Evil Lady: My Hubby is a Traitor - C52

Chapter 52 – Progressive Toxicity

In the study, Yun Qianliang was currently flipping through the records sent over by the Jing Zhao Mansion, the records of the interrogation were already organized into a file for future reference, and inside it, the time of the servants entering the palace was recorded in detail, as well as the master who served them. Yun Qianliang had only briefly seen their relationship, but what Yun Qianliang cared the most about was still the interrogation between Su Qing and Wen Meng.

Su Qing had been in the palace for more than five years, and she was not allowed to talk about being pampered, but when she first entered the residence, she had specially arranged for servants to serve him, and the servants to personally prepare everything for him. The treatment of the servants could be said to be extremely good, but after Wen Meng’s arrival, the mansion’s limelight gradually changed, the treatment becoming worse off by the day, the servants that Wen Meng served were taken away, and on the basis of the mansion’s rules, they were not assigned servants to serve him.

However, Wen Meng’s interrogation was watertight, and did not find any mistakes. Instead, it made people suspicious.

Yun Qianliang lazily supported herself with her head, her fingers lightly tapped the table as her gaze moved back and forth between the two files.

“Madam, I saw that you have not been in a good mood lately, so I decided to make some tonifying soup s to replenish your vital energy and blood.” Shui Qin brought a portion of tonifying soup and carefully placed it on the desk, in case there was anything important to be done.

Yun Qianliang’s eyes fell on the tonifying soup, her fingertips stopping her tapping, “It’s probably because I haven’t rested well recently.”

“Madam has something that this servant is not worthy of saying.” Shui Qin hugged the tray, hesitating.

“In the Cloud Water Pavilion, as long as you have no ulterior motives, there are no rules. If you have something to say, just say it.” Yun Qianliang straightened her head and retracted her arm. She rubbed her glabella in fatigue and leaned back to rest.

“Xiao Cui is just a servant. Initially, she still had the heart to poison Madam. Shui Qin was extremely confused.

“Shui Qin, you misunderstood, I am not as kind as you think, I have my own reasons for investigating the culprit, as for capturing him, it was only along the way.” Yun Qianliang closed the scroll and placed it in a corner before heading out, “Bring the tonifying soup to my room.”

Shui Qin placed the tonifying soup back into the tray and carried it along as she followed Yun Qianliang’s footsteps.

Chun Hua and Qiu Yue were cleaning up in the outer room, and when they saw Yun Qianliang return to his room, they felt slightly more at ease.

“Put down the tonifying soup. I’ll drink again later.” Yun Qianliang walked straight towards the dressing table.

“Madam, please drink while it is still hot. This servant will come to clean up later.” Shui Qin put down the tonifying soup and exited the dorm room, closing the door as she did so.

Yun Qianliang went closer to the copper mirror, and looked at the person in the mirror. In the blurry copper mirror, she could see a bright and charming face, but his expression was haggard, the green black in his eyes was not thick, but revealed a deep sense of exhaustion.

Hiding this poison in his body would always be a disaster. He must think of a way to obtain the antidote from the Qin family.

Chun Hua knocked twice on the door, but she did not hear any reply from inside.

Seeing Yun Qianliang sitting worriedly in front of the copper mirror, Chun Hua’s worry grew even stronger.

She had been worried that her master would notice that her complexion was getting worse. She had purposely put on makeup when she was dressing up, trying to hide it, but she didn’t like to put on makeup when she wasn’t going out, so she didn’t put on any makeup this morning.

“Ma’am, is there something wrong with you?” Chun Hua took light steps forward.

“If you’re not feeling well, tell this servant that you shouldn’t hide this from us.” Chun Hua pretended to believe and got up to help Yun Qianliang walk to the side. Chun Hua blew on the tonifying soup to cool it down and brought it in front of Yun Qianliang, “I heard from Shui Qin that this is supposed to replenish your vitality, so please drink and rest while it’s hot.”

Yun Qianliang looked at the brown colored soup in the white porcelain bowl with a displeased expression.

However, with only half a bowl, Yun Qianliang was unable to drink anymore, and put down the bowl.

“Take it away.” Yun Qianliang pushed the bowl further away, and looking at the direction of the Qing Hu Tong through the window, he asked: “Has Master Xi returned home?”

“He hasn’t returned yet.” Chun Hua carried away the bowl of soup and replied worriedly.

“When the Lord Prime Minister returns to his residence, I’ll ask him to come to the Cloud Water Pavilion.” Yun Qianliang explained.

“This servant understands.” Chun Hua complied with her words, took the bowl and prepared to leave, allowing Yun Qianliang to rest. However, after walking for a bit, she was still unable to suppress the strong feeling in her heart, and turned back.

Chun Hua put down the bowl of soup and kneeled down beside Yun Qianliang.

“What are you doing?” Yun Qianliang wanted to help him up, but her hands were grabbed instead.

Miss, Chun Hua knows that she is a servant, she should not say anything. Chun Hua held tightly onto her tender white hands, and called out the name she hadn’t called him for a long time, looking at this master with eyes full of love and love, that kind of gaze and emotion already far surpassed master and servant, “But seeing young miss like this, this servant really cannot help it.”

