Chapter 66 Poisoning
"Sister Yuheng, do I need to explain it to you?" Zhang Nanyi said sarcastically.
"That day, Prince Qi was assassinated on the painted boat. When he woke up, he immediately pointed to Sister Yuheng. I don't know what seductive tricks Sister Yuheng used to seduce that high-ranking official and clear herself of the charge of assassinating the prince."
"That's right. My sister is so beautiful. If she sacrifices a little bit of her looks or innocence to clear her name, it would be understandable."
Su Yuheng had a blank expression on his face, his eyes fixed on Zhang Nanyi.
In her previous life, her elder sister Chen Wan was raped on a pleasure boat and was eventually forced to marry and die tragically, all because of this woman.
Today, she was using this Hundred Flowers Banquet to set a trap.
Zhang Nanyi is now pregnant, but she dares not have any contact with King Qi. It seems that she knows what kind of person King Qi is.
Since she is so afraid of King Qi, let her go to King Qi's mansion.
It would be best to lock her up with the King of Qi, so as to avoid any harm to Chen Wan and Huo Xingzhi.
"I don't understand what Sister Zhang means, but Yuheng is very curious. Why does Sister Zhang care so much about His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi?"
"I heard that the Prince of Qi still has no wives or concubines. Sister Zhang, are you planning to marry into the Prince of Qi's palace?"
Zhang Nanyi's face flushed: "Who would be willing to marry into the Prince Qi's mansion?"
"Oh?" Su Yuheng scoffed. "That's strange. If my sister doesn't want to marry into the Prince of Qi's mansion, why is she so concerned about him?"
"Sister not only cares about Prince Qi, but also Prince Rui, Prince Qin, and Prince Li. It's a pity that none of these four princes likes you."
Su Yuheng's words made Zhang Nanyi instantly angry.
"Su Yuheng, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Su Yuheng sneered: "I'm not talking nonsense. Just now, sister said that I, Su Yuheng, used some seductive tricks to cling to the powerful and wealthy in order to clear myself of the charge of assassinating the prince. But sister, who did you see me clinging to?"
Zhang Nanyi sneered, "You know exactly who you're clinging to. Don't be fooled by your appearance of being a good girl. You've actually been doing a lot of shameful things behind the scenes."
"It's better than having no one to care about even if my sister throws herself at me." Su Yuheng sneered.
Zhang Nanyi: "Biliu, tear her mouth apart!"
"You dare!"
"If you dare to touch me, I will make public your attempt to harm Sister Shen on the painted boat. I wonder if the Queen will favor you?"
"Sister Zhang is surrounded by several princes, but no one even looks at you. The bottom line is that Sister Zhang was not born to a satisfactory standard."
Su Yuheng took off the eight-treasure glass bead hairpin on her head and looked at her meaningfully.
"I got the Eight Treasures Glazed Bead Hairpin that Sister Zhang had been dreaming of without any effort. Tell me, are you angry?"
"That's right. Sister Zhang can't get anything she wants."
Zhang Nanyi's face flushed with excitement, and she looked at Su Yuheng in disbelief.
"You actually know what happened on the pleasure boat?"
"Bi Liu, go and tear off the eight-treasure glass bead hairpin from this bitch's head. It's just a hairpin, what's so great about you, Su Yuheng?"
"Do you think you are noble because you saved the life of the retired emperor? You are just the legitimate daughter of a poor marquisate, while my aunt is the current queen."
As the exasperated voice fell, Su Yuheng saw Zhang Nanyi's maid Biliu rushing over, trying to snatch the eight-treasure glazed bead hairpin on her head.
She dodged to the side, and Biliu stumbled and fell to the ground.
"Useless thing." Zhang Nanyi cursed angrily.
Biliu got up from the ground and tried to grab the hairpin from Su Yuheng's hand.
Su Yuheng loosened his grip slightly, and the hairpin was snatched away.
Biliu picked up the hairpin and handed it to Zhang Nanyi.
"Miss."
Zhang Nanyi held the eight-treasure glass hairpin in her hand and confirmed it over and over again.
"It is indeed a hairpin tributed from the West, it is just different."
"Sister Zhang, this hairpin was given to me by the Emperor. Please return it to me. Otherwise, you won't be able to bear the responsibility if the Emperor investigates."
