The princess was fed contraceptive soup on the day of the marriage exchange, and she went crazy

There was no trace of fear on Sheng Nanzhi's face. Instead, she raised her lips and smiled at Shi Huaizhi.

"After I discovered that the two bowls of contraceptive soup were poisonous, I guessed that it must have been my stepmother's doing. I deliberately rushed out when the poison took effect and caused trouble with Your Highness's men."

"I didn't know what the poison was at the time. I did this simply to save my own life."

"At the same time, I also want Your Highness to see what kind of person my legitimate mother is."

"Her daughter hasn't even married His Highness yet, yet she's already framing His Highness and meddling in His Highness's affairs. Once His Highness marries Sheng Yunrou, I'm afraid she'll even extend her hand into His Highness's backyard."

Sheng Nanzhi curled her lips and said, "After all, my stepmother has always been proud of Sheng Yunrou being the Phoenix Master of Heaven, and she firmly believes that her daughter will become the queen, or even the queen mother."

Shi Huaizhi released her hand, but still looked at her steadily: "I will arrange for someone to take you to the nunnery tomorrow."

"Don't play any tricks. State your demands clearly now."

Sheng Nanzhi rolled her eyes and said, "I do have something to ask of His Highness the Sixth Prince."

"There are two things in total. The first one is about the maid who was found to have poisoned Li Yueru. She was Li Yueru's personal maid and knew many of her secrets."

"She was pushed out as a scapegoat by Li Yueru today and was beaten with a stick. Li Yueru will definitely think that the maid has a grudge against her and will not let her stay. I want His Highness to send someone to keep an eye on her. If Li Yueru wants to kill her, His Highness can send someone to save her at the last moment."

"Secondly, my aunt and third sister went to the Fahua Temple to burn incense. But I just thought about it carefully and I feel that their going out to burn incense today is a trick by the mastermind behind the plot to lure the tiger away from the mountain. I am worried that something has happened to them. Your Highness, please send someone to look for them. If they are okay, just protect them in secret."

Shi Huaizhi almost laughed out of anger: "I asked you to make a request, and you really dared to do so."

"I can help you, but Sheng Nanzhi, you have to remember that if you order me around, I'll ask for a high reward."

Shi Huaizhi walked away in a huff. Sheng Nanzhi then let out a long sigh. She didn't want to order Shi Huaizhi around. She had heard of Shi Huaizhi's reputation as a cold-blooded, ruthless, and vindictive person.

But she had just been reborn, and now Shi Huaizhi's people and the Sheng family must be keeping a close eye on her. She couldn't act rashly and could only ask Shi Huaizhi for help.

As for the reward...

Sheng Nanzhi pursed her lips. She only had this one person around her now. If Shi Huaizhi wanted a reward, she would have to have talent.

As night fell, there was a knock on the bathroom window.

Sheng Nanzhi took the dagger and opened the window. A man in black clothes stood outside the window: "Miss Sheng, my name is Yuanbao, and I am the secret guard of His Highness the Sixth Prince."

The man quickly produced a token and said, "Your Highness has ordered me to keep an eye on the maid who drugged the young lady this afternoon. The Prime Minister's wife has just arrived."

This name...

Sheng Nanzhi looked a little strange. He put away his dagger and climbed out the window. "Take me there."

Yuan Bao brought Sheng Nanzhi to a window, and soon a voice crying and begging for mercy could be heard from the room: "Madam, no! Please, for the sake of my wholehearted service to you for so many years, please let me go."

Li Yueru laughed: "Let go? Just like you said, you've been with me for too long."

"So long that you almost know all my secrets."

"I'm scared."

"You were working for me, but I still ordered you to be spanked."

"How do I know if you'll harbor resentment towards me because of this? What if you turn against me..."

"You know me well. I absolutely cannot leave myself in such a big trouble."

"No, madam, I won't do that." Mo Tao hurriedly denied and begged for mercy, but Li Yueru remained unmoved.

"Tie him up, gag him, and set him on fire."

"She burned herself to death out of fear of punishment."

The fire quickly started.

Li Yueru frowned slightly, covered her nose and left with her people.

Yuan Bao lowered his voice: "Miss Sheng? Save someone?"

Sheng Nanzhi shook her head: "Wait a little longer."

They can't go too early.

Mo Tao must be taught a painful lesson, so that she truly hates Li Yueru, and only then can she be used by her.

The fire grew bigger and bigger, the bed curtains were already on fire, and gradually spread to the roof.

Mo Tao was tied to the ground, the hem of her skirt was on fire, and her skin was burned by the fire. She seemed to be in great pain, and her face was distorted by pain, but her body was tied and her mouth was blocked, so she could only roll on the ground continuously, trying to put out the fire.

But the ground was covered with tung oil that had flowed out of the oil lamp. The fire on her body could not be extinguished, but instead grew bigger and bigger, quickly spreading to her upper body. Her hair was on fire, her face was burned, and she seemed to have fainted from the smoke and was motionless.

"go."

Yuanbao was already prepared. Sheng Nanzhi only said one word, and Yuanbao quickly broke through the window, flipped in, picked up the quilt on the bed that had not yet burned, and wrapped Mo Tao completely. He rushed out again, threw her to the ground, rolled her several times, and then picked up the soil on the ground and covered Mo Tao with it.

The fire is out.

Sheng Nanzhi asked Yuanbao to take the maid to her backyard, and then soaked her in the bathtub.

After an unknown amount of time, the maid named Mo Tao finally woke up.

"It hurts, it hurts so much."

Sheng Nanzhi raised her eyelids and said, "There's nothing you can do about the pain. Just bear with it. Only if you can get through it, you can live."

Mo Tao then noticed the person standing in front of her: "Miss...Miss?"

Sheng Nanzhi responded, "I was locked up in the house by my stepmother, and I was really suffocating, so I climbed out the window and thought about going out for a walk. Who knew I would see a yard on fire?"

"The fire was truly enormous, but what's strange is that in such a huge Sheng Mansion, no one came to put out the fire."

"I took a look inside and found that there was still a person lying there, but there was no movement."

"I didn't recognize you at the time, but thinking it was a life after all, I broke in through the window and pulled you out."

Sheng Nanzhi stared intently at the man whose face was so burned that it was almost impossible to see his true features. "You must be the maid who put drugs in my contraceptive soup this afternoon, right? Did you set the fire yourself? Are you burning yourself out of fear of punishment?"

Hearing Sheng Nanzhi say this, Mo Tao suddenly became excited: "I didn't do that. I didn't set the fire! It was Madam. Madam wants to kill me!"

Sheng Nanzhi was waiting for her to say this: "Mother? Why did she want to kill you?"

Mo Tao gritted her teeth, but did not answer immediately, as if she was weighing something.

Sheng Nanzhi said to herself, "If Mother wants to kill you, then I'm afraid I can't save you. I have to send you back to Mother and let her deal with you. Otherwise, if you are discovered, it will implicate me."

Sheng Nanzhi turned around to leave, but Mo Tao grabbed her sleeve and said, "Miss, don't!"
