Chapter 190 Drugging Li Nanke to Make Her Look Ugly
As Wang Tongyun spoke, she secretly winked at Li Nanke.
Li Nanke looked at her with a smile.
Although Wang Tongyun appears carefree on the surface, she is actually very thoughtful.
Making demands for Xue Ting and the others to apologize might be childish banter, but actually forcing them to kneel down, especially in the palace, would be putting them on the line!
Therefore, Wang Tongyun took the initiative.
Xue Ting was so angry that she opened her mouth to curse back, but remembering Empress Xue's instructions, she held back, her face turning as purple as an eggplant.
"I am indeed here to apologize. My aunt, the Queen, has already reprimanded me."
She turned to look at Zhao Wanqing.
Zhao Wanqing understood, placed the tea tray on the table, and personally poured a cup of tea for Xue Ting.
Xue Ting handed the tea to Li Nanke with both hands, her face showing a guilty expression.
He curtsied and said, "Miss Li, I was wrong today. I'm offering you tea as an apology. Please drink this cup of tea, and we'll let bygones be bygones."
Li Nanke's gaze fell on the teacup she was holding, but he did not take the tea.
The plain blue teacup, clear after the rain, showed no signs of anything amiss.
Xue Ting held the tea, looking aggrieved.
"Miss Li refused to accept my tea; it seems she's still angry with me."
Zhao Wanqing stepped forward and helped persuade Li Nanke.
"Cousin Ke'er, please drink this cup of tea. Miss Xue has already sincerely apologized to you in front of so many people."
Cousin, you've always been kind-hearted, you wouldn't blame Miss Xue, right?
Li Nanke frowned.
"According to my cousin, if I don't accept the tea, it means I'm not kind-hearted?"
Zhao Wanqing's face flushed red, and she looked embarrassed.
"Cousin, that's not what I meant. It's just that Miss Xue has been so sincere. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to still act so high and mighty?"
Wang Tongyun chuckled.
"What a joke! Does she think she's being sincere by bringing over a cup of tea out of the blue? Who knows if her tea is clean or even edible?"
Zhao Wanqing's expression changed slightly, and she hurriedly explained.
"This tea is the fruit tea we usually drink. It was brewed by me... Miss Xue San herself. I was watching from the side at the time."
Cousin Ke'er, if you don't want to forgive, just say so. Why make excuses? My aunt always says how wonderful my cousin is, but I never expected her to be such a petty person.
"Even someone of Miss Xue's noble status is willing to apologize to you, and you still..."
As Zhao Wanqing spoke, her eyes reddened, and she looked as if she was standing up for Xue Ting.
"Wanqing, please stop talking. I was wrong just now. It's normal for Miss Li and Miss Wang to suspect me."
Xue Ting, with a restrained expression, stood up straight and drank the fruit tea in her hand in one gulp.
Then he pointed the teacup at Li Nanke and smiled slightly.
"I'll drink this cup of tea. Surely Miss Li will believe in my sincerity now?"
Li Nanke smiled slightly.
"My father told me before I left home that I should always be wary of others. I'm timid, so I'm being cautious."
Xue Ting puffed out her cheeks in anger, then quickly pulled them back in.
I placed the teacup on the tray, picked up the teacup next to it, and poured myself another cup of tea.
He bowed once again to Li Nanke.
"Miss Li, please have some tea."
Li Nanke reached out and took the fruit tea.
Wang Tongyun pulled Li Nanke aside and whispered, "Ke'er, you really drank it? What if..."
Li Nanke shook his head, then smiled slightly at Xue Ting.
"Since Miss Xue drank it, there must be nothing wrong with this fruit tea, right?"
Xue Ting grinned, but her smile seemed a little unnatural.
"Of course... I just drank it all."
Li Nanke held the teacup and sipped it slowly.
Xue Ting watched as Li Nanke finished his cup of tea, and the smile in her eyes could no longer be suppressed; it almost overflowed.
My aunt was right about everything!
My aunt said that Li Nanke was cunning and deep-thinking, and that he would definitely not drink the first cup of tea.
So she drank the first cup first, and then poured tea for Li Nanke in another cup.
My aunt had already arranged for someone to soak the second cup in strong croton water, so Li Nanke finished the whole cup of tea.
Even if Li Nanke only drinks two sips, it will still cause her severe diarrhea later.
Just thinking about how Li Nanke would lose control and have diarrhea during the game of pitch-pot, making a complete fool of himself, made Xue Ting want to jump up and laugh out loud.
She will take revenge on Li Nanke for the injustice she suffered today!
Li Nanke turned around, placed the teacup back on the tray, and suddenly swayed, pressing his hand on the table.
"Ke'er, are you alright?"
Wang Tongyun stepped forward and helped her up.
Li Nanke touched her stomach and frowned, saying, "It's nothing, I just feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach."
Wang Tongyun: "Could it be that you ate something unsuitable for lunch?"
Li Nanke straightened up and rubbed his stomach again.
"I just feel a little bloated, but it's okay, I'll walk around a bit more later."
Xue Ting's eyes sparkled, and she could hardly contain her anticipation.
I didn't expect a response so quickly.
Moving around more is good; the more you move, the faster you'll have diarrhea!
Xue Ting offered, "How about I accompany Miss Li for a walk?"
"Okay, but we'll have to wait a bit."
Li Nanke readily agreed, and then poured himself another cup of tea using the same teacup Xue Ting had just drunk from.
He presented it to Xue Ting with both hands.
"I also apologize to Miss Xue. I said something inappropriate just now. Please forgive me!"
Xue Ting hesitated for a moment.
A hint of sadness appeared on Li Nanke's fair face.
"I sincerely apologize to Miss Xue. If Miss Xue refuses to drink the tea, does that mean she won't forgive me?"
Xue Ting...
These were all things she and Zhao Wanqing had just said, and Li Nanke returned them verbatim.
She couldn't refuse, so she carefully examined the tray and made sure that Li Nanke had used the teacup she had just drunk from before taking the teacup.
He drank the tea in one gulp, then affectionately pulled Li Nanke along.
"Let's go, we're going to play pitch-pot in the courtyard later. I heard His Majesty is coming too. I'll accompany you for a walk in the courtyard first."
Li Nanke did not break free and let her pull him away.
"Ke'er, wait for me!"
Wang Tongyun shouted and chased after him, taking Li Nanke's other arm and glaring at Xue Ting.
"Let me tell you, Xue San, I am Ke'er's best friend."
Xue Ting pouted.
"Okay, you'd better get it. Alright? Can you leave now?"
The three little girls walked out bickering.
Zhao Wanqing clenched her hands and realized that everyone else had followed her out, leaving her alone in the hall.
She bit her lip, her eyes welling up with tears of grievance.
She helped Miss Xue make tea, thinking that Miss Xue would be more friendly to her, but when she left, she didn't even glance at her.
Zhao Wanqing took a deep breath and quickly chased after her.
Li Nanke and Xue Ting walked around the yard three times. Several times, Li Nanke stopped and rubbed his stomach, as if he was very uncomfortable.
Each time she massaged him, Xue Ting's eyes brightened a little more.
It looks like the medicine is starting to take effect, that's great!
Li Nanke will definitely make a complete fool of himself in a moment!
Xue Ting couldn't help but laugh out loud, when suddenly a sharp pain in her abdomen struck her...
