You are the One and Only - C58
Qin Nuo had long thought that the most difficult people to deal with after entering the palace today would be the imperial concubine and the Crown Princess Jing!
Last time, although the Imperial Concubine acted as if she didn’t care, because there was no case of the King Jing’s poison, and because Seventh Brother ordered someone to poison her, her face was not too bad. Now, of Imperial Consort’s two sons, one was home to recuperate while the other was confined by the emperor. It would be strange if Imperial Concubine would feel at ease in her heart!
Seeing Qin Nuo slowly walking over, Consort Heng’s face revealed a gentle smile, and before Qin Nuo could say anything, she immediately stood up.
The Crown Princess Jing’s eyes flashed, pretending to not understand Qin Nuo’s words, but she still affectionately reached out his hand and pulled Qin Nuo’s hand.
“Come here and sit next to me. In the past few days, even though he had heard many rumors that his younger sister was able to become an imperial concubine, he had only heard of the fact that the Prince Rui valued Prime Minister Qin. But since sister has such a fate, it’s only because of my good fortune. Although people will think that I have some kind of secret background, a smart person like sister wouldn’t care about what’s going on and what’s going on! ”
Although this Crown Princess Jing and Jing Shuyi were sisters, she was not as calm as them. The meaning of those words were simply saying that the Prince Rui only cared about Prime Minister Qin and the Humble Class Bachelor behind him, and that she looked similar to the Miss Qin. He wanted to tell her that Ling Yexuan did not care about her at all! Little did she know that there were some things that had already been thought of when she had replaced Qin Muxue.
is really making things difficult for Crown Princess Jing! Unfortunately, she instigated it a little too late!
As for the Crown Princess Jing mocking her for her background, she did not take it to heart to begin with. In any case, even if the Crown Princess Jing didn’t say it out loud, there would still be a lot of people discussing it behind her back.
“I dare not say whether I am fortunate or not, but one day, I will make myself comfortable. Who can even imagine what will happen in the future!” Qin Nuo slowly sat down. Seeing that Crown Princess Jing was still holding her hand affectionately, she sweetly smiled. Originally, I was going to enter the palace with concubine today, but I didn’t expect my prince to say that concubine had worked hard these past few days. It would be a pity to let her come back in three days! will also be able to meet her. ”
When Crown Princess Jing heard this, the anger in her sister’s heart increased even more. When she held Qin Nuo’s hand, she unconsciously applied more pressure as well and her nails pressed down onto Qin Nuo’s hand.
The smile on Qin Nuo’s face became even wider.
Crown Princess Jing’s method of secretly obstructing him was truly not wise enough! Other than pinching people, he didn’t know if this woman had any other skills! Qin Nuo originally wanted to flip Crown Princess Jing’s arm back and grab hold of her arm, but stopped for a moment. She only frowned slightly, the hand that was held did not move, and with her other hand, she picked up the cup on the table and took a sip calmly.
Crown Princess Jing was startled, she did not expect that this woman was so calm! Just as she was in a daze, his hand twitched and she quickly flung Qin Nuo’s hand away.
“What did you stab me with?” The sudden pain made Crown Princess Jing’s face darken, he did not want to continue being friendly with Qin Nuo!
Qin Nuo swept a glance over everyone. Other than the Consort Heng, who was smiling at her and Crown Princess Jing, there were only three girls quietly standing by her side.
“What is the Second Sister-in-Law saying?” “Qin Nuo opened her eyes wide and raised his hand. The one who was injured, was my hand! ”
“You …” Crown Princess Jing looked at Qin Nuo’s hand and took a deep breath. She had used a great deal of strength, but she had never thought that her hand would actually be broken by her pinching. Furthermore, it even caused her to bleed.
“Empress!” Ying He immediately called out softly. “Your hand …”
“No worries, Crown Princess Jing just accidentally scraped it just now, there’s no need to make such a big fuss!” Qin Nuo said with a face still full of a harmless smile, as she looked at Crown Princess Jing. I was using poison needles to prick Second Sister-in-Law! ”
“What did you say?” Crown Princess Jing could not help but exclaim softly. His face changed as he smiled and spoke while pretending to be calm. Do you think I would believe that you have that kind of ability? ”
“Didn’t Second Sister-in-Law say it earlier? I’m not sure of my background! Otherwise, how could it be so easy for me to detect when Seventh Brother poisoned me? ” Qin Nuo’s voice was even lower, a little sinister, as she took Crown Princess Jing’s hand and looked at it seriously. This was a highly toxic poison, in less than two hours, the Second Sister-in-Law would die from the poison. Second Sister-in-Law, look, the needle hole is slowly turning black! The black spots would become bigger and bigger and the poison would become stronger and stronger. Aiya! This ring is so beautiful, and also this jade bracelet.
Crown Princess Jing looked at his hand in fear. Sure enough, there were traces of pain on his hand. Looking at Qin Nuo, the smile on her face seemed to have become sinister as well, full of ill intentions! Crown Princess Jing’s eyes opened wider and wider. She could not help but let out a “Ah!” sound.
