Xiao Lingling just found it funny and waved her hands, "I know what you are going to say, but unfortunately, it's too late!
I've already done it, and I did it openly! It's a good thing you're here, I have something to give you, maybe it can help you."
As she spoke, Xiao Lingling took out a small porcelain bottle from her arms and said, "There are three pills in it. This is the antidote to the poison I fed Qin Shuxiang.
You have to take it once a month. It is not convenient for me to travel back and forth to Beijing, so I will give you the antidote for these three months.
What you do with the antidote is up to you, but I need your help!
The Qin family, especially Qin Shuxiang, has done a lot of bad things in secret. I need you to help me keep an eye on it and look for evidence in the capital.
Of course, I won't be idle either. I also knew some news that might be related to Qin Shuxiang, and I will continue to investigate.
When I have made all the preparations, it will be time for me to avenge my grandfather!
We can help each other, so what do you think? Are you willing to help?"
Su Jingshuo was dumbfounded. He had no idea how she could have done it and actually poisoned Qin Shuxiang.
It's not that he hadn't tried it before, but Qin Shuxiang was very cautious. No matter whether the food was made in his own small kitchen or sent from the imperial kitchen, he had to test it several times.
So, he tried several times but failed.
He even thought about assassination, but it was in the palace after all, so it was too risky, so he could only wait for Concubine Xiang to come out.
But every time she left the palace, she was accompanied by many guards and never spent the night outside.
This made it impossible for him to use many of his methods, which was really maddening.
But now Xiao Lingdang told him that she had successfully poisoned Qin Shuxiang and could even control her poison. It was really unbelievable no matter how one thought about it.
But looking at Xiao Lingling's serious expression, he knew that this must be true.
Take the porcelain bottle.
"Of course I am willing. Such a good thing is something that others would never be able to obtain even if they beg for it!"
Little Bell shrugged, "This isn't an easy job either. Be careful, she might hold a grudge against you and start taking action against you. You still have to be careful."
"It doesn't matter. I've been a thorn in her side for a long time. I've already suffered a loss this time, so I won't do it again!
Don't worry, I won't do anything rash, but I won't let her go either. Just be sure to stay safe, too.
Just because she's not taking action now doesn't mean she won't in the future. She might just be trying to paralyze you. She also has a skilled poison maker under her, so he'll definitely find a way to detoxify you.
Regardless of whether you are unlocked or not, you are in danger. We should assign more people to guard you during this period. Don't go out unless necessary."
Little Bell was not panicked at all. "It's okay. I'm not afraid of her coming, I'm just afraid of her not coming! She wouldn't be that stupid, and neither would I. Don't worry."
After Su Jingshuo gave the instructions, he should have left, but he hesitated for a long time, his eyes constantly wandering around Xiao Lingling's face, but he couldn't say anything.
Little Bell looked at him puzzledly, thinking he had something else to do.
But after waiting for a long time, Su Jingshuo didn't say anything. He turned around, said take care, and left.
Little Bell was completely confused.
What the hell! You're so hesitant and not decisive at all!
Little Bell pouted, looking a little unhappy. She closed the window and went to sleep.
Su Jingshuo, who was not far away, covered his pounding heart with his hand, a bitter smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.
Although I have doubted it thousands of times, now that I have confirmed my feelings, besides being happy, I also feel helpless and sad.
He knew clearly that he was moved, and he felt a little shameless for being attracted to a six-year-old girl.
However, this was the first time in his fourteen years of life that he had felt this way.
When he first found out, he was a little bit unconvinced. He just thought that she was grateful because he had been saved by her many times.
But slowly, he began to realize that something was wrong.
Many people have helped him in the past two years, and he is grateful to many people, but the only one whose heartbeat quickens when he sees them is Xiao Lingling.
Knowing that she was in danger, he would be worried and anxious, and even wish he could take her place. That feeling obviously cannot be described simply by gratitude.
But he also knew that there was no possibility between them.
Not to mention that Xiao Lingling is only six years old and still a child, just based on their identities, it is impossible for them to be together.
Xiao Lingling is his adopted sister, and she is listed in the royal family. This alone is a fact that cannot be changed.
In this life, he can only be Xiao Lingling's royal brother, nothing more.
However, as this was his first time facing love, he really didn't know how to relieve his sadness and loss. Nothing was more frustrating than ending something before it even began.
He stayed outside for a very long time, recalling over and over again what he and Xiao Lingdang had experienced.
Finally, he turned and left when it was almost dawn, with a hint of attachment in his eyes.
He did not alarm anyone and quietly left with his people, leaving only a letter in front of Xiao Lingling's window.
Xiao Lingling expressed her incomprehension of his behavior, but did not delve into it further.
Maybe he returned to Beijing for some urgent matter?
So, she still eats and drinks as usual and doesn't take anything to heart.
Liu Jingrou, who noticed some things coming out, had no intention of reminding anyone. She just sighed quietly, lamenting the cruel ways of the world.
However, she did have something to ask Xiao Lingdang, so she grabbed her before Xiao Lingdang was about to take Jing Yan to practice.
"Xiao Lingling, shouldn't your Uncle Wang have written to me in the past couple of days? Why haven't I received it? Maybe he didn't pay attention? Can you help me ask?"
Xiao Lingling was stunned and counted the time. It seemed that she was indeed one day late compared to the letter she and Uncle Wang had agreed to write every three days.
Logically, I should have received the letter yesterday, but why haven’t I seen it yet?
Her heart skipped a beat, but she didn't show it on her face. "Oh, right, maybe someone accidentally took the wrong one. So, Aunt Liu, wait a moment, I'll ask someone."
Liu Jingrou was also worried, and she didn't sleep much last night.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Xiao Lingdang smiled and shook her head, then turned back to the yard and called Chunying, "Chunying, have you received any letters from Uncle Wang in the past two days?"
Chunying shook her head. "It seems not. I haven't seen the carrier pigeon come back in the past two days. I was just about to report it to you."
Xiao Lingdang's face froze. "Okay, I understand. If Aunt Liu's people come to ask, just say you received it yesterday but forgot about it because you were busy. Got it?"
Chunying nodded to show that she understood.
Xiao Lingling then returned to the house and took out a letter from the space that Su Daoxiu had written overnight.
