Time travel is risky, and love requires caution

Chapter 78: Why did you enter the palace?

Liu continued to recall:

"I knew that there must be poison in the paper bag. Taking such a large amount of medicine at once would definitely lead to death. But I only had three days, so I had to take a risk. So I first put a small amount of poison in the snack for the Seventh Princess, and then lit a magic incense after she fell asleep. After confirming that the Seventh Princess was unconscious, I immediately asked someone to invite the imperial physician. The imperial physician indeed diagnosed that the Seventh Princess was poisoned. I deliberately asked someone to spread the news of the Seventh Princess's poisoning and coma in the palace, and then I found Aunt Wu and told her that after the Seventh Princess took the poison, she vomited most of it, but it was not fatal now. I asked her to release my family first, otherwise, I would kill her. The net is broken, and I have to go to the emperor to expose the matter. After I confirm the safety of my family, I can help them poison again, but you have to give me the new poison as soon as possible. I thought that when she gives me the poison, I can catch the person red-handed. But I didn’t expect that after I went back, the Seventh Princess’s condition was beyond my expectations. Such a small amount of poison actually hurt the Seventh Princess so seriously. Aunt Wu and the others were so vicious. If I had poisoned more, I’m afraid the Seventh Princess would have died. What’s even more difficult for me to accept is that the Seventh Princess was diagnosed with another strange poison by the Imperial Physician Du. I really I couldn’t figure out where the other poison came from. Was it a trick of Aunt Wu and the others, or was there someone else trying to harm the Seventh Princess? Later, the Seventh Princess was unconscious for several days in a row, and I was completely panicked. The drug I used could only make a person sleep for three days at most, and all the imperial doctors were helpless against the Seventh Princess’ illness. Aunt Wu never showed up again, and I had no news from my family. I guess Aunt Wu and the others must have felt that the commotion in the palace was too big, so they didn’t dare to take any more risks. Or maybe it was because of the second poison, and they thought there was someone else who was in the same boat, so they just sat back and reaped the benefits. Or maybe it was because They thought there was no hope for the Seventh Princess to survive, so they let her go. In short, I can no longer save my family, they must have been silenced, and Aunt Wu and the others must want to kill me, because I have been in the Bu Lao Pavilion, and the Bu Lao Pavilion has been tightly protected by the emperor, so they just can't do it for the time being. I think it must be because I was unkind to my family and unfaithful to my master, so God punished me and made me end up in such a life worse than death. So with the mentality of atonement, I put all my efforts into taking care of the Seventh Princess, hoping that the Seventh Princess can get better soon so that I can apologize in person.

At this point, Liu couldn't help but look up at the Seventh Princess, kowtowed to her three times, and then continued:

"After that, the Seventh Princess' health became worse and worse, and I almost despaired. But later, the Third Prince and the Little Princess of Nan Shen said that the Seventh Princess might have a chance of survival, so I had hope again. I accompanied the Seventh Princess all the way to Nan Shen Imperial Capital. Because I couldn't go up the mountain to seek medical treatment with her, I could only stay in the inn. Unexpectedly, someone approached me a few days later and sent me a message saying that my family members were still alive. If I wanted to save them, I had to tell them about the Seventh Princess's recent situation. I no longer believed in Aunt Wu and the others. How could they be so kind as to let my family members live? They must have been destroyed, so I made up my mind not to make the same mistake again and not to be threatened by them. But a few days later, I received a letter from the little imperial physician Du, saying that the Seventh Princess had... After my grief, I thought that the dead could not be resurrected, and my family members were nowhere to be found alive or dead, so I took the chance and sent the letter to The contact person, if the family is not dead, maybe this news can be used to exchange for the lives of the family members. But I didn’t wait for the news from my family, instead someone came to kill me to silence me. I was about to die, but I didn’t feel afraid. I had expected this end, and I was even glad that I could finally be free. But I didn’t expect someone to rescue me. Later, they asked me to take a pill. I was no longer afraid of life and death, so I ate it without asking, and I lost consciousness not long after. When I woke up, I found that I was locked up in the charity cemetery. I had no desire to live, but I failed several times, so I wanted to commit suicide, but I was found and tied up by the guards. Unexpectedly, someone came the day before yesterday and said that they would take me to see the Seventh Princess. I... I don’t know how happy I was, but I really didn’t have the face to see you. Seventh Princess, I’m sorry for you. It’s me who hurt you. I am willing to atone for my sin with my life.”