Zhang Nanyi picked it up and glanced at it for a while, then reluctantly threw the hairpin at Su Yuheng's feet, sneering: "As expected, he was born in a poor marquis's mansion and has never seen the world."
"It's just an eight-treasure glass bead hairpin."
"I'm warning Sister Yuheng, the Empress is my aunt. If you want to stay safe in Yanjing City in the future, shut up, or you'll die."
"Bi Liu, let's go."
After Zhang Nanyi finished speaking, he left with Biliu without looking back.
"Miss, why don't you want that hairpin?" Biliu asked.
Zhang Nanyi said, "That was a gift from the Emperor. Even if I like it, I can't offend him."
Zhang Nanyi's lips curled up slightly, and he whispered to Biliu, "I remember that Su Yuheng has a cousin named Liu Jinshu, who has always been at odds with Su Yuheng. After the flower viewing banquet, you should contact Liu Jinshu privately."
She said quietly, "I want to make that lowly woman Su Yuheng marry into Prince Ming's mansion, so that I can finally vent my anger today."
Prince Ming was born old and ugly.
After the death of the princess, there were many wives and concubines in the mansion. He liked to torture women more than the Prince of Qi. The Prince Ming's mansion was even more like an endless hell.
This was her best revenge on Su Yuheng.
Bi Liu said, "Miss, you are wise. If Su Yuheng doesn't marry, I'm afraid the princes and noble young masters will only focus on her."
Looking at the backs of Zhang Nanyi and his servant as they walked away.
Su Yuheng raised the corners of her lips slightly, picked up the eight-treasure glass bead hairpin from the ground at her feet, and inserted it into her bun.
As dusk approached, Princess Chaoyang's mansion prepared a meal and invited opera singers from the public to perform in the mansion.
The noble ladies and gentlemen sat on chairs, eating and enjoying the opera.
Su Yuheng found an inconspicuous place to sit down, his eyes falling on Zhang Nanyi in front of him.
After a while, a maid in pink passed by Zhang Nanyi holding a teacup.
When the maid walked in front of Zhang Nanyi, she leaned slightly and the hot tea in the cup spilled out directly onto Zhang Nanyi's hands, soaking her hands completely.
Su Yuheng curled his lips and snorted in his heart.
The poison finally entered the body.
Her hairpin was coated with poison in advance.
She had touched it, and so had Zhang Nanyi and her maid Biliu.
If the poison on the hairpin is to penetrate the skin, another kind of poison is needed to assist.
The poison was in the cup of tea in the maid's hand.
In order to prevent Zhang Nanyi from noticing, she came up with this plan.
Otherwise, if the maid Biliu and Zhang Nanyi were poisoned at the same time, she would most likely be suspected.
Now that the poison has entered the body, we are just waiting for the birthday of the Emperor to let it play an important role.
"You are so brave!" Zhang Nanyi immediately stood up and started cursing.
The maid immediately knelt down and said, "My feet slipped, please forgive me, young lady!"
"What's going on?" Chaoyang came over from the other side and saw his maid kneeling in front of Zhang Nanyi.
"Princess, I slipped and accidentally spilled hot tea on Miss Zhang's hand."
Princess Chaoyang winked at the maid and said, "What's wrong with you, servant? You act so recklessly. Why don't you go down and accept your punishment?"
"Yes, Princess." The maid stood up and left quickly.
Chaoyang looked at Zhang Nanyi and curled his lips slightly: "Miss Zhang, my maid is so impatient that she wet your clothes. How about I ask someone to take you to change clothes?"
Seeing Princess Chaoyang being so polite to her, Zhang Nanyi smiled and said, "My hands are just wet, not my clothes. No need to bother you, Princess."
Princess Chaoyang: "That's good. I won't disturb Miss Zhang from enjoying her meal and music."
At sunset, the flower-viewing banquet at Princess Chaoyang's Mansion finally ended. When Su Yuheng left Princess Chaoyang's Mansion, a maid in pink passed by her and handed her a note.
Su Yuheng slowly opened the note, and what caught his eye were a few large characters.
"Sister Yuheng, the plan is complete. We are just waiting for our grandfather's birthday."
It's Chaoyang's handwriting.
