Chapter 362: Successful Matchmaking

Song Miqiu first gave the Seventh Prince a brilliant performance, portraying him as someone who had never seen the world.

They acted as if they were ordinary people, praising the Seventh Prince as something lofty and superior.

Then he pretended that he had discovered he had been kidnapped and locked up.

He widened his eyes and tried his best to look scared and terrified.

"Ah! Why am I here? Why am I tied up?"

The seventh prince, being young, didn't realize that Song Miqiu was an actor, and he answered his question with some skepticism.

"You don't know you've been locked up, so why were you brought to my tent? This is a royal stronghold; how did you get in?"

Seeing that the Seventh Prince had taken the bait, things became much easier from there.

Song Miqiu feigned a headache by making a pained expression.

"I don't know, I can't remember anything."

The Seventh Prince then became interested in Song Miqiu and began to question her.

"Think about it again. It's impossible that you can't remember anything. You don't look like you've been injured."

Seeing that the Seventh Prince had completely let his guard down, Song Miqiu became even bolder.

She held her bound hands up in front of the Seventh Prince. "Seventh Prince, could you please untie this for me? It hurts so much that I can't remember anything at all."

The Seventh Prince waved to the guards, who then stepped forward to untie the ropes binding Song Miqiu's hands and feet.

Song Miqiu stayed inside for two whole hours, and his whole body ached terribly, but he was finally able to come out.

She moved around a little to feel better, and took advantage of the Seventh Prince's inattention to look around.

Strange? Where is the maid from before? I didn't hear her leave either.

With keen eyes, Song Miqiu quickly noticed the bloodstains on the tent, as well as on the ground and table.

Song Miqiu boldly guessed that he must have been dealt a cruel blow by the Seventh Prince.

It seems we can't ignore the Seventh Prince just because he's young.

She cautiously decided to test the Seventh Prince, saying, "Seventh Prince, it's dangerous here. Look, there's blood in this tent!"

After speaking, she kept observing the Seventh Prince's expression out of the corner of her eye.

The Seventh Prince approached unhurriedly and said, "Oh, you mean this? These days are the Heaven Worship Ceremony. When worshipping Heaven, there are bound to be offerings. These are probably just animal blood splattered on them. Don't worry about them."

Unexpectedly, the Seventh Prince's acting skills are also extremely superb, and Song Miqiu still refuses to give up.

"Seventh Prince, I don't think this blood is from an animal. The color looks more like human blood. You must be careful, Seventh Prince."

The Seventh Prince was getting annoyed by Song Miqiu's rambling and changed the subject.

"Have you remembered or not?"

Unexpectedly, she encountered a little pervert this time. After a moment's thought, a plan came to Song Miqiu's mind.

Since the Seventh Prince is ruthless, let him and Consort Li have a showdown and see who comes out on top.

Even if something unexpected happened, Song Miqiu could be considered to have acted on behalf of Heaven.

Then Song Miqiu suddenly turned around and looked at the Seventh Prince, "I remember now!"

This sudden action startled the Seventh Prince.

Song Miqiu recalled Consort Li's outfit and fragrance during the day. The Seventh Prince has a keen sense of smell, which will come in handy now.

“I overheard a few people talking about drugging me in a pharmacy on the street, and I only listened for a few minutes before I was discovered.”

Upon hearing the words "drug administration," the Seventh Prince would inevitably implicate himself.

"and then?"

Fearing that she would be exposed, Song Miqiu deliberately avoided the Seventh Prince's gaze as she walked and talked.

"Then I was knocked unconscious, and I felt like I was being dragged to a place."

"That place smells wonderful."

At this point, Song Miqiu pretended to think for a moment, afraid that if she spoke too smoothly, she would be discovered.

"That's right, the scent is pear blossom, it's pear blossom, I'm absolutely sure I'm not mistaken."

"Pear blossoms?"

The seventh prince pondered the matter repeatedly and soon thought of Consort Li.

Who made it so that only Consort Li used pear blossom fragrance in the entire palace?

When Consort Li first entered the palace in her early years, she had not yet won the emperor's favor, so she began to do her best to attract his attention.

Knowing that the incense in the palace had a strong fragrance, they spent a lot of money to specially find this pear blossom fragrance from outside the palace.

It was from this point on that Consort Li began to receive the Emperor's favor.

Everyone in the palace knew about the fragrance of pear blossoms.

Song Miqiu quickly took it.

"It was Pear Blossom, and then I heard a woman say something about trying to drag him down with her."

"I don't know what happened after that. When I woke up, I was in this big box."

Song Miqiu deliberately spoke vaguely to leave room for the Seventh Prince to guess, making the matter more interesting.

The Seventh Prince thought quietly for a moment, then looked up and asked the guard.

"Which Eunuch Cao is from that palace?"

The guard's face remained expressionless as he mechanically answered.

"Eunuch Cao is now working in the Imperial Kitchen. He used to serve in Consort Li's palace."

It was as if even God was helping Song Miqiu. After the guard said that, the Seventh Prince revealed everything he had been thinking.

"It was that Consort Li who wanted to harm me. She had no children and was afraid that I had ambitions to seize the throne!"

How could Song Miqiu not have thought of such a conjecture? If he had known, he wouldn't have gone to so much trouble acting and pretending to have amnesia.

"Consort Li? I think I've heard that name before. So, the person who brought me here is Consort Li?"

If you're going to pretend, you might as well go all the way.

"But I have no grudge against her!"

"Could it be, as you just said, Seventh Prince, that Consort Li thought I was dead and brought me here to frame you?"

The Seventh Prince hadn't figured it out yet, but after Song Miqiu said that, he realized he'd been completely in cahoots.

"That damned Consort Li, I've disliked her for a long time."

Now Song Miqiu has achieved his goal. As long as he gets out of the Seventh Prince's place smoothly, there will probably be endless good shows to watch in the future.

But how should he bring up the idea of ​​going back now? Song Miqiu fell into deep thought.

The Seventh Prince, who had always been favored by the Empress Dowager, could not bear such humiliation.

He then said to his guards, "You two stay here and stay with me."

Song Miqiu was unaware of the Seventh Prince's plan, so she had no choice but to take a gamble.

"Seventh Prince, I am just a commoner. Please have mercy and let me go home."

Song Miqiu did the Seventh Prince a great favor, at least that's what the Seventh Prince thought.

"Of course I'll let you go. Not only will I let you go, but I'll also reward you with silver. Take whatever good stuff you want from this tent."

Since it was a good deal, Song Miqiu naturally took advantage of it. He knew best which of the treasures in the tent was the most valuable.

When going to get it, you have to pretend to be very scared to gain the sympathy of the Seventh Prince.

At his age, the Seventh Prince had no idea of ​​the value of these porcelain pieces.
