Su Qiao called out to the one big and one small figure practicing martial arts to stop. "Jing He, Yue'er, starting today, I'm going to teach you to recognize all kinds of poisonous herbs."
Qi Jinghe withdrew his sword, his expression instantly turning solemn. "Is something wrong?"
"Prevention is better than cure."
Not knowing how things would turn out, Su Qiao didn't dare explain outright, afraid she would frighten them.

First, she taught them to recognize various poisonous herbs. Second, she had Qi Jinghe fight wild beasts.

"I didn't expect the Sheng Family to be this impatient."
Sheng Ling had actually gone this far, even intending to use Da Jin's soldiers to kill her.
Did she think that even if the Empress learned Su Qiao had died, she still wouldn't be able to trace it
