The illness is terminal, and the end is near.
This was Qin Liuxi's thought when she saw Princess Rui, Mu Jin. She tapped the golden silkworm poison, which was agitated by sensing the poisonous insect, and walked over.
Her words startled Nanny Wang and Mrs. Mu—infected by poison?
Mrs. Mu glanced at Nanny Wang, who took small steps outside, instructing a trusted maid to guard the door. If the princess was infected by poison, it was not just a common illness but an ulterior motive at play.
Unexpectedly, when Mu Jin heard Qin Liuxi's words, she was momentarily dazed but not overly shocked, as if she had expected this all along.
Qin Liuxi found it somewhat strange.
Mu Jin's reaction was unusual. An ordinary person, upon knowing they were infected by poison, would first be astonished and furious, followed by confusion and fear.
Yet, she was overly calm, with only a trace of surprise, but more so a sense of relief, as if confirming that something was indeed wrong.
