Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Zhen Huan

Chapter 252: Prelude to Poisoning

After the group arrived at Yufu Palace, Yun'er invited Zhen Huan, Tong Jia and Yu Ting to sit down.

As soon as she sat down, Tong Jia Yuting looked at Yun'er coquettishly and said:

"Sister Yun, I'm a little thirsty after walking for so long!"

"It's my fault that I didn't take good care of you."

Yun'er raised the corner of her mouth and smiled. She looked at Miaotong and ordered:

"Miaotong, serve the tea."

When Tong Jia Yuting heard Yun'er say that she wanted tea, the smile on her face became even more intense.

Zhen Huan and Yun'er took advantage of the moment and exchanged glances with each other.

Yun'er understood, she looked at her dirty clothes from the fall and said:

"Madam Wanpin, Madam Shu, please talk here for a while. I will go into the palace to change my clothes."

Before Zhen Huan could speak, Tong Jia Yuting smiled and took over the conversation:

"Sister Yun, please go quickly. Concubine Wan and I will be waiting for you here."

"Okay!" Yun'er nodded, and was helped into the inner hall by Hanyan.

Seeing Tong Jia Yuting being so considerate, Zhen Huan sneered in her heart.

In order to harm others, she is really good at pretending!

After Yun'er left, Zhen Huan's eyes fell on Tong Jia Yuting's nails.

Tong Jia Yuting noticed that Zhen Huan's eyes were staring at her, and she felt uncomfortable all over.

Will Wanpin notice that there is something wrong with my nails?

No! Definitely not!

No matter how smart Wanpin is, she would never have thought that I would hide poison in my nails, right?

Once the poison is successfully applied, I will quickly find an excuse to wash my nails!

As long as no evidence can be found, even if the emperor comes, he can't blame me!

If I bite back at that time, Wanpin will not be able to protect herself!

Thinking of this, Tong Jia Yuting smiled proudly.

Seeing the smile on Tong Jia Yuting's face, Zhen Huan knew that she was up to something evil again.

So he deliberately raised his voice, looked at Tong Jia Yuting and asked:

"Lady Shu, the color of your nails is really unique."

"I wonder how it can be dyed so bright red?"

Tong Jia Yuting, who was in a daze, was frightened by the sudden voice.

Zhen Huan laughed in her heart with disdain, but on her face, she still pretended to be concerned and looked at Tong Jia Yuting:

"Lady Shu, what's wrong with you? Did I scare you?"

"Ah?" Tong Jia Yuting was unable to come back to her senses for a moment.

Upon seeing this, Aunt Zhang leaned down and looked at Tong Jia Yuting and reminded her:

"The Concubine Wan is asking you, young lady, how do you paint your nails?"

"Oh, oh." Tong Jia Yuting pretended to be calm and looked at Zhen Huan and explained:

"Madam Wanpin, I was distracted just now. It was really rude. Please don't blame me, Madam Wanpin."

Zhen Huan smiled and said:

"What are you talking about, Lady Shu! How could I blame you for such a small matter?"

"Just hope your majesty doesn't blame me."

Tong Jia Yuting said, looking at her nails:

"The color on my nails was dyed for me by Madam Zhang using a special formula."

"If your Majesty likes it, I will ask Madam Zhang to tell you the recipe when we get back."

"In that case, I would like to thank Lady Shu."

"Madam Wanpin is too polite."

Tong Jia Yuting and Zhen Huan seemed to be harmonious on the surface, but they were each thinking about their own problems in their hearts.

Zhen Huan recalled that in her previous life, she had heard in a drama that some women in the harem hid poison in their fingernails in order to gain favor.

When poisoning, just shake it gently a few times to put the poison into the food or tea you want.

And the brighter the color of the nails, the stronger the toxicity.

Judging from the brightness of Tong Jia Yuting's nails, it is very likely red crested dung beard!

But this red-crowned crane must not be contaminated.

Thinking of this, Zhen Huan seemed to be talking to herself and said:

"It's been so long, why hasn't Lady Yun come out yet? Did she fall somewhere?"

As she spoke, she looked at Jinxi meaningfully:

"Jinxi, go check on Concubine Yun. If she really fell, call the imperial physician immediately."

"Yes, my lord."

Jin Xi has been in the palace for a long time and has witnessed many despicable tricks used by the concubines in the harem.

When she heard Zhen Huan specifically mention the color of Tong Jiayu's nails, she understood the clue.

After she bowed to Zhen Huan, she walked quickly towards the inner hall.

Tong Jia Yuting saw Zhen Huan caring so much about Yun Er and said with a smile:

"Empress Wanpin, you are so kind-hearted."

"Noble Yun is now deeply favored by the Emperor. Not only is Your Majesty not angry, but she is still so concerned about her. I really admire her!"

"From what Lady Shu said, it seems she is angry with Lady Yun!"

Tong Jia Yuting wanted to stir up trouble, but unexpectedly was choked back by Zhen Huan's words.

She felt embarrassed as if her secrets had been exposed!

When he looked at Zhen Huan, his expression became extremely unnatural for a moment:

"I... I don't know how I could do that! I am so happy for Sister Yun!"

"I just want to praise Lady Wan for her tolerance and generosity."

"Oh, so that's it!"

Compared to Tong Jia and Yu Ting's nervousness, Zhen Huan seemed very relaxed and comfortable.

She deliberately prolonged her voice and looked at Tong Jia Yuting:

"Who the emperor likes and who he favors depends on his will. We cannot influence this."

"But the concubines in the harem are all sisters. No matter who serves the emperor, they should not feel jealous."

As she spoke, Zhen Huan smiled and took Tong Jia Yuting's hand:

"Sister Shu is a smart person. She should understand that jealousy breeds hatred."

Just when Tong Jia Yuting was thinking about how to reply, Yun'er, Hanyan and Jinxi walked out of the hall together.

As Jing Xi walked towards Zhen Huan, she winked at her.

Zhen Huan felt relieved knowing that the matter had been settled.

Seeing the empty table, Yun'er looked at Hanyan and said:

"Hanyan, go check on Miaotong. Why hasn't she brought the tea in such a long time?"

"Yes, my lord."

After Hanyan left, Yun'er pretended to be embarrassed and looked at Zhen Huan and Tong Jia Yuting:

"It's all because of my poor hospitality. Please don't blame me, Lady Wan and Lady Shu."

"Sister Yun, how can I blame you for this!"

Tong Jia Yuting seemed unusually attentive. She smiled and took Yun'er's hand:

"If you want to blame someone, you can only blame Miaotong. She hasn't brought the tea for such a long time. I don't know what she is up to!"

"Sister Yun, you should pay more attention to her in the future."

Tong Jia Yuting thought to herself, now there is another scapegoat!

"My dear ladies, I am sorry for the long wait. I accidentally spilled the tea I had prepared, which delayed us for a while."

As she spoke, Miao Tong placed the tea in front of the three people one by one.

"Cough cough cough..."

At this moment, Yun'er suddenly covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed a few times.

Seeing that the opportunity had come, Tong Jia Yuting stood up from her chair with a "whoosh".

As soon as her hand touched Yun'er's cup, Miao Tong took the lead and brought the cup to Yun'er:

"My lady, please drink some tea to moisten your throat first."

Yun'er nodded, looked up at Zhen Huan, then took the tea from Miaotong and drank it all.
