Chapter 1419: Vicious Woman
Everyone fell silent at once.
After fifty slaps, how can that face still be worth anything? The key is, even eating becomes a problem.
Xuexue sat quietly to the side, not participating in the women's battle.
Lady Li quietly walked over to her, and said with a sympathetic expression, "Sister, you truly have great luck, being able to escape unscathed from the Princess Consort's hands."
Xuexue frowned slightly. Lady Li coming over to say such words at this time was obviously to sow discord.
Yet, since entering the War Prince's Mansion, the Princess Consort had been against her every step of the way. This time was even more excessive; she had actually resorted to administering poison. If not for that wild cat, she might have already been poisoned to death.
"Don't say such things; it is still uncertain."
"How can it not be certain? In my view, it's eighty percent her. Sister should think about it; the person in the entire War Prince's Mansion who hates you the most is her."
Xuexue showed a pained expression; truth be told, she never offended the Princess Consort, so why was she targeted like this?
Lady Li spoke with a mysterious air, "Actually, the Princess Consort is jealous of your beauty, fearing that you would usurp Prince's affection, so she continually targeted you."
Only then did Xuexue suddenly realize.
So, the enemy she provoked unknowingly was due to her appearance.
This Madam Wang was truly peculiar; with so many beautiful women in the mansion, she chose to harm her alone.
Xuexue figured it out; it must be her identity as the Eldest Legitimate Daughter of the General's Mansion that made her feel threatened.
Lady Li: "The Princess Consort has a poor background, so she is extremely jealous of us women with good backgrounds. Sister, you don't know how many times I've been bullied by her during my days at the War Prince's Mansion."
Speaking of past events, Lady Li felt immense hatred!
She constantly fought with Madam Wang, yet was never her match.
Xuexue had also heard a lot about the struggle between Lady Li and the Princess Consort, but she didn't pay much attention, since it wasn't her concern.
Because they spoke in low voices, no one at the scene heard them.
Otherwise, Madam Wang would have come over long ago; how could the scene be so calm?
At this moment, Long Yi returned with the guards, holding a package in his hand.
Madam Wang's face turned pale upon seeing it. Her legs gave out, and she collapsed onto a chair.
Long Yi approached the Prince: "Prince, this package was searched from the Princess Consort's room."
"Hmm!"
Long Rui took it, stretched out his slender fingers, pinched a little, and sniffed it: "Sure enough, it's poison. The question is, whether it's the same as the poison in Madam Situ's food?"
Long Yi: "Prince, the doctor has been invited over. We can have him identify it on the spot.
"Alright."
Long Rui handed the package of poison back to Long Yi to have the doctor verify it.
Long Yi turned and called to a petite middle-aged man behind him, "Doctor Zhao, come over."
"Yes."
Long Yi handed over what he had to Doctor Zhao for identification, to see if it was the same poison as the one from a few days ago.
This Doctor Zhao had seen Xuexue's food a few days ago, so he knew what poison it was.
He pinched a bit, scrutinized and sniffed, then after a while, lifted his head and addressed Long Rui: "Reporting to Prince, this poison is indeed the same as the poison in Madam Situ's food from a few days ago."
Madam Wang felt that the situation was dire, her face ashen.
Long Rui slammed the table: "Audacious vile woman, daring to openly harm people in the War Prince's Mansion? People! Prepare the Four Treasures of the Study; I want to write a divorce letter."
Upon hearing this, Madam Wang immediately jumped up, hastily crying out, "Prince, you mustn't."
