Chapter 180: A Plot Within a Plot
"Miss, this is the best pre-rain spring tea. I am not worthy of it due to my status as a servant..." When Su Qing heard that Su Yue was going to give her the tea, she hurriedly held up the tea and knelt down.
"What are you doing? In my heart, you have always been like a sister. If you hadn't protected me when I was a child, I might have been killed by the people sent by Aunt Liu. Have you forgotten?"
When Su Yue saw Su Qing kneeling down, she quickly turned around and gestured for Su Qing to stand up while speaking.
"Of course I haven't forgotten." Su Qing lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking, but she didn't want Su Yue to see her expression at the moment.
"So, why are you talking about whether you are worthy or not in front of me for no reason? As long as you are not the Third Prince, I can give you whatever you want."
Su Yue saw that Su Qing lowered his head, but the tea in his hand began to tremble.
She just thought Su Qing was nervous, so she deliberately said something teasing.
"Miss, you..." When Su Qing heard this, he naturally thought of the things that happened during their childhood, and how he had not been treated badly by the Second Miss during the time he had been with her.
"Su Qing, what's wrong with you? Are you hiding something from me?" Su Yue did not see Su Qing bursting into laughter as she had imagined. Instead, in the light of the candle, she saw her shedding two tears.
"Miss, I'm sorry." Su Qing raised her head at this time, her eyes filled with crystal tears.
Her mistress had always treated her like a sister, never being hard on herself, and even giving her any good things.
Why did she come up with the idea of helping the second prince to harm the young lady?
"Qing'er, you..." Su Yue looked at Su Qing, whose face was now full of tears. If she didn't notice something was wrong, she would be a fool.
"Miss, it's like this..." Then, Su Qing told Su Yue everything about how the second prince saved her, confessed to her, and asked her to drug him.
Because there was too much information and Su Qing was a little nervous, her words were incoherent, but fortunately Su Yue still understood what she said.
"Qing'er, you told me so clearly, do you know that you have lost the chance to be a maid? Even more, in the future, it may be as the Second Prince said, to make you a concubine, are you really not tempted?"
Su Yue held the tea and sniffed it. As expected, there was no special smell. If Su Qing had not told her, she might have really drunk the tea.
"Miss, when the Second Prince told me just now, I was indeed moved, but as a person, you must have a conscience. Miss is so good to me, I can't ruin Miss's life for my own selfish desires."
Su Qing looked at Su Yue with a sincere tone.
Admittedly, the position of concubine is very attractive, but she can't exchange it for the life of the second lady no matter what.
"Qing'er, I'm telling you the truth. The Second Prince is sixteen years old and doesn't have any female confidantes. He just tricked you into giving me this medicine."
Su Yue saw that Su Qing's eyes were now clear, because he had said everything in his heart, and now he was much more open when standing in front of her.
"What? Then..." When Su Qing heard Su Yue's words, his mouth opened slightly in surprise and he looked at Su Yue in a daze.
"Qing'er, since you have told me everything, it proves that you trust me, so I will not lie to you. If you have any doubts in your heart, just do as I say."
Su Yue looked at Su Qing and guessed that her friendship for the Second Prince was nothing more than out of gratitude.
Plus she was able to resist the temptation and tell herself the truth.
That means Su Qing is trapped. It’s not too deep yet, so she really wants to help Su Qing and see Shangguan Nanfeng’s true face completely.
Not long after, Su Qing walked towards the second prince's tent, holding the cup of tea.
"How is it? Is it done?" Shangguan Nanfeng watched Su Qing approaching, hurried forward, and gently pulled Su Qing over.
"Second Miss, drink it." Su Qing lowered her head and did not look at Shangguan Nanfeng. She was afraid that she would reveal her flaws.
"Hahaha, well done. Qing'er, what are you holding in your hand?" Shangguan Nanfeng lowered his voice and laughed twice, then he noticed the tea in Su Qing's hand.
"What the Second Miss drank." Su Qing's voice was low and trembling barely perceptibly, but Shangguan Nanfeng didn't notice it because he was so excited.
"It would be a pity to throw away the good things my mother gave me." Shangguan Nanfeng said, and then drank the tea in one gulp.
After all, I have to stay with Su Yue later, and I can't do it without some "physical strength".
When Su Qing saw the Second Prince drink it without hesitation, he was afraid of being exposed, so he quickly found an excuse to leave.
"Qingzhu, take that troublesome Ruofeng away." Shangguan Nanfeng said, and threw the bowl on the ground.
He drank the tea with his own plans, of course. By that time, it was too late and he could only control himself because he had been drugged.
Even though my father favors Shangguan Nanxing and I want to vent his anger on him, there is nothing I can do about it. After all, I am also a victim.
At that time, whether it was Su Yue herself, Shangguan Nanxing or her father, they would have to acknowledge this marriage.
It has to be said that Shangguan Nanfeng's considerations were very thorough, so thorough that they were completely within Su Yue's calculations.
"Who?" Ruofeng was guarding Su Yue's tent. Suddenly, a stone flew out from the bushes not far away and hit Ruofeng in the face.
Ruofeng dodged swiftly and rushed towards the direction where the stone had just flown.
Then, a black shadow quickly jumped out from the bushes and ran away.
Ruofeng showed an understanding smile. Miss Su was really a master of foresight. So he followed Su Yue's request and chased after her.
The man in black had no intention of fighting with Ruofeng. When Ruofeng pretended that he couldn't catch up, the man in black slowed down, obviously waiting for Ruofeng to catch up.
Ruofeng focused his eyes, raised a stream of true energy, and leaped out to chase after him.
Shangguan Nanfeng watched Ruofeng walk away before he went towards Su Yue's room.
He was so drugged that he had to lift the tent curtain several times before he could open it.
When you walk into the tent, you can smell a faint fragrance. The smell is a little sweet and very pleasant.
Shangguan Nanfeng couldn't help but sniff it a few more times.
Then, his gaze became even more distracted.
There seemed to be someone lying on the bed in the tent.
Shangguan Nanfeng was delighted and threw himself forward.
After a long time.
When the effect of the medicine wore off, Shangguan Nanfeng contentedly pulled the person next to him over and held her in his arms, when he suddenly noticed something strange.
This body shape is not right. Su Yue is petite and it is impossible for her to be so big.
Wait for him to pull the person over and look over by candlelight.
The face turned completely dark.
