"Your Majesty, why are you so worried about Lin Qingya?" Li Rui stepped forward, his eyes flashing, and there was a hint of tentativeness in his tone. Li Heng looked back at him with a complicated look. He was silent for a moment and said, "She is too smart. No one in this palace can escape her eyes." Li Rui smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten that she is your chess piece, your power, and she will not do anything to hurt you." Li Heng did not answer. There was a flash of struggle in his eyes, and he did not give up using Lin Qingya after all.
Lin Qingya walked back to her bedroom, hearing Li Heng's words. She frowned slightly. She knew that what Li Heng said was not groundless. Everyone in the palace was eyeing her covetously, so she had to stay alert.
"Ms. Lin, you are so lucky!" A sarcastic voice came from behind. Lin Qingya turned around and saw Zhao Sisi walking towards her with several palace maids with a smug smile on her face.
"Miss Sisi, I wonder if you have any advice for me?" Lin Qingya's tone was calm, but there was a cold light in her eyes. Zhao Sisi chuckled and said, "Nothing, I just want to see what kind of magic you, the favored Lady Lin, have that can make His Majesty so favored." Zhao Sisi walked forward while speaking, she grabbed Lin Qingya's arm tightly, and said with a hint of sarcasm in her tone, "Lady Lin, you are so lucky. You got what everyone in this palace wants so easily. It's really enviable!"
Lin Qingya's brows were getting tighter and tighter. She could feel the deep jealousy and hatred in Zhao Sisi's eyes. She calmly withdrew her lips and said, "Miss Sisi, you think too much. I'm just doing what I should do." Zhao Sisi sneered and said, "Doing what you should do? Who knows what you are planning? Do you think you can hide it from everyone?" After Zhao Sisi finished speaking, her eyes swept around Lin Qingya. There was a hint of viciousness in her eyes, as if she was going to pounce on Lin Qingya and tear her to pieces in the next second.
Lin Qingya's heart skipped a beat. She knew that Zhao Sisi must have known something. She looked around quietly, but she didn't find anything unusual. Seeing that Lin Qingya didn't say anything, Zhao Sisi sneered and said, "Lin Qingya, just wait. Your good days are over." Then she left with a group of palace maids.
Lin Qingya stood there, watching Zhao Sisi's back as she left. She was filled with uneasiness. She knew that Zhao Sisi would not do this to her for no reason. She must be planning something. Lin Qingya took a deep breath and decided that she would not sit there and wait for death. She must investigate Zhao Sisi's conspiracy.
Lin Qingya returned to the bedroom. She carefully checked every corner of the bedroom. She did not find anything unusual, but her intuition told her that Zhao Sisi would definitely move in her bedroom.
"Ms. Lin, you're back?" A palace maid's voice came from behind. Lin Qingya turned around and saw that it was her personal maid Xiaohong, with a worried look on Xiaohong's face.
Lin Qingya nodded and said, "Xiaohong, have you felt anything unusual recently?" Xiaohong shook her head and said, "No, Mr. Lin, what's wrong with you?" Lin Qingya didn't say anything. She just pulled Xiaohong to her side and whispered, "Xiaohong, remember, no matter what happens, you must protect yourself and never trust anyone." As she said that, she stuffed a small medicine bottle into Xiaohong's palm and said, "This is an antidote. If someone poisons you, take it."
Xiaohong took the medicine bottle, her eyes full of doubts, but she still nodded and said, "I will, Lin." Lin Qingya looked at Xiaohong's eyes, she knew that she could only rely on Xiaohong.
Lin Qingya walked into her bedroom. She didn't find anything unusual, but she felt even more uneasy. She walked to the table and picked up a cup of tea. She picked up the cup and sniffed it gently. The aroma of tea filled her nose, but there was nothing unusual. She put down the cup and turned around to rest.
At this moment, she suddenly felt dizzy. She held on to the table weakly with her feet, trying to support herself, but she found that her body was getting weaker and weaker, and her consciousness was getting more and more blurred.
