A Thousand Faces of Grace

Chapter 17 Be cruel to yourself and cruel to others
"General Xiao, this king would like to ask, why is the concubine whom this king has ordered lying here dying, and why won't the general give this king an explanation?" This person is indeed Lan Junque.

Just as he was talking, a black mouthful of blood suddenly spewed out. Judging by the color, he was already poisoned.

"My lord, how are you?" Yang Jingfeng who had been standing quietly behind him took a step forward and asked eagerly.

"Don't touch him, the king has been poisoned, and anyone who touches him will be poisoned." Henry Zhang shouted anxiously.

"Bold Henry Zhang, actually tried to murder the prince?" Another person behind Lan Junque shouted sharply.

"Lan Min, don't be rude. According to my king, there must be something wrong with this matter..." Lan Junque said intermittently, before he finished speaking, he spat out another mouthful of blood.
"Master, it's the third lady's clothes that are highly poisonous." Hua Qi, the counselor next to Henry Zhang, stepped forward, checked carefully, and said.

"Fortunately, although this poison is overbearing, it is not a rare thing. The subordinate happens to have an antidote on him." Hua Qi said, and took out two red pills from his belt.

"Serve the third lady first..." Henry Zhang ordered.

Hua Qi understood, knowing that the Patriarch sent a pill into Xiao Muli's mouth in order to dispel the king's doubts about the authenticity of the antidote.

"Pfft!" After a while, Xiao Muli spat out a mouthful of black blood, his complexion became much clearer.

Hua Qi checked it and knew that the antidote had worked.

Then he handed the other one to Lan Junque.

"Miss San has been poisoned for some time. If it is an hour later, I am afraid that the gods will be powerless." Hua Qi said with a sigh.

"Hurry up and get a set of clothes and change them for Miss San. Be careful, don't touch the clothes on Miss San." Henry Zhang instructed.

The maid quickly brought the clothes, and quickly changed them for Xiao Muli. From the beginning to the end, Lan Junque did not let Xiao Muli leave his embrace.

After a while, Xiao Muli woke up slowly. Seeing so many people at once, he couldn't help showing a timid expression. After a while, he cried in a hoarse voice: "Please help Muli, please, big sister, don't call me again. Muli! Muli hurts so much, so uncomfortable! Woooo..."

When this statement came out, everyone was shocked!

Everyone knew that Xiao Muli was being bullied in the Xiao family, but because she was forgetful, she did not cause any substantial harm to her, and Xiao Muli never filed a complaint, so the matter did not become a big deal.

But in today's situation, in front of the king and the person who threatened to marry Xiao Muli as the princess, Xiao Muli personally said that someone beat her, this matter may not be resolved.

"Fools don't lie. The matter is very clear. General Xiao, how do you solve this matter?" Lan Junque held Xiao Muli in his arms with one hand, couldn't help calming her panic, and glanced at everyone. expression, finally stopped on Henry Zhang, and said lightly.

Although the tone was light, everyone could feel the anger in the prince's heart. It was an astonishing anger belonging to the prince of the evil god, and no one dared to face his sharpness.

Also, in front of so many people, his future princess was bullied like this, and almost died of poison, which is unbearable for a man.

"Come here, take the eldest lady down, and after the interrogation is clear, hand it over to the king." Henry Zhang ordered with a sullen face.

"Wait!" Everyone was about to go back to the main hall to take Xiao Yusheng down for interrogation, but they saw Xiao Yurui escorting a disheveled woman to the front of the crowd, followed by Xiao Yusheng who looked resentful and wronged.

"Daddy, my daughter has something to say." Xiao Yurui stood still in front of the crowd and said loudly.
