Chapter 2045: The Wolf King 40
“Young Lady Liu…”
Sister Gu cautiously placed a packet of medicine in Liu Qingqing’s hand. “This medicine is a strong one. Take it… Bring it to Fourth Prince Manor and give it to Fourth Prince. Then, needless to say, you will be able to achieve what you want.”
Liu Qinging immediately understood what Sister Gu’s meant. She trembled, biting her lip; her eyes were full of hesitation.
However, in the end, she still reached out and took medicine handed by Sister Gu.
She had liked Fourth Prince for so long; how could she give up just like that?
Therefore…
She closed her eyes slowly, and after half a second, she opened them with a resolute gaze.
“Sister Gu, I know exactly what to do. Will this medicine be harmful to his body?”
“Don’t worry, Young Lady Liu. It’s not harmful in any way. Are you still having doubts about me?” Sister Gu smiled faintly. “I know Young Lady Liu is a nice girl, and I’m afraid others might bully you there.”
Liu Qingqing pursed her lips. She lowered her gaze and fell silent.
“But…” Sister Gu paused. “Young Lady, this matter must not be known by the empress. The empress is a decent person. If she knows, she would not allow you to do such a thing. I only do so because I feel sorry for you…”
Liu Qingqing’s heart wavered, and she nodded slightly. “I understand, Sister Gu.”
“It’s getting late. You should go back first.” Sister Gu smiled and continued, “Go back and wait for the good news. Tomorrow, you will be going to Fourth Prince Manor. By then, the entire manor will be yours.”
Liu Qingqing was a bit stunned, but she did not speak more. She took a glance at Sister Gu and turned to leave.
Her legs were somewhat quivering, and her delicate body appeared to be a little weak under the clear breeze.
After Liu Qingqing left, the smile on Sister Gu’s face also faded away. She turned around and walked back to the palace.
From a distance, she saw the empress sitting on the soft couch. She hurriedly went to her and greeted her respectfully. “Empress…”
“Did you give her the medicine?” The empress picked up a grape and devoured it while asking expressionlessly.
Sister Gu said, “Yes, it’s already in Young Lady Liu’s hands.”
“Well, did you tell her that I gave it to you?”
“Empress, I told her that this matter must not be known by you. She does not know that it was you who gave the medicine to me.” Sister Gu smiled as she reported.
“Mm.”
The empress’s face relaxed at that moment.
She had asked the state preceptor to falsify the news that Flower King could cure the disease, just to lure Murong Qing to the wolf king.
Unexpectedly, the wolf king did not eat him but instead followed him back to his manor!
Now that Flower King was still in the palace. The state preceptor was anxious and uneasy.
Even though he could still make up the reason that Flower King had not bloomed yet due to some delay, once Flower King bloomed, his lie would definitely be exposed.
In that case, she would certainly be dragged down as well.
Therefore…
She had to kill Murong Qing before that happened.
If he died, Flower King would naturally be useless.
“Liu Qingqing… This woman is foolish. It’s such a waste if we don’t use her to destroy Murong Qing,” the empress sneered.
Sister Gu hesitated for a moment before asking, “Empress, you said before that Princess Feng Ruqing from Liu Yun Kingdom will be coming here and might want to take Young Lady Liu as her disciple. Since we have asked Liu Qinging to do this… What will happen to her later?”
