Lan Ke had doubts in her heart, but she deliberately asked: "Are you really willing to give me the chance? Why? Is the eldest prince not good? Or do you not like him?"
Gu Yuying did not answer any of her questions, but said: "If you agree, just take the medicine obediently. I don't have much time and my patience is limited."
Gu Yuying was very careful. Even though this was her place and no one would eavesdrop, she was still very vigilant and refused to give Lan Ke any handle.
Seeing that she didn't answer, Lan Ke asked again: "Why didn't you answer the question just now? Did you agree?"
Gu Yuying gradually became impatient, and her expression became ugly: "Do you want to eat or not?"
"How do I know what's in the bottle? What if it's poisonous? What if I take the medicine and you change your mind? You're willing to give up such a good marriage to me. Don't you think it's too suspicious?"
Gu Yuying became even more impatient with Lan Ke's questioning. She suddenly felt a little regretful. If she had known that this woman was so difficult to deal with, she should not have talked nonsense with her. She should have just given her medicine directly!
Lan Ke saw her angry expression and immediately said, "It's not impossible for me to marry on your behalf, but you have to tell me the reason, right? Otherwise, what if I get caught after I marry you?"
Gu Yuying thought about it and felt that what Lan Ke said made sense, but she still said worriedly: "Take the medicine first, and I will tell you what I should tell you."
When she said this, Gu Yuying felt depressed.
It’s not that she couldn’t find someone else to marry in her place, but she really didn’t have much time, and it was too difficult to find someone more suitable than Lan Ke.
She took a fancy to Lan Ke not only because of her appearance, but more importantly because of her unknown identity.
Lan Ke appeared in the alley at night, and no one else saw her when she brought her back. Even if she was exposed in the end, she could put the blame on Lan Ke, and no one else would be able to find any traces.
This is the most important thing.
If she really wanted to kill someone, Gu Yuying was not sure if she could find the right one.
Because the time was too short, she became cautious.
Lan Ke had been paying attention to Gu Yuying's expression. Seeing her impatience, she knew that she couldn't delay any longer. If she continued to make a scene and refused to take the medicine, Gu Yuying would run out of patience.
What's more, this delicate young lady doesn't seem to have good patience at first glance.
However, she did not directly say that she was willing to take the medicine, but continued to act: "Are you serious? As long as I take the medicine, you will tell me?"
This tells Gu Yuying that she has been bewitched.
Gu Yuying's face really looked much better. She snorted, "Would I, Gu Yuying, lie to you? Hurry up and take the medicine."
She sneered in her heart. As long as she took the medicine, she would never see how this bitch would disobey her!
Lan Ke seemed not to notice the malice in her eyes. She took the porcelain bottle, opened it, and poured out the medicine.
It was a black pill. In addition to the scent of medicine, it also emitted a faint fishy smell that made people nauseous.
There was only this one pill in the entire porcelain bottle. Lan Ke didn't know what it was, but she knew it was definitely not a good medicine and was definitely used to control people.
Seeing her looking at the pill, Gu Yuying suddenly became anxious: "Didn't you say you were willing to take the medicine? Why don't you take it?"
Lan Ke found it funny. After Gu Yuying came in, she kept acting like a young lady and never took her seriously, as if she was an ant on the ground that could be crushed to death at will.
But now, Gu Yuying was actually afraid. Was she afraid that she would find out the clues about the pill
She picked up the pill and pretended to put it in her mouth, but she was actually secretly putting it into the system and asked Babao to help check the ingredients.
To make it more realistic, she deliberately frowned and swallowed, as if she had already swallowed the pill.
There is absolutely no way she would eat something of unknown origin.
Gu Yuying had no doubts.
When she brought Lan Ke back, she asked the maid to search her body, but she did not find any storage magic tools or weapons, not even a needle.
So she never thought that Lan Ke could hide the pills.
Gu Yuying has been known as a pampered girl since she was a child and is extremely conceited. Naturally, she would never have thought that Lan Ke would dare to act under her nose.
Even though she thought Lan Ke was difficult to deal with, she never thought that Lan Ke would have the courage to pretend to obey her.
As a result, she was deceived by Lan Ke.
Seeing that Lan Ke had taken the medicine, Gu Yuying felt much more relieved and began to talk to her about some things.
For example, although the eldest prince is the queen's legitimate son, he cannot practice cultivation and is not valued in the royal family.
For example, the Gu family is one of the four major families in Beijing and is very powerful, so even the royal family has to give them some face.
For example, Gu Yuying is extremely talented and her future achievements are limitless.
She said all this to hint to Lan Ke that she should not think of joining the eldest prince, as the eldest prince could not protect her at all. If she wanted to live well, she should work for her obediently.
Lan Ke listened carefully, but secretly wondered how much truth there was in Gu Yuying's words.
Unexpectedly, Gu Yuying laughed strangely while talking: "How did you feel after taking the pill just now?"
Lan Ke became alert instantly and kept thinking of countermeasures.
Gu Yuying was really careful enough to test her even now! This woman was really cunning. She deliberately spoke when she was off guard, obviously trying to test her true reaction.
If she really took the medicine, she could tell me how she felt. But if she didn't take the medicine and wanted to make it up, her reaction would definitely be a beat slower.
Fortunately, she was well prepared.
Lan Ke secretly thanked him, frowned deliberately, and pretended to be very uncomfortable: "Don't you know your medicine best? Why are you asking me?"
Ever since she "took" the pill, she had been frowning and pretending to be uncomfortable, which made sense now.
Gu Yuying was indeed hesitant, unable to tell whether Lan Ke had really taken the medicine or was lying.
She had just made a sudden attempt, after all, the matter was of great importance, and she did not dare to take it lightly. But looking at Lan Ke's reaction, it didn't seem like she was pretending.
She thought about it, but still insisted, "I asked you a question, you just answer it, why are you talking nonsense?"
She said this in a very dissatisfied tone. As long as Lan Ke knew the current situation, she would naturally know what to do.
Lan Ke was getting nervous when she suddenly heard Babao say, "Ake, we found out that this is a highly poisonous substance. After being poisoned, there will be no marks on the body, but there will be pain in the heart."
"How long does it take for the effect to take effect after taking it?"
"It should be working now."
Lan Ke instantly understood why Gu Yuying came to test her at that time. She thought that was the time when she would have a fit.
"Babao, make my face paler, and it would be better if I could sweat a little more." As she gave Babao the order, she frowned in pain, covered her chest and slowly fell down, looking at Gu Yuying weakly, "You... what on earth did you give me to eat?"
