Fang'er's hands were shaking, and she fell to her knees in fear: "I dare not... I beg you to let me go, Master."
Zhang Yue felt annoyed after hearing this.
She is the master and Fang'er is just a servant. How dare a stupid servant disobey his master?
Zhang Yue slapped Fang'er hard on the face and said impatiently, "Do it secretly, who would know it was you who did it? - Listen, or I'll scratch your face."
Fang'er's cheek was slapped with red marks, and she cried in pain.
I felt more and more resentful towards Zhang Yue.
Fang'er held the packet of rat poison tremblingly, her heart sank. She wiped away her tears and planned to sneak into Fangfei Garden after dark to poison her.
Tonight, Prince Yan had dinner at Shen Wei's place and did not stay overnight. He went to the study to handle official business. The moonlight was slanting, Fang'er hid in the dark and observed Fangfei Garden. At the entrance of Fangfei Garden, two eunuchs took turns guarding at night.
Fang'er waited for a long time. Her ankles and wrists were all red and swollen from mosquito bites, but she still couldn't find a gap to sneak into the yard.
There was no choice but to change her mind and plan to think of a solution in the morning.
After not sleeping well the night before, Fang'er sneaked to Fangfeiyuan again at dawn. Jixiang and Deshun carried buckets and went to the well in the palace to fetch water.
The morning air was crisp and the birds were chirping noisily on the branches. Deshun opened the well lid and put down the bucket to fetch water.
Fang'er took the opportunity to sneak over, forced a smile, and took the initiative to greet: "Jixiang, Deshun, you came to fetch water so early?"
The servants in the mansion knew each other well. Jixiang smiled and said, "It turned out to be Sister Fang'er. Look at the slap marks on your face. Did Master Zhang hit you again?"
Fang'er nodded awkwardly.
Zhang Yue has not completely fallen out of favor yet, so Fang'er dare not resist.
Fang'er deliberately walked forward and looked at the wooden barrel filled with water curiously: "Jixiang, the barrels in your Fangfei Garden are really beautiful——"
Before Fang'er's hand touched the barrel, Deshun rushed over and stopped Fang'er: "Don't get close to the barrel."
Fang Er was startled, and said curiously and aggrievedly: "I'm just taking a look."
Deshun shook his head and said firmly, "You can't get close. My master has ordered that fetching water and delivering food must be watched at all times, and no outsiders are allowed to get close. After all, my master is in favor, and if some brave guy poisons the water, the master doesn't want to be poisoned to death."
Fang'er, who was about to poison, fell silent.
Fang Er didn't know that Shen Wei was extremely cautious in her actions.
The water used in Fangfei Garden must be inspected for poison-free status before it can be consumed. The ingredients brought from the kitchen must be watched by the maids all the way to prevent someone from poisoning the food.
Every five days, Chen Wei would ask the imperial physician to take her pulse, and then ask the imperial physician to check the flowers, plants and trees inside and outside the house to see if there was anything that could harm the human body.
Chen Wei would also send people to check the yard regularly to see if there were any wooden voodoo figurines. After all, in ancient times, witchcraft disasters were particularly likely to implicate the entire family.
In addition, Shen Wei often held meetings with Fangfeiyuan's employees, asking them to be more vigilant, speak carefully, and not let others take advantage of them.
Over time, the eunuchs and maids in Fangfei Garden became as shrewd as foxes.
Eunuch Deshun stared into Fang'er's eyes and said meaningfully, "The prince occasionally drinks the water from Fangfei Garden."
Fang'er was so scared that cold sweat broke out on her back.
Yes, King Yan also drinks water from Fangfei Garden.
If the King of Yan is accidentally poisoned, the entire Rose Garden will probably be buried with him.
Fang'er was angry and hated the brainless Zhang Yue. Zhang Yue does whatever he wants and is simply a fool who doesn't consider the consequences.
Jixiang was so smart that he could see Fang'er's thoughts. He patiently comforted Fang'er, "Servants are also human beings. If the master treats us as human beings, we will be loyal to him. If the master does not treat us as human beings, we will wait for the master to fall and then slowly step on him to death."
Fang'er lowered her head silently without saying a word.
Fang'er failed to complete the poisoning mission and was beaten and scolded by Zhang Yue after returning to the Rose Garden.
As the fight went on, Zhang Yue finally realized how stupid it was to poison Shen Wei.
If the King of Yan was accidentally injured, the consequences would be disastrous.
But seeing Chen Wei so proud of herself, Zhang Yue felt so angry that she had no place to vent. If one plan fails, try another. Zhang Yue rolled her eyes and came up with a new idea targeting Shen Wei.
...
On a cool summer night, Prince Yan went to stay overnight with the princess. Chen Wei was happy and comfortable by herself, doing some aerobics, practicing calligraphy, and applying a facial mask before going to bed. After she was done, she lay down on the big rosewood bed and prepared to sleep.
While sleeping, Shen Wei suddenly heard a sobbing sound.
It seemed like a woman was crying.
"Wow, I'm not willing to give up..."
"I died miserably..."
"I'm so resentful..."
Sobbing, crying, creepy in the summer night. Shen Wei slowly opened her eyes, she looked out the window and saw a white figure flash by.
Like a ghost, like a female ghost.
"Master! Master!" Cailian and Caiping ran in hurriedly, and the two maids were so frightened that their faces turned pale.
Cai Lian said nervously, "Master, there was a strange crying sound in the yard. Jixiang and Deshun are already looking for the source of the sound, you don't have to be afraid."
But Cai Lian discovered that there was no trace of fear on Shen Wei's beautiful face.
There was only impatience on his face at having his sleep disturbed.
Cai Ping was more timid. She said timidly: "Master, I heard that the concubine who used to live in Fangfei Garden drowned herself after she fell out of favor... Although that happened three or four years ago, but..."
Caiping's body trembled slightly and she dared not think about it anymore.
Shen Wei rubbed her brows, she didn't believe there were ghosts in the world, there were only ghosts playing tricks.
