Chapter 475 Poison Apple

"Mirror, tell me the route to the dwarfs' home and their general schedule."

"First follow the path in the forest from sunrise to sunset, then walk to the southeast, over four mountains and across three creeks. The dwarf's home is in the valley where flowers are in full bloom and it is like spring all year round.

As long as it is sunny, the hard-working dwarfs will go out early to hunt or collect wild fruits in the forest to supplement their family income. At the end of the month, they will wear long cloaks and walk on stilts to go to the nearest village to exchange for some daily necessities with the villagers.

Supplies, because the journey is long, often takes the next day to come back.”

Then came the footsteps of the queen. It seemed that she had finished speaking to the magic mirror.

Hearing her intention to inquire about the dwarf's residence and schedule, is she going to find Bai Xue? Is it time to deliver the poison apple?

After walking a few steps, I heard the door open and the queen asked: "Has your majesty been to the collection room in the past two days?"

"No." The voice that answered was a female voice, probably a maid.

Muying immediately realized that this magic mirror should be in the collection room.

After that, no valuable news was heard. The queen seemed to be preparing something, and the king had been dealing with political affairs.

Muying began to think about how to go to the collection room.

Although she knew the magic mirror was in the collection room, she still didn't know where the collection room was.

In order not to interfere rashly and affect the development of the story before she understood the ins and outs of the story, she had to choose this restrained approach.

Before she could figure out the location of the collection room, the queen rode out of the palace.

The queen rode out of the palace alone in the early morning without anyone else.

But behind her, the king's bodyguard followed from a distance.

Muying heard last night that the king personally sent his captain of the guard to follow the queen and asked him to supervise the queen.

Muying temporarily gave up her affairs in the palace and followed the queen.

The queen followed the guidance of the magic mirror and found the dwarfs' home. That day happened to be when the dwarfs went to the village for supplies, and Bai Xue stayed alone in the cabin.

Before approaching the cabin, the queen first took out a small crystal bottle, uncorked it, and drank it.

Then her appearance began to age visibly to the naked eye, and she turned into an old woman within a few minutes.

Muying could see clearly that the small crystal bottle contained the aging potion.

Nowadays, many witches use this potion as a disguise potion to hide their identity by aging their appearance.

The queen's appearance also confirmed her guess.

However, the queen is just an ordinary human being, not a witch. She is most likely connected to the witch, so she can get the magic potion.

When she got older, she carried a basket and led the horse to the cabin: "Lovely girl, do you want to buy apples? There are red and fragrant apples! Take one and try it first?"

Snow White hasn't seen anyone else for a while. The life in the forest is peaceful and quiet, but it's a bit boring after all.

When I saw a kind-faced old woman selling apples, I shouted happily: "Wow! These red apples are so cute, they must be delicious!"

The queen handed the biggest and reddest apple to Bai Xue.

Bai Xue took a bite and fell to the ground.

The queen laughed: "Haha! I am the most beautiful person in the world!"

Then she took the poison apple back from Bai Xue's hand, turned sideways and lowered her head, using the cover of her long hair and cloak, she whispered: "Bai Xue, falling asleep is better than dying. I can only help you get there."

Here it is.”

If it weren't for the ear beans that Muying put on the queen, Muying wouldn't have been able to hear the last words even a few meters above her head.

The previous words he said about someone who was obsessed with beauty like a madman echoed in the valley.

Obviously the first sentence was said intentionally for others to hear, while the latter sentence was what she really meant.

Who are you telling this to? Muying knows very well that the captain of the guard who was sent by the king to keep an eye on her is also hiding in the valley, watching every move of the queen!

Bai Xue is now lying on the ground with no trace of his identity, his lips are red, and he is not breathing at all. He looks like he is dead.

After the queen left, the captain of the guard came to check and take a breath.

After the captain of the guard also left, Muying came down to check, and used a vine to take a sample from the piece of apple stuck in Bai Xue's throat.

This apple was originally soaked in the potion of suspended animation. Bai Xue is indeed fine now, but has fallen into a state of suspended animation. As long as this piece of apple is taken out, she can come back to life.

However, Muying didn't mind her own business and became a "good person". After finding out what happened to the poisonous apple, she took a flying carpet and chased the queen.

The queen's treatment of Bai Xue was obviously not as vicious as Bai Xue thought.

She spoke so quietly at that time, and even turned her back to the direction of the captain of the guard, obviously not wanting others to hear her.

This kind of private and confidential words is much more credible than those that are widely advertised.

"It's better to fall asleep than die. Does anyone want Bai Xue to die?"

Muying thought.

Although the queen is the successor, she gave birth to a little prince. He is the only crown prince of the Rose Kingdom, so the queen's status should be very high.

Who could let her use such a roundabout way to save Bai Xue's life?

One answer is readily available: King.

The direction of this story is getting more and more confusing.

How could the king kill his own daughter?

Judging from Bai Xue's name, we know that she was still very favored when she was born. Even if there is a little prince later and the king loses his preference for her, Bai Xue will not be killed!

If a king wants to kill a daughter, either the daughter is not his biological daughter, or there are huge benefits to killing her.

After the queen returned to the palace, she immediately went to the collection room.

"Magic Mirror, am I the most beautiful person in the world now?"

"Yes, Your Highness the Queen."

At the same time, the king received the captain of the guard.

"How is it? Is Bai Xue dead?"

"My subordinates have confirmed that the princess is not breathing. She is very peaceful and does not seem to be in any pain."

"This is the last thing she does for this country!"

…

When Mu Ying heard this, why did it seem that Bai Xue's death would be beneficial to the country?

Then the king went to see the queen.

"Are things going well?" Muying heard the king ask.

"It went very well. Bai Xue ate the apple and died without any pain. The prophecy must have been cracked," the queen replied.

…

Muying now understood that the crux of the matter should lie in this prophecy.

Late at night, the king went to the collection room again.

"Magic Mirror, has the prophecy been lifted?"

"It is lifted, my lord."

Muying remembered what Bai Xue said about the magic mirror occasionally making prophecies.

Could this prophecy be made by a magic mirror?

I’ll post one chapter first, and I’ll see if I can code out the remaining chapter tonight.
Chapter completed!
