"When will your young master come!" The woman in black robe and mask had exhausted all her patience.
Ning Wu, who was wearing a dark and strange smiling face mask, patiently reassured: "Don't worry, girl, our young master will definitely see you if he says he wants to see you."
He was also anxious, this was a big deal.
The other party specified that he would talk to the young master in person, and the young master also agreed to come, but now he is actually late.
The young master is so unreliable sometimes!
The woman sneered: "Master of the Punishment of Evil Hall, do you think I am worried about finding the killer with the money? Your young master of the Xuanji Pavilion can't even keep time, how can I expect him to get things done?"
"Why do you need to speak so harshly, girl? Your target must be very difficult to kill, otherwise we wouldn't ask our young master to come forward in person. Moreover, I also told you that I can decide this business, but you are not willing to agree with me.
Let’s talk below.”
"You're not qualified yet." The woman didn't want to give him any face at this moment.
Ning Wu wasn't angry either. A big deal was no small matter. He didn't even know who the other party wanted to kill, so of course he couldn't offend the other party.
Ning Wu continued to be pleasant: "Since the girl is determined, why not go back and rest first? I will tell the young master when I see him. When the young master replies, how about I contact you personally?"
The woman thought about it and decided that she could only do this first.
"I hope the young master of Xuanji Pavilion will not be late next time!"
"Absolutely." Ning Wu said to the woman's back. No matter how friendly his voice was, the black mask with a strange smile on his face still made him look sinister and mysterious.
When the woman disappeared, the smile in his eyes was gone.
"When did such a woman appear in Kyoto, you don't know anything about it!" A figure suddenly appeared in the darkness, and he knelt down in excitement: "I will go and investigate right now."
Early the next morning, Su Qing got up softly. After washing her face, she was still listless. She sat in front of the bronze mirror and traced her eyebrows all day long.
"The princess didn't take a rest last night to take care of the prince, okay? I knew earlier that I would have let the servants wait in the house. You look so bad, please put on some powder." Qing'er handed over the gouache.
Su Qing didn't get enough rest. She barely squinted for a while after dawn.
She was used to sleeping alone, but suddenly there was someone beside her, and she couldn't sleep.
But when she heard the words "serve in the room", Su Qing thought: "By the way, you don't have to come in and clean up the back room. The prince doesn't like servants entering the back room. You can tell Chunlan, Xia Zhu and Qiu later."
Ju, Dongmei and the four of them."
Su Qinggui is the princess, and the maidservants from the Duke's Mansion who came with her to accompany her are of course not only Qing'er and Mingyue, but Spring Warm Winter Branches, Ningxia Yuqiu, etc. were also served in her courtyard before.
Qing'er nodded in understanding, and then asked: "Then who will clean up the inner room in the future?"
Bailiyu happened to walk in at this moment, Su Qing looked over and said: "He will take care of it."
"What are you packing?" Bailiyu didn't know what the master and servant were talking about, so he naturally went over to fold the quilt on the bed.
His movements were skillful, and it was obvious that he had done these things himself before.
Su Qing looked at him and sighed again. This person's good looks are really an advantage. The way he folds a quilt is so pleasing to the eye: "It's nothing. A Yu, can you cook?"
"No." Baili Yu turned around and glanced at her subtly: "I don't plan to learn either."
Su Qing's mouth twitched.
Seeing how homely he looked, she just asked out of curiosity, and she didn't say that she wanted him to cook in the future.
Su Qing stood up and said, "I've packed up, can I go?"
Today I have to go into the palace to express my gratitude, and I have to serve tea in front of Queen Liu.
"Yeah." He has already arranged the carriage.
"Let Rong'er follow me, Qing'er, you put things away at home." As he spoke, Su Qing saw the rouge and gouache on her dressing table and looked at Baili Yu, "You want to pack these too?"
"Um."
Su Qing was delighted: "Then who will sweep the land from now on?"
"I."
"Who cleans the table?"
"I."
"Do you have so much time to do housework every day?" Su Qing was very doubtful.
Bailiyu lowered his eyes and looked at her. He was a head taller than her, and he felt a bit condescending: "I don't like others to be active in my house when I'm not around. It doesn't mean that I don't let servants in at any time."
"Then you answered without thinking. I thought you really cleaned the house by yourself every day."
Su Qing conveyed Bailiyu's meaning to Qing'er again, and while talking, the couple walked to the gate.
The driver was a servant in the yard. Su Qing asked his name and found out that his name was Ning Yi.
"Are there any other brothers in your family?" Su Qing looked at Ning Yi and asked.
Ning Yi lowered his head respectfully: "Back to the princess, this servant is the only son in the family, and the prince got his name."
Bai Liyu disliked her talking too much, so he pushed her into the carriage and interrupted: "Ning one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, it's easy to remember."
This name comes from...
Su Qing glanced at him speechlessly: "You really save trouble."
In the palace, Emperor Yihong was still in the previous court and had not returned. They went directly to Queen Liu's palace. Emperor Yihong would naturally come back after he went to court.
But when I arrived at Queen Liu's palace, I realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
Eunuch Liu, who was beside Queen Liu, was also from the Liu family. He had been waiting outside the door for a long time, and he saw Su Qing and the others all the way away.
Go in quickly and report to Queen Liu.
Su Qing followed Eunuch Liu into Fengqi Palace. Su Qing bowed and began to serve tea to Queen Liu.
"What are you doing standing still? Why don't you bring a mat to the third princess? The ground is cold. If this freezes the third princess's knees, can you afford it?"
Su Qing frowned, the sun came out in the west today? Why did Queen Liu suddenly change her gender?
The maid caught Empress Liu's look and took a golden ball mat and spread it on the ground.
Although Su Qing was confused, she couldn't see anything wrong.
After she knelt down, she realized that the soft cushion was filled with fine silver needles. The silver needles pierced into her knees, causing her to break into a cold sweat.
Bailiyu noticed Su Qing's strange behavior and immediately understood that there was something wrong with the mat.
Su Qing shook her head at Bai Liyu in a subtle way, quietly took out the anesthetic from her sleeve, and drank it while Empress Liu was not paying attention.
At the same time, there was a layer of poison on her fingertips. When she was holding the teacup, she found an opportunity to smear the poison on the mouth of the cup. As long as Empress Liu drank the cup of tea she offered, she would definitely be poisoned.
The toxicity of the poison is very slow. There are no symptoms for the first three months of poisoning, and symptoms will not appear until three months later.
Su Qing lost feeling in her legs after taking the anesthetic, but it would take some time for the anesthetic to numb her whole body.
"Mother, please drink tea." Su Qing said with a pained face.
Queen Liu wanted to punish her, so she would use her trick to give her a big gift in return.
Seeing the pain on Su Qing's face, Empress Liu suddenly felt very good. She took Su Qing's tea and took a sip.
He put it aside, and just as he was about to speak, Emperor Yihong came over.
Su Qing then served tea to Emperor Yihong, "Father, please have tea."
"Okay, okay!" Emperor Yihong said "good" three times in a row. It can be seen that he is in a good mood today.
As soon as Emperor Yihong took the tea cup, Su Qing's body fell softly to the ground with a pop.
