Chapter 1546: Chapter 1546: Can Only Bite the Dust

“Wasn’t the old emperor preparing to take action against the Xia family?”

“What if that old thing caught them off guard and has already ordered his men to do it?”

Hearing this, Qian Jiyun’s expression darkened.

He had only heard that the old emperor planned to strike at the Xia family, but he had forgotten that he might make the first move. It was all because the Half Puppet Poison matter had been so troubling that for a moment he didn’t consider the people from the Xia family.

“I will send someone over,” he said.

“Mm.”

An Jiuyue acknowledged and pursed her lips towards the long table where she had just been refining medicinal pills.

“Take all those with you. Even if there are extras, keep them in reserve.”

Additionally, she needed to refine some more and also leave behind the prescription. Even if they failed to refine medicinal pills or medicinal powder, simply grabbing the medicine to brew and ingest would also suffice.

All night, the major clans of the capital were anything but calm.

The sudden poison had brought down every single member of these major clans, sparing none. Later, the people dispatched by Eldest Brother Yan were frantically using antidote powder to save them.

Yet, there were still one or two people who had died for sure, beyond any help.

Two bodies were placed in a storeroom to the south of the capital within the Shu Clan, both of them servants of the Shu family, a man and a woman.

After everyone else had been detoxified, only these two did not wake up, having ceased to breathe.

The two Longhu Guards dispatched to the Shu family sighed as they looked at the dead pair.

Why was it that everyone else was saved, but these two could not be revived? Could it be that their const.i.tution was too weak? Hardly likely, could the servants’ const.i.tution really be worse than that of Old Madam Shu, who was bedridden all year round?

But these two were dead, and it was completely baffling.

“Take them away.”

Whether they were dead or the poison was not yet cured, as long as they did not awake, they were under orders to be taken away; this was the command given by the prince to them.

Thus, they promptly asked several other Longhu Guards to bring a stretcher, and they lifted the two bodies up.

“Lord, where are you taking my son? Please let this servant bury the child. He’s already dead,” pleaded a voice.

The two servants were children born into the Shu family, with parents who were also household servants of the family. The sight of their own children being taken away reduced them to a state of desperate crying.

A person was dead; could they not leave even the body behind?

“Silence!”

The steward of the Shu family heard their outcry and barked angrily.

These were Longhu Guards, after all. Even their masters would not dare to raise their voice against the Longhu Guards. How could they object to the removal of the bodies of two household-born children?

Besides, the bodies were obviously not normal and had succ.u.mbed to poison; perhaps keeping them in the Shu family would invite further trouble?

“Housekeeper…”

“Say another word, and you can follow them,” the housekeeper glared at them threateningly.

“Ah.”

Upon hearing this, no matter how reluctant they felt, they had to stop.

Their child was already gone, and they had other sons and daughters. They couldn’t possibly join this child in death, could they? They could only shrink back and stop uttering a word.

The Longhu Guards rolled their eyes at the steward’s words.

Who did they think the Longhu Guards were, to care for their affairs? As if they were doing this without having enough on their plate already.

“Take them away.”

Ignoring the servants, the Longhu Guards carried the stretcher away, one leading and one following.
