Chapter 6: The Poisoner
i^%&*";
Seeing Lin Yueyao so impatiently shirk her responsibilities and draw a line with herself. Liu Ruxin is like five thunderbolts. It was ossified on the spot. Saying
A day before the Mid-Autumn Festival. Liu Ruxin went to Cining Palace to greet the Queen Mother. Stop by to see Lin Yueyao. Lin Yueyao saw Liu Ruxin coming. Then he said to her with joy, "What a coincidence is my sister's come. I was about to ask someone to bring you something."
After speaking. Lin Yueyao asked the palace maids to take out a ceramic box with white flowers on a blue background. Open the box. I saw some musk kernels in it (1).
Lin Yueyao smiled and said: "This is the best original musk deer that my brother sent me (2).Although this thing is a rare and precious medicinal material, it is not good for pregnant women.The imperial doctor said.This thing will cause a slippery tire if it smells for a long time.Tell me not to use it.Therefore.I thought about sending it to my sister.Otherwise, it would be a waste to put it in vain."
Liu Ruxin picked up the ceramic box. Put it on the tip of your nose and smell it. But there is no strong musky smell. So he asked suspiciously, "Why doesn't it smell like musk?"
"My brother said. This musk has been treated. Removed musky scent. But the efficacy of the drug is unaffected." White as frost said." Originally. I want to give it to Xiao Guifei. After all, she's always loved spices. Mended. She was pregnant just like me. That's why I didn't dare send it to her. If my sister doesn't dislike it. I'll give this musk to my sister."
"Such a good thing. How could I be disgusted?" Liu Ruxin accepted it unceremoniously.
Seeing that Liu Ruxin accepted the musk. Lin Yueyao and Liu Ruxin "gossip":
My sister said. Xiao Guifei Ruo gave birth to a prince. Will the emperor make her queen?" Lin Yueyao seemed to be asking Liu Ruxin. But he didn't wait for her to answer. And he said to himself." I said. The emperor will definitely make her queen. Who doesn't know. The emperor has always liked her the most...... She's not prettier than us. Where the hell is it good ......" although. Lin Yueyao was following her brother's instructions (this trick of "borrowing a knife to kill" was conceived by Lin Rihui. Otherwise. Take Lin Yueyao's IQ. I can't think of such a "seamless" scheme).Step by step, she threw the bait at Liu Ruxin.However, the jealousy and resentment in her tone were real.
"That's it. That Xiao Ziling looks so ugly......" Liu Ruxin said jealously.
"If Concubine Xiao really became the queen. So what to do. When the time comes. We're going to live miserable." Lin Yueyao was deliberately alarmist. Scare Liu Ruxin." Who doesn't know that their Xiao family is powerful. When the time comes. We concubines. I can only be slaughtered."
"That'...... What can I do?" Liu Ruxin hurriedly asked.
"Hey. What else can I do...... I can only hope for the child in my womb. I hope he will be a prince......" Lin Yueyao stroked her stomach. Said quietly. If she gives birth to a daughter; Helpless in the future. Nobody cares. Then in the next life, you can only live under the authority of the Xiao family. I'm trembling on thin ice." This is a reminder to Liu Ruxin. She gave birth to two daughters. If you don't plan ahead. That will be in the future. But it's miserable.
Really. Liu Ruxin's face changed slightly. The face is not good-looking.
Lin Yueyao saw this. Hurry up and strike while the iron is hot: "My sister's Princess Xinrou is also thirteen years old. Two more years. It's time to get married. It's a pity that my sister's little prince didn't give birth to ......" Lin Yueyao deliberately mentioned Liu Ruxin's sadness. Expose her scars. Make her ache.
Liu Ruxin stood up suddenly. said coldly: "Concubine Yao, don't say it anymore. I know what to do." After speaking. Then he departed with a gloomy face and without looking back.
Looking at Liu Ruxin's back slowly moving away. Lin Yueyao couldn't help but secretly worry in her heart: she didn't know if the trick that her brother came up with was enough to arouse the resentment in Liu Ruxin's heart. I hope Liu Ruxin is smart enough. smart enough to comprehend the meaning of her words; I also hope that Liu Ruxin is stupid enough. Stupid enough to do what they want. Exploited by them.
Later. Xiao Ziling gave birth to a prince early. And her prince died "unfortunately" before he could cry. Only then did Lin Yueyao know that Lin Rihui's plan had worked. is also secretly glad in my heart that Liu Ruxin really did not live up to her and her brother's "high expectations".
Now. Liu Ruxin knew that the matter had been revealed. ran to find Lin Yueyao in a panic. Lin Yueyao, a person who is as poisonous as a snake and scorpion and as timid as a mouse, is also scared. tried his best to clear up the relationship with Liu Ruxin. Make a clean break.
Listened to Lin Yueyao's words that she wanted to shirk her responsibility. Liu Ruxin is like five thunderbolts. It was ossified on the spot.
For a long time. Liu Ruxin snorted coldly. Then he chuckled and said, "Okay. Since you are unintentional. I did it on purpose. Then it's none of your business."
"Of course it has nothing to do with me." Lin Yueyao said angrily.
"I just don't know. Will the emperor and the queen mother also believe that this matter has nothing to do with you?" Liu Ruxin said with a sneer.
"You...... What do you mean?" Lin Yueyao faintly felt uneasy in her heart. What the hell do you want.
