When she first saw it, Jiujiu had felt that there was a problem with this tree. Now that she knew how this tree had ended up in Wang Fei's hands, she knew where the crux of the problem was.
If she had guessed correctly, this tree had been given to Wang Ye by the ce fei.
This tree had a curse. Given by Wang Ye, it had passed through the Empress Dowager's hands and then into Wang Fei's hands. It would slowly transfer Wang Ye's love for Wang Fei to ce fei. As to the Empress Dowager's illness, it was because she had been poisoned by the tree.
Jiujiu spoke with the Empress Dowager for a while before the Empress Dowager returned to the palace.
After sending the Empress Dowager away, just as Jiujiu was thinking about how to deal with ce fei, someone suddenly sent a message saying that ce fei was looking for Jiujiu.
Jiujiu didn't want to go, but when she thought about how she had to deal with ce fei, she spoke with Wang Fei and the Empress Dowager before going to ce fei's room.
The courtyard where the concubine lived was naturally very good. There were countless rare herbs outside the house, but the positions of those herbs were very special.
Jiujiu had always believed that there was no love or hatred without reason in the world. But now, she knew that love in the world could be transferred. For example, Wang Ye's love for Wang Fei had been silently transferred by ce fei to her.
But ce fei's skills were not good enough. Wang Ye only wanted to do her, and not love her. It was a bit sad.
Jiujiu walked into ce fei's room. Ce fei was not there. When she sat down, someone brought her a cup of tea.
The tea was good tea, the water was good water, but the thing added to the tea was not good. With one look, Jiujiu knew what it was.
A drug that could make her sleep for a long time.
Jiujiu picked up the teacup and put it to her mouth. She blew at the foam on the tea and then put the teacup to the side.
The ce fei who had been peeking outside saw Jiujiu pick up the teacup and then put it down. She wanted to rush out and grab Jiujiu's neck to force Jiujiu to drink all the tea.
The vice concubine watched for a long time. Jiujiu kept picking up and putting down the teacup, but she didn't drink it. The vice concubine became more and more anxious. She couldn't help but come out and greet with a smile, "Sorry to keep you waiting."
Jiujiu smiled. "I just arrived. It's fine."
The side consort sat down beside Jiujiu. She looked at the cold tea and asked, "Do you not like this tea?"
Jiujiu smiled. "Yes, I don't like this tea."
The vice concubine's expression froze.
Jiujiu looked at the vice concubine, whose face was stiff, and continued, "After all, the things in the tea can kill people."
Jiujiu's words scared the vice concubine so much that she almost fell off the stool. Her body began to tremble.
The vice concubine had only lived for 20 years. The last time she was so scared was because she saw Ru Si's strange and unpredictable ability. But this time, it was even weirder than that time.
Even though she was suspected by Jiujiu, the vice concubine still defended herself with a pale face, "I, I don't know what you are talking about."
Jiujiu curled her lips, "You know. After all, you put that thing in the tea yourself. How can you not know?"
The vice concubine was shocked again. Her body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Seeing how the concubine was frightened by her, the smile on Jiujiu's lips deepened. Her eyes curved as she said, "You don't know how to be afraid when you hurt someone, but you are afraid after being exposed. You are really timid."
After Jiujiu said these words, the vice concubine had already knelt on the ground. The vice concubine trembled and begged for mercy in a trembling voice, "I know I was wrong. Don't kill me. Don't kill me."
"You are so timid, but you still hurt people. Is this medicine yours?"
The vice concubine shook her head, "No, it's not mine. Ru Si gave it to me. She threatened me. I didn't want to kill you. It's not me. It's not me. Don't kill me. Don't kill me."
A series of pleas for mercy came out of the concubine's mouth, which made Jiujiu's head hurt.
Jiujiu reached out to cover the vice concubine's mouth. After successfully making the vice concubine shut up, Jiujiu whispered, "Don't worry. Tell me bit by bit. Who is Ru Si?"
Being stared at by Jiujiu's chestnut-colored eyes, the vice concubine only felt that her mind was sucked in. There was no thought in her mind. She would say whatever Jiujiu asked.
After hearing the vice concubine's words, Jiujiu instantly raised the corner of her mouth. The vice concubine was not the vice concubine, but Ru Si.
Moreover, it was Ru Si who asked someone to do the thing that she fell into the water.
Thinking of Li Jiuniang's ending in her last life, Jiujiu seemed to know something.
Ru Si was a courtesan in the brothel. She had no grievances with Li Jiuniang. Why did she frame Li Jiuniang for no reason? She thought that it was because of Mu Qing.
However, she was a courtesan, while Mu Qing was just a scholar. How could she frame Li Jiuniang for Mu Qing? She thought that it was because she had known about Mu Qing for a long time.
Thinking of the things that Ru Si had done, and the words that she said to the vice concubine that she was also a time-traveler, Lin Mengya could relate that Ru Si was also a time-traveler. Moreover, the protagonist of this world should be Mu Qing.
The reason why Ru Si targeted Li Jiuniang was probably because of Mu Qing. Now Ru Si wanted to kill Lin Mengya, so it must be because of Mu Qing.
Jiujiu looked at the vice concubine who was kneeling on the ground and trembling. She raised the corner of her mouth and said, "I'll give you one day to pull out all the flowers and plants in the courtyard. Go and apologize to Prince Yu."
"I won't go. Prince Yu will kill me." The vice concubine shook her head repeatedly.
The reason why Prince Yu liked her was that she used these arrays and charms. When Jiujiu asked her to pull out the flowers and plants, she destroyed the most important part of the charms. When Prince Yu woke up, he would definitely kill her.
Jiujiu looked sideways at the cowardly vice concubine. She did not know what to say.
When she schemed against Prince Yu and put the charms on Prince Yu, she did it without hesitation. Now when she asked her to apologize, she immediately became timid.
Jiujiu reached out and pinched the vice concubine's chin. She chuckled and said, "Do you think that Prince Yu won't know what you did if you don't apologize? Don't forget that I can see the problem here. Naturally, I can remove the charms on Prince Yu. Go and apologize or let me do it. You choose. "
The vice concubine's face stiffened. She lowered her head and whispered, "I'll go and apologize."
Jiujiu smiled and said, "Good girl. Don't worry. You're still useful. Prince Yu won't do anything to you."
The vice concubine breathed a sigh of relief when she got Jiujiu's promise.
After Jiujiu left, the vice concubine asked the servants to pull out all the flowers and plants in the courtyard. Then she went to apologize to Prince Yu.
Not to mention what Prince Yu and Wang Fei would do after the vice concubine said those words, when she saw that Jiujiu had already left, she was stunned. Why did Mu Qing move?
She had heard from the vice concubine that Ru Si and Mu Qing were together. She had prepared to come and settle the score. But who would have thought that Mu Qing's room was already empty. When she asked the neighbors, they said that Mu Qing had moved out after getting married. Even they did not know where Mu Qing had moved to.
