed all the medicine on the table and let everyone watch her make the medicine. The hall was silent, and there was only the sound of Su Qing pounding the medicine. Someone quietly left. Su Qing glanced sideways at the person who had left. It was a palace maid with her head lowered and acting suspiciously. Su Qing did not stop her. How could she attract the killer if she did not let the palace maid go?
Something breaking through the air could be heard in the quiet hall, coming towards Su Qing. Su Qing had already flown into the air when the sound of something breaking through the air was heard. Afraid that the hidden weapon would hurt the princess on the bed, Su Qing pulled down the bed curtain and took away the hidden weapon. She did not stop and flew to the palace door like an arrow, leaving the bow under the frightened gazes of the palace maids. When several masked men in black saw Su Qing come out, they raised their knives and slashed at her.
These a.s.sa.s.sins were vicious, and their moves were fierce. If it were anyone else, they would probably be killed under such fierce attacks.
However, it was not so easy for them to kill Su Qing. Su Qing did not even draw her flexible sword. She only used the bed curtain to fight back. The three killers were already unable to withstand it.
The soft bed curtain was like a dragon in Su Qing’s hand. It flew in the air and changed the wind and clouds, surrounding the three people in the middle. Because Su Qing wanted to find the person behind the scenes, she did not kill them. She only used a bewitching drug to knock the three people unconscious.
“Arrest them.”
Su Qing gave an order to the guards who were holding knives. Her powerful aura made the guards not dare to disobey. They went over and tied up the three of them.
“Throw them into the hall.”
Su Qing ordered them to throw them into the hall. This was the bait. The person behind the scenes was afraid that the killer would expose them and come to s.n.a.t.c.h them away.
Su Qing ordered people to surround the three of them with bed curtains. This had an advantage. Those who wanted to shoot the poison needles could not see the people inside and could not hit them.
These people’s hidden weapons were bizarre. They were made of bamboo and were densely packed with poisonous needles. When used, they would shoot out when they pressed the mechanism behind them.
Such a delicate hidden weapon was similar to the one at the Miao Family Mountain. The poison was also similar. Could it be the remnants of the Miao Family Mountain?
Su Qing was studying hidden weapons when the Prince received the news and rushed back. The first thing he did when he entered the palace was to see the princess consort. After seeing that she was safe, he came to ask Su Qing about the situation.
“Miss, are you alright?”
“I’m fine. I deliberately said that I wanted to make an antidote to save the princess consort, so these people came to a.s.sa.s.sinate me. That palace maid is the traitor.”
Su Qing handed the three killers over to him and pointed at the palace maid who had secretly returned. The palace maid had been paying attention to their status. Her face changed in fear when she saw Su Qing pointing at her.
“Arrest her.”
The Prince ordered the guards to arrest the palace maid. The palace maid saw the matter was exposed and threw a hidden weapon at Su Qing and the Prince. This was a fire bomb that would explode when it hit the body. The fire bomb was filled with poisonous smoke, and no one in the hall could survive.
The bed curtain came in handy once again. Su Qing pulled up the bed curtain surrounding the three a.s.sa.s.sins and rolled up the two fire lightning b.a.l.l.s. These hidden weapons were not bad, so she confiscated them.
The palace maid did not expect that her hidden weapon would not hurt Su Qing. Her expression immediately changed. She did not dare to continue fighting and turned around to run.
Su Qing threw out the bed curtain in her hand and wrapped it around the palace maid before catching her. To prevent her from committing suicide by biting the poison, Su Qing pressed her acupuncture point.
The Prince was stunned by Su Qing’s graceful movements. Fortunately, he did not choose to s.n.a.t.c.h the snow lotus on the snowy mountain. She was so powerful that the cliff could not trap her.
“Take out the poison in her mouth first.”
Su Qing ordered the guard. The guard looked at the Prince. Why did he feel that this woman had turned the tables?
“Do as Young Lady says.”
Tamu ordered the guards to listen to Su Qing. He trusted her very much. If it weren’t for Su Qing, he would have died twice already, so she wouldn’t harm him.
The guard opened the palace maid’s mouth and indeed found poison inside her teeth.
The Prince wanted to ask Su Qing what to do next. He saw she was already sitting on the couch and taking the princess’s pulse!
The Prince did not allow anyone to disturb Su Qing. The True Lord sent her to save him and the princess.
Su Qing focused her attention and calmed her breathing as she took w.a.n.gfei’s pulse. She discovered that the same kind of poison poisoned her and Li’er. It was nice to make an antidote, one for each person, and there was no need to waste a snow lotus and half a meat lingzhi.
She had her eyes set on the meat lingzhi. After treating w.a.n.gfei, she would take this half of the meat lingzhi as payment.
When he saw Su Qing begin to concoct the medicine, the Prince ordered people to wait on him at the side. Su Qing had already chased him away. Prince then remembered that the divine doctor naturally would not let others see him concocting the medicine. Those were all secret recipes!
He led his men outside the palace and interrogated the palace maid and the three a.s.sa.s.sins.
The three a.s.sa.s.sins were drugged and splashed with water, but they did not wake up. After the palace maid had unsealed her acupoints, she gritted her teeth and wanted to commit suicide by biting the poison. However, when she found that the poison was gone, she was so frightened that her expression changed drastically.
“Speak, who is the mastermind?”
The Prince looked at the palace maid with a cold face. He remembered that this palace maid seemed to be the princess consort’s maid.
“No one’s commanding me. I want to kill this woman and s.n.a.t.c.h the snow lotus.”
The palace maid shook her head and insisted that she would a.s.sa.s.sinate Su Qing for the sake of the princess consort.
“Yes.”
Tamu ordered the guards to attack, but she still didn’t tell the truth.
To s.n.a.t.c.h the snow lotus and save the princess consort? Then why did she throw the Fire Lightning?
“Prince, I did it for the princess consort.”
The palace maid was slapped and spat out blood, but she was still stubborn and refused to say who was behind this.
They interrogated her while Su Qing made the antidote. Once the medicine was ready, they made two antidotes in total. The black pills emitted a fragrance. Su Qing walked to the bed and pinched open w.a.n.g Fei’s mouth to put the pills in.
When the Prince saw this, he did not bother interrogating the palace maid. He hurriedly entered the room to guard the princess. He looked very nervous. His hands kept clenching into fists as he stared at the princess.
After Su Qing fed the princess medicine, he asked the Prince for a separate room. She still had to feed Li’er medicine.
The Prince ordered the guards to take her to the side hall. Su Qing chased everyone away and carried Li’er out of the system to feed him medicine. The child’s eyes were tightly shut, and his face was already yellow as if he had contracted icterus, but his lips were shockingly black, just like w.a.n.gfei, poisoned very deeply.
The child was too young. The pill had to be melted in water before it could be fed. What Su Qing used was the water used to soak the meat ganoderma. After the soaked medicinal liquid was fed into the child’s mouth, Su Qing quietly guarded Li’er’s side.. Not long after, she heard his stomach rumbling like a boiling pot!
