They had tried to outsmart her but ended up creating more trouble for themselves.
The two handfuls of powder Wuqing had scattered both landed on Qingchen, deepening his poisoning and leaving him completely immobile.
However, some of the secret guards who were farther away or ran faster managed to escape unharmed.
Qingchen was furious. That woman's poison is incredibly powerful; I seriously underestimated her. Once I capture her, I'll take her life. Such a venomous woman... if I tried to use her, I would inevitably be poisoned by her sooner or later. I will not keep anyone who refuses to serve me alive, no matter who they are. I thought I didn't mind her being married to someone else, that I didn't find her distasteful, but she continually rejected me. And she even humiliated me like this! In my entire life, the ones I hate most are women who turn against me. Gu Qingli and that despicable woman who harmed me – both of them will pay dearly for this!
