Chapter 333 Together
Green Water asked, "So, Miss, you mean I should secretly poison him and take his life?"
“If I only wanted to kill him, I wouldn’t need to use poison, nor would I need you to do it,” Meng Lingge said quickly.
Now that she has people under her command and holds a high position, she has plenty of ways to take a life without leaving a trace.
“Although I trust my intuition, I won’t take action against him without evidence. He can’t die quietly; I must make him walk into the trap and confess his identity. Princess Qiongxiao has committed so many murders, and now the authorities can’t find her whereabouts. Perhaps Guan Yi’an can get some clues from her. As for Dong Qing, only Guan Yi’an knows whether he is dead or alive, or where he is.”
Torture was useless against Guan Yi'an, and killing her directly would not yield the information she wanted.
Only by luring the snake out of its hole, leaving Guan Yi'an with no way to deny his guilt, can the criminal be brought to justice and the truth revealed.
Upon hearing this, Green Water nodded vigorously.
We cannot let Guan Yi'an die without knowing the truth; we must make him confess and accept punishment to give his deceased elder brother an explanation.
Give justice to the innocent victims.
"Then what should I do?"
"After Guan Yi'an replaced your elder brother's face, he immediately traveled a long distance to get close to me. Now that his face is damaged, he still tries every means to get close to the people around me. It can be seen that he has always had a premeditated plan against me. My pitiful relationship with him is not enough to make him so concerned. So his approach to me is either for money or to vent his anger."
Meng Lingge continued, "Either they want to get something from me, or they want revenge. The latter is more likely, after all, Guan Yi'an is a vengeful person. His imprisonment and disfigurement in Jiangnan were somewhat related to me."
Green Water understood a little better after hearing this. "Miss wants me to gain his trust?"
Guan Yi'an wants to gain the young lady's trust, and she can do the same to gain Guan Yi'an's trust and then use it.
“Yes.” Meng Lingge explained, “He risked so much to save Qingyu, he will definitely try to stay by my side and look for every possible opportunity to harm me. Since that’s the case, I will give him this opportunity. You slowly gain his trust, and then he will definitely use you to deal with me. You just need to pretend to agree and notify me in advance, and he will walk into the trap.”
“But he already knows I am your maid, so he will be wary of me. He may not trust me.”
Moreover, knowing that the other party was the one who harmed her older brother, she found it very difficult to smile at him again.
Meng Lingge looked intently into Lu Shui's eyes and said.
“He’s run out of tricks now and won’t let any opportunity slip by. If you inadvertently show dissatisfaction with me while you’re treating him, he’ll take the bait. I’ve already found out that the drug that made him mute was the same poison my father gave Guan Yi’an. I’ve found the antidote at the Imperial Hospital, and you can use that to strengthen his trust in you. Of course, Guan Yi’an is a cautious person, so this won’t be easy and it’s dangerous. If you’re not willing, I won’t force you.”
“I’m willing.” Green Water bit her lip and said, “I’m not afraid of danger or trouble. I’ll do anything to avenge my brother. But I’m afraid I won’t perform well, that I won’t act naturally in front of him, and that I won’t be able to gain his trust.”
"I will be entering the palace in a couple of days. I will leave you here to take care of him. You don't need to be too enthusiastic. If you are dissatisfied with my arrangements, lack patience in front of him, and show resentment, it will attract his attention. I will send people to protect you secretly. If there is any danger, don't worry about the plan, take care of your own safety first."
Meng Lingge knew that Lu Shui might stop at nothing to avenge her elder brother.
She wanted to lure the snake out of its hole, but she didn't want Green Water to be harmed by the snake.
"Once he can speak, he will definitely try to get information from you. You can tell him about the situation at Princess Qiongxiao's residence. Remember, he is the one who is anxious right now. Don't take the initiative, don't probe, and patiently wait for Guan Yi'an to come to you."
"I remember, miss. Wait for my good news."
As Lu Shui listened, her eyes grew brighter. She was both nervous and excited, knowing she was about to outwit and outmaneuver the person who had harmed her brother.
After the master and servant discussed and finalized a few details, Green Water was assigned to be near Guan Yi'an's room to take care of Guan Yi'an's injuries.
When Guan Yi'an saw Lu Shui, he guessed that Meng Lingge was still worried about his identity and had specially sent her personal maid to monitor him. He was careful in everything he did and cautious at all times, for fear that Lu Shui would notice something unusual.
But soon he realized that this girl didn't seem to be there to monitor him at all. Green Water would never come until it was time to change the dressing, and when she did come, she had no patience and looked unpleasant, as if he owed her money.
His expression grew even colder when others mentioned the princess.
Two days passed, and Guan Yi'an became increasingly curious about the green water.
Meng Lingge hasn't come to see him in the last two days, as if she's forgotten about him.
Of course, it's normal that she didn't come, since she's about to enter the palace as empress and she's been too busy to get away for the last two days.
As Guan Yi'an thought this, she suddenly felt extremely bitter.
Meng Lingge was as beautiful as a fairy on her wedding day, and today, as she is crowned empress, she will surely be dazzling in her full regalia.
Unfortunately, he didn't even have the chance to witness this scene this time.
Out of jealousy and resentment, he punched the wall a few times, which aggravated his wound, causing him to wince in pain.
As Lu Shui stepped through the door, she witnessed this scene.
"Honestly, I just changed your dressing this morning, how did you get hurt again? Everyone else has gone to the palace to enjoy themselves, but I have to stay here to take care of you. And you just won't stop, you're so hard to please..."
Lu Shuilai rarely speaks here, but this time he spoke quite a bit, his words full of complaints.
Guan Yi'an's lips curled up slightly as she listened.
He saw everyone in the mansion today beaming with joy and smiles, and now there was finally someone as unhappy as he was.
This young girl, like him, did not think that Meng Lingge becoming empress was a joyous occasion.
Guan Yi'an felt inexplicably excited because of this strange commonality.
...
The weather is exceptionally nice today, with clear skies and a gentle breeze.
The entire palace was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and red silk stretched from the palace gate all the way to the Prince of Anshun's residence. At the break of dawn, Meng Lingge and Wen Zhiming got up and dressed up, wearing dragon and phoenix robes and the golden crowns of the Emperor and Empress. They then boarded the luxurious carriage that headed to the palace.
