Chapter 1865: Giving the Goose Away
Yuwen Xuhong asked incredulously,” What you gave him just now wasn’t a real pill, but a Detoxification Pill?!”
It was a question, but in fact, it was already certain.
However, after he asked this question, the uneasiness in his heart continued to expand, and he became more and more afraid.
Unexpectedly, Lin Yuelan shook her head and said,” No, Your Highness, you’re wrong. What this princess gave him wasn’t a Detoxification Pill, but…”
At this point, she paused for a moment. Her eyes were sharp with a faint smile. Then, she continued,” A Pseudocide Pill!”
The moment the words “Pseudocide” were uttered, everyone’s expression was filled with shock.
Many of the commoners present had brains. Like the eldest grandson, they had guessed that Lin Yuelan might have given them an antidote pill.
However, no one had guessed that it was actually a ‘Pseudocide Pill’.
The eldest grandson opened his mouth and asked,” A Pseudocide Pill? Why?” What he meant was,’Why did you give him the fake death medicine? This is completely unexpected.’
After that, he seemed to see Lin Yuelan’s eyes shooting at him with a hint of mockery and contempt. Then, he heard her explain in a loud voice,” Since this assassin had blended into the crowd and suddenly attacked Second Brother Hu, it means that he had received someone’s order to silence Second Brother Hu.
“Unfortunately, his assassination attempt was unsuccessful and he was caught by the general on the spot.
“Since this assassin could accept the mission of assassinating Second Brother Hu, it proved that he was not an assassin but a death warrior of some power.
“When Big Brother Nan took out the poison from his teeth, I determined that he was a death warrior.
“Since he was a death warrior, then he might have other poisons on him, or perhaps his master behind the scenes might do something to silence him.
“So, just in case, to trick the mastermind, I deliberately said that I gave him a pill that could make him tell the truth.
“The mastermind behind the scenes was afraid that the assassin would really tell the truth, so he would become even more flustered and would definitely plot to silence him.
“However, in public, we can’t use swords. What’s the only way? I’m sure you know, right?”
Lin Yuelan asked Yuwen Xuhong slowly. She looked at Yuwen Xuhong with a smile that was not a smile. It seemed like she had asked the question unintentionally. To Yuwen Xuhong, it was as if his heart was trembling.
Yuwen Xuhong stiffened his face and smiled,” Princess, what do you mean? How would I know?”
Lin Yuelan didn’t make things difficult for him. She nodded and continued,” Oh, so you don’t know about it, Your Highness. It seemed that the eldest grandson was really innocent. In that case, this princess will not make things difficult for you.”
” Alright, don’t keep us in suspense.” Prince Ping seemed very impatient.” What kind of method is this to kill someone without anyone knowing? What are you muttering to the imperial grandson about? You’re really long-winded.”
Lin Yuelan completely ignored Prince Ping’s clamoring. She continued,” The only way is to poison him. Moreover, it’s the kind of poison that will kill him immediately!”
At this point, her gaze gently swept across Yuwen Xuhong, and she pretended to ask unintentionally,” Your Royal Highness, do you think this princess is right?”
The eldest grandson felt that Lin Yuelan’s words had a hidden meaning. Moreover, it was more like Lin Yuelan knew that the mastermind behind this was the eldest grandson, Yuwen Xuhong.
Yuwen Xuhong narrowed his eyes slightly. His sharp eyes stared intently at Lin Yuelan’s beautiful and young face. He felt that it was unbelievable.
He had never expected that Lin Yuelan, who looked so young, would be such a difficult person to deal with. She had deep thoughts and was full of tricks.
No wonder. Whether it was Noble Consort Zhou’s and Yuwen Feiye’s family, the Ninth Princess and Liu De’s family, or even the fall and closure of the Zhenggguo Duke’s estate, they were all her doing.
He had once suffered a great loss at her hands, but he had learned his lesson. After a long time of planning and planning, he had already thought that this plan had become flawless.
Therefore, he was very confident that he could make Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan lose His Majesty’s favour this time.
And the reason why they fell out of favour was because of deception.
This was because any ruler would be extremely suspicious. They would not tolerate anyone lying to them. Furthermore, Lin Yuelan was hiding the huge wealth behind the emperor.
