From the time Tan Rou entered the venue to Monica losing her sanity, it had not been more than 15 minutes, and all the food on the table was from the palace. Tan Rouâs bag had been checked already, and apart from some sunscreen, there was nothing else in it.
Hence, she had no opportunity to poison Monica. Moreover, Monica hadnât eaten anything given by Tan Rou, so how could Tan Rou have had the chance to poison Monica?
âYou wicked foreigner,â Monica said, laughing, âyou must have used the witchcraft of your country! Quickly release me from the magic, or I will never let you off!â
Tan Rou rolled her eyes and said, âIâm sorry, but people from our country do not practice magic, and I havenât cast any on you. You might just be ill. If I were you, Iâd hurry to the hospital right now, or call a doctor to treat me, instead of hurling accusations.â
Monica was left without the strength to speak; she kept laughing on the ground, with three maids joining her in her frenzy, looking to anyone unaware like they were performing some modern dance.
Everyone was stunned; they never expected Princess Monica to be lying on the ground, rolling around like a tantrum-throwing lunatic.
Tan Rou sneakily glanced at the Kingâs expression; it was very serious and his complexion looked unpleasant, as if he was enduring something.
Princess Samiyi, seeing such a scene, felt both happy and worried; she was pleased that Monica was suffering but also anxious about what Busodi would do when he returned.
âMiss Rou, what exactly happened here?â Princess Samiyi asked.
Tan Rou spread her hands innocently and said, âYour Highness, I really donât know what happened. She came to hit me, but as soon as she got close, she suddenly fell ill. The same happened to these maids; they fell ill as soon as they approached Princess Monica. I can assure you, I havenât poisoned them, you can run some tests if you donât believe me.â@@novelbin@@
Lin Yu covered his mouth quietly, chuckled a few times to compose himself, and then said, âYour Majesty, there is definitely no such skill as magic in my country, so I can vouch for Miss Rou. She hasnât used magic on Princess Monica, nor has she poisoned her.â
The King still had a stern face, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
Princess Samiyi felt that they couldnât let Monica continue to act mad on the ground, so she commanded, âGo help the princess up.â
The maids called by name were a bit afraid because they had seen what had happened to the previous maids, so they also worried about getting infected.
Princess Samiyi frowned slightly and said very seriously, âHurry and help Princess Monica up.â
The few maids had no choice but to bravely help Monica up, praying in their hearts that they wouldnât catch anything, as they didnât want to embarrass themselves in front of so many people.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Tan Rou also approached Monica and her group and gently released their acupoints.
By the time the maids helped them up, Monica and her group had already stopped laughing. However, Monica looked very disheveled by then; her exquisite makeup was messed up, her hair was in disarray, her fiery red dress was wrinkled, and it was covered in dust.
Monica, weak and breathless, said to Tan Rou, âYou just wait, I will never let you goâ¦â
Tan Rou said very innocently, âYour Highness, I really did not poison you, please do not falsely accuse me!â
Princess Monica, convinced that Tan Rou was behind the mischief, then said, âYour Majesty, you must stand up for me, this bad woman from abroad has poisoned me, or else I surely wouldnât be lying on the ground.â
The King still maintained his silence, seemingly unwilling to engage with Monica.
Monica, extremely angry, said to the King, âYour Majesty, my husband works hard outside so that my children and I can have a better life. But now youâre letting this foreign woman harm me, and if my husband finds out, he will be very heartbroken,â
The King coldly looked at Monica and said, âAre you threatening me?â
