The concubine escaped and cried when she met the prince again

"Lady Ding, do you have any ideas?" Several other beauties looked at Lady Ding and asked at the same time.

Lady Ding held out her hand and said to the others, "Give each of you five taels of silver and wait for the news."

When Lady Wu heard that she wanted five taels of silver, she looked at Lady Ding with an unhappy face and said, "Lady Ding, why don't you go and rob her?"

Five taels of silver is nearly their monthly salary. If I give it to her, what will they spend it on?

Although each of them brought a lot of dowry, they still had a long time to live and they couldn't just spend it all in a few strokes.

Lady Ding said indifferently, "Whether to do it or not is up to you."

After Lady Ding finished speaking, she left in a good mood.

She thought happily in her heart that if every beauty could really give her five taels of silver, apart from the money she would have to pay to hire someone to do the job, she could still earn a lot, so why not?

That day, in Jiang Dichen's study, Jiang Yingxue said coquettishly beside her brother, "Fifth brother, can you go and speak well of Prime Minister Lan and ask father to reinstate him?"

After Jiang Yingxue finished speaking, she paused and continued to complain: "Lan Wanxi is the only one who has a lot of troubles. Which illegitimate son has not gone through the same thing? If you don't believe it, look at my ninth brother and thirteenth sister, aren't they all like this? My father still demoted them..."

Jiang Dichen listened to his sister talking more and more outrageously, and he scolded her: "Xue'er, this is not something you, a girl, should be involved in. Just do what you should do."

Seeing her brother was angry, Jiang Yingxue looked at him with a face full of grievance and said, "Fifth brother, Sister Rong is right. That Lan Wanxi is a jinx. Since you brought her back to the mansion, not only has the Prime Minister's Mansion been ruined, but you also don't want me as your sister anymore."

Jiang Dichen looked at his sister who looked aggrieved, frowned and said to her: "Xue'er, what nonsense are you talking about? When did I say I don't want you anymore?"

Jiang Yingxue sat on a chair nearby and said unhappily, "Humph, ever since Lan Wanxi came, you won't listen to anything I say."

"If you are right, I will listen to you," said Jiang Dichen.

Jiang Yingxue pouted as she looked at her brother and said, "Alright, even if I'm being unreasonable, you're on my side, Fifth Brother."

Jiang Dichen rubbed his brows after hearing what his sister said, "You were young before, but now you have grown up. It is time for you to learn how to behave. Otherwise, when your brother is not around, your temper will offend many people and bring trouble to yourself."

Although he can protect his sister all his life, there are times when he is out of reach. He doesn't want his sister to bring him misfortune because of her actions.

Jiang Yingxue heard what her brother said, and she shook her head vigorously and refused: "Fifth brother, no, I'm fine now, I don't want to learn anything."

After saying that, she stood up and ran out.

Seeing her like this, Jiang Dichen looked at his sister's back and frowned, saying, "Don't go back to the palace these days. Stay in the palace and learn the rules."

Jiang Yingxue, who had already run away, felt hopeless after hearing what her brother said. She wanted to refuse, but when she saw her brother's door closed, she knew there was no room for negotiation.

She walked around the palace with a depressed look on her face, thinking that all this was caused by Lan Wanxi. She made up her mind to make Lan Wanxi pay the price.

In Qingfeng Courtyard, Wan Dong saw her mistress covering her mouth with medicine powder. She walked up to her curiously and asked, "Master, what kind of medicine is this? Why do you need to..."

Before Wan Dong could finish his words, he fainted on the ground with a bang.

Shen Ruolan looked at the fainted little girl, her face full of helplessness. This girl was so naive. Didn't she see that she had to cover her mouth when she was putting on the medicine? If she got close like this, something would definitely go wrong!

Shen Ruolan had no choice but to put down the medicine powder in her hand and wash her hands before helping Wandong with acupuncture. The medicine powder she used was very effective and would be very bad for the internal organs if not used for too long.

However, what Shen Ruolan did not notice was that just as she left, a maid who had been cleaning the house quietly, followed her example, covered her mouth, grabbed a handful of medicine powder with a handkerchief, and hurried away.

After washing her hands, Shen Ruolan was in a hurry to give Wandong an acupuncture treatment and did not notice anything unusual with the medicine powder for a while.

After she helped Wan Dong with the acupuncture, she saw that her medicine powder had been touched. She immediately shouted to He Yue outside the house with a sullen face: "Yue'er, who just entered the house?"

He Yue came in and listened to what her mistress said. She thought for a moment and said, "My mistress, except for Nanny Xie and Wan Dong, no one else came in just now."

After Shen Ruolan heard what He Yue said, she asked with a dark face, "Where is Madam Xie?"

He Yue saw that her mistress looked unhappy. She glanced at the room and said to Shen Ruolan, "My mistress, I will go out and look for her right away."

After He Yue finished speaking, she quickly turned around and walked out.

When He Yue came out, Nanny Xie just came back from outside. When she saw He Yue, she smiled at her as usual and continued with her work.

He Yue looked at her back and shouted, "Thank you, Madam. The young master is looking for you."

When Aunt Xie heard Shen Ruolan was looking for her, she felt a little guilty, but she pretended to be calm and smiled dryly at He Yue, "Miss He Yue, may I ask what the young lady wants to see me about?"

"You'll know when you go in." He Yue said.

In fact, she didn't know why the young master wanted to find this nanny, because this nanny was always quiet and hardworking, and it was generally difficult to find fault with her.

"Yes." Seeing that she couldn't get any information out of him, Nanny Xie had no choice but to bite the bullet and go into the house with He Yue.

"Your servant greets the young lady." Nanny Xie came into the room and bowed to Shen Ruolan.

Shen Ruolan approached Aunt Xie, took out a silver needle and shook it in front of her eyes and asked, "Aunt Xie, tell me the truth, who did you give the medicine you stole from me today?"

The amount of powder stolen from her was at least two taels. If used to deal with the enemy, it could knock out at least thirty big men. Of course, this was not what she was worried about. People would wake up after being knocked out for a period of time. She was just afraid that others would eat it by mistake, which could be fatal.

After hearing Shen Ruolan's question, Aunt Xie pretended to be puzzled and said, "My lady, I don't know what you are talking about. I didn't touch anything else except sweeping the floor and wiping the cabinets today."

Seeing that she didn't tell the truth, Shen Ruolan took the silver needle and stabbed it into her finger without saying anything. She said to her with a cold face: "You don't want to tell me, right? Then I will let you taste the taste of the silver needle today."

As Shen Ruolan spoke, she inserted another needle.

"Ah!" Madam Xie screamed in pain. Seeing Shen Ruolan continue to inject another needle, she quickly knelt down and begged for mercy, "My lady, I really didn't take your medicine. It's unfair!"

Seeing that the other party would not cry until she saw the coffin, Shen Ruolan no longer showed any mercy and stabbed the silver needle in her hand mercilessly into Nanny Xie's vital points.

At this time, the nanny in Muyun Court of the palace who was in charge of serving the Ninth Princess looked at her with a troubled face and advised: "Princess, I don't know what medicine this is. It's too dangerous. You'd better not take it."
