Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Before their goal was achieved, the Crown Prince Manor was the best place to protect them. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he did not want both sides to suffer. Han Jingshu was still useful to Yan Huaijing’s great cause. Without threatening their safety, Han Jingshu’s existence was beneficial to both sides.
The cloaked man observed for a while more and after confirming that Han Jingshu was fine, he put the tile back in relief and returned to Full Moon Pavilion.
What the cloaked man did not know was that as soon as he left, Han Jingshu looked at a bronze mirror opposite the dressing table.
Han Jingshu was a woman who liked to look beautiful. Of course, she also had the capital to do so. She was beautiful, graceful, and far surpassed the various socialites in the capital. She liked to look in the mirror. Other than a bronze mirror on the dressing table, there were two other bronze mirrors decorating the room.
One of the bronze mirrors happened to reflect the scene on the roof.
Han Jingshu indeed did not sense that someone had come. She had seen someone come with her own eyes. Of course, she did not see the other party’s appearance clearly. She only saw that the roof tiles had been lifted, but this was enough for her to guess which group of people was monitoring her.
Now, after confirming that the other party had left, Han Jingshu took out a small porcelain bottle from under the bed. It contained the pill that Gu Lady had fed her.
She did not swallow it.
She had already woken up before Gu Lady entered the room. However, Gu Lady happened to come. She wanted to see what Gu Lady wanted to do, so she pretended to be unconscious. When Gu Lady fed her something, she did not dare to pretend to be asleep anymore.
Lu’er walked in with the osmanthus cake. “Your Highness, the osmanthus cake is ready!”
Han Jingshu stuffed the pill into the blanket and said to her, “My stomach is a little uncomfortable. Go and find Imperial Physician Zhang.”
Imperial Physician Zhang was Prime Minister Han’s best friend and someone she could trust.
“Should I report to His Highness the Crown Prince?”
“He’s handling official business. Don’t disturb him. I’ll tell him when he comes over later.”
“Oh!” Lu’er left without hesitation.
Imperial Physician Zhang came quickly. Han Jingshu dismissed everyone in the room and handed the pill to him. “Imperial Physician Zhang, please help me take a look at what medicine this is.”
After Imperial Physician Zhang examined the pill, he said, “It’s a beauty pill to nourish one’s vital energy and blood. It’s mainly made of ingredients like gelatin, red dates, and yams.”
“Is it not poisonous?” Han Jingshu asked.
Imperial Physician Zhang said, “No, pregnant women can eat it too, but your vital energy and blood are not weak. There’s no need to eat this.”
This was very strange. She thought that Gu Lady was here to silence her and would definitely feed her poison. Even if it was not poison, it was a slow-acting medicine that could cause physical damage. However, as Imperial Physician Zhang had said, this kind of beauty nourishing pill was no different from a bowl of red date porridge.
Then why did Gu Lady give her this? Han Jingshu could not understand.
Yu Wan, who was far away in the Young Master Manor, could not understand either. She could not understand why her ten thousand taels of gold was gone just like that. Which damn person actually picked up her, Niohuru Yu Wan, credit?
Yu Wan held her stomach and tossed and turned on the bed. Yan Xiaosi was dizzy from her shaking and stuck out her tongue. Suddenly, there was a thud on the floor.
Yu Wan stopped in her tracks. She looked at the bead on the floor and then at the safety talisman she was wearing around her neck. She took it down. “Oh?
The bead fell.’
This safety talisman was a gift from Madam Jiang on the day before the wedding. There was a bead inside. Consort Yun had once lived frugally and given Madam Jiang a bead. Yu Wan thought that this must be Consort Yun’s bead.
Yu Wan released Little Gu. Little Gu thought that there was something big, so it widened its eyes and looked at Yu Wan. Yu Wan pointed at the bead on the ground. “Pick it up.”
Little Gu was stunned! She woke it up in the middle of the night just to ask it to pick up a broken bead?! Of course, Little Gu would not pick it up itself. It released its new underling and said arrogantly, “Go! Pick up the bead!”
The Thousand Gu King did not dare to be unyielding. It obediently jumped to the ground and carried the bead the size of a fingernail.
Yu Wan did not care who picked it up. She held the bead in her hand. She did not pay much attention to this bead in the past. Today, she was bored, so she took a few more glances.
“Grandma Yun has lived frugally for half her life and only saved up this bead. I’m afraid Grandma Yun has been deceived. This bead looks so ordinary. There are better ones on the streets…”
Before Yu Wan could finish speaking, she felt something grab her finger!
It hurts!
Yu Wan thought she was hallucinating, then she saw the blood on her fingertips. She was stunned.. What was going on? In this day and age… beads still bite people?
