Chapter 112: Take a Step Back
The meditation room suddenly became very silent, and Yun Yao protected Lu Yingquan behind her, waiting for Jiang Yi's answer.
Jiang Yi glanced at the few minions who were already weak and weak, and thought in her heart, if she continued to force Lu Yingquan, what a chance she would have to get out of here.
However, she can't just compromise like this, if she can't succeed this time, then it will be difficult to attack Lu Yingquan next time.
Although she came out without the Queen Mother and Her Royal Highness, Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan definitely didn't know about it, so it was better to borrow the Queen Mother's hand to suppress Yun Yao's arrogance.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yi pretended to be silent and said, "The fish is dead and the net is broken, Yun Yao, even if you want to die with me, it depends on whether you have the ability." ”
"What do you mean?" Yun Yao knew it, but still cooperated with Jiang Yi's words and asked.
Jiang Yi couldn't help but feel proud when she saw Yun Yao take the bait: "I came to Ci'en Temple with the permission of the Queen Mother." If I can't go back this time, even if you protect Lu Yingquan and the child in her belly, the Queen Mother will not let you go. ”
Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan glanced at each other, and the long-term tacit understanding between the two made them choose to push the boat with the water.
"So, is it the saffron that the Queen Mother asked you to send me?" Lu Yingquan still asked with a wary expression.
"Of course, otherwise how dare I leave the palace without permission!" Jiang Yi nodded without hesitation and said to Yun Yao, "I know that you are very capable, and I also know that you are not afraid of death in order to protect Lu Yingquan." But if you and I are dead, Lu Yingquan still can't live, and it won't do us any good at all. Rather, let's take a step back. ”
"How do you want to take a step back?" Yun Yao asked.
"This time, my purpose is only the child in Lu Yingquan's belly, and I never thought of asking for your life. Of course, I don't want to die here either. Jiang Yi said lightly, "As long as Lu Yingquan drinks this bowl of saffron and kills the child, I promise that I will never come to harass you again in the future." As for you, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, if you want to seek revenge on me, save your life first. What do you think?"
Yun Yao listened to Jiang Yi's words, and just wanted to laugh a few times, and couldn't help but admire Jiang Yi's methods. If Yun Yao hadn't already taken a countermeasure, I'm afraid she would really applaud Jiang Yi's words.
Jiang Yi and Lu Yingquan are actually evenly matched now. Jiang Yi is afraid of dying here, Lu Yingquan is afraid of losing his child, and both of them have their own things they want to protect.
If Yun Yao really wants to break the net with Jiang Yi, when the time comes, Jiang Yi will have a lot of people on her side, even if she tries her best, she will not let Lu Yingquan retreat, and she will definitely attack the child in her belly.
That's the real next step, that is, the three of them, no one can escape.
But now Jiang Yi proposed a way to take a step back, let Lu Yingquan drink the decoction by himself, lose a child, and save the lives of three people. As for after this, whether Lu Yingquan gives up or makes a comeback, she Jiang Yi will accompany her to the end!
As a result, only Lu Yingquan was the only one who really suffered. She lost her child, and with the identity of a criminal concubine, she is likely to be unable to get out of the Temple of Mercy and Grace for the rest of her life. However, Jiang Yi was able to return to Yiwang Palace safe and sound after achieving her goal and continue to be her Mrs. Jiang.
What a perfect plan!
"Why should I believe you?" The vigilance in Lu Yingquan's eyes became stronger and stronger, so he asked, "You are a ruthless person, if I drink this decoction myself, and you send someone to kill me and Yun Yao again, then I won't be able to argue?"
"Even if you don't believe it, you can't help it. Jiang Yi saw that Lu Yingquan was a hard temper, so he couldn't be fooled, his face changed, and he said viciously, "Then let's break the net, it's best to be in this room and die together!"
After speaking, Jiang Yi spoke loudly and called the two eunuchs standing outside the door in.
Jiang Yi was surrounded by a lot of people, in addition to the mothers-in-law who were pricked by Yun Yao's silver needle, there were also Qi'er and two other palace maids, and even a few little eunuchs.
Yun Yao wanted to sneak attack again, it was already impossible, and these little eunuchs should be able to do some kung fu, otherwise it would be impossible to become Jiang Yi's dependence, so that Jiang Yi would have nothing to fear.
"You two, grab Lu Yingquan and Yun Yao for me, and pour this bowl of soup medicine into her mouth. Jiang Yi commanded again, "Que'er, I look at this meditation room as an eyesore, you take someone to smash it for me!"
Immediately after, the two eunuchs walked towards Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan, and the two of them controlled them as soon as they made a move, almost effortlessly. And the finch also took the two palace maids and smashed the meditation room that was compared to the decoration of the Linglong Pavilion.
Lu Yingquan and Yun Yao couldn't move, they only heard a crackling sound, and the originally neat room became embarrassed in an instant, the vases and tea sets were all thrown to the ground, shattered, and the tables and chairs all fell to the ground, and the room was in chaos.
Jiang Yi already had an absolute advantage at this time, she sneered, slowly approached Lu Yingquan, took the decoction from the previous mother-in-law's hand, and said, "Do you want me to feed you personally before you are willing to drink it?"
