My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker! - Chapter 602

Chapter 602: Assassinating the Crown Prince Consort

The royal maid abruptly crumpled to the floor. Although she was covering her orifices with her hands, black-colored blood could still be seen spurting out from her face, and her appearance was extremely horrifying.

Everyone abruptly dropped the chopsticks in their hands with a clatter.

Her Majesty the Queen was so startled that she even stood up from her seat, and the sounds of music and dancing naturally stopped.

Wu Xiaosu had just danced to the intensely passionate climax when she was interrupted all of a sudden. Hence, when the music accompaniment stopped, the girl turned around indignantly.

Qiao Mu glanced back at her coldly before slightly averting her eyes to look at the royal maid that was covering her face while rolling back and forth on the floor, yet she didn’t say anything for quite a while.

The inside of the Brilliant Sun Hall was absolutely silent as everyone stared in horror at that royal maid.

“Crown Prince Consort, w-what did you do!!” Noble Consort Zheng abruptly shrieked.

Deeply terrified that that royal maid might recklessly roll before her and infect her with some kind of filth, Noble Consort Zheng successively retreated backwards.

“Making a fuss about nothing, just like a village woman.” Qiao Mu coldly stated, “This royal maid poured me a cup of poisonous wine just earlier, so I merely bestowed it to her to drink it.”

Everyone simultaneously turned silent.

Thank you! Crown Prince Consort, why were you so generous…

“Poisonous wine!” Her Majesty the Queen’s eyelid jerked abruptly. When she recalled her son’s protective expression before he left, she couldn’t resist massaging her faintly aching temples.

After all, based on her son’s temperament, if his dear wife was met with an assassination attempt in this Brilliant Sun Hall, then he definitely wouldn’t take it lying down!

“Go request Old Royal Physician Cao to make a trip over.”

Watching this royal maid continuously rolling about on the floor, yet not breathing her last, everyone only felt their hearts growing cold.

That royal maid’s face must have rotted away by now. Otherwise, why would a black liquid incessantly spill forth from between her fingers?

What kind of vehement poison could immediately rot away a person’s flesh and cause poisonous fluid to streak all over after a mere splash to the face?

What if the crown prince consort had drunk this cup of poisonous wine just now?

Everyone couldn’t help but shudder.

After quite a long time, Old Royal Physician Cao finally rushed over to the Central Palace after hurrying as fast as he could.

Upon stepping into Brilliant Sun Hall, he saw the poisoned royal maid howling in anguish in the center of the hall. It seemed that she hadn’t stopped breathing all this time. Nevertheless, everyone had scattered far away, not daring to approach that royal maid at all.

Only an aloof little lady dressed in crimson composedly stood next to that hissing and howling royal maid. She would even occasionally step forward to give her a kick. “Don’t scream anymore. The royal physician is here.”

Old Royal Physician Cao gazed speechlessly at that young lady before hurriedly going to pick up the shattered flask and cup that had previously held the fruit wine. After taking a sniff and using medicinal tools to test them, he then concluded with an affirmative nod, “The wine has been poisoned with highly toxic poison. However, pray forgive my senile self’s ignorance for not knowing how this highly toxic was concocted, and therefore being unable to prescribe appropriate treatement.”

Qiao Mu’s lips curled up slightly.

If you could elucidate the method of detoxifying the poison I administered, then you could truly be considered amazing.

When this royal maid was pouring wine for her, she had sniffed out that there was something amiss about its fragrance. Thus, she put on wafting the fragrance from the wine cup as a front to scatter the poison powder in it, which she then smashed onto the royal maid’s face.

Heh, what was this called? This was called ‘harming others will end up harming yourself!’ The royal maid had only administered a slow poison. This kind of poison needed to be taken for around three months at the very minimum, accumulating in the body over a long period of time, before it would suddenly act up and cause sudden death. Its advantage was that it was impossible to detect that the person had died from being poisoned.

She was just a bit curious, what kind of person would use this kind of lukewarm poisoning method to deal with her? Was there still going to be a follow-up move after this!
