You are the One and Only - C50
In just a few days, an earth-shattering change happened to the Qinxin.
First, Senior Servant Wei and Senior Servant Liu brought five to six young wives and tidied up the kitchen, preparing all the necessities. Then, they specially made a small room in the kitchen to give Qin Nuo, Jade Peaches and Ming Liu the medicinal herbs needed in order to recuperate. Every night, she would send a little girl over to tell her everything the Empress had wanted to eat the next day. It was a good thing that early the next morning, she would send someone to gather them.
“Empress, His Highness said that you like Qinxin, so he sent Servants over!” Qing Luo hadn’t seen Qin Nuo for a few days, and seeing him at first glance made her feel extremely happy.
With regards to the matter of her, Bi Tao and Ming Liu being poisoned, Ling Yexuan did not hide it from anyone and continued to investigate.
“I wonder which one of them did it! If I find out, Prince will not let me off so easily! ” Ming Liu said bitterly. Fortunately, the Empress discovered it in time, or else the consequences would have been unimaginable. She’d heard the imperial physician say that if she took that poison for a long time, she’d slowly turn stupid!
“Alright!” Are you tired? ” Peaches smiled.
Another day passed, and just as Qin Nuo woke up, she saw Ming Liu approaching her in a mysterious manner.
“We’ve already found the person who poisoned the Empress. Take a guess, Empress?”
“concubine! Miss Xia! Mei Yue! Zhuo Tao! ” Qin Nuo replied lazily. In the four’s residence, they had all found the poison. The person who personally instigated the poison was one of the four people: Qingfeng, Qing Shuang, Qingxue, Qing Yu! As for the mastermind behind the scenes, he is probably someone I don’t know well and I have never had any close relationship with before. Not Shen Yixin, Mu Rulan, An Kexin, Madam Ho, or the Li Clan. ”
“Empress, you’re too godly!” Ming Liu exclaimed. They never left the courtyard and the Servants didn’t send any messages. How did you know? ”
Bi Tao, Ying He, and Qing Luo all revealed looks of astonishment and admiration.
Qin Nuo laughed.
Ever since she found out that she had been poisoned for over a month, she ruled out the possibility of Jing Shuyi poisoning her. But, Jing Shuyi was openly and secretly fighting with her, which was obvious to everyone. Furthermore, Jing Shuyi was supposed to be Chief Consort Ling Yexuan, but in the end, she was only a side room, it was normal for him to want to get rid of her.
As for Xia Yiqiu, during that ceremony, she had once suppressed her, saying that it was very normal for her to harbor resentment in her heart.
As for Mei Yue, with her enchanting, alluring, and jealous face, it was no wonder that someone wanted to frame her! No one believed her when she said that she would not harm anyone.
Zhuo Tao, naturally, was someone who had once made things difficult for her while she was still carrying the title of Qin Muxue. Since that person had poisoned her before, it was likely that the one who wanted to frame her the most was Zhuo Tao.
It was a pity that the original wangfei had suddenly died of illness, and that person’s plot had been unsuccessful. Now that the new wangfei had entered the estate, that person was once again staring at her. Presumably, the target of that person was clearly Ling Yexuan’s Chief Consort. It didn’t matter if this Chief Consort was her, Jing Shuyi, or anyone else, they wouldn’t be able to escape this fate.
There was no need for Qin Nuo to ask any further, Ming Liu just couldn’t hold it in and say it. So her concubine’s surname was once, and the person she was directing was actually Qing Yu.
“No wonder Qing Yu and Zhuo Tao are so close, they actually have a goal!” Ming Liu could not help but sigh. Zhuo Tao has been acting so arrogantly for such a long time, I’m afraid never would have thought that she would be almost killed by the person who is best friends with her! ”
When Qin Nuo heard it, she did not expect it. She never thought that Qing Yu had multiple identities! A little girl, but she had a lot of guts! It was just that they didn’t know how many people like the Ceng family and Qing Yu remained in the manor. Naturally, this was all Ling Yexuan’s fault. As long as she stayed in the Qinxin, she would live a peaceful life!
“Empress!” One day, Qin Nuo had just taken her medicine and was about to rest when she saw Ying He come in to report. The eighth prince and the fifteenth palace are coming down! ”
After what Old Fifteen said to her that day, these two people had never appeared again. It was unknown if they did not come out from the palace, or were investigating the matter of poison with Ling Yexuan.
Seeing Old Fifteen, Qin Nuo couldn’t help but stare. She was only in her early twenties, but a little kid had already seen through her thoughts. This kind of feeling was something that anyone who hadn’t passed by would never understand!
Of course, the most likely reason was that Ol ‘Eight would always grumble and grumble in front of Ol’ Fifteen. Ol ‘Five was also smart, so he could easily reason with the opposite.
“Please help me thank the Esteemed Empress Dowager and Empress.” Qin Nuo smiled slightly.
