The information Zhao Xueqing got from the maid was that a kind of sleeping drug would be put into the soup.

However, the effects will not occur immediately after taking it.

The efficacy of the medicine will only be apparent when a person wearing a special sachet appears in front of the person taking the Chinese medicine.

At that time, the person who practices Chinese medicine will regard the person in front of him as his or her own beloved.

In short, as long as Prince Jing took the soup, and she appeared in front of him alone with the sachet, it would be very easy for her to fulfill her wish.

Zhao Xueqing was excited and nervous, and walked into the house with her head lowered.

She had something on her mind and felt a little uneasy when she entered the room.

She first glanced quickly at Qin Mu, then glanced at the two bowls of yam soup on the table.

Then she lowered her head and served food to Fang Ling and Qin Mu together with other maids.

However, in comparison, Zhao Xueqing was obviously a little nervous.

Her hand holding the chopsticks was shaking.

Seeing this, Zhou Ruolan, who was standing next to her, tilted her head and looked at her with some confusion.

She was really surprised by Zhao Xueqing's performance today.

My Lord, the princess is usually very kind to her servants.

Not to mention that you haven't made any mistakes, even if you make some minor mistakes, you won't be punished too harshly.

However, although Zhou Ruolan had doubts in her heart, she did not dare to say much in front of the princess and the prince.

I thought I would ask Zhao Xueqing alone when I have free time later.

Zhao Xueqing was serving Fang Ling and Qin Mu their meal.

While looking forward to it, they took the initiative to suggest using yam soup.

That way, there would be no need for her to come forward and offer suggestions.

However, the meal was almost half finished, but the prince and princess did not seem to want to drink the soup.

A quarter of an hour later, Fang Ling put down her bowl and chopsticks.

He picked up the handkerchief and wiped his mouth, then looked at Qin Mu.

"My Lord, I am full."

Qin Mu also put down his bowl and chopsticks.

"Yeah, I'm full too."

The two looked at each other, then stood up and were about to leave the table.

When Zhao Xueqing saw this, she became a little anxious.

This is a rare opportunity.

If you lose it, it may be difficult to get it again in the future.

As she thought about this, she didn't care about anything else. She took a step forward and said quickly:

"My Lord, Princess, it's good for your health to drink some soup after dinner.

Soups are good for the stomach.”

After she said this, Qin Mu and Fang Ling both stopped.

Fang Ling looked at her and said:

"Oh, you are right.

Soups do have the effect of nourishing the stomach.

Especially yam soup.

But, I have already eaten my fill, and it must be hard work for you to serve me and the prince while we eat.

It's hard for you to still care about our health, so I'll give you this yam soup as a reward."

Zhao Xueqing subconsciously refused after hearing this.

"I am a humble servant, how can I eat the meal of the prince and princess?"

Fang Ling smiled and said coldly:

"This is a reward from my concubine, and you dare to refuse it?

Or maybe this soup is different from the previous ones?"

When Zhao Xueqing heard this, she was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat.

However, she bit the tip of her tongue and tried to stay calm.

Then, he explained,

"I am just terrified."

"Then drink this yam soup."

Qin Mu said calmly.

Zhao Xueqing was silent, thinking that there was actually nothing special in the yam soup.

According to the servant woman's intention, she only put a little bit of sleeping pills.

Moreover, the drug requires special incense to activate its effect.

So even if she drank it, it wouldn't be a big deal.

However, this time the plan failed.

Although she was somewhat unwilling, in order to avoid Fang Ling's suspicion, she gritted her teeth, picked up the soup bowl, scooped a spoonful of soup and put it into her mouth.

But when the spoon just touched her lips, Fang Ling said:

"It seems that you yourself don't know what that rough servant woman added to the yam soup."

When Zhao Xueqing heard this, she was startled and immediately realized that Fang Ling already knew about the affair between her and the maid.

But why?

They were obviously very careful.

It seems that Fang Ling has caught him this time.

No…No.

The drug in the soup was put by the servant woman.

The old woman also bought the drugs herself.

All she had to do was to deny that she knew anything about it.

She looked up at Fang Ling.

"Princess, I don't understand what you mean?

How could something be put into the soup?

If the princess doesn't believe me, I will drink up all the two bowls of soup."

As she said that, Zhao Xueqing opened her mouth to drink the soup again.

Seeing this, Qin Mu picked up a chopstick on the table and threw it towards Zhao Xueqing's wrist holding the spoon.

"what!"

Zhao Xueqing screamed and the spoon in her hand fell to the ground randomly.

"Put down the soup bowl."

Qin Mu said sternly.

Zhao Xueqing had no choice but to put down the yam soup. Her wrist was hurt by being hit by the chopsticks, but she didn't dare to complain.

However, in order to clear herself of suspicion, her face was full of innocence and confusion.

Fang Ling was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when she saw Zhao Xueqing's look.

Zhou Ruolan was somewhat puzzled when she saw this scene.

Isn’t it just yam soup?

Your Majesty, if the princess doesn’t want to eat, then she doesn’t have to eat.

Sister Xueqing, why do you want to persuade me to eat?

Also, the princess said that she would give the soup to Sister Xueqing.

Why not let her eat it?

Could it be that there is poison in the soup?

Sister Xueqing wants to poison the prince and princess.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ruolan was so shocked that she covered her mouth with her hands.

The princess had previously instructed her to keep an eye on Zhao Xueqing's every move.

Now, Zhao Xueqing had actually managed to poison the prince and princess' food without telling her.

If that's the case, then she is also to blame.

Anyone who plots to murder a member of the royal family will be punished by the extermination of all three clans.

How dare Zhao Xueqing?

She is really going to kill me.

When Zhou Ruolan thought of this, she could no longer remain calm.

She knelt down and apologized.

"My Lord, Princess, I have no idea what Zhao Xueqing did.

But I am also guilty. I failed to keep a close eye on Zhao Xueqing, giving her the opportunity to kill me.

Please punish me, my lord and princess.

I just beg you, my lord, and my princess, to have mercy on me and not implicate my family."

After hearing Zhou Ruolan's words, Zhao Xueqing gave her a sharp look.

"No wonder you've been so attentive to me lately?

So you were watching me on orders.

I thought of you as a sister, but I didn't expect that you had already sold me out in front of the princess.

I didn't expect a bitch like you to be so good at pretending?"

As she spoke, Zhao Xueqing knelt on the ground with a plop.

"Princess, I admit that I have thought about becoming... the prince's concubine.

But I simply adore Your Majesty and have no other bad intentions.

I have indeed thought of a way to get as close to the prince as possible.

But the prince doesn't care about me at all, I don't stand a chance at all.

Although I felt somewhat unwilling, I also knew that my status was low, so I retreated in the face of difficulties.

I thought that I would just be a slave in the palace from now on.

I dare not have any more unreasonable thoughts.

He didn't even dare to think of murdering the prince and princess.

Please Your Majesty, Princess, understand this."

What he said was sincere.

Unfortunately, Fang Ling already knew about her and the maid's plan.

So, no matter how good Zhao Xueqing is at acting, it’s useless.
