Aftermath of the Little Competition
Aftermath of the Little Competition
"Is there anything wrong, Lady Xiao Hua?" Gao Ling asked with a grin.
Wei Xiao Hua glared at Gao Ling. "You…"
Blargh!
All of a sudden, Wei Xiao Hua lunched her body slightly and vomited on the spot. Her face was pale as she looked at the mess on her clothing. There was definitely some confusion on her face when she looked at her own condition.
'It's weird… the real Wei Xiao Hua can handle this much,' Wei Xiao Hua thought to herself about the weird development. 'Could it be that my alcohol resistance was even lower than the real Wei Xiao Hua?'
Their body was supposed to be the same, was alcohol tolerance was also affected by one's soul?
For some reasons, Wei Xiao Hua felt that she would never be able to get the answer for this one. Transmigration was supposed to be only something inside a novel. Besides, how to examine one's soul and determine if there were things that affecting the soul that would affect the body?
Is there even a method to switch one's soul?
That was another question without answer.
Gao Ling laughed lightly, feeling satisfied with Wei Xiao Hua's current condition. "You vomited, Miss Xiao Hua. In that case, can I count this as my win?"
"Yes, Lady Gao…urgh."
Seeing that Wei Xiao Hua was not in a good condition, Gao Ling felt invigorated. She stood up and dusted the nonexistent dust from her clothes. "I'll be going now, get well soon, First Miss Wei."
Wei Xiao Hua tried to answer, but she felt that she was truly not feeling well. With no other choice, she lowered her head and vomited once more.
"First Sister!" the fake Wei Liuying panicked. This was the first time she encountered a situation like this were Wei Xiao Hua would be incapacitated because of drinking so much. Well, in the first place, there was no way they would touch wine when they were in Wei Family Household.
"I'm fine."
"But…"
"I'll be resting now."
Wei Xiao Hua felt as if her stomach was experiencing acute pain. She felt extremely confused about this. Was it because her body was too young that she was unable to drink properly?
She was sad when she thought about it.
At this moment, the servants quickly went to Wei Xiao Hua's side to help her out. They had to resist the disgust they had when they saw the vomit on the ground. It had truly become a mess in this place.
"I'm fine…. Blargh!"
By now, Wei Xiao Hua felt that her decision to agree with Gao Ling to have a drinking contest was terribly wrong. She was sure that when she returned back, Prince Ji Shu would never allow her to drink anymore.
'Ugh, is my alcohol tolerance really that bad because I'm the one who transmigrated and not the real person?'
Wei Xiao Hua leaned on her maids and looked outside. The guards that Prince Ji Shu sent were still protecting the place very well. Her clear eyes were looking in their direction for a moment before she lowered her eyes.
Without anyone knowing, a faint glint flashed within her eyes.
Even though her current condition was bad because of her nausea, she knew that she would be better soon with some medicine. Besides, it didn't really matter that much to her.
The attack would happen tonight.
No one from Prince Ji Sheng's side would be able to escape unscathed from this incident while she would be safe thanks to the guards.
"Miss, come on."
"Ask for some hangover medicine from the Abbot."
"Yes, Miss!"
Wei Liuying originally wanted to stay behind because she needed to take care of the remainder wine. However, Gao Ling's fast pace to walk out of the room made it impossible for her to stay behind. With no other choice, Wei Liuying silently followed Gao Ling from a distance.
Gao Ling's group leave the room as soon as possible. Gao Ling and Shi Lu Wen returned to their room while Hai Yue get out to fetch tea for Gao Ling. After drinking that much, it would certainly affect Gao Ling.
Tea would help her to regain some clarity.
"Lu Wen, thank you."
"I didn't do anything," Shi Lu Wen smiled and mouthed out to prevent anyone from knowing what they were talking about, 'It was Wei Liuying.'
Gao Ling raised her head and resisted the urge to laugh. She had noticed when Shi Lu Wen added more herbs to her glass that there was something terribly wrong. After all, just a little bit should have been enough to prevent her from getting too drunk.
It turned out, the one who tampered with the wine was Wei Liuying. With her capabilities, it would be a piece of cake to use some kind of normal herbs and added it to the barrel without anyone noticing. After all, she had been touching the closed barrel for a long period of time.
Even if no one seen her when she inserted it, Gao Ling could guess that it must be done in a way that no one would expect.
As for how, she would not ask. It might be better for her to not know because she might blurt the method out in front of Prince Ji Sheng should the latter asked.
"It's really good. I'm very satisfied today and…" Gao Ling was about to ramble on and on when she saw Wei Liuying looked in her direction. There was a faint warning within Wei Liuying's eyes as if she didn't want Gao Ling to continue her words.
It was then Gao Ling realized that Prince Ji Shu's men were still around. Even though she was Prince Ji Sheng's fiancée, offending Prince Ji Shu just because of Wei Xiao Hua was clearly a big no.
There was no need to add more reasons for the two princes to fight with each other.
"I won."
Shi Lu Wen smiled. She also sensed faint pressure from Wei Liuying. Due to Wei Liuying's martial arts, sending a bit of pressure and intimidation when she was not located that far away was not that hard.
"Yes, you're the best, Miss Gao."
"Ah, but don't tell my father about today." Gao Ling knew that if her father heard that she drank when she was outside, he would punish her miserably. After all, her father hated it when she was drinking since she was not of age yet.
There were already several occasions in the past when Gao Ling was punished horribly due to breaking this rule.
Shi Lu Wen giggled. "Of course, I won't."
"Good."
Gao Ling glanced out and furrowed her brows. She should also ask the soldiers to keep their mouth shut tomorrow. If they blabbered to her father, she would drill them as hard as possible to make sure that they would regret it.
Turning her body around, Gao Ling felt a pang in her head. She sighed as she realized that she truly overestimated her ability.
"My head is a bit lightheaded. I drink too much this time," Gao Ling said with a sigh. Even with the herbs that Shi Lu Wen added, it was hard for her to drink so much in one go. Her head was still affected.
Shi Lu Wen smiled bitterly. The two young ladies practically drink a barrel of wine plus a bit more. If not because of Wei Liuying's tampering, it was clear that Gao Ling would have to drink much more. Wei Xiao Hua's alcohol tolerance was simply terrifying.
"Let's have some rest."
"Yes."
While Shi Lu Wen returned back to her room, Gao Ling lied on her bed and sighed. Her father had long told her that she shouldn't drink too much because it was not good for her health. In addition, she had to make sure that nothing bad happened to herself because when she was drunk, it was harder to protect herself.
'This is going to be hard.'
Gao Ling rubbed her forehead and looked at the ceiling. She felt that the ceiling was blurry as she tried to focus her gaze. Her vision was disrupted because she was drunk and unable to perceive things well.
Closing her eyes, Gao Ling drifted to sleep.
On the other hand, Wei Liuying was walking in the courtyard near Gao Ling's room. She was trying to think for a way to destroy the barrel of wine before anyone tried to drink too. The herbs that she inserted would give them heavy stomachache and diarrhea, so it wouldn't be good if anyone tried to drink.
'Should I return back or sneak back and destroy it?'
