Shen Lingyun lowered his head and tightly clenched his fingers. His eyes were filled with hatred. He never thought his plan would fail.
It seemed that he had to take action against Hua Xue'er.
Finally, Hua Yueye was safe, but Su Qingwen had become listless. She couldn't help thinking that she had really made a great sacrifice for Hua Yueye this time.
She didn't dare to wear the jade pendant on her anymore. Taking an opportunity, she found someone to make an identical one and returned it to Hua Xue'er.
"Xue'er, you'd better take this. I don't want it anymore." Su Qingwen stuffed the pendant into Hua Xue'er's hand as if it were a hot potato and quickly said.
"Really? Since that's the case, I'll keep it myself. I was actually worried when it was with you. What if the jade pendant I gave you got damaged?" Hua Xue'er lovingly stroked the pendant and then took it away.
"Um, do you really think Shen Lingyun is sincere to you?" Ye Jing frowned tightly and asked with a bit of helplessness.
"Of course. He even invited me to stroll in the back garden today. Anyway, he's just extremely nice. I like him so much. Sister-in-law, you're not allowed to say bad things about him anymore." Giving Su Qingwen a warning look, Hua Xue'er immediately pushed the door open and left.
Seeing her so eager, Ye Jing couldn't help shaking her head with a bitter smile.
At this time, Hua Xue'er couldn't wait to quickly reach the back garden. Seeing Shen Lingyun standing there with his back to her, she couldn't help smiling. She walked over and gently patted his shoulder. "Lingyun, have you been waiting for a long time?"
"No." Shen Lingyun shook his head, turned around to look at her, with a hint of coldness in his eyes. Then he took out a packet of medicinal powder from his bosom and handed it to her. "Xue'er, this is called the Soul - Dazing Powder. If you put it in someone's food, it will make them lose consciousness and obediently follow the orders of the person who administers the drug."
"What do you give this to me for?" Hua Xue'er looked at Shen Lingyun in surprise and couldn't help taking a step back, with a hint of panic in her eyes.
"Of course, it's to help you. You know that Gao Quan is a villain. Instead of doing nothing, why don't you drug him?" Shen Lingyun squinted his eyes and said as if bewitching her. "It took a lot of effort to get this. I'm just doing this for you and the emperor so that you can achieve your goals and no longer be threatened by Gao Quan."
"But Gao Quan is a cunning old fox. If I go to do such a thing, isn't it just looking for death?" Hua Xue'er suddenly became smart at this moment. She couldn't help shaking her head secretly, thinking the risk was too great.
"It's okay. As long as you dress up as Concubine Xian, Gao Quan won't dare to do anything to you, right? After all, she is the emperor's favorite concubine now. And after all those things, she's still safe. This time, she will surely be fine too." Shen Lingyun grabbed Hua Xue'er's wrist and kept brainwashing her.
Hearing this, Hua Xue'er frowned slightly and was about to refuse. But for some reason, the man in front of her suddenly raised his arm, and a strange fragrance wafted out. Hua Xue'er felt her head become extremely dizzy and couldn't react to anything. Then she lowered her head and quickly agreed. "Okay, I'll do as you say."
"Xue'er, you're really the best." Shen Lingyun curled his lips, with a hint of malice in his eyes.
Hua Xue'er was like a puppet. She quickly put the medicinal powder on her. First, she changed into a dress similar to Su Qingwen's. Then she entered the imperial kitchen and sprinkled the powder in Gao Quan's food.
Gao Quan was not on guard. Just as he was about to eat, a man suddenly walked in, bent down and whispered in his ear, "It's poisoned." Then he left in a hurry.
"You..." Gao Quan was stunned at first. Then he stretched out his hand, trying to stop the man. But the man was too fast. Before he could say anything, the man had already run out. Looking down at the food on the table, Gao Quan felt a surge of anger in his chest.
"Someone, call the imperial physician!" Gao Quan shouted sharply, and his face suddenly turned extremely pale.
Then he sneered. Good! Someone actually wanted to harm him secretly. He would never let the person who tried to murder him go!
Eunuch Gao was suddenly attacked and poisoned. This was no small matter. After Hua Yueye and Su Qingwen found out, they immediately went to express their condolences.
"Your Majesty, I've already investigated clearly. There are indeed some unclean things in your food. As for what they are, it seems to be a laxative and some other messy poisons. In short, it will make your body abnormal and make you lose your mind."
At this time, an imperial physician came forward to report.
Hearing this, Gao Quan sneered, with hatred in his eyes. Then he slapped the table. "Good! I knew there were people in the palace who didn't like me and wanted to torture me by all means. Who is it?"
Hua Yueye looked at Gao Quan coldly, squinted his eyes and said, "What you said is not right. If you don't do bad things, you don't have to be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door. How could someone harm you for no reason?"
"Who knows? Maybe there's someone secretly against me, Gao Quan." Gao Quan sneered and his eyes involuntarily glanced at Su Qingwen opposite him. "Could it be Concubine Xian? Because of what happened before, you must dislike me. But I didn't expect that you would even resort to poisoning!"
"Hey, do you really have to pour such a big bucket of dirty water on my head?" Su Qingwen was really angry. How ridiculous! He had to pin the blame on her.
"Your Majesty, I just saw a figure very much like Concubine Xian appear around the imperial kitchen." At this time, a little maid lowered her head and said.
"How is that possible?" Su Qingwen widened her eyes, with displeasure in her eyes. Then she gritted her teeth. "Are you sure you saw it right? I've been in my own palace all the time."
How could such an unexpected disaster fall on her in broad daylight?
Su Qingwen's mouth twitched, and she felt her temples throbbing.
"Your Majesty, I didn't see clearly either. It was just that the back and the clothes were very similar to yours." Frightened by Su Qingwen, the little maid's body began to tremble, and tears involuntarily fell from her eyes.
Su Qingwen squinted her eyes. She knew very well what she had done. If she really wanted to poison someone, she wouldn't use such a stupid method. What if she was seen by others?
