Cuiping couldn't believe the prince's words and cried, "Your Highness, Your Highness, you can't treat me like this! You're the only one in my heart. Your Highness, I promise I'll serve you with all my heart from now on... Waaah..."
Before Cuiping could finish speaking, the guards who came in gagged her and dragged her out.
Granny Li fainted when the prince said he would throw her into the snake pit.
Seeing this, Hu Qing shook his head inwardly.
This Granny Li is really courting death; no one can stop her.
Previously, the prince had two sore spots: Consort Jiang and the heir apparent. Now, with Miss Su by his side, he has three.
Li Mama can kill two at once; if she doesn't die, who will?
As Granny Li was being dragged out, a jade pendant fell out of her clothes, which Hu Qing picked up.
"Your Highness, this doesn't seem to be from the manor; it looks more like something from the palace."
Xiao Yanchu glanced at it and said, "Isn't Princess Fengxi looking for her jade pendant? Take it to Princess Fengxi, and remember to send her a generous gift as well."
Wei Yinshuang was still waiting for news from Granny Li and was in a good mood, so she took Lin Wanqing out to buy rouge and face powder.
When they returned to the carriage after buying the rouge, they found an exquisite sandalwood box inside.
Out of curiosity, Wei Yingshuang asked Qingyun to open the box and take a look.
Then————
ah----! ! ! ! !
Qingyun screamed and threw the box away. A bloody human head rolled out of the box.
When Wei Yingshuang and Lin Wanqing saw the human head, they screamed in fright, their faces turning pale. They retreated repeatedly, pressing their bodies tightly against the carriage.
Along with the severed head, a jade pendant and a pair of witchcraft dolls also rolled out.
The head was pale and had its eyes tightly closed; it was none other than Granny Li.
Wei Yingshuang was terrified. After regaining her senses, she slapped Lin Wanqing across the face.
Lin Wanqing's fair face swelled up instantly, and the five finger marks were clearly visible.
"Didn't you say this plan would succeed? How come Granny Li is dead!" With a slap, Wei Yingshuang's fear subsided somewhat.
Upon seeing the contents of the box, Wei Yingshuang knew her plan had failed. These items must have been sent by the Regent as a warning to her.
Lin Wanqing covered her slapped face, lowered her head, and a hint of malice flashed in her eyes.
She clenched her fists tightly, trying to control her facial expression. When she raised her head, she looked pitiful.
“Princess, this is not my fault. Perhaps it was Granny Li who gave herself away, or did something else shameful that the Prince discovered.”
If this little bitch wasn't still somewhat useful, Wei Yinshuang would have killed her right now.
"Lin Wanqing, I'm warning you, if you fail to accomplish your cousin's task, don't even think about returning to Yanyang alive."
Lin Wanqing took a deep breath and lowered her head: "Yes, Princess."
Lin Wanqing had heard Zhao Jiao mention that a distant cousin of hers had proposed marriage to Su Ruojin, but Zhao Jiao had refused.
Now Zhao Jiao just needs to make this a reality.
Marriage is a major life event, and it's not always a matter of parents' orders and matchmakers' words. How could Su Ruojin not accept it?
But what if something goes wrong again?
Wei Yinshuang will definitely not let me off the hook then.
Lin Wanqing's mind was racing.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
Ha, how could a modern person like me be no match for this brainless Princess Fengxi?
