Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem

Chapter 166 Forget Worry Powder

For healthy adults, just smelling the smell of rice bags will not have any effect on them.

But for a child like Yongqi, the smell alone was enough to poison him.

Jiang Yubin said that based on the extent of Yongqi's poisoning, he most likely did not ingest the rice bag by mistake, but rather smelled the odor of the rice bag.

Where did the rice sac powder on Kelan Cui come from?

Why is she so reluctant to reveal the origin of this thing?

Why would she carry such dirty things with her?

Seeing Wei Yanwan coming in, Ruyi asked directly, "Yesterday, Lan Cui went to Qixiang Palace to find you. What did you two talk about?"

Wei Yanwan did not deny it, but she did not answer immediately either.

Before she could figure out Ruyi's intention, Wei Yanwan remained silent and did not dare to answer easily.

Ruyi understood what Wei Yanwan was worried about, but she didn't have time to continue testing each other with Wei Yanwan.

Her voice became a little deeper, and she said coldly, "If you delay for a minute longer, Lan Cui will be tortured more.

If Lan Cui were to be tortured into confessing the murder of the Fifth Prince, not only would she herself die, but I would also be implicated.

By saving Lan Cui, I am also protecting my reputation and dignity. If you still want to save Lan Cui, you must answer me truthfully. "

Although Wei Yanwan didn't quite understand what Ruyi was talking about reputation and dignity, when she heard that she wanted to save Lan Cui, she no longer cared about anything else.

She told him everything about Lan Cui looking for her yesterday...

On the steps in a corner of the Forbidden City, Lan Cui lay on Wei Yanwan's knees, suppressing her sobs.

"Yan Wan, Liu promised to hold something against me and threatened me to do things for her.

Chunchan is too busy to see me, and I'm anxious, so I can only come to you to discuss countermeasures.

I knew that Liu Da Ying was from Concubine Hui's palace, and that Concubine Hui and Concubine Yu had always been at odds with each other. I was a little scared.

I don't want to do things for her. But I don't want to implicate Brother Jiuxiao, and I don't want to die.

Yanwan, please help me, what should I do..."

Wei Yanwan felt helpless and distressed as she slowly stroked Lan Cui's trembling back and comforted her, "Lan Cui, you should calm Liu Da Ying for now, this is the right thing to do.

You and Guard Zhao have always been very careful. It was too accidental that you were discovered by Lady Liu this time.

You said Liu promised you to do something. What exactly does she want you to do?

Think about it carefully and tell me, then I can find a solution for you."

Lan Cui tremblingly took out a small paper package from her sleeve. Through the paper package, she could smell a slightly bitter fragrance.

"Liu promised to give me this. She said it's called Forget Worry Powder, and it's a good thing that can calm people's minds and make them forget their worries.

However, it also has a special effect, which is that it can make people who take it very obedient. "

As she spoke, Lan Cui carefully opened the paper package, and a pinch of white powder appeared on the paper.

What comes to your face is a stronger aroma, somewhat similar to the smell of tea.

"In the Yanxi Palace, the person that Concubine Yu trusts the most is me, besides Sister Ye Xin.

So Concubine Yu has always asked me to help take care of Fifth Prince's food and daily life.

Liu promised me to find an opportunity to add this thing to the Fifth Prince's meals, saying that it would make the Fifth Prince rely on and trust me more.

The Fifth Prince is very intelligent and is loved by the Imperial Noble Consort and Consort Yu. With the Fifth Prince's appreciation, my position in the Yanxi Palace will certainly be more secure in the future.

As long as the Fifth Prince is willing to speak for me, then Concubine Yu might ask the Emperor to personally grant me and Brother Jiuxiao a marriage..."

Listening to Lan Cui talking about so many benefits, Wei Yanwan frowned, "What good will it bring to Liu if she agrees to help you like this?"

Lan Cui wiped away her tears and said with hiccups, "Liu Da Ying was also originally a palace maid.

Later, with the recommendation of Empress Xiaoxian in the Imperial Garden, he accepted the offer and agreed.

Liu Da Ying was from Xianfu Palace. Hui Fei was arrogant, and Liu Da Ying said that she was of low status and had a hard time living under Hui Fei's control.

Our master, Concubine Yu, has always been on good terms with the Imperial Noble Concubine and at odds with Concubine Hui.

Ms. Liu wanted to show favor to Concubine Yu through me and the Fifth Prince.

This way, when the Imperial Noble Consort ascends the throne in the future, with Concubine Yu as her guarantor, it won’t be too difficult for her.”

There is nothing wrong with this.

In this palace, everyone has their own difficulties and needs. It is reasonable for Liu to promise to make two plans for his future.

Wei Yanwan couldn't figure out what the white powder was, and said with some concern, "Are you really going to give this thing of unknown origin to the Fifth Prince?

If the truth comes out one day, you will still be doomed to die, considering the favor the Imperial Concubine and Concubine Yu have for the Fifth Prince."

Lan Cui continued with sobs, "Yan Wan, I am really distressed.

If I don't do it, Liu promised to report my affair with Brother Jiuxiao. If I do it, I will be sorry to Concubine Yu and the Fifth Prince.

What should I do? "

Lan Cui's eyes were misty again, "I... I really wish I could just bump my head against the wall and die immediately, so that I can be free from all worries and not implicate anyone..."

"Don't be depressed. You still have Chunchan and me. We will definitely help you." Seeing that Lan Cui had thoughts of committing suicide, Wei Yanwan quickly spoke out to stop her.

"Lan Cui, you can't let go of this. Can you let go of your bodyguard Zhao?

Everything is innocent between you, why are you being coerced?

Lan Cui, if you trust me, I will give you an idea. "

Lan Cui finally stopped crying, and looked at Wei Yanwan with hope in her big eyes.

"As slaves, our masters value our loyalty the most.

The Imperial Concubine is upright and kind. She once helped me when I was humiliated in the greenhouse.

The Imperial Concubine was willing to help even a humble servant like me, which shows her integrity.

Since Concubine Yu is on good terms with Concubine Huang, she must be a sensible person.

In my opinion, you might as well hand this dirty thing directly to Concubine Yu.

Tell Concubine Yu exactly how Liu promised to coerce you into doing something and how you agreed on the surface but actually refused, so that she can see your loyalty.

As for the pearl flower, what's wrong with saying it's yours?

If Concubine Yu is willing to help you recognize it, and regard it as a reward from her to you, I think Liu will not dare to do anything."

Lan Cui's eyes flashed with light, "Of course I know that the Imperial Concubine is a kind person. The Concubine Yu is also easy-going and easy-going.

But the Fifth Prince is the only child of Concubine Yu after all.

If she knew someone was trying to harm the Fifth Prince, would she still be able to act rationally like she is now?"
