Chapter 179 Play the long game to catch the big fish!
Prince Yu's Mansion
Shang Wu appeared in Mo Yuxuan like a ghost, walked directly past Li Zhenting who was sitting in the main seat, and leaned over to whisper a few words to Fang Qingqing.
"Very good, I really can't hold it back."
Fang Qingqing laughed out loud. She and the prince were right in their judgment. It was indeed her!
"Thank you for following closely, Xiao Wu. Let's see what she will do at the next banquet."
Xiao Wu nodded and retreated like the wind.
Li Zhenting did not hide his displeasure on his face. This Shang Wu was becoming more and more ignorant of the rules. Even though he was a martial arts master and had saved Qing'er many times, he should not ignore his master like this!
The arrogance and contempt for others is really too much.
"Hehe, why do I smell the scent of Shanxi aged vinegar... so sour..."
How could Fang Qingqing, who was so smart, not notice his emotional changes? She deliberately tilted her head, stretched out her right index finger, gently scratched his palm, and spoke to him in a low voice.
"I am Xiao Wu's master. Xiao Wu does things for me, that's all!"
"But he..."
"But he ignored you, repeatedly spoke rudely to you, and seemed hostile to you? As the deputy master of Shangsheng Building, he's a murderer. If I hadn't controlled him with drugs, how could he be so loyal to me?"
Fang Qingqing made up an excuse to fool Shang Wu. Naturally, she couldn't reveal Xiao Wu's true identity. Whether it was the portable space or the Wu Jingling Jade Pendant, she had to keep this secret.
Seeing that Li Zhenting's mood gradually calmed down, Fang Qingqing looked around vigilantly and drew a word on his broad palm with her right index finger.
"You mean De..."
"Shh..."
Seeing a figure flash outside, it seemed like someone was passing by. Fang Qingqing vigilantly stopped him from talking. Just as she was about to stand up, she heard Shang Wu shouting in a loud voice.
"Miss Xue'er, what's the matter? The princess has gone to bed..."
"General Wu, Xue'er has been at the palace for two days now, claiming to be here to take care of the princess. But after arriving, she can't do anything to help, and she feels incredibly guilty. My eldest brother mentioned that the princess enjoys midnight snacks, so Xue'er specially made some meat wontons and sent them over..."
"Eating late at night is not good for your health. Miss Xue'er, please go back. Besides, the princess's daily life is now being taken care of by Yun Qing's mother, Madam Song, so there is no need for Miss Xue'er to worry about it!"
"Okay, General Wu, why don't you take it back and eat it..."
"Girl, please go back!"
Shang Wu refused mercilessly with a cold face. He felt that Bai Lianyi seemed unreliable. He brought back this girl Xue'er. Not only did she look like a Xiao countryman, but he also felt unhappy about the way she eavesdropped secretly.
Xue'er walked to the corner with a lunch box, also looking suspicious.
The master has long suspected that Fang Qingqing is up to something. The ghost incident in Prince Qi's mansion that day was obviously caused by someone. The evil ghost Xiaozhu possessed Lu Peian's body and killed Li Huating. Xiaozhu appeared and used white silk to force the magician to reveal his true face. It must be her who is behind it!
After much thought, the problem should lie with Shang Wu.
This Shang Wu doesn't seem to be a human at all!
He came and went without a trace. Just now, when she was giving him wontons, she touched his arm, and her hand actually passed through his arm!
If Shang Wu is not a human, and Fang Qingqing is not a human either! Then these things can be explained very well!
She quickly walked back to Tingfeng Pavilion, where she currently lived, wrote a small note, ran to a corner, tied the note to the leg of a carrier pigeon, and quickly released it...
***
Due to the arrival of Prince Pingnan and Princess Zhan Nishang of Dayun Kingdom, the banquet originally scheduled to be held in Prince Yu's Mansion was changed to the palace after Li Zhenting discussed with Prince Jiajing to express their welcome to Prince Pingnan and Princess Zhan Nishang of Dayun Kingdom.
After all, Dayun Kingdom and Dayan have maintained good diplomatic relations over the years, and Zhan Nishang is the princess most admired by the king of Dayun Kingdom. Naturally, she should be received with a banquet of the highest standards in Dayan to demonstrate Dayan Kingdom's hospitality.
Besides, Zhan Nishang came to treat Ting'er's eye disease. For both public and private reasons, she should be given a grand reception.
"I'm sorry, Miss Xue'er. If it weren't for the busy affairs of the palace recently, I really should have held a banquet to welcome Miss Xue'er..."
Fang Qingqing deliberately informed everyone about the change of the banquet venue before departure.
She noticed that Xue'er was noticeably absent-minded. Combined with her behavior since her arrival, Fang Qingqing felt she was a bit suspicious.
But the problem is that Bai Lianyi swore that she was the adopted daughter of King Pingnan and his sister Xueer, but she couldn't produce any concrete evidence now.
Well, let’s see what role she plays in today’s play!
"Your Highness, you're joking. Since Xue'er came to the palace, not only has she not helped you in the slightest, but she has actually caused you so much trouble. I really feel bad for her. As long as your Highness needs me in any way, please feel free to ask for my help."
Xue'er replied with a sweet smile.
Fang Qingqing smiled and walked up to her, reaching out and holding her hand tightly.
"Xue'er lives up to her name. Her looks and temperament are truly exotic. Compared to the women of the Central Plains, she truly has a unique charm. It's a pity that the prince is now blind and cannot see Miss Xue'er's grace with his own eyes."
As she spoke, she deliberately gave a playful glance at Li Zhenting who was sitting seriously. She knew that this guy would be puzzled when he heard her say this.
The moment she tilted her head and looked back at Li Zhenting, a hint of pride appeared on Xue'er's face. Although this expression was fleeting, it did not escape her eyes.
Haha, Shang Wu had already reported to her every move she made during these days in the palace. After Shang Wu refused the wontons she sent to her that day, she actually secretly dug a hole in the park and dumped the wontons away.
After she left, Shang Wu brought back some wontons and put them in her portable space laboratory for testing. The results surprised her!
The wontons actually contained an abortion drug that could cause the fetus to die!
She controls the dosage of the drug just right, and it will be effective when it accumulates to a certain dose. She can also get away with it after achieving her goal. Who can suspect her?
It really took some thought.
The reason why I have kept her until today is that I want to play the long game and catch a big fish!
"This is a purse made by Xue'er herself. It has the effect of nourishing the spirit. Princess, please don't dislike it..."
With a sweet smile on her face, Xue'er took out an exquisitely crafted purse from her sleeve and respectfully held it in front of Fang Qingqing with both hands.
"Since Miss Xue'er is so kind, I naturally have to stay."
As Fang Qingqing spoke, she reached out and took the purse and put it into her sleeve. In fact, she had already thrown the purse into her personal space.
The purse had a faint floral scent, as if she had smelled it somewhere before. Her intuition told her that this purse must be of great significance, perhaps aimed at her unborn child! Naturally, she couldn't carry it with her!
When the time comes, I will tear off her mask and leave her body to nothing!
