Chapter 600: Definitely Alerting the Snake
Chapter 600: Definitely Alerting the Snake
"I can't help it, it's just that I'm so charming." Fu Ling said playfully.
The eldest prince's wife was amused beyond words: "Yes, yes, Ling'er is so charming. I wonder which noble family's son will be the lucky winner in the end?"
"What's so good about being a young master from an aristocratic family? As long as I like him, I don't care who he is or what his status is."
"Ling'er, there are very few women who can see things as clearly as you do." The eldest prince's wife was even a little envious of Fu Ling's free and easy attitude.
"Gurgle, gurgle..." As they were chatting, the eldest prince's wife's stomach suddenly began to protest, and she blushed with shame.
Fu Ling didn't mean to tease her: "Sister-in-law, the food is getting cold. Let's eat first and then talk slowly after that."
She moved the other five dishes towards the eldest prince's wife, but her chopsticks reached out for the spiced dishes.
The eldest prince's wife saw this and quickly stopped him: "Ling'er, you can't do that. It's poisonous."
"Sister-in-law, have you forgotten? This poison is only for pregnant women, not to mention that I am immune to all poisons."
The eldest prince's wife just thought it was a joke from Fu Ling. No one in this world is immune to all poisons.
She felt uncomfortable just thinking about the added ingredients, but she still tried her best to stop him: "Ling'er, if you like these three dishes, I'll ask the kitchen to remake them for you later. Regardless of whether they are harmful to your health, it's safest not to eat them."
"Sister-in-law, we can't reveal ourselves until we catch her evidence. If she notices that all the other dishes have been moved but these three have been left aside, she will definitely be alerted." Fu Ling explained in another way.
The eldest prince's wife thought it made sense, but she couldn't live with her conscience about letting Fu Ling eat poisonous food.
Seeing her entanglement, Fu Ling chuckled: "Sister-in-law, you have to believe me, if it is really harmful to the body, I would not dare to joke with my own body even if I had ten guts, don't worry~"
After hearing this explanation, the Crown Princess thought it made sense and said no more.
Fu Ling ate with gusto: "No wonder she chose these three dishes. Not to mention, these three dishes taste really good."
"Ling'er, you don't know that these three dishes are extremely complicated to prepare, and they need to be prepared at least three days in advance." The eldest prince's wife explained with a smile, and then the two of them chatted about the recipes of these three dishes while eating.
When Cuiping and the other two came in, most of the dishes on the table had been eaten.
Seeing that the eldest prince's wife looked much better than before, Nanny Huang felt relieved. "It has to be the princess. In the past few months, no matter how much I persuaded her, she couldn't eat much. Now that the princess has come, her complexion has improved a lot. I can finally feel at ease."
The eldest prince's wife's tone softened: "Madam Huang, you have been very tired in the past few months. Madam, please take care of yourself."
"This old servant is not in the way. As long as the princess and the little prince are safe, this old servant will be satisfied."
Qiu Die first glanced at the dishes on the table. All the other dishes were leftover, but these three dishes were all empty. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
Naturally, her every move did not escape Fu Ling's eyes. Just from her expression just now, he could tell that Qiu Die did not feel a bit of guilt for trying to harm her master. One could even see that she was extremely happy.
After Fu Ling digested Qiu Die's memories, he finally understood why Qiu Die hated the eldest prince's wife so much.
It turned out that she regarded the eldest prince's wife as an imaginary enemy. She had always had a crush on the eldest prince, even to the point of obsession.
But the eldest prince was a man of integrity. He never allowed maids to get close to him. Before marrying the princess, he didn't even have a maid to share his room with him. His first blood was directly given to the princess.
Fu Ling was somewhat impressed by his elder brother. He could remain as steady as an old dog even with such a beautiful woman in front of him. Not bad.
Putting aside other things, in terms of appearance, Qiu Die can be considered above average, but he didn't even look at her.
In Qiu Die's memory, she created countless chance encounters, but was directly ignored by the eldest prince.
The more she couldn't get what she wanted, the more restless she became, and her heart was completely tied to him.
[Alas, I, the emperor's sister-in-law, am truly wronged. For no apparent reason, I've been mistaken for a love rival. How miserable.]
Fu Ling sympathized with the eldest prince's wife, but she was an innocent victim.
Fortunately, she was chosen by chance. If she was farther away, maybe the other party's intention to harm her could be stopped. This personal service, plus the fact that there would always be some movement when the two of them were intimate, the bud of hatred in Qiu Die gradually grew into a towering tree.
At this time, someone gave her another opportunity, and of course she grabbed it without hesitation.
As far as she could remember, she didn't know who the other person was, but someone would deliver medicine to her every three days.
Tonight at midnight is the time to take the medicine. The bird's cry is the signal and the cat's meow is the corresponding code.
Fu Ling couldn't help but sigh at the caution of the ancients, and the transaction took place next to an inconspicuous dog hole.
After setting an alarm, Fu Ling slept with his clothes on. He got out of bed at 11: pm and was the first to arrive near the trading location, waiting for the big fish to appear.
With nothing to do, she leisurely admired the moon. Before the 10th of the lunar month, the moon in the sky was still round. Looking at the sun, Fu Ling couldn't help but think of her life on the island. At that time, she invited a group of friends to admire the moon together. She told Lu Beichen the love story of Chang'e and Houyi.
As she thought about it, the corners of her lips unconsciously rose. At this moment, a rustling sound nearby interrupted her recollection.
Turning my eyes towards the direction of the sound, I saw a man in a black cloak stealthily approaching the dog hole.
She looked around and after making sure that there was no one around, she squatted beside the dog hole and waited quietly.
"Chirp...Chirp..." Three bird calls suddenly came from the outer wall.
"Meow..." Qiu Die responded with the secret signal.
"Here, this is the medicine for the next three days, and the same will apply after three days." It sounded like a man's voice, and his voice sounded a little low, as if it was intentional.
"Can you increase the dosage after three days? I can't wait that long!" Qiu Die negotiated with the other party.
"Hmph, don't ruin the master's plan. Everything will continue as usual!" The other party did not agree to her request. He handed the medicine to her and warned her: "Don't mess around. If you ruin the master's plan, you know the consequences."
"I...I understand." Qiu Die immediately admitted defeat.
"Okay, that's good to know. Let's go back. Be careful and don't get discovered." After that, the footsteps faded away and disappeared into the night.
Qiu Die gritted her teeth in hatred and muttered to herself, "What are you so proud of? Wait until I win His Highness's favor and see how I'll deal with you."
Although the voice was low, Fu Ling still heard it clearly. He sneered. From the moment Qiu Die did this, her life no longer belonged to her. How could the other party, who was so cautious, leave any handle? It was probably when the eldest prince's wife died that it was also her memorial day. She was still dreaming here.
Fu Ling disappeared in a flash, and when he reappeared, he was already waiting for the man on the path he had to pass.
