Long Yi came in to check several times and saw that the Prince was sleeping peacefully and was no longer breaking out in cold sweats, which made him feel much more at ease.
Xuexue asked him how the interrogation of the carriage driver was going.
Long Yi expressed his headache, saying that this carriage driver was a stubborn man, and no matter how they beat or tortured him, he just wouldn’t reveal the antidote nor who sent him to Moli Country, remaining silent about everything.
Long Yi said angrily, "That stubborn man is useless, maybe we should just kill him."
Xuexue waved her hand, saying, "No rush, let’s wait a few more days and see the Prince’s condition before deciding."
Long Yi nodded, "Hmm!"
That night, after Xuexue had her evening meal, she instructed the steward to add a bed next to the Prince’s bedroom. That night, she stayed beside him, never leaving Long Rui’s side.
The servants in the Prince’s Mansion saw this and greatly admired the Princess Consort’s behavior. The Prince was truly lucky this time! The Princess Consort, after seeing his true self, not only did not despise him, but showed deep affection and devotion, unlike Miss Gu, who only talked loudly but disappeared at the sight of trouble. When the Prince was unconscious, she was nowhere to be seen, but when the Prince awoke, she would run over to claim credit. Such a fake woman made the servants feel like dead people, as if the Prince were deaf, dumb, and mute and couldn’t distinguish right from wrong? Could he not inquire? Being foolish herself was one thing, but to treat others as idiots.
Late at night, darkness covered the entire earth, apart from the sounds of insects and wind, everything was silent.
At this moment, a shadow slowly approached the War Prince’s Mansion.
It came to the wall, glanced around, found nothing unusual, and the man in black leaped inside.
The side room.
"Nanny, do you think that ugly monster will get better?" Gu Lingqiao sat in front of the dressing table, took down the hairpin jewelry from her head, extended her delicate hands to pick up a wooden comb, and gently combed her hair.
The old maid shook her head and calmly said, "Probably not. The master’s poison is not easily cured, especially since the master cleverly used three poisons; even if the War Prince doesn’t die, it will be enough to cause him suffering."
"General Xiao is truly a fool. Even with the ugly monster in hand, he was rescued!" Gu Lingqiao’s beautiful face became extremely fierce due to her anger.
The old maid’s tone was also very dissatisfied: "Yes! Now that he’s captured, we hope he won’t disclose the master’s affairs and ruin the master’s big plans."
Gu Lingqiao opened her beautiful eyes wide, looking at the old maid, her voice became sinister: "Keeping him is a threat, why not kill him?"
The old maid pondered and then nodded, "Hmm, that might be good."
Gu Lingqiao: "To avoid long-term troubles, let’s act tonight."
The old maid: "Okay, leave this matter to me."
Saying this, the old maid’s voice became very strange, faintly carrying a hint of sarcasm: "You are now the high and mighty Miss Gu; such heavy work should be done by an old servant like me, lest it dirty your ladyship’s hands, which would be my fault."
In front of others, she was Gu Lingqiao’s servant.
Whenever Gu Lingqiao lost her temper, whether intentionally or not, she would vent it on her. The old maid was deeply dissatisfied with her in her heart, but since the master’s task was not yet completed, she had to bear with Gu Lingqiao.
Gu Lingqiao wasn’t stupid; she naturally noticed the old maid’s dissatisfaction with her.
"Nanny, we are now master and servant; of course, the act must be realistic, otherwise, others will be suspicious. If I have been disrespectful to you, please don’t take it to heart, old lady." The other party was an assassin, so Gu Lingqiao didn’t dare to be too arrogant, but sometimes when she lost her temper, she would forget this fact.
