The Physicist Wife Who Overturned The World
1058 Wait and See
The news that the Ninth Lord's Estate would distribute the antidote for free tomorrow had already spread throughout the entire Imperial City in less than two hours. Regardless of whether the antidote was real or fake, those people in despair had a trace of hope as they came to the Ninth Lord's Estate to line up. Even if the antidote would only be distributed tomorrow, they had already started to line up today. They were willing to line up for an entire day and night.
As for those with some status, they were still hesitating. They wondered if they should line up outside the Ninth Lord's Estate or submit to the Empress and the Second Prince to obtain the antidote.
However, it was unknown if the antidote in the Ninth Lord's Estate was real or fake, but the antidote in the Empress's Estate was real. Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, quite a few people still chose to submit to the Empress and the Second Prince. After all, one could only choose one of the two.
Tonight, the Imperial City was especially not quiet and there were chaotic sounds everywhere. In the middle of the night, one could even see countless people strolling on the streets. There was already a long line outside the Ninth Lord's Estate. Many people were lying on the ground sleeping.
In the inner courtyard of the Imperial Palace, the night was not quiet either.
When the Empress found out that the Ninth Lord's Estate was giving out the antidote for free, she was extremely angry, but she did not think that the Ninth Lord's Estate really had the antidote.
If the Ninth Lord's Estate had the antidote, there would not have been so many people poisoned previously.
"Mother, do you think the antidote from the Ninth Lord's Estate is real?" the Second Prince asked uneasily.
Seeing that he was about to succeed and seize the throne, he did not want anything to happen.
"Don't worry. The Ninth Lord's Estate won't have a real antidote. Otherwise, they would have long taken it out to save their own people. However, just in case, we still have to send people to keep an eye on the Ninth Lord's Estate. If anything happens, we'll kill them without mercy." The Empress had a ruthless expression. Her patience with the Ninth Lord's Estate had already run out.
Since it could not be used by her, she would destroy it.
Previously, she had sent many people to investigate Ye Jiushang and Xue Fanxin's whereabouts. Up to now, there had been no news. With the exposure of her son's secret, he had already lost the right to compete for the position of the Crown Prince. Therefore, she could only use forceful methods to obtain everything she wanted. Otherwise, she would have nothing.
She originally did not want to use the plague poison, but she had no choice. Anyway, those who died were those who would not submit to her. They deserved to die.
If they had to blame someone, they could only blame Ye Jiushang. After all, he was unwilling to help her and did not even show his face. So now, she could only take this step.
At the same time, among the four great families, the heads and elders of the various families were holding a secret meeting, wondering if the antidote distributed by the Ninth Lord's Estate was real or fake. Should they take this opportunity to escape the control of the Empress and the Second Prince?
However, if the antidote for the Ninth Lord's Estate was fake, the entire family would be doomed.
"Do you think the antidote for the Ninth Lord's Estate is real or fake? We have to be careful about this. Once the Empress and the Second Prince find out about our disloyalty, the family will suffer a calamity."
"Why don't we wait and see? Aren't there many ordinary people queuing outside the Ninth Lord's Estate? Let's see what happens after those ordinary people take the antidote. If their poison is really cured, we'll make a decision then."
"I think so too."
It was not only the four great families who had such thoughts. Many people with power and status had the same thoughts. They were all secretly observing and acting according to the situation.
Xue Fanxin did not care about this. She brewed the antidote overnight and even got the people in the residence to help. Pot after pot of the antidote was being brewed.
In order to ensure the medicinal effects, Xue Fanxin dripped a drop of Divine Spirit Water into every pot of antidote.
Although it was only a drop, the medicinal effects had greatly increased.
On this night, quite a few medicinal shops and trading companies had been robbed clean. Especially the Golden Sea Pavilion, they had suffered extremely heavy losses.
