On the other side.
After leaving the study, Xiao Cui walked on the road in a daze.
"How did this happen? Why was that guy completely fine after drinking the medicine? Could it be that his body had developed a resistance to the drug?”
"Yes! It must be like this! I've heard that some powerful martial artists have extraordinary physiques and are immune to many poisons, let alone laxatives.”
"In that case, I'll have to increase the amount of laxatives. He said that he doesn't want to drink medicine anymore, so this is my last chance.”
"Looks like I have to be ruthless this time. After he drinks the medicine, I'll find an opportunity to escape.”
"So what if he finds out later? Three days later, he will be a commoner. What can he do to me?”
"If I don't do this, my mission will fail in three days. The queen will definitely not let me off! My end will only be worse!"
Thinking of this, Xiao Cui made a decision in her heart.
She turned back to look in the direction of the study, and a smug smile appeared on her face.
"This guy actually treats me as his most trusted person. What a joke!”
"However, it is fortunate that he told me these secrets. Otherwise, he would really be able to turn the tables three days later!”
Thinking of this, Xiao Cui rejoiced in her heart.
……
Fifteen minutes later.
In the meeting hall, Qin Zheng is sitting on a tall mahogany armchair, looking down.
There were four rows of people standing below.
There were eunuchs, palace maids, servants, and guards.
Qin Zheng silently sized up the servants.
The servants were also quietly sizing him up. From time to time, there were whispers in the crowd.
"Old Wang, why did Young Master call all of us here?”
"I don't know! Look at the young master's pale face and unstable breathing. It seems that he has not recovered from his illness.”
……
At this moment, Zhao Gao walked up and said respectfully,""Young Master, everyone is here!"
"Yes!" Qin Zheng slightly nods his head, his gaze landing on Little Cui.“
"Little Cui, bring the medicinal soup up!”
"This servant will obey!"
Xiao Cui held the purple wooden tray and slowly walked forward.
There was a white porcelain bowl on the tray.
The deep red medicinal liquid in the bowl is still emitting steam. This is the medicinal soup used to treat Qin Zheng's stomach.
"Young Master, your medicine has arrived!"
Xiao Cui kneels at Qin Zheng's feet, raising the tray above her head, then silently lowers her head.
At this moment, she was extremely nervous.
This time, in order to get it right in one go, she went all out and directly increased the amount of laxatives by ten times.
Even if a strong bull drank it, it would have diarrhea on the spot. She doesn't believe that Qin Zheng will be fine this time.
According to her wishes, she wanted Qin Zheng to fall ill this time and stay in bed for more than three days.
This way, her mission would be completed.
At the same time, after Qin Zheng takes a glance at the medicinal soup, he looks at Little Cui with a faint smile.
Xiao Cui saw that Qin Zheng did not move for a long time and could not help but say: "Young Master, your medicine!"
"Oh! I saw it. Xiao Cui, drink this bowl of medicine for me!”
" Uh…" Xiao Cui was stunned. She vaguely felt that something was wrong.
Then, she pretended to be calm and said,"Young Master, you must be joking." This servant has heard that there are people who work for others, but how can there be people who drink medicine for others? Besides, there is nothing wrong with this servant's stomach, so there is no need to drink.”
"Oh? Was that so? But I think you're crazy!"
As soon as he said this, Xiao Cui started to panic. She felt that Qin Zheng's tone didn't seem like he was joking.
Everyone below could tell that something was wrong.
After a moment, Xiao Cui forced herself to calm down and said with a bitter smile,"Young Master, didn't we agree? After drinking this one, there was no need to drink anymore.”
"Haha! Looks like you won't admit it if I don't point it out.”
"Uh…Young Master, this servant doesn't understand what you mean!”
Qin Zheng's sudden change of attitude made Little Cui somewhat unprepared.
"You don't understand? Good! Then let me tell you, someone recently put laxatives in my soup, making my body extremely weak. Did you do this?"
As soon as these words fell, it immediately caused a huge uproar. All the servants looked at Little Cui in shock, as if they could not believe it.
Xiao Cui was so frightened that her expression changed drastically. Her heart thumped and she was completely stunned.
Then, she exclaimed loudly,"Young Master, this servant is wronged!" This servant has never done this before. The imperial physician had also said that Young Master's diarrhea was caused by stomach discomfort. This had nothing to do with laxatives!”
"Since that's the case, treat it as everyone drinking this bowl of medicine to prove their innocence!”
"Ah!"
Xiao Cui was completely stunned.
If she did not increase the amount of laxatives, she would still dare to drink it. That way, at least she could hold it in and not expose herself on the spot.
But now, she had increased the amount of laxatives by ten times. Even a cow could not withstand it. How could a thin and weak girl like her withstand it?
At this moment, Little Cui suddenly realized something. The way she looked at Qin Zheng was like it was her first time meeting Qin Zheng, revealing shock.
She finally realized that she had been tricked.
So the real idiot was herself.
Qin Zheng's previous words were all to deceive her, intentionally luring her to increase the amount of laxatives, making her dig a hole for herself!
At this moment, Xiao Cui was completely flustered, and her mind was racing.
Zhao Gao, who was standing at the side, also saw the strange expression on Xiao Cui's face and understood.
But soon after, he frowned slightly. The gaze he used to look at Qin Zheng was somewhat dim as he sighed in his heart.
"Sigh! It seemed that Young Master was still young and impulsive! There was something wrong with Xiao Cui, but Young Master shouldn't force her now!”
"This laxative is different from those poisonous substances. It won't act up immediately after taking it. Xiao Cui was also at the seventh level of body-refinement, so she had strong control over her body. Even if there were laxatives, she could hold it in for a long time without acting up. If that was the case, how could he prove that there was something wrong with the medicine?”
"Isn't this the same as Young Master maligning her? Moreover, it was in front of so many servants. This was equivalent to Young Master slapping his own face in public! This will ruin Young Master's prestige!"
Thinking of this, Zhao Gao was worried.
He wanted to warn Qin Zheng but Qin Zheng's words had already been spoken. There was no way to save him.
At this moment, the servants began to discuss in low voices.
"Do you think Xiao Cui really used laxatives?”
"Eh! I'm not sure! However, wasn't Young Master a little too impatient?”
"That's right! This laxative was an instant effect for ordinary people. However, Xiao Cui was a martial artist at the seventh level of the Body Refining realm, so she had some resistance to laxatives. Even if there was a problem with the medicine, she would not expose it on the spot.”
"Sigh! It seems that Young Master is still young!"
……
At this moment, many servants are slightly disappointed with Qin Zheng's actions.
However, what everyone did not know was that Xiao Cui's thoughts were completely opposite to theirs.
At this moment, Xiao Cui even wanted to die.……
