Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife-Chapter 312: They Want to Assassinate the Emperor!

Chapter 312: Chapter 312: They Want to Assassinate the Emperor!

Long Yue returned home and the first thing she did was give the Baicao Pill to Li Qingmu.

"This is the Baicao Pill specially crafted by Master, it can counteract all poisons, especially potent against rare toxins."

Li Qingmu’s first reaction was the same as Long Yue’s, they both thought of the Nanyang Shixin Fruit, "In that case, we won’t have to worry about that poisonous tree. By the way, how is it taken?"

"Take it beforehand, one pill can keep you immune from all poisons for twelve hours, or you can take it after, but you’ll need two pills."

"This is a treasure medicine!"

This medicine that can prevent poison in advance is truly a wonderful thing.

"Will there be any unusual effects from taking it beforehand?"

This question refers to potential side effects.

Long Yue shook her head, "No, Master says this is a detox pill, our bodies accumulate some toxins from the food we eat, this can help rid them."

"Then... should I take one first?"

Long Yue’s face instantly turned cold, "Li Qingmu, do you not trust my Master?"

"Why would I?"

Li Qingmu hurriedly returned the box to Long Yue, raising both his hands to show he had no doubts at all.

Long Yue snorted, turning to go into her own courtyard.

"Dear, you must have something more important to talk about, right?"

Long Yue liked to leave the important things to say last, Li Qingmu had long become familiar with her way, but this time, Long Yue replied coldly, "No!"

Well then, the little wife was upset, Li Qingmu felt quite sad.

He continued to lie back on the sickbed, covering his forehead with a cloth, looking very frail.

Seeing him like this, Long Yue felt an impulse to hit him.

Just then, Qi Jingyu came over, Long Yue directly ignored someone’s arrogance, and walked forward, "Young Prince, there is an important matter to discuss with you!"

"What is it?"

"Do you remember Xue Mingzhu? The Lady of the Southern Country!"

"Of course, a dissolute woman, hmph, what’s wrong with her?"

Qi Jingyu looked disdainful, having always disliked such unfaithful, reckless women.

Long Yue: "Her face, perhaps it’s not her own, she might not even be Xue Mingzhu!"

"What?" Qi Jingyu widened his eyes in shock, rubbed his ears to make sure he heard correctly, "You said her face isn’t hers? Is it a human skin mask?"

"Human skin masks don’t bleed, I just came from Master’s place, saw her trying to seduce the old master again, I gave her a slap, and then... her forehead started bleeding, even tore further..."

Long Yue recounted the situation at that time, Qi Jingyu was dumbfounded.

This was simply unbelievable!

"The skin of the living dead?" Shi Qin suddenly appeared from somewhere, also wearing a look of horror, though she seemed a bit calmer and more composed.

"Mr. Duanmu is knowledgeable in astronomy and geography, and familiar with the five elements. If he identified it as the skin of the living dead, there must be no mistake! As for this living dead skin, I’ve heard something about it, it’s skinned alive from a living person."

Shi Qin had only spoken a little, and Long Yue’s back began to twitch, scalp tingling.

That Xue Mingzhu turns out to be such a vicious person, using living human skin for her face? Skinning... how painful could that be?

The Lady of the Southern Country is truly ruthless!

"Hiss—" Long Yue took a breath of cold air, she had repeatedly humiliated her, which is an insane test on the path to self-destruction!

But Long Yue caught another key point: "Miss Shi Qin, you said Master is knowledgeable in astronomy and geography, adept in the five elements?"

Shi Qin was startled, then quickly shook her head, "I was just speaking casually, because I feel Mr. Duanmu knows a lot, I truly admire him."

The crowd was there praising Duanmu Nan, Li Qingmu’s gaze deepened, a hint of darkness gathered in his eyes but soon dispersed.

No matter what, Mr. Duanmu has saved my life, as long as he doesn’t harm us, I wouldn’t investigate his background further.

It’s also a matter of principle!

Suddenly, Li Qingmu thought of something and looked up, "For someone whose skin is completely destroyed, it must be due to a significant upheaval. Why not investigate who recently went through such changes?"

Investigating such matters can be easy or difficult, depending on how one chooses to go about it.

Li Qingmu himself had undergone hardship, the piercing pain of being cut to the bone is unforgettable even now, so he can deduce that with careful investigation of Xue Mingzhu, some traces will certainly be found.

Shi Qin was surprised and delighted, looking at Li Qingmu, "Mr. Li is correct, I’ll start the investigation right away!"

Shi Qin agreed, and in a blink of an eye, she rushed out.

Long Yue remained immersed in her previous evaluation of Master, she felt Shi Qin had hidden something, but since she said it like that, it’s not appropriate to further press.

Shi Qin moved quickly, merely half an hour later, she returned with significant news.

"Thirty years ago, the Princess of Chen Country was completely corroded by a terrifying poison, rendering her unrecognizable, with her skin almost rotten, unbearably tragic!"

"Princess of Chen?"

Long Yue and Li Qingmu exchanged glances, and saw the shock in each other’s eyes.

"How old was the Princess of Chen at that time?"

"Exactly ten years old!"

"About the same age as Xue Mingzhu... this is bad!" Li Qingmu suddenly sat up, looking extremely tense, "Those people are planning to assassinate the Emperor!"

Long Yue looked at him, this man really was clever, deducing the others’ plans from just these scattered clues.

Qi Jingyu’s expression changed drastically as well, upon further contemplation, it really seemed to be the case!

Thirty years ago, Chen Country was obliterated, and the initiator of this war was none other than the current Emperor Qi Yun.

He had just ascended to the throne not long before, the political situation was not very obedient, neighboring countries saw a young emperor rising and thought they could bully, thus they eyed covetously, plunging Dazhou into internal and external troubles.

Coincidentally, the drunken king of Chen Country laughed at Qi Yun as a naive child, hairless mouth, inefficient conduct, would eventually ruin the Dazhou Dynasty, Qi Yun was angered and seized the opportunity to strike, scaring those small-minded people!

In that war, Chen Country was wiped out, their Imperial Family was slaughtered cleanly, and the most beautiful Princess Bingqin was ravaged by a bottle of poison during her escape, her state miserable beyond imagination, they searched afterwards but couldn’t find the Princess.

If not mistaken, Xue Mingzhu is very likely that Princess Bingqin!

Shi Qin, however, found it improbable, "How will they assassinate? The Imperial Palace is heavily guarded, there are the Imperial Army, and expert protectors by the Emperor’s side, who can kill him?"

"Better to be safe than sorry, let’s stake out more during this period, just in case."

"Okay!"
