Rebirth: The Two-Faced Cook Meets the Cold-Faced King Qin

Concubine Yao looked at the cell from afar, her brows slightly furrowed, as if she had noticed something.

"Hey, who is the eldest daughter of the Su family talking to?" She whispered to herself with a hint of amusement in her tone.

Concubine Yao's gaze inadvertently swept across Nangong Wen. He stood there quietly with a deep look in his eyes, as if isolated from the world.

However, Concubine Yao just looked at him deeply and then looked away.

She walked slowly towards the cell, with a hint of displeasure and a hint of vigilance on her face.

"You damn girl, you can't keep quiet even in the cell." Concubine Yao thought to herself.

She stood outside the cell, staring at Su Ning coldly, wanting to see the coldness and evil charm on Su Ning's face again.

Su Ning raised her head and saw Concubine Yao. A hint of surprise flashed across her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

She did not respond to Concubine Yao's reproach, but just smiled faintly.

Nangong Wen stood aside, his eyes moving between Concubine Yao and Su Qianqian, as if he was thinking about something.

The atmosphere in the cell suddenly became subtle, and the relationship between the three people seemed to become more complicated.

Concubine Yao knew that the eldest daughter of the Su family was not a simple person now. Even in the cell, she could still remain calm and composed.

Suning knew clearly that now was not the time to confront Concubine Yao head-on.

Being in a cell, she needs to be more cautious and strategic.

But she also realized that she could use this opportunity to subtly sow discord between Concubine Yao and Concubine Xuan.

Nangong Wen, who was standing by, keenly noticed Suning's subtle changes.

Suning smiled slightly, and that smile revealed a bit of cunning and wit.

She did not directly respond to Concubine Yao's accusation, but mentioned Concubine Xuan lightly.

Concubine Yao frowned, with a bit of displeasure in her eyes. She stared at Su Ning and said in a cold tone:

"Suning, do you think your cleverness can sow discord between Concubine Xuan and me?

Don't forget, you are a prisoner now."

As she spoke, a scornful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Suning smiled lightly, his eyes flashing with provocation and disdain:

"Madam Yaopin, I am not trying to instigate others, I am just stating the facts."

She raised her eyebrows slightly and continued, "Empress Xuan is in favor now.

And you, were demoted from Concubine Yao to Bin Yao, and that position of concubine has remained vacant.

Recently, the Emperor promoted Concubine Xuan to Concubine Xuan, but you have never returned to the position of Concubine. Isn't this thought-provoking?"

Yaopin's expression changed slightly, she stared at Su Ning and said angrily:

"Suning, you, you must stop talking nonsense! How can you guess what the emperor is thinking?"

"I'm not talking nonsense." Su Ning had a smile on her face and a firm look in her eyes. "The emperor promoted Concubine Xuan to Concubine Xuan, but you are still a concubine.

This may be exactly what the emperor thinks of you.

Maybe he thinks you are cruel, vicious, or even a little bit yandere and crazy, so he no longer pampers you. "

These words directly hit the sore spot of Concubine Yao. Her face suddenly changed and she gritted her teeth:

"Suning, you are too presumptuous!

Do you think you understand the emperor's mind?

You think you can shake me with just a few words? That's wishful thinking! "

Nangong Wen, who was standing by, listened to the conversation quietly, secretly impressed by Suning's wit and courage.

He looked at Su Ning's calm smile, and he knew very well that this woman was not only outstanding in appearance, but also possessed extraordinary wisdom and means.

Suning continued:

"My Lady Yaopin, I don't mean to shake your position, I just want to remind you that the situation in the palace is unpredictable.

Should you reflect on your own behavior and attitudes? "

Concubine Yao's heart was touched. She glared at Su Ning, turned away angrily, and remained silent.

But Suning did not stop, took a step forward and continued:

“The emperor’s favor towards everyone is not without reason.

"The fact that Concubine Xuan is favored must be due to her extraordinary qualities. What about you?"

Nangong Wen listened to Su Ning's words and thought, "This woman not only successfully aroused Yaopin's jealousy and suspicion,

He also cleverly guided Concubine Yao to reflect on herself. Women really can't be provoked! "

Concubine Yao came here with full of doubts. She wanted to explore the meaning behind the evil smile that Suning left behind when he left.

However, facing Suning's words, she was speechless.

However, the moment Concubine Yao turned around, Nangong Wen caught a glimpse of the change on Su Ning's face.

There was a hint of coldness in Suning's eyes, an expression that he had never had before.

Then, a wicked smile appeared on her lips.

This smile was a mockery of Concubine Yao and also a celebration of her own victory.

Nangong Wen's heart trembled.

"This Su Ning is not only a sharp-tongued woman, but also a scheming court master."

After Concubine Yao left, Suning slowly put away the gloomy look on his face, just like the stars gradually dimming under the night sky.

She turned lightly and faced Nangong Wen, her eyes flickering with an elusive light.

Nangong Wen was startled by Su Ning's sudden turn, and secretly marveled at the change in her aura.

Nangong Wen calmed down and spoke politely, "Miss Su, you are so scheming."

There was a hint of approval and a hint of caution in his tone.

Suning pretended to be ignorant and blinked, and said softly:

"What? Scheming? How could I be scheming?" There was a hint of innocence in her words, as if she knew nothing about it.

However, she immediately changed the subject, with a hint of self-mockery and profoundness:

"You have to know that the more calculating I am now, the more stupid and naive I was back then."

Her tone revealed a feeling of having experienced many vicissitudes of life.

Su Ning turned his head to look at Nangong Wen. There seemed to be endless stories hidden in those clear eyes.

She asked softly, "Am I right?"

Nangong Wen suddenly noticed that Su Ning's face was a little pale, and a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.

He said softly, "Miss Su, you don't look well. Can I feel your pulse?"

Su Ning looked at Nangong Wen in confusion. Although he was a little confused, he still stretched out his hand as he was told.

Nangong Wen gently took her pulse, his expression gradually becoming solemn.

After a moment, he let go of his hand, with a look of shock on his face.

"This is... poison?" His voice was filled with disbelief. "When did you get poisoned like this?"

Su Ning's eyes flashed with surprise when she heard this. She had never thought that

There was such a terrible toxin hidden in my body.

For a moment, the air seemed to freeze and both of them fell into silence.

"Heart erosion?" Su Ning's eyes widened, his face full of astonishment, "How could I be infected with this poison?"

Nangong Wen's face was gloomy, his eyes flashing with sharp light:

“This poison is not common, it comes from a foreign land, similar to Gu poison, but more hidden.

It's called 'Heartburn' because it eats away at your body and corrodes your mind."

Su Ning's thoughts began to spin rapidly, and she kept recalling the past.

Suddenly, her heartbeat quickened and a startling idea came into her mind.

She once thought she had developed a third personality - Na Mei'er.

Su Ning began to suspect that Mei'er was not her third personality at all.

"Could it be," Suning whispered to himself,

"Mei'er is not my split personality, but the influence of this heart-corroding poison?"

Nangong Wen heard her whisper and frowned: "What did you say? Mei'er? Who is that?"

Su Ning told Nangong Wen that there was a time when he

I have no idea what I did or said.

And she also has an independent name, Mei'er.

Su Ning raised his eyes and looked at Nangong Wen, "Could this Mei'er be the result of the influence of the heart-corroding poison?"

After hearing this, Nangong Wen's eyes flashed with surprise, and then he nodded slowly:

“That’s very possible. The Heart-Erosion Poison can affect people’s minds and create all kinds of hallucinations.

The Mei'er you experienced might just be an illusion caused by the toxin."

At this moment, Concubine Xuan came slowly from outside.
