Capítulo 2493: Chapter 2494: The rmaid Tail Is About to Be Exposed
At this mont, Bai Ruozhu felt her heart sinking. This astrologer definitely wasn’t Ning Yu.
“Ruozhu, I’m afraid I’m going to change,” Jiang Yichun said painfully.
Bai Ruozhu quickly looked over. His leg wasn’t very wet, yet it was exactly enough to cause him to transform into a fishtail.
What should she do? There were so many people outside. She could take him to hide, but that would certainly raise suspicion, especially with She Zongyi. If he found out, Jiang Yichun would be the first to suffer.
Jiang Yichun reacted swiftly and suddenly shouted, “Careful!”
Then he pointed to the dicine Barrel nearby and picked up a shuriken from the ground, stabbing it into his arm.
Bai Ruozhu imdiately understood. Jiang Yichun wanted to create the illusion that they were ambushed, and he was poisoned. To detoxify, she put him in the second prince’s dicine Barrel, thus hiding the fishtail!
She quickly pulled him into the dicine Barrel, then added so Hot Spring Water inside, and tossed in so Detoxification dicine.
“Poison , otherwise they won’t believe it!” Jiang Yichun whispered.
Bai Ruozhu gritted her teeth, reached out, and dabbed a bit of Poison on Jiang Yichun’s wound.
By now, people had already rushed in. The first was Jianqi, who asked worriedly, “Master, what’s going on?”
“Soone in the Secret Passage attacked us. Achun got injured and poisoned saving the second prince. Quickly, have Teng Ya prepare the dicine soup,” Bai Ruozhu said as she rapidly listed several dicine nas.
Everyone else believed it. Tang Feng hurriedly covered the flipped-up bed board, saying, “Let’s block this first to prevent more attacks.”
Qiu Zhi asked, “Should we send so people to chase them?”
“No rush. We don’t have enough people. We shouldn’t split up. Who knows what dangers are below?” Bai Ruozhu imdiately declined.
Outside, they heard the Emperor’s voice, “Cilang, how is Cilang?”
Bai Ruozhu quickly signaled to Tang Feng with her eyes and whispered, “Go release his acupoint.”
Tang Feng responded swiftly, went over to help the second prince, and released his acupoint. The second prince slowly opened his eyes, “Where’s the assassin? How did I faint?”
At this mont, the Emperor and She Zongyi rushed in. The Emperor hurriedly supported the second prince, “Cilang, I’m glad you’re okay.”
The second prince still looked bewildered, and Tang Feng quickly explained, “Your Highness, an assassin just ambushed us. You fainted, and Lord Jiang got poisoned by a hidden weapon saving you.”
“Is it deadly poison?” The second prince finally noticed Jiang Yichun soaking in his dicine Barrel.
Bai Ruozhu said with tears in her eyes, “It’s hard to cure.”
The second prince and the Emperor both felt very guilty, each at a loss for words.
Bai Ruozhu didn’t have the heart to deal with them. At this mont, she feared that She Zongyi would notice anything amiss and also worried about that astrologer Yin Yang Master outside, who was the biggest threat.
“Your Majesty, why is there a Secret Passage here?” Tang Feng pointed at the second prince’s bed, lifting it slightly.
The Emperor’s face changed drastically, “This was temporary accommodation. The chamber wasn’t here originally. The bed was moved for Cilang’s treatnt. How could a Secret Passage appear below?”
“Your Majesty, the Tudun Clan has a Secret thod for quickly digging underground tunnels,” She Zongyi suddenly reminded.
“Otani, take people down the Secret Passage and investigate thoroughly. This must not be tolerated!” The Emperor flew into a rage. Just in a few days, a Secret Passage had appeared under his son’s bed.
Bai Ruozhu’s face darkened, “Your Majesty, please move the second prince to another Room. Also, can I not be disturbed while I detoxify my husband?”
The Emperor realized that even during Bai Ruozhu’s detoxification for the second prince, no one could disturb them.
“Let’s all step out, let’s all step out.” The Emperor quickly ordered, then he and Tang Feng helped the second prince out and quickly arranged another Room for him.
Yizi didn’t hurry to leave, “Master, do you need to do anything?”
Bai Ruozhu thought for a mont and said, “Have soone prepare another dicine Barrel in my Room for Achun to use these days.”
“Alright, I’ll go instruct them now.” Yizi hurried out.
Bai Ruozhu let out a big sigh of relief and looked at Jiang Yichun, “Are you okay?”
“It hurts,” Jiang Yichun said gloomily.
Bai Ruozhu stared for a mont, then laughed, “I didn’t expect you to act spoiled.”
“It’s cramped.” Jiang Yichun lowered his voice.
Bai Ruozhu’s lips twitched. His fishtail was very uncomfortable in such a small barrel, unlike the larger wooden barrels Duannian had soaked in before.
“Just bear with it a little longer.” She said, glancing outside, and felt an unspeakable dislike for that astrologer.
Disliking that he wasn’t Ning Yu, making her happy for nothing, and even more, disliking that he caused trouble with Yin Yang Rain, forcing her Achun to take such a drastic action and hurt himself.
Soon Jianqi ca to report back, “Master, the dicine soup is being prepared.”
Bai Ruozhu frowned slightly and said to Jianqi, “Tell the Emperor they should head back for now. I still need to go treat the second prince later.”
“But they want to inspect the Secret Passage,” Jianqi reminded.
Bai Ruozhu felt troubled, “Ask Qiu Zhi and the others to help carry Achun with the dicine Barrel back to my Room.”
“Alright,” Jianqi said.
Soon, Jianqi called Tang Feng and Qiu Zhi over, and the three of them carried Jiang Yichun and the wooden barrel out of the Main Hall, heading towards Bai Ruozhu’s Room.
She Zongyi kept his gaze on Jiang Yichun, secretly asking the system, “Is he really poisoned?”
“You can exchange ten Points for a one-ti poison detection skill,” the system responded.
“Exchange it.”
She Zongyi used the skill on Jiang Yichun, receiving the answer. Indeed, it was a severe poison, one that could kill within half an incense stick’s ti, but his toxin was suppressed, and treatnt was tily.
“It really is poison, but why does sothing feel odd?” She Zongyi looked around, then raised an eyebrow, “I know now, their Yard is missing so people, that girl with the strong Divine Sense isn’t here.”
She Zongyi sneered. Unfortunately, they couldn’t hide it from him.
Soon, She Zongyi took his leave, saying he wouldn’t disturb the second prince’s rest, and since he was just a rchant with nothing to offer, the Emperor quickly agreed.
The astrologer and Otani went down the Secret Passage to investigate. They were very committed, but unfortunately, they entered too late and found no one, only so faint traces.
Otani returned sowhat displeased, saying to the Emperor, “If it weren’t for Lord Bai delaying, we might have caught them. Lord Bai’s actions were rather odd.”
The astrologer suddenly spoke, “That Lord Jiang was poisoned with Severe Poison that could kill within half an incense stick’s ti.”
The Emperor drew a breath, feeling a bit ashad, “No wonder Lady Bai, such a strong woman, cried urgently. This was for our Cilang’s sake.”