While speaking, Jiang Yi asked the eunuch to press Lu Yingquan, pinch her mouth open, and then pour the decoction into it.
Yun Yao saw that the time was almost up, so she immediately spoke again: "Stop! If you don't want to die, stop!"
"Oh, you're now my prisoner, what else can you do to me?" Although Jiang Yi didn't care about Yun Yao's words, she still stopped what she was doing.
This is probably a common problem common to people who are too conceited, before the matter can have a result, Jiang Yi was already convinced that Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan couldn't play any tricks, so she was not afraid of delaying time with Yun Yao at all.
"It's true that I was caught by your people, but after you have been standing in this room for so long, haven't you noticed that something is wrong?" Yun Yao looked calm, with a smile in her eyebrows, "Mrs. Jiang, you also know that I am a healer, and I have never been separated from each other in medicine and poison, and you haven't seen my ability to use poison, right?"
"Poison? you poisoned me?" Jiang Yi's face changed suddenly, "Do you think that if you say this, I will believe you?"
"Believe it or not, if you don't believe it, then you can continue to pour medicine, or kill us and leave here, and see how long you and the people around you can live!" Yun Yao's expression was too indifferent, and she was not in a hurry at all, which made Jiang Yi's heart lose confidence in an instant.
Jiang Yi remembered that Yun Yao had said that she would break the net with her, at that time, Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan were already at a numerical disadvantage, why did she dare to say that the fish was dead and the net was broken? Could it be that she had already quietly poisoned her at that time?
"What conditions do you have?" Jiang Yi was bluffed by Yun Yao's calmness, so he asked, and then added, "Let me explain first, I can't let go of the child in Lu Yingquan's belly, because it is the will of the Queen Mother." Even if it's a life for a life, it's the life of the two of you for my life, and it has nothing to do with the fetus. ”
"You let go of me and Yingquan, and we agree to your previous offer to take a step back. Yun Yao said, "You're right, the child can be reborn if it's gone, and the green mountains are left, not afraid of running out of firewood." As long as you promise that it won't be against us, I'll give you the antidote. ”
Jiang Yi listened to Yun Yao's words and was about to speak, but heard Lu Yingquan roar angrily: "Yun Yao! How can you compromise with her? You forgot what you promised me? You said that you will do your best to help me keep this child!"
"Madam, we have no choice but to sacrifice our children so that we can survive. Yun Yao looked at Lu Yingquan with a solemn face and persuaded, "If you don't agree to her, I'm afraid we will all really have to die here!"
"When did you become so greedy and afraid of death?Yun Yao, in vain I trusted you so much, you actually want to hurt the child in my belly?" Lu Yingquan protected his stomach and looked at everyone with a defensive expression.
Jiang Yi saw that the master and servant who had always been in unison began to quarrel, and suddenly felt very happy: "Lu Yingquan, I advise you to listen to Yun Yao's words and save your life, the so-called person who knows the times is Junjie, you won't know this, right?"
"Madame, it has come to this, and if we die, there will really be nothing. Yun Yao continued to persuade.
Lu Yingquan was silent for a while, as if she was struggling in her heart, a complicated look flashed on her face, and after a long while, she raised her head, as if she had made a decision in her heart.
"This is not my first child, the last time I was accidentally killed by a traitor, but this time, I am going to sacrifice him to save my life. Lu Yingquan muttered to himself, "But Jiang Yi, remember, I won't give up on this matter!"
After saying this, Lu Yingquan struggled out of the eunuch's hand, took the decoction in Jiang Yi's hand, held it in one hand, raised it with the other, and the wide sleeves covered her entire face, and soon drank the bowl of saffron.
At the end, Lu Yingquan wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeve, and his eyes burst with hatred for Jiang Yi. With a bang, the bowl shattered, Lu Yingquan took a few steps back while holding his stomach, leaning against the table, looking weak.
Jiang Yi seemed to be very satisfied with Lu Yingquan's behavior, she stared at Lu Yingquan tightly, as if observing her expression.
Seeing this, Yun Yao immediately broke free from the eunuch's hands, and ran to Lu Yingquan's side in three or two steps to help her, and the silver needle in her hand quietly pierced the acupuncture point on her wrist, making Lu Yingquan feel a burst of pain, and fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.
It looked like it was really painful because of drinking fetal pills.
Gradually, Lu Yingquan's body softened and slipped weakly to the ground, Yun Yao turned her back to everyone and slowly supported her, but she also blocked the sight of everyone behind her.
After a while, bright red blood oozed from between Lu Yingquan's legs, staining her clothes red, and the shocking color made Lu Yingquan cry bitterly:
"My child ......"
Jiang Yi motioned for a mother-in-law to come forward to look, and when the mother-in-law saw the blood stains between Lu Yingquan's legs, she nodded slightly at Jiang Yi, indicating that the child was gone.
Seeing this, Jiang Yi relieved his mind and said, "You all go out first, wait for me at the gate of Ci'en Temple, and just stay with Qi'er and Xiao Dezi." ”
The others took the order and left, and Jiang Yi was suddenly left with only two people to protect her.
