Zhong Jinchun burst into laughter. Sometimes Chu Qiao was just like a little girl, who didn’t look like the legitimate wife of Dantai Yunhan or a Princess at all.
“No, I will always be here for you no matter when you come!”
However, Chu Qiao also noticed that Zhong Jinchun said this with her brows slightly knitted. It seemed that something had happened. So Chu Qiao let her go and patted her on the shoulder.
“You know you can confide in me. It seems that you have run into something troublesome. Don’t worry. As long as I’m here in the Palace, no one can bully you. I’m the Princess and it is not just for show!”
Zhong Jinchun was relieved. She was afraid that Chu Jiao would make a move on her, although she didn’t know what kind of measures Chu Jiao would take, maybe to trying to frame or poison her, which were all possible.
“Attendant Consort Chu Jiao may be about to make a move on me!”
Hearing this, Chu Qiao was shocked. She tolerated the constant persecution from Chu Jiao before, but now, Chu Jiao bullied not only her, but also the people around her, which was too much and infuriated her.
“I have to teach her a lesson!”
Zhong Jinchun was afraid that Chu Qiao would go too far that she hurt herself, so she grabbed her by the arm and whispered.
“She hasn’t done anything yet. Even if you are going after her, there’s no evidence!”
Hearing this, Chu Qiao became calm. She pondered for a while and said to Zhong Jinchun.
“Don’t worry, I know about it. Rest assured. Nothing will happen to you with me here. And I’ll make sure that Chu Jiao’s scheme will never succeed!”
Zhong Jinchun nodded gently. In fact, she believed in Chu Qiao. Chu Qiao delivered everything she had promised Zhong Jinchun, but she couldn’t help asking.
“What should we do next? Do we just sit around and do nothing? ”
Chu Qiao thought for a while, and decided to tell Zhong Jinchun details about her plan, so that perhaps they could cooperate and solve the problem.
“I’ll find out Chu Jiao’s machination, and then we’ll play along, but with our counterplot, which will help her make a fool of herself in public!”
Chu Jiao was tossing and turning while scheming how to frame up Chu Qiao. The only way she could think of was to poison Zhong Jinchun and pin the blame on Chu Qiao. In this way, not only Zhong Jinchun would be exterminated, but Chu Qiao would have no chance to regain her power as well.
“It is such a good opportunity!”
Chu Qiao quickly called in a maid.
“Get me some poison!”
The servant girl was surprised. But even so, she still proceeded to do what she has been asked to.
“Yes, ma’am!”
In the evening, the servant girl sneaked to the edge of the woods. There was a person standing next to her. It was Chu Qiao.
“How is it? Has she figured out how she is going to kill Zhong Jinchun? ”
The servant girl reported to Chu Qiao in whispers.
“In the easiest way, poison!”
Hearing this, Chu Qiao clenched her hands together. Chu Qiao used to think that Chu Jiao was her biological sister, so she would tolerate no matter what she did.
But it seemed that there was no need to put up with her at all, because Chu Jiao didn’t know where to stop. She would only go further and further because nobody stood out to stop her.
“This time, I must make her suffer. Only when she suffers can she start to mind her Ps and Qs!”
The servant girl didn’t dare to speak. All she could do was shivering.
“Your Highness, please have mercy on me!”
Chu Qiao nodded gently. She knew that the servant girl was forced to prepare the poison and if she didn’t do so, she might lose her own life.
“Don’t worry, it has nothing to do with you. I won’t get mad at other people. But I need you to do something for me. After that, I you may leave the Prince Palace!”
Hope and joy rose in the servant girl’s eyes. In fact, all she wanted was to make a living when she entered the Palace. However, the power struggle inside the Palace was even more fierce than before. A slip of mind would lead her down the path to death, maybe even death without a place to rest.
That was why the servant girl had been longing to leave. Now Chu Qiao offered her a chance, so she nodded and said,
“As long as I can leave this Palace, I will do anything for Your Highness, no matter what it takes!”
Hearing this, Chu Qiao sighed with resignation. The Prince Palace was so horrible that people couldn’t live in it!
“Now you just need to replace this bottle of poison with a fake one!”
The servant girl nodded. It was very easy to do what the Princess said.
Having taken care of this, Chu Qiao immediately went to Zhong Jinchun’s room and told her the plan.
“You only need to fake your death. After all, the banquet is prepared by the Prince himself. Chu Jiao will definitely give the game away when something like this happens on such an important occasion. We only need to tell everyone what she has done, then she will no longer be a problem for us!”
Frightened as Jinchun was, she knew that only in this way could they take down Chu Jiao. If not, maybe she would be the next to fall victim to Jiao’s evil deeds!
“I’ll do what you said, but I’m still nervous. I hope this will work. Otherwise, we will both be doomed!”
Chu Qiao nodded. She was very sure that as long as everything went as planned, they could definitely beat Chu Jiao at her own game!
At the moment, the poison was placed on Chu Jiao’s desk when she was questioning her maid.
“Is this the poison you got me? Is it really effective enough of killing? ”
The servant girl seemed terrified, but she nodded.
Chu Jiao scrutinized the poison before she put some in the cup and soon it dissolved. She fed a drop to a mouse she had prepared. Unexpectedly, the mouse died immediately with just one drop of the poisoned water.
Chu Jiao smirked and even praised the maid.
“Well done! If this plan goes smoothly, I will reward you generously! ”
The maid kowtowed.
“Thank you, ma’am!”
Chu Jiao said to the servant girl, “You only need to pour the poison into her cup on that day. But this cup of water has to be given to Princess Chu Qiao. Soon after she takes the Attendant Consorts to propose toasts, Zhong Jinchun will be dead!”
Chu Jiao couldn’t stop smiling at the thought of it. This time, she could finally take down that bitchy Chu Qiao!
