Chapter 487: House Fight Turns into Thriller 26
Liu Ruyan suddenly realized what was going on. She said, "I see. So how is my sister going to use this to deal with her?"
Liu Hui said: "Sister, do you know the poison of 'Red Beauty and Withered Bones'?"
Liu Ruyan was shocked when she heard this. She said, "Of course I know. The poison of 'Red Beauty and Withered Bones' is very powerful. Just a little bit of it will ruin a person's appearance or even kill him."
Liu Hui nodded and said, "That's right. I plan to use this 'Red Beauty Withered Bones' poison to deal with Princess Jing'an. As long as she is infected with this poison, her appearance and status will be ruined in an instant."
Liu Ruyan couldn't help but hesitate when she heard this. She said, "But this 'Red Beauty Withered Bones' poison is so strong. If it backfires, won't we also be in trouble?"
Liu Hui said, "Don't worry, sister. I know what I am doing. Although the poison of 'Red Beauty and Withered Bones' is powerful, it will not harm life as long as the dosage is appropriate. We only need to let Princess Jing'an get a little bit of it, and her appearance will be completely destroyed, so that she will lose the Queen's favor and power in the palace."
Liu Ruyan was moved when she heard this. She asked, "So how do you plan to implement this plan?"
Liu Hui said: "I plan to apply this 'Red Beauty Withered Bones' poison on an exquisite hairpin. Then, we will find a way to give this hairpin to Princess Jing'an. As long as she wears this hairpin, she will be infected with the poison."
Liu Ruyan couldn't help but feel a little worried when she heard this. She said, "But how can this hairpin be delivered to Princess Jing'an? She is a very vigilant person."
Liu Hui said, "Don't worry, sister. I have a way. I heard that Princess Jing'an likes to collect all kinds of exquisite hairpins. We can pretend to be her maid and give this hairpin to her. As long as she wears this hairpin, she will be infected with the poison."
Liu Ruyan felt a little uneasy when she heard this. She said, "But this is a vicious plan after all. If it is exposed, we will lose our heads."
Liu Hui said, "Don't worry, sister. As long as we do it cleanly, we won't leave any traces. Then, even if Princess Jing'an wants to track her down, she won't be able to find any clues."
Liu Ruyan was a little shaken when she heard this. She said, "Well... well, then. We will follow my sister's plan."
So, the two began to prepare. They carefully selected an exquisite hairpin and smeared the poison of "Red Beauty and Withered Bones" on it. Then, they found a reliable palace maid and asked her to give the hairpin to Princess Jing'an.
When the maid gave the hairpin to Princess Jing'an, she deliberately said that it was a rare item they brought from outside the palace and was specially presented to the princess. Princess Jing'an was delighted to see the exquisite hairpin. She put it on her head immediately, looked at herself in the mirror, and nodded with satisfaction.
However, she didn't know that the hairpin was coated with a deadly poison. From the moment she put it on, her fate was sealed.
A few days later, Princess Jing'an began to have some red spots on her face. She didn't take it seriously at first, thinking it was just a common allergy. However, as time went by, the spots became more and more numerous and itchy. She had to ask the imperial physician to treat her.
A few days later, some red spots began to appear on Princess Jing'an's face. She didn't take it seriously at first, thinking it was just a common allergy, and casually asked the maid to get some anti-itching ointment to apply. However, the red spots seemed to have a life, raging on her cheeks and gradually spreading to her neck. Every night when it was quiet, the red spots would itch like a burning fire, making it difficult for Princess Jing'an to fall asleep.
One day, Princess Jing'an sat in front of a bronze mirror, frowning and looking solemn. She looked at the face in the mirror that was once as beautiful as a flower, but now covered with red spots. She couldn't help but feel a strong sense of fear and anger. She slapped the bronze mirror fiercely, and the image in the mirror trembled, as if telling her unwillingness and helplessness.
"What is going on? Why did my face become like this?" Princess Jing'an asked angrily, with a slight tremor in her voice.
The palace maids were all trembling with fear when they heard this, and dared not speak. They knew Princess Jing'an's temper very well, and were afraid that if they accidentally angered her, they would be killed.
At this time, a brave palace maid stepped forward and said cautiously: "Your Highness, perhaps you have been overworked recently, causing the qi and blood to be out of balance, which is why you have these red spots. You might as well rest for a few more days and ask the imperial physician to take a look, and maybe you will get better."
Princess Jing'an felt a little relieved when she heard this, but then she thought again, "I usually live a life of luxury, so how could I ever be overworked? There must be something strange about this red spot."
So she ordered the palace maid to quickly invite the imperial physician to come and treat her. After a while, the imperial physician hurried over, knelt in front of Princess Jing'an, and carefully felt her pulse and diagnosed her.
The imperial physician frowned, looking solemn, as if he had encountered some difficult problem. He pondered for a moment, and finally said, "Your Highness, your illness is very strange. In my humble opinion, the red spots are not caused by the disharmony of qi and blood, but by some strange poison."
"A strange poison?" Princess Jing'an was shocked when she heard this, and her face turned pale as paper in an instant.
The imperial physician nodded and continued, "This poison is called 'Red Beauty and Withered Bones' and is extremely powerful. Just a little bit of it will ruin a person's appearance or even kill them. I would like to ask Your Highness, have you come into contact with anything suspicious recently?"
Princess Jing'an couldn't help but think of the exquisite hairpin when she heard this. She thought for a moment and finally said, "I did get an exquisite hairpin recently, which is from outside the palace. I saw that it was novel, so I put it on my head. Could it be that the poison was contaminated from the hairpin?"
The imperial physician understood what he said. He said, "Your Highness is right. The poison of 'Red Beauty and Withered Bones' is colorless and tasteless, and is very easy to get infected. I think the hairpin must have been coated with the poison, and Your Highness was poisoned when she put it on."
Princess Jing'an felt dizzy when she heard this and almost fainted. She held on and asked angrily, "Is there any antidote for this poison?"
The imperial physician shook his head and said, "There is no antidote for this poison. I can only prescribe some medicine for Your Highness the Princess to temporarily relieve the symptoms. But if you want to cure it completely, I'm afraid..."
The words of the imperial physician were like a sharp blade, piercing Princess Jing'an's heart. She felt a black screen before her eyes, and almost fainted. But she still held on and said, "I am a princess, how can I be trapped by this little poison? Go and find an antidote for me quickly, and I will reward you handsomely."
