"Guards, apprehend this woman." Emily's voice was cold and firm, and her eyes flashed with anger.
Two of the guards moved swiftly, and one of them grasped the old maid's arm with such force that she gritted her teeth in pain. The old maid's face paled instantly, and she stared at Emily in horror, as if she couldn't believe she was being suspected.
Emily calmly instructed another guard to summon the court physician, who needed to confirm Heidi's story. The court physician soon arrived in haste, and, taking the orange jelly, he left with a grim expression for the examination room.
Half an hour later, the court physician reported the results to Emily, informing her that the orange jelly had indeed been poisoned and that it contained a substance that would render a woman infertile. Emily was shocked and outraged by the news; she couldn't believe anyone would be so daring.
