Chapter 1566: His Change
Ye Qing looked at the President’s wife, who was smiling so much that her eyes were dark. His slender fingers tapped on his knee. “What are your conditions, Madam?”
The President’s wife took a sip of tea elegantly, her gaze on Ye Qing looking slightly unfathomable. “I like to talk to smart people.”
The President’s wife put down the exquisite porcelain teacup and clapped her hands.
A masked man walked out with a silver box in his hand.
He walked behind the President’s wife and stood straight.
At the same time, the President’s wife took out a white transparent bottle from the coffee table drawer.
“If you want to save the woman you love, drink this bottle of Forgetting Love Potion.” The smile on the President’s wife’s lips remained unchanged, her eyes flas.h.i.+ng with an unnoticeable ruthlessness. “I got someone to specially develop this. Drinking it will not harm your body.Iit will only make you forget your most beloved woman!”
Ye Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, his jaw tightening as he said coldly, “What if I don’t drink it?”
“I won’t force the Third Prince. After all, you have a n.o.ble status. But I’m afraid that Miss Gu will be locked up for the rest of her life.”
The President’s wife leaned against the sofa, her eyes filled with confidence. “I believe that apart from me, no one else will be able to find any evidence to clear Miss Gu’s name no matter how smart the Third Prince is!”
The President’s wife was very smart. She knew that to deal with Gu Meng, she had to separate her from Ye Qing first.
As she had said, Ye Qing was the Third Prince. If she poisoned him or injured him, S Country would not let her off easily.
If the two countries became enemies, it would not be good for both parties!
The only way was for Ye Qing to forget Gu Meng again!
The President’s wife stared at Ye Qing, whose expression was cold and his lips pursed tightly. She was not in a hurry to let him make a decision.
Even if he did not drink it, as long as she did not appear, Gu Meng would be thrown into jail and would not be a threat to her!
Five minutes later.
The President’s wife broke the dead silence. “Your Highness, you should go back and think about it before contacting me. I have something to do later, so I won’t send you off.”
The President’s wife wanted to stand up, but Ye Qing said with furrowed eyebrows, “What if I drink it and you go back on your words and refuse to hand over the murderer who put the poison?”
The President’s wife smiled. “You will only feel sleepy after drinking it. If I regret my decision, you can use these two hours to find trouble with me!”
“I can drink it, but before I leave, you have to let me know how the murderer poisoned the porridge.”
The President’s wife nodded. “No problem.”
Ye Qing took the white bottle with the medicine and sniffed it.
“I heard that the Third Prince knows some medical skills and can probably smell that there are no lethal drugs in here!”
Ye Qing shook the gla.s.s bottle and fell silent for a moment before he drank the liquid in one gulp.
The President’s wife did not think that Ye Qing would really be willing to drink this bottle of Forgetting Love Potion to save Gu Meng. She clapped her hands with a smile. “The Third Prince is a straightforward person.”
Ye Qing threw the bottle away, his dark eyes looking at the President’s wife. “Madam, can you tell me how you poisoned her?”
The President’s wife smirked. “Of course.” Then, she looked at the masked man standing behind her.
The man opened the box, took out a flute and played a song.
After a while, a dark green snake with a pair of eyes slithered out of the box.
Ye Qing immediately got up from the sofa, his dark eyes looking at the snake warily.
Following the music played by the masked man, the snake slithered to the coffee table, its tongue spitting out venom.
When Ye Qing saw this, he immediately understood how the poison had entered the porridge.
There was a vent in the ceiling of the ward. After Gu Meng put down the porridge and went into the bathroom, the snake spat out venom from the vent and into the porridge without anyone knowing…
Ye Qing laughed coldly. The main focus of their investigation was on the person. Who would have thought that the one who poisoned her was a snake under control?
Since the police could not find any snake venom in the porridge, it must have mutated!
As the wife of the president of a country, she actually had a snake charmer under her. She was really evil!
…
When Ye Qing returned to the hotel, sleepiness overwhelmed him and he fell asleep.
When he woke up the next day, he opened his eyes and saw that he was sleeping in a hotel. He called the head secretary over and asked with a cold expression, “Why am I here?”
The head secretary was surprised. “Your Highness, don’t you remember? You came here to find the President’s wife to ask her to save Miss Gu.”
“Miss Gu? Who is she?”
The head secretary was speechless.
…
Gu Meng had not slept well for almost two nights and her eyelids were heavy. She could not take it anymore and planned to sleep.
The door of the detention room opened and Captain Zhu stood at the door.
Gu Meng glanced at Captain Zhu. “No matter how many times you interrogate me, I will still say the same thing. I didn’t poison her.”
Captain Zhu looked at Gu Meng, whose eyes were red and had a faint shadow under them, and said apologetically, “Miss Gu, it’s really not you. The murderer has been found.”
Gu Meng’s sleepy mind immediately sobered up. She stood up from the bed and strode towards Captain Zhu. “Did you find him? Who is the murderer?”
“Come with me.”
Captain Zhu brought Gu Meng to the coroner’s office.
There was a snake lying in the coroner’s office.
Many girls were afraid of snakes, but Gu Meng had grown up in the fis.h.i.+ng village and she was not particularly afraid of such things. She only frowned when she saw snakes.
Captain Zhu pointed at the snake that was under anesthesia and said, “This is the murderer. We were able to collect the same venom in the ventilation shaft of your father’s ward.”
Gu Meng froze, her eyebrows furrowing even tighter. “Who does this snake belong to?”
“We’re still investigating.”
Gu Meng knew very well that it was the President’s wife.
Ye Qing had gone to look for the President’s wife, which was why she had sent this snake over to clear her name!
However, what kind of agreement had Ye Qing reached with her?
“Captain Zhu, can I go now?”
“You can leave after you settle the paperwork.”
…
After leaving the police station, Gu Meng took a taxi to Ye Qing’s palace.
She had a bad feeling.
Logically speaking, he should have come to fetch her after she was released today!
But he had not appeared.
Did something happen?
The car stopped at the entrance of the palace. Gu Meng thought that she could go in like before, but the guard at the door stopped her.
“Miss Gu, His Highness has instructed that no one is allowed to enter.”
Gu Meng’s fan-like eyelashes fluttered and she looked at the guard in disbelief. “He gave the order personally?”
“Yes!”
Gu Meng’s hands by her sides clenched into fists unconsciously.
How could it be?
