Pregnant women cannot drink alcohol, so the smell of alcohol was definitely not picked up by Qin Yurong when she drank.
Qin Yurong's expression had completely changed compared to when she came. Her eyebrows and eyes were filled with joy, which she could not hide.
Jiang Qingyao was quite sensitive to smells, and even though Qin Yurong used incense to cover it up, she could still smell it.
Jiang Qingyao remained silent, but her eyes swept through the crowd, and she actually discovered something.
The person Qin Yurong was trying to win over today turned out to be him.
Compared to Qin Yurong's cautiousness, the other party was much more blatant, his eyes almost glued to Qin Yurong, unable to conceal his lust.
Jiang Qingyao sighed, Qin Yurong still had some skills, but her hopes would soon be dashed.
Rely on mountains and they will fall; rely on people and they will run away.
As night fell, they returned to the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion.
After taking a bath, Jiang Qingyao went to bed to rest, and what happened during the day gradually faded from her mind.
I wonder what the Marquis is doing right now? Is he discussing matters with others?
How is the progress of my third cousin’s search for the Medical Saint?
Jiang Qingyao thought that after finishing her current tasks, she should go to Runan.
As I was thinking, I fell asleep without realizing it.
Yingri Palace, bedroom.
"ah!"
“It hurts so much!”
"Quick, call the imperial physician for me!"
Concubine Qiao covered her abdomen, her body trembling violently, and she suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood!
She screamed and struggled and fell off the couch, her face pale as a trace of blood.
"Oh no, oh no, Concubine Qiao has suddenly fallen ill!" The palace maids were in chaos, all frightened by the sight of Concubine Qiao vomiting blood.
Concubine Qiao rolled on the ground in pain.
What happened to her? Why did she become like this after returning from the palace banquet?
"The Queen...it's the Queen..."
When her mind was in a mess, Concubine Qiao actually suspected that the Queen had poisoned her.
“Ahhh…”
"Imperial Physician, please call the Imperial Physician to save me."
After howling a few times, before the imperial physician arrived, Concubine Qiao's eyes rolled back and she fainted from the pain.
The palace was very lively that night.
The prince captured two palace maids from that group. Among them, he caught the one who had hidden poison between her teeth in Qingfeng Pavilion. He bit through the poison sac and the woman died in the blink of an eye.
Let them have no way to judge.
The other palace maid was doing the job purely for pay and had no idea who was the mastermind behind the scenes. The person who bribed her was found out to be an inconspicuous businessman.
Before the prince ordered his men to torture him, the merchant confessed. His statement was almost the same as the palace maid's, that he was also bribed and he had never even seen the true face of his employer.
The clue was cut off just like that.
Aide: "Your Highness, the person behind this is extremely cautious. This is definitely not a spur-of-the-moment act. They must have been planning this for a long time, waiting for the Queen's birthday banquet to unfold."
The Crown Prince said in a deep voice, "I said I would give an explanation to the wife of the Marquis of Anguo after the palace banquet. Now it seems that we won't be able to find the person behind this for a while."
His expression grew serious. "The wife of the Marquis of Anguo said that Concubine Qiao was responsible for this. Without any concrete evidence, we can't do anything to Concubine Qiao."
"The teacher was out on business, and his wife almost got into trouble at the Queen Mother's birthday party. It was all my negligence."
Aide: "Your Highness, don't worry. If Concubine Qiao's plan fails, she will definitely be unwilling to give up and will reveal her true intentions later."
The prince lowered his eyes, "If the teacher were here, what would he do?"
Will the Marquis of Anguo choose to lie low and wait for the enemy to make another move, or...
He knew that He Zheng would only hold the right to choose in his hands. If there was no opportunity, he would create that opportunity and kill the enemy with one blow!
The prince shook his head and said in a low voice, "This is where I am inferior to my teacher."
Soon, the prince told the queen about this.
The two palace maids were both from the Queen's palace. If Concubine Qiao succeeded in her plan and harmed Jiang Qingyao, it would be the Queen's fault.
Kill two birds with one stone.
Fortunately, Jiang Qingyao was alert and resolved the crisis.
Upon learning of this, the queen showed anger on her face, but quickly suppressed it.
"How dare Concubine Qiao be so presumptuous as to harm others right under my nose."
There was a chill in her eyes, and she suddenly turned around and said, "It's time to clean up those servants in my palace."
That night, the Queen ordered the nanny beside her to take charge of the matter and punished many palace maids. For a time, there was panic and everyone was on edge.
However, there was one thing that was beyond their expectations.
Concubine Qiao suddenly fell ill late at night, vomited blood and fell into a coma. The imperial physician could not find the cause of her illness. It did not seem like poisoning, but she was tortured to death.
The Queen was a little surprised, "Pretending to be sick?"
If Concubine Qiao really had something in their hands, and she was worried that His Majesty would blame her for pretending to be sick to gain sympathy, that would be understandable.
But they didn't have any evidence against Concubine Qiao, so there was no need for her to do this.
When the news spread to various palaces, most of the masters sneered, thinking that it was just a show for Concubine Qiao to compete for favor.
Now that Prince An is deposed, Concubine Qiao must firmly grasp His Majesty's heart and act pitifully to gain some sympathy from His Majesty. Otherwise, when more princes and princesses are born, Concubine Qiao's situation will only get worse.
Concubine Li: "Faking illness? Concubine Qiao cherishes herself so much, how could she be willing to spit out blood? If you say she is faking illness, it's too much."
As she spoke, she was busy with her needlework. "Look, she provoked someone, and the prey bit her back."
"Even a rabbit will bite when it's anxious. If that wasn't a rabbit, I'm afraid Concubine Qiao would be in even greater trouble."
…
The next day, in the study of Anguo Marquis Mansion.
Jiang Qingyao received the letter from the prince. After a moment of silence, she placed the letter in the brazier and set it on fire.
"This time, Concubine Qiao was impeccable, like a slippery fish, and she actually escaped."
