After returning to the mansion, the two hid in the room, carefully planning how to put the poisonous insect into Bai Linglong's food.
"Mother, the maids and servants around Bai Linglong are all loyal to her, so it's hard for us to find an opportunity."
Bai Xinyao frowned, looking distressed. She paced back and forth in the room, trying to come up with a foolproof plan.
Aunt Li pondered for a moment, a sly look flashed in her eyes: "Let's go from the kitchen.
I heard that tomorrow is Bai Linglong's birthday, and the kitchen is preparing her favorite cakes.
We can take advantage of them while they are making it and mix the poisonous insects in. ”
Aunt Li showed a smug smile on her face, she felt that this plan was perfect.
On the second day, the kitchen of the Marquis's Mansion was bustling with activity, and the chefs and maids were very busy.
Steam billows out of the steamer and the sweet aroma of cakes fills the air.
Aunt Li and Bai Xinyao pretended nothing had happened and walked into the kitchen, holding the box containing the "Soul-Eroding Gu" tightly in their hands.
Aunt Li looked around vigilantly, and after making sure that no one was paying attention to them, she winked at a little maid who had a good relationship with her.
The little maid understood what he meant and deliberately knocked over a basin of water next to her. For a moment, the kitchen was in chaos and everyone rushed to clean up.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Bai Xinyao quickly took the box from Aunt Li, opened the lid, and carefully poured the poisonous insect into the pastry ingredients for Bai Linglong.
After doing all this, the two walked out of the kitchen as if nothing had happened, feeling secretly proud of themselves, waiting to see Bai Linglong's good show.
However, their every move was watched by Bai Linglong who was secretly monitoring them.
Bai Linglong sneered and told Cui'er beside her, "According to the plan."
Soon, it was time for dinner. The maids brought plates of exquisite cakes to the table.
Bai Linglong looked at the plate of poisoned cakes and pastries, a barely perceptible cold light flashing in her eyes.
She quietly used the power of space, and while no one was paying attention, she transferred the poisonous insect into Bai Xinyao's food without anyone noticing.
At first, Bai Xinyao didn't notice anything unusual and ate her meal as usual.
But not long after, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach and her face turned pale instantly.
"Ah, my stomach..." She covered her stomach in pain, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Aunt Li panicked when she saw this, and rushed over to hug Bai Xinyao, "Yao'er, what's wrong with you?
What's going on? ”
Aunt Li's voice was tearful and her body was panicked. She patted Bai Xinyao on the back, trying to ease her pain.
"Go get a doctor!"
Aunt Li shouted at the little maid who was standing beside her, stunned with fear.
The little maid came to her senses and ran out stumbling.
"Mom... I'm in so much pain..." Bai Xinyao was breathing weakly, beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down her forehead, wetting the pillowcase.
"Don't be afraid, Yao'er, the doctor will be here soon, just bear with it."
Aunt Li was extremely anxious and kept comforting her daughter, but her body couldn't stop shaking.
After a while, the doctor hurried over.
He was a frequent visitor to the Marquis' Mansion and usually treated various illnesses for everyone in the mansion. However, when he looked at Bai Xinyao's symptoms, he frowned.
The doctor sat beside the bed and carefully felt Bai Xinyao's pulse. After a long time, his expression became more and more solemn.
"Miss, your pulse is...very strange. It seems like there is an evil force at work in your body. I have never seen such symptoms before."
The doctor shook his head repeatedly, then wrote down a few prescriptions, but there was a hint of lack of confidence in his eyes.
"Doctor, how is my daughter?
Can this medicine really cure her? ”
Aunt Li asked anxiously, her voice full of worry.
The doctor hesitated for a moment and said, "Madam, the young lady's illness is too strange. I can try the medicine first. Whether it will work depends on the young lady's luck."
Aunt Li's heart sank when she heard this, but she still pulled herself together and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Doctor. Please save my daughter."
After the doctor left, Aunt Li stayed by her daughter's bedside, and was extremely anxious when she saw her daughter in pain.
She thought about it and felt that this matter was too strange. Perhaps Lord 놙놋 could help.
So, Aunt Li told the maid to take good care of Bai Xinyao, and she hurried to the Marquis' study.
At this time, the Marquis was handling official business in the study. Seeing Aunt Li rushing in in a panic, he couldn't help but frowned.
"Why are you so flustered?"
The Marquis put down the pen in his hand and asked with an unhappy look on his face.
Aunt Li knelt on the bed with a plop and cried, "My Lord, please save Yao'er. She suddenly has unbearable abdominal pain for some reason, and the doctors in the mansion are helpless. Please ask the imperial physician to come and take a look!"
Upon hearing this, the Marquis's expression changed slightly, "Did you actually do this?"
He thought for a moment and said, "Get up first. I will send someone to get the imperial physician."
Soon, the people sent by the Marquis rushed to the Imperial Hospital to ask for the imperial physician.
While waiting for the imperial physician, the mansion was in chaos.
Maids and old women were coming in and out of the corridor, whispering and talking.
"What happened to Miss 괗? She suddenly became so ill."
A little maid whispered.
"Who knows? I heard it was caused by evil spirits. The symptoms looked scary."
Another maid responded with a horrified look on her face.
"Ah, I don't know if it can be cured. Aunt Li only has this precious daughter."
A woman sighed.
