The solitary lamp is like a bean, illuminating three faces.
Qu Linglong complained again: "Aunt Hu, Aunt Ma, can you two tell me what I should do?
That Xue Hengzhao must hate me so much. If you two are still trying to dodge, I'm afraid she will take revenge from her sooner or later. "
"What? Are you scared?" Nanny Hu's old eyes seemed to be brighter than the lamp on the table.
"Look what you said, if she, Xue Heng, takes photos of me, I certainly won't be afraid. But now someone is supporting her." Qu Linglong said, "I'm not afraid."
"Godmother, I told you during the day, it was the prince who sent her back.
I turned around and asked someone to take a look. The lock in the cold room had been cut off. I guess it was also done by the prince. "Aunt Ma said, "It does seem a little tricky now. "
"That's true." Aunt Hu nodded, "It stands to reason that she should be tortured for a while. But she was originally lent to us, and now someone is making the decision for her, we can't come here clearly. .”
Qu Linglong heard that there was something in what Grandma Hu said, and hurriedly said, "Mammy, if you can't tell me to come in the open, how can I plot against her?"
"You're not that stupid yet." Aunt Hu smiled, "I'd better leave this matter to you. Once it's done, it will be beneficial to you."
When Qu Linglong heard this, she hesitated and said, "It's a blessing for me to be able to do things for my grandma and aunt. But the two of us have already fallen out, and now she is wary of me everywhere.
I was afraid that if I made the slightest move, she would become alert. It’s not easy! "
In addition to this reason, Qu Linglong was also afraid that Yu Guming would settle the score with her.
When the time comes, Aunt Hu and Aunt Ma will definitely push themselves out, and they will never be able to protect her anymore.
"You can think of it, can't you think of it?" Aunt Ma interrupted her with some displeasure, "Don't think that you can get away with it if you stop now."
When she said this, Qu Linglong was immediately too frightened to speak.
Aunt Hu said, "Don't worry, I've already figured out the plan. Come here and I'll tell you."
Qu Linglong quickly moved forward.
Aunt Hu said in a low voice: "When you go back, you should act like you are regretful and scared, and make some small gestures to Xue, so that everyone will think that you intend to bridge the relationship between them.
After that, I will arrange separate accommodation for Xue Hengzhao and Chi Su as soon as possible. On the surface, I will give them preferential treatment, but in fact, it will relax their vigilance and give you an opportunity. "
Then he took out a small white porcelain bottle from under the table, wrapped a cork in red cloth and plugged the mouth of the bottle.
"The stuff in this porcelain bottle is called wood essence. It smells and tastes similar to spirits. But as long as you drink a small glass, you will be completely drunk and no gods can save you.
Here is a revolving pot. You put wine in one half, put the wood essence in the other half, and add some water.
Wait until New Year's Eve, so you don't have to rush to work at night. So you bring some food and wine to them, saying it's to apologize or to stay up late on New Year's Eve, and coax them to drink it. "
Because of Yu Guming's appearance, Hu and others realized that they needed to get rid of Xue Hengzhao as soon as possible, and at the same time, Chi Su could not survive.
"Then... then they two will be drunk by then, so they will naturally know that I made them drink." Qu Linglong said hesitantly, "The prince will definitely be suspicious of me."
"Listen to what I have to say. I will arrange for you to guard the warehouse on that day. Everyone knows that you will guard the warehouse, so how can they be suspicious of you!
I will arrange the two of them to live in a more remote place so that no one will find them. "Mama Hu said.
"Don't worry, Crown Prince Yu will not be on duty in the palace from New Year's Eve to the third day of the Lunar New Year. If the two of them die and they are dragged out in a roll of tattered mats, who will hold them accountable?" Aunt Ma also reassured her, "Throw them outside in the wasteland. It has been chewed by dogs, can you identify who it is?"
"It's too late even if you want to retreat now," Nanny Hu sneered, "If that girl really gets involved with the prince, you will suffer the consequences. If you don't believe me, just watch!"
"If that's the case, can you arrange for me and Liu Xianghuan to guard the warehouse together?" Qu Linglong thought about the matter in her mind and came up with a way to escape for herself, "Xue Hengzhao and Chi Su usually work with her It’s not bad, but if I went alone, I’m afraid they wouldn’t let me in at all.”
"You mean to let Liu Xianghuan be your scapegoat? The three of them will be drunk to death by then. You can wipe away the traces..." Aunt Ma understood.
Qu Linglong blushed: "I wonder what you two think?"
Both Aunt Hu and Aunt Ma knew that this meant another innocent life would be lost.
But since they have to do things for Manager Zhou, it doesn't matter if one more palace maid dies.
"What you said makes some sense. If that's the case, let's do as you say! I'll get you another wine pot. Don't forget to take the turning pot with you when the time comes. Don't leave any traces. This bottle of wood The fine gold is precious, so be sure to put it away. Aunt Hu raised her hand, indicating that Qu Linglong could leave.
Aunt Ma found a bundle and asked Qu Linglong to wrap the heart-turning pot.
Qu Linglong hid the porcelain bottle containing wood essence close to her body because she was afraid of being bumped.
Xue Hengzhao and the others crowded into a room, which was almost the same as when they first entered the palace.
Qu Linglong and the others lived in a slightly better place. There were four people in a small room, and even though they were only separated by thin boards, it was much better.
Qu Linglong would never come here normally, but she came today.
As soon as he entered the door, he smiled at everyone, and he was much kinder than usual.
Xue Hengzhao sat there without even raising his eyelids.
Qu Linglong came over to chat with someone and said, "Miss Xue, I just came from the kitchen. I specially got some freshly baked shortcakes for you."
He said and handed over the shortbread wrapped in a handkerchief.
But Chi Su knocked it away: "Take this thing farther away, who knows if there is poison in it?!"
Qu Linglong was not annoyed, she still said with a complacent smile: "Look at what you said, how could I have the courage? Besides, how could anyone poison someone in public?"
It was not surprising for everyone to see her like this, after all, many of them were also deliberately trying to please Xue Hengzhao.
Because Yu Guming's background is so great, if he really falls in love with Xue Hengzhao, he might be able to bring the Xue family back to Beijing!
Even if this is a delusion, you can still get a lot of benefits in the palace.
If Qu Linglong continues to be as tit-for-tat as before, I'm afraid there will be no good results.
"You gave me this cake, are you trying to make amends with me?" Xue Hengzhao looked at her and asked.
"That would be great if you said it. It was my fault in the past, and you, the master, don't remember the faults of others." Qu Linglong said hurriedly, "I won't dare to do that again in the future."
"You can be considered flexible and flexible, but I don't know whether you are sincere or not?" Xue Hengzhao smiled.
"Of course I'm sincere, I swear to God." Qu Linglong said seriously.
"Then don't leave tonight. Can you stay and take care of me?" Xue Hengzhao said, "You also know that I was frozen all day yesterday and I am still feeling a little uncomfortable now."
