"My slave knows." Liu Qingxi nodded quickly with a pale face, "My slave cooked the medicine and watched the King of War drink it with my own eyes."
But Chu Yunfei slowly shook his head: "Something happened to you on the way here. It's impossible for the imperial concubine not to know about it, so you need to tell the truth to avoid arousing her suspicion."
Liu Qingxi bit her lip and said, "Please make it clear, Princess."
"You came late in the morning. The prince's decoction has been taken in advance. You prepared the medicine for the evening yourself and watched the prince drink it with your own eyes." Chu Yun Fei said calmly, "And all the ingredients that should be added have been added. There is no Arouse suspicion.”
Liu Qingxi was silent for a moment and responded feebly: "Yes, I will definitely respond according to the princess's instructions."
"In addition, you can also tell the concubine that Rong Cang is extremely tired of my wife, because after Chu Yunjiao entered the palace, I made him kneel in the outer courtyard, and Rong Cang wanted to divorce his wife out of anger." There was an upward curve at the corner of Chu Yunfei's mouth, but the smile did not reach her eyes. "In short, you can say that the relationship between our husband and wife is as bad as possible. The worse, the better."
Liu Qingxi was able to gain the concubine's trust not only because of her good medical skills, but also because she was good at observing people's emotions and had a sharp mind.
After hearing Chu Yunfei's words, she instantly understood her purpose. Chu Yunfei wanted to confuse the imperial concubine and then achieve her goal.
But, what is her real purpose?
Can she, a powerless princess, compete with a noble concubine?
Liu Qingxi thought like this in her heart, and it was inevitable that she would feel a bit of contempt, but she did not dare to show any disdain on her face, so she just responded obediently: "Yes."
"I can find out what happened in Tongzhou and protect them, so I still hope that Miss Liu can be smarter and not do anything to seek death." Chu Yunfei warned for the last time, "If you accidentally offend the imperial concubine, she will not do anything. Yue, you are the only one who will suffer, but when it is exposed that Doctor Liu stopped his wife and remarried, the whole Liu family will suffer. Miss Liu herself knows which is more serious."
Liu Qingxi now hated and feared her. Her heart sank when she heard this, and she did not dare to confront her: "I understand, Princess, please rest assured."
"Go out." Chu Yunfei's voice was light, "Let Aunt Xiong take you for a walk in the outer courtyard and do whatever you want. After Chu Yunjiao is carried into the palace, you can talk to her as before."
"yes."
"Don't let your father know about today's events. If he wants to kill people and silence them, then you will be adding sin to sin, and it will be difficult for gods to save you."
Liu Qingxi's hands and feet were cold and she didn't dare to say a word, so she bowed respectfully and left.
Chu Yunfei sat down on the chair and remained silent for a long time.
After the screen partition, Rong Cang stood there quietly, looking deeply at Chu Yunfei through the hollow screen, with inexplicable emotional fluctuations in his eyes.
Chang Qing stood silently, looking at Chu Yunfei with obvious disbelief in her eyes.
The princess is indeed not feeling well lately. She seems to have suddenly become more powerful. Not only does she know the poison, but she also knows the personal affairs of Imperial Doctor Liu so clearly.
It's really puzzling.
"Your Majesty, you can come out now." Chu Yunfei said, "If you have anything to say or ask, just ask."
Rong Cang was silent for a moment, then walked out: "How do you know that Doctor Liu stopped his wife and remarried?"
Chu Yunfei smiled lightly: "Maybe it's because I'm not sure about my identity."
Rong Cang was silent: "Knowing that Liu Qingxi added ingredients to the soup, is he also predicting the future?"
"This is a matter of keen sense of smell and careful observation." Chu Yunfei said in a calm tone, "There is no need to specially send a medical woman to decoct medicine, so I feel it is abnormal."
Rong Cang looked at her without saying a word.
