The Imperial Guard quickly subdued the Palace Attendant.
Gao Qian was caught off guard by a shove and nearly fell, but Zhou Yun steadied him.
"What is going on!" Gao Qian's expression was grim.
Zhou Yun was also completely bewildered.
Just as Liang Wan was about to turn, she saw a sharp glint flash in Lu Xiu's eyes. In an instant, he struck the heavily injured assassin with his palm, knocking her unconscious.
Everyone watched in amazement.
Only then did Lu Xiu say calmly, "She has poison hidden under her tongue."
Hearing this, a nearby imperial guard hurried to pry open the assassin's mouth and, sure enough, retrieved a tiny pill from under her tongue.
Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, the imperial guard presented the pill to Gao Qian.
Gao Qian picked up the pill and examined it, an inscrutable light flickering in his eyes. "Since you knew she was the one who used the poison, why didn't you say so when I asked?"
