Thinking of this, Lu Qingtang continued to add: "But I think he may have other purposes. Since he wants to use you, he must be on guard against you. In other words, he did not tell you the truth completely and let you What you do is just one part of it.”
Su Mu understood. She paused and asked, "What should we do next?"
"The next thing will be terrible, but when we get to this point, we have to go on." Lu Qingtang scratched his head, "Have you ever heard of Zhou Yu hitting Huang Gai?"
Su Mu raised his head and looked at Lu Qingtang blankly, "Huh?"
Naturally, this kind of thing cannot be done step by step.
The reason why Mo Zeqing didn't agree immediately was because he was afraid that he would become suspicious, and now that it was a critical moment, he must fully believe that Su Mu was sincere.
The only thing that could make Mo Zeqing fall for the trick was the bitter trick.
Although Lu Qingtang is also in a dilemma, now they are both riding a tiger.
"Then come on."
Su Mu took a breath, put down the empty rice bowl in his hand, and looked at Lu Qingtang.
Lu Qingtang nodded slightly, and while she lowered her head to eat, she started to quarrel with Su Mu.
In order to start a quarrel, Lu Qingtang said that today's food was too salty and blamed Su Mu for not pouring her water.
Su Mu poured water for her. She said the tea was too hot and burned her tongue.
Then, Lu Qingtang ordered someone to beat Su Mu.
Although Su Mu knew that this reason was a bit hypocritical, it was the only reason he could have.
In order to make the spy believe this fact, Su Mu was beaten with a stick twenty times, then locked up in a small room, and was not allowed to eat.
After beating the sumu, Lu Qingtang felt very uncomfortable. He lay down in front of the table and vomited like crazy, trying to hide his sadness with his choked tears.
In the evening, Lu Qingtang quietly gave her medicine and brought her food.
The next day, it was still the same.
By the third day, Sumu could walk.
In order to create the image of a vicious princess, Lu Qingtang had to send Su Mu to do odd jobs.
Su Mu knelt on the ground and wiped the table. Every move would cause wounds. Soon she was sweating in pain. The sweat soaked the wounds, making her tremble with pain.
"Stop wiping, let me help you." Jiang Mei came over and reached out to take the rag in her hand, "Go and have a rest, otherwise the wound will fester if it is not well healed."
Su Mu shook his head, "How dare I rest, otherwise it will cost me twenty sticks. But you are right, I will only rest for a while, so that the pain in my body can be relieved."
Her face turned pale and she huddled in the corner, breathing heavily.
"You said that if you just obey the princess, you won't suffer like this. But having said that, the princess has always treated you well. Why did she treat you so harshly this time? Is it really because she is pregnant and has a bad temper? ? I can't see it, right?" Jiang Mei sighed slightly, and she said while wiping the table.
Su Mu understood what she meant, and she could understand the obvious provocation in her voice.
So she followed Jiang Mei's intention and responded: "Who knows? This is probably sharing the same hardships, but not sharing the blessings. In the past, whether in the General's Mansion or Prince Chen's Mansion, didn't she have to rely on me to take care of her? When can she There has been such a scene!”
"Actually, Sister Su Mu is very good-looking, much better than the princess. I, a woman, feel excited just looking at her. Why don't you find a way out for yourself?" Jiang Mei stopped wiping the table and looked at Sappan.
Now Su Mu has determined that Jiang Mei is the eyeliner.
It wasn't just because of a few words she said.
It has been more than two months since Su Mu came to the palace. During this period, except for a few words with Fei Yu, Cai Ibis was always eccentric, which was not surprising. On the contrary, Jiang Mei always came to care about him.
Being courteous for nothing is either cheating or stealing. Su Mu kept Lu Qingtang's words in mind.
After having this idea in his mind, Su Mu continued to talk along with Jiang Mei's words, "Sister Jiang Mei is making fun of me. What good way out can I have? It's just that I will be paired with a handyman or a servant in the future. What else can I do?" It’s not as good as the way out for you palace maids.”
"Sister, what you said is wrong. We will be banished from the palace when we reach the age. If we are lucky, we can find a good family to marry. If we are unlucky, we will be considered too old if we become concubines." Jiang Mei sighed and continued. , "You are different. You can use the power of the princess to become the prince's mistress. This is what she should do as a princess."
The corner of Su Mu's mouth twitched, "Do you think the princess would do this?"
Jiang Mei smiled and said, "Our princess will definitely not be able to do it, so you have to find a way out for yourself. For example, if a young master likes you, or a prince, even if he is a martial artist, it is better than someone like you who has no future. If you encounter it, you must seize the opportunity."
Jiang Mei said, picked up the dirty water in the basin, stood up and poured it outside. When she came back again, she said nothing more.
Su Mu was thinking about her words and how to deal with Lu Qingtang.
In the evening, when Lu Qingtang went to change Su Mu's dressing, Su Mu told her what Jiang Mei had told her during the day.
Both of them identified Jiang Mei as the biggest suspect.
Knowing who the spy is and knowing Mo Zeqing's intentions, the next step is to start planning.
A few days later, Su Mu's injury was almost healed, and it was time to let her go to meet Mo Zeqing.
Taking advantage of this morning, when Lu Qingtang was called to the Wende Hall for training, Su Mu "stole" the palace exit token.
When Lu Qingtang left Longqing Palace, except for those who served the Queen Mother, almost all the palace servants in the side palace were taken with him.
There were only a few servants left in the small kitchen and those cleaning outside.
In order to confirm his suspicion about Jiang Mei, Su Mu deliberately exposed his flaws in front of Jiang Mei and asked her not to tell anyone.
Under Jiang Mei's repeated protection, Su Mu left Longqing Palace and then the palace, and as expected, she "encountered" Mo Zeqing again.
Now it was certain that Jiang Mei was colluding with the outside world.
After meeting Mo Zeqing, Su Mu burst into tears and expressed dissatisfaction with Lu Qingtang. Mo Zeqing was naturally very distressed.
"Su Mu, before my mother-in-law is released from confinement, I will go to the palace to find my fourth sister-in-law to get you. Seeing you injured, my heart hurts like a needle." Mo Zeqing looked in pain as he spoke. He also slammed his fist on the table.
Su Mu immediately shook his head, "No, the princess will definitely not agree to it now. She seems to be possessed now, how can she let me go?"
As he spoke, Su Mu squeezed out two tears.
These two tears were caused by what I felt after being beaten a few days ago. It really hurt.
Upon seeing this, Mo Zeqing immediately stood up and walked around the table, stepped forward and put his arms around Su Mu's shoulders, "After all this, you are still willing to serve the fourth sister-in-law? Are you stupid?"
"The princess is too ruthless, and I really don't want to be with her, but what can I do? My body and deeds are all with her, and I will always be her maid." Su Mu sniffed and pushed Mo Ze away. clear.
