"What does the prince want from this slave?" she asked with her heart skipping a beat.
"Find a way to become Su Buqing's concubine, and then alienate the relationship between father and son, and protect the third lady." Xuanyuan Qilin had this plan when he raised Liu Piao'er, and now it would be even better if he could help Su Yueming.
"Your Majesty..." Liu Piao'er was speechless immediately. She tried hard to forget the fact that she was once a fireworks woman, but he didn't expect that in his mind, she had always been the dirty woman who made fun of herself.
Hahaha, she nodded at that time, but laughed silently and burst into tears. The resentment towards Su Yueming in her heart gradually took root and sprouted like a seed that fell to the ground.
She couldn't figure it out. The third lady said she wanted to find a good future for her, but she clearly knew that she was in love with the seventh prince, so why didn't she want to help her?
She began to feel that the third lady's feelings for her might be false.
One day, while she was hiding in the rockery in the back garden and burning a love poem she had written for Xuanyuan Qilin, she was caught by the eldest lady. It turned out that the eldest lady had sent someone to follow her and found out that she was in love with the Seventh Prince.
, so he tried to alienate her and Su Yueming.
In the end, she obeyed the eldest lady's instructions and pushed Mrs. Jiang down into the pool. However, she did not expect that after this push, Mrs. Jiang never got up again.
"Aren't you afraid that I will tell Miss Third and the Prime Minister the truth of the matter?" Liu Piao'er's weak voice sounded completely powerless in front of the First Lady.
"Tell them that you murdered the third lady?" A deep smile appeared on the eldest lady's face, she blinked and asked.
"You..." Liu Piao'er was shocked to realize that she had fallen into a huge trap, but it seemed that it was already too late.
The eldest lady said with a serious face——
"Piao'er, you are the real murderer of the third lady. If the prime minister and the old lady find out, do you think you will still have a chance to survive?"
Liu Piao'er's face suddenly turned pale, her body softened, and she took two steps back, trembling all over and her eyes were dull.
"If you want to save your life, then do as I say, otherwise..." The eldest lady's stern eyes flashed, and a ray of cold light cut open Liu Piao'er's heart like a blade, "You have committed a heinous crime in plotting to kill your master.
The head fell to the ground and the body was divided into pieces by five horses!"
Hearing this, Liu Piao'er was startled and broke into a cold sweat. Only then did she realize that she had stepped into the chess game carefully arranged by the eldest lady and became a pawn at the mercy of others. It was too late.
Jiang's funeral was held in a dignified and smooth manner. No one delved into the cause of her death because Su Buqing had already said that the third lady died in an accident.
Su Zikang, who lost his parents, returned to the old lady to raise him, and the Prime Minister's Mansion seemed to have returned to peace.
Half a month later.
According to Su Buqing's instructions, the eldest lady began to prepare the old lady's 80th birthday banquet, which will be a grand event in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
*
On the seventh day of the lunar month, East Palace.
The prince sat in front of the case, wearing the white fox fur robe. Su Yueming stood beside him as usual, silently studying ink for him, and his expression was more dignified than usual.
Doctor Wang knelt down and took the prince's pulse.
"Mr. Wang, after drinking your medicine, my vertigo has not improved. Instead, it has become more serious. I have been feeling dizzy when I woke up in the morning these past two days." The prince's eyes fell on the covered face of Dr. Wang.
He asked casually on his face that had experienced the vicissitudes of time.
After hearing this, Dr. Wang immediately knelt down in fear and said -
"Death for my humble job, I couldn't cure His Highness in one fell swoop. However, Your Highness's vertigo has been suffering for more than ten years and has a deep foundation. It cannot be completely cured overnight. According to the pulse diagnosis just made by Humble, His Highness's dizziness has worsened in the morning in the past two days, which is due to overwork."
Therefore, I hope that His Highness can take more rest, and I will prescribe two more medicines for concentration and tranquility for Your Highness to take."