"Lin Qingya, you finally fell into the trap!" A cold voice came from her ears. Lin Qingya raised her head and saw Zhao Sisi standing at the door with a smug smile on her face.
"Zhao Sisi, you..." Lin Qingya wanted to speak, but she found that she could not make a sound.
"Lin Qingya, do you think you can escape from my grasp?" Zhao Sisi stepped forward, she reached her hand into Lin Qingya's sleeve, and touched a small jade pendant from her body. She looked at the jade pendant with resentment in her eyes.
"This jade pendant was given to you by Li Rui, right?" Zhao Sisi sneered and said, "Lin Qingya, you are so lucky to be loved by both Li Heng and Li Rui at the same time. It really makes people envious and jealous!"
Lin Qingya leaned weakly on the table. She could only stare at Zhao Sisi. She had no way to stop Zhao Sisi. She couldn't even move.
"Lin Qingya, do you think you can keep being so proud? You are wrong, you will eventually lose everything, you will become everyone's laughing stock, you will..." Before Zhao Sisi finished her words, Lin Qingya suddenly felt a strange sound coming from her ears. She forced to open her eyes, and she saw that Zhao Sisi's fingers were trembling slightly, and her eyes were filled with fear.
Lin Qingya didn't know what happened, but she felt that this seemed to be an opportunity. She endured the weakness of her body and turned her eyes to Zhao Sisi's fingers. She found that Zhao Sisi's fingers were trembling slightly, and her eyes were full of fear.
Lin Qingya suddenly realized something, and she tried hard to speak, but she could only make a weak sound.
"Zhao Sisi, you..." Before Lin Qingya could finish her words, Zhao Sisi screamed and turned around and ran out of the room.
Lin Qingya looked at Zhao Sisi's running back, her heart full of doubts. She didn't know what had happened, but she knew that this was definitely not appropriate.
Lin Qingya endured the pain in her body, she stood up and wanted to chase Zhao Sisi, but her body could not support her and she could only fall to the ground weakly.
"Mr. Lin, what happened to you?" Xiao Hong ran forward in panic. She helped Lin Qingya up and asked, "Are you okay?"
Lin Qingya shook her head, trying to endure the pain, and whispered, "I'm fine. Go check on Zhao Sisi. She must be up to something."
Xiaohong nodded. She helped Lin Qingya lie back on the bed, then turned around and ran away. She wanted to chase Zhao Sisi, but she didn't know where to find Zhao Sisi.
Lin Qingya lay on the bed. She felt her body getting weaker and weaker. She didn't know how long she could hold on.
"Lin Xiaohong..." Xiaohong's voice came from outside the door. Lin Qingya endured the pain and said, "Xiaohong, what's wrong with you?"
Xiaohong ran into the room with a cup of tea in her hand. She handed the cup to Lin Qingya and said, "Mr. Lin, this is the tea I just brewed. Please have a sip."
Lin Qingya took the teacup and looked at the tea in it. Her heart was full of doubts. She didn't know why Xiaohong gave her tea, and she didn't know whether the tea contained poison.
"Mr. Lin, what's wrong with you?" Xiaohong looked at Lin Qingya's expression and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Lin Qingya did not answer. She put the teacup on the table beside the bed. She looked at Xiaohong, her eyes full of vigilance.
"Mr. Lin, what's wrong with you?" Xiaohong looked at Lin Qingya's eyes. She felt a little uneasy. She asked, "Are you doubting me?"
Lin Qingya did not answer, she just looked at Xiaohong silently.
"Mr. Lin, you really misunderstood me, I..." Xiaohong wanted to explain, but she didn't know how to explain. She could only stand there silently and look at Lin Qingya.
"Xiaohong..." Lin Qingya's voice was very low. She whispered: "Tell me, why did you give me tea? Why did you do this?"
Xiaohong was silent for a moment, then she said, "Mr. Lin, I... I just wanted you to have some tea. You... you look very tired recently."
