There were not many people from the Erlun Tribe who came with Mo Enze this time, but they were smart. Therefore, in addition to Lu Ze’s subordinates and the guards arranged by Gu Han, the defense was quite tight.
When they guessed that Concubine Nina might arrange for someone to assassinate them and cause trouble, everyone no longer dared to be careless. They were afraid that if they relaxed even a little, they would bring about a disaster.
Lin Suisui’s carriage was behind Consort Molevin’s carriage. Almost all the men were riding horses, but Lu Ze chose to take a carriage. This surprised Mo Enze, but when he saw An Duo’s colorful carriage, he swallowed his doubts.
Although there were many people in this group, they were not slow.
Mo Enze sent out scouts. When night fell on the grassland, their follow-up troops arrived at the temporary camp that had already been set up in front.
Everything went according to plan. Nothing unexpected happened.
Lin Suisuiwent to Consort Molevin’s tent to check her condition and modify the ratio of two herbs first. Then, she put away her things and stood up to leave.
However, just as she reached the door, Lin Suisui suddenly stopped and turned around to look at the maidservant who had brushed past her and entered the tent with a tray.
“Who is that?” Lin Suisui retracted her gaze and turned to ask Consort Molevin’s nanny, who had sent her out.
“She came with me to serve the Consort. Wulan was injured previously and is still recuperating. Silver Pearl is an old woman who has been helping Consort’s nanny. She’s capable and smart. I’ve chosen the right person by bringing her over this time.”
Lin Suisui wasn’t too interested in these things. Instead, she continued to ask, “Has she always been serving the Consort?”
“Yes, because she’s meticulous and reliable, I handed these things to her to deal with.” The nanny could tell that something was wrong from Lin Suisui’s tone, so she stopped smiling and looked at Lin Suisui nervously. “What’s wrong?”
Lin Suisui didn’t answer the nanny’s question directly. Instead, she instructed Bai Guo, who was beside her, in a low voice, “Call someone over.”
Without any hesitation, Bai Guo turned around and left in a hurry. Yin Qiao, who was left behind, guarded Lin Suisui’s side warily.
When Bai Guo went over to deliver the news, Lu Ze was discussing the next arrangements with Mo Enze. When he heard that something had happened to Consort Molevin, Mo Enze rushed over with Lu Ze. Without needing Lin Suisui to explain, they surrounded the Consort’s tent.
“What’s wrong, Brother?” When Consort Molevin saw Mo Enze, who was walking in quickly from outside the tent, she frowned in confusion. Looking at Mo Enze’s obviously dark expression, her intuition told her that something bad had happened.
“Have you drunk medicine?” Mo Enze didn’t answer Consort Molevin’s question directly. Instead, he walked over. When he saw that the medicine in the medicine bowl by the bed was still steaming and didn’t look like it had been drunk, he heaved a sigh of relief. Before anyone could react, he reached out and grabbed Silver Pearl, who was standing at the side.
This sudden change in situation shocked Consort Molevin. Before she could scream, the next scene stunned her.
Silver Pearl, who Molevin originally thought would be seriously injured by her brother’s attack, turned around and dodged the fatal blow. She counterattacked Mo Enze immediately.
However, Mo Enze wasn’t the only one who had entered the tent. Lu Ze and the others attacked together and instantly pressed down Silver Pearl, who was still resisting.
Because there had been a precedent of sacrificial soldiers taking poison in advance, Lu Ze immediately reached out and dislocated her chin. Then, the guard behind him quickly went forward and used a cruel but very effective method to break Silver Pearl’s gums and take out the poisonous pill.
“How did you discover that something was wrong with this person?” After they tied up Silver Pearl and dragged her away, Mo Enze turned around curiously and asked Lin Suisui, who was standing at the side with a calm expression.
“I wasn’t sure, but the smell on her body made me a little suspicious.” Lin Suisui simply told him the reason she realized that something was wrong. “I’m much more sensitive to herbs than others.
Among the medicine she had just served, there was clearly an additional medicine that I had not listed in the prescription.
Taking this herb for a short period of time won’t cause much harm. It’ll only make people sleepy and dispirited.
I asked the wet nurse and found out that she had been in charge of the medicine during this period of time, so I became suspicious.
In the current situation, it’s better to be careful.”
“It’s all thanks to your vigilance this time. Otherwise, I really don’t know what would have happened next.” Mo Enze heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Lin Suisui’s explanation.
At least she wasn’t using any lethal poison now. If she used poison to deal with his sister, who was already injured…
It was unimaginable!
“She probably won’t use poison for the time being. Her goal is probably to show everyone that I can’t relieve the effects of the medicine on Consort.
This way, her master behind the scenes will wait for an opportunity to negotiate with you guys. Perhaps they will be able to get what they want.”
In this short period of time, Lin Suisui figured out the other party’s plan. The other party was quite scheming, but she wasn’t a pushover either.
Mo Enze and Lu Ze didn’t stay any longer. They went out to ask the mole for information.
On the other side, Lin Suisui took Consort Molevin’s pulse carefully and checked the bowl of medicine again. Then, she relaxed and comforted Consort Molevin, “It’s fine. I’ll hand the adjusted prescription to the wet nurse.. For the next period of time, leave the brewing of the medicine to the wet nurse!”
