Ji Shuran would occasionally lift her eyes to look at Jiang Li. As time slowly passed by, Jiang Li reached up to touch her forehead and said softly, "Mother, I'm feeling a bit dizzy..."
How could it be so quick? Ji Shuran felt puzzled in her heart. She thought that it would take a while before the drug took effect. Seeing Jiang Li speak like this, she had to respond. Fearing that staying any longer would raise suspicions and that something untoward might happen, she decided to let Jiang Li leave early.
Ji Shuran then said to a palace maid who had been standing by her side, "First, help the Second Miss back to her room to rest properly. I will come to fetch her later."
Jiang Youyao tentatively asked, "Second Sister?"
Jiang Li frowned slightly and waved her hand but accidentally touched a cup on the side, causing the full cup of tea to spill all over Jiang Yue's skirt.
Jiang Yue let out a startled "Ah!" as she quickly stood up.
