Shen Pingjin looked at Ruan Ci not far away, took out a packet of oil paper from her sleeve, slowly opened it, and poured the powdery substance inside directly into the wine on the table.
Is this what they call administering medication?
Shen Pingjin was somewhat puzzled. How could Ruan Ci be so certain that Yan Xue would drink the drug?
There must be something fishy going on here.
Shen Pingjin decided to remain inactive.
He then turned around, intending to call Yan Jue over.
At this moment, a great show was already flashing through my mind.
The palace maid quickly summoned Yan Xue as instructed by Ruan Ci. Yan Xue looked at Ruan Ci standing under the peach tree, her palms almost completely covered in cold sweat.
Instead of being questioned, Ruan Ci just smiled.
"My dear sister, you've finally arrived?"
Yan Xue was a little confused, but she didn't say anything.
"Ruan Ci, I was really just lucky this time."
Yan Xue still hoped to settle the matter peacefully.
However, Ruan Ci was never one to give up easily.
Ruan Ci looked at Yan Xue in front of her, the smile that had just been in her eyes had disappeared.
"Good luck?"
"You're lucky enough to stand out from the crowd?"
The voice suddenly became high-pitched, catching Yan Xue off guard.
"I... I was the one who made the mistake."
After much thought, Yan Xue still couldn't find a better reason.
In front of Ruan Ci, she always felt inferior.
Because she admitted that she did indeed intend to take advantage of her.
"You were willing to be my foil, all for this day, weren't you?"
Ruan Ci stared coldly at Yan Xue in front of him, his face so gloomy it was almost as if water could be squeezed out of it.
Yan Xue decided to pretend she didn't know what Ruan Ci was talking about.
"Ruan Ci, Ruan Ci, what are you saying? I don't understand."
Ruan Ci snorted coldly: "Stop pretending. Haven't you already gotten what you wanted? We're sisters, don't you have anything to say to me?"
Now that Ruan Ci has already said so much, Yan Xue is a little embarrassed to continue talking nonsense.
Looking at Ruan Ci in front of her, the panic on her face disappeared, replaced by surprise.
"Ruan Ci, how did you find out?"
Seeing that the timidity and weakness on Yan Xue's face had disappeared, the coldness that had been lingering in Ruan Ci's eyes finally gathered together.
Upon seeing this, the young palace maid who had received a bribe from Ruan Ci immediately ran away to the other side.
At the same time, I plan to say nothing and keep my mouth shut.
Shen Pingjin had already brought Yan Jue to where the two of them were.
Looking at the two people standing under the peach tree not far away, Yan Jue was somewhat puzzled.
Just as she was about to speak, she saw Shen Pingjin putting her finger to her lips.
In an instant, I understood what was going on.
But he didn't say anything, instead lowering his voice.
Speak in a voice that only the two of you can hear.
"You brought me here to eavesdrop?"
Chen Pingjin: "..."
He shook his head: "No, I just want you to do me a favor."
Yan Jue immediately became curious.
I was just enjoying my tea when this clever little devil suddenly appeared and ran right up to me.
He wanted to ask her what she wanted to do, but the clever little thing grabbed his sleeve and pulled him to the side.
Before Yan Jue could even speak, Shen Pingjin pulled him to the peach tree.
Yan Jue asked, "What kind of help?"
Shen Pingjin answered in the softest voice, "When you see the person in the light blue clothes about to drink that cup of wine, use your internal energy to switch their drinks. Remember, you must do it without anyone noticing."
"Without anyone noticing?"
Yan Jue frowned slightly, and at this moment he actually missed Ye Ting a little.
Yan Jue usually delegates this kind of task to Ye Ting.
Thinking of Ye Ting's current predicament, Yan Jue sighed slightly, then went to hide where neither of them could see him.
"Why don't we change it now?"
When she's about to drink, even if you're highly skilled in martial arts, she might still notice something amiss.
Shen Pingjin didn't care, as long as the final result was good.
"Just do whatever is easiest for you, and you can choose the one you prefer."
Having received a response from Shen Pingjin, Yan Jue immediately got up and set off.
After finishing his business, Yan Jue returned to Shen Pingjin's side.
Yan Jue's martial arts skills were unfathomable, as Shen Pingjin had always known.
So I thought Yan Jue would definitely do it, but I didn't expect it to be so easy for him.
"Is that all?"
Shen Pingjin decided to ask again.
Yan Jue nodded: "Of course. You actually made me handle such a small matter personally. Aren't you afraid of using a small talent for a large task?"
Shen Pingjin smiled: "How can this be a waste of talent? Letting my husband do something that I can't do shows how capable he is."
Yan Jue was very pleased with these words and nodded.
"Not bad, not bad, my queen is becoming more and more eloquent."
"However, I would like to know what your purpose is in suddenly ordering me to do this."
Yan Jue suddenly asked in a cold voice.
He knew that Shen Pingjin was always clever and had her own purpose in everything she did.
However, in his memory, the two girls standing under the peach tree were someone he clearly remembered had no connection with Shen Pingjin.
So what exactly does Chenpingjin want to achieve...?
Since Shen Pingjin had asked Yan Jue for help, she never intended to hide it from the beginning.
Looking at Yan Jue, he said, "It's like this, I want..."
After hearing Shen Pingjin's answer, Yan Jue was quite shocked. Who could have such a realistic dream?
However, Yan Jue did not suspect anything. For some reason, Yan Jue simply believed everything Shen Pingjin said.
Seeing Yan Jue's expression, Shen Pingjin knew that he believed her story, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She could only use the explanation of a dream to indirectly explain everything about her past life to Yan Jue.
Ruan Ci looked at Yan Xue, whose face was cold and indifferent, and the disgust in her heart was almost overflowing.
"Yan Xue, let me ask you, have you been pretending to be weak and timid in front of me all along? Even during the tea-making competition just now, were the words you said just to make me lower my guard?"
Ruan Ci looked at the silent Yan Xue, wanting to hear her answer.
Yan Xue glanced around and, after confirming that no one was around, slowly spoke.
"Ruan Ci, this is not my fault."
"After all, you've never considered me a good friend, have you?"
Ruan Ci's eyes were red at this moment. She glanced at the wine on the table and suppressed her anger.
