"Brother Rui, Lingling is here!" Before she even entered the room, Gu Lingqiao called out in a coy voice.
Xuexue said coolly, "Miss Gu, could you please keep your voice down? The Prince hasn’t woken up yet."
Gu Lingqiao exclaimed in surprise, "Impossible! How could the Prince not be awake? He was fine yesterday; it must be you, wicked woman, who caused Brother Rui not to wake up."
Xuexue’s lips curled into a cold smile as she asked, "Miss Gu, you can eat anything, but be careful what you say. I’m the Prince’s wife; why would I harm him?"
"You, evil-hearted woman, there’s nothing you wouldn’t do."
Gu Lingqiao forcefully bumped into Xuexue, dashed to the bed, and wailed at Long Rui, "Brother Rui, you poor thing, marrying such a venomous woman. If only Lingling had come looking for you earlier, we could have been together, and you wouldn’t suffer from this woman’s poison. Sob sob sob...!"
Xuexue stood aside, watching this woman perform her own drama. If Long Rui hadn’t told her that Gu Lingqiao was a fake, she might have been fooled again.
"Brother Rui... Brother Rui...!" Gu Lingqiao continued shaking Long Rui relentlessly.
"Cough cough cough...!" Long Rui couldn’t take it anymore and began coughing.
Long Rui had been on the brink of death last night. Just as his body was recovering, he was being shaken by Gu Lingqiao; how could he tolerate it?
Xuexue stepped forward, grabbed the back of her collar with one hand, lifted her in the air, and said coldly, "Miss Gu, the Prince is gravely ill; he can’t endure your shaking."
Gu Lingqiao was suddenly lifted in the air and panicked, not registering Xuexue’s words, and continuously wailed, "Ah... Ah... Help... Help...!"
"So noisy!" Xuexue dug her left ear and held Gu Lingqiao with her right hand, walking briskly to the door. With a fling, Gu Lingqiao flew out like an arrow released from a bow...
Whoosh whoosh...!
Bang...!
The guard at the door saw a shadow fly past his eyes, followed by a loud crash in the flower bed not far away. They turned their heads to look and nearly burst out laughing.
Gu Lingqiao was hanging upside down on the flower rack in the flower bed, struggling her limbs and letting out pig-like screeches, "Ah ah ah... Help... Help!"
At this moment, everyone understood the meaning of "the more you mess around, the more you suffer."
The old maid smiled silently at the corner of her mouth before stepping forward quickly, calling out anxiously, "Miss, Miss, are you alright?"
Hanging on the flower rack, Gu Lingqiao swayed as if she might fall, terrified, she cried out, "Nanny, save me, save me, save me!"
At this moment, Gu Lingqiao was no longer arrogant and domineering, like a frightened child, panic-stricken.
The old maid looked up and saw a thick flower vine wrapped around Gu Lingqiao’s body, preventing her from falling.
"Miss, don’t scream, your body swinging in mid-air is too dangerous. I’ll quickly get a ladder to get you down safely."
"Nanny, you’re the best!" Gu Lingqiao almost burst into tears. Indeed, in the War Prince’s Mansion, only her own people were reliable.
"Miss, hold on for a moment, the maid will get you down right away." The old maid’s mouth curled into a sly smile, and as she turned, she flicked her fingers from beneath her sleeves...
Whoosh...
A small stone swiftly flew towards Gu Lingqiao...
