In her past life, her father was murdered, her mother was imprisoned, her brother was violated, and her son had his heart gouged out. Su Xuening feigned madness her entire life but still couldn'...
Seeing that Green Lotus dared to swear a poisonous oath, Su Feiling no longer doubted her.
So it seems that Su Xuening was unaware of her secret, but simply felt that she had gained the upper hand by kneeling down, and thus left smugly.
What a shallow woman!
Su Feiling's tense heart finally relaxed, and her sharp gaze swept over Green Lotus again: "I have another question for you. Did you administer the drug I asked you to give Su Xuening?"
Without a second thought, Green Lotus replied, "Of course I put it in. I did as you requested and put it in the incense burner in Miss's room."
Su Feiling snorted coldly and narrowed her eyes, saying, "It was put in the incense burner? But Su Xuening didn't take any medicine at all!"
Green Lotus looked up in shock: "Miss didn't take the medicine? How is that possible? When you and Fourth Miss took her away, she clearly looked like she had already been drugged. You personally took her away, have you forgotten?"
Green Lotus's question really stumped Su Feiling.
She and Su Yuxin did indeed take Su Xuening away together, and Su Xuening's condition at the time was indeed that of someone under the influence of aphrodisiacs. She couldn't be mistaken for someone under the influence of aphrodisiacs.
Su Xuening was the kind of beauty that wasn't seductive, but the allure she displayed at that time was something she never usually showed. She remembered that Su Yuxin couldn't help but marvel at how captivating Su Xuening was!
At that time, Su Xuening's condition clearly indicated that she had already taken Chinese medicine, so why did it end up like that?
Seeing Su Feiling's suspicious expression, Green Lotus couldn't help but say aggrievedly, "Miss still doesn't trust me because of the Drunken Harmony incident. If you say now that I didn't give you that drug, then I'll be so wronged!"
When it comes to drugging the young lady, Green Lotus feels incredibly bitter.
If it weren't for this incident, how could she have been treated like this by her mistress? Now, not only is she in a difficult situation, but all her family members are also under her mistress's control, making her dare not have any disloyal thoughts towards her mistress.
If she hadn't been so blinded by greed, wanting to become rich and powerful by following the Second Miss, she would now be a confidante of the Second Miss, just like Bihe.
Looking back on what happened, Su Feiling couldn't really say that Green Lotus hadn't drugged Su Xuening; she probably really had.
but……
Su Feiling stared at Lülian with a gloomy expression: "Since she was indeed poisoned by the Aphrodisiac, why was she still innocent in the end?"
Green Lotus was completely bewildered by the question: "This servant does not know. This servant did indeed administer the medicine to Miss according to your instructions, and you personally gave it to me. This servant does not know how Miss eventually overcame the effects of the medicine?"
She found it strange, too. The young lady was drugged with the aphrodisiac, yet she remained a virgin. She didn't know where things went wrong, but she had definitely administered the drug; otherwise, she wouldn't have ended up in this situation.
Su Feiling couldn't understand why either; it seemed impossible to figure it out from any angle.
"Could it be..." Green Lotus seemed to have thought of something, but looked like she didn't dare to say it.
"What is it?" Su Feiling asked sharply.
Green Lotus asked cautiously, "Could it be that there was a mistake with the medicine you gave me? Did you buy the wrong one? Or was it switched? That wasn't the 'Drunken Aphrodisiac' at all; it was just a regular aphrodisiac?"
Su Feiling suddenly frowned.
It's unlikely that she was switched. Only Bai Qin and Zi Shu know about the Drunken Hehuan incident. They've been with her since childhood and are her most trusted maids. They wouldn't betray her, and they have no reason to change Su Xuening's medicine.
As for buying the wrong medicine? Or buying a fake Acacia confusa, Su Feiling thought of the day she used the leftover Acacia confusa on Jinzhu. She originally wanted to use Jinzhu to test the authenticity of the Acacia confusa, but in the end, that sly fox figured it out. As a result, she still doesn't know whether the Acacia confusa she bought at a high price is real or not!
But now all the evidence seems to prove that the "Drunken Acacia" she bought at great expense was fake. What's worse, the person selling the "Drunken Acacia" was a quack doctor, and she couldn't even find him to settle accounts with!
Su Feiling took a deep breath and said helplessly, "Alright, this matter is over, let's not talk about it for now. You go back and keep an eye on Su Xuening."
There's no point in dwelling on the past. Since the child in Su Xuening's belly really is Xuan Yuanzhan's, she has no more leverage against her.
Therefore, she urgently needs Green Lotus to continue to keep a close eye on Su Xuening and find new leverage against her in order to deal with her!
"Yes," Green Lotus replied respectfully immediately.
Su Feiling stared at the large handprint on Green Lotus's face, frowned, and took out a medicine box from her bosom, tossing it to Green Lotus: "This is the best medicine for wounds. Apply it now, and the wound will be invisible tomorrow."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Without the slightest hesitation, Green Lotus opened the medicine box, scooped out some ointment, and applied it to her face, demonstrating her complete trust in Su Feiling.
Su Feiling was very satisfied with Green Lotus's expression and waved her hand, saying, "Go back."
"This servant takes her leave."
Green Lotus stood up, bowed to Su Feiling, and then turned to leave.
After Green Lotus had gone far away, Su Feiling turned around and secretly entered the palace gate.
Meanwhile, the east side hall of Jingfeng Palace was located at this time.
Zhao Zhenzhen was sleeping soundly when she was suddenly startled awake by a loud noise.
At the same time, Pearl and Agate, who were on night watch, were also startled awake.
"What is it?" Zhao Zhenzhen asked in a panic, lifting the gauze curtain to inquire about the pearls and agates outside.
Pearl and Agate were both startled by the backlit figure at the doorway.
Pearl, while pulling her clothes together, shouted angrily at the figure, "Who are you? How dare you trespass into the Third Prince's Consort's palace!"
Zhao Zhenzhen was also startled by Pearl's words. She instinctively hugged the quilt tightly and looked outside nervously.
Who on earth dares to breathe in her palace in the middle of the night?
The man seemed not to hear Pearl's angry shout and went straight into the house.
"You..." Pearl wanted to curse, but when the silvery moonlight shone on the person's face, Pearl was instantly stunned and speechless: "Your...Your Highness..."
How could it be His Highness?
Since Miss married His Highness, His Highness has never entered Miss's room.
Not only was Pearl stunned, but Agate was also dumbfounded, and even Zhao Zhenzhen on the bed was completely bewildered, her chaotic mind still wondering which prince Pearl was calling for.
Given Xuan Yuan Yu's previous attitude towards her, Zhao Zhenzhen never expected that it would be Xuan Yuan Yu who came.
Even when Xuanyuan Yu stood by the bed and Zhao Zhenzhen could clearly see his face, her mind was still blank: "Your Highness?"
Seeing that Zhao Zhenzhen was covered up so tightly, Xuan Yuan Yu simply pulled off her blanket.
Zhao Zhenzhen was instantly terrified and froze on the spot, unable to move.
Seeing that she didn't move, Xuan Yuan Yu's face suddenly darkened, and he said coldly, "Do I need to teach you how to serve me?"