Chu Yunfei turned her head to look at him and raised her eyebrows slightly: "Do you have anything else to ask, Your Majesty?"
"What are you going to do with the five poisons you asked Chang Qing to find?"
"Give it to the prince as a late-night snack. It is nourishing and tonic." Chu Yunfei raised his lips and smiled, "I heard that it can help men have children."
Rong Cang's mouth tightened and his face turned faintly blue.
Changqing couldn't help but sigh. The prince's ability to be silenced by the princess at every turn was really not suitable for divorcing his wife.
"Princess." Baochan stood outside the door and knocked lightly on the door. "The prince's medicine is ready. Can you please come in now?"
"come in."
After the conversation in the room ended, Rong Cang took the medicine from Bao Chan and said in a calm and deep tone: "How can I be sure that you have not added any other ingredients to this medicine?"
Baochan's face turned pale and she knelt down with a bang: "I don't dare, I don't dare!"
The room became eerily quiet.
"Your Majesty, you don't have to drink it." Chu Yunfei stood up and said in a calm and calm voice, "At least I won't send someone to watch you drink the medicine."
Rong Cang: "..."
Chu Yunfei raised her feet and walked out: "Today is the day for the prince to take concubines. I will make arrangements. After the prince drinks the medicine, he will go back to Shuanghuayuan and have a good rest. Don't take your own body seriously."
Rong Cang stood outside the window, looking at Chu Yunfei's retreating figure. Thinking of her increasingly tough and cold temper in the past two days, an undetectable arc passed through the corner of his mouth.
"The princess is so powerful." Chang Qing murmured to herself, her tone full of admiration, "Even the medical lady beside the princess is no match for her, it's really impressive."
Rong Cang's smile faded, and the coldness in his eyes flashed away.
His mother-in-law has always disliked him.
Although he has not found the reason yet, it does not prevent the relationship between mother and son from getting weaker and weaker. He went away to the border for ten years in order to stay away from the disputes in the court and away from the control of his mother and concubine.
Unexpectedly, she has not given up yet, and is still trying to control him through various means and make him serve King Chen.
Rong Cang looked down at his hands.
These hands can not only hold the power of an army of 400,000 soldiers, but also protect the borders and make the enemy frightened, so they should also be able to control the country and the country.
His little princess was right about something.
A woman who was abandoned by the royal family will live in rumors and rumors for the rest of her life and will be ridiculed and humiliated. No man dares to marry a woman who was abandoned by the royal family without disdain that she has children from previous marriages.
So, just keeping her alive is not the best option.
Living in pain may not be as easy as dying.
So not only did he want her to live, he also wanted her to live freely and do whatever she wanted.
"Chang Qing." Rong Cang turned his head, as if to confirm something, "If I don't divorce my wife, do you think she will tell me the uses of the five poisons?"
Chang Qing groaned and suddenly became excited: "The prince has changed his mind? He really doesn't want to divorce his wife? The princess will be very happy when she hears this news..."
Rong Cang looked at him expressionlessly.
Changqing coughed slightly and realized that he was too rude. He quickly suppressed his excited expression and said honestly: "The princess may not have calmed down yet, so I am not sure whether she is happy or unhappy when she heard the news."
Not calm?
Rong Cang was silent, thinking about her remarks about asking men to have children for no reason, and it certainly didn't look like she had lost her temper.
He only found out today that his little princess had a very strong temper, completely different from the gentle and considerate person she used to be.
But this change is quite good. She is much brighter and more lively than before, and she is no longer so conventional, gentle and submissive.
When she first got married, she might have been too reserved because of her different status. She always felt that she was too respectful and gentle, but Rong Cang didn't know how to persuade her at that time. He was worried that his harsh tone would scare her or make her angry. A misunderstanding arises.
Just let her go.
But later...
Rong Cang narrowed his eyes to hide the cold look in his eyes.
If he could only protect her by breaking up with the palace, maybe he should try to convince himself to make some changes.
