Chapter 91 - The Token

 After returning to the Mo Chu courtyard from the boudoir, Nangong Yue quickly instructed Yi Mei: "You go and summon Que’er."

    " Miss Third ......" Yimei wanted to say something but stopped.

 Nangong Yue sensed that Yimei should have something to say, so she straightened her face and asked, "What is it?"

    Yi Mei suddenly took a few steps forward and closed the door, then walked back to Nangong Yue's side. She took out a gold-encrusted jade medallion the size of a dragon's eye and a note from her waist and whispered,"Miss Third, just now when I was at the Jing Xing Residence, I went to the clean room and the little maid who was cleaning there slipped me this note, saying that ...... said it was from Rong Gongzi." Her face didn't look too good, that Rong Gongzi really has a lot of hands and feet, he actually put someone in the Nangong Mansion.

 Nangong Yue was also displeased, but still took the jade plaque and the note.

It is a piece of white jade with gold ornaments, the jade is exquisite, pure white, delicate and warm, the surface of the gold wire outlining the cloud pattern, the pattern is delicate and regular, not ordinary products.

    As for what the note said, Nangong Yue had already guessed it.

 Last night, when she went to the Shallow Cloud Courtyard to have dinner with her parents and brother. She heard her father, Nangong Mu, mention that the Third Prince had argued in the Upper Study Room yesterday and even the Emperor had been alerted, and the Third Prince had been punished by the Emperor for three days.

At that time, she was astonished, but she also felt that there were some justifiable reasons. The wise and resourceful Guan Yubai was not just a name after all, no wonder he was able to work with Xiao Yi to finally destroy the imperial dynasty in his previous life!

    The note reads: ‘I have done what you asked me to do.’

    Nangong Yue put the note on the candle flame and burned it, her eyes flickering. Indeed, when she made that request, she intended to make things difficult for Guan Yubai, because although the benefits he offered were tempting, for her, it was too risky to seek the skin of a tiger!

But she never thought he would really do what she had asked, and so quickly!

    Even though she was a woman, she knew that a promise was a promise that could not be kept, and since he had done it, she would not change her mind at the last minute.

    On the other hand, her mind had also changed at the moment.

    This man has the ability to turn the clouds into rain, so it might be worthwhile to befriend him ...... even if she has to take a big risk ......

In the middle of her thoughts, Nangong Yue laid out a piece of paper with ink and pens and wrote a note quickly, then handed it to Yi Mei: "Tomorrow, you should find an opportunity to give this to that maid."

"Yes." Yi Mei respectfully replied, and then asked, "Miss Third, do you want to summon Que’er?"

    Nangong Yue nodded, and Yimei retreated in response, immediately summoning Que’er to come.

    Que’er ran in quickly and said, "Miss Third."

    "Que’er, come here." Nangong Yue beckoned her hand and let Que’er come closer, then whispered a few instructions in her ear.

Que’er's eyes almost fell out of her head in shock, for the third girl had instructed her to inquire about Ping Biaogu's change of clothes. Although she was puzzled, Que’er still answered.

    Nangong Yue took a few silver nuggets and gave them to Que’er: "Take these, and do your job well."

    "Yes, Miss Third."

    After que’er had left, Nangong Yue went to the desk and wrote a list again ...... after blowing it dry, and then asked Yimei to call An Niang in.

"Miss Third." An Niang picked the curtain and entered the inner room, looking at Nangong Yue with a smile.

    "Mama, take this list and help me go to the pharmacy to get medicine, don't let anyone know." Nangong Yue handed the piece of paper she had just written in her hand to An Niang.

 An Niang took it, bowed and answered, and hurriedly went out to do her work ......

That night, Nangong Yue used the herbs that An Niang had brought to make a few small pills.

It was already dark as ink, under the flickering candlelight, Nangong Yue held the pills and smiled faintly.

On the next day, Nangong Yue went to the Jingxing Residence after greeting Su Shi in accordance with her usual routine, at which time, Su Qingping had already arrived and was quietly sitting in her seat.

    Nangong Yue greeted her with a smile, "Good day, Ping Biaogu."

    Su Qingping elegantly stood up, a smile on her face: "Yue Jie Er." is here."

"Today, Ping Biaogu is dressed beautifully!" Nangong Yue looked Su Qingping up and down. Today she was wearing a scarlet gown of dark silver peony and a red jade coral hairpin in her hair, which made her face look like a hibiscus, and she looked much better than yesterday, as if she had taken some miracle medicine, glowing.

Nangong Yue's heart lightly snorted: looking at the situation it is likely that the fourth uncle has already looked for Su Qingping, maybe give her some kind of promise ...... but do not know how fragile men's promises are!

Su Qingping heard the words heart can't help but be a little smug. The dress she wore today was cut from cloudy brocade, which was specially found by the fourth cousin from Jiangnan and given to her. When she thought of her lover, Su Qingping's heart was as sweet as honey and her cheeks were flushed.

 When she saw her expression, Nangong Yue could not guess what she was thinking, and she laughed coldly in her heart: did Su Qingping really think that Nangong Cheng could marry her?

    At this time, Nangong Heng, Nangong Yan and Nangong Lin also entered the Jingxing Residence one after another, and when they saw Nangong Yue and Su Qingping talking together, they also gathered around.

