Aunt Wang picked him up and ran away.
Gu Chengyan felt a little embarrassed and quickly changed the subject.
"What do you plan to do with your panacea?"
"Chengyan, I'm thinking, is it alright if I give it to your third uncle and aunt?"
"This might be a bit difficult. My third uncle is an extremely shrewd man; he definitely wouldn't eat something of dubious origin."
"What if I tell him it's a tonic, the kind that nourishes the kidneys, replenishes essence, and strengthens yin and yang?"
“Even if you told him it was an elixir of immortality, he wouldn’t eat it.” Gu Chengyan was 100% certain. “Not only would he not eat it, he would also analyze the ingredients inside carefully.”
"That's way too sneaky!"
"Last time, when Third Aunt was sick, that stupid woman Xie Xiangxiang sent her a box of stone frogs. Who knew that Third Aunt had the habit of drinking tea before and after meals? The stone frogs and tea mixed together and produced a deadly poison. Third Aunt vomited, had diarrhea, and developed a high fever. Now, Qingpu Courtyard is like an iron barrel. They won't eat anything you send them, and they won't even let them in the door."
Guan Yingying said angrily, "What about the food from the manor's kitchen? We can't expect them to eat nothing, can we?"
"Yingying, don't even think about messing with Uncle San unless it's absolutely necessary. Uncle San is no ordinary person!"
“But as long as he exists, I can never see the light of day,” Guan Yingying said bitterly. “You want me to be a mistress forever? Like a rat, a bedbug?”
"No, Yingying, as long as you can persuade the Crown Prince to grant a general amnesty after he ascends the throne, you will naturally be able to stand openly in front of others."
Now you want to kill my third uncle? Give me a break! His Majesty values my third uncle so much that he dared to have the entire Marquis's mansion executed and buried with him. He'd rather be the heir apparent than a louse, the kind that dies with a single prick.
Anyway, the Crown Prince will definitely not let his third uncle go. He needs to cling to the Crown Prince's coattails so that he can protect himself when his third uncle is killed!
The Wei family is too powerful; the crown prince's ascension to the throne is a foregone conclusion, so there's no need to waste the precious panacea.
"Thump~"
Suddenly, there was a sound of a stone falling outside. Guan Yingying was startled and immediately ran out. She moved a ladder and looked outside for a while, but she didn't see anyone.
