Chapter 1890: Black Widow
The Emperor picked one of the pills and said to Prince Ping with a serious expression,” Prince Ping, why don’t you try this pill?”
Jiang Zhennan, Eunuch Zhang, and Prince Ping were all stunned.
They could imagine that the person to take the pill should be Eunuch Zhang.
However, they never expected that His Majesty would specifically ask Prince Ping to test the medicine!
This was too shocking!
Prince Ping’s mouth was wide open in shock, and he could not come back to his senses for a long time.
He stuttered,” Imperial Brother, this… This…” He did not dare to try.
Regardless of whether the medicine was poison or a truth pill that could make people tell the truth, he could not take it.
It was fine if it was poison, but if it were a truth pill, those people would get something out of him. It would be terrible.
The Emperor’s sharp eyes had a stern expression as he asked,” Prince Ping, is there a problem?”
His expression, which was not angry but powerful, clearly told Prince Ping that it was not up to him to choose whether he wanted to take the medicine or not!
Prince Ping’s expression immediately became stiff and conflicted, but the twitching of his cheeks showed his suppressed anger.
A moment later, he closed his eyes. His eyes were suddenly calm. He sighed with a sense of loss and sadness. “Since Imperial Older Brother wants Imperial Younger Brother to eat, Imperial Younger Brother will obey!”
After Jiang Zhennan heard Prince Ping’s words, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. However, when his gaze suddenly landed on the sleeve of Prince Ping’s sleeve and his slightly moving fingertips, his pupils suddenly contracted violently!
He was going to…
Jiang Zhennan was secretly a little anxious.
He wasn’t sure if Prince Ping intended to kill himself to frame Yue ‘er or if he wanted to strike first and threaten the Emperor’s life.
His eyes suddenly flashed as he shouted,” Prince Ping, be careful!”
As he said this, the knife in his hand made a few slashes on Prince Ping’s body. Soon, the luxurious and expensive clothes on Prince Ping’s body fell to the ground in pieces. After a while, Prince Ping was only wearing a set of inner clothes.
When Prince Ping saw that he was only left with a white inner garment, he was stunned at first. Then, his face turned green and red. He was embarrassed, angry, and furious.
Prince Ping’s face was livid. He gritted his teeth and asked angrily,” Great General, what are you doing? Are you humiliating this king?”
Jiang Zhennan said frankly,” I’m sorry, Prince Ping. I saw this on you just now.” As he said this, he took out his sabre. Then, everyone noticed that there was a black spider on the sabre. It was the size of three fingers.
Eunuch Zhang was the first to exclaim in surprise,” Ah, this… This is the Black Widow!”
But then he was puzzled.” Why is such a big Black Widow on His Highness?”
Jiang Zhennan also asked,” That’s right. Why is the Black Widow with His Highness? When was it on his highness? Why didn’t it bite Your Highness?”
It sounded like an ordinary question, but each word was sharp.
Prince Ping was furious at first, but when he saw the Black Widow, his entire body froze in an instant. The expression on his face immediately cracked, and he truly felt a little panic.
Prince Ping had yet to think of a way to deal with Jiang Zhennan’s question when the Emperor beside him said in puzzlement,” I also want to know the answers to these questions, Prince Ping!”
Prince Ping gave a stiff smile and said,” Imperial Brother, my younger brother…I don’t know either! There must be someone who wants to harm me. Yes, that’s right. Someone wants to harm me, and the person who wants to harm me must be Lin Yuelan.” When he said this, his expression was unusually angry.” Because Lin Yuelan is good at using poison, isn’t it normal for her to put the poisonous Black Widow on me?”
