When Xiao Xi returned to the Jade Cauldron, Duan Liusu was still discussing with Xiao Ya the plans to frame Duan Yunfei, but that plan came from Xiao Xi, or to be more precise, it was what Xiao Xi had said according to her plans.
This time, Duan Yingluo made up her mind, including the Empress in her heart.
According to etiquette, every time Duan Yunfei returned from the palace, he would go and pay respects to the empress. Although she could have avoided the empress with Yuwen Di's love, according to etiquette, she would pay respects to the empress as soon as she returned.
Unknowingly, Duan Yunfei had already been back to the palace for a few days, but she still hadn't paid respects to the empress yet. Duan Yingluo calculated that Duan Yunfei would pay respects to the empress in the next few days, and planned to let Xiao Ya do things at that time.
"Princess Eleven, Xiao Ya is stupid. I wonder what the princess needs Xiao Ya for."
At this time, Xiao Xi just happened to enter the Jade Temple.
"Xiao Xi, who is this flower?" Duan Liusu saw the flower pot in Xiao Xi's hand. Seeing that the flower pot was similar to the one in his hands, she thought of what Duan Yingluo had said earlier, and guessed that Duan Yingluo had asked someone to deliver the flower.
Xiao Xi thought that rather than waiting for Duan Liusu to realize that she had gone to find Duan Yingluo, it would be better for him to dispel Duan Liusu's doubts first.
"Reporting to Princess, this servant went to find Xiao Xi and met Sixth Princess who was walking in the imperial garden. Sixth Princess remembered that Princess was sad because of the withering of the flowers today, so he sent this servant to her to retrieve it."
"I'm really considerate." Duan Liusu didn't think that he would remember what he had casually said. He was deeply moved.
Xiao Xi heaved a sigh of relief. Indeed, it was as Duan Yingluo said, Duan Liusu believed in Duan Yingluo deeply.
"Since Xiao Xi is back, then Xiao Xi will tell you." Duan Liusu threw these words to Xiao Ya and went to the side to fiddle with her flowers.
"Xiao Ya, do you know that Thirteenth Princess will pay respects to the Empress in the next few days?" Xiao Xi did not directly tell Xiao Ya about their plan. Instead, he first asked Duan Yunfei when he would pay respects to the empress.
"Thirteenth Princess intends to pay respects to the Queen tomorrow and will even bring back the green plum wine that he brought back from Dark Dun." Xiao Ya didn't think that Duan Liusu would actually target the empress. Since it was better to play it that way, and whether Duan Yunfei planned to bring the green plum wine along, Xiao Ya didn't know, but Duan Liusu probably needed a medium that could frame Duan Yunfei, so she might as well provide Duan Liusu with one first.
Sure enough, Duan Liusu was just worrying about what to do next. Hearing Xiao Ya's words, Duan Liusu became a little excited.
Xiao Xi continued, "Since that's the case, then you must beg the Thirteenth Princess to bring you along tomorrow. However, don't appear to be too anxious, lest you get suspected by the Thirteenth Princess."
"Xiao Ya doesn't understand." Xiao Ya decided to play dumb so that Duan Liusu would not think that she would betray her.
"Since you've already said this much, why don't you still not understand?" Duan Liusu was a little anxious, "Since Duan Yunfei wants to bring the wine that she brought back from the Dark Dome to see the Queen, then why don't you just add some things into the wine."
Xiao Ya appeared very flustered and stammered, "But … But Thirteenth Princess has always brought Big Sister Xiao Yang with him. "
"Princess, Xiao Ya is right. Thirteenth Princess has always only brought Xiao Yang by his side, I don't think it's possible for him to have brought Xiao Ya."
"What's the big deal? Since you can't go with me, you should make a move tonight." We thought that since Duan Yunfei is going to offer the alcohol to the Queen, she might as well not drink it all down herself. At that time, Duan Yunfei will still be the one to bear the crime. Wasn't the Empress busy looking for a marriage for Duan Yunfei these past few days? Duan Yunfei didn't want to get married, so she drugged the wine and took her revenge. The empress definitely won't let Duan Yunfei off. "
Xiao Ya had never thought that Duan Liusu would be so vicious. Fortunately, Duan Liusu had come to find her to frame Thirteenth Princess this time, otherwise, Thirteenth Princess would definitely suffer.
"Xiao Ya understands. It is just that the crime of conspiring to murder the empress is a great one …"
"Who told you to put the empress to death? I've already prepared the medicine for you, it's just a laxative, at most it'll be painful for a while, it's not fatal, so you can rest assured. " Xiao Xi said as he took out the laxatives he had prepared beforehand.
"Alright then …"
Seeing Xiao Ya's flustered expression, Duan Liusu was afraid that Xiao Ya would not dare to take the medicine because she was timid, so she changed her tone to a more relaxed one, hoping that she could lessen the fear in Xiao Ya's heart.
"Xiao Ya, you don't have to worry. If something happens, I guarantee that Duan Yunfei won't suspect anything. You can rest assured."
Xiao Ya pretended to be relieved, and left after thanking Duan Liusu.
Xiao Ya did not sleep the whole night after they returned to the Red Luan Palace. She waited for Duan Yunfei to wake up outside Duan Yunfei's hall.
Early in the morning on the second day, just as Xiao Yang was about to call Duan Yunfei to get up and fix his makeup, he unexpectedly saw Xiao Ya, who had been waiting at the door all night.
"Xiao Ya, did you just sit here last night?"
"That's right, Sister Xiao Yang, I have something to report to the princess."
Xiao Yang was curious, just how important was it that Xiao Ya could stay in the cold winds for an entire night?
When Xiao Yang and Xiao Ya went in, Duan Yunfei was already awake. Seeing that it was not only Xiao Yang who came in, Duan Yunfei felt that it was a little strange.
"Princess, Xiao Ya said that she has something important to report to you." Xiao Yang even told Duan Yunfei about Xiao Ya waiting outside the door the whole night.
"Now the weather is getting cold and the night wind is blowing hard, why are you waiting at the door all night? If it's an emergency, just wake me up. Now, tell me what's the matter. I still have to pay respects to the empress later. "
Xiao Ya hurriedly talked about Duan Liusu's attempt to frame Duan Yunfei, wishing that she could say everything in one breath.
"Princess, this servant just wants to say hello to the empress." Last night, Princess Eleven sent Xiao Xi to bring this servant to Yu Shu City. I hope this servant can help Princess Eleven frame you today. "
"Oh? How does she want to frame me? " Duan Yunfei was interested. After all, Duan Liusu had made up her mind this time.
"When Princess Eleven talked about this matter, I still didn't know how to make a move, so I lied and said that you would be bringing along the green plum wine today, so Princess Eleven told me to put medicine in the wine."
Duan Yunfei praised Xiao Ya's tact, "You did very well in this matter, but since it is such a rare chance for Duan Liusu to think of such a method, let's do as she says. "She's definitely certain that I won't be drinking this green plum wine at the empress's place, right? Today, I'll have to taste the wine with the empress."
Duan Liusu had never thought that she would be defeated by Xiao Ya's loyalty to Duan Yunfei.
