Chapter 417: Strong outside and infatuated inside male protagonist x beautiful and cruel reborn female protagonist 11
"My Lady, are you really prepared to keep your identity a secret?"
"I heard that the second prince will be reborn soon. When he sees you, won't he be exposed?"
Concubine Xiao Shu remained calm, not even a trace of emotion in her heart. "When I left Wu Ling, the Second Prince was only five years old. He would not recognize me. Even if he did, there is no evidence to prove that I am a witch of the Wu Ling tribe."
Qiao'e was still a little worried because her queen was being hunted down by the Wuling tribe forever.
"By the way, find a way to make Miss Qiao and Cheng Yu have sex. Since Cheng Yu wants to keep Miss Qiao in his hands, how can I, as his mother, not help him?"
"Oh" Qiao'e sighed. Her queen really had no mother-son love at all. If Miss Qiao and His Royal Highness Prince Cheng really became husband and wife, how could the emperor not be furious?
Aunt Qiao's injury healed quickly. She drank precious medicine every day, applied the finest ointment, and ate all kinds of delicacies from land and sea. It was impossible for it not to heal quickly.
In a luxurious villa far away from the capital, the second prince Wu Yuan was admiring a painting with a look of ecstasy.
"As expected, she is the pure soul that the witch calculated to revive Tianqi. Ah Po, what do you think about bringing her back to Wuling and making her my queen?"
Ah Po was a loyal subordinate trained by Wu Yuan. Hearing his master's crazy words, he quickly tried to stop him, "Master, you can't have such an idea. The witch said that people with pure souls must be burned with witch fire after they are brought back."
Wu Yuan smiled evilly, his eyes full of interest. "So what? There is no one I am interested in that I cannot get. As for the Purest Soul, I want to see what is different from ordinary people."
The royal hunting had already begun before Wu Yuan arrived in the capital.
In this hunt, in addition to Xie Chengyu's conspiracy, which Xie Anhuai already knew about, there were two other groups of people waiting in the dark to make their move.
The Emperor sat on a high platform with Concubine Xiao Shu and Concubine Xian. The view from here was very good, and they could see half of the entire hunting ground.
Concubine Xiao Shufei winked at Qiao'e, who understood and retreated.
Jin Jin Qiao sat in the tent she had prepared, ready to take a rest. According to Ah Huai, as long as she did not leave the tent, King Cheng's men would not dare to assassinate under the emperor's nose.
But Jinjin Qiao was a little worried about Xie Anhuai. She didn't know whether King Cheng would take action against Xie Anhuai because she saw that there was no chance here.
"Miss, are you worried about the prince?"
Aunt Qiao was speechless. "Of course I am worried. Swords have no eyes. Who knows what else that madman Cheng Wang will do."
"Greetings to Miss Qiao, I am here to serve tea."
Xiao Tao took the tea from the servant and poured it for Aunt Qiao herself.
Aunt Qiao was not thirsty, so naturally she had no desire to drink.
As a result, the tea was left on the table for a quarter of an hour, and Aunt Qiao didn't move at all.
"Greetings to Miss Qiao. I am here to serve you tea."
Just as Xiao Tao was about to ask what was going on, Aunt Qiao quickly raised her hand to stop her, "Xiao Tao, bring in some tea."
Aunt Qiao knew that someone was plotting against her. Was it necessary to deliver tea twice? Either once was real tea, and once was tea with added ingredients.
"Xiao Tao, someone is trying to drug me."
Xiao Tao was frightened for a moment, patted her chest and said, "Fortunately the lady didn't drink, who is so mean?"
"We don't know which pot has the added ingredients, so we can drink from which pot when we are thirsty."
Aunt Qiao pursed her lips, thought for a moment and said, "Don't drink water today. The enemy is in the dark. Even if you go to boil water yourself, there is no guarantee that there will be no tampering."
Two hours later, a large number of people came out of the hunting ground. Xie Anhuai was safe and sound, and the prey they caught was the largest in the entire field.
The emperor was very pleased and specially rewarded her with a night-shining pearl from the East China Sea and a pair of ruby headpieces.
Everyone knows who this ruby headpiece is for. It was simply given to Aunt Qiao through Xie Anhuai.
"Qiao'e, what's going on? Hasn't Aunt Qiao drunk any water?"
Qiao'e lowered her head guiltily. Who could have thought that Miss Qiao was so smart that she didn't even drink a sip of water for the entire afternoon? They couldn't let anyone into Aunt Qiao's tent openly. As soon as Aunt Qiao shouted, they would be exposed immediately.
"My queen, does Miss Qiao know our plan? Otherwise, why would she not drink water?"
Concubine Xiao Shu's eyes turned cold. "She's lucky. The groom was sent away. It would be best if he never speaks again."
Li Xueqing was equally furious and threw the pieces of teaware all over the floor. "Damn it, she actually got away with it!"
"Nanny, has someone exposed our plan? Otherwise, how could she be so lucky?"
The wet nurse looked coldly at Aunt Qiao who was not far away from them and was very happy to receive the ruby headpiece.
"Miss, we have to get rid of this Aunt Qiao as soon as possible, otherwise we will have no chance after a while."
Li Xueqing gritted her teeth as she watched Xie Anhuai doting on Jinjin Qiao, her jealousy almost overwhelmed her.
"Nurse, I want her to die. His Highness Prince Zhao is mine, and no one can snatch him from me."
The wet nurse frowned in embarrassment. She had secretly ordered people to observe Miss Qiao and knew she would seldom go out. It was really impossible for her to take action against her unless she bribed the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Miss, leave this matter to me. I will take care of it for you."
Li Xueqing felt relieved. "My nanny is the best to me."
Aunt Qiao was very happy when she looked at the head ornaments on the table. The emperor blatantly gave her the head ornaments through Xie Anhuai's hand, which was simply telling everyone that she was his valued daughter-in-law.
Xie Anhuai came to Aunt Qiao's tent and saw Aunt Qiao smiling with squinting eyes.
"Qiao'er, it's just a piece of jewelry, why are you so happy?"
Aunt Qiao waved her hand to let Xiao Tao put away her hair, pursed her dry lips and said, "Ahuai, I'm thirsty."
Xie Anhuai frowned, "Qiaoer didn't drink any water all afternoon? How come your mouth is so dry?"
As he was about to pour tea for Aunt Qiao, Aunt Qiao raised her hand to stop him and said, "The water here is not drinkable."
"Ah Huai, two groups of people have brought me tea today. I think something must have been added to the tea. Can you let Doctor Yu take a look?"
Xie Anhuai's face suddenly turned pale. "An Yi, send these two pots of tea to Doctor Chen Yu for a look."
"Ah Huai, did everything go well during the hunt today? Did King Cheng not take action?"
Xie Anhuai suppressed his anger and said, "King Cheng's target is Qiao'er. As long as you don't leave the tent, he won't dare to take action here."
Aunt Qiao sighed and said casually, "It would be better if I didn't come."
"It's more dangerous to stay in the mansion," Xie Anhuai said firmly.
