The Rebirth of the Deposed Empress

Next to the bed where Sun Ruhui was lying, there was another woman lying on the floor. Her skin was blue and covered with numerous cracks, through which the bones inside were faintly visible. It was obvious that she had been poisoned by the same poison as Sun Ruhui and had died.

Seeing that Sun Ruhui's skin was becoming more and more swollen, Lin Siyu looked very impatient.

"I've reduced the dosage by half, but how come the symptoms are still coming back so quickly?"

She had been researching for so long and had finally developed a poison similar to the white bone poison and a corresponding antidote, but she had not expected the poison to take effect so quickly that her skin turned blue in a matter of moments.

Fortunately, Chuntao was used for the experiment first, otherwise Sun Ruhui would be the one lying on the ground now.

Lin Siyu also wanted to try out the real formula of the white bone poison on Sun Ruhui in order to find the antidote for it, so she didn't want her to die so quickly.

He took out a pill and put it into Sun Ruhui's mouth. Soon, Sun Ruhui felt the swelling on her body subsided a little, and it was no longer like before, as if her whole body was about to split apart.

Sun Ruhui finally found some of her voice. Just as she was about to shout for help, Lin Siyu put her index finger in front of her lips and said:

"Madam, have you thought it through? If you open your mouth and attract the attention of others, I will have no choice but to cut off your tongue to avoid being exposed."

Lin Siyu seemed to be still as gentle and docile as before, but her eyes revealed the coldness and cruelty that was hidden in the past.

Sun Ruhui closed her mouth subconsciously because of her threat, but then she lowered her voice unwillingly and said:

"You vicious woman! You actually colluded with Hua Jingqian!"

Lin Siyu smiled disdainfully.

"I'm not helping him, I'm helping myself."

Lin Siyu devoted herself to the study of the white bone poison for decades and finally made some progress. She was worried that she could not find someone to test the medicine for her, so she and Sun Ruhui ran into Hua Jingqian who accidentally killed the old lady.

When Hua Jingqian saw the panic on her and Sun Ruhui's face, Lin Siyu felt that this was a good opportunity.

While Sun Ruhui was still frightened and hadn't reacted yet, it quickly took out the Ecstasy Powder from its sleeve and placed it on the tip of Sun Ruhui's nose.

Hua Jingqian, who was worried that Sun Ruhui would shout and attract more people, felt relieved and alert when he saw Lin Siyu's actions.

"What do you want to do?"

Lin Siyu curled the corners of her mouth slightly.

"I can help the prince deal with this trouble and never let anyone find out that the master killed his own mother."

Hua Jingqian felt as if his tail had been stepped on, and he felt angry and regretful.

"I didn't mean to do that! I just blocked it with my hand, I didn't expect..."

As he spoke, Hua Jingqian suddenly lost the strength to argue.

Killing one's own mother is already unacceptable to the world, so who would care whether he did it on purpose?

He smiled bitterly, looking at Lin Siyu and asked:

"Then what do you want?"

Lin Siyu glanced at Sun Ruhui.

"I just need the master to hand the lady over to me."

Hua Jingqian hesitated for a moment.

"But she just saw it."

Lin Siyu disagreed and said:

"Master, rest assured. I will not let her meet outsiders, and I will not give her the opportunity to ruin your reputation."

Hua Jingqian intuitively felt that Lin Siyu in front of him was somewhat dangerous. She seemed completely different from the gentle and considerate Aunt Lin in his memory.

At least, he never knew that Aunt Lin would carry something with her that could make a person fall into a coma with just a tiny bit of it.

But the old lady's body must be dealt with.

Hua Jingqian thought about it and agreed to her.

After the two reached a cooperation, Hua Jingqian quickly ordered the Hua Mansion to be under martial law and no one was allowed to enter or leave at will.

The unconscious Sun Ruhui did not wake up until the pain from the poison in her body became unbearable.

Unexpectedly, when she woke up, she saw Lin Siyu staring at her like a poisonous snake, and fed her something that looked like an antidote.

She was tied up and poisoned, while Lin Siyu was standing there with the antidote in her hand, and threatened her not to call for help. Sun Ruhui immediately realized that Lin Siyu must be in cahoots with Hua Jingqian.

"You vicious woman! You actually colluded with Hua Jingqian!"

Lin Siyu smiled disdainfully.

"I'm not helping him, I'm helping myself."

Sun Ruhui thought that she said helping her because she wanted to win Hua Jingqian's favor.

She advised:

"Hua Jingqian is not a good man, and your daughter has already married into the Shangshu Mansion. Why do you have to do such a wicked thing just to win the heart of a man!"

Lin Siyu didn't answer her but looked at Luo Fang who had just entered the room.

"What happened outside?"

Luo Fang relayed the man's words to Lin Siyu.

It is better to have less trouble than more. If I don't give her the red pomegranate earrings, given Green Radish's petty attitude, she might send someone to ask for them at any time.

Lin Siyu looked at Sun Ruhui.

"Where are the ears?"

Sun Ruhui looked at a small wooden box on the dressing table, opened her mouth and silently said two words: "box".

Lin Siyu opened the box and found a pair of red pomegranate earrings inside.

"Go ahead, and buy some red bamboo roots while you're at it."

Luo Fang took the earrings carefully, not even daring to look up at Lin Siyu. She bowed and went out.

When Luluo got the earrings, she smiled happily and asked Luluo to take some change to reward the servant who ran errands.

As soon as she returned to the house, her face turned pale instantly.

Sun Ruhui had never given her any red pomegranate earrings as a reward, but she had seen Sun Ruhui wearing them when she was serving her.

Sun Ruhui also mentioned that this was left to her by her deceased mother, and it was impossible for her to give it to her so easily when she knew that she was talking nonsense.

Thinking of this, Luoluo's already uneasy heart beat faster and faster because of panic.

She was still thinking that Sun Ruhui would let her go because of their past relationship as master and servant and because she had passed on the news about Hua Jingqian to Sun Ruhui. She didn't expect that Sun Ruhui might be in a worse situation than her.

It was as if he was being closely guarded.

And this earring was Sun Ruhui's hint to her.

Luoluo felt increasingly worried and panicked, not understanding what had happened in the mansion.

Luo Fang has been following Lin Siyu since she became Hua Jingqian's concubine. Because Lin Siyu seems gentle but is actually cold, the master and servant have never been close, but they have been living in peace.

Today, Luo Fang was suddenly filled with indescribable fear when she saw Lin Siyu undergo such a drastic change and how she used poison without mercy.

She was in a hurry when she went out of the house to buy medicine, and even when she entered the pharmacy, she didn't notice Hua Wu Ke's carriage was right behind her.

After Luo Fang bought the red bamboo roots, Lin Siyu ground them into powder and mixed them with the water boiled from white bone grass to make the blood-dissolving powder.

"Is the pit already dug?"

Luo Fang nodded, and listened to Lin Siyu's instructions. She suppressed her fear, dragged the dead Chuntao out of the house and threw her into the pit, piled with the old lady who had already stopped breathing.
