After refusing to be whitewashed, the regent was madly criticized for acting like a baby and begging for favor Chapter 45 Does Husband Think I'm a Poisonous Woman?
Chapter 45 Does Husband Think I'm a Poisonous Woman?
"Oh, I'll give you three more days. If you can't take off Gu Yechen's head, I will take your head!"
After that, the man dropped a bottle of medicine.
"This medicine was secretly fed to Chu Ling. Since it can't kill Gu Yechen, let's poison this troublesome woman to death."
…
When Chu Ling fell into a trance, she was hugged into someone's arms.
Because of the familiar embrace, Chu Ling's originally tense expression slowly relaxed a little.
She knew it was Gu Yechen.
The man holding her also sighed slightly.
But what Chu Ling didn't know was that the man came alone.
He gently rubbed his chin against her forehead without wearing a mask.
But Chu Ling, who was sleeping soundly, was completely unaware.
When it was time for breakfast the next day, Chu Ling didn't see Gu Yechen. She almost suspected that she had a hallucination last night.
At this time, in the middle of the meal, the magpie came in and reported: "Princess, that girl Xia, she wants to see you."
Chu Ling held her chopsticks and frowned, but did not answer directly.
The magpie looked at her carefully, "Princess, do you want to see her? If not, will the servant send her away?"
"Let her in."
When she was sent to Prince Ling's Mansion last night, she thought that was the end of the matter.
Unexpectedly, it was a bit unlucky for someone to send me away and then come back.
Soon, Xia Birong carefully walked into the house with small steps, and obediently handed over a basket on her arm.
"Princess, this is the flower cake that my slave made for you. I also want to thank you for taking care of me yesterday."
Her smile was not as charming as when she saw the man. At this moment, she only had a cautious look on her face, as if Chu Ling would get angry at the next moment.
Chu Ling slightly raised her eyebrows and said, "Miss Lao Xia actually made flower cakes for me."
"Anyway, I'm living a good life in Prince Ling's Mansion, and I'm grateful to the Princess for taking care of me."
She opened the cloth from the basket.
There are indeed flower cakes inside, and they are still made to look like flowers.
Chu Ling chuckled softly, picked up a piece of flower cake and played with it in the palm of her hand, "Miss Xia's craftsmanship is exquisite, and the work is indeed beautiful."
Xia Birong's eyes flickered and she quickly said: "Princess, if you try one piece, you will know that this slave's craftsmanship is really good."
Chu Ling could see through her thoughts at a glance.
I'm afraid there was some manipulation done to this flower cake, right?
She closed her eyes and opened the petals of the flower cake with a half-smile.
Put it to the tip of your nose and smell it.
This action made Xia Birong's heart jump into her throat.
Chu Ling sniffed the flower cake in her palm while scanning her expression. The more nervous she felt, the more she knew there was something wrong with the thing in her hand.
"Why does this flower cake smell wrong to me?"
she asked pretending to be confused.
In a word, Xia Birong was a little panicked.
The corner of her mouth twitched and she said, "What? How could this be... wrong?"
The magpie also came over to smell it and deliberately took out the silver needle, "Princess, just in case, let's check if it's poisonous first."
Chu Ling secretly praised the magpie's intelligence in her heart.
At this time, the response was quite quick.
Xia Birong called out excitedly: "Princess, you... slave, how dare you poison you, please don't misunderstand me."
Chu Ling ignored her.
He lowered his eyes and waited quietly for the magpie to return.
Sure enough, the magpie quickly ran over and inserted the silver needle into the flower cake.
Seeing this scene, Xia Birong almost vomited blood and fainted. She stared nervously at the silver needle. Seeing that the silver needle was blackened visibly to the naked eye, she felt that her eyes were also turning black.
The magpie picked up the silver needle and was shocked: "Princess, it's poisonous!"
The magpie and the maids serving around him were frightened.
Only Chu Ling calmly picked up the tea cup and took a sip, looking at the woman in the distance with cold and indifferent eyes.
Xia Birong was so frightened by her eyes that her knees weakened and she knelt down.
