C47

That night, because he was extremely tired, Qin Nuo slept soundly. With a blanket added on, he did not feel cold nor did he think too much. However, when he woke up, he still felt a bit dizzy.

"I wasn't scared!" Ming Liu replied with a smile. In the past, she was afraid of making trouble in the courtyard, but now that the Empress was here, she wasn't afraid at all!

"What's wrong?" Ming Liu was a little confused.

The expression on Peaches' face changed slightly.

"Does the Empress mean that someone has tampered with the food?"

"What?" Ming Liu shouted. Without Qin Nuo's orders, she quickly opened the food box and took out a silver hairpin. She washed the hair with a teacup and carefully placed it inside the porridge, observing for a while. "Empress, the hairpin has not turned black. It should not be poisonous!"

Qin Nuo shook her head helplessly. Even if the poison was effective, it would only kill Arsenic and the Crane Head Red at once. This kind of colorless, tasteless and chronic poison, it would be weird if it could be tested!

"Ming Liu, it's better not to use it!" "Peaches is not as optimistic as Ming Liu." If it were not for Mother Wei and Mother Liu, I would not have realized that the eyes of the Empress would have turned slightly green! "

Ming Liu looked at Qin Nuo in a daze and then at the peaches. She was obviously frightened by the solemness on Qin Nuo's face and the words of the peaches.

"You mean, we …" Are we all poisoned? " "Ming Liu, who had always been clever with her words, unconsciously stuttered. That... The person who poisoned the poison, could it be … "

"If it wasn't for those two mothers, it wouldn't be the prince either!" Qin Nuo answered confidently. If he wants me to die, he doesn't have to. Moreover, there's no need to implicate the two of you! "

"Then …" Bi Tao looked at Qin Nuo hesitantly. Do you want to... Let the prince know? "

"Of course!" Qin Nuo immediately said, and looked at the two girls. However, she had to wait one day. It looks like the three of us will have to starve for a whole day! "

After Qin Nuo finished speaking, she really did not want to regret it again. When she came, she did not bring any compressed biscuits or instant noodles, but instead brought so much gold and silver. At the moment, it seemed like there was really no use. She could not leave the Qinxin and there was nothing she could spend.

"Empress, Your Highness does not allow you to step foot out of the Qinxin. How can I let him know?" Jade Peaches was a bit worried and a bit scared.

To tell the truth, although the Qin Residence was a rich family, and Aunt Li was sometimes pampered and proud, she did not have any intentions of harming them. This was the first time she had experienced such a thing. Not only that, there was actually someone who wanted to secretly harm the Empress. Just thinking about it was enough to make her terrified.

Ming Liu was also shocked. Even though she had seen and heard some things in the palace, she had yet to experience it personally before she followed the prince to the palace. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen to him?

Even though he was afraid, Ming Liu was more lively.

"The Prince has not sent anyone to guard Qinxin. Why can't we go out? Even if we don't eat, we won't starve. I'll go to the kitchen quietly later and ask for more from the two mothers. Mother Wei is in charge of the kitchen, she's only quietly not letting anyone know, so it's nothing much! "

"You don't have to sneak out to let people know that you have angered the Prince again. Right now, I am unable to protect myself, but I am unable to do so. " Qin Nuo laughed. When the two mothers come back to deliver food, you tell them that we need to make our own food and ask them to bring some rice and vegetables over in the evening, while it's still dark. The prince has ordered them to bring the food in as a matter of course, so that they don't have to make things difficult for them, and don't let anyone else know that they will find a way. "I have some crushed silver here. Give it to them as thanks for taking the risk to help us."

"The Empress is right!" "Yes, sir!" Right now, the Prince is extremely angry. Although no one has been sent to guard this place, others will see that if word of this matter spreads to the Prince, it will bring about another disaster. "

Hearing Qin Nuo and the peaches making sense, Ming Liu did not object and picked up the food in the box, gritting her teeth in hatred.

"Who knows which black-hearted thing did this to us! "Esteemed Empress, should we keep the things inside and have the Prince send someone to inspect them?"

"Put it in a cool place. Otherwise, it'll break by itself before we check!" Qin Nuo said lightly. This morning, we'll drink some water.

"At a time like this, the Empress can still joke." Peaches sighed.

"Otherwise! In any case, crying and laughing can't change the result, so it's better to just laugh. " Qin Nuo laughed and stood up. I'm going to lie down in the house for a while. The two of you, put that thing away and rest. Don't be too tired. "

Qin Nuo laughed, and then sighed softly. Ming Liu's words were reasonable, but once a person's personality was formed, it was hard to change. For example, Ling Yexuan, it would not be easy for him to not suspect anything!

