"The lord asks Lady Li to rest easy, those are all death warriors. As long as they get a chance, they will strike instantly, even if they don’t die, it’s impossible to extract anything from them."
Lady Li finally breathed a sigh of relief, gripping the handkerchief tightly, her eyes filled with danger: "It seems she has such a master by her side, this move won’t work."
"I heard they were hired with a hefty sum." Her confidant beside her answered with head down, who would have thought Princess An Ning would have so many masters by her side?
Lady Li gritted her teeth in hatred, yet she still had to appease Cui Chen, feeling agitated inside.
The news of Ah Chen being attacked on the way back from admiring the flowers spread quickly. Who did it, naturally it is not known now, and each side had their own speculation.
The Emperor in the palace and Lady Li reacted quickly, imdiately arranging for people to inquire, sending rewards one by one to Princess An Ning’s mansion to express their esteem for her.
Cui Jing also heard the news, lightly pressed her lips, Song Chen is really lucky to still be alive from this?
"Brother, did you hear? Song Chen was assassinated today," Cui Chen ran to Cui Zhao’s study, face full of schadenfreude and satisfaction, "must be she offended too many people, but she was lucky the assassins didn’t even touch a hair of hers."
"Just talking about it here is fine," Cui Zhao shook his head gently, sowhat helpless, "be careful of the trouble caused by what you say, no matter what, she is still the Emperor’s most beloved princess. If she wants to trouble you, can you escape?"
Cui Chen was unhappy, originally sharing so good news, didn’t expect it to be unappreciated.
He sat on the side, full of discontent: "Just because she is a princess, if not, who knows how she might have died, maybe would implicate our Cui Family. Fortunately, she is a princess, not a mber of the Cui Family."
Cui Zhao paused, he agreed with these words, with Song Chen’s nature, she is indeed prone to causing trouble. The princess status can make her safe and sound without implicating anyone, if it was just a Cui Family lady identity, it would be unsure. He thought carefully, if Jing’er was a princess, Song Chen a Cui Family lady, she certainly would not be satisfied, maybe sothing would happen.
"Anyway, these words cannot be said outside." warned Cui Zhao, knowing his younger brother’s straightforward nature gave him quite a headache.
Cui Chen gave a response: "Don’t worry, I’m not an idiot, won’t say it outside, after all she is a princess, our family cannot afford to provoke."
About the assassination of Princess An Ning, Cui Yu had so speculations in mind, but no one dare to say anything this ti.
Late at night.
The Ning Family said: "I don’t know who wants to assassinate Chenchen, heard the road when Chenchen returned was not peaceful, last ti eastern forces were involved, Sir, could it be this ti?"
"Perhaps." said Cui Yu.
Thinking inside, this matter should be from Lady Li, it seems she really cannot tolerate Song Chen anymore, it’s self-destructive on the other side. Being a good princess, not bullying Princess Changning could have led to a stable life, insisting like this, even the Daluo Golden Immortal couldn’t save her.
The Ning Family sighed, seeing Cui Yu didn’t want to discuss more, sounded tired, so stopped talking, closed eyes thinking various things, only slept very late, leading to having no energy during the dayti.
After the assassination incident, life cald down for quite so ti.
Until this day, Ah Chen discovered rare poison on items sent from Lady Li’s side, it was chronic poison, hard for ordinary people to detect, even doctors might not find it.
Then she checked carefully, so items sent from the Emperor’s side also had poison.
She laughed, they really cannot tolerate her now.
If no obvious fault is found, they could only work in the shadows.
"Does Cui Jing have these items there?" Ah Chen asked, "Go find out."
Soon, Ah Chen got the news, Cui Jing had so, but not as many as hers, and so rare objects that Cui Jing didn’t have.
"Exchange all the ones that are over there."
"The poison they applied, let them solve it, certainly they won’t let their own daughter die."
Ah Chen stared at a gemstone bracelet in the tray, reached out to hold it, and put it on her wrist.
Lu Zhu urged: "Your Majesty, this bracelet is poisonous."
"I am immune to all poisons." Ah Chen said, "Don’t worry, when Canglan Country was first founded, encountered a lot of sches, had any of these really worked on , I’d already be dead."
"I want to wear the bracelet gifted by my mother consort, be with her every day."
"Hold her hand, and develop so mother-daughter affection."
Although Lu Zhu was worried, she knew her Majesty was not one to boast, if Her Majesty says she’s immune to all poisons, then she is indeed immune.
The next day, Ah Chen went to the palace to accompany Lady Li for a al, then clung on, insisting on holding Lady Li’s arm to stroll through the Imperial Garden.
Only when it was almost ti to return did she raise her sleeve to reveal that beautiful gemstone bracelet: "I forgot to tell Mother Consort, this bracelet is sothing I like very much."
Lady Li was stunned as a whole, today Cui Chen had been wearing this bracelet all along?
Ah Chen seed to not notice Lady Li’s reaction, and left without saying much to her.
Once she left, Lady Li hastily called the Imperial Physician to treat her.
The next day, Ah Chen went to the palace again, this ti to see Song Chong, wearing clothes made from fabric soaked with poison.
Song Chong only arranged for soone to tamper with a little, yet didn’t recognize what she was wearing.
Not until it was ti to leave did Ah Chen say: "The satin Father Emperor gifted to , I really like it, today I’ve been wandering around in front of Father Emperor all day, yet Father Emperor didn’t notice anything?"
Song Chong then rembered arranging for soone to do so tampering, to slowly ruin Cui Chen’s body, imdiately startled.
Today Cui Chen had indeed been lingering around him the whole ti, could he have gotten so poison on himself too? Fortunately, it wasn’t a potent poison, it was a chronic one, tissues would only deteriorate after a certain period, just one day of contact shouldn’t pose a big problem.
But if she cos to the palace frequently, wouldn’t he be in danger?
Song Chong’s expression was unpleasant, since when did killing soone beco so difficult for him? Even poisoning doesn’t work.
After Ah Chen left, like Lady Li, he quickly called the Imperial Physician to examine him.
Ah Chen had worn the items on her body, they didn’t suspect anything, just felt that doing so might affect themselves too. Fortunately, the poison was chronic and temporarily did not affect their health.
But they couldn’t let themselves be affected, so they found an opportunity to destroy those things, temporarily not sending any more poisoned items to Ah Chen.
Their behavior truly amused Ah Chen.
But this matter couldn’t just end like this, they provided so ideas for Ah Chen to slightly adjust her plan.
Continuing like this wasn’t her goal.
Might as well cook them so mushroom soup, she was always good at that.
997, who captured this idea, thought of soone, that Prince Ning.
