I became an official of the imperial court by eating melons when I was still a baby

Chapter 246: Nanzhu's Purpose for Opening a Treasure Shop

The three members of the Qin family were a little angry when they heard what Qin Yue and the system said.

If the Golden Emperor of Nanzhu really thinks that the reason they are short is because of the curse of the Southern Dynasty, then come openly!

On the other hand, he felt that he could not win the head-on confrontation, so he secretly used such means to murder the ladies.

How come these small countries only know how to use such small tricks? !

How despicable! Pah!

Although the people watching around were not rich, and these poisonous ornaments had nothing to do with them, they were still furious when they thought about people from other countries using such disgusting methods to harm the people of the Southern Dynasty!

Qin Yue also said angrily: [Sister, how come this Nan Zhu is the same as Nan Zhao, both like to use some small Taoist techniques! ! And why do they have to harm those ladies! ]

[They don't know how to curse, could it be that the Dwarf King is indiscriminate and wants to take revenge on anyone from the Southern Dynasty? ! ]

System: [Zhu Jindi doesn’t think so. 】

[There is a purpose for opening a high-end jewelry store like Zhenpinfang, but it has not been achieved yet. ]

Qin Yue quickly asked: [Sister, you mean no one has died from the poisoning yet, right? ]

When everyone heard this, they were filled with hope.

As long as no one dies from the poisoning, it means that Nanzhu’s conspiracy has not been accomplished!

Speaking of which, it was fortunate that Xiao Fuguan came to this street today and got off in front of the Treasure Shop. Otherwise, he would not have tasted the melon from the Treasure Shop so early, and there was no telling when the conspiracy of the Nanzhu royal family would be exposed.

I believe that it won’t be long before the court knows about this news today, and once the court knows about it, it will definitely take action.

Not to mention the imperial court, even those who were eating melons on the spot would spread the melons from Zhenpinfang throughout the capital in a very short time.

Those ladies who have bought jewelry from Treasure House will know the news soon.

However, ladies who have worn jewelry for a period of time may have toxins in their bodies.

I don’t know if the toxins will continue to harm my body after I stop wearing toxic jewelry.

When everyone thought of this, they still felt a little worried.

But there is no point in thinking about these things now. They should just continue to eat the melon and see if there will be any turning point.

System: [Yes. So far, no one has developed blue spots on their body, which means that the toxins have not accumulated to the point of being fatal.]

Qin Yue breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. She didn't want the people of the Southern Dynasty to be sacrificed again because of the conspiracy of other countries.

Prince An, General Longxi and Yan Shouren had already been killed, and we don’t want to add more.

Qin Yue continued to ask: [So sister, why do you think they put the ashes into the jewelry? What good will it do them to hurt the lady? ]

System: [Host, don't forget that the jewelry in the Treasure Shop is very expensive. This has set a consumption threshold. Those who can consume in the Treasure Shop are all high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen in the capital.]

[The jewelry from Zhenpinfang is indeed of the highest quality in terms of design and color, so it can successfully attract the favor of high-ranking officials and the wives of wealthy businessmen.]

[As long as those ladies buy and wear jewelry from the Treasure House, people who spend time with them every day will be slowly poisoned invisibly.]

[Host, can you guess now why the Dwarf King specifically opened a treasure shop? ]

After listening to this, Qin Yue thought for a while and then said.

[Sister, what you mean is that the people that the Jujin Emperor really wants to poison are the husbands and fathers of the ladies? In other words, the high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen in the capital?]

Everyone nodded silently in their hearts to show their agreement.

What Xiao Fuguan said does make sense.

After all, it is impossible that the Dwarf Emperor used his grandson's ashes just to harm the ladies in the backyard.

If it was intended to murder high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen, that would make sense.

After all, if high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen died suddenly, it would be a huge loss for the Southern Dynasty.

The system affirmed: [The host is right. But high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen are only one of the goals of the Jumbo Emperor. To be more precise, it is incidental, not the ultimate goal.]

Qin Yue's little brain began to work wildly.

In fact, from the beginning, Qin Yue's intuition told her that the Dwarf Golden Emperor would eventually target the Southern Dynasty royal family.

Because only the royal family of the Southern Dynasty would curse.

The Dwarf Emperor and his people believed that they were short because of a curse cast upon them by the Southern Dynasty royal family. So they might think that as long as they destroyed the Southern Dynasty royal family, their curse would disappear.

However, they would certainly have no chance of winning if they directly confronted the Southern Dynasty royal family, so they could only plan in secret.

[Sister, what I can think of is that the ultimate target of the Jujin Emperor should be the royal family of the Southern Dynasty. Do they want to send poisonous ornaments to the palace? Through the ladies wearing poisonous ornaments, the royal family members will be infected with toxins? ]

When An Siwuliu, who was protecting secretly, heard this, he also had some guesses about this.

I don’t know if His Majesty has received the message. Judging from Xiao Yingying’s speed, he should have arrived at the palace.

An Siwuliu's guess was correct. Not only Emperor Yuan of Jin got the news, but Minister Lin who was interrogating Zhao Taiyang also got the news.

At this moment, with the Treasure Shop as the center, the area within a one-kilometer radius was quietly surrounded by soldiers.

Of course, in order to avoid being noticed by the young official, everyone put on casual clothes and blended in with the passers-by.

The real passers-by only felt that there were more and more people outside the Treasure Shop. There was originally just enough space for one person, but another person was squeezed in, and the seats were almost touching.

The real passers-by were a little speechless, but they also understood it. After all, who doesn’t want to listen to the little lucky official eat melons on the spot!

Such an opportunity is too rare for ordinary people like them, so let's squeeze in...

Yiren and Yitong were completely unaware that their eating of melons had caused a stir outside the Treasure House. At this moment, they were still immersed in the fun of eating and understanding the melons.

The system explained: [The host is right! ]

[Originally, Emperor Zhu Jin and the Second Prince Nan Zhu wanted to take advantage of the uniqueness of the jewelry from the Treasure Shop to bring it into the harem, and then through the daily wearing of the empresses in the harem, gradually let His Majesty be infected with the poison. ]

[After all, generally speaking, the emperor would flip through the cards every day, either staying in this empress's palace or that empress's palace, and the empresses' accessories would usually be placed in their sleeping palaces, so over time it would definitely have an impact on His Majesty the Emperor.]

[However, their plan was well thought out, but they did not understand the temperament of the concubines in the Southern Dynasty's harem at all. Those concubines were not interested in jewelry at all, so up to now, the jewelry of the Treasure Shop has only penetrated into the upper circles of the capital, and has not really entered the palace. ]
