Wei Ruo slowly sighed and then, in front of Wei Jinyi and Xiumei, activated the mechanism on her bracelet and poured out the powder hidden inside.
The brown powder was evident when poured onto the black velvet lining of the wooden box used to hold gold jewellery.
"Miss, what's going on? What is this powder?" Xiumei asked in surprise.
"It's a poison intended to harm me. It will not show any effect in the short term, but over time, it will drain my vitality and create difficulties in child bearing. Even a gust of wind could cause me to toppack over. However, this would take at least six or seven years to manifest, making it hard for anyone to notice." Wei Ruo exhaled.
This was a plot point from the original novel, something she had only seen when watching palace intrigue dramas.
