The poisoned needle was something she had meticulously prepared, pouring countless thoughts into its creation.
She had hidden the needle in her palm, planning to strike like a ghost when Yun Qingyu was off guard, plunging this deadly weapon into her. However, an unexpected turn of events led to her own misfortune; it was truly a case of losing the chicken while trying to steal the rice, reaping what she had sown.
The Sixth Princess's face turned as pale as a blank sheet of paper, devoid of color. Beads of sweat rolled down her forehead like pearls on a broken string, cascading down her cheeks and soaking her clothes.
Her maid stood nearby, terrified and sweating profusely, her lips trembling slightly. In a flurry, she hastily pulled out an Antidote Pill from her Medicine Pouch, nearly spilling the entire pouch in her panic.
The Sixth Princess trembled as she reached out to take the bitter black pill, furrowing her brow. The acrid taste twisted her features as she tilted her head back and swallowed the pill, feeling it roll down her throat.
After a moment to recover, she gritted her teeth and said, "It was my carelessness. I never expected that wretched Yun Qingyu would be so resilient. These past few days have been nothing but misfortune; it's as if I've capsized in a gutter, repeatedly falling into Yun Qingyu's traps. I cannot let this grudge go unavenged!"
Her eyes sparkled with vengeful light, as if they could ignite the air around her. Her fists clenched tightly, knuckles turning white as she concentrated all her hatred into that single gesture.
The maid remained silent for a moment, worry flashing in her eyes as she cautiously regarded the Sixth Princess. She bit her lip and said, "In my humble opinion, Your Highness should avoid confronting the Seventh Princess directly."
As she spoke, she observed the Sixth Princess's expression with a hint of trepidation.
The Sixth Princess frowned deeply and replied darkly, "Leave it to others to deal with her? Hmph!"
With a cold snort filled with disdain, she continued, "Now everyone in court avoids her like she's poison; who would dare confront her?"
Her tone was laced with contempt and anger, her body trembling slightly like an enraged lion.
The maid smiled slightly, the corners of her mouth lifting just a bit, a glint of cunning flashing in her eyes as she whispered, "I just learned that Consort Duan intends to marry the Seventh Princess off to..."
She deliberately paused, blinking her eyes and observing the reaction of the Six Princess.
"Just before Your Highness met the Seventh Princess, she encountered Ling Jing, the legitimate son of the Ling Family's second branch, in the palace and gave him quite a harsh warning," the maid continued, gesturing with her hands as she spoke.
Yun Yiling's eyes widened in surprise, her brows knitting together as she squinted. "Marrying Yun Qingyu to Ling Jing? What a strange match! Yun Qingyu is already difficult to control; perhaps Consort Duan is worried that her daughter is too unruly and won't listen to her, which is why she's come up with this idea."
She analyzed thoughtfully, her fingers lightly tapping on the table.
"But the Seventh Princess will definitely refuse this marriage. This will inevitably create a rift between mother and daughter. As the rift grows, over time, they will naturally turn against each other."
The maid nodded in agreement, continuously affirming her words.
The Six Princess listened in silence, a glimmer of light flashing in her eyes as she secretly calculated in her mind.
This way, there would be room for breathing and manipulation between them.
Seeing this reaction, the maid smiled again and said, "The Seventh Princess is currently at the height of her power and quite domineering; after a while, she will surely lose her influence. Your Highness only needs to watch as she continues to make enemies."
Her eyes sparkled with calculating light, resembling wolf eyes in the night, as if she could already envision Yun Qingyu falling into a predicament, a smug smile spreading across her face.
