Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Madam Dan took a deep breath and looked at Gu Lingyue, asking, “What exactly do you want to do?”
Along the way, Gu Lingyue was either putting on makeup or eating desserts. She was not nervous at all, and she did not tell Madam Dan about her plan, which made Madam Dan feel uneasy.
Gu Lingyue laughed out loud. She looked at Madam Dan and said, “I will refine some very special medicine. After eating this medicine, it will turn people into lunatics. At that time, I will give you poisoned snacks. You have to deceive
Noble Consort Xian and the people around her to take them. I know that Noble Consort Xian especially trusts you as her sister-in-law. When you do a good job, His Highness will be very grateful to you.”
Madam Dan’s eyes widened in surprise. “You actually want me to harm her? She’s Prince Heng’s sister!”
“If Noble Consort Xian doesn’t die, no matter if it’s you, me, or His Highness, we will all die with her. Do you want to drag His Highness and your daughter down?” Gu Lingyue raised her eyebrows and asked.
“But, but…” Madam Dan’s face turned red. She lowered her head and said with difficulty, “If I’ve just gone to Noble Consort Xian and the people around her have all become fools. Then wouldn’t I be suspected very soon? ‘
“Don’t worry, the poison in the desserts won’t take effect immediately. At first, it will only make them silent and lose their ability to think. Outsiders will only think that they are resisting and unwilling to tell the truth. By tomorrow, they will all go crazy.” Gu Lingyue gradually lost her patience as she explained, “Just listen to me and do as I say.”
“Alright then.” Although Madam Dan was feeling uneasy, she had no other choice but to obey.
After Madam Dan entered the Dalace. Noble Consort Xian was as enthusiastic as ever.
Noble Consort Xian was also worried that the matter with Imperial Physician Qin had not been resolved. When she heard that Madam Dan had entered the palace, she had been waiting at the palace gate for her son. Seeing Madam Dan, she immediately walked up excitedly and held her hand, “Good sister-in-law, you’re finally here! You don’t know how uneasy I am.”
Madam Dan looked at the beautiful Noble Consort Xian in front of her. She did not dare to let herself look out of place, “Xian’er, don’t worry. His Highness has already taken care of everything. He sent me into the palace to tell you to be at ease. Let’s go, I’ve also specially made some desserts for you and the people around you to try and calm down.”
Noble Consort Xian did not doubt Madam Dan’s words at all. She thought that the matter had been successfully resolved and pulled Madam Dan into the house.
“Your Highness, this servant will be waiting for you outside the hall.” At this moment, Gu Lingyue suddenly stopped in her tracks. Then, as if she had discovered something, she took a step forward and steadied the slightly crooked hairpin on Madam Dan’s head. Her finger, which was painted with red nail polish, seemed to have unintentionally scratched Madam Dan’s ear.
Madam Dan was in pain, but she did not dare to show it. She saw Gu Lingyue’s cold eyes and did not dare to resist. She obediently followed Noble Consort Xian into the hall.
Noble Consort Xian ordered the servants to bring up the desserts sent by Madam Dan. She had always eaten the desserts made by Madam Dan before, so she picked up a piece and put it into her mouth.
“Younger sister should also let the servants beside you eat with you.” Madam Dan said with a smile.
“This is sister-in-law’s kind intentions. How can you give it to the servants? ” Noble Consort Xian said with a look of disapproval.
Madam Dan began to lie, “Little sister, you may not know this, but these desserts are called happiness cakes. They are meant to be shared between the master and the servant, so as to bless the master and servant. The reason we were able to safely pass this tribulation was all because of little sister and her servants, so I specially made some happiness cakes. You guys should eat them quickly..”
