Rebirth: The Two-Faced Cook Meets the Cold-Faced King Qin

On the day of the flower banquet, at dawn, the sky turned pale, and the rays of light fell like fine sand on the intricately carved window sills of the Su family's residence. Every ray of light and shadow seemed to be whispering, foreshadowing the upcoming changes in the situation.

Second Aunt, the seemingly gentle but actually scheming woman in the Su family, woke up early from her bed with carved agarwood and brocade quilts and pillows. She did not get up early for the hustle and bustle of the flower banquet, but to carefully weave her own power network in this family feast.

In front of the brass mirror, she stroked her long hair, each strand of hair seemed to tell of her ambition and wisdom. Her eyes were as deep as an autumn pond, as calm as still water, but hidden in the turbulent waves. The smile that always hung on the corner of her mouth was like a carefully painted mask, covering up her inner coldness and calculation.

Today, she chose a gorgeous dress with peony flowers blooming on the hem, as if her ambitions and desires were embroidered in it. However, under this gorgeous dress, there is a heart that will do anything for power and status.

When the Second Aunt walked out of the room, the morning breeze, with a little coolness, gently brushed her face, as if trying to remove the layers of masks on her. She looked up at the sky, and the morning glow was as bright as fire, as if it was building momentum for her feast today.

She walked slowly along the winding path towards the venue of the flower banquet. She had already planned how to show off her skills at this banquet and scare away those potential enemies. Her eyes flashed with a sharp light, as if she had foreseen the moment when she would stand at the pinnacle of family power.

On the day of the flower banquet, the Prime Minister's Mansion was bustling with people, as lively as a busy market. Next to the carefully arranged flower beds, the silk tents swayed gently in the breeze, and the flowers underneath were even more colorful, just like beauties in the palace, each showing their most beautiful posture.

Guests came in an endless stream, some talking in low voices, some laughing loudly, forming a vivid picture. Among this group of people, the second aunt was undoubtedly the most eye-catching one.

She was wearing a gorgeous dress with exquisite embroidery, and every stitch and thread seemed to tell of her ambition and desire. Her face was delicate and her makeup was just right, she looked elegant and yet revealed a hint of subtle cunning. In her eyes, there was a desire for power, a persistence in status, and a hidden calculation.

Second Aunt shuttled among the crowd, her manners were elegant and generous, her words were sharp but graceful. Sometimes she chatted with a senior official, sometimes she whispered with a lady, and her every move and every word seemed to be laying out a carefully planned chess game.

In this flower banquet, the second aunt is undoubtedly the most outstanding actor. Every smile and every blink of her eyes is full of meaning. She is not only a woman who will do anything for power and status, but also a complex character full of wisdom and charm.

While everyone was intoxicated with joy, the second concubine quietly left the crowd. She walked to a remote corner with a smug smile on her face. She knew that this flower banquet was just a small starting point for her to reach the pinnacle of power, and the real competition had just begun. On the day of the flower banquet, the Su family house was bustling with guests. At this grand banquet, the second concubine became the focus of everyone's attention.

"Oh, Second Aunt looks so beautiful today!" a young lady exclaimed, her eyes lingering on Second Aunt's gorgeous clothes.

"That's right. The color and pattern of this dress are perfectly matched. It's really eye-catching." Another guest agreed.

Second Aunt smiled and responded: "Thank you for the compliment. Today's flower banquet could not have been so successful without your support and help."

"Second Aunt is too modest. The success of this flower banquet is entirely due to Second Aunt." An elderly family elder exclaimed, "Not only is the venue decorated exquisitely, but even the dishes and music are so exquisite. It really opened our eyes."

"Yes, yes!" There were waves of echoes from the crowd, "Second Aunt is not only beautiful, but also very capable. She is really the pride of our Su family."

Second Aunt shuttled among the crowd, chatting with guests from time to time, her words and deeds all revealed elegance and wisdom. She was warm and considerate to every guest, making people feel her sincerity and enthusiasm.

"

Throughout the banquet, there was an endless stream of praise. Second Aunt's beauty and ability became a hot topic among the crowd, and her presence added endless color and charm to the banquet.

