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

Deep in the palace, the night is as dark as ink

Concubine Yao stood at the remote palace wall, her face twisted and her eyes flashing with madness.

The palace maid Biyu was trembling all over, as if she felt the terror that was about to come.

"You," Yaopin suddenly said, her voice sharp and sick, "do you know what I want?"

Biyu replied in a trembling voice: "I don't know."

Concubine Yao laughed crazily: "I want to kill that Su Ning! Go and poison me!"

Biyu kowtowed in fear: "My Lady, this... this is a capital crime!"

"Death penalty?" Concubine Yao sneered, "If you don't go, it will be a death penalty now! Go quickly, or I will make you live a life worse than death!"

Biyu burst into tears: "My lady, please forgive me!"

Yaopin grabbed Biyu's hair fiercely, her eyes frantic: "Forgive you? Then who will forgive me? I want to see Su Ning die and hear her screams! Go!"

Biyu shook her head helplessly: "My lady, I can't do it!"

Concubine Yao laughed crazily: "Can't do it? Then I will let you taste the real pain! Your family, your loved ones, they will all die because of you!"

Biyu's eyes widened in horror: "My Lady, don't!"

Yaopin let go of her hand and looked at the maid coldly: "Then do it! Otherwise, you will bear the consequences!"

Biyu was trembling all over. She knew that Concubine Yao had gone completely crazy.

If she didn't agree, she would probably die here immediately.

Biyu kowtowed helplessly: "Yes, Madam, I will do it right away."

Yaopin nodded with satisfaction, her eyes flashing with madness: "Very good, remember, don't let me down."

After saying this, she turned around and disappeared into the night.

Only Biyu was left sitting on the ground, tears streaming down her face and trembling.

Who knew that Concubine Yao did not leave the palace, she just found a secret place

Looking at the expression of Jade at this moment,

Yaopin seems to enjoy being able to dominate other people's fate

She stood there with a distorted face, her eyes flashing with madness

Just when Yaopin was imagining what Suning would look like after his death

Suddenly, a cold wind blew and she felt someone behind her.

Yaopin turned around suddenly and saw a woman in a black robe appearing behind her like a ghost.

Although Yaopin showed a morbid humility, her eyes could not hide her inner calculations and ambitions.

She spoke softly, trying to test the bottom line of the Lord of Hell: "Lord of Hell, you have come tonight, there must be something important to discuss."

Lord Ming smiled coldly, his voice revealing unquestionable majesty:

"Yaopin, you don't need to test me. I came here tonight just to remind you. Do you think Su Ning is like you, with a head full of things that are not presentable? If you want to use tricks, you have to use a series of tricks. Come closer."

She seemed to understand what Mingjun meant, and also realized that her plan had too many loopholes.

"Remember, if you dare to betray me, I will make you suffer a fate worse than those girls in your palace."

Concubine Yao's heart trembled. She felt the cruelty and determination in the words of the Lord of Hell.

Yaopin lowered her head even more humbly:

"I understand. I will do my best to help Lord Ming achieve his wish."

Mingjun nodded with satisfaction, her eyes revealing her appreciation and use of Concubine Yao:

"Very good. Remember, your loyalty will be your only protection. As long as you are loyal, I will ensure that you will remain standing in this deep palace."

After saying that, Mingjun turned and left, and her figure instantly disappeared into the darkness.

Concubine Yao stood there with a look of shock and realization on her face.

In the deep corridor of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Biyu approached a servant named Xiaomei who had a worried look on her face.

Biyu took out a heavy bag of silver and handed it to Xiaomei: "Take these for emergency use. The old man's health is more important."

Xiaomei looked at the silver in her hand in astonishment and raised her head in disbelief:

"How can I repay this great favor?"

Biyu smiled slightly, took Xiaomei's hand and whispered:

"You just need to do one thing for me, and this money will be considered as an advance payment."

Xiaomei's heart tightened, and she vaguely guessed that what Biyu was going to say next was of great importance.

She swallowed and asked carefully, "What is it? As long as I can do it, I will not refuse."

Biyu looked around and made sure that no one was around.

Then she lowered her voice and said, "You just need to put some medicine powder in Suning's diet, and I will take care of the rest." As she spoke, she took out a small paper bag from her sleeve.

Xiaomei's face suddenly changed, and the silver in her hand seemed to become hot:

"This...is this poison? I, I can't do such a thing!" She waved her hands repeatedly, trying to refuse.

Biyu was neither anxious nor annoyed, she just gently held Xiaomei's wrist.

Slowly said: "Xiaomei, you are a smart person, you should know what is the best choice.

Think about your old mother, this money is enough for her to see a doctor and buy medicine."

Xiaomei bit her lip and took the paper bag with trembling hands.

Her eyes were filled with helplessness and determination: "I understand, Miss Biyu. I only ask that you keep your promise and keep my family safe."

