After Chiang Xuancheng said that, Lu Jia’s face darkened and her lips tightened. Yun Qianyu immediately reached out and signaled for her to calm down.
Chiang Xuancheng was obviously using words to stimulate the assassin, trying to force the assassin to come out in anger.
Lu Jia was a smart person. After being reminded by Yun Qianyu, she immediately calmed down.
Yun Qianyu then also took out a scent masking sachet and placed it around her own waist.
After General Chiang Xuancheng and the old madam finished speaking, he stood up straight and looked back toward the crowd of women. At this time, the crowd was very quiet and no one dared to speak.
Everyone in the crowd hoped that they would be fine and the dog wouldn’t make them look suspicious.
After greeting the old madam and the empress, Chiang Xuancheng also greeted the crown prince and Xiao Jiuyuan. Finally, he ordered one of his men to bring the dog.
The dog had already smelled the scent of the poison from the Lord Protector’s clothing. Thus, if the dog came into the hall now, it should be able to find the person with the poison.
Led by the leash, the dog came beside Yun Qianyu and Lu Jia and slowed down a little. The dog sniffed around which made Lu Jia very nervous. On the other hand, Yun Qianyu was very calm about it.
With a stern look, Yun Qianyu glared at the dog which scared it away. But soon the dog seemed to have found something and was moving toward one of the ladies. It was Shui Xian, Yun Qianxue’s servant girl.
Out of nowhere, the dog bit onto Shui Xian’s leg and tried to drag her out of the hall.
With a pale face, Shui Xian screamed in a panic. “Ah! Don’t bite me!”
Yun Qianxue looked shocked and was also panicking.
With a livid look on his face, General Chiang Xuancheng ordered, “Men, arrest this servant girl!”
“Yes.”
Two of Chiang Xuancheng’s subordinates came forward in a flash and grabbed Shui Xian without any mercy.
At this time, Yun Qianxue finally reacted. She came out with a pale face and said, “General, I think there must be some misunderstanding. Shui Xian is only a servant girl. She has not left my side since we came here, how could she have harmed the Lord Protector?”
As soon as Yun Qianxue opened her mouth, the dog noticed her and also jumped toward her wanting to bite her leg.
As an orange spirit energy user, when Yun Qianxue saw the dog going for her, she immediately raised her hand and shot out a blast of spirit energy toward the dog.
Chiang Xuancheng saw this and became extremely furious. ‘How dare she try to kill our family hound!
Ridiculous!’
Immediately, Chiang Xuancheng raised his hand and a green aura flew straight toward Yun Qianxue. Yun Qianxue’s orange spirit energy was torn apart in an instant and she was blasted by the spirit energy. She was thrown into the crowd, causing bursts of screams. Then she fell to the ground and vomited a mouthful of blood.
Yun Qianxue’s mother, Liu Shi, quickly came out and stood in front of her daughter.
“General, don’t you dare bully my daughter!”
Chiang Xuancheng sneered and said, “Madam Yun sure is blind to the facts. Clearly, it was your daughter who ordered her servant girl to poison my father. So how am I bullying your daughter now?”