It is said that people in the Western Region are soft-tempered and can be easily frightened.
Chu Ling smiled coldly, "Miss Xia, I have no enmity or grudge against you, how dare you harm me?"
"No... Princess, spare your life..."
"Princess, what should I do? Should I report this to the regent?" Magpie stepped forward and asked.
At any rate, this woman has now been sent to Prince Ling's Mansion. If she commits suicide without permission, Prince Ling may come to make trouble again.
"Do you want to live?" Chu Ling asked sadly.
Xia Birong, who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, swallowed hard and said with a trembling voice: "I want to..."
"Either tell this princess who ordered you, or swallow this poisonous cake yourself and weigh it yourself."
How could Xia Birong tell who was instigating her? If she did, she would probably die without a burial, but if she swallowed the flower cake directly, she might also take poison.
Her eyes twinkled violently.
Just by looking at her thinking before and after, Chu Ling knew that she must have chosen the latter.
After the woman's eyes flickered for a moment, she immediately rushed forward, grabbed the flower cake and stuffed it into her mouth like a gulp.
The magpie stood aside and looked dumbfounded.
Although they didn't mention anything, this woman would rather swallow the flower cake than reveal the person behind it.
Xia Birong swallowed half of it and her face changed drastically. She didn't know whether she was choked by the flower cake or poisoned.
She turned her head and quickly spit out the flower cake in her mouth.
Following this move, her eyes began to shed tears, and tears of blood continued to flow down.
The magpie was so frightened by Xia Birong's appearance that she jumped back repeatedly.
Chu Ling's expression did not change.
She calmly watched the woman who suddenly shed tears of blood fall to the ground and raised her eyebrows slightly.
At this time, Magpie sneaked up to Chu Ling's side, swallowing her saliva softly, "What should we do, Princess, we..."
"Have someone return Miss Xia and the flower cake to Prince Ling's Mansion, so that Prince Ling won't come looking for her."
After Chu Ling finished speaking, the guards quickly came in and carried the person away.
The magpie said: "But Princess, if King Ling finds out that he cannot save this woman, won't he blame you?"
Although the regent's status is here to stay, today is different from the past. The regent sitting in a wheelchair is no longer as intimidating as before.
Prince Ling seemed to be carefree, but in fact he was not afraid of the regent at all.
Just the fact that he deliberately came to the house that day to cause trouble for the princess is enough to prove this.
Chu Ling tapped her fingers on the table, thoughtfully, and said slowly: "You can rest assured, if he really comes to make trouble, I will smash the flower cake on his face."
She is not the weak Chu Ling she used to be.
She can still easily solve this small problem.
At least this little thing disturbed Gu Yechen.
"What are you talking about?" Gu Yechen's voice came unexpectedly from the door.
It happened that I overheard their conversation.
The magpie took a step back in fright, "See you, Your Majesty."
And the blood stains that Xia Birong just left on the ground fell so brightly on the ground, it was very scary.
Gu Yechen glanced at the blood stains and pursed his lips.
Magpie immediately explained: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, this is not the Princess's..."
"Get out." Ye Qi glared at Magpie.
This girl has been following the princess for a long time recently. Is she not afraid of death anymore?
The magpie shrank its neck in fright and quickly bowed and left.
Chu Ling stood up and walked towards Gu Yechen's wheelchair, "Husband, you came back very early today. Don't you usually have to stay in the palace for a long time to discuss state affairs?"
Gu Yechen slowly withdrew his gaze.
"Well, the emperor is feeling unwell today and left the court early. But you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Chu Ling held his big hand.
"In that case, husband, why don't we go to enjoy the flowers together? I saw the crabapple flowers in the backyard, and I recommend you to go and take a look."
Ye Qi originally wanted to speak, but was stopped by Gu Yechen's eyes.
Chu Ling pushed Gu Yechen's wheelchair out with a smile on her face, "My husband just saw the blood on the ground, will you think I am a poisonous woman?"
Thinking back to her previous life, the way Seventh Brother looked in hatred when he called her a cruel and vicious woman, she looked back on it now as a joke. This chapter has been completed!
