Ling Yi looked at the Old Madam and asked.
“We’ll take it slow. There’s no hurry.”
So what if she’s scheming? She still has to curry favor with me at the Prince Zhan Yun Residence.
I can take my time. She’s just a young lady. Is there a need to worry that she won’t fall into my trap? There’s no way she’ll last long with Qian Jiyun!
“Get someone to keep an eye on that woman. Don’t let her out of our sight for even a second. Do you understand?”
!!
“Yes, Old Madam. I’ll do it now,” Ling Yi replied and turned to leave.
“Wait!” Old Madam stopped her.
“Old Madam, do you have any other instructions for me?”
Ling Yi turned around and felt that the two plates in her hands were an eyesore. She wanted to throw them away immediately.
“Leave that thing behind,” Old Madam instructed.
“What?”
Ling Yi did not understand her for a moment. She soon realized that Old Madam was referring to the two greasy plates she was holding.
Her eyes widened as she looked at Old Madam in disbelief.
“Old Madam, this is something that country b.u.mpkins eat. It’s unpresentable. You—”
“I told you to leave that behind. Do you hear me?”
Before Ling Yi could finish speaking, the Old Madam glared at her coldly.
Does she not know that everything from that village girl is ill-qualified? Does she need a servant to remind her?
But so what? She has to get to know An Jiuyue better to win her over, right? Besides, this thing may be useful in the future.
Ling Yi gaped slightly and replied reluctantly, “Yes, Old Madam.”
How can Old Madam eat such inferior food? What if… What if An Jiuyue drugged this?
“Old Madam, why don’t I ask Aunt Tang to take a look at this?” she suggested.
Aunt Tang was a physician in Old Madam’s courtyard. She did not have excellent medical skills, but she was well-versed in poison.
“Go on.” Old Madam waved her hand.
An Jiuyue just entered the Prince Zhan Yun Residence. She won’t have the guts to poison me. Even if Qian Jiyun instructed her to do it, she wouldn’t attack me so impatiently.
If anything happens to me now, everyone in the capital can drown Qian Jiyun with their spit!
However, she was still worried and sent Ling Yi to look for Old Tang.
“I’ll take my leave.”
Ling Yi left after setting down the two plates of spicy bars.
…
In the imperial study room in the palace…
Qian Jiyun was standing below, reporting to the old Emperor about Prince Lei Ting.
“So there is conclusive evidence for what Prince Lei Ting did?” the old Emperor asked, glancing at Qian Jiyun.
He knew how ambitious Prince Lei Ting was. He had sent him to the southern border to check and balance Qian Jiyun.
He was certain Prince Lei Ting would not be able to do anything as long as Qian Jiyun was around.
It was also impossible for Qian Jiyun to dominate the southern border with Prince Lei Ting around.
However, he did not expect Qian Jiyun to defeat Prince Lei Ting in just a few years. Qian Jiyun even obtained a lot of evidence against him, leaving him no choice but to punish him.
“I have presented all the evidence. You may examine it first, Your Majesty.”