Bi Tao and Ming Liu returned from the outside. Seeing that Qin Nuo had laid down on her bed, they did not disturb her and went to sit outside.

Ming Liu was unable to hide the matter in her heart, so she began to discuss with Bi Tao who it was that wanted to harm the Empress. The two girls both felt that concubine had the most suspicious points. After all, the Empress, this Chief Consort, did not obstruct anyone else, but really obstructed the matters of the concubine!

"I don't know what other plans the Empress has in mind besides cooking for herself." Bi Tao was still a little worried. Since they were unable to leave the Qinxin and only Ming Liu and her were accompanying the Empress, it would be difficult for them to do anything.

"Humph!" That concubine was probably dissatisfied with the Empress from the very beginning and had prepared it long ago! " Ming Liu said angrily, her thoughts and Bi Tao were not on the same path.

"What is it? Have you prepared it already?" A tender voice came over, just as he finished speaking, he saw Old Fifteen Ling Lu Li walk in with steady little steps.

Seeing Old Fifteen, Ming Liu and Peaches were pleasantly surprised. The Empress had already been rushed to the Qinxin for several days. They all thought that the Prince would not allow the Eighth and Fifteenth Princes to visit the Empress!

"Fifteenth Prince!" The two of them stood up and greeted Old Fifteen. Ming Liu even looked behind and did not see Old Eighth. Although she was gloomy, she did not dare to ask.

"Rise!" "Old Fifteen did not look at Ming Liu and Peaches, but instead walked straight inside, and once she walked, he even called out Qin Nuo. Her tone of voice was no longer as haughty as before towards Ming Liu and Peaches, and had become exceptionally lively. third Sister-in-Law! third Sister-in-Law! "

Even though Qin Nuo was lying down, she wasn't asleep at all. Hearing Old Fifteen's shout, she was slightly startled, but when she thought about the trust and indulgence Ling Yexuan had for his two younger brothers, it wasn't strange for Old Eight and Old Fifteen to come and see her.

When Old Fifteen ran over to her, Qin Nuo smiled and reached out her hand.

"Lu Li, how come you're alone? "Where's your eighth brother?"

"third Sister-in-Law, what's wrong? Was he sick? Why does your face look so bad? " Old Fifteen did not answer Qin Nuo's question as she asked a bunch of questions.

"I'm fine!" Qin Nuo said as he reached out his hand to pinch Old Fifteen's little cheek. Are you cold because you wear so little? "

"Not cold." "Ol 'Fifteen answered as he stared at Qin Nuo with her big eyes. third Sister-in-Law, Third Brother said that we are not allowed to see you. I came here secretly while Third Brother was talking to Eighth Brother! No, I have to tell Third Brother that third Sister-in-Law is sick, and ask him to get a doctor for third Sister-in-Law. "

As he spoke, Old Fifteen turned around and was about to leave.

"What is it?" When Old Fifteen heard Qin Nuo asking him to do something, she immediately turned around and looked at Qin Nuo expectantly.

"I just don't know if you're brave enough." Qin Nuo thought for a while, but did not say anything, he revealed a cautious look, as though he was worried about something. Only being bold wasn't enough, he still had to be careful. Otherwise, I'm not at ease to ask for your help! "It's better to invite your eighth brother!"

"third Sister-in-Law!" Eighth Brother immediately grabbed Qin Nuo's hand and shook it, half of it was acting coquettishly, and the other half was making sure. I'll definitely do it well, don't worry! Tell me quickly, what is it? "

"Good!" I'll believe you once. " Qin Nuo smiled as she looked at Old Fifteen. "But you have to promise not to let your third brother and your eighth brother know before this is successful."

"Alright!" Old Fifteen nodded heavily.

Qin Nuo whispered a few words into Old Fifteen's ears. Old Fifteen nodded at first, but then her eyebrows knitted together. When Qin Nuo finished speaking, his distinct black and white eyes stared at Qin Nuo in confusion and worry.

"third Sister-in-Law, were you poisoned?"

Qin Nuo really wanted to keep it a secret from Old Fifteen, she said no in a relaxed manner. However, with Old Fifteen's intelligence, she definitely wouldn't believe it.

"Just know it yourself, don't tell anyone else. When I need you to tell me, will you? "

Old Fifteen nodded his head heavily and did not say a word. He only rubbed his head against Qin Nuo's arm for a long time before raising it again.

"third Sister-in-Law, I'll be going first. I'll be back soon."

With that, he turned and ran out without waiting for Qin Nuo to speak. Just as he walked to the door, he saw Peaches carrying tea in. He stopped for a second and changed from jogging to walking slowly, his expression becoming reserved.

Qin Nuo could not help but snicker. This Old Fifteen! She was clearly still a child, but she liked to pretend that she was mature.
