My stepmother is here, all the rebellious sons and evildoers should kneel down!

"Who is your master? He is just a eunuch in charge of the Cining Palace. How dare he take you to do a lucrative job without permission and replace you with someone else to deliver meals to me?"

Wen Qiqi pretended to be very angry and yelled at the eunuch in front of him: "Food is a big deal. What if the person who replaced me is unreliable and poisoned my food? What should I do?"

When the young eunuch heard this, he immediately frowned.

He had just entered the palace and didn't know who Wen Qiqi, who was imprisoned in the Cining Palace, was. She was neither a favored concubine of the emperor, nor a distinguished royal princess, nor even a guest of the empress dowager.

The master simply changed someone to deliver meals to her, but she got so angry that she even said the food was poisoned!

“So hard to please!”

The young eunuch grumbled in dissatisfaction.

Wen Qiqi looked at him and pretended to be even angrier: "What did you say? How dare you scold me?"

The young eunuch was of low status and did not dare to offend anyone, thinking that if he could not afford to offend anyone, he could afford to avoid them.

"Forget it, I didn't scold you!" He refused to admit it. Anyway, there were only Wen Qiqi and him in the room. If he didn't admit it, Wen Qiqi would be accused of slandering him.

"My master is still waiting for me to go back. I'll take the dishes and chopsticks. Don't be angry, young lady. I'm just a servant. I have no grudge against you, so I don't want to harm you."

After the young eunuch finished speaking, he began to collect all the food on the table.

Wen Qiqi said, "Put it down."

The young eunuch was stunned: "Could it be that it has been placed here all the time?"

"The food tastes pretty good, let's leave it here for now. I like it very much and I'm going to have a few drinks later!" After Wen Qiqi finished speaking, the little eunuch couldn't help but look disdainful on his face.

Just now he said he was afraid of poisoning, but now he said he wanted to continue eating later...

It is really vulgar and ridiculous, and cannot be compared with the masters in the palace.

"Then I'll go back first. Miss, when you have eaten and drunk well, I'll come back to collect it." The little eunuch pouted and was about to go out.

Wen Qiqi looked at him coldly. He had just taken a few steps when he was hit hard in the palm. He then turned around with difficulty and rolled his eyes at Wen Qiqi in disbelief.

It was just a matter of changing someone to deliver food to this girl, but he actually killed her to silence her. Is there any law in this world? Is there any reason in this world?

woo woo woo...

The young eunuch felt so aggrieved that his eyes went dark and he instantly fell at Wen Qiqi's feet.

Wen Qiqi smiled slightly and said, "If I don't save you today, you will be the one to bear the blame for poisoning me."

This little eunuch was born thin and was about the same height as Wen Qiqi.

Wen Qiqi took out her own clothes for him to change into, and helped him sit down at the table. The little eunuch lay on the table. Wen Qiqi took out a Suzhou long scarf to cover his head, and put the wine cup into his hand.

She entered the palace in a hurry that day and did not bring any change of clothes. Later, she asked her sisters to pack her clothes and have someone deliver them to the palace.

She changed the little eunuch into her own pink and white dress, which Wen Qiqi had worn when she was in Lu's mansion. Later, when she went to Dongcheng, the dress remained in Lu's mansion.

She went to Dongcheng, and her sisters tidied her room and clothes neatly and cleanly.

After all the preparation, I realized that I had drunk too much, and it was cold in late autumn, so I wanted to feel comfortable, so I covered my head and fell asleep...

About half an hour later, Wen Qiqi heard hurried footsteps.

She quickly hid behind the bed curtains...

Sure enough, a familiar voice was heard outside, but this voice was indeed a bit sharper than Lu Xingcheng's previous voice.

"Let me take a look... I have a new apprentice these days. He has to do things by his own accord. I asked him to come and deliver food, but he was lazy and hasn't gone back yet. I have to ask Miss Qiqi if my apprentice has come to collect the dishes..."

The guards all knew that Lan Bao'er was a favorite in the palace. While they were trying to persuade him not to be angry, they explained that the Cining Palace had assigned guards to tend to the flowers and plants today, so they did not keep an eye on him.

Lan Baoer said, "It's not your fault. He has always been careless in his actions. I don't like him. If I didn't pity him for being an orphan away from home, I wouldn't have accepted him as my apprentice. I'll go in and take a look. If he's not here, he must have gone out to play secretly."

As he was talking, Lan Baoer had already walked in. He deliberately did not close the wooden door behind him, so that the guards at the door could testify that he had just walked in and did nothing...

"Where did you go? You didn't even come to collect the plates." He deliberately said loudly, and then, looking at "Wen Qiqi" who was lying on the table with a Suzhou long scarf covering her head, her eyes tightened, and the complex and nervous emotions were clearly revealed in his eyes.

hatred!

That is deep hatred!

There is absolutely no conscience or compassion!

Wen Qiqi saw Lu Xingcheng clearly at this moment. This was the adopted son who had grown up beside her and had called her mother all his life!

Even if Wen Qiqi exposed Lu Zhanyao and pointed out that he could not marry Qin Yu due to his hidden illness, what about the grace of raising and supporting him?

The corner of her mouth curled up in a sneer.

Very good, Lu Xingcheng, in this life you are even more cruel, vicious and calculating than in your previous life.

In my previous life, you used the present to drive me crazy and send me to death.

In this life, I failed to fulfill your Lu family's wish of exposing your father's crimes and revealing your hidden illness, so you drugged me and wanted me to die unclearly.

Wen Qiqi watched Lu Xingcheng approach the little eunuch little by little. In just a few seconds, the expression on his face changed from nervous to ferocious, and then gradually began to be proud and cheerful...

Suddenly, he shouted, "Oh no, the food is poisonous. Someone come quickly, the food has been tampered with! The daughter of the Wen family has been poisoned in our Cining Palace!"

He did not lift up the Suzhou long scarf that day so that the guards could see everything with their own eyes.

The guard rushed in, and he analyzed impatiently: "No wonder my apprentice didn't go back to report. It turns out that he poisoned the daughter of the Wen family. I'm afraid he has escaped by now."

He had already sent people out to look for the little eunuch, and once they found him, they would never leave him alive.

When the time comes, he will tell the Queen Mother that in order to prevent the scandal of Wen Qiqi being poisoned to death in the palace from being made public, he will kill the criminal for her.

Then, he reminded the Empress Dowager that this incident happened in the Cining Palace, and even if she had a hundred mouths, she could not explain it clearly. It would be better to secretly dispose of Wen Qiqi's body and say that she was infected with an epidemic. In order not to infect the royal heirs, she should be cremated directly.

As for the reason why the young eunuch poisoned, Lu Xingcheng had already figured it out perfectly.

"He must have overheard the conversation between the Queen Mother and me, and thought that getting rid of Wen Qiqi secretly would relieve the Queen Mother's worries. He is really a fool, and he must not be allowed to stay. Otherwise, if this matter gets out, the Wen family will not give up, and the Queen Mother's reputation as a virtuous person will be damaged."
