Chapter 411: Kill Him Personally!

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

It was Li Yuxing.

He rushed with agitation.

Miss Gu, is it true that Qier is poisoned? Even the imperial physicians in the palace didnt detect it. How did you find out? Are you accusing Qier of being poisoned on purpose?

The two guards, relieved by Tang s.h.i.+juns rescue, momentarily let their guard down, allowing him to enter.

Seeing this, the guards expressions turned cold, ready to remove him.

Tang s.h.i.+jun signaled the guards not to throw him out just yet.

Nonsense! If it werent for Qingluan, my elder sister would have already died! Dont try to blame Qingluan. Why are you so agitated? Could it be that my elder sister being poisoned has something to do with you?

Patriarch Tang and Madam Tang stared at Li Yuxing with icy glares, scrutinizing him.

How could that be! Li Yuxing quickly denied, looking indignant at the false accusation. Sister, 1 know you dont like me! But how could you accuse me like this? Qier and 1 share a deep bond. Everyone has witnessed our relations.h.i.+p over the years. Why would 1 harm her? The reason I suspected Miss Gu is that so many imperial physicians failed to detect it, and 1 found it strange. If theres a problem, shouldnt it be raised?

His words were logical and showed no signs of deception.

The Tang family members, recalling Li Yuxings previous conduct, dispelled their suspicions about him.

Indeed, over the past three years, Li Yuxing had conducted himself admirably.

Moreover, he had no apparent motive to harm Tang s.h.i.+qi.

However, standing not far away, Gu Qingluan held a contrary view compared to everyone else.

Her nose was exceptionally sensitive.

As Li Yuxing approached, she detected a faint, pungent odor.

It was the smell of wild chilies!

Wild chilies were a type of weed even spicier than regular chili peppers.

But this kind of weed was usually avoided by people, and Li Yuxing, a scholar in the Imperial Academy, shouldnt have had any reason to come into contact with it.

Gu Qingluan observed the moisture in his eyes and formed a suspicion.

Initially, she hadnt doubted this man, but now she found him highly suspicious.

However, Gu Qingluan chose not to voice her suspicions. Without evidence to prove that Li Yuxing was responsible for the poison in Tang s.h.i.+qi, voicing her doubts could potentially alert the wrongdoer.

She calmly replied, Scholar Li need not compare me to those imperial physicians. After all, they couldnt even save Miss Tang, so failing to detect her poisoning is understandable.

Li Yuxing looked somewhat embarra.s.sed and said, Miss Gu is right. 1 was too agitated earlier, which offended Miss Gu. 1 hope you can forgive me. I genuinely didnt expect Qier to be poisoned. She is my legal wife and the lady of this Li Mansion. 1 dont even have a concubine or a servant girl in the house. Who would harm such a weak woman?

Yes, 1 heard that Miss Tang is gentle and kind-hearted, always getting along well with others. How could someone poison her? Gu Qingluan gazed at him, her words laden with meaning. If its not due to a grudge, could it be that she discovered something, and someone wanted to eliminate her as a witness?

Li Yuxings expression changed slightly for a moment, but he quickly suppressed it, revealing a hint of anger on his delicate face. Who could be so ruthless!?

Although his reaction was swift, that momentary anomaly didnt escape Gu Qingluans notice.

The three members of the Tang family were both shocked and furious upon hearing the conversation between the two.

They never expected Tang s.h.i.+qi to suffer such a fate.

Tang s.h.i.+jun clenched his fist in anger. If 1 catch the person who harmed my elder sister, 1 will personally take their life!

Curses upon them! Such a heartless poisoner must not be spared! Tangs wife added hoa.r.s.ely..