Chun Hua shook her head, with tears in her eyes, “Miss, let’s leave this place.”

Yun Qianliang was startled, he wanted to support Chun Hua to stop, she maintained his supporting stance, and looked at Chun Hua solemnly.

Yun Qianliang asked: Why are you leaving?

“Your servant saw it.” Chun Hua asked in confusion, causing doubts to arise in her heart.

“What did you see?”

“On the day of our return, Miss sent me to urge the Prime Minister. I saw him and the singer from the Residence having an intimate meeting in the Nine Rhythm Corridor.” Chun Hua revealed the truth that day, “This servant originally thought that as long as Gu Xiang sees Miss’s good fortune, she will definitely like Miss, and from then on, they will be in love and love each other, and their heads will be white. But Gu Xiang, as a mere singer, ignored you and made things difficult for you, this servant really cannot bear to see Miss being humiliated like this in Gu Xiangfu, rather than endure it and endure it, I might as well leave this cage of a house and live a peaceful life without any disputes. This servant and Qiu Yue have already thought about it, as long as Miss is willing to leave, we will definitely follow you. ”

Chun Hua’s bold words moved Yun Qianliang quite a bit.

Yun Qianliang sighed as he curled his lips, her brows growing more and more indifferent.

“To me, other than life and death, everything else in this world is idle business.” Yun Qianliang opened her mouth and spoke in a cool and indifferent tone, clearly speaking a few words in an unrestrained manner, but she felt as if she had seen through the vicissitudes of life and hid within them.

“But …” Chun Hua wanted to retort.

Yun Qianliang caressed her hair and laughed: “Chun Hua, I do not live by relying on those illusory feelings, no matter if it’s love or kinship, if others give it to me, I will keep it well, if not, I will not force it, nor do I have any hopes, you do not have to feel sorry for me, you just have to understand that every decision I make is for my own good.”

In her previous life, she had dedicated everything she had to the country, to the bright red faith. She did not have feelings for the faith, and in the face of the bigger picture, she had always restrained herself.

“Then Miss shouldn’t let yourself be wronged.” Chun Hua wiped her tears, and repeatedly mentioned.

“You don’t have to worry about that, I’m not a person who is bullied and refused to retaliate.” Yun Qianliang’s personality was even more vicious than wolves, if there really was someone who dared to touch her principles, then she would be the fiercest.

Chun Hua nodded as she carried the bowl of tonifying soup away with bloodshot eyes.

Yun Qianliang stared at the door that was closed, and could not help but sigh, she truly lived a useless life.

“You do have two loyal servants. No wonder you were willing to use your freedom to exchange for the lives of those two.” Gu Yicheng flipped open the window and entered. He casually picked up a box of rouge on the dressing table, opened it to smell it, and then placed it back with interest.

“Yeah.” Yun Qianliang’s face was filled with pride, and couldn’t help but exclaim: “Those who truly treat me as their own in this world, either have already been exiled in cold lands or have passed away in the Yellow Springs, all these years I have exchanged many servants by my side, only my mother from back then gave me these two girls who never left me. They are slightly older, but treated me like a daughter, I, as a person who can’t protect myself, can’t give them anything, at least for one day, and I will definitely keep them safe and sound.”

“It’s their fortune to have a master like you.” Gu Yicheng walked over and stared at that face, and frowned, “If your strength doesn’t work, you can tell me, and I can help you.”

Yun Qianliang shook her head, and said respectfully: “It’s probably caused by the poison.”

Gu Yicheng sat down and pulled Yun Qianliang’s wrist, pushing her sleeves up high and forcefully feeling her pulse.

“Other than being a bit superficial, I can’t see anything out of the ordinary.” Gu Yicheng pulled up his sleeves, only to realize that her hands were cold, as if he had just taken them out from ice water. The cold felt a little strange, “Do you feel cold?”

“I don’t think so.” Yun Qianliang withdrew his hand and placed it in front of his body, “I just don’t understand, how exactly did the poison in my body trigger? Based on what I have said before, why would the poison in my body act up at this time when it wasn’t before my marriage? ”

Right now, it was a busy autumn, so he didn’t have time to worry about finding an antidote. His outburst at this moment was too much of a burden.

“Indeed, this is not the time. There are many banquets at the end of the year, so there is no need for ordinary banquets. However, not long after we were married, this is the first time we are attending as the Left Premier’s madame.” Gu Yicheng told her in detail that he was worried that her body would not be able to take it, “I will get the antidote as soon as possible, rest assured.”

Yun Qianliang thought for a while, she had some ideas in her heart, “You don’t have to disrupt the plan, I can think of a way to cure the poison myself, but I am not at the end of my rope, you don’t have to be in a mess because of me.”

He had been trying to find an antidote for her, but to no avail. Presumably, the matter was a little difficult, and using a secret to exchange for the antidote, she had yet to obtain a secret. Naturally, she could not force him to come in search of an antidote.

Besides, if they tried to force it, it would be a huge problem. They had better not act rashly.
