Reborn as a bride, pretending to be virtuous, the prince held his waist and regretted

The whole birthday banquet was full of joy.

Gu Xiling observed carefully and found nothing unusual.

It’s cold, and the food has gone cold.

Gu Xiling didn't eat the food in front of her at all, but ate a few snacks that she had put in her sleeves.

Her mouth was a little dry, but she didn't drink.

Madam Zheng sat next to Gu Xiling, and she leaned slightly towards this side. "Madam, why do I feel like Princess Xueying is always looking at you?"

Gu Xiling didn't look up, but covered her mouth with a fan, "She might cause trouble for me, don't get too close to me, in case you get implicated. Also, don't eat the food on the table."

Madam Zheng, who was about to pick up some food, was startled and gently put down her chopsticks, "Thank you, Madam, for reminding me."

"You're welcome." Gu Xiling got along well with Madam Zheng, so she naturally didn't want to see Madam Zheng being implicated by her.

Princess Xueying poisoned her. If the wrong dish was served and it landed on the table next to her, Madam Zheng would surely die.

Mrs. Zheng didn't dare to make it too obvious, so she picked up some more food, pretended to eat it, and then put it back.

The sound of stringed instruments is pleasant to the ears.

There are fireworks in the distance, making the sky colorful.

When Princess Xueying saw that Gu Xirong did not eat the food on the table, she frowned slightly and winked at the palace maid.

The palace maid's heart skipped a beat. If the thing the princess asked her to do was exposed, she would have no way out but death.

However, if she dared to disobey Princess Xueying's orders, she would die.

She had no choice.

So she held the wine jug and poured wine for these ladies.

When she arrived in front of Gu Xiling, she seemed to be tripped by her skirt, and threw the wine jug in her hand in the direction of Gu Xiling.

Gu Xiling quickly moved to the side, and the wine jug fell half a foot behind her.

The loud "crash" startled the people around.

The maid immediately begged for mercy, "Madam, please forgive me, I did not mean to do that just now."

Gu Xiling nodded, "I saw it, your skirt is too long and you tripped yourself. This is His Majesty's birthday banquet, get up quickly."

The eunuchs cleaned up quickly and the palace maids were taken away.

Princess Xueying was dumbfounded. Shouldn't the wine jug have fallen on Gu Xiling, spilling wine all over her, and then she had to change clothes?

As long as Gu Xiling goes there, she can take action there.

But now Gu Xiling was clean and didn’t need to go to the toilet at all.

If the palace maid were to do the same thing again, anyone would be able to see that it was aimed at Gu Xiling.

If Gu Xiling doesn't eat the food on her table, the poison will not be able to enter her body.

If we can't deal with Gu Xiling, then we can only start with Zhou Jin.

But today Zhou Jin not only didn't eat, but also didn't drink. Even when he went to the bathroom, he wanted to take ten colleagues with him.

Princess Xueying didn't think that she would only have one man in her life, but at this time, she couldn't directly drug ten male officials.

In this way, Zhou Jin also escaped the clutches of Princess Xueying.

At night, everyone stayed at the imperial villa.

Gu Xiling and Zhou Jin were assigned to the same room, with Madam Zheng and Lord Zheng next door.

Zhou Jin hugged Gu Xiling and said, "Xiling, we will go back after breakfast tomorrow."

"Princess Xueying didn't find any trouble at the banquet, so tomorrow won't be peaceful either." Gu Xiling said in a deep voice, "Husband, you have to be careful tomorrow."

"Yes!" Zhou Jin agreed.

At night, Zhou Jin hugged Gu Xiling tightly.

Princess Xueying did not sleep all night. She realized that Zhou Jin and Gu Xiling seemed to be on guard. It was too difficult to take action in such a situation.

The next morning, Princess Xueying got up with dark circles under her eyes.

Just as he was about to go out, he was stopped by the nanny at the door.

Princess Xueying frowned slightly, "What did the Queen Mother want? Why didn't she let me go out?"

Nanny Li lowered her head and answered respectfully, "The Queen said that when the maid was silenced last night, her people arrived, and now the Queen knows everything. There are many people outside, so the princess should rest in her room and don't walk around."

"Ah?" Princess Xueying felt a chill down her spine. She had used those methods last night to try to silence someone, but she was still caught by the Queen.

"I want to see my mother." Princess Xueying was anxious and wanted to explain to her mother.

These things cannot be acknowledged.

Nanny Li stopped her and said, "The Queen will summon the ladies in the future, so please have a good rest, Princess."

Princess Xueying stamped her feet in anger and had to go back.

It is said that Marquis Changning secretly took advantage of the situation and sent someone to report to the Queen Mother in time.

The Queen Mother specially sent someone to find the little palace maid who had lost her life yesterday and inquire about the situation. She happened to rescue the little palace maid who was strangled by the eunuch.

The Queen knew that something was wrong, so she brought the people around Princess Xueying over for interrogation.

This question led to the question of poisoning.

Not only did he fail to poison Gu Xiling, he also tried to poison Zhou Jin.

Fortunately, Gu Xiling and Zhou Jin were lucky yesterday. They were with others and had the advantage of being in large numbers, so they were not left alone.

The Queen felt dizzy and had to hold on to avoid fainting. "Madam Gu, Xueying is like this, what should we do?"

Nanny Gu lowered her head and said, "The Queen is kindhearted and treats Princess Xueying as her own daughter. Although you have done your best, Princess Xueying may not appreciate it. After all, she is not your biological daughter. If you say it lightly, it will be useless. If you say it harshly, Princess Xueying will not be able to bear it. It is best to report it to the Queen Mother and let her make the decision."

When the Queen heard this, she took a few deep breaths and said, "Mammy is right. This matter is indeed difficult for me to handle. Xueying is the Queen Mother's granddaughter. As a grandmother, it is only natural for me to take care of my granddaughter."

As her nominal adoptive mother, she has no ability and no right to say much.

In the past, she only thought that Princess Xueying was young, willful and capricious, but she could still be changed.

But it hasn't been long since he was taught a lesson last time, and he's already started making trouble again.

Poisoning at His Majesty's birthday banquet?

How stupid must a person be to do such a thing?

Is this the style of a royal princess? This is too embarrassing!

The Queen Mother reported what she had found out to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother's expression changed drastically, "How could this... this evil creature do this?"

The Queen sighed, "My daughter-in-law doesn't dare to believe it, but there is indeed poison in Gu's food. Fortunately, Gu didn't eat anything yesterday, otherwise she would have been poisoned by now."

The Queen Mother was horrified. "Those who knew about this matter, clean them up and don't spread it out. Otherwise, Xueying's reputation will be damaged. How can my son and daughter-in-law who died young rest in peace?"

The Queen Mother felt sorry, but she could only nod, "Yes, mother. But Xueying has repeatedly harmed the Gu family, and she also tried to give Zhou Jin the Hehuan Powder. If she fails this time, Xueying may not give up. Mother, you have to think of a permanent solution."

The Queen Mother looked embarrassed and she also wanted to find a good solution. It was obvious that Xueying had set her sights on Zhou Jin.

There were no royal ladies in the royal family who could be concubines, and the Empress Dowager did not allow it.

"How about this, I will continue to take Xueying to the south to worship Buddha, and wait until the spring examination next year, I will find a suitable husband for Xueying." The Empress Dowager knew that if Xueying stayed in the capital, it would be bad news.
