He Ning smiled.
If Yun Lianhua hadn't come, the charge of poisoning couldn't have been directly pinned on her.
It can be said that Yun Lianhua arrived at just the right time.
She gestured for Granny Song to open the door.
Granny Song went over and opened the door.
Yun Lianhua walked in, bowed to He Ning, and then placed the bird's nest in front of He Ning.
She was about to offer He Ning some bird's nest soup when He Ning stopped her.
He Ning said gently, "Lian'er, don't worry about the bird's nest for now. Come with me, I have something to show you!"
As she spoke, she pulled Yun Lianhua toward the back of the screen.
Yun Lianhua had no choice but to follow He Ning into the inner room.
Inside, a flowing, wide-sleeved fairy dress hung.
Although the dress is white, it is sewn with gold thread, silver thread, and kingfisher feather thread... Under the embellishment of those silk threads, the ordinary white dress becomes radiant and very beautiful.
Yun Lianhua's eyes brightened, and her voice became tinged with excitement.
"Mother...Mother...this dress, is it for me?"
He Ning waved her hand: "No, this is a style I saw a few days ago when I was thinking about making clothes for your sister. I think it would look really good on her. But your sister has a special kind of charm, so I'm not sure. I wanted to ask you for your opinion!"
Yun Lianhua: ...
If it wasn't meant for her, why should she see it?
Seeing Yun Lianhua's expression change slightly, He Ning found it amusing and continued, "Yours, Mother has naturally prepared one for you as well. It will be delivered in a couple of days; you'll definitely like it when you see it!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Lianhua's expression softened somewhat.
She glanced at the flowing, wide-sleeved dress and said, "This dress doesn't seem to suit your temperament, sister."
He Ning nodded: "You're right, I'll think about it some more. Let's drink the bird's nest soup first."
Her purpose in pulling Yun Lianhua over to look at the dress was to buy time for Granny Song to change the bird's nest.
Yun Lianhua's opinion is not important.
When He Ning returned to the outer room, she saw that Granny Song nodded to her subtly, and she knew that the bird's nest had been replaced.
This was a plan they had discussed long ago, and the replacement bird's nest was always ready, just waiting for Yun Lianhua to arrive.
He Ning calmly sat down, picked up the bird's nest soup, and began to drink it.
As she drank, she couldn't help but praise, "Lian'er's cooking skills are getting better and better! This bird's nest soup is becoming more and more delicious!"
Yun Lianhua couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Now that He Ning dotes on Yun Chuwei, she is furious and wants He Ning to be poisoned sooner, so she added an extra dose of poison to the bird's nest. She was originally worried that He Ning would notice something was wrong when he tasted it.
"I'm glad my mother is happy. From now on, I'll make bird's nest soup for her every day," Yun Lianhua said with a smile.
He Ning smiled and said, "It will be difficult for Lian'er!"
"How could this be a troublesome matter?" Yun Lianhua said with a smile.
As they were talking, He Ning had already finished drinking the bird's nest soup. The medicine she had just taken was also beginning to take effect.
Her face gradually turned pale, her lips slowly turned bluish-purple, and she swayed precariously.
Granny Song feigned great surprise.
"Madam! What's wrong? Someone come here! Quickly, call the royal physician!"
After instructing someone to fetch the doctor, Granny Song held He Ning in her arms.
She glared at Yun Lianhua, and said with heartache, "Second Miss, how could you poison Madam? Why did you do this?"
"I...I didn't..." Yun Lianhua was terrified by the situation and could only shake her head in denial.
She didn't understand why things had turned out this way.
The person clearly stated that the medicine was a slow-acting poison, and that the poison would only take effect after all the poison had been consumed.
She added an extra packet of poison simply to make He Ning consume it as soon as possible.
But even if I ate one more pack, I shouldn't be poisoned now, right?
He even succumbed to the poison right in front of her, how could this happen?
He Ning coughed up a mouthful of black blood and spoke with difficulty to Granny Song, "It can't be... Lian'er's... I believe her... I..."
Before she could finish speaking, He Ning fainted.
-
News of He Ning's poisoning and fainting quickly reached Yun Chuwei's courtyard.
Upon hearing the news, Guiyan cried out in anguish, "Ah! How could this happen? Madam! Who wants to harm you? Madam, you can't be hurt!"
After saying that, she rushed out.
Yun Chuwei: ...
She could understand Guiyan's feelings, but was it really necessary to run so fast?
She stood up and slowly walked out, her mind filled with doubt.
Previously, He Ning's face did show signs of poisoning, but today she saw that the signs of poisoning had basically disappeared.
How did he suddenly become poisoned and fall into a coma?
This question lingered until Yun Chuwei met He Ning.
The moment she saw He Ning, she could tell that there was no deathly aura on his face.
On the surface, it appears to be poisoning, and the attack seems fierce, but in reality, it is not life-threatening; it seems more like a setup.
Yun Chuwei glanced at Yun Lianhua, who was sitting restlessly to the side, and raised her eyebrows slightly.
She roughly guessed He Ning's purpose.
The slow-acting poison in He Ning's body was clearly administered by Yun Lianhua according to a plan, orchestrated by someone. Now that the plan has gone wrong, Yun Lianhua will undoubtedly contact the person behind it all immediately.
It's estimated that He Ning wants to find out who's behind this through Yun Lianhua.
It seems that He Ning has already arranged for people to keep an eye on Yun Lianhua.
She wouldn't mind helping He Ning out.
She glanced around and said, "Where's Yun Qianming? Why didn't he come? Mother was poisoned, and as her only son in the capital, how can he not show up? Yun Lianhua, aren't you going to go see him?"
If Yun Lianhua doesn't leave, how can she contact the person behind the scenes?
