But at this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the study.
Qin Zheng once again hides his cultivation and pretends to be sick.
Two people walked into the room.
One of them was Zhao Gao, who had just returned, and the other was a delicate and pretty maidservant.
Qin Zheng's gaze descends onto the little servant girl, sweeping out her information.
[Name: Xiao Cui]
[Age: 16]
[Identity: Young Master Qin Zheng's subordinate, servant girl]
[Cultivation Realm: Seventh level of Body Refinement]
[Loyalty: -31]
"Eh? Xiao Cui's loyalty was actually negative!”
"Humph! It seemed that this Xiao Cui was not a good person. Did she have something to do with the laxative?”
"Right, according to the original owner's memory, this Xiao Cui was personally appointed by the Queen to him. Could it be that the person behind the scenes is the Queen?”
"But why does the queen want to deal with me? Although the queen was not the original owner's mother, the original owner's performance was very mediocre and did not pose any threat to the queen. This was somewhat puzzling.”
Thinking up to here, Qin Zheng's expression didn't change as he calmly looked at the two.
"Eunuch Zhao, why did you return?”
"Young Master, Miss Xiao Cui said that the medicine has been boiled and sent to your bedroom, but Young Master is nowhere to be found. This servant brought her here."
Xiao Cui pretended to be concerned." Young Master, it's time to go back and drink your medicine. Let this servant help you back to the bedroom and serve you to drink your medicine!"”
"Oh? You still want to drink medicine?"
Qin Zheng looks at Little Cui with a smile that is not a smile.
"Young Master, you haven't recovered yet. This medicine must not be cut off. If Young Master is unwilling to return to the bedroom, this servant will bring it to the study.”
"No need! Send this medicine to the meeting hall. I'll drink it later.”
"This servant will obey!"
Seeing Qin Zheng agree to drink the medicine, Little Cui secretly lets out a sigh of relief in her heart.
Qin Zheng silently takes all of this into his eyes, pretending not to know.
"Young Master, the martial arts competition is in three days. How much of your strength have you recovered?”
Xiao Cui probed again, as if she was very concerned about how much strength Qin Zheng was holding back.
Qin Zheng pretended to be depressed and sighed. My strength has been greatly reduced. It would be good enough if he could display half of his strength in three days.”
Hearing this, Xiao Cui's eyes lit up.
She was secretly delighted, The laxatives I gave him these few days are indeed effective. This guy really only has half of his strength left. If the Queen knew about this, she would definitely reward me!”
Thinking of this, Xiao Cui felt even more proud.
Qin Zheng silently takes in all of this. His expression remains unchanged, but he is sneering in his heart.
He was now very sure that the person who had given him the laxative was Xiao Cui.
"Haha! If this was really Xiao Cui's doing, this woman was really audacious! She must have been instigated by the queen to have such courage. Otherwise, she would not have such courage.”
"Now, in the Imperial Court, the Queen and Lu Buwei are at loggerheads. As long as I don't die, the Queen can keep this a secret.”
"Humph! No matter how powerful Xiao Cui is, I will not let you off today. Not only do I want you to make a fool of yourself in public, but I also want you to admit your crimes and die willingly!”
Thinking of this, Qin Zheng looks at Zhao Gao: "Eunuch Zhao, how many subordinates do I have now?”
"Young Master, guards, palace maids, eunuchs, and handymen, there are a total of twenty-seven people.”
"Good! Gather all these people in the meeting hall. I'll be there soon.”
"This servant obeys!"
Zhao Gao bowed deeply and left.
He doesn't know what Qin Zheng wants to do, but he doesn't dare to ask.
After Zhao Gao left, Xiao Cui couldn't help but ask,""Young Master, why did you ask Eunuch Zhao to gather everyone?”
Qin Zheng doesn't reply. Instead, he stands up with a smile and walks to Xiao Cui's side.
He lifted Xiao Cui's minibus with one hand and pretended to be affectionate."Xiao Cui, you are my servant girl and the person I trust the most.”
" Uh…" Xiao Cui was stunned.
All along, Qin Zheng had always been lukewarm towards her. Why was he acting a little abnormal today?
"Young Master, I…"
"Shh! Don't talk! I want to tell you a secret. Actually, I've already recovered. Look!”
Qin Zheng's deathly pale face has disappeared, replaced by a radiant appearance.
He was no longer as sickly as before.
"How…how is this possible?"
Xiao Cui was stunned, and her expression was a little flustered.
"Xiao Cui, are you surprised? I'll tell you another secret. This time, not only have I recovered from my illness, but my strength has also increased.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Zheng's aura starts to soar.
In the blink of an eye, Qin Zheng's cultivation rose from the original Third Level Essence Qi Realm to the peak of the Third Level.
"This…this…"
Xiao Cui's eyes were filled with disbelief.
"Heavens! What was going on? Didn't this guy take laxatives and his strength was greatly reduced? Why was he completely fine? Moreover, his strength had increased greatly!”
Xiao Cui felt like she was about to collapse.
"Little Cui, are you surprised? I will only tell you this secret. Just watch the martial arts competition in three days!”
"This Young Master will definitely get a good ranking this time and blind their dog eyes! Haha!"
Hearing this, Xiao Cui felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar and cried out in her heart.
It was over! It was over! This time, it was completely over! Am I going to fail this mission?
No! If this mission fails, the Queen will definitely not let me off.
"Xiao Cui, you saw it too. This Young Master has already recovered, so you don't need to drink those medicines.”
Hearing this, Xiao Cui panicked. Your body has just recovered, and your illness hasn't gone away. We can't stop taking those medicines!"
"I'm already sick of drinking those medicinal soups. I don't want to drink them anymore." Besides, this Young Master has also recovered! Why do you still want to drink?"
"Young Master, if you don't clean up the root of this illness, it will relapse. Besides, didn't you want to hide the secret of your body's recovery? If Young Master kept drinking the medicine, no one would know about this secret. On the contrary, if you suddenly stop drinking, others will suspect you.”
"Yes! What you said makes sense. How about this, I'll drink this one last time. Go and deliver the medicine to the meeting hall now. I'll drink it in front of all the servants and let them know that I haven't fully recovered.”
"Young Master is wise!"
"You can go! I'll be there in a while!"
"This servant will obey!"
………
Only after Little Cui left did Qin Zheng's expression return to its original state.
"This woman will probably take the bait!”
Qin Zheng's gaze is deep as he looks outside the window. The corners of his mouth reveal a playful smile.