As the entire room was filled with people talking and drinking tea, suddenly, the Crown Princess Jing screamed in shock and turned to look in their direction.
Consort Heng was also shocked. Seeing that Crown Princess Jing had jumped up, she quickly followed suit and reached out to help her up, but Crown Princess Jing shook her off and stumbled, scaring the little girl behind him away.
Qin Nuo also quickly stood up, looking at Crown Princess Jing with a helpless expression.
“Second Sister-in-Law, what’s wrong?”
“Quick!” Quick, catch the assassin! ” Crown Princess Jing hurriedly took a few steps forward, her face pale white, her voice trembling!
Consort Heng looked at Qin Nuo in confusion, meeting her confused gaze. The two of them took a step back at almost the same time, and the girl behind them was obviously frightened as well. The Crown Princess Jing was the closest to the two of them, and yet they said that there was an assassin. Wouldn’t their family’s Empress be in danger then?
“Empress, let’s leave this place first!” Ming Liu’s reaction was a little faster than the others. She quickly supported Qin Nuo and retreated a few steps to the side.
When the others heard the word “assassin”, they all stood up, flustered and wanted to leave. In the end, Nanny Liang was older, so they called for help.
“There’s an assassin! Protect the empress!”
“Where is the assassin?”
Everyone’s eyes turned to look at Crown Princess Jing who was still in the center of the room, whose face was pale and drenched in cold sweat.
After a moment of confusion, the empress and imperial concubine regained their composure.
“That’s right!” Crown Princess Jing, do you see clearly where the assassin is? ” The Imperial Concubine asked with her brows tightly knitted together.
“She, she …” “Crown Princess Jing wanted to point in Qin Nuo’s direction, but she realized that Qin Nuo was not in her original location. She had to look for him for a long time before she was able to find him. She … She was the assassin … “Just now, she poisoned chenqie …”
Everyone’s eyes landed on Qin Nuo’s face. Qin Nuo was caressing her heart, her face was pale white, she was talking to Consort Heng, seemingly not hearing what she had said.
Consort Heng was the same. On the other hand, the girl from Consort Heng, upon hearing Crown Princess Jing’s words, hurriedly pulled him.
“Empress, be careful!”
“What’s wrong?” The Consort Heng asked with a pale face.
“Crown Princess Jing said that Princess Rui is an assassin.” The little girl whispered, and looked at Qin Nuo quietly.
Qin Nuo seemed to realize that everyone was looking at her and started at everyone.
“Still not taking him down!” Didn’t you all hear what Empress said? ” the imperial concubine shouted.
The guards looked at each other. They had heard the words of the Crown Princess Jing, but the assassin that the Crown Princess Jing was talking about was also the Empress! And she was still the princess consort of the Prince Rui. Ordinary people did not dare to rashly offend her.
“Imperial Concubine, there’s no need to be so anxious!” “The empress was also surprised, but quickly regained her composure.” Crown Princess Jing, tell me, what is going on? Princess Rui, you come here too. ”
Hearing this, Qin Nuo looked around again. She still looked confused, but she slowly walked to the empress’s side.
“Imperial Mother, Imperial Concubine, save Chenqie!” “Crown Princess Jing was still immersed in the fear of being poisoned. Just now Princess Rui said that she used poison to prick chenqie and within two hours, she will die from the poison! ”
When Crown Princess Jing said this, a few of them could not help but use kernels to cover their mouths. Crown Princess Jing could be considered a calm person normally, but today she started spouting nonsense. It was obvious that she was shocked by the poison in Prince Jing! Otherwise, anyone who had a brain would think of who had poisoned him and why would she say so!
Imperial Concubine’s eyebrows furrowed. Just now, she still had some faith in Crown Princess Jing, and thought that she had discovered the poison in her. However, after hearing this, she felt that it was absurd. But very quickly, she looked at Qin Nuo suspiciously. Just as she was thinking about it, she heard the empress’s command.
“Send for the imperial physician, let Crown Princess Jing take a look.”
“No need!” “Your Imperial Consort spoke up to stop me.” Princess Rui must have been joking with Crown Princess Jing because he was so nervous about the matter of him being poisoned by Duke Jing a few days ago. However, this is also true for Princess Rui, there is no need for you to make such a joke.
The Imperial Consort was indeed the Imperial Consort! Qin Nuo secretly sighed in her heart, yet her expression was still thick confusion and puzzlement, as she lightly accepted the Imperial Concubine’s hand.
“Chenqie doesn’t understand Imperial Concubine’s words. This chenqie had just met Second Sister-in-Law today, so she only had a heart of respect and intimacy with him. Even if they were joking, they would certainly know their limits! What Below… Poison… It’s true that chenqie didn’t say anything about it. ”
When the Imperial Concubine spoke, Crown Princess Jing raised her hand to look again. Seeing that the black spot had disappeared, her heart was filled with mixed emotions. She knew that she was frightened and fell for Qin Nuo’s trap, and made a ruckus that everyone knew about! If she couldn’t explain this matter, she would lose a lot of face!
