Quick Wear Dream Qiqi
Chapter 161: Demons and Monsters 5
"Miss Meng, why haven't you slept yet?" The maid guarding the door heard the noise in the house and asked softly.
Meng Qiqi was startled and quickly hid the note under her blanket. She turned to look at the maid at the door and said, pretending to be sleepy, "Hmm... I can't sleep."
The maid walked into the room and asked with concern, "Miss Meng, is there something on your mind? Why don't you tell me? Maybe it will make you feel better."
Meng Qiqi shook her head slightly: "I'm just a little bored, don't worry."
As she spoke, she looked at the maid inconspicuously.
The maid didn't seem to notice anything unusual. She turned around and walked to the table and poured a cup of hot tea for Meng Qiqi: "Miss Meng, have a cup of hot tea. Maybe it can help you sleep."
Meng Qiqi took the teacup and took a sip. "Thank you, it's so thoughtful."
After the maid left, Meng Qiqi took out the note again and continued to study the recipe on it.
The Zheng Palace seemed exceptionally quiet late at night, with almost no noise to be heard.
There was no one in the moonlight, only a gentle breeze blowing, perhaps bringing a little coolness.
Shangguan Qian came to Zheng Palace quietly with a lantern.
She wandered around the Zheng Palace, seemingly looking for something.
Her actions caught Gong Yuanzheng's attention. He quietly followed Shangguan Qian, observing her every move.
Shangguan Qian came to a secluded corner and stopped.
She took out a piece of paper and wrote something down.
Seeing this, Gong Yuanzheng became even more confused. He was about to step forward to ask, but saw Shangguan Qian put away the paper and turned away.
Gong Yuanzheng looked at the direction Shangguan Qian left, thoughtfully.
He thought Shangguan Qian's behavior was very strange. What was she planning?
Then, he suddenly appeared in front of Shangguan Qian, looking at her sharply: "What are you doing in the palace?"
Shangguan Qian smiled slightly: "I heard that you have a prescription for conditioning the body, I would like to borrow it to take a look."
Gong Yuanzheng sneered, "How can I borrow anything I have? What qualifications do you have?"
Shangguan Qian said calmly, "I know how strict the Zheng Palace is with prescriptions."
Gong Yuanzheng frowned slightly: "Tell me! What is your purpose?"
Shangguan Qian was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "This involves a secret about love between men and women, but I can't tell you now. But don't worry, I won't hurt Mr. Jiao."
Gong Yuanzheng stared at Shangguan Qian, pondering the truth in her words.
Finally, he decided to trust Shangguan Qian once: "Okay, I can lend you the prescription for conditioning your body, but you must return it by this time tomorrow."
Shangguan Qian smiled broadly: "Thank you, Master Zheng. I will definitely return it on time."
After saying that, she took the prescription and turned to leave.
Gong Yuanzheng looked at Shangguan Qian's departing back, thinking about something.
You stayed up late at night and ran to Zheng Palace just for a prescription?
Did she really come here just for the prescription?
Or is there another purpose?
Afterwards, Gong Yuanzheng came to Jiao Palace and told Gong Shangjiao about this matter.
"A bladeless assassin? Yuan Zheng, don't talk nonsense!" Gong Shangjiao said calmly, "What evidence do you have to prove that Shangguan Qian is the bladeless assassin?"
Gong Yuanzheng frowned and said, "I just saw her sneaking around in the Zheng Palace, and her behavior was quite strange."
"Also, her coming here in the middle of the night to ask for a prescription is really suspicious."
Gong Shangjiao shook his head: "This doesn't mean she is the Bladeless Assassin."
"Perhaps she truly has her own unspeakable difficulties. Besides, we don't have any solid evidence, so how can we easily draw conclusions?"
Gong Yuanzheng pondered for a moment and said, "Well, let's put this matter aside for now. But we still need to pay more attention to Shangguan Qian. I always feel that she is not that simple."
After saying that, Gong Yuanzheng turned and left.
Gong Shangjiao looked at his back and pondered in his heart.
What exactly does Shangguan Qian want to do?
Why did she ask for a prescription for health care?
Is there any conspiracy hidden in this?
It seems that everything will only be revealed slowly in the future.
On the other hand, after Shangguan Qian got the prescription, in order to avoid Gong Yuanzheng from continuing to suspect her, she left Zheng Palace directly and returned to her room in Jiao Palace.
After Shangguan Qian returned to the room, he immediately began to study the prescription.
She found that this prescription was indeed extremely exquisite and had great benefits for regulating the body.
The plan to capture Gong Shangjiao was one step closer.
Just then, there was a slight noise outside the door.
Shangguan Qian walked to the door vigilantly, looked through the crack, and saw a dark shadow flash by.
who is it?
Originally, she just wanted to find out where Meng Qiqi's room was tonight.
It was such a coincidence that he suddenly woke up at this time after being in a coma for more than half a month.
Meng Qiqi, who was staying safely in Zheng Palace, didn't know that Shangguan Qian was already suspecting that she was also a sharpshooter.
Gong Yuanzheng's room was brightly lit, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle as he examined every detail of the Baicaocui formula.
He noticed that the ink on the formula seemed to have been slightly wiped off, a mark he had left to check if anyone was peeping.
Gong Yuanzheng's brows were furrowed, his heart was in turmoil, but he remained calm on the surface.
His fingers gently ran across the formula, as if he could feel the warmth of that invisible hand, and the hand he first suspected was Meng Qiqi who was staying in Zheng Palace.
A sneer appeared on Gong Yuanzheng's lips, and he decided to verify his suspicion himself.
After Meng Qiqi finished studying the steps of the Baicaocu recipe, she waved her hand and a flame appeared out of thin air and burned the paper.
Hearing the noise outside, Meng Qiqi was startled. She quickly lay down on the bed and pretended to be asleep.
Soon, the door was gently pushed open and the maid walked quietly into the room.
Meng Qiqi's heart was beating fast with nervousness, but she still looked like she was sleeping.
The visitor stood by the bed for a while, then said softly, "Miss Meng, please forgive me for disturbing you. The Palace Master asked me to come and see if you had a good rest."
Hearing this, Meng Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that it was someone sent by Gong Yuanzheng.
She continued to pretend to be asleep and did not respond.
The maid observed for a while, and after making sure that Meng Qiqi was fine, she quietly left the room, closed the door and left.
Meng Qiqi opened her eyes only after the maid left. She decided to be more careful in the future.
At the same time, outside the room, the maid reported to Gong Yuanzheng: "Palace Master Zheng, Miss Meng has already fallen asleep."
After listening to the maid's report, Gong Yuanzheng looked up at the door with a gloomy look in his eyes.
Gong Yuanzheng was silent for a moment, then ordered, "Keep a close eye on Miss Meng's every move, and report anything unusual to me immediately."
Then he turned and left, secretly thinking about Meng Qiqi's true identity.
In the next few days, Meng Qiqi found that the atmosphere around her became increasingly tense, and the attitude of the maid who took care of her also subtly changed.
Knowing that Gong Yuanzheng might be suspicious of her, she could not take any further action and had to be more cautious in her words and actions to avoid revealing any flaws.
