However, her gaze swept naturally over Yao Huang, then she lowered her eyes, a hint of ill intent flashing in them.
"You've slapped me in the face like this, now you'll taste what it's like to get your revenge!"
And so, one day, two days, three days passed. Jiaming taught diligently and showed no dissatisfaction whatsoever, but Yao Huang, who was watching closely, and the Fujin who was always concerned about the situation here, became more and more uneasy.
The master and servant spent increasingly longer periods of time discussing things inside the house.
Not only that, Xiao Hezi reported to her that the Fujin had very serious dark circles under her eyes, looked very haggard, and the candle in the room stayed lit for a very long time at night.
As for Yao Huang, who had been accompanying Chef Yao to Peach Garden, her face looked terrible. She kept rubbing her eyes and pressing her forehead, as if she had a headache.
Hearing and seeing people like this, Jiaming was very satisfied.
"Master, your move was brilliant!" After so many days, Xiao Hezi had come to understand his master's methods.
Doing nothing can make the other person so miserable.
Red Peach and Green Willow exchanged a glance.
Do you understand?
I don't understand, do you?
I don't understand either?
The two looked at Jiaming and Xiao Hezi with utter bewilderment.
The two looked at him with pleading eyes.
Jiaming smiled and said, "I'd rather not tell you. You can guess slowly. Anyway, the Fujin hasn't reacted yet. I don't know if you two guessed it before or after the Fujin and the others."
Red Peach and Green Willow looked miserable, but suddenly, their eyes lit up when they saw Little Hezi.
"Xiao He, you're not allowed to tell them." With those words, Jiaming shut them up again.
Xiao He smiled apologetically at the two of them.
A few more days passed.
In the main room of the courtyard, the Fujin (principal wife) sat on the couch, with Liu Hong and Wei Zi standing behind her.
At the next stop, Yao Huang stood there, her face ashen and exhausted, reporting to her wife, who also looked haggard and tired, with dark circles under her eyes.
She frowned, clenched her fists, and endured the throbbing headache, trying her best to stay focused as she spoke.
But as she was talking, Yao Huang staggered and fainted.
Screams erupted from inside the house.
The princess was so panicked that her heart was pounding wildly, and she also had a throbbing pain in her forehead. As the pain intensified, her vision began to blur, and she could barely sit up.
Wei Zi and Liu Hong, who originally wanted to help Yao Huang up, hurriedly supported the Fujin. In the end, the Fujin, who had caught her breath, instructed Wei Zi to help Yao Huang to lie down on her couch.
After settling Yao Huang in, Wei Zi went outside to fetch a doctor.
With a cold face, the Fujin clutched her handkerchief as she looked at Yao Huang lying on the couch, muttering with a sinister expression, "Guarjia clan, since you dared to do this, don't blame me for being impolite. Even if Hongxuan showed kindness to Hui'er, don't think I'll let you off the hook!"
"You mean, Madam, that person from Taoyuan still did something while Yao Huang was watching her?" Liu Hong asked anxiously.
The Fujin nodded angrily and said, "That's not it. Yao Huang has always been in good health. How could he have become so pale, haggard, and exhausted in just a few days?! It must be that Guarjia clan did something to Yao Huang."
Upon reflection, Liu Hong realized it was true and couldn't help but say indignantly, "Then you, Madam, must stand up for Yao Huang!"
"Don't worry, I won't let this go so easily."
Just as the Fujin and Liu Hong were furious and considering how to deal with Jiaming, Wei Zi returned with the doctor.
After the doctor finished taking her pulse, Wei Zi, who was standing next to him, hurriedly asked, "Doctor, how is she?"
The doctor replied, "The problem isn't very serious."
Upon hearing this, the Fujin (principal wife) and Liu Hong, who were separated by the screen, breathed a sigh of relief.
Despite her exhaustion, the Fujin, who was barely able to sit up, felt she could no longer support herself and leaned against Liu Hong, who was supporting her.
Liu Hong quickly steadied herself and supported the Fujin's body.
The doctor continued, "She's just preoccupied with too many worries and lacks energy, which is why. A couple of doses of medicine and some rest will do the trick."
As he spoke, the doctor muttered to himself.
I never imagined that the Fourth Prince's wife, who was rumored to be so virtuous, would be such a difficult person to serve. Look at the pressure even her personal maid is under, serving her until she's completely exhausted. Haha, rumors really are unreliable.
The princess was unaware that, at this moment, her image was steadily declining in the doctor's eyes.
She was taken aback by the doctor's words and couldn't help but ask through the screen, "Is that all? No other reason? Could it be due to some kind of drug?"
Of course, it's not easy to say these speculations aloud, so she didn't say anything.
"That's all," the doctor replied, muttering to himself.
What do you mean by "that's all"?
Could it be that you think the maid isn't sick enough?
Upon hearing the doctor's affirmative answer, Fujin and Liu Hong exchanged bewildered glances.
But when she looked at Liu Hong's face, the Fujin felt that the other woman's face was somewhat doubled, and then everything went black before her eyes, and she also fainted.
Inside the room, there was a commotion and noise, but fortunately, Liu Hong and Wei Zi were very capable, and there was a doctor in the room, so it quickly quieted down.
The doctor took the princess's pulse and said, "The princess fainted because she was preoccupied with too many worries and her energy was depleted. She should take two doses of medicine and rest more."
When Jiaming learned the news from Xiao Hezi at Taoyuan, she clapped her hands and exclaimed, "Very good!"
Xiao Hezi looked at Jiaming with admiration, "Master, you are truly amazing. Even now, the Fujin and the others still haven't discovered it. However," he paused, a regretful expression on his face, "it's a pity that she'll realize it soon after fainting. Your methods may no longer be effective."
Jiaming wasn't disappointed. Instead, she smiled and said, "This is just right. After all, the more energy they expend, the greater the damage to their bodies. If the Fujin (princess) falls ill and can't get up, that would be a bit much. After all, she didn't harm your mistress, I; she just provoked me and angered me."
Xiao Hezi's lips twitched. "Master, I understand what you mean. If someone makes you unhappy, you make them unhappy too. But, the force with which you retaliated was a bit too much, wasn't it? Even the Fujin (princess) is dizzy."
Jiaming blinked innocently and said, "I never thought that the Princess Consort would get so fixated on this, and it's been almost ten days, and she still hasn't figured it out. She can't understand it herself and is just making trouble for herself. There's nothing I can do about it."
Xiao Hezi's lips twitched again. What do you mean by "no way"? He simply didn't intend to expose her. He was happy to see the Fujin and her confidante fall into her trap, living in constant fear and unease.
Just then, Red Peach and Green Willow chimed in.
"Master, we haven't figured it out either!" Hongtao looked at Jiaming and Xiao Hezi with a mournful expression.
"Yes," Green Willow chimed in. "Your Highness, you said the Fujin (princess's wife) is almost aware of what's going on. Could you tell me about it too? I really, really want to know what your trap is?"
