Chapter 280: A Lesson
"Princess, what do you mean..."
When Qiuju heard this, a vicious smile appeared on her face.
"That's right, I'm going to let you go. If you mess with me, Lin Wanqing, there will be no good end!"
As Lin Wanqing spoke, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Su Qiao, just wait and see, I will never let you have an easy time in the palace!
"Pei'er, come closer and listen."
Lin Wanqing waved to the maid Pei'er beside her.
Upon hearing this, Pei'er hurried to Lin Wanqing's side and listened attentively.
Lin Wanqing whispered a few words in Pei'er's ear, then patted her shoulder.
"Remember?"
"Remember, Princess."
Pearl nodded, a hint of viciousness flashing in her eyes.
"Okay, go ahead then. Remember to do it neatly and don't leave any traces."
Lin Wanqing instructed.
"Yes, princess."
After Pearl finished speaking, she turned and left the room.
……
Su Qiaoer rested in the room for a while and felt a little hungry.
She glanced at the sky outside the window and found that it had darkened.
She got up and prepared to find something to eat.
However, as soon as she walked out of the room, she sensed a dangerous aura.
She looked around vigilantly and found that everything was quiet and there was nothing unusual.
Su Qiaoer's heart tightened, danger was approaching.
She quickly quickened her pace, wanting to return to her room.
But it's too late.
"Auntie Su, it's so late, where do you want to go?"
A cold voice sounded, and then a black shadow rushed out from the darkness, blocking Su Qiaoer's way.
Su Qiaoer looked closely and found that the person standing in front of her was Lin Wanqing's personal maid Pei'er.
"Pearl, what do you want to do?"
Su Qiaoer shouted in a deep voice.
Pei'er is Lin Wanqing's confidante. She definitely has no good intentions when she suddenly appears here.
"Hmph, what are you doing? Aunt Su, you've targeted my princess many times. My princess has already told me that I must teach you a lesson!"
As Pei'er spoke, a fierce look appeared on her face.
She held a packet of medicine powder in her hand and quietly approached Su Qiaoer.
Seeing this, Su Qiaoer was shocked and wanted to retreat, but it was too late.
Pei'er took a step forward, pinched Su Qiao'er's nose, and forced the powder into her mouth.
When Su Qiaoer took the medicine powder into her mouth, she immediately felt a bitter taste.
She wanted to spit it out, but Pearl covered her mouth tightly.
"Uh...uh..."
Su Qiaoer made an indistinct whimpering sound but could not utter a word.
After Pei'er finished drinking the medicine powder, she clapped her hands and sneered, "Auntie Su, this is just a small lesson.
"My princess said that if you behave yourself and stop causing her trouble, you'll be able to speak in a couple of days."
"Otherwise... humph, don't even think about speaking again in this life!"
After saying that, Pearl turned and left, disappearing into the darkness.
Su Qiaoer collapsed on the ground, feeling a burning pain in her throat.
She opened her mouth and wanted to speak, but could only make a "ho ho" sound and couldn't utter a word.
She was filled with fear and despair and didn't understand why she was treated like this.
She just wanted to survive, why was it so difficult?
Su Qiaoer struggled to stand up from the ground and wanted to go back to her room to get some water.
However, as soon as she stood up, she felt dizzy and was about to fall.
She quickly held onto the door frame next to her and managed to stand firmly.
She knew in her heart that it was the powder that Pearl had given her that was working.
She suppressed her dizziness and walked to the door of the room, but found that the door was closed and she couldn't open it at all.
"Ho ho!"
Su Qiaoer knocked on the door hard, but the sound was extremely weak.
She couldn't make a sound at all, and even if people outside heard her, they probably wouldn't care.
Su Qiaoer knocked on the door hard, but it remained closed.
She was filled with fear and despair and didn't know what to do.
She took a deep breath and slammed the door hard.
"Oh!"
The door shook violently but did not open.
Su Qiaoer didn't give up and continued to bang on the door hard.
Finally, after she knocked hard a few times, the door opened with a click.
Su Qiaoer was delighted and hurried in to find some water to drink.
However, when she walked in, she found the room empty.
Her heart tightened and she felt something was wrong.
She looked everywhere quickly but found nothing.
Just then, her personal maid Xiao Cui rushed in from outside the door.
"Auntie, what's wrong with you? Why aren't you talking?"
Xiao Cui asked in surprise when she saw Su Qiaoer's expression.
She just heard the sound of banging on the door and rushed over.
As a result, he saw Su Qiaoer standing at the door, with her mouth open but unable to speak, and he was very confused.
When Su Qiaoer saw Xiao Cui, she felt like she had grabbed a life-saving straw. She held Xiao Cui's hand tightly, pointed at her mouth and shouted "ho ho".
Seeing this, Xiao Cui was shocked. She looked at Su Qiaoer's mouth shape and it seemed that she was saying "medicine... medicine..."
She immediately realized that Su Qiaoer had been drugged and could not speak.
"Auntie, don't worry, I'll find you an antidote!" Xiao Cui said, turning around and about to run out.
However, as soon as she ran to the door, she bumped into someone.
"what!"
Xiao Cui screamed and fell to the ground.
She looked down and found that the person she bumped into was Lin Wanqing.
"Princess...why are you here?"
When Xiao Cui saw Lin Wanqing, she panicked and quickly knelt on the ground to pay her respects.
Lin Wanqing glanced at Xiao Cui, then walked to Su Qiaoer. When she saw Su Qiaoer's expression, she understood a little bit.
"Auntie Su, why are you silent?"
Lin Wanqing sneered and asked Su Qiaoer.
Su Qiaoer opened her mouth and wanted to speak, but could only make a "ho ho" sound.
Seeing this, Lin Wanqing nodded with satisfaction: "Madam Su was so frightened that she temporarily lost her voice. Call the doctor quickly."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Cui quickly got up from the ground and ran outside to call a doctor.
Lin Wanqing walked up to Su Qiaoer and looked at her with a cold look in her eyes: "Aunt Su, do you know you are wrong?"
When Su Qiaoer heard this, she was shocked. She didn't know what Lin Wanqing was talking about.
However, she knew that she was now under someone else's control and could only nod obediently.
Seeing this, Lin Wanqing smiled with satisfaction: "Auntie Su, you must be obedient, otherwise I can't guarantee your safety."
After saying that, Lin Wanqing turned and left.
Xiao Cui came in with the doctor.
The doctor took Su Qiao'er's pulse, his face changed, and he said, "Princess, Aunt Su has been poisoned."
