When the carriage arrived at the Duke of Yan's Mansion, Meng Guxue got off the carriage wearing a curtain.
Xiao Tao was serving on the side, and suddenly her eyes lit up.
"Look, Miss, that seems to be the Qiao family's carriage!"
Meng Guxue lifted the curtain and took a look when she heard the words, and she felt both happy and nervous at the same time.
Great, she really got it right!
Xiao Tao stepped forward and introduced herself, and the doorman of the Duke of Yan's Mansion quickly invited them in through the second gate.
As they were walking, Mrs. Qiao and Zuo An Ning came towards them.
At this time, Meng Guxue had already taken down the curtain fence, and Qiao Jiaojiao was held in Mrs. Qiao's arms, her big eyes staring at her steadily.
After the two sides exchanged greetings, Mrs. Qiao immediately invited Meng Guxue in.
On the way, Meng Guxue congratulated Zuo An Ning very enthusiastically, but when her eyes fell on Mrs. Qiao, she seemed to want to say something but stopped herself several times.
Qiao Jiaojiao saw it and knew what was going on.
[Meng Guxue is really coming for our Qiao family! ]
[Wait a little longer, she will definitely take the initiative to speak up about this matter of life and death! ]
Sure enough, before the four of them reached the main hall, Meng Guxue suddenly stopped.
Mrs. Qiao turned her head to look at Meng Guxue and asked, pretending to be ignorant: "Princess Nanning, what's wrong with you?"
Meng Guxue knew that he couldn't delay any longer, so he took a deep breath and said seriously:
"Mrs. Qiao, your eldest daughter-in-law was nearly poisoned at the Wanshou Palace banquet yesterday. I know the inside story!"
Mrs. Qiao's face suddenly changed when she heard this, and Zuo An Ning was so scared that she covered her mouth.
Qiao Jiaojiao was surprised and happy!
[Meng Guxue would definitely not joke about this kind of thing. Now it seems that she does know some inside information that I don't know! ]
"Princess Nanning, you...you said..."
Mrs. Qiao was also really shocked. After all, even Jiaojiao couldn't be sure who had poisoned her.
As soon as the words were spoken, Meng Guxue felt a lot more relaxed.
"Mrs. Qiao, what I said is true. I want to meet Mr. Qiao and talk about the inside story. Is that okay?"
Mrs. Qiao was overjoyed, so she discussed it with Meng Guxue and took her to a small pavilion in the middle of a lake in the Duke of Yan's Mansion.
The view there is wide and there is no support on all sides, which can prevent anyone from eavesdropping.
Meng Guxue sat in the pavilion for a while, and then saw Qiao Zhongguo holding Qiao Jiaojiao in his arms, followed by Qiao Tianjing, walking along the water corridor with a stern look on his face.
Meng Guxue was nervous and stood up hurriedly.
Qiao Zhongguo walked to the pavilion and greeted Meng Guxue across a small stone table.
"Princess Nanning, this is about my eldest daughter-in-law, so I brought Dalang with me. Do you mind?"
As for Qiao Jiaojiao, the little baby in his arms, no one would care about her.
Meng Guxue nodded slightly. She knew that Qiao Tianjing was also a capable person, and it would be even better with him around!
"Now, could you please, Princess, help us solve the puzzle?"
Meng Guxue pretended to be calm, but her palms were actually sweating. This was her first time dealing with a big shot like Qiao Zhongguo.
"Master Qiao, I'll be straight to the point. The one who poisoned Miss Han was the Second Prince!"
Qiao Zhongguo had long guessed who was behind this, but he still looked extremely shocked.
"The Second Prince? How could it be the Second Prince? Princess Nanning, do you have any evidence? The Second Prince has no grudges against our Qiao family, so why would he want to harm my daughter-in-law?"
Meng Guxue saw the surprised expressions on Qiao Zhongguo and Qiao Tianjing's faces and thought to herself:
The Qiao family really didn't know what the second prince was thinking! If I hadn't reminded them this time, I'm afraid the Qiao family would still fall into the situation in the dream where the whole family would be destroyed!
