In the kitchen, Liu Qi happily placed the osmanthus cake, green bean cake, tea cake, and other exquisite snacks onto several plates to create a beautiful shape. Then, she placed them one by one onto the tray, preparing to leave, but just as she stepped out of the doorway, she bumped into Merlin.

”Sister Mei? ”Why are you here?” Liu Qi looked at Merlin in surprise and asked.

Merlin smiled: ”I'll bring you some tea!”

”Or was it sister who thought it through? Otherwise, I will have to run twice! ” Hearing that her elder sister had come to help her carry some tea, Liu Qi's small face was immediately filled with gratitude.

”Sister Liu Qi, don't you call me sister Merlin? Isn't it natural for this sister to help her?” Go! Don't let the wangfei wait too long! ” Merlin said gently while patting Liu Qi on the shoulder.

”Alright then!” I'll be leaving first, Sister! ”

Merlin looked at the back of Liu Qi who was getting further and further away. His eyes shot out a cold and sharp ray of light. After sweeping his gaze around the kitchen and discovering that there was no one around, Merlin quickly entered the kitchen.

As soon as he entered the kitchen, Merlin immediately saw the teapot that Liu Qi had prepared. He opened the lid and found that the tea leaves had also been set down. A strange smile appeared on Merlin's face. He picked up the gourd from the pot, poured the boiling water into the teapot and sealed it. Then he took out three cups, light green, light pink and white, from the wooden cabinet where the teapot was placed and placed them on a tray.

After finishing all this, Merlin took out the bottle of Silver Ring Poison he had prepared earlier. He opened the bottle and poured it into the silk handkerchief he had pulled from his waist. He then carried the tea out of the kitchen with a satisfied expression.

Arriving at the back garden, he saw Qi Wan County and Liu Qi talking and laughing, and thought about how Qi Wan County had treated him well in the past. Merlin's heart seemed to waver a little. However, when he thought about the fact that his parents and brother were still in the hands of the crown prince, he let out a long sigh and walked to the front of the two of them with a calm expression and put down the teapot in his hands.

”I wonder which one big sister would like to use, these three beautiful cups?” Merlin smiled and asked softly.

”Of course it's pink. Is this a cup specially made by the prince for the princess?” Before Qi Ning could say anything, she was snatched away by Liu Qi.

Qi Wanshi pretended to be angry as he glanced at her. ”You talk too much!” However, her heart was filled with joy. Liu Qi was right, this pink cup was really Qi Wanli's favorite, and it was also what her senior sister Qing Mo Xue had purposely revealed to Yu Ling Jing. Every time she thought of this, her heart was as sweet as if she had eaten honey. The so-called happiness was only this much.

Merlin glanced at Qi Shu. From the subtle changes in her expression, Merlin could tell that Liu Qi wasn't lying. Qi Ling really did like pink cups.

Thus, Merlin picked up the teapot and poured the tea into the teapot before placing it in front of each of them. Qi Wanxian picked up a cinnamon cake and put it in his mouth. It was sweet and delicious, with an endless aftertaste. After eating the cinnamon cake, Qi Shuren picked up the pink cup of tea that was placed in front of her. Just as she was about to take a sip of tea, she suddenly placed the cup in front of her mouth.

”Aiya! How depressing! Let me help you change a glass of wine, sister! ” Merlin, who had been watching Qi Lang, said as he took the cup from Qi Wan.

After receiving the teacup, a cold ray of light shot out from within Merlin's clear black and white phoenix eyes, quickly splashing the dirty tea onto the ground. ”Grabbing her own silk handkerchief, she carefully wiped the cup clean before pouring another cup of tea for Qi Wan.” Elder sister, please come in! ”

Qi Wanjun faintly smiled and received the cup. ”Thank you, sister!”

”Elder sister is being too polite!” Merlin said, but his eyes were still fixed on the pink cup that Qi Wan County was holding, watching her drink the tea one by one.

Liu Qi, who was at the side, was eating delicious snacks and drinking fragrant tea, seemingly unaware of all that had happened. When Liu Qi managed to react, Qi Shun was already lying on the ground. Looking at her uncle-master who was still fine a moment ago, her face turned dark and her lips turned black. She lay on the ground in unbearable pain. Liu Qi panicked, not knowing what to do? It was Merlin's words that reminded her: ”Invite the prince!”

”Oh!” Liu Qi replied as she ran off.

Merlin helped him up from the ground. His eyes were half-closed, and his pained look had already caused sweat to crawl all over her forehead. Using her last bit of consciousness, she forced herself to stay awake, then stretched out her arm and shook it in the air. Why... To... Do this... I... I know... You... Not... To... ”You truly hurt me …”

Merlin grabbed Qi Shu County's arm that was originally playing around with him. Seeing Qi Wan County's painful and miserable appearance, Merlin's heart was filled with regret. She wished that the one lying on the ground now was herself. Her heart was like a thousand arrows piercing her heart, tears blurred her eyes: ”Me? I don't want to, but? If I don't kill you, the Crown Prince will kill my family! I have no choice! ”

”So …” It was Yu... Cold Wind... He is... ”What?!” Qi Wanli subconsciously told himself that he must persevere and persevere on Yu Lingjing. Otherwise, with Yu Lingjing's temper, Merlin would be dead for sure.

”Because he wants to root you out, he already knows that you are a descendant of the Qi family!” As Merlin spoke, he began to cry loudly while hugging Qi Lang County.
