Chapter 69: Retribution in This Life

Nian Xi didn't know where Pei Jian suddenly appeared from, and he gave Prince Han a sneak attack.

What a pity.

The show is over.

Seeing Princess Deqing and Princess Xinchang rushing over with their people, Nianxi took one last look at the disheveled Jiang Yuan in the crowd and said to Xingyue behind her, "Let's go."

If Fuling hadn't been so sharp-sighted at the table today, it would have been Nianxi herself who was surrounded by the crowd and pointed at.

Fuling was a maid sent by Concubine Shu to look after Xiao Nanxi's daily life. She was good at poison and had a very keen sense of smell.

In recent banquets, she often sat side by side with Xiao Nanxi. Princess Xinchang was probably afraid that she would be dragged to the same table by the princess again, so she considerately set up another table next to the princess.

This way it would be easier to poison her.

It can be considered a blessing in disguise——

Coincidentally, Fuling was standing behind her and the princess. When she drank the first glass of wine, Fuling quietly touched her and signaled the wine glass with her eyes.

Nian Xi immediately became alert.

In her previous life, she died in an unclear manner, so in this life, she was extremely cautious about everything she imported.

Fuling was a calm person and would never do something without a purpose, so when she raised the cup, she brought the cup to her lips, and when no one was paying attention, she slightly bent her wrist and used her wide sleeves to cover the cup of wine, which flowed down her arm and poured into her mouth.

The temperature in the paddock was low, and Nianxi had already changed into her autumn clothes. The clothes were thick, and she had quietly stuffed a handkerchief into the cuffs. The wine flowed in and was quickly absorbed by the handkerchief and the inner clothes. When Nianxi lowered her arms, they were already covered tightly, and even Xiao Nanxi, who was standing beside her, did not notice.

After the drink, Princess Xinchang smiled and said a few words to make the occasion more pleasant, and then the banquet officially began.

Nian Xi remained calm and chatted with Xiao Nanxi beside her from time to time. When they raised their glasses, she did the same and managed to last for a few rounds.

A lady next to her asked her why she didn't eat, but she always evaded the question by saying she had no appetite. She could still hide the wine, but it was hard to hide the food.

Fortunately, this kind of banquet is not really for eating, and everyone just moves their chopsticks slightly. Thinking of this, it doesn't seem abrupt.

Halfway through the banquet, she pretended to be drunk and went to change her clothes, then handed the wine-soaked handkerchief to Fuling.

Fuling took it and smelled it first, then lightly took a little on the tip of her tongue. After a moment, she said to her, "It has aphrodisiac added to it. It causes hallucinations. It must be a secret drug from the southern barbarians."

Nian Xi was shocked when she heard this. She was still calm, but her face turned pale. "What will happen if I drink it?"

"The palace is full of these evil tricksters." Fuling snorted, her eyes full of disdain. "Just two cups of wine and even a saint would reveal his lustful nature and want to have sex with others."

Even if it was just a hypothesis, Fuling was unwilling to use it on Nianxi.

Fuling has watched Princess Wenshu grow up since she was young. Since the palace was full of invisible wind, frost, swords and knives, Xiao Nanxi grew up in the deep palace and was well protected, but she was also always lonely.

Miss Wen was a rare gentle and kind person. Fuling could see that Nianxi was sincere to the princess, and even when the princess had those eccentric and weird ideas, she would laugh or advise her, but she would not mock and distance herself like others.

The princess had a very happy time every day in the paddock.

Fuling and Yan Qing were very grateful to Nianxi.

So when she discovered that the color and smell of the wine were not right at the table just now, even though she was not sure, she hurriedly reminded them.

Xingyue was already frightened when Nianxi took out the handkerchief. After hearing Fuling's words, she burst into tears, "Which bastard with a black heart wants to harm our young lady like this?!"

Nian Xi was also extremely panicked at this moment.

But he was not that scared, probably because he had died once before. Compared to the unknown enemy, the current situation was not difficult for him to deal with.

"Just now at the banquet, I saw Jiang Yuan glance at me from time to time. Even Princess Xinchang would occasionally look at me."

Fuling nodded and said, "Although this secret medicine is very strong, it takes a long time to take effect. They must have other tricks up their sleeves to hurt people."

After the initial panic, Nian Xi gradually calmed down, and the anger in her heart began to surge.

She never took the initiative to provoke anyone.

She has been victimized once.

She is full of gratitude for her rebirth, and is unwilling to waste every day, always living seriously.

Some people just can't stand seeing others doing well. They try their best to destroy them, like maggots in the sewers, with intestines full of rotten mud.

"Fuling, do you have such a poison?"

She wanted to repay the wrongdoers with a taste of her own medicine.

Fuling glanced at her and asked, "Want to take revenge?"

"yes!"

She wants to live freely, not only to love, but also to hate freely.

Fuling asked again: "Jiang Yuan?"

"Yes!"

The only person who could harm her would be Jiang Yuan, no one else.

Fuling nodded, "Don't bother with that. Just leave it to Yan Qing."

"OK."

"Um?!"

"Wait a minute, Fuling, what do you mean?"

Compared to Nianxi's surprise, Fuling had a calm expression, as if she was talking about the weather in the hunting ground. "The banquet is not even halfway through. Just swap your wine and dishes with Jiang Yuan's and it will be done."

Perhaps seeing Nianxi was too shocked, Fuling patiently added, "Don't worry, Yan Qing is good at martial arts, and no one will find out."

At this moment, the calm and peaceful Poria cocos seemed to be shining.

"I cannot leave the table for too long. The princess needs someone to look after her."

After saying this, Fuling turned back into the calm and quiet palace maid and walked into the palace with her head lowered.

Nian Xi calmed down and followed him back.

It happened that the palace ladies were serving dishes and changing cups. It was a banquet, eating new dishes, removing old dishes, and matching drinks. Although Princess Xinchang's banquet today was a small one, the specifications were not low.

Nianxi looked towards Jiang Yuan unconsciously, and met Jiang Yuan's glance. They both felt guilty and looked away at the same time.

In order to avoid drinking, Nian Xi poured a lot of wine into her sleeves just now. Now her sleeves were wet and full of the smell of alcohol, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

Regardless of whether Yan Qing could succeed or not, she didn't want to stay at Princess Xinchang's banquet any longer. After two more rounds, she simply pretended to be drunk and left early.

Nianxi held Xingyue's hand and walked towards the West Garden. Xingyue whispered in her ear, "Miss Jiang is following behind."

Nian Xi's heart sank, thinking that Jiang Yuan's next move would be coming soon.

She gave herself such a vile and dirty drug. If she wanted to destroy her reputation, she needed a man to do it.

Passing by a forest on the way to Xiyuan, Nianxi slowly came up with a plan in her mind.

Fuling said that the drug would take time to take effect, so she deliberately slowed down her pace, pretending to be extremely drunk, and walked around a few times.

When they were almost in the woods, he exchanged a glance with Xingyue, and the two of them quickly hid inside.

After a while, Jiang Yuan stumbled and hugged Han Gaojie who was waiting there, and they could not control their affection.

When evildoers suffer the consequences, this is called retribution.