On that day, Su Qianqian also deliberately acted unusually enthusiastic and took the initiative to invite the second aunt to enjoy the flowers together. The second aunt was secretly proud of herself, thinking that Su Qianqian had fallen into her trap. Han Yancui has always been beside Su Qianqian, and when everyone was drinking together, Han Yancui whispered to Su Qianqian: "Ning'er, when you are enjoying the flowers, the flowers have been tampered with. If you add this tea, it will kill you." Then Han Yancui stuffed a pill into Su Qianqian's hand: "Here, take it quickly, I guarantee that you will only feel slightly dizzy. When we return to the courtyard, I will detoxify you!" Su Qianqian nodded! Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, he swallowed the pill. However, this detail was clearly seen by Gu Yuan, Gu Peng and Guiying in the room. Gu Yuan looked at Gu Peng: "This Han Shen Doctor is really amazing. Second brother, is this really the junior sister of Kui Shen Doctor? How come I have never heard of her!" Gu Peng's eyes were cold, but with a hint of emotion: "She, she is the only disciple of Kui Shen Doctor. I thought she would be used by me in the future!" Gu Yuan looked at Gu Peng in surprise: "Second brother, you are giving your own person to Ning'er!" Gu Peng's eyes wandered around and said, "She should be fine tonight, let's go!" Gu Yuan scratched his head and returned to the general's mansion with a surprised face. After taking the pill, Su Qianqian felt dizzy. She immediately realized that it should be Yan'er's pill that worked. At this time, she caught a glimpse of a smug smile on the corner of the second aunt's mouth, and she immediately understood about 70% of it. This is the second aunt thinking that her plan has succeeded! . At this moment, Prime Minister Su also returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion. As soon as he entered the hall, he saw this scene!

Su Qianqian stood up, raised the wine glass in her hand, and said loudly: "Dear elders and guests, this glass of wine has been poisoned!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was in an uproar. Everyone looked at the wine glass in Su Qianqian's hand, only to see that the wine in the glass was slightly turbid and exuded a faint peculiar smell. "Nonsense, Ning'er, have you drunk a little too much!" Prime Minister Su said sternly. Su Qianqian did not respond to Prime Minister Su, and continued: "The person who poisoned was the Second Aunt!"

The second concubine's face changed drastically when she heard this. She denied it in panic: "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I poison you? Master! Look at your daughter! How could I...how could I poison you?" Prime Minister Su stared with his eyes and frowned: "Mi Tao, help your daughter back to her room to rest. She drank a little too much today!" Su Qianqian responded: "I have evidence to prove that the second concubine wanted to poison me!" Su Qianqian raised the evidence in her hand and said: "Here are the source of the poison, the method of poisoning, and the traces of the second concubine's contact with the poison, etc.". Su Qianqian showed them to everyone and the elders of the family one by one, leaving the second concubine with no way to refute. After Prime Minister Su looked at it, he raised his hand, pointed at the second concubine, and said: "You...how could you do such a cruel thing, Ning'er is my daughter, you...you" "Prime Minister Su was furious, hurry up, send the master back to his room!" Han Yancui shouted!

In the face of overwhelming evidence, the second aunt finally broke down. She collapsed on the ground and confessed her crime with tears streaming down her face. She admitted that she came up with the vicious plan of poisoning Su Qianqian because she was jealous of her status and talent in the family.

The elders in the family expressed great indignation and dissatisfaction with the Second Aunt's behavior. They immediately decided to deprive the Second Aunt of all her power and status, and expel her from the family, never to set foot in the Su family house again.

Su Qianqian returned to the house, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn. The weak candlelight flickered in the darkness, as if it would go out at any time. Han Yancui, the female doctor who was usually as gentle as water, was also tense at this moment, preparing to deal with the coming storm: "Ning'er, that second aunt will not give up like this!" Han Yancui continued: "It will take some time for your poison to be eliminated! If she sends assassins at this time, then we will be... in danger!"

Suddenly, a cold laugh broke the silence of the night sky, and the second aunt appeared at the door of the room like a ghost. She was dressed in black and had heavy makeup on her face, but it was hard to hide the viciousness and cruelty in her eyes. She stared at Su Qianqian on the bed with a sharp gaze, as if she wanted to eat her alive.

"Suning, your time of death has come!" The second aunt's voice was sharp and piercing. She waved her hand to signal the man in black behind her to come forward.

Su Qianqian's eyes were stern, she did not appear weak because of the poison. She struggled to sit up from the bed, tightly grasping the dagger in her hand, ready to fight the invading enemy to the death. Her eyes were firm and resolute, as if saying: "As long as I am still alive, I will never let you succeed!" At this time, Han Yancui also stood up. Although she was gentle, she exuded an awe-inspiring and inviolable aura at this moment. She stood in front of Su Qianqian's bed, looking coldly at the second aunt and her men, "If anyone of you dares to touch her hair, I will make you die without a burial place!"

The second concubine laughed sinisterly, "Han Yancui, who do you think you are? You think you can save Suning? You are really overestimating yourself!" As she said that, she waved her hand to signal the man in black to continue forward.

However, at this moment, a flash of cold light passed by, followed by a scream. It turned out that Su Qianqian had already made a move. The dagger in her hand flashed through the darkness like lightning, and instantly pierced the throat of a man in black. The man fell to the ground and there was no sound anymore.

This attack shocked the Second Aunt and her men. They didn't expect that Suning could be so decisive. Han Yancui took the opportunity to take out a few herbs from the medicine box, quickly ground them into powder, and then sprinkled them on the Second Aunt and others.

"Ah! My eyes!" Second Aunt and the others felt a sharp pain and then lost their sight. They ran around in panic, but bumped into walls or furniture one after another, screaming in pain.
