Chapter 491: Worst Case

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Princess Ning Xin was originally glaring at Li Xiaoran angrily, but when she heard Li Xiaoran’s words, her expression immediately changed.

At this moment, Princess Ning Xin was very shocked. All these years, no one had ever seen through her.

But the woman in front of her, whom she looked down on, bruised her fragile ego so easily.

After saying this, Li Xiaoran ignored Princess Ning Xin and came to the Eldest

Princess’s side. Then, she poured herself a glass of water and drank it.

After drinking a mouthful of tea, Li Xiaoran immediately spat it out.

The Eldest Princess was originally looking at Princess Ning Xin, but when she saw Li Xiaoran spit out the tea, she immediately frowned.

“What happened?”

At this moment, Li Xiaoran’s expression changed. Then, she looked at the eldest princess and then at Shu Ruyue, who wasn’t far away.

“Ruyue, come and take a look. Is there something wrong with this tea?! ”

When Shu Ruyue heard Li Xiaoran’s words, her expression immediately changed and she quickly ran over.

The Eldest Princess didn’t expect Li Xiaoran to say such a thing. Then, she looked at a servant on the other side.

Seeing this, the servant walked forward and poured some tea out of the teapot.

Sure enough, their expressions changed.

“How is it?” Li Xiaoran asked Shu Ruyue.

“Your tongue is really sensitive. There is indeed some drug in this tea. After drinking it, your entire body will go numb and your limbs will only be able to move very slowly. Very few people will notice this drug mixed in the tea. At first, you won’t feel anything, but as time passes, your entire body will go numb. After two hours, you won’t be able to move!” After Shu Ruyue tasted the tea, she came to this conclusion.

“That’s right. This girl is right. Someone drugged this tea,” the woman said.

When the Eldest Princess heard this, she immediately frowned.

On the other side, the woman returned to the Eldest Princess’s side and took a sip of the pot of tea she had drunk from previously. Then, she took out a bottle of medicine and a pill from her pocket.

“Eldest Princess, take it!”

After the Eldest Princess nodded, she took the pill and swallowed it.

After swallowing the pill, the Eldest Princess looked at Li Xiaoran.

“Give them one too!”

The woman froze for a moment before taking out three pills.

“You guys should take it too! This pill can detoxify all poisons. After taking this, you don’t have to be afraid of others poisoning you!” The Eldest Princess understood Li Xiaoran’s personality, so she explained.historical

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she took the pill and swallowed it.

Shu Ruyue frowned. After seeing Li Xiaoran swallow it, she carefully observed the pill and finally swallowed it as well.

In the end, Princess Ning Xin also stood up and took a pill.

“What do you think?” Seeing that everyone had taken the antidote pill, the

Eldest Princess began to focus on this matter.

Li Xiaoran understood what the Eldest Princess meant and thought about it for a moment.

“We can’t confirm if all the tea at this banquet has been tampered with or not.

Whenever I encounter something, I consider the worst scenario first. In this

case, the worst case scenario is that all the tea has been drugged. In that case, the other party’s goal is quite thought-provoking. The consequences will be unimaginable! ”

“That’s impossible. If that’s the case, I’ll ask them to leave now!” Princess Ning Xin’s expression changed.

She had never expected things to turn out like this. She had only organized a flower banquet.

“What if the anesthetic takes effect after they leave the farmstead? Wouldn’t it be even more dangerous then?” Li Xiaoran glanced at Princess Ning Xin and said, “If I were you, I would have to give instructions to your trusted aides at this moment. Moreover, they have to be people who have never drunk the tea in the garden. Hurry up and get reinforcements. If you’re late, there might be an unexpected change in the situation!”

“You mean that this matter is not personal, but that someone wants to subdue us to threaten other people?” The Eldest Princess already understood what Li Xiaoran meant.

“My intuition tells me that’s the case!” Li Xiaoran replied.

At this moment, Li Xiaoran recalled that she had parked the carriage outside the farmstead and suddenly came back to her senses.

No wonder when she saw so many people previously, her first thought was to park the carriages outside to prevent being blocked here in case of an emergency.

It turned out that she had a bad feeling right from the beginning.

On the other side, Princess Ning Xin was already panicking. She didn’t know who to ask for help from.

When Li Xiaoran sensed Princess Ning Xin’s panic, she sighed.

As expected, this fussy princess was unreliable.

They had only encountered such a small matter, but Princess Ning Xin was already frightened out of her wits.

The Eldest Princess also noticed Princess Ning Xin’s state. After shaking her head, she looked at the person beside her.

“Go and get someone to transfer the soldiers from the capital’s guards!” As the Eldest Princess spoke, she took out a token on her body. “Take this token. The other party will know what to do after seeing it!”

A maid walked forward, took the token, and turned to leave.

“Eldest Princess, this is inappropriate!” The servant who had given her the antidote said disapprovingly.

The Eldest Princess wasn’t worried at all and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t die here!”

At this moment, a cry of surprise came from not far away.

Right on the heels of that, the crowd panicked.

Soon, a person who looked like a maid rushed over.

“Princess, there’s bad news! Someone died in the garden!”

After Li Xiaoran and Shu Ruyue exchanged looks, they looked at the maid who rushed over.

Princess Ning Xin found a chair and sat down. She had yet to recover from the shock yet.

When she heard the maid shouting that someone was dead, her body went limp and she collapsed on the chair.

Seeing this, the Eldest Princess asked coldly, “Why are you so flustered? No matter what happens, you have to remain calm! Come forward and tell me what’s going on.”

After being reprimanded, the maid looked terrified.

Just as the maid walked forward to report, Li Xiaoran suddenly felt the other party’s emotions change.

At this moment, Li Xiaoran realized something, so as she ran towards the

Eldest Princess, she shouted, “Eldest Princess, be careful!”

In the blink of an eye, the maid took out a hidden weapon from her sleeve and shot at the Eldest Princess’s chest.

In a moment of desperation, Li Xiaoran kicked the chair where the Eldest Princess was sitting.

After the chair fell, the Eldest Princess fell. Then, the hidden arrow flew over the Eldest Princess’s head and pierced into a pillar behind her.

However, no one expected that the woman who had been protecting the Eldest Princess and who gave the Eldest Princess the antidote would actually raise her dagger and stab at the Eldest Princess..
