Chapter 185 Drugging
"Mammy, that's right. He said he was just writing me a letter and that he was seriously ill. Isn't that just to get me to give him money? Pah!"
Ji Yunqing cursed angrily and spat at the man fiercely.
Aunt An: “…”
Other maids: "..."
Since the master said yes, then so be it!
Nanny An looked at Ji Yunqing and said, "Master, this letter...will I take care of it?"
Ji Yunqing nodded and was about to agree, but then he thought of something and changed his words: "No, leave this letter first, I want to see if that person has any follow-up.
Let’s play the long game and catch the big fish!”
She put the letter paper back herself and gave it to Nanny An.
"Mammy, please go and put the letter in the study yourself. Find a hidden place so that no one can find it," Ji Yunqing said meaningfully.
Nanny An immediately understood.
Knowing that she understood what he meant, Ji Yunqing thought about it and reminded her worriedly: "The prince may go to the study sometimes, so you should avoid it when you put it there. Don't put it in the pile of books that the prince often reads."
"Yes, Master, don't worry."
Nanny An went out with the envelope.
Ji Yunqing lowered her eyes to look at the little guy with half-closed eyes. The soft little ball was leaning against her. It seemed that it was very sleepy, but it refused to sleep.
I simply picked up the little guy and said, "Can't sleep? Come on, let mommy take you for a walk."
The little guy was suddenly picked up by his mother. He was so surprised that he hugged his mother's neck with his chubby face and tried to move closer to her.
Ji Yunqing was horrified and tried to hide quickly, but it was too late. The little guy's wet saliva was imprinted on his mother's face, and he smiled happily.
"Ah, this guy is drooling again"
Ji Yunqing smiled and sighed.
Xuancao smiled and said, "This is because the young master likes you. The young master has few relatives."
As she spoke, she picked up the handkerchief and gently wiped her master clean.
Ji Yunqing didn't believe it: "You rarely kiss him? You really know how to flatter him!"
This kid must be like King Zhao, kissing whoever he meets and having a very unruly personality.
Although she said she was coaxing the child, Ji Yunqing actually carried the child around several rooms they often visited. Only after she saw with her own eyes that there was nothing extra or missing did she feel relieved.
However, she also instructed the servants to move a few things.
After moving the things, Ji Yunqing turned his attention to the incense burner next to him.
"I remember this thing has been here for a long time, right? I'm tired of it, change it to something else."
"Yes"
The little maid following behind him stepped forward and replaced the incense burner skillfully.
In fact, Ji Yunqing has never used this thing, he just put it out there just for the sake of appearance.
Anyway, we have quite a lot of these things. Wouldn't it be a loss if we don't put them out to show off?
"Eh? Master, why is it different here?"
Hearing the sound, Ji Yunqing and others looked over and saw that the little maid had just opened the lid of the aromatherapy burner.
"what's wrong?"
Ji Yunqing took a look inside and found nothing wrong.
The little maid was responsible for cleaning these rooms every day, so naturally she had to wipe the incense burner clean every day.
Because she was familiar with it, she pointed to the inside of the stove and explained it to everyone bit by bit: "Master, this stove has never been used. It is always smooth inside. I remember it clearly, but it is different now."
When everyone looked over, they found that the top layer was indeed uneven, as if it had been messed up by something.
Everyone had only one thought in their mind: someone had mixed something in here!
Ji Yunqing gently squeezed the little guy's chubby hand in his arms, and simply waved his hand: "Don't want the things in here, just empty the vegetable garden!"
The maid obeyed: "Yes"
When she took a few steps, Ji Yunqing added with concern: "Wait, just pour this into the chive field!"
Anyway, the leeks were prepared for King Zhao. It wasn't a waste if the leeks were given to him as a dish after being drugged by his woman.
This incident served as a reminder to everyone.
Without Ji Yunqing's instructions, everyone went around to check carefully again.
Under the table, under the stool, on the top of the treasure pavilion, and even the cracks in the windows were opened one by one, for fear that something would leak out.
Fortunately, no other "unnecessary" things were found.
After a while, Nanny An also heard what happened here, and she broke out in a cold sweat.
Fortunately, the master doesn't like to make these things, always saying that the smell is too strong and makes people dizzy. She used to think that the master, a wild boar, couldn't eat fine bran, and the master actually didn't like such expensive spices.
This is not in line with the habits of a noble lady, especially since other women in the palace all like to burn some kind of incense, especially the scent that the prince likes.
Nanny An once advised the master that at most he could light some incense in advance when the prince came. Even if Concubine Ji didn't like it, what if the prince did like it?
At that time, Master Ji always said in a rebellious manner: "Do I have to make it for him just because he likes it? I am the one who lives in this yard for a long time, and I should do it according to my needs! I don't like this smell."
But now, she was just glad that her master had no habit of burning incense, otherwise she would have been infected at any time.
"Master, are you okay? Are you dizzy? Nauseous? Uncomfortable?"
Ji Yunqing shook her head, her almond-shaped eyes full of Nanny An's reflection. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, Nanny, I'm fine. By the way, I just asked someone to dump the ashes into the chive field. Do you want to go and have a look?"
See if you can figure out anything?
She was a little annoyed when she said this, and even her eyebrows drooped a little: "I forgot to ask the nanny to take a look first."
Nanny An immediately said: "It won't be too late for me to go and see it now."
She quickly took a handkerchief and gently pinched out a small handful of chives from the chive field, then put it under her nose and sniffed it.
After a while, he said with an unpleasant expression: "Master, this is mixed with acacia incense, which is extremely potent."
"Hehuanxiang?"
As soon as you hear the name, you know what it is used for.
Who would give her this medicine for no reason?
It’s not like she doesn’t have a man as an antidote.
Wait, man?
A flash of inspiration came to Ji Yunqing's mind, and she vaguely understood the other party's thoughts.
If she was caught giving King Zhao this kind of drug, she would definitely be in trouble. King Zhao might even suspect whether she had done this kind of thing before.
This time we used this kind of medicine, what if we use poison directly next time?
This guy just wants to kill her!
Ji Yunqing was so angry that he laughed.
Okay, okay, it turns out that coming here for King Zhao was just a cover, and you are all here for me, right?
Nanny An said thankfully, "Fortunately, my master, you are blessed by heaven. You discovered this matter by accident. This is God's blessing!"
Ji Yunqing glanced at her and raised his head: "Of course God will bless me!"
She thought to herself that it was fortunate that she was cautious and diligent by nature and knew to come out and investigate.