"Xiao Ziling has already found out about this. So. She's not going to let me go. Since it is impossible to escape death. Then it would be better for me to surrender myself in front of the emperor and the queen mother. Then I beg the emperor to give me a death." Liu Ruxin's eyes were full of hatred. Staring at Lin Yueyao, she said evilly. When the time comes. I will never forget your 'great kindness'." After speaking. Liu Ruxin turned around and was about to leave.
Lin Yueyao saw this. hurriedly grabbed Liu Ruxin's sleeve. Salivating and begging Liu Ruxin: "Good sister. We have something to say. Isn't this for your own good? If you tell the emperor and the queen mother. That's really a dead end."
Liu Ruxin sneered: "A dead end. I have you as my companion on the Huangquan Road. I'm not afraid."
"Good sister. Let's figure it out. You can rest assured. This thing is wrapped up in me. I will definitely let my dad and my brother take care of the aftermath. I will never let Xiao Ziling hurt a single hair of you." Lin Yueyao hurriedly swore that she would always stabilize Liu Ruxin first. In case she really ran to the emperor and the queen mother in a fit of anger and said something that shouldn't be said. Then she, Lin Yueyao, is really dead now.
To know. After Su Zirong's incident. The Queen Mother was already disheartened by her. This time, if you know that she also has a part in killing Xiao Ziling's child. Then she will really be beaten into the cold palace by the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother has always cherished her children and grandchildren the most. The one who hates people who harm the royal blood the most.
"That's true." Liu Ruxin hurriedly asked. You're going to save me."
"Hmm. That's true." Lin Yueyao nodded vigorously. Busy responding." I'll let my dad and brother save you."
Liu Ruxin turned her sadness into joy. grabbed Lin Yueyao's hand. Said happily: "Good sister. I knew you were going to help me......"
After sending Liu Ruxin away. Lin Yueyao sat firmly on the couch. The heart is in turmoil. I don't know what I'm going to do next. Everybody knows. Xiao Zi is a very smart woman. With just one sachet, Liu Ruxin was tracked down. So. Sooner or later, she'll find out on her own head. Then. How can she parry.
A few days ago. Xiao Ziling brought her a jasper hairpin. Apparently. Xiao Ziling already knew that Su Zirong's death was related to her. The reason why Xiao Ziling has not moved for a long time. Maybe he didn't really want to avenge Su Zirong. Or maybe there was something else going on. However. This time it's different. After all. She and Liu Ruxin were killed. But Xiao Ziling's biological son. If Su Zirong's matter can still be reconciled. Well this time. Xiao Ziling will never give up.
What the hell am I going to do? Lin Yueyao really wanted to cry without tears.
Suddenly. There was a knock at the door. Lin Yueyao was thinking deeply. I couldn't help but be startled by the knock on the door. Vigilantly asked, "Who is it?"
"It's a slave." Outside the door, Mu Xue Rourou's voice came from the door. Yao Concubine Niangniang. It's time for you to drink your medicine."
"Come in." Lin Yueyao came back to her senses at this time. Let Mu Xue come into the house.
Gently put the medicine in the end plate on the table on the table in Lin Yueyao's hand. Mu Xue stood quietly aside. Hold the end plate tightly in your hand. A heart is pounding.
He picked up the porcelain bowl and took two sips. Lin Yueyao couldn't help frowning. Complained: "What kind of medicine is this. Why is it so bitter."
"This is the prescription that the doctor has prescribed according to your request. The slave doesn't know what kind of medicine they have." Mu Xue hurriedly explained. All she knows is. Lin Yueyao gained a lot of weight after giving birth. So I've been clamoring to lose weight. asked the doctor to prescribe some medicine for her to slim down and maintain her beauty.
"Oh." When I thought of it, this was a prescription prescribed by the doctor to help me lose weight. Lin Yueyao picked up the porcelain bowl again. Drink the thick black-brown liquid for the sake of your figure. No matter how bitter and unpleasant the medicine is, she will grit her teeth and drink it.
See Lin Yueyao drink the bowl of medicine. Mu Xue was relieved. Packed up the white porcelain bowl and left the room. Out of the room. Mu Xue brought the end plate to the kitchen. Washed the white porcelain bowl that was filled with medicine and was as white as frost, and had already instructed Mu Xue not to go to the imperial pharmacy to grab the medicine. Don't meddle in decoctions either. You can only quietly put the cinnabar into the medicine bowl while serving the medicine. After Lin Yueyao finished drinking the medicine. Mu Xue personally washed the medicine bowl again. So. You can leave no clues. Let Lin Yueyao gradually be poisoned. Step by step towards death......
Original. Mu Xue and the Liuyun beside Bai Rushuang are cousins who entered the palace together. The two have a deep relationship. In this treacherous palace, they depend on each other for their lives and support each other. Later. Mu Xue was assigned to Si'an Courtyard to serve Lin Yueyao. It's just that Lin Yueyao is a master who is not easy to serve. She's arrogant and unreasonable. When the eldest lady's temper comes, she beats and scolds her subordinates at will. Mu Xue's body was bruised and swollen. Live your life in fear every day.
After Liuyun listened to Mu Xue's cry. It's angry and distressed. went to beg Bai Rushuang to rescue Mu Xue from Si'an Courtyard. However. After all, Mu Xue is the person next to Lin Yueyao. Bai Rushuang can't go and ask the Queen Mother to assign Mu Xue to her. Therefore. White as frost, even if you have the heart to save Mu Xue. But there is nothing that can be done. Only occasionally can help in secret. Later. Mu Xue's heart was gradually bought by Bai Rushuang. Bai Rushuang also learned a lesson from this incident. It's getting better and better for the minions around me.
