Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Green Grass's idea was good, but its execution was somewhat flawed.

She knew that her young mistress had many servants around her, and it was impossible for her to knock her unconscious or drug her and bring her to the First Prince. So, she lured away the servants from the beginning and took Linlang to the garden to digest her food. This made it much easier to knock her unconscious or drug her.

She had thought of preventing all accidents, but she never considered that the biggest accident was Linlang herself.

As they approached their destination, Qingcao took out a small teacup from the food box she had been carrying and poured Linlang a cup of tea.

In case her mistress gets thirsty while digesting her food, she carried a pot of tea in the food box she was carrying. At this moment, she felt that she had walked a bit far, so she poured a cup of tea and handed it to Linlang.

It looked natural, but it was actually a cup of tea with something added on it, and the addition was naturally given to her by the First Prince.

The eldest prince had wanted to do this for a long time, so the medicine had been prepared long ago.

The eldest prince's medicine was given to him by his mother.

Every woman in the palace has something she can use. Otherwise, would she really go looking for poison on the spot to deal with someone? That would be too hasty.

Linlang accepted the tea that Qingcao offered her with ill intent, pretending not to know anything as she held it to her lips, while simultaneously sending a message to the invisible robot.

The cloaked robot, who had been waiting nearby, opened a bottle of chemical substance. The substance drifted past Qingcao's nose, and she instantly fainted, completely unaware of what was happening. She couldn't even say anything to Linlang, who was sitting at a stone table drinking tea. Qingcao was standing behind her serving her and naturally didn't notice Linlang's expression. She thought Linlang hadn't noticed what had happened to her and had no idea that she had been poisoned by Linlang's people. This way, even if Qingcao was sent away by Linlang afterward, Linlang wouldn't reveal that she was also secretly poisoning people.

Then the robot carried the grass to the vital spot.

When it comes to chemical substances, future humans naturally understand them better. Whether it's poison or drug, future biology and chemistry have evolved to an unknown level, and there's nothing they don't know about.

Of course, these things are not allowed to be purchased or used. It's just that Linlang knew that Qingcao and the First Prince wanted to harm her, so she made some in this world.

These are all basic things, just like how a modern person traveling to ancient times can make soap and glass.

After putting the grass inside, Linlang left without paying any more attention to it.

There's no need to worry that the eldest prince will go in, discover it's Qingcao, realize something's wrong, and leave immediately. Linlang has observed that the place Qingcao arranged is quite dark; even in daylight, it's not very clear.

This is quite normal. In ancient houses, the sleeping rooms were usually quite dark even during the day, and were called dark rooms. This was because there was no glass in ancient times, so the lighting was poor. In order to keep warm in winter, the bedroom windows were not large. The small windows naturally did not provide enough light, so they became dark rooms.

The bed was darker because it was covered by a gauze curtain, making it difficult to see who was in bed.

Because the room was rather dark, Linlang didn't need to knock out the eldest prince as well and leave him there. She only needed to place Qingcao on the bed inside; the prince would mistake her for the woman lying there and would surely act. She just needed to wait for the people Qingcao had sent to catch them in the act. Of course, just in case, Linlang also had a robot guard the room, just in case.

Once the eldest prince realizes something is wrong and runs away, have the robot knock him unconscious and place him next to Green Grass.

Although Linlang left, she didn't go far. Instead, as Qingcao had arranged, she fainted on the ground to the side.

This wasn't that secluded house; people still came and went, and Linlang was quickly discovered.

When Madam Zhou heard that Linlang had fainted, she quickly sent a doctor to treat her.

Madam Zhou initially thought Linlang was ill, but after the doctor examined her, he said that Linlang had been poisoned.

Upon hearing that Linlang had been drugged, Madam Zhou was both shocked and furious. She thought that her daughter was so noble, and the family was counting on her to marry a prince and become empress in the future. Who would want to harm her daughter?

They immediately sent people to investigate the water Linlang drank, and quickly discovered that there was something in it.

Since the tea was given to Linlang by Qingcao, Qingcao was the prime suspect. Madam Zhou immediately sent people to look for Qingcao and to search Qingcao's room.

Qingcao was naive, believing that she was the most trusted by Linlang and that this plan would be 100% successful. After success, she wouldn't have to worry about Linlang daring to expose her poisoning, which meant she wouldn't have to worry about anyone searching her room. So the medicine given by the First Prince was still in her room—mainly because she thought the medicine was so good and couldn't bear to throw it away, wanting to keep it for future use. Thus, Madam Zhou naturally found the medicine that Qingcao had hidden in her room.

Seeing the poison in the grass hut, and considering the reactions of the other servants, it's clear that Qingcao lured them away. Obviously, Qingcao was the one who caused Linlang's fainting this time.

Seeing that Qingcao dared to drug her master, Madam Zhou was furious. Just then, someone saw the First Prince and Qingcao having sex in a secluded courtyard, which made Madam Zhou even angrier.

She couldn't understand the relationship between them. She didn't know why Qingcao wanted to sleep with the First Prince, so why she drugged her daughter. After all, she didn't know that Qingcao drugged Linlang to offer her to the First Prince. She only thought that Qingcao wanted to be with the First Prince herself.

But whatever Qingcao was thinking, it's true that she lured away the people around Linlang, drugged Linlang, abandoned her by the roadside after drugging her, and went off to have fun.

If someone hadn't found her daughter unconscious on the roadside so quickly, what if some man had walked by and dragged her away? What would have happened then!
These were all heinous crimes, so Madam Zhou was naturally furious and immediately sent someone to invite Qingcao over. After all, since she had followed the First Prince, Madam Zhou didn't dare to arrest her as directly as she would her servants. She sent someone to invite her only out of respect for the First Prince.

The eldest prince's curtain was also lifted, and Qingcao woke up and spoke, only then realizing that she was not with Linlang, but with Qingcao.

He was wondering why it didn't seem like he was sharing a room with a virgin earlier; it turned out to be Qingcao. He had thought it was Zhou Linlang, so he joined the crowd to watch, hoping to ruin Zhou Linlang's reputation. But it turned out to be Qingcao. Now, Madam Zhou wanted to summon Qingcao to the front for questioning. The First Prince realized he was in trouble, that he had been set up. He was completely bewildered, wondering who knew about his and Qingcao's plan and had cleverly exposed their affair. (End of Chapter)
