In my past life, I was buried alive! Reborn, I'll overturn the capital.

Chapter 128 Operation Failure

Jiang Qingyue stared intently at Qin Jinghao, a half-smile playing on her lips, as if trying to see into his heart through his eyes.

Could Jiang Qingyue have figured something out? That's impossible!

"Sister, things have already come to this, can you please give me another chance?"

Jiang Chuchu looked pleading, as always.

Jiang Qingyue really admired her thick skin; how could she always be so shameless?

She sneered, "What if I say no?"

Jiang Qingyue noticed that Qin Jinghao and Jiang Chuchu's expressions both stiffened.

"Miss Jiang, please give me some face, okay?" Qin Jinghao didn't expect that he had underestimated Jiang Qingyue; she wasn't as naive as he had thought.

These two sisters are really good at pretending.

Taking the opportunity, Jiang Chuchu poured Jiang Qingyue a glass of wine, saying, "Sister, let me toast you."

Jiang Qingyue watched the two of them working together, and she knew perfectly well that there was something fishy about this wine.

"I'm sorry, I can't hold my liquor," Jiang Qingyue refused directly.

Jiang Chuchu held up her drink, feeling awkward and unsure whether to drink it or not.

“Miss Jiang, Chu Chu is already like this, please give her a chance. It’s just a glass of wine!” Sun Yueyue, Jiang Chu Chu’s good friend and the one arranged by the Crown Prince, chimed in from the side.

"What, are you going to force people to drink?" Jiang Qingyue showed no respect, and Qin Jinghao couldn't get involved any further, so the situation became somewhat awkward.

The commotion attracted the attention of others.

Everyone's eyes turned to look.

Seeing this, Qin Jinghao could only pretend to scold Jiang Chuchu, "Alright, if others don't want to drink, why force them? Just change it to tea. You're really being inconsiderate."

Then, Qin Jinghao said to Jiang Qingyue, "I'm sorry, Miss Jiang, Chu Chu has been spoiled by me and is a bit immature. If she doesn't want to drink, I won't force her."

Jiang Chuchu quickly changed her attitude, "Yes, yes, where is it? Since you can't hold your liquor, let's switch to tea, or use tea instead of wine."

Jiang Qingyue knew that today, they were determined to harm her.

If this move fails, they will surely have other tricks up their sleeves, which will be impossible to defend against.

Jiang Qingyue took the tea from Jiang Chuchu's hand. "I've drunk the tea, but between us, it's impossible to turn hostility into friendship. Let's part ways here."

Jiang Qingyue didn't want to get involved with them any further, so she turned around and left.

Qin Jinghao winked at Sun Yueyue, who was standing next to Jiang Chuchu, and Sun Yueyue followed him out without making a sound.

Jiang Qingyue, who had already left, soon noticed that someone was following her. So she deliberately walked quickly towards the complex terrain of the artificial hill, making several turns and quickly leaving the other person far behind.

Once they were alone, Jiang Qingyue took out her silver needles and pricked her acupoints several times. Then, she vomited a mouthful of tea and immediately took out a pill and swallowed it.

Although she was prepared, this aphrodisiac was not a true poison. Even if she vomited it out, it couldn't be completely eliminated. If she hadn't prepared an antidote and a pill made from the flower of extreme cold, she might have actually been poisoned.

Sun Yueyue felt a little panicked when she realized she had lost track of Jiang Qingyue.

After all, the Crown Prince had promised her that if she could handle this matter well, he would allow her to enter the Eastern Palace. In the end, she managed to mess up such a simple thing.

Left with no other choice, they could only slink back and report.

When he returned, he found that the Crown Prince had been surrounded by a group of court officials, who seemed to be discussing something.

She wanted to go forward and report it, but with so many people around, she couldn't and could only stand aside anxiously.

Sun Yueyue waited patiently for Qin Jinghao to look at her so she could give him a hint, but after waiting for a long time, Qin Jinghao's gaze did not turn around.

Just as Sun Yueyue was about to step forward, Qin Jinghao turned his head.

Sun Yueyue immediately shook her head at Qin Jinghao, indicating that her operation had failed.

Qin Jinghao's smiling face instantly fell.

"Your Highness, what's wrong? Has something happened?"

A courtier standing nearby quickly noticed Qin Jinghao's unusual expression and hurriedly inquired about it.

Qin Jinghao shook his head. "It's nothing."

Because he was delayed by the court officials, by the time Qin Jinghao finished and came back, the banquet was almost over.

Qin Jinghao walked over and said in a low voice, "What exactly happened? You can't even handle this simple matter!"

"Your Highness, I don't know why Jiang Qingyue went towards the artificial hill. She wandered around and around, and I lost her completely." Sun Yueyue looked guilty and disappointed.

"Useless things!"

Qin Jinghao had been so confident, but then this mishap happened, so he had no choice but to immediately send someone to secretly find Jiang Qingyue.

At the same time, he suspected that Jiang Qingyue might know something; otherwise, why would she keep heading towards the artificial hill? If that were the case, it would be troublesome. But no one knew about this except for himself and his father…

Thinking of this, Qin Jinghao still felt a little uneasy.

At this moment, Jiang Qingyue knew that Qin Jinghao would definitely not let it go and would send people to find her, so she safely hid in the artificial hill.

As the banquet drew to a close, Jiang Qingyue, listening to the approaching sounds outside, guessed that the banquet should be coming to an end soon.

Just as Jiang Qingyue was about to get up, she heard a noise in the distance and squatted back down.

Qin Jinghao's men searched the surrounding area, but because Jiang Qingyue was hiding in a deep place, and there was a hole blocking her view, they didn't notice her at all during their search.

Furthermore, the banquet had ended quickly, and many people were already walking in this direction. They could no longer continue their search, so they had no choice but to turn around and leave.

At that moment, as everyone filed out, Jiang Qingyue quickly blended into the crowd and slipped out with them.

As for finding them? Let Qin Jinghao and the others take their time!

They want to force things to become a fait accompli, but they only ever know these two tricks. It's really boring.

At this moment, Qin Jinghao, who had just seen off the guests, discovered that his men had not found any trace of Jiang Qingyue, which made him even more agitated.

What a cunning little fox! Jiang Qingyue, I will not let you get away with this!

"Your Highness, I'm sorry, it's my fault. Please give me another chance!" Sun Yueyue knelt before Qin Jinghao.

"You can't even handle such a small matter, you're useless. Don't ever appear before me again!"

"Your Highness, I beg you to give me another chance, Your Highness!"

However, she was met with Qin Jinghao's indifferent back.

Jiang Qingyue, it's all your fault!

Sun Yueyue also came to hate Jiang Qingyue because of this.

Jiang Chuchu originally wanted to find Qin Jinghao, but she overheard his conversation with Sun Yueyue as she arrived at the door.

Jiang Chuchu's expression turned even more unpleasant.

They're both hiding something from me...