Biyu nodded with satisfaction: "Don't worry." Then she turned and left.

After Su Qianqian returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, she was tired but did not dare to relax at all.

The situation in the palace is unpredictable, and she knows that she has become a thorn in the eyes of Concubine Yao.

Just as she was thinking, a faint strange fragrance drifted into her nose. This fragrance was strange and unfamiliar, and it was definitely not the incense commonly used in the mansion.

Su Qianqian's pupils suddenly contracted, and she immediately realized that this might be Concubine Yao's evil plot.

She quickly stood up and walked towards the kitchen calmly.

On the way, she keenly caught a glimpse of a sneaky figure flashing past the kitchen door.

Su Qianqian's heart tightened, but she did not expose it immediately. Instead, she decided to observe secretly to see what kind of conspiracy was hidden behind it.

After returning to her boudoir, she ordered Hua Yao to bring dinner, and secretly instructed Hua Ling to investigate the suspicious figure.

Dinner was served on the table. She examined each dish one by one, and finally her eyes fell on a bowl of tempting soup.

The strange fragrance came from this bowl of soup.

Su Qianqian sneered in her heart, Concubine Yao really couldn't hold back and was about to take action.

She decided to take advantage of the situation and see what Concubine Yao was up to.

So she secretly ordered someone to replace the soup and told the kitchen to prepare an identical soup.

She felt as if she was in a huge vortex and could be sucked in and lose herself at any time.

Not long after, Hua Ling returned to the mansion and hurriedly found Su Qianqian who was waiting for the selection.

Their eyes met, both filled with a hint of nervousness and inquiry.

"Miss, that man is from our Prime Minister's Mansion." Hua Ling lowered his voice and said mysteriously.

Su Qianqian raised her eyebrows, curiosity flashing in her eyes: "Oh? He is really one of our own."

Hua Ling nodded, and said affirmatively: "That's right."

"Then have you seen her face clearly?" Su Qianqian asked, with a hint of urgency in her tone.

Hua Ling pondered for a moment, as if recalling the scene at that time: "I saw clearly that the maid was named Xiaomei, but the Xiaomei I know shouldn't be like this"

After Su Qianqian heard this, she had a thoughtful expression on her face: "Xiaomei? The maid who always keeps her head down and doesn't like to talk?"

"Yes, that's her." Hua Ling confirmed, "She has a sick mother at home, and she hardly talks."

Su Qianqian smiled slightly, with an inexplicable light flashing in her eyes: "If that's the case, then it could be... Hua Ling, have someone bring Xiaomei here immediately, be gentle, don't let anyone know!"

Hua Ling said: "Okay, Miss!"

In a dimly lit room, Su Qianqian looked pale.

There was a hint of disbelief in her eyes. She stared at Xiaomei in front of her and asked in a trembling voice:

"Xiaomei, why are you doing this?"

Xiaomei lowered her head, clasped her hands tightly together, and her voice was almost inaudible: "I...I..."

Su Qianqian took a deep breath and tried to make her voice sound calmer: "Do you have any difficulties? Tell me, we can solve it together."

Xiaomei raised her head, tears welling up in her eyes: "Sister Qianqian, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it. Someone... someone forced me to do this."

Su Qianqian frowned and asked, "Forced you? Who?"

Xiaomei bit her lip, as if she was hesitating whether to say it or not.

Seeing this, Su Qianqian gently held her hand and said softly: "Xiaomei, believe me, no matter what happens, I will stand by you."

Xiaomei finally broke down, tears welling up in her eyes: "It was...it was the maidservant beside Concubine Yao. She said that if I didn't do as she said, she would harm my family. I really can't do anything, Miss, I'm sorry..."

Su Qianqian let go of her hand in shock, her face becoming even paler: "Yaopin, ..."

Xiaomei sobbed and said, "I don't know why she did this.

I only know that she threatened me to poison your food. Miss, I really don't want to hurt you, but I..."

Su Qianqian took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

She looked at Xiaomei, stretched out her hand, and put a purse in Xiaomei's hand: "Xiaomei, don't worry, your mother's illness can be cured with this."

Xiaomei's tears fell down: "Thank you Miss, thank you Miss..."

Su Qianqian smiled and said, "You can go down... Oh, by the way, just pretend nothing happened."

Xiaomei nodded and left the room silently.

The truth was revealed, but Su Qianqian was not in a hurry to expose it.

She decided to take advantage of this opportunity to give Concubine Yao a severe counterattack.

She ordered the poisoned soup to be sent back to the kitchen.

Sure enough, when Biyu learned that Xiaomei's poisoning attempt had failed, she decided to do it herself.

She sneaked into the Prime Minister's Mansion and tried to find the poisoned soup in the kitchen to destroy it.

However, she fell into the trap set by Su Qianqian and was captured on the spot...
