Chapter 218 is just an obedient little bug.
Song Zhuran is the best at manipulating people's hearts.
Although this time her master told her to act obediently as usual to gain Jiang Wanru's trust.
But sometimes only women understand women best. Jiang Wanru never gives her heart to anyone. Either she controls others, or others control her.
Moreover, she knew that Jiang Wanru had been trying to use Pei Anqing's identity to get close to her master, so how could she possibly allow it?
“You hate the Grand Princess,” Song Zhuran said. “You could even say you despise her.”
“I know you’re working for her because you need to get the antidote from her every month.”
"I can give you the antidote."
Although it was Jiang Wanru's first time meeting Song Zhuran, she seemed to have a good relationship with Jiang Wanning. Jiang Wanru didn't want to agree, but she couldn't resist Song Zhuran's claim that she had the antidote.
For the past six months, she has been driven to the brink of death by this poison. Each time the poison takes effect, it feels like thousands of ants are gnawing at her internal organs.
Each time he went to ask for medicine, the Grand Princess would watch him suffer on the ground, feeling like he was about to die, and only give him the antidote when he was really about to faint.
She didn't want to continue like this, and she didn't want to be controlled by others.
Can……
"Why should I believe you?" Jiang Wanru couldn't help but ask.
If she's willing to ask, it means she's already interested.
Song Zhuran smiled sweetly, "You can choose not to believe me."
"But one thing I want to tell you is... if this poison is not completely neutralized, you will die suddenly a year later."
"impossible!"
Jiang Wanru said sternly, "She still needs me, how could she possibly let me die?"
"You're not even as good as your mother," Song Zhuran said casually. "Why wouldn't she let you die?"
"There are plenty of people who will do things for her. If you die, it's just a matter of finding someone else to take your place."
Song Zhuran didn't want to say more, so she placed the antidote on the table and said, "Whether you believe it or not is entirely up to you."
Jiang Wanru stared intently at the antidote on the table. "Why did you help me?"
Song Zhuran looked up. "To be honest, I don't want to help you."
“It’s because your master wants to use you, but she also feels that you can’t play a significant role in front of the Grand Princess.”
Who is your master?
"Isn't this the person you've always wanted to curry favor with?"
Song Zhuran twirled a strand of her long hair over her chest and played with it. "What? You don't want the chance now that I'm giving it to you?"
Jiang Wanru took two steps back, her eyes wide with disbelief. "No, this is impossible."
"You said your master is..."
"Don't say what you shouldn't say, or you'll lose your life." Song Zhuran made a throat-slitting gesture with her hand.
“That’s right, my master is the person behind Pei Anqing, Your Majesty.”
“I don’t care whether you know his true identity or not, but I still have to warn you.” Song Zhuran’s eyes were fierce. “Don’t say it.”
"Otherwise, I guarantee you won't see the moon the next day."
Jiang Wanru looked at the girl in front of her, who had a cold face but was still quite cute, and was only thirteen or fourteen years old.
He didn't take her WeChat account seriously at all.
"Do you really think the Song family has that much power!" Jiang Wanru said. "So what if you know the Emperor?"
“I know the Emperor’s temperament. Even if you are his disciple, he will still cut ties with you if necessary.”
"Even without you, I will find a way to make him favor me."
Before Jiang Wanru could finish speaking, a small hand tightly gripped her neck, exerting force while a sweet smile remained on her face.
"You don't understand Master, so what makes you think he would abandon me?"
"Even if Master abandons everyone else, he will never abandon me, do you understand?"
Song Zhuran spoke sweetly, but her hand was even tighter than before, lifting Jiang Wanru into the air with one hand.
Jiang Wanru desperately pounded on Song Zhuran's hand that was choking her neck, her face showing an unprecedented fear of death.
"I...I was wrong," Jiang Wanru said in a hoarse voice.
Song Zhuran then released her grip, and Jiang Wanru fell to the ground, staring at Song Zhuran in horror.
It was at this moment that she realized how terrifying Song Zhuran was.
“I’m willing to cooperate with you,” Jiang Wanru said, clutching her neck, “but you have to guarantee my safety.”
"Sister, I think you don't understand yet."
Song Zhuran slowly squatted down. "You're no longer in a position to negotiate with me."
"Today, either you die, or you choose to believe me."
Song Zhuran turned her head to look at the medicine on the table.
Jiang Wanru immediately understood what she meant, crawled to the table, opened the box, and swallowed the antidote in one gulp.
A moment later, Jiang Wanru felt that her body was much more relaxed and comfortable than before.
The marks left by the poisoning on my arm have also disappeared.
"Is it really the antidote?" Jiang Wanru said excitedly. "My poison is cured, and I no longer have to be at the beck and call of the Grand Princess."
"I already told you it's the antidote, but you still don't believe me," Song Zhuran complained.
But to Jiang Wanru, that coquettish and complaining tone sounded like a ghostly howl.
"Thank you... thank you, Miss Song."
"Just call me Ranran," Song Zhuran said. "After all, I can't let the persona I've built up over the years just collapse like this."
"But from now on you must obey me. Do whatever I say, understand?"
Jiang Wanru nodded.
Song Zhuran is like a madwoman, sinister and terrifying, but fortunately, her poison has been cured.
From now on, I won't be subject to anyone's control, and even Song Zhuran can't have a say in it.
As Jiang Wanru was thinking smugly to herself, Song Zhuran blinked and asked, "Second Sister Jiang, you're not planning to renege on your debt after leaving this room, are you?"
Jiang Wanru was startled and immediately denied it, "No...no."
"I am not the kind of person who goes back on their word, Miss... Miss Ranran, please rest assured."
"I knew it, Sister Jiang Er wouldn't be that kind of person."
"After all..." Song Zhuran said with a smile, "Although Sister Jiang's poison has been cured..."
"But Ranran secretly added a tiny bit of something to the antidote that makes people obedient."
Song Zhuran gestured with two fingers.
Jiang Wanru was so frightened that she immediately started gagging.
This obedient thing, what else could it be but poison? She knew it...
How could Song Zhuran be so kind?
"Second Sister Jiang doesn't like it?" Song Zhuran tilted her head and said seriously.
"No...no." Jiang Wanru took a step back.
Song Zhuran nodded. "That's good."
"It's nothing really strange, it's just a little bug inside your body."
"As long as you obey, nothing bad will happen to you in your life. But if you disobey, it will eat your internal organs bit by bit."
"You used a Gu poison on me?" Jiang Wanru knew how powerful Gu worms were.
How is this different from the poison used by the Grand Princess?
"Don't put it so harshly," Song Zhuran said. "He's just an obedient little bug."
