Su Yujiao was startled by her words and shook her head in objection: "No, Jiang Mengli will come to our door."
"What are you afraid of?" Qingmei said nonchalantly, "Just say hello to the guards and servants and say we haven't been here, right?"
After saying that, he opened the door and called two people to drag the unconscious Lingqiao away.
Su Yujiao had no power to make decisions at all. On the surface, Qingmei was a servant in this mansion and served her, but Qingmei made the decisions on many things.
Su Yujiao walked out of the room and looked at Lingqiao being dragged away. She felt very uneasy. "No, I have a bad feeling. I can't lock her up."
Although I haven't spent much time with Jiang Mengli, I still know a lot about her personality.
She is a person who will never let go of a grudge. Occasionally, you can hear Wen Mohan's comments about her, and the most common description is that she is cruel and ruthless.
Qingmei grabbed her and said, "You're scared like this by the daughter of a guilty minister. Even if she knew we locked Lingqiao up, what could she do?"
"It wouldn't be a bad thing if Jiang Mengli could come. If we can't get any results from Lingqiao, we can just interrogate her directly. That would actually save us a lot of trouble."
Su Yujiao: “!!” Very shocked.
I didn't expect that she would have such an idea.
Qingmei opened the bamboo basket, took out a piece of incense and placed it on the table. "Didn't Prince Yu say that the smell in the sachet was a bit strange? Then replace it with other incense and light it in his room at night."
As he spoke, he handed the incense to her, with a wicked smile on his face.
Su Yujiao took the incense box with trembling hands, her eyebrows furrowed tightly. "What does this incense do? Tell me."
Qingmei leaned close to his ear and chuckled, "He's sleepy, easily angered, his health is slowly deteriorating, and he'll die of illness..."
To put it simply, it is a chronic poison that makes him emotionally unstable, slowly poisons him, and causes his body to collapse.
Rumble~~
These words were like a bolt from the blue, making Su Yujiao's head buzz and her expression become terrified and dazed.
"No... no..." She staggered a few steps in a state of collapse, then fell back and sat down on the stool. "You are instigating me to kill him. How could I hurt him? You never said I would do these things."
"You just asked me to find a way to get the list of confidants and the orientation of those three things. Why did you force me to poison him?"
"I know Your Majesty is wary of him, but how much has he done for this country? You shouldn't just abandon him like this. How heartless!"
Qingmei is a strictly trained shadow soldier with a cold heart. She was not moved at all when she heard her words.
Every time I see her crying, looking so weak and helpless, I just feel that she is hypocritical and sentimental.
"I'm inherently ruthless. Being sentimental isn't a good thing." Qingmei looked down at her. "As long as the goal is achieved, Your Majesty won't care about the process. The fate of your family rests in my hands. If you want to stay safe, talk less and do more."
After saying this, he turned away indifferently and headed straight towards the direction where Lingqiao was imprisoned.
Su Yujiao stared blankly at the incense box in her hand, tears dripping from the corners of her eyes, her face pale and colorless, "Qiuzhi, why are you so tired? Sometimes I even want to die, not care about anything anymore, not think about anything."
Qiu Zhi was also helpless and could only comfort her: "Miss, don't be depressed. Everything will be fine. Let me go and change the incense."
"No, let me think about it." She put the incense box on the table and looked outside with empty eyes.
After an unknown amount of time, she stood up, opened the box, took out the things inside, and then hurriedly replaced them with ones of similar color.
Qiu Zhi didn't know what she was going to do, but she still helped to keep watch.
After she changed, she wrapped the incense in question in something and put it in her sleeve. "Come out with me. Tell the servants I'm going out for some fresh air. I'm feeling really suffocated."
…
Jiang Mengli waited for a long time but Lingqiao didn't come back. "Why did he take so long? Did something happen?"
Seeing that there were few patients, Agan said, "Why don't you go and take a look? I'm afraid the people in the mansion will make things difficult for her."
She thought for a moment, put down the things in her hands, gave Forrest Gump a few words, and left in a hurry.
Before she had gone far, a carriage suddenly stopped beside her, "Miss Jiang, wait a moment."
It was Su Yujiao calling her.
She took a look and walked over, "What's the matter?"
"Excuse me, could you please help me?" Su Yujiao handed her the brocade box. "Please help me check if there's anything wrong with this incense. If there's a problem, can you use something similar that's non-toxic and harmless as a substitute?"
Jiang Mengli opened it and smelled some of it. It was all in powder form, and the color was very green and bright.
After smelling it, she frowned and said, "This is very problematic. It contains a chronic poison that can easily cause people to lose control of their emotions. If you want a replacement, just find a non-toxic and harmless incense of the same color."
Su Yujiao: “…” Her heart sank.
So this is really a problem...
Jiang Mengli suddenly thought of Lingqiao and asked, "Lingqiao went to Prince Yu's Mansion, why hasn't she come back yet?"
When talking about "cleverness", Su Yujiao felt a little flustered. She didn't know whether she should say it or not. If Qingmei knew about it, both her husband and son would be in trouble.
"Skillful...skillful?" Su Yujiao swallowed nervously and lied, "I'm not sure. I've been out for a while. Why don't you go find it yourself?"
"Um... do you have an antidote that can cure a lot of poisons? I'd like to buy some for emergencies. How much does it cost?"
Because he was too nervous, his hands in his sleeves trembled slightly when he spoke, and his voice sounded a little strange.
