Chapter Twenty-Five: A False Shot
Looking at the mahogany carved food box in Zhu Ye's hand, Su Yang thought of the cup of poisonous wine in her previous life, and she was in pain from the pain of piercing her intestines and heart, but now, she seemed to be facing that situation again, the difference was that this time it was caused by herself.
But she was not reconciled! She had only been reborn for a short time, and she hadn't seen Ye Qinxin end up in a tragic end, and she hadn't taken revenge on Murong Jie, she was unwilling to die like this!
The desire to survive forced her to try not to drink this bowl of ginseng soup, so she pulled the corners of her lips and asked Zhuye with an ugly smile: "Aunt Zhuye, this soup is still hot, can you drink it later?"
"Imperial Concubine Niangniang, this ginseng soup is the reward of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother also specially instructed the old slave to stare at you and drink, the hot is not tight, the old slave will wait here for a while, wait for the soup to be cooler, and then watch the mother drink. β
As soon as Zhu Ye's words came out, Su Yang knew that this time it was more auspicious, and sure enough, Jiang was still old and spicy, and the Queen Mother's move was directly fatal, and even if Murong Jue knew, he would not react, after all, for him, Ye Wanying was just a useless ornament.
Thinking of this, Su Yang felt a chill in her heart, she thought that being reborn once was her opportunity, but she didn't expect to plan step by step so far, and she actually dug a pit for herself to drill, which is really ridiculous.
"What are you doing in a daze? Please drink it, it won't taste good if it's cold again. β
Seeing that Su Yang was reluctant to drink the soup for a long time, Zhu Ye's patience was gradually exhausted, and he glanced at her coldly and said lightly.
"Aunt Zhuye, is the soup bitter?"
This soup is a medicinal recipe carefully prepared by the queen mother's imperial doctor, and then cooked by the imperial kitchen in the imperial dining room, the taste of chicken soup is enough to suppress the bitterness of the medicine, and the mother can drink it with confidence. β
Zhu Ye's words made Su Yang feel a little relieved, and before she died, she could still taste the skills of the imperial kitchen in the imperial dining room, and it was not in vain that her life was not in vain, but unfortunately, her revenge was not over.
"Drink it, the old slave has to go back to his life. β
"Auntie, don't urge, I'll drink it. β
Su Yang said, picked up the porcelain bowl and drank the soup in the bowl, and then put the porcelain bowl back in its place, but somehow, his eyes gradually moistened.
She closed her eyes and waited for a moment, but instead of waiting for the expected pain, her stomach was warm, and the mellow aroma of chicken soup remained between her lips and teeth, which made her have an endless aftertaste.
The Queen Mother said, you did a very good job at the flower banquet today, but you were accused by Sister Yan for no reason, and you were wronged, so I gave you chicken soup, and by the way, I asked the old slave to mention you a few words, and you need to be cautious in the palace in the future, don't be as reckless as your sister. β
Seeing her righteous appearance, Zhu Ye couldn't help but cover her lips and chuckle, and reminded her of a few more sentences according to the Queen Mother's instructions.
Only then did Su Yang know that the Queen Mother's move was just to give her a warning, today's flower viewing banquet, the Queen Mother trusted her ability very much, but she was afraid that she would be arrogant, so she ordered Zhuye to come over and bluff.
Although she hadn't seen Murong Jie's reaction yet, she saw that the Queen Mother's attitude was not bad, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and chuckled: "I'm timid, I told my aunt to see a joke, as for the Queen Mother, I also bothered my aunt to thank me for me, and I will remember her mention in the future." β
"It's also that the old slave is not good, it scares the mother, okay, since the soup is delivered, the old slave will go back to his life, the mother should rest early." β
Zhu Ye said, and left the Moon Shadow Palace with the food box and went back to his life.
When she left, Su Yang breathed a sigh of relief, and Ruo'er on the side hurriedly came up to pinch her shoulders for her, and muttered in a low voice: "That Aunt Zhuye is really scary, not to mention Niangniang, even the slave maid was also startled by her." β
"You don't understand, Aunt Zhuye's move was also ordered by the Queen Mother. β
Su Yang married into the palace at the age of fifteen, and she knows the temper of the queen mother well, today's flower viewing banquet is good, the queen mother wants to reward it is true, but the flower viewing banquet failed to deal with emergencies and should be punished, so she sent this bowl of chicken soup, which is a reward on the surface, but in fact it is a warning, telling her to restrain her behavior in the future.
"Aunt Zhuye is the old man next to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother trusts her very much. Speaking of this, Su Yang paused, turned his head to look at Ruo'er, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Ruo'er, if I am willing to treat you like the Queen Mother treats Zhuye, are you willing to be as loyal as Aunt Zhuye?"
"What is Niangniang talking about, of course the slave is willing, Niangniang treats the slave and the maid like a sister, how can the slave and the maid not want to!"
Ruo'er is Su Yang's first right-hand man after entering the palace, she naturally wants to ensure Ruo'er's absolute loyalty, seeing her eyes burning with sincerity, Su Yang is also relieved.
"There are still some peach blossom crisp osmanthus cakes left at the banquet today, you can take them and share them with them, I am a little tired, I want to rest for a while. β
After receiving Su Yang's reward, Ruo'er was overjoyed, and when she heard her say that she wanted to rest, she immediately unloaded the hairpin ring for her, lit a charcoal fire in the basin, and waited for her to sleep.
"The emperor has arrivedβ"
The eunuch shouted in a high-pitched voice, and the deliberately long tail was very harsh.
After a while, Murong Jue opened the curtain at the door and entered, and saw that Su Yang had taken off the hairpin ring and was ready to sleep, so he couldn't help but snort coldly: "You have the heart to sleep because something big happened today?"
"Your Majesty, the concubines are missing ...... today"
"Give me a step down, no one is allowed to come in without my orders. β
Su Yang wanted to find an excuse to let him leave, but Murong Jue gave an order to cut off her thoughts, and after everyone in the hall hurriedly retreated, Murong Jue walked to the table and sat down, poured a cup of tea, took a sip, and said, "I remember that you are the daughter of the Ye family, why did you fight with your sister today?"
"Your Majesty, although the concubine's surname is Ye, she is already your imperial concubine, so naturally try to give priority to the rules and etiquette in the palace, even if it is a sister-in-law, she can't be spared. β
Su Yang's answer was respectful, so that Murong Jue couldn't find any mistakes, but it was precisely because of this that Murong Jue felt very funny.
If she wasn't the Ye family's eyeliner, how could the Ye family let her enter the palace, now that she says it nicely, she can't tell what she thinks in her heart!
"Good one to put the rules first! Then you remember, no matter what you do in the future, you must put the rules first!"
As he spoke, Murong Jue beckoned to her to come closer, Su Yang cautiously stepped forward, the distance between the two was so close that Su Yang could even feel his warm breath, somehow, her heart was as uneasy as a deer crashing.
Before Su Yang could calm down, Murong Jue pinched her chin and said in a threatening tone: "I don't care what your relationship with the Ye family is, if you enter the palace, you are my person, if you dare to go to your mother's family, you will wait for me to give you poisonous wine, understand?"
