1061 Changed Her Mind

After the Empress’s orders were given, the people in the Imperial City became even more panicked. Apart from a very small number of people who dared to come out and line up to receive the antidote, everyone hid and did not dare to come.

The people of the four great clans originally wanted to wait and see, acting according to the situation. However, with the Empress’s orders, they immediately restrained themselves. Even if they had other thoughts, they did not dare to show them too clearly, so they all waited very obediently.

Xue Fanxin did not care about this. She did not have the mood and energy to care about this now. As long as someone came to seek the antidote outside the door, she would distribute it. After all, the Imperial City had more than ten million people, and 90% of them were ordinary people at the bottom.

Those ordinary people had already been forced into a corner. Apart from the Ninth Lord’s Estate, they had nowhere to go. In order to survive, no matter what the Empress ordered, they had to go outside the Ninth Lord’s Estate to seek the antidote.

“Everyone, line up. I can guarantee that everyone can obtain the antidote.” Xue Fanxin personally distributed the antidote on the spot. At the same time, she gave the people who came to receive the antidote a simple physical examination and used the Yin Yang Nine Needles Art and the Wood Spirit Heavenly Pearl to treat them.

Heilong led the Black Shadow Guards to maintain order and deal with the suspicious people in the dark. If they were from the Empress and the Second Prince, they would directly cripple them on the spot and leave them there.

Mother Ruan, Liu Qing, Heiran, and Heiyue had been following Xue Fanxin. Firstly, they were there to protect her safety, and secondly, they were her assistants.

Little Lei and Xue Batian did not stay idle either. They distributed the antidote.

Because Hai Feng and Zimo’s identities were relatively special, it was not appropriate for them to appear in public, so they carried out what Xue Fanxin had secretly instructed them to do, infiltrating the palace to investigate more secrets about the Empress and the Second Prince.

If the Empress did not have some capable people by her side, how could she have created such a powerful plague poison?

The emperor also had many experts by his side, so it was impossible for him to be easily controlled by the Empress.

There must be a secret they did not know.

They had to investigate these secrets clearly to completely resolve the trouble that the Empress and the Second Prince had caused.

Ever since she found out that the Ninth Lord’s Estate was going to distribute the antidote for free, the Empress had been very uneasy. She had not slept for the entire night and was waiting for the spies to return with news before making countermeasures based on that news.

At this moment, another spy returned to report.

“Your Majesty, the antidote has already been distributed outside the Ninth Lord’s Estate. Many people have gone to line up to receive it. The Ninth Imperial Consort has even personally treated those people.”

“What kind of people are lining up outside the Ninth Lord’s Estate to receive the antidote?” the Empress asked, suppressing her anger. At this moment, she wished she could skin Xue Fanxin alive.

“They’re all ordinary people at the bottom of the hierarchy. There’s no movement from the four great clans.”

“As long as there’s no movement from the four great clans, that’s good. Go, poison all those who took the antidote distributed by the Ninth Lord’s Estate. Then, release the news that the antidote from the Ninth Lord’s Estate is a fatal poison.”

“Yes.”

At this moment, two people were squatting on the roof of the Empress’s chamber. Hearing the Empress’s words just now, the two of them communicated with hand gestures. Then, one of them left, and the remaining person stayed behind to continue gathering information.

When Zimo received the news, he immediately sent someone to inform Xue Fanxin.

Xue Fanxin was busy treating people. When she found out that the Empress wanted to poison the people she had saved, her face was filled with anger.

This damned Empress was really vicious. She actually did not care about the lives of the commoners at all.

She had originally wanted to deal with the Empress after saving the innocent commoners, but it seemed like she had to change her mind.

She would not stop until she killed this Empress.
