LOVE OR DESTINY

98

He then began discussing Lian Cheng's injuries and took advantage of this opportunity to make an opportunity for Qing Yun to be with Lian Cheng by asking Qing Yun to look after Lian Cheng for her sake. He could learn from Tan Er who had been taking care of Lian Cheng all this time.

Xiao Tan was obviously jealous. Lian Cheng secretly tried to calm her down by patting Xiao Tan's hand, but Xiao Tan resentfully rebuked her while throwing a sharp glare at her.

As the wine he poured for Xiao Tan ran out, a servant came out to pick up the refill.Accidentally, Pan Er came out and waited for the servant to return. As soon as he saw the waiter coming, Pan Er deliberately walked towards him and pretended to accidentally bump into him and fall over.

Pan Er pretended to be angry then told the waiter to put down the wine pot and go get the medicine for his leg.

Frightened, the servant left. Pan Er then quickly took out a bottle of poison from inside her shirt and poured it into the wine jar.

Pan Er returned shortly afterwards and smiled cunningly as the waiter placed his wine pitcher on Xiao Tan's desk. He immediately got up while carrying his wine glass.

The suspicious Yi Huai, directly prevented it. But Pan Er assures that she has made peace with Xiao Tan. Yi Huai finally let her approach Tan Er.

Pan Er reasoned to regret his mistake first which had made Tan Er suffer a lot. And hence, now he invited Xiao Tan to a toast.

"In the future, let's live in harmony."

But Xiao Tan and Lian Cheng looked suspiciously at each other, clearly doubting Pan Er's good intentions. The waiter poured his wine, but Xiao Tan hesitated to touch it.

"Why? Are you not willing to forgive me?"

"It's just one cup. It shouldn't be a problem. Do you really want to see me look bad in front of everyone?"

Lian Cheng who did not believe it in the slightest, firmly asked Pan Er not to force Tan Er because Tan Er was not feeling well. Pan Er was obviously upset not knowing what else to do.

Qing Yun who was completely unsuspecting Pan Er's good intentions, thought of helping Xiao Tan alone.

After all, this event was his goal so that he could make up with Xiao Tan. That way, Lian Cheng would look at him differently later on.

Without a second thought, he simply picked up Xiao Tan's wine and drank it before Pan Er and Tan Er could even stop him. Pan Er, Tan Er, and Lian Cheng were in a panic.

The poison reacted very quickly. At that instant Qing Yun collapsed and blood flowed from his mouth. The Queen Mother and the others were panicking, clearly not expecting it to be this way.

Realizing his imminent death, Qing Yuan touched Lian Cheng's face. "Thank God, it wasn't you (who drank the poison)..." Qing Yun died instantly.

The Queen Mother frantically ordered to call the palace physician. But Lian Cheng checked his pulse and told everyone that Qing Yun had already died from poisoning.

The Queen Mother suddenly let out an angry scream at the culprit, daring to kill Qing Yun before her eyes. Eunuch Li immediately seized the opportunity to accuse Xiao Tan of being the culprit.
