Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem

Chapter 330 The Secret of the Cold Medicine

However, the emperor's attitude ultimately disappointed Concubine Yao.

The emperor was not a foolish man who was blinded by lust, and he was not easily fooled by Concubine Yao's pitiful appearance.

He raised his beard and said in a deep voice, "Yaopin, we have all the evidence, what else do you have to say?

I thought you were a gentle and kind person, but I didn't expect that you have such a vicious heart inside!"

Yaopin closed her eyes, collapsed in despair, and knelt softly on the ground. Under the shadow of her eyelashes, her tightly closed eyelids were constantly surging with an uneasy breath.

The spittle that spurted out of the emperor's mouth when he reprimanded her almost washed away the last bit of dignity of Concubine Yao.

"Yaopin, when it comes to pretense, I think you are the best in the harem! When death is imminent, do you still dare to deceive the emperor in my Yongshou Palace?

You vicious bitch, I can only blame myself for not seeing through your evil heart earlier. That’s why you took advantage of the opportunity and harmed me and the heir to the throne!”

If her body would not allow it, E Yinzhu really wanted to go up and slap Concubine Yao a few times, tearing her pitiful little white flower to pieces.

But when she threw the medicine bowl just now, the emperor's reprimand still echoed in her ears. E Yinzhu secretly gnashed her teeth and barely suppressed the impulse in her heart.

But she still refused to give in, crying and making a scene at the top of her voice, "Your Majesty, you must make the decision for me! You must not let this vicious woman, Concubine Yao, go easy on her."

Ruyi's bright eyes showed a look of pity, "Yu Fei is the victim in this matter, and the emperor should comfort Yu Fei."

With Ruyi's advice, the emperor finally turned his gaze back to E Yinzhu who was sitting on the bed and crying miserably.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Yao killed our child. She deserves death! Please issue an order to execute this vicious woman and avenge me and our innocent child!"

E Yinzhu was furious and followed Ruyi's words, begging the emperor regardless of anything.

Before the emperor could say anything, Concubine Yao in the audience suddenly shuddered.

"That's not true! It wasn't me who murdered the heir to the throne, it was Concubine Yu herself!"

This was a matter of life and death, and she finally had an idea. Even if she couldn't escape today, E Yin Zhu couldn't expect to get away with it.

Even if she crawled out of hell, she would cling to Eyinzhu's legs and drag her into the water.

"Yaopin, what nonsense are you talking about? Is there any mother in the world who would have the heart to kill her own child?"

Ruyi frowned and scolded, looking at Concubine Yao as if she was looking at a mad woman.

Seeing that the emperor ignored her, Concubine Yao took half a step towards Ruyi, crying and speaking miserably.

"My Queen, in the past, Wu Mei Niang of the Tang Dynasty strangled her own baby to death in order to overthrow Queen Wang.

Now, Concubine Yu's child has not yet been born. How can she not give up the heir to the throne in order to silence me?"

Ruyi looked at her in confusion, "Why would Concubine Yu want to silence you for no reason?"

Concubine Yao curled her lips in self-mockery, turned to the direction of E Yin Zhu, and a cold light flashed in her eyes, "Of course it's because I have discovered her secret!"

E Yinzhu's eyes widened in shock. She finally realized something, as if an invisible black hand had grasped her heart, causing her breathing to freeze instantly.

"you shut up……"

"Why should I shut up? Your Highness, Concubine Yu dared to do it, so don't you dare let others comment on it?"

Concubine Yao showed a look of disdain and ruthlessly tore through Eyinzhu's scheme.

"Your Majesty, you have been feeling weak and emaciated for some time.

But it's not because of you, but because our Concubine Yu ordered someone to drug you in order to win her favor."

E Yinzhu wanted to find something to cover Concubine Yao's mouth, but the emperor's shocked and angry gaze made her ashamed and afraid, and she could not move.

It's too late.

Concubine Yao told everything she knew.

In order to win the emperor's favor, E'yinzhu got a cold medicine from somewhere and bribed the chef in the imperial kitchen to put the medicine in the emperor's food.

Every time the emperor ate the drugged food, he would not suffer from poisoning or other discomfort symptoms, but he would be unable to move in bed.

The cold medicine was rare, and after being dissolved in food it became colorless and tasteless, making it extremely difficult for the imperial physician to detect it.

However, the eunuchs who tasted the food had long lost their functions due to their physical defects, so the cold medicine had no effect on them.

Every time it was E Yin Zhu's turn to sleep with him, the cook would stop giving him the medicine. That was why the emperor could only have sex with E Yin Zhu during that period, allowing her to monopolize his favor.

With every word Concubine Yao said, the emperor's expression became uglier.

Ruyi stepped forward with concern and supported the emperor's body, which was tense due to anger.

"How important is the health of the dragon's body? How dare you..."

Ruyi suppressed her pain and glared at Concubine Yao, "Concubine Yao, when did you find out that Concubine Yu had drugged you?"

Concubine Yao seemed to have finally come to her senses, covering her chest and sobbing, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I had already discovered the clues when Concubine Yu was made a consort.

Before the ceremony of conferring imperial consort Yu upon Consort Yu, I had been to Yongshou Palace and many palace servants saw it.

I confronted Concubine Yu face to face, but she still refused to admit it. Instead, she insisted that I had committed adultery with her.

At that time, I was just a minor noble and had no real evidence in my hands. How could I dare to go against the favored Concubine Yu?

But I couldn't bear to see the emperor's health damaged, so I had to force her to stop taking the medicine."

Ruyi thought for a moment, then said in silence, "So it seems that the emperor's health gradually improved after Concubine Yu was made a concubine."

"Go check."

The emperor's voice sounded coldly.

"Go check it out!"

It was like a bolt of thunder, accompanied by the sound of teacups breaking. Everyone in the hall fell to their knees, except Li Yu, who staggered and ran out in a hurry.

The chef from the imperial kitchen confessed readily, and the cold medicine was quickly served.

Eyinzhu had already been dragged off the bed and knelt softly on the cold ground.

The emperor was so angry that his throat was gasping, and a damp mist was spreading in the palace, like a sign of an approaching heavy rain.

Beneath the seemingly peaceful, prosperous and glorious harem, there lay such embarrassing disputes and plots.

He plotted against the concubines and the royal heirs, and in the end he even plotted against himself.

The emperor became more and more angry, and the veins on his forehead throbbed. "Is this thing poisonous or not?"

Jiang Yubin crawled forward to check, sweat dripping from his forehead, but he didn't even dare to wipe it off.

"I am useless and failed to notice it earlier. Your Majesty has been ill for many days and has been taking supplements frequently. The medicine is not suitable for the condition. It is really my fault.

However, this medicine is strange. Apart from the effects that Lady Yao just mentioned, I cannot tell whether it is poisonous or not. Please allow me to take some back for detailed examination."

"I didn't ask you. I was asking Concubine Yu. Concubine Yu, is this medicine poisonous or not?"
