My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker! Chapter 603 - Placating

Chapter 603: Placating

The person was rather patient, showing that he or she was a person who was capable of doing great things. She would like to see whether that person would continue to administer this kind of slow poison on her after this.

Qiao Mu tilted her head, and then turned towards Her Majesty the Queen with a foul expression. “How is it? It’s confirmed that she wanted to harm me, right.”

The queen nodded. “Crown Prince Consort, how do you want to punish this person.”

“Kill her.” Qiao Mu’s small mouth opened and spat out these two words without any reservation.

The group of well-bred young ladies looked at her apprehensively. After this brief contact with her, they seemed to have perceived eight words describing the crown prince consort: cruel and vicious methods, not to be provoked!

The Va.s.sal King Consort of An’nan smiled and said, “The crown prince consort truly is amazing, only needed to take a whiff of the fruit wine’s fragrance to know that the royal maid had poisoned it. Could it be that the crown prince consort is also well-learned in the use of poison?”

Qiao Mu cast her an innocent glance. “That is not the case.”

“Oh? What is the meaning of this statement?” The Va.s.sal King Consort of An’nan asked with a smile, “If the crown prince consort happened to guess correctly by a stroke of luck, then this luck is indeed too good.”

“This person’s behavior was sneaky, and her hands continuously trembled when pouring the wine. I splashed her with the wine to only sound her out and didn’t imagine that it really had been poisoned. However, I wonder if other people’s wine cups have also been poisoned?”

Everyone glanced in alarm at the royal maids beside them that were in charge of pouring the wine. Some, being even more excessive, had already cupped their throats and turned around to cough as if their lives depended on it, just as if they wanted to vomit out the wine that they drank just now…

“Royal Physician Cao, please examine the other madams and misses’ wine and drinks.” How could the queen not comprehend the reason for the horror in these people’s eyes?

The old royal physician nodded and stepped forward to examine each and every cup before shaking his head and saying, “The other cups all don’t contain poison.”

The queen nodded. Nevertheless, at the same time that she exhaled a sigh of relief, the graveness in her eyes deepened. This meant that this incident with the poisonous wine was clearly aimed at the crown prince consort.

The fact that this kind of incident happened in her Brilliant Sun Hall, wasn’t this deliberately causing friction between her and her son and purposely making her feel vexed inside?

“Crown Prince Consort, this queen will definitely do you justice and give you an explanation for this incident.” The queen said softly.

Qiao Mu merely nodded without much of an expression.

She wasn’t counting on the queen to be able to investigate anything useful anyways. In any case, using poison against her was like giving her a tickle. She just had to do what was necessary in response to whatever those people dished out.

At this time, the royal maid that was rolling about the floor had already gradually quieted in a slow death.

Old Royal Physician Cao promptly went up to examine her. “Lest she mutate, it’s better to cremate her before the night is out.”

The queen nodded repeatedly and quickly instructed the royal guard beside her to handle this matter.

As an originally good and proper small banquet ended in such a b.l.o.o.d.y manner, the queen felt her enthusiasm waning at once.

After properly placating the crown prince consort, she also bestowed her with a lot of gifts, treating it as a way to repair their relations.h.i.+p.

Furthermore, the queen was slightly worried in her heart that this crown prince consort might narrow-mindedly believe that this death by poisoning incident was something she had a hand in. However, as she couldn’t discern any expression at all from that poker-faced stoic face, she was unable to figure out the girl’s true inner thoughts.

The queen was greatly depressed. Her feelings would take a steep plunge when she looked at this completely stoic-faced daughter-in-law.

Look at how many daughters-in-law Consort Cheng had. Which of them weren’t attentive and gentle towards their mother-in-law? On the other hand, her own daughter-in-law didn’t have much of an expression no matter how you looked at her, which was a bit aggravating.

The small banquet ended abruptly. Before n.o.ble Consort Zheng was supported out by her servants, she cast a chilly gaze at Qiao Mu out of the corner of her eyes. Then, she lissomely treaded out of Brilliant Sun Hall’s main entrance in her pair of embroidered shoes.
