The Prodigiously Amazing Weaponsmith [Translated Novel]
Chapter 217: The Motive

Huang Yue Li was slightly surprised.


Bai Ruo Qi suddenly discovered this trick. Worthy of being his cousin; smart enough, but also quite shameless!


At the right time, Huang Yue Li made a terrified expression. Staring with a pair of plain eyes he confidently said, “Second Brother, you... how can you say that? How can I slander you?"


She bit her little lower lip, almost crying.


In the Empress Dowager's eyes, her heart felt even more pity when she thought about her grievances for so many years.


“Girl Li, don't be sad. Ai Jia believes you are not such a person! Qi'er, how can you say that about your sister? Ai Jia really didn't think you were such a person!”


“Widow Empress, you're too biased. Qier has proof!”


Bai Ruo Qi gnashed his teeth, shouting loudly in defense.


“Before Qi'er fainted, he only drank a glass of wine with Third Sister. So he guessed the possibility of him poisoning the wine was the biggest!”


Shocked for a moment, the Empress Dowager looked back at Huang Yue Li, "Is that true?"


Huang Yue Li said, “Yes, we did drink a cup. But it was obviously Second Brother who came to me. Cups and jugs are also provided by him. Furthermore, Second Brother is a strong cultivator, how do I have the ability to poison him, under his eyes?"


“You mean, I poisoned myself and drank the poison? Am I stupid?”


Huang Yue Li frowned her mouth, an innocent expression plastered.


“I... You call yourself a fool, I didn't say..”.


Hearing these words, many people could not help themselves and laughed.


“Pfftt..”


“It's too funny. There are still people who call themselves stupid!”


“You... You mock me! When Imperial Physician Liu came, weren't you the one who proposed the idea of checking through the silk sheets? If you don't have ulterior motives, why would you do such exaggerated things? Clearly you and Imperial Physician Liu are conspiring with each other!”


"What am I colliding with?"


Huang Yue Li showed an innocent expression.


“Second Brother, the examination through the silk cloth is indeed my proposal, but I did it with consideration for your good name! After all, your bleeding area.. that place.. if the Imperial Physician wants to see..”.


"What do you mean?!”


“In addition, I really don't understand why during the examination of the silk sheets, Imperial Physician Liu will 'misdiagnose'. Are you implying that he won't misdiagnose if he sees a patient's face? In the end, who was the target?”


A pair of curious eyes, Huang Yue Li asked with great confusion. He needed Bai Ruo Qi to dispel this doubt.


Faced with this question, Bai Ruo Qi was suddenly at a loss for words!


He had not expected Huang Yue Li's reaction to be so quick. Once again taking the flaws in his words!


If Imperial Physician Liu saw Bai Ruo Qi and thus did not 'misdiagnose', it would only serve to further consolidate the hidden masterminds. Doesn't that mean he can't escape that suspicion, Bai Ruo Qi?


In an attempt to ignore this topic, Bai Ruo Qi continued, “In short, only the two of us drank. If the poisoner wasn't me then it was him, and of course I wouldn't have poisoned myself. The suspect was about to fall to Bai Ruo Li and he had quite a big motive for this!"


"Oh? What motive?” The Empress Dowager asked.


Everyone has their ears attached as well.


Bai Ruoqi loudly said, "Bai Ruo Li had always considered himself the Crown Prince's fiancee. So he wants to get rid of me, one of his competitors!”


Note: I will change the way I write names, Huang Yue Li → Huang Yueli
