Reborn Lady: Unparalleled Daughter of Concubine

Chapter 299 A Man of Great Wisdom Deliberately Appeared Slow-witted

Jing Yuanchu sounded unexplainably confident, making everyone nervous. He quickly ran his eyes over everyone on the wall as if he had been selecting his booty.

Suddenly, Jing Yuanchu looked at Jing Yuanxiao and murmured, “It’s time.”

“One…” Jing Yuanchu started to count down.

“What are you doing?”

“Two…” Jing Yuanchu wore an evil smile.

“Three!” When Jing Yuanchu finished, Jing Yuanxiao took out a blue-and-white-porcelain bottle directly from his sleeve. The bottle that was as small as a thumb but extremely delicate had an old wooden stopper. It was just an ordinary porcelain bottle, but when Jing Yuanchu saw it, his smile froze.

“Yuanchu, are you looking for this?” Jing Yuanxiao didn’t look native anymore but shrewd. His sharp eyes were very like those of Jing Donghua, reflecting his wisdom. Jing Yuanxiao tilted his head a bit and showed his majesty, which completely oppressed Jing Yuanchu.

Jing Yuanchu said nothing. Qin Yunuan held her head high and took over the porcelain bottle from Jing Yuanxiao. She said with a smile, “The poison exclusive to North Di is colorless and tasteless. It will dissolve once it is added into water, so people will be killed without noticing it. Clever people can even adjust the dosage they put to make the poisoned one die at the time they desire. What is more wonderful is that average physicians and post-mortem examiners are unable to find out the death cause, so only classify it to sudden death. Your Royal Highness, it’s hard for you to get the poison, right? Work so hard for Wanyan Ba as his lackey and just earn one bottle of it.”

“Yuanchu, I’ m sorry that I don’t have the luck to have a taste of your poison.” Jing Yuanxiao chucked the porcelain bottle to Jing Yuanchu who almost missed it because of being in a trance.

“How could be. How could a fathead like you…” Jing Yuanchu always looked down on Jing Yuanxiao. “Ho, I know. They two helped you.” Jing Yuanchu said while pointing at Leng Changxi and Qin Yunuan.

“Your Royal Highness, you don’t know there are people who have great wisdom but appear slow-witted.” Qin Yunuan cast a side glance at Jing Yuanchu who remained arrogant. “You always think yourself smart, so you neglect that your brother started to take precautions long ago. When 200,000 soldiers in black armor besieged the Yellow Flag Army camp, in West Liang, 38 skilled martial artists who disguised themselves as eunuchs in the Crown Prince’s Palace had wiped out all your pawns in the palace. Of course, to do so, we need help from our pawns. Do you still remember the maid who wanted to kill you in the Xihe Palace? She is Imperial Concubine Lian’s close maid. With her help, we got the name list of all your pawns in Imperial Concubine Lian’s palace, including those working in the palace and the military camp and even officials.”

Now, pawns Jing Yuanchu deployed in the palace and the military camp were all exposed. But those officials were the foundation supporting West Xia, so they didn’t uncover them.

“I see.” Jing Yuanchu was so angry after knowing he was swindled. Because he found out he was the most ignorant one. “So, you always pretend to be a fool, just waiting to see my comedown and pointing your index finger at me to laugh at me, right? Fine, you’re all smarter and better than me. But let me tell you. Once I’m killed, Sima Ray will send people from Qi to investigate this at once. You now, wait for your doomsday.”

Jing Yuanchu laughed like a madman. Qin Yunuan shook her head. He really over evaluated his value for Sima Ray.

The yell down the wall sounded like the motivating drumbeat. Jing Yuanchu suddenly removed the bottle stopper unflinchingly and threw it away. He poured the poison into his mouth with some dark purple decoction left on his lip corner. He looked at Qin Yunuan provocatively and said, “You learn leech-craft from Sun Miaoyang, that famous doctor, don’t you? Well, now I took the poison. Can you save me? As long as I die, secrets I know will disappear too, and you will never know how I get in touch with Sima Ray. Even though I can’t take hold of West Xia, I will not allow my incompetent brother to be the emperor.”
