Chapter 28 Poisonous Wine Wood Spirit Heart-Changing Pot
The solitary lamp is like a bean, illuminating three faces.
Qu Linglong complained again: "Aunt Hu, Aunt Ma, can you two tell me what I should do?
Then Xue Hengzhao must hate me so much. If you two are still trying to dodge, I'm afraid she will take revenge from her sooner or later."
"What? Are you scared?" Nanny Hu's old eyes seemed to be brighter than the lamp on the table.
"Look what you said, if she, Xue Heng, takes photos of me, I certainly won't be afraid. But now someone is supporting her." Qu Linglong said, "I'm not afraid."
"Godmother, I told you during the day, it was the prince who sent her back.
I went back and asked someone to take a look, and the lock in the cold room was cut off. It was probably the prince's doing." Aunt Ma said, "Now it does seem to be a bit tricky."
"That's right." Aunt Hu nodded, "It stands to reason that she should be tortured for a while. But she was originally lent to us, and now that someone is making the decision for her, we can't come here clearly.
."
Qu Linglong heard that there was something in what Nanny Hu said, and hurriedly said: "Nanny, you can't tell me to come in the open, so how can I plot against her?"
"You're not that stupid yet." Aunt Hu smiled, "I'd better leave this matter to you. Once it's done, it will benefit you."
When Qu Linglong heard this, she hesitated and said, "It is my blessing to be able to do things for my grandma and aunt. But we have already fallen out with each other, and now she is wary of me everywhere.
I'm afraid that if I make the slightest move, she will become alert. It won't be easy!"
In addition to this reason, Qu Linglong is also afraid that Yu Guming will settle the score with her.
When the time comes, Aunt Hu and Aunt Ma will definitely push themselves out, and they will never be able to protect her anymore.
"You can think of it, can't Mommy not think of it?" Aunt Ma interrupted her with some displeasure, "Don't think that you can get away with it if you stop now."
When she said this, Qu Linglong was immediately frightened and dared not speak.
Aunt Hu said: "Don't worry, I have already figured out the plan. Come here and I will tell you."
Qu Linglong hurriedly moved forward.
Aunt Hu said in a low voice: "When you go back, you should act like you are regretful and scared, and make some small gestures to the man named Xue, so that everyone will think that you intend to bridge the relationship between them.
After that, I will arrange separate accommodation for Xue Hengzhao and Chi Su as soon as possible. On the surface, I will give them preferential treatment, but in fact, it will relax their guard and give you an opportunity."
Then he took out a small white porcelain bottle from under the table, wrapped it in red cloth and plugged the mouth of the bottle with a cork.
"The stuff in this porcelain bottle is called wood spirit. It smells and tastes similar to spirits. But as long as you drink a small glass, you will be completely drunk and no gods can save you.
Here is a revolving pot. You put wine in one half, put the wood essence in the other half, and add some water.
Wait until New Year's Eve, so you don't have to rush to work at night. So you go to them with wine and food, saying it's to apologize or to keep the New Year together, and coax them to drink it."
Because of Yu Guming's appearance, Hu and others realized that they needed to get rid of Xue Hengzhao as soon as possible, and at the same time, Chi Su could not survive.
"Then... then they two will be drunk by then, so they will naturally know that I made them drink." Qu Linglong said hesitantly, "The prince must be suspicious of me."
"Listen to what I have to say. I will arrange for you to guard the warehouse on that day. Everyone knows that you are going to guard the warehouse, so how can they be suspicious of you!
I will arrange the two of them to live in a more remote place so that no one will find them." Aunt Hu said.
"Don't worry, Crown Prince Yu will not be on duty in the palace from New Year's Eve to the third day of the Lunar New Year. If the two of them die and they are dragged out in a roll of tattered mats, who will hold them accountable?" Aunt Ma also reassured her, "Throw them outside in the wasteland.
It has been chewed by dogs for a long time. Can you identify who is who?"
"It's too late for you to retreat now," Nanny Hu sneered, "If that girl really gets involved with the prince, you will suffer the consequences. If you don't believe me, just watch!"
"In that case, can you arrange for me and Liu Xianghuan to guard the warehouse together?" Qu Linglong thought about the matter several times in her mind and came up with a way to escape herself. "Xue Hengzhao and Chi Su usually work with her.
It's not bad. If I went alone, I'm afraid they wouldn't let me in."
"You mean to let Liu Xianghuan be your scapegoat? The three of them will be drunk to death by then. You can wipe away the traces..." Aunt Ma understood.
Qu Linglong blushed: "I wonder what you two think?"
Both Aunt Hu and Aunt Ma knew that this meant another innocent life would be lost.
But since they have to work for Manager Zhou, it doesn't matter if one more palace maid dies.
"What you said makes some sense. If that's the case, let's do as you say! I'll get you another wine pot. Don't forget to take the heart-turning pot with you when the time comes. Don't leave any traces. This bottle of wood
The fine gold is precious, so be sure to put it away. Aunt Hu raised her hand, indicating that Qu Linglong could leave.
Aunt Ma found a bundle and asked Qu Linglong to wrap the heart-turning pot.
The porcelain bottle containing wood essence was afraid of being bumped, so Qu Linglong hid it close to her body.
Xue Hengzhao and the others crowded into a room with more than a dozen people, which was almost the same as when they first entered the palace.
Qu Linglong and the others lived in a slightly better place. There were four people in a small room, and even though they were only separated by thin boards, it was still much better.
Qu Linglong would never come here normally, but she came here today.
As soon as I entered the door, I smiled at everyone, and I was much kinder than usual.
Xue Hengzhao sat there without even raising his eyelids.
Qu Linglong came over to chat with someone and said, "Miss Xue, I just came from the kitchen. I specially got some freshly baked shortcakes for you."
He said and handed over the shortbread wrapped in a handkerchief.
But Chi Su knocked it away: "Take this thing farther away, who knows if there is poison in it?!"
Qu Linglong was not annoyed, she still smiled and said: "Look at what you said, how could I have the courage? Besides, how could anyone poison someone in public?"
It was not strange for everyone to see her like this, after all, many of them were also deliberately trying to please Xue Hengzhao.
Because Yu Guming’s background is so great, if he really falls in love with Xue Hengzhao, he might be able to bring the Xue family back to Beijing!
Even if this is a delusion, you can still get a lot of benefits in the palace.
If Qu Linglong continues to be as tit-for-tat as before, I'm afraid there will be no good fruit left.
"You gave me this cake, are you trying to make amends with me?" Xue Hengzhao looked at her and asked.
"That would be great if you said it. It was my fault in the past. You, the master, don't remember the faults of others." Qu Linglong said hurriedly, "I won't dare to do it again in the future."
"You can be said to be flexible and flexible, but I don't know if you are sincere or not?" Xue Hengzhao smiled.
"Of course I'm sincere, I swear to God." Qu Linglong said seriously.
"Then don't leave tonight. How about you stay and take care of me?" Xue Hengzhao said, "You also know that I froze all day yesterday and I'm still feeling a little uncomfortable now."
