Chapter 398: The Concubine's Sister Travels Through Time VS The First Sister Reborn (4)
"You are poisoned. Here is the antidote." Shi Yi took out the porcelain bottle that he had prepared long ago from his sleeve.
"Why should I believe you?" Qi Yanlai took the porcelain bottle from her hand without looking at her. He was thinking whether he should let the soldiers on martial law at the door come in and arrest the woman.
He had been sitting in this position for a long time, had seen a lot of things, and had more blood on his hands than others. His father liked his kindness and bravery, but he never thought that if he was really just like that, he would not be alive today.
"You don't have to believe me." Shi Yi reached out and patted the dust on his bed, sat down, looked at the burning lights with a smile and said, "I just don't know if I can see you tomorrow."
Qi Yanlai's eyes changed, and he clenched the porcelain bottle with both hands, his cold eyes glued to her face, "How did you know I was poisoned?"
"It was just fate that I knew." Shi Yi said in a light tone.
"That's all?" Qi Yanlai didn't miss any expression on her face, but he couldn't see any problem with it.
Shi Yi nodded, looked at the 19-year-old boy, and said sincerely: "I just hope that the eldest prince will be healthy and worry-free for a hundred years."
"You are a good talker." Qi Yanlai sneered and moved quickly towards her, trying to take off the human skin mask on her face.
Shi Yi didn't dodge or avoid, and said softly: "The eldest prince should think about it. If you take off this disguise, how will you and I meet in the future?"
"In the future?" Qi Yanlai narrowed his eyes slightly, and after his eyes wandered around her face for a few circles, he put his hand on her neck skin without regret and took off the thin layer of human skin mask.
"It's you." He was a little surprised.
It is said that Ge Shiyi, the legitimate daughter of Ge Yushi's family, is the most respectful and rule-abiding. She actually visited a man's room late at night? !
"Shi Yi has seen the eldest prince." Since there is no way to avoid it, it is better to admit it generously, which is more frank.
"You..." Qi Yanlai looked at the girl, and for a moment he didn't know what to ask.
"My Lord, you have indeed been poisoned. I hope you believe me." Shi Yi looked at him sincerely, hoping that he could understand his good intentions towards him.
"You are just a girl in the boudoir. How do you know that I was assassinated?" You know, he kept this matter very secret. Even in the mansion, only a few of his confidants knew about it.
The more you talk, the more mistakes you make. Shi Yi simply didn't answer, but looked at him carefully with her big eyes.
"It's late at night, you should go back to the mansion." Qi Yanlai didn't want to force her anymore since he already knew her identity. He waved his hand with his back to her.
"Thank you, eldest prince." Shi Yi quickly got under the bed, pressed his finger on the mechanism, and poked his head out again, whispering, "I hope to see you in the future. The eldest prince is in good health."
"Be careful on the road..." Qi Yanlai clenched the porcelain bottle in his hand. He could imagine how hard the daughter of Ge Yushi's family fell when he heard the "bang" in the tunnel.
He sat back at his desk again, shaking the porcelain bottle unconsciously, and finally pulled out the cork and drank it.
He has been gambling since he was a child, so why not gamble again this time? Shi Yi
ran back to Ge Yushi's house in a panic. Just after changing clothes and lying down, her mother sent someone to invite her. Fortunately, there was no danger. She casually tidied up her appearance and changed clothes, and followed the nanny to her mother's courtyard.
"Do you know why I called you here now?" Late at night, Liu Yanqing sat by the candlelight, and her face without makeup looked even a little haggard. Shi
Yi knelt beside her obediently as always, and whispered, "My daughter doesn't know."
Liu Yanqing looked down at her legitimate daughter, wondering when she had changed? Did she and her husband spoil her so much that she even dared to make up stories about her legitimate sister. If Yu Yi hadn't cried in front of her today, she couldn't even imagine that her eldest daughter, who was polite and well-behaved, would become such a heartless person.
"Mother?" After waiting for her answer for a long time, Shi Yi gently tugged at her skirt.
"Don't touch me." Liu Yanqing suddenly felt a little disgusted with her eldest daughter.
"Mother..." Shi Yi's eyes flashed with hurt.
The mother who had always paid extra attention to and loved her suddenly hated her. No one could stand such a gap.
"Why did you go to get close to the concubine's daughter in Xiaozhu, and not make friends with your legitimate sister?" Liu Yanqing stared at her eldest daughter like a she-wolf in the dark night.
As a legitimate daughter, she enjoyed all kinds of favors since she was young. What she hated most were the concubines and aunts of low status. She also hated people who were close to her to get close to those she despised.
"Mother, it's not what you think..." Shi Yi was about to explain when she was heavily kicked by her mother.
"Look at what you have become now? For a concubine's daughter, you hinted that I should thoroughly investigate the truth of her falling into the water, and promised to take her to the eldest princess's poetry meeting? Do you know that it is a place where only legitimate daughters can be invited? What is Ge Mingyi's status? She is just a lowly concubine's daughter, and you actually lowered your status to take her there? Do you know that if you really take her there, our Ge family, me, and your sister will all lose face because of you!"
Shi Yi's heart choked, and the bloody taste in her throat was heavily suppressed by her. She still wanted to continue explaining, but she didn't expect her mother to turn her back and was unwilling to continue talking to her.
"Mother, I will come to pay my respects tomorrow." She stood up with the help of the low table, and the pain in her heart almost made her cry.
She chuckled in her heart, thinking that she had always received the purest maternal love, but she didn't expect that it was just a sugar-coated emotion. Once it involves relevant personnel, the sugar coating is peeled off, revealing a layer of bitterness.
Liu Yanqing actually began to regret it after kicking her.
She really dotes on her eldest daughter, but she also hopes that her eldest daughter can be sensible and not do anything that will shame the Ge family. In her opinion, taking the concubine Ge Mingyi out is a big thing that will embarrass the Ge family. I thought the eldest daughter would stay here and explain, but she was leaving in a blink of an eye. She was angry, anxious and distressed. After waiting for a long time, she saw her eldest daughter almost reaching the door, and said hurriedly,
"Your status, position and favor are all given by me. You have to think clearly about who you should listen to in this family!"
Shi Yi turned her head to look at her mother, with a very faint smile on her face, "Mother, your daughter has remembered everything you said today."
"It's best to remember. Yuyi is your biological sister, so you should get close to her when you have time. If she does something wrong, you, as her biological sister, should give her more advice and don't watch her go astray." Liu Yanqing still pursed her lips, but her expression was much calmer. "We are biological sisters, how can we let others surpass us?"