Liu finally finished speaking, and her tears finally burst out.

Ling Qiqi listened carefully for a long time, but could not find any flaws. She felt that there were only two possibilities, either it was true or it was made up. Ling Qiqi did not think that what Liu did was extremely evil, it was just human nature. Ordinary people would seek benefits and avoid harm, but Liu did not seek benefits, but avoided harm. She just wanted to save her family and took this desperate measure. If Liu said that her master would always be ranked first, she would think it was fake and too inhumane.

Ling Qiqi is a person of sentimental character. Although she is emotional and sometimes even a little too open, she will not easily let her emotions get the better of her. She planned to reserve her opinion on what Liu had just said, but there was one more thing she wanted to confirm, so she asked:

"Why did you enter the palace in the first place?"

Liu was stunned and hesitated to speak.

Seeing this, Ling Qiqi continued to ask:

"Are you from Wujin Country?"

Liu looked up at Ling Qiqi in surprise. Ling Qiqi said aggressively:

"Do you know my mother-in-law?"

Liu sighed, as if she had finally let go of all her burdens, and began to recount a deeper memory:

"My husband and I are both from Yahe. I was once a maid of the Princess of Yahe, and my husband was once one of the guards of Prince Jie of Yahe, the Princess's elder brother. Seeing that we were in love, we got married under the promotion of Prince Jie and Princess of Yahe. We lived a very happy life after marriage, and gave birth to our eldest son in the second year. However, the Yahe country was in trouble. Foreign enemies repeatedly invaded the border, burned, killed, and looted, and many families were destroyed. Prince Jie led the army to drive out the enemy, and my husband also followed the army to fight. In a battle, Prince Jie blocked an arrow for my husband, but unexpectedly, the arrow was After being poisoned, Prince Jie died. Before he died, he told my husband to protect Princess Wang for him. Prince Jie died saving my husband, and he could not forgive himself. If it were not for Prince Jie's request, and if he could not bear to let us become orphans and widows, I am afraid that he would have gone to the battlefield to die. Later, the Crow Kingdom was really unable to save itself, and Princess Wang decided to save the country by marrying. At that time, I was pregnant with my second child and was about to give birth, so Princess Wang asked my husband and I to stay in the Crow Kingdom and live a peaceful life. After the birth of our second son, we were really worried about Princess Wang, so we moved our family to the capital of Beiwei. At that time, Wang Ji had been named the Concubine. We managed to contact her using the secret code of the Crow He Kingdom. She sent someone to deliver a message to us, saying that the Northern Emperor treated her very well and told us not to worry about her. She also asked us to settle down in the capital, but she hoped that we would not reveal the identity of the Crow He Kingdom. She would try to send people to us regularly to learn about the situation in the Crow He Kingdom. My husband and I naturally followed Wang Ji's orders. Until the Crow He Kingdom was suddenly hit by a plague, we wanted to inform Wang Ji but lost normal contact with her. Even if the Northern Emperor was not the real culprit in the crisis of the Crow He Kingdom, he watched them die without helping. Wang Ji was completely disappointed with the Northern Emperor, and even though she was pregnant, she asked to be sent to the cold palace. When we found out, we were very anxious and tried every way to find out about Wang Ji's situation. Later, we heard that the palace was looking for a wet nurse. I had just given birth to my youngest son, so I wanted to go to the palace as a wet nurse to take care of Wang Ji. But although Wang Ji was about to give birth, there were two other concubines in the palace who had just given birth to princesses and both needed wet nurses, so we had to take a gamble. Fortunately, I really became the wet nurse of the seventh princess, but unfortunately, Wang Ji was still alone in the cold palace and eventually died there. "