She was not the least bit surprised that news of this matter would spread to the palace. With Ling Yexuan being so shrewd, he would definitely investigate who sent this person over! It was also a good opportunity to suppress his opponent. If they didn’t make it known to everyone, how could they achieve their goal?!
“Still called Empress!” If third brother heard this, he would be sad again! ” “Ol ‘Eight pretended to be dissatisfied and looked at Qin Nuo. third Sister-in-Law, Old Fifteen told me everything! Look, you and Third Brother don’t understand something that even Old Fifteen can understand. You two have truly agreed to that saying, being a mystery to the local people. You shouldn’t be so weird with Third Bro. Third Brother has lost a lot of weight in the past few days. I think he understands now, or else he wouldn’t have let you off so easily. ”
Qin Nuo glared at Old Fifteen again. I really don’t know how much benefits your third brother gave you to be an assistant.
“third Sister-in-Law, don’t glare at me, just say it!” “Old Fifteen began to rub Qin Nuo’s arm again. If you don’t say anything, I will get angry! ”
“Is that so?” Qin Nuo purposely teased Old Fifteen. What happens when you get angry? Will you never come to see me again? ”
“No way, no way! If I don’t come and see you, it’s not because I’m angry with you. It’s because I’m angry with myself. ” “Old Fifteen’s head was shaking like a rattle drum.” I’m angry … I am angry… I… “I …”
“Enough!” Stop messing around with third Sister-in-Law! ”
“Good!” “Don’t mess around!” “Ol ‘Fifteen immediately said, looking at Qin Nuo with a face full of anticipation. third Sister-in-Law, you still haven’t answered me. When are you going to let third brother … ”
“His feet are growing on his own body, don’t tell me that I’ve stopped him?” Qin Nuo said quickly, with a light tone.
“Great!” “Yes!” Old Fifteen jumped in joy. Third Brother’s suffering these few days has not been in vain, and it will soon come to an end! ”
Ol ‘Eight did not speak, but grinned at Qin Nuo.
Qin Nuo’s face reddened. She glared at the two brothers, but her heart was still a little unwilling.
“So many women, who would believe him!”
“Not much, not much!” Ol ‘Fifteen quickly answered and looked around.
Earlier, there was a girl who told him that the medicine for Bi Tao and Ming Liu had already been fried well, thus the two girls went to take the medicine. Only Ying He and Qing Luo stood at the side after serving tea.
“All of you can leave. I’ll call you if anything happens.” Qin Nuo instructed. “Watching the two girls leave, I turned to Brother Fifteen.” Speak! ”
“I heard this from Mother today. Third Brother is taking advantage of this opportunity to dismiss all the concubines in the mansion. I have heard that other than the few concubine and the ones who have advanced, there are three more people who will stay. Isn’t that a little too few? ”
As Old Fifteen spoke, Qin Nuo couldn’t help but count with her fingers. There were only three lateral consort s and Imperial Concubine Shu. Including Xia Yi Qiu, An Kexin, Madam Ho and Madame Li, there were seven of them! Then there were three, a total of ten people, and Old Fifteen actually didn’t say much! Not much! The princes’ views on life were truly speechless!
Naturally, this was not much compared to the black mass that greeted him!
“Who are the other three?” Qin Nuo could not help but ask.
When Ol ‘Eight heard Qin Nuo not asking who it was, but who it was, he couldn’t help but take a careful look at her.
“It’s not allowed for future matters, but even so, there aren’t many people left in the prince’s mansion!” “The eighth brother’s words were sincere and earnest.” The ones left behind are naturally the people that third brother doted on in the past! ”
Qin Nuo looked at Old Eighth. This Old Eighth sometimes spoke very straightforwardly, and sometimes she especially liked to beat around the bush.
He meant two things. Firstly, he was telling her that she shouldn’t ask too much of Ling Yexuan, and leaving these people behind was already her bottom line! Secondly, he was trying to comfort her. Don’t think about his third brother like that. Although there were many concubines in the mansion, not everyone had slept with them before! By the way, he let her know that his third brother was not merciless when he sent people away.
As for the question, Eighth Brother did not mention it. Thinking about it, in Old Eighth’s heart, no matter what, she was still a woman. She didn’t need to know things that she shouldn’t know.
Qin Nuo smiled, and did not say a word.
“There is one more thing that I want to remind third Sister-in-Law.” “The eighth brother’s expression became serious.” Being a distance away from the Eleventh Uncle, he was not as simple as he looked. I’m afraid that third brother’s formidable opponent is not second brother, but Eleventh Uncle! ”
“It’s not like the Ceng Clan, who poisoned the poison, belonged to the Prince Mu!” Qin Nuo moved between her brows and asked.
“Not really!” “Ol ‘Fifteen was the first to speak.” It’s Seventh Brother’s people! ”
“Old Fifteen!” Ol ‘Eight shouted.
Qin Nuo smiled. The inferiority complex that she had developed from Old Fifteen had finally been healed. Even though Old Fifteen was smart, she was still a child after all. She was easier to fool than Old Eighth!
