Gideon couldn't help but applaud Jiang Yue for having the initiative to tell him about that. For him, her plan was so flawless that he himself could just sit there, feeling calm and assured that this incident would be over soon.
Jiang Yue also told him another thing, which made him speechless. The Queen was using an arsenic type of slow-acting poison, which was laced in the papers with calligraphy that she always gifted him. Li Hong Yi always loved calligraphy and the Queen had taken advantage of that.
After just a few months of being married to her, Gideon remembered, the Queen gave him the first calligraphy painting, which he always liked from then on. A year after that, he started showing some symptoms of poisoning. Although he knew he was being poisoned, he always assumed that it was something that he had taken in with his food and drinks. He never thought that it was something that he had touched.
