Two unwelcome people came to Jingyang Palace, but no one stopped them.
Wanyanhu came with Liu Chan's will to ease the relationship with Concubine Wu, but it is still unclear whether Wanyanhu wants to ease the relationship.
"Isn't this Yucairen? I don't know what the wind is like today, but he actually wants to visit my sister."
Concubine Wu chuckled lightly, looked at Wanyan Hu in front of her and said.
"I just want to tell you that you should leave the palace as soon as possible so as not to hinder my eyes here."
"This should be said by me as a sister. You, a concubine with a lower status than me, dare to be so presumptuous when you see me not being polite."
Wanyanhu found a place to sit down, "Oh, I heard that before I entered the palace, His Majesty favored my sister the most. But why doesn't His Majesty come to my sister's place recently?"
After saying that, Yanhu took a piece of pastry and tasted it, making a sound of admiration.
"This pastry is really good. It's indeed better than mine. It's no wonder that Your Majesty comes to my sister's place to try it occasionally, but it's just occasionally. How can I be like my sister? Your Majesty comes to my place every day and almost eats it.
I regard it as my bedroom."
"Even if Your Majesty doesn't come, I'll be happy. If this pastry is delicious, I can ask the chef here to teach you. It won't save Your Majesty from running away to me! But sister, Your Majesty comes to your place every day.
But I’ve never seen you with a higher status than me. Hahaha.”
Wanyanhu's eyes widened. She hated people mentioning this matter the most. "Don't worry, you won't be so proud for long. Soon, I will let you bow obediently when you see me."
"Sister, what are you kidding me about? You still want to surpass me in status. It won't be possible for another eight hundred years. Neither His Majesty nor the courtiers will agree."
"Well, let's just wait and see. Not only will my status surpass you, I will also be the queen of the Song Dynasty."
"Oh, sister, you're making me laugh so hard." Concubine Wu kept slapping the table, completely lacking the etiquette of a concubine in the harem, smiling frivolously, and not caring about Wanyan Hu at all.
Wanyanhu clenched his fists, with a sneer on his face: "Yeah, sister will still be smiling so happily for a while."
After saying that, Wanyanhu took out a pill from his arms and swallowed it in one gulp.
"What are you eating?"
Concubine Wu sensed something was wrong and stood up in a hurry.
Wanyanhu's smile got even bigger, and he pointed at Concubine Wu and said tremblingly: "Yes, it's poisonous."
After saying that, he fainted and fell unconscious.
"ah!"
Concubine Wu screamed and was at a loss.
"Come on, come on, come on, people in Yucai are poisoned, people in Yucai are poisoned."
Wanyanhu's maid, Xiaohong, hurriedly yelled for someone to come over.
The Jingyang Palace was suddenly buzzing with excitement.
Xining Palace
Under the full treatment of the imperial doctor, Wanyan Hu was finally out of danger. When Liu Chan heard what he said, he also exhaled a long breath and felt relieved.
He came to Wanyanhu's bedside and gently touched Wanyanhu's face with gentle movements and a look of infatuation on his face.
"Don't worry, my beloved, I will never let you suffer like this."
After saying that, Liu Chan left Xining Palace and went to Jingyang Palace.
After Liu Chan left, Wanyanhu immediately opened his eyes and sat up.
"Mother, you should continue to lie down now and not be discovered by others."
"Yes, I know. You should go to Concubine Wu immediately, write down all the circumstances, and report back to me in detail."
"yes."
"Concubine Wu, I want you to know who is in charge in this harem."
Liu Chan came to Jingyang Palace and saw Concubine Wu sitting on the bed with a pale face, motionless. The anger in her heart was immediately replaced by love and pity, and she silently came to her side.
Seeing Liu Chan coming, Concubine Wu quickly asked: "Your Majesty, is Yucai Ren okay?"
"Don't worry, the imperial doctor said there is nothing serious. It just needs to be recuperated for a while."
"That's good, that's good."
Liu Chan held his forehead and sighed, "What happened today? I asked Yucai to come and ease the relationship with you. Why did you get poisoned?"
"Your Majesty, you really don't care about my concubine's affairs. It was the talented man who took the poison himself."
"What?"
Liu Chan's big eyes were full of doubts, not knowing what Concubine Wu was talking about.
"Your Majesty is true. The maid next to me can prove it."
"Do you think the courtiers will believe what you say? I'm not a fool, so why do you want to fool me like this?"
"Your Majesty, I definitely did not poison you. It was clearly the talented man who framed me."
"In that case, let the maid come in."
"Palace maid? What palace maid?"
"You'll know it when you see it."
Concubine Wu saw a palace maid walking in. Concubine Wu took a closer look and saw that the palace maid was clearly from her own palace.
"This slave is here to meet His Majesty."
"Get up and tell me again what you just said to me."
"Yes." The palace maid glanced at Concubine Wu secretly, and continued: "Yesterday, the concubine found her servant and said that the talented lady is coming here today and wants her to poison her pastries."
"Your Majesty, this is a frame-up. I have never done anything like this before."
Before the palace maid finished speaking, she was interrupted by Concubine Wu.
"There are witnesses and physical evidence, but you still want to make excuses."
"But I really didn't poison you."
"You are so outrageous. I don't think I will punish you severely. You don't know how to repent." Liu Chan stood up, turned his back to Concubine Wu, and issued an imperial edict that shocked everyone: "Concubine Wu has a vicious heart and acts wantonly.
He will be thrown into the cold palace and not allowed to go out."
Concubine Wu was stunned immediately and could not say anything.
It was only after Liu Chan left that Concubine Wu came to her senses and screamed that she was wronged, but no one paid attention to her.
In a corner outside Jingyang Palace,
"You did a good job this time, and this is your reward."
Xiaohong took out more than a dozen taels of silver and handed it to the palace maid who had just reported the crime.
"Thank you sister for the reward."
The palace maid suddenly beamed with joy, completely unaware of Xiao Hong's secretly drawn sword.
"Bah."
"you."
The palace maid turned back and looked at Xiao Hong with a smile on her face in disbelief. She stretched out her hand to grab something, but finally fell down weakly.
"You're so stupid. How could such a thing be left alive like this? You're a money-hungry bastard, and no one will feel sorry for you if you die."
Xiaohong dragged the palace maid's body and finally threw her into an abandoned well, clapped her hands, then turned and left.
The birds on the roof watched this scene without making any sound, nor were they frightened to leave. They had seen things like this countless times in the palace.
If they were frightened and left every time, they would have been frightened to death.
