With that said, Yuanwu picked up the teacup on the table beside him and was about to put it into his mouth.
Suddenly a voice sounded, "General, don't drink!"
The tea that was almost reaching his mouth stopped.
The person who came was Qiushi. She looked a little embarrassed. Before Yuan Dai could ask questions, she hurriedly said: "General, this water is poisonous, you can't drink it!"
The pupils of the two people shrank slightly. Yuan Wu and Yuan Dai looked at each other. Then Yuan Wu took out a silver needle from his cabinet and put it into the tea. Sure enough, the silver needle gradually turned black.
"He was actually poisoned!"
Looking at the blackened silver needle, Yuan Wu couldn't help but feel a little scared. If he had drank it at that time, he didn't know what would happen now!
"Yes, he is from Concubine Zhao!" Qiushi said.
Qiushi's voice was a little weak. Yuan Dai looked at Qiushi, and then noticed her lower abdomen. The clothes there were soaked, as if...blood?
Because what happened just now was too urgent, and Qiushi was wearing black clothes, Yuan Dai didn't notice it at first, but now that she took a closer look, she realized something was wrong.
Yuan Dai hurried over and supported Qiushi. Her voice was a little panicked, "Qiushi, what's wrong with you?"
"Empress, slave, slave, everything is fine."
"The slave was hiding behind a tree at that time. Zhao Concubine's people must have noticed it, so they threw darts in my direction, but they probably didn't recognize me yet."
At that time, she saw something was wrong with the maid, so she followed her secretly. Who would have thought that they were planning to drug General Yuan! They wanted to poison General Yuan to death!
Because he was too shocked, he accidentally made a sound and was noticed by the other party.
Later, she was injured and fled all the way. Fortunately, she found a secluded place to hide and the other party did not catch her.
Only then was she able to rush back to report the news.
Listening to Qiushi's ramble, Yuan Dai burst into tears instantly, and said in a choked voice: "Qiushi, why are you so stupid? You should have run away earlier. If you ran earlier, you would be fine."
Qiushi shook her head, "I care about General Yuan. If something happens to General Yuan, I will be sad."
Of course, in addition to this, there is another reason why she admires Yuan Wu in her heart.
General Yuan Da defended his family and the country and safeguarded the peace of Eastern Europe. It was worth exchanging her humble life for General Yuan's life.
After Qiushi said this, she fainted.
Yuan Dai looked at the unconscious Qiushi, and suddenly panicked. Her tears couldn't stop falling, and they fell on Qiushi's body drop by drop. The tears mixed with Qiushi's blood, and they couldn't be distinguished.
Even the hands holding Qiushi trembled, "Call the doctor quickly, call the doctor quickly!"
In the room, Qiushi was unconscious, and the doctor was still treating her inside. Half an hour had passed, but to Yuan Dai, it seemed like a century had passed. Every minute of waiting was like an ant on a hot pot.
The meaning of Qiushi to her is no longer that of a slave or a master. In this strange world, Yuan Dai has already regarded her as her own sister.
It was at this moment that something called hatred for Zhao Li arose in her heart.
I just hated it before, but now I hate it!
She touched two of the most important people to her at once! How could she not hate them?
Zhao Li is like the little girl she hated the most in the orphanage. She would snatch everything from her. She would try her best to destroy everything she had. When it was over, she would pretend to be innocent in front of the mother, the dean.
He said he was careless.
Whenever this happens, the dean's mother will tell her, "She is still young and not sensible, so don't argue with her."
Then the little girl hid behind the dean's mother and showed off her power to her, showing a winner's smile.
Every time she recalled this scene, Yuan Dai felt sick and wanted to vomit.
I don’t know how long it took, but the doctor finally came out.
Yuan Dai hurriedly walked over, "How's it going? Is she okay?"
"It's nothing serious. It's just that I've hurt my body and I need to rest for a while."
As he said this, the doctor was also surprised. Judging from the appearance of that person, he should be a maid.
Ordinary maids are injured and die. A maid is only worth a few silver taels in total. This is the first time that Yuanfu spent a lot of money to treat her.
Of course, he only dared to say this in his heart, after all, he was not able to participate in the matters between these dignitaries.
Yuan Dai stuffed a few more pieces of silver into the doctor's hand and ordered: "This matter must not be revealed, otherwise you will understand."
The doctor nodded quickly.
Yuan Dai then turned around and entered the room. Qiushi was lying on the bed, her face pale and her breathing weak.
Yuan Dai stepped forward to trim her hair. Thinking of the lively and healthy little girl who was now lying on the bed dying, Yuan Dai felt extremely distressed in her heart.
She wiped her tears and then held Qiushi's hand.
"Qiushi, just wait, I will avenge you right away."
Yuan Dai came out of the room. She couldn't sleep because she had too many thoughts in her mind, so she walked around outside. Who would have thought that she would bump into Xiao Ling.
The two stood at both ends of the road and paused at the same time.
The air was quiet for a few seconds, and then Xiao Ling stepped forward.
"Will you go back with me tomorrow?"
Yuan Dai said nothing.
Xiao Ling sighed and said, "Dai Dai, believe me, I really had nothing to do with Zhao Li that day. She was the one who forced me to die, so I went there."
"Okay, I believe you."
Before Xiao Ling could be happy, Yuan Dai said again: "Then let me ask you, if you want to make a choice between me and Zhao Li, who would you choose?"
Xiao Ling was silent for a moment, and then said: "I..."
Before he could say the rest of the words, he was interrupted by Yuan Dai.
"Okay, no need to say any more."
He kept saying that he liked her, but he still hesitated on this issue.
What is he worried about? What is he thinking about?
Yuan Dai interrupted him, perhaps because she was afraid of hearing the answer, or perhaps she didn't want to hear the answer again.
Yuan Dai lowered her head and used the night cover to cover her red eyes.
"I will go back with you tomorrow."
"That's it, it's already late, I'm going back to sleep."
After saying that, she walked around Xiao Ling and left.
The moment they passed each other, Xiao Ling reached out to grab Yuan Dai, but missed.
He looked at Yuan Dai's retreating figure, then looked down at his hands, and whispered: "I'm sorry, Dai Dai."
Yuan Dai wiped her tears as she walked, and when she was far away, she started running.
The wind blew her hair, but it couldn't dry the tears on her cheeks.
When she returned to the bedroom, she couldn't help hiding her face and crying for a while.
She admitted that she felt soft-hearted for a moment when Xiao Ling explained to her, but this moment of soft-heartedness was instantly defeated by Xiao Ling's hesitation.
After crying for a while, Yuan Dai got up again and wiped away her tears.
Wait, she wants to return to the palace to avenge Qiushi.
