Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem

"What do you mean? Hahahaha, you keep saying that you changed the emperor's medicine, but why is the emperor lying in bed now, his limbs still stiff and dying?"

Concubine Yao turned her head and looked at the emperor who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, his face pale and his life or death unknown. She smiled knowingly and mysteriously.

“Even though the previous poisons were replaced by Concubine Ling, I personally watched over Doctor Xi and used a full amount of poison for this last bowl.

In addition, Doctor Xi's acupuncture technique can greatly spread the efficacy of the medicine, and the emperor's health is definitely not good now.

I originally kept this trick to prevent future troubles. I didn't expect that it would become a bargaining chip in our negotiations. The world is unpredictable..."

"Who wants to negotiate with a prisoner like you?" Wei Yanwan looked at Concubine Yao with disgust.

"Your Highness, there is no need to waste your time on this kind of person. No matter how eloquent she is, she is just struggling to survive. Why should she pollute your ears?"

Ruyi looked at the emperor who was lying on the couch and seemed to be lifeless with complicated eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Yao Fei, are you planning to use the emperor's life to exchange for my life?"

"Of course not." Concubine Yao sneered and straightened her messy collar.

"This poison was found by Prince Shun, and there is no antidote. Even if there is, I will not hand it over.

It's just that, after you took great pains to uncover Yongxuan's secret and overthrow me, do you think you can win for sure and maintain your prosperity and favor forever?

ridiculous.

Think carefully, when the emperor wakes up, given his temper, what will happen to you?"

Hearing this, Ruyi and Wei Yanwan looked at each other and fell into silence for a long time.

You could hear a pin drop in the hall. Concubine Yao laughed more and more complacently, and each word she wrote was like a ghost following them, cruelly announcing their common fate.

"When the emperor wakes up, you will all die like me!

At most, I will be the mastermind, and I will die if I win or lose. But you, too, will be guilty of not reporting the crime, or even deliberately condoning it.

Are you really willing to put your future on this stubborn, selfish, stubborn, heartless and cruel old man on the couch?"

Concubine Yao whispered to Ruyi, "Instead of doing such a thankless job, why don't you join me in killing this tyrant and enthroning a new emperor?

Don’t worry. Yongxuan is so young and can’t even walk. How can he ascend the throne and become emperor?

When the time comes, the world will be divided equally between us. The Queen will still be the Queen Mother, and I will be the Queen Mother.

Wouldn't it be great to rule the country together and discuss state affairs without being bound by this bastard's constraints and face? "

"I will not go along with you in such a rebellious act."

Ruyi's eyes were stern and she refused flatly, not wanting to back down even for a moment.

Rong Pei also stepped forward and stood between Concubine Yao and Ruyi, glaring at them angrily.

"You are courting death, and you want to drag the Queen down with you. This is simply wishful thinking!"

Looking at the master and servant talking about benevolence, righteousness and morality, Concubine Yao smiled crookedly and spat on the ground in a vulgar manner.

"Hypocrisy, really hypocritical! Since you are so ungrateful and refuse to accept my toast but insist on drinking the penalty wine, then we will just have to wait and see.

I want to see if you can still be as calm and loyal to the emperor as you are now when Prince Shun attacks the palace!"

Ruyi's hands hanging by her side were clenched into fists and trembling slightly, but her face remained fearless as she refuted the situation sternly.

"Your Majesty and I are not only the empress, but also husband and wife. If I die for my loyalty at the hands of a traitor, I will never regret it!"

"Good! Good! Good! Queen, oh Queen, they are right, you really love the Emperor terribly.

A man's infatuation can still be explained, but a woman's infatuation cannot be explained. The ancients were not deceiving me.

I just don't know whether your sincerity is as precious as a treasure or as worthless as a blade of grass in the eyes of the emperor.

In this case, I will not persuade you any more. I will show mercy and let you and the emperor live in the underworld, continue to respect each other, and be a pair of fateful mandarin ducks who depend on each other for life and death..."

Concubine Yao smiled and retreated, and adjusted the kingfisher branch hairpin on the flag with her white hand.

In an instant, her expression suddenly turned ferocious, she yanked out her hairpin, turned around and pounced on the emperor who was lying on the bed without any chance to fight back...

"stop!"

It was too late for Ruyi to stop it.

The hairpin pierced into the flesh, making a dull sound. The smell of blood filled the hall, exuding a pungent and desperate smell.

"Poisonous woman, how dare you really assassinate me?"

The emperor's hoarse and angry voice suddenly sounded.

Then, the thin body of Concubine Yao was kicked away like a piece of paper. Then she fell against the wall and slid softly to the ground.

The situation took a sudden turn for the worse. On the bright yellow dragon couch, the emperor, who should have been dying, slowly sat up with a healthy blush on his cheeks. He didn't look sick at all.

At his side, Jinzhong was holding his arm, gnashing his teeth and bearing the pain as he stood by his side, "Your Majesty, are you okay?"

The hairpin that Concubine Yao had just thrust was aimed directly at the Emperor's heart.

Fortunately, Jinzhong had been secretly observing Concubine Yao's every move, so he reacted in time, using his arm as a shield to block the attack for the emperor.

In a hurry, Jinzhong no longer cared about the hierarchy between master and servant, or about being gentle with women, and kicked Concubine Yao away.

Ignoring the blood stains oozing from the corners of her lips, Concubine Yao looked at the emperor's "resurrection" in horror, her whole body trembling.

"You...how could you..."

"Humph, you are just a woman, and you dare to poison me?"

The emperor snorted coldly and raised his hand, revealing a golden needle hidden in the palm of his hand.

That was the golden needle that Jiang Yubin had left for the emperor in advance. If you pierce this acupoint in the palm of your hand, you will be immune to all poisons, and all other acupuncture will be ineffective.

"Empress Yao, you may be too proud and forget that I am not a fool.

I have also climbed to the throne step by step through decades of blood and gore. Your little tricks are not good enough in front of me."

After removing the silver needles left on the emperor's body by the imperial physician Xi, Ruyi stepped forward and gently placed the cloak on the emperor's shoulders.

"I'm glad that His Majesty is alright. Concubine Yao has confessed everything.

She had an affair with Prince Shun and gave birth to an illegitimate child, Yongxuan. And the poison she gave to the emperor was also related to Prince Shun. What do you think, how should we deal with Concubine Yao?"

The emperor raised his hand, held Ruyi's hand in his palm, and looked at her affectionately.

"I heard all those things. Ruyi, you are the mother of a country and the person I trust the most.

I'll leave the affairs of the harem to you. Concubine Yao deserves to die, but she must not die too easily..."

Concubine Yao huddled in the corner in despair, her back in excruciating pain from the violent collision.

The physical pain was still manageable, but the mental shock made her feel like she was on the verge of mental collapse.

Concubine Yao bit her fingers like a mad woman and smiled bitterly at herself.

At this point, what else could she not understand? It turned out that Ruyi was not the only one who plotted against her.
