Long Rui nodded, looking at Madam Wang, his voice icy: "Princess Consort, how do you explain this?"
Madam Wang was dumbfounded, she really hadn't thought of this. These poisons were given to her by The Emperor for self-defense purposes; at that time, in a rush, she didn't think much when giving them to Xiao Cui, and she overlooked that poison is one of the controlled substances by the Imperial court: "I... I... How would I know?"
Long Yi: "Princess Consort, stop making excuses. Xiao Cui, just a maid, couldn't possibly buy poison from an apothecary out there."
Madam Wang's eyes shifted: "This is hard to say, perhaps it was given to her by her master from behind the scenes!"
Xiao Cui looked up, incredulous, at Madam Wang: "Princess Consort, I have always been utterly loyal to you, how could I have another master?"
Madam Wang sneered: "You're just a self-serving scoundrel. If you were truly loyal, you wouldn't treat me, the Princess Consort, like this."