Thinking of this, Meng Guxue felt more confident.
She also came to help the Qiao family, so it was a mutually beneficial situation for them.
"Master Qiao, that cup of poisoned tea may not kill people, but it may make women infertile?"
Qiao Zhongguo's expression changed again, with an expression of "how did you know?"
Meng Guxue became more confident when he saw this, and said in a deep voice: "That is a cold poison, a secret medicine from the Northern Kingdom. If you don't believe it, Lord Qiao, you will know it after checking it out!"
At that time, she heard the conversation between the eldest princess and Shen Lang outside the door. After the eldest princess left, she felt sorry for them and asked Shen Lang a question.
The Shen Lang in the dream obeyed her in everything and did not hide anything from her. He told her directly that this was a secret medicine of the Northern Kingdom court that was not to be passed on to others and there was no antidote, so she should not worry.
Qiao Zhongguo's expression changed several times, and after a while he asked:
"Princess Nanning, since this is a secret medicine from the Northern Kingdom, how did you know about it? And how can you be sure that the poison was instigated by the Second Prince?"
Meng Guxue had long expected Qiao Zhongguo to ask this question, but she really couldn't tell the truth about this matter.
If she told Qiao Zhongguo that all this was just a dream, he might just walk away on the spot!
"Master Qiao, the details of this matter are too complicated. I cannot tell you in detail, but I am willing to swear that all the above is true!"
Qiao Jiaojiao: “…”
[It seems that Meng Guxue came here before she could think of a reason...]
[If our Qiao family hadn't known about the Second Prince's evil ambitions long ago, and that he and Meng Guxue were on the same page, Dad would have just left right now! ]
[Of course, Meng Guxue has to gain our trust, so we have to confuse Meng Guxue. The show still needs to be performed.]
Qiao Zhongguo felt helpless in his heart. Wouldn't this make it difficult for his acting skills?
But he is a veteran actor after all, and in the blink of an eye his face turned sad and terrified.
"Thank you, Princess, for coming to tell me this in person. I will investigate the matter of the cold poison as soon as possible, but Second Prince..."
"You can always tell me why the Second Prince wants to harm my Qiao family, right? Moreover, you came here today to tell me this matter, but what is the deep meaning?"
Meng Guxue saw that he had finally gotten to the point, and without hesitation, he lowered his voice and said:
"Because the Second Prince wants the throne! He has the blood of the Northern Kingdom, so it is impossible for him to ascend the throne, but the emperor favors him, and this is his greatest reliance!"
"If he wants to ascend the throne, he must first dethrone the crown prince. As the crown prince is the legitimate heir, and he has the support of loyal ministers like you, he must unravel the mystery step by step."
"And your Qiao family will bear the brunt of the consequences. You are the target that the Second Prince must eliminate!"
Qiao Jiaojiao: “…”
[Straightforward, really straightforward, this Meng Guxue is really reckless and brave. ]
[If these words were to get out, we would both be beheaded! ]
Meng Guxue was afraid that Qiao Zhongguo would not believe it, so she quickly laid out the "evidence" that she had just searched for in the carriage for a long time.
"Master Qiao! Master Qiao, you wrote a lot of manuscripts, but you didn't destroy them yourself!"
"These manuscripts are actually kept by the evil servants. The Second Prince has already heard the news!"
"Master Qiao, when you return, please eliminate the hidden danger immediately. Otherwise, if the manuscript falls into the hands of the Second Prince, you will be doomed!"
Qiao Tianjing, who was suddenly pointed at, said: "......"
Great, I remembered the stupid things I did.
It was also difficult for Meng Guxue to bring this matter up, which shows that she really put a lot of thought into gaining the trust of the Qiao family.
In this way, he would fulfill her wish and also accomplish his and his father's plan!
Thinking of this, Qiao Tianjing's face suddenly changed, and he cried out in panic:
"You...I...this...is bad for Dad, it's true!"
