As her words fell, Cai Qin suddenly collapsed to the ground.
Qi Yu wiped her hands, slightly lowered her eyes, and looked at Cai Qin's reasonably pretty and delicate face, now painted with thick terror.
She spoke in a soft and detailed manner, "When in the capital city, there were also many who wanted to poison this Princess, but none of them succeeded. Do you know why?"
Cai Qin looked at her with a terrified expression.
Qi Yu stopped talking and chuckled lightly, "Can you confess now?"
Cai Qin swallowed hard and, very sensibly, kowtowed, "Please spare me, Princess, I admit my wrongs!"
Qi Yu said indifferently, "Speak."
Cai Qin confessed in detail how she bought the poison and how she administered it, and though Qi Yu had largely guessed the process, hearing her say it out loud still made her feel she had been too kind.
So, the only reason others wanted to poison Li Mingjue was that poisoning her was taking too long and was too slow to take effect.