    "Ping Biaogu, Yue Jie Er." Nangong Heng had a light smile on her face as she walked over, "What are you talking about, are you so happy?"

 Nangong Yue smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just saw that Ping Biaogu's clothes were beautiful, so I said a few more words."

    Nangong Heng looked at Su Qingping's clothes, a trace of consternation flashed in her eyes, and then she also praised her, "Yes, it is beautiful, Ping Biaogu is wearing this outfit today, she is really more delicate than a flower."

    When Su Qingping heard that even Nangong Heng had praised her, she was even happier.

Nangong Yan wanted to say something, but Nangong Lin was not convinced, and looked up and down at Su Qingping, and when she did, she exclaimed, "Huh? I'm not mistaken, the clothes on Ping Biaogu's body are cloudy brocade ......"

There is a proud look on Su Qingping's face, but the next moment, she could not help but panic, only to hear Nangong Lin said with an envious face: "It must be a gift from grandmother."

 Su Qingping regretted in her heart: she was so intent on wearing it to show off, but she forgot that this cloud brocade was worth a lot of money and could easily arouse suspicion.

"Eldest Jiejie." Nangong Lin looked at Nangong Heng with a curious face, "Grandmother gave Ping Biaogu a peony pattern, what about Big jiejie, what pattern is it? Can you show it to meimei?"

 Nangong heng's smile remained unchanged as he said, "Fourth meimei, you may have misunderstood, grandmother did not send me the Cloud Mist Brocade."

"How is that possible?" Nangong Lin naturally did not believe it, " The House has brought in the Cloud Mist Jin, no one can be missing without the eldest jiejie!"

Even Su Qingping has one, so there is no reason why Su Shi would forget about Nangong Heng, her favoured eldest granddaughter. What's more, Zhao Shi is in charge of the house, and even if Su doesn't give it to her, there's still Zhao Shi!

Hearing this, Su Qingping was so anxious that her forehead was sweating. Whether the Nangong House had brought in cloud mist brocade or not she was not sure, the problem was that the one she was wearing was not from Su Shi at all. If this is really examined in detail, it can't stand up to scrutiny...... helplessly, she could only say in a stiff tone: " This is not a gift from my aunt Cloud Mist Jin, I brought it from home."

    Nangong Lin raised her eyebrows and tsked in amazement: "It is said that this cloud mist brocade peony pattern has arrived in Wangdu for less than half a month, but I didn't expect that Ping Biaogu's hometown has become popular even faster than Wangdu."

Su Qingping's face turned pale as she regretted her lack of thoughtfulness and blamed Nangong Lin for being so talkative and causing her trouble, causing her to rack her brains to find a way to round up the lies again.

" Ping Biaogu," Nangong Yue looked at her with a worried face, "What's wrong with you? You don't look well, are you not feeling well?"

Su Qingping simply used the opportunity to change the subject: "Yue Jie Er, I have nothing ...... but when I got up in the morning, my head was a little dizzy." She said she pretended to look uncomfortable, and her body shook twice.

Nangong Yue took the opportunity to step forward, pretending to help her with concern. Before anyone could see, a silver needle slipped out from Nangong Yue's fingertips, and when Su Qingping was unprepared, she stuck a needle in one of the acupuncture points on her back quickly.

Su Qingping only felt a wave of dizziness come over her, her body went limp and she instantly passed out.

    Nangong Yue hurriedly held Su Qingping's upper body and anxiously shouted to Liu Rong, "Quick! Why don't you hurry up and help Ping Biaogu to sit down!"

Liurong rushed over and helped Nangong Yue support Su Qingping to lean back on the seat.

Nangong Heng instructed her maid Shuxiang to call for a doctor, and Shuxiang hurriedly followed the order.

Nangong Yue made a worried look on her face and said, " Now this is not the way to go, Liu Rong, do you have any tonic pills?"

    Liu Rong hurriedly said, "Yes, the old Furen gave some last time."

    "Why don't you go and fetch them, and give one to Ping Biaogu first." Nangong Yue glanced at her and said.

    When Liurong saw her own young lady suddenly fainting, she was already at a loss for words, now she naturally did whatever Nangong Yue said, and hurriedly fetched the pill and handed it to Nangong Yue.

Nangong Yue did not make a sound and replaced the vial of raw nutrient pills with the pills she had prepared yesterday, and fed them to Su Qingping.

    In a short while, Su Qingping woke up quietly.

    "Ping Biaogu, it's good that you've woken up!" Nangong Yue looked relieved, "We were scared to death, big sister has sent Shuxiang to get a doctor."

Nangong Heng also looked concerned: "Ping Biaogu, when the doctor arrives, let the doctor take a good look at you ......"

"No need!" Su Qingping interrupted Nangong Heng's words in a slight panic, "Why bother, I'm already well, there's no need to hire a doctor." She hastily ordered Liurong, "Liurong, go and stop Shuxiang, tell her that I'm fine and don't need a doctor. I don't want people to make a trip for nothing.”

At this time, Liu Rong also immediately reacted and hurriedly said, "Slave servant is on her way." Saying that, she ran out of the Jingxing Residence like a gust of wind.

Su Qingping said to the crowd, "Heng Jie Er, Yue Jie Er, I'm really fine, don't worry ...... class is about to start. Everyone sits down quickly."

Now that the person in question has said this, the girls look at each other and have no choice but to sit back in their seats one by one.
