Chapter 949: His Actual Target Was The Emperor

Caught off guard, Wanyan Luosang ended up taking on the full force of his bite.

The excruciating pain made her raise her hand and bring it down to strike Wanyan Zhis neck.

However, Chu Jiu was faster and grabbed her wrist in one swift motion.

Why would you attack a child, Princess Luosang? That strike could have injured or crippled the Prince, Chu Jiu said coldly. She flung Wanyan Luosangs arm aside, then pinched Wanyan Zhis cheeks, forcing his jaw to slacken.

Wanyan Zhi suddenly burst into tears.

You lied to me, Grandaunt. My fathers gone, and you killed his beloved horse too. Youre all bad people

Heartbroken, Long Qingzhi hurried forward and hugged him in her arms. Dont be sad, Zhier. Theyre all bad people, but you still have me. Ill always be with you.

Wanyan Zhi continued to howl in anguish, Fathers gone, and so is his beloved horse

Pain gripped Long Qingzhis heart, and she whipped her head around to give Wanyan Luosang a look of intense hatred. Get out of here right now, or things are going to get very ugly.

Cradling her injured right hand, Wanyan Luosang was just as furious. How dare you get angry when your sons the one who bit me? Im his grandaunt. Is this how he treats his elders?

/

Long Qingzhis eyes were bloodshot. Wanyan Luosang, dont you dare act all superior! Arent you ashamed of using a child to achieve your goal? You have no right to call yourself his elder!

Wanyan Zhi suddenly said through loud sobs, Grandaunt broke her promise. She said that if I helped her, she would find a way to bring Fathers beloved horse to Great Shang for me. Grandaunts a liar! They killed Fathers horse long ago

Wanyan Luosang turned pale and opened her mouth to say something, but Lu Liangwei was faster. She asked Wanyan Zhi gently, Zhier, what did your grandaunt ask you to do?

Wanyan Luosang wanted to stop him, but it was too late.

Sniffling, Wanyan Zhi replied, She smeared a kind of medicinal powder on my finger and told me to touch Uncles mouth when he carried me.

Lu Liangweis face turned grim, and she glared at Wanyan Luosang. Princess Luosang, what else do you have to say for yourself?

Wanyan Luosangs face was as white as a sheet, and her hands were balled into tight fists. Right now, she could not panic, or she would be done for.

Struggling to maintain her composure, she said, Your Highness, how can you take the words of a six-year-old child seriously? Or could it be that you staged this entire show with him to frame me because you dont like me? I adore the Emperor, so why would I make a child put medicinal powder on his finger and touch him? Besides, how would I know that he would carry Zhier?

Noting the dread in her eyes, Lu Liangwei pressed on. Wanyan Luosang, dont think of s.h.i.+fting the blame to me. Ive already found out about you instigating Zhier to poison the Emperor long ago. During the Lantern Festival, Zhier suddenly ran to me as if he wanted me to carry him, but his actual target was the Emperor.

Because Im pregnant, the Emperor wouldnt let me carry him. Zhiers a smart child, and he visits the palace often, too. Ive never carried him ever since I got pregnant, so he clearly knew that the Emperor wouldnt let me do it. Besides, hes the Emperors only nephew, so the Emperor would definitely carry him because he couldnt bear to let him down. None of us guarded against him because first, hes still a child; and second, hes the Grand Princesss son. There was no reason for him to harm the Emperor.
