Butler Feng didnât speak directly. Instead, he looked at Mrs. Sun and the others.
Seeing this, Gu Wanning waved them out.
Butler Feng didnât hide anything after that. He explained the matter and said, âI donât know what was added to this chicken soup, but it canât be drunk.
âPlease think of a way to dispose of it and try to avoid making a fuss. Weâll deal with her as soon as possible.â
Gu Wanning panicked momentarily, but she immediately calmed down and asked, âWhat about the other dishes?â
Butler Feng noticed her steadiness and nodded with satisfaction. âThe rest are fine. Only the chicken soup was spiked. Remember not to make a sound.â
Although the secondary consort was not the main wife, she still played a leading role.
If something happened to the princess consort, she would have to take over, so having a steady personality was important.
So far, Uncle Feng was quite satisfied with her attitude.
âAlright, Iâll remember it.â
âPlease enjoy the rest of your meal.â Uncle Feng responded, turned around, and walked out in a hurry.
After he left, Gu Wanning looked at the chicken soup on the table with a regretful expression, but she did not continue to drink it.
She pulled two strands of hair out and threw them into the chicken soup.
Once Mrs. Sun returned, Gu Wanning refused to drink the chicken soup because she had found her hair and asked her to deal with it.
When Mother Sun saw this, she said, âAlright, leave it to me. I will drink it later.â
âDonât. Thereâs hair in the soup, so who knows if thereâs anything else? Itâs better to be careful.â
âCould it be that the princess consort deliberately arranged this?â
âNo. That would be too impatient of her. Thereâs the risk of His Highness investigating.â
âBut what if?â
âI donât think so. At most, this will just disgust me and wonât have any effect. It will also just put me on alert.â
âJust in case, I will prepare a silver needle later.â After speaking, Mrs. Sun took the chicken soup away and disposed of it.
Over the following half a month, Uncle Feng discovered that Qiao Lanlan would tamper with the soup of whoever His Highness had rested with the night before.
Uncle Feng got someone to steal some medicine and planned to find someone to identify it. He ended up going to Gu Chengrui through Zhou Huaimingâs recommendation.
Gu Chengrui did not reject the request. After testing it and confirming it was the same contraceptive medicine, he replied to Uncle Feng.
After Uncle Feng received the news, he was extremely furious. This was related to King Ruiâs descendant, so he quickly informed him about it.
When King Rui found out, his face was full of surprise. He could not figure out the other partyâs true intentions after that.
So, he asked Uncle Feng to continue his surveillance.
On the day Qiao Lanlanâs medicine was finished, Qiao Lanlan found the servant she reported to and asked, âThe medicine is used up again. Whatâs the meaning of this? Itâs been so long, but the higher-ups still have yet to make a final decision?
âAm I going to continue like this?
âIâll definitely be exposed if this drags on.â
âIâll report this matter to the higher-ups as soon as possible. You head back for now.â The servant turned around and left quickly.
Qiao Lanlan had no choice but to leave empty-handed.
They both didnât notice a figure quietly following the servant until he returned to the dormitory to sleep.
Soon, Uncle Feng received the news and immediately blamed himself.
He did not expect that there would be more than one spy in the residence he was managing. How could he endure this?
He said to the person, âContinue to monitor them. You two brothers, keep an eye on that servant and see who he contacts tomorrow.
âRemember, you are not allowed to alert them.â
âI undestand.â The person replied and turned to leave..
