Chapter 111 Eunuch He is Really Not Good 7
Wen Ningmo and Luo Bai were close friends. Just as he was about to get closer and say some dirty words like he always did, he felt his nose move. This smell...
His eyes flickered as he asked, "Where did you go just now?"
Luo Bai didn't respond, just looked at him.
Wen Ningmo sighed: "Forget it, I won't ask. But the person you are close to must be good at poison, so be careful."
Luo Bai's pupils changed slightly. Since he wanted to use Yun Zhiyue, he must thoroughly investigate the other party's background. The message sent back never mentioned the poison...
Even when Luo Bai was in the deep palace and was surrounded by evil spirits all day long, Wen Ningmo had no intention of getting in trouble.
He picked up the teacup on the table and refilled it himself, taking a sip, and jokingly said, "I have to ask you this every time we meet, do you really want to be a eunuch for the rest of your life?"
"You are a natural eunuch, not castrated. Just let me treat you. Then when you meet a woman you like, the title of eunuch is a joke."
Luo Bai's purple eyes drooped, and he did not ignore this as usual: "It doesn't matter whether he is a eunuch or not. What I want is not the body, but the brain."
Wen Ningmo shook his head and said, "Power is a good thing, but in my opinion, it is more fun to roam freely in the martial arts world. Unfortunately, I was born in the Wen family, so I have no choice either."
The two of them were clearly drinking tea, but they were clinking cups together as if they were drinking wine.
While chatting and laughing, Luo Bai also revealed a smile from the heart.
The Feng Palace is extremely lively on the first and fifteenth day of every month. Not only must the emperor stay overnight with the empress, but all the concubines, both great and small, are welcome to come.
This is to highlight the honor of the Queen as the main wife.
Anyone who doesn't come is not giving face to the Queen, and the Queen will be looked down upon if she doesn't deal with the person.
Seeing that all the concubines had gathered but the imperial concubine had not yet arrived, the queen's face gradually became filled with gloom.
The timid concubines had turned pale with fear and dared not utter a word, while the fearless ones began to instigate, fearing that the fight between the two sides was not intense enough.
The four concubines under the Imperial Concubine include Concubine De and Concubine Liang. Both of them were veterans when the Emperor was in hiding in the Prince’s Mansion and they have experienced too many storms.
Even though Ronghua is not here, she still has the feeling of companionship. Although she does not get much favor from the position of concubine, she still has the proper honor.
Defei picked up the teacup to hide her face of enjoying the show, and did not add insult to injury.
Concubine Liang couldn't hold back any longer. Compared to these old ladies, Imperial Concubine Yan Mei was a marriage arranged by His Majesty after he became emperor, and she sat directly above them on the throne of Imperial Concubine. Who could be happy about that?
Hence the yin and yang tone.
"Everyone knows what day it is today. Is the Imperial Concubine unable to get up because she is not feeling well? It's strange. His Majesty stayed in Chongyang Palace yesterday."
The Queen slapped the edge of the table heavily: "How outrageous!"
At this time, the maid from Feng Palace came to report: "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine's personal maid came to report that the imperial concubine caught a cold early in the morning and is now running a fever. She really can't come to pay her respects."
"The Imperial Concubine has already informed His Majesty. His Majesty said... that there is a fifteenth every month, and this one is no different, so His Majesty should not make a fuss about it."
The armor on the queen's hand was broken by the crush. She was obviously very angry. But what could she do when her husband was on the side of that bitch concubine?
We can't let all the concubines in the palace laugh at this.
"Since you are seriously ill, you should rest well. I will not argue with the concubines. I will ask the Jingshifang to remove the imperial concubine's nameplate. I believe that when the imperial concubine comes to pay respects on the first day of the next lunar month, she will be in good health."
Concubine De couldn't hold back her laughter and said, "The Queen is worthy of being the master of the six palaces. She is generous and makes reasonable arrangements. I admire you."
The Queen did not comment on what Concubine De meant.
Looking around at everyone, he said, "I like this flower tea more recently. It nourishes qi and blood and is suitable for women to maintain their health. You should also pay attention to your health on weekdays so that you can serve His Majesty well. Have a cup and go back."
The palace maids came on stage one after another, each holding a white jade soup bowl filled with fragrant tea.
Many concubines stood up to thank the queen and began to taste the wine. It is unknown how many of them actually drank it.
Yun Zhiyue discovered one thing: all the concubines who had recently entered the palace and were favored had palace maids watching them from behind, so it was impossible to fake this situation.
Forget it, let’s see if I can find a chance to vomit into my long sleeves.
Yun Zhiyue had just picked up the bowl of soup when she saw a new concubine walking past her and spitting into her sleeve, which was pointed out by a palace maid.
Yun Zhiyue: “…”
The Queen was furious: "You are so reluctant to give me a reward. Do you think I tampered with the soup?"
That concubine was only an eighth-rank concubine, and she was promoted because of the emperor's favor.
How could he dare to face the Queen's anger? He knelt down tremblingly: "Queen, I... I didn't mean that..."
Yun Zhiyue narrowed her eyes, suddenly rushed out of the crowd, picked up the scented tea that the concubine had wasted half, and drank it all in one gulp.
"The Queen has good intentions. You are going too far. This tea is delicious. There is nothing wrong with it. How can you make the Queen angry on such an important day?"
Seeing Yun Zhiyue come to her rescue, she drank the remaining scented tea to prove that it was not poisonous.
The queen looked at Yun Zhiyue's superior figure, and as she thought of something, her gloomy expression changed.
She said in a gentle voice, "Well, the people in the harem are complicated, and there are many suspicious concubines. I did something bad with good intentions. Since Chang Xianshi is suspicious of me, you don't need to come to pay respects to me in the future."
For a concubine of such a humble position, the queen's words were no different from banishing her to the cold palace. The concubine broke down and cried and was dragged out.
Yun Zhiyue seemed not to understand her expression and said disdainfully, "The Queen was so kind that she didn't punish him, but now she's crying. She's too squeamish."
The queen chuckled and pulled Yun Zhiyue to her side to look at her carefully: "You are a person who likes to stand up for the weak. I haven't seen a concubine with a straightforward personality in many years."
"Come on, since you like this flower tea, drink more."
The Queen gave a look and a palace maid handed the glass to Yun Zhiyue. Yun Zhiyue didn't care at all and drank another glass.
"It smells so good. I will be back in the palace soon. Your Majesty, can you let me bring back some prepared tea bags?"
The queen was amused and laughed, changing her previous unhappy mood: "He is so naughty, he wants to eat and take at the same time."
Yun Zhiyue said all kinds of nice things and the two of them had a joyful conversation. All the concubines in the palace felt mixed emotions when they saw Yun Zhiyue had won the Queen's favor.
Defei and Liangfei, who were also drinking scented tea with their heads down, looked at Yun Zhiyue with inexplicable eyes.
There have been concubines who wanted to become the queen over the years, but not a single one survived.
There was always a resentful gaze in the crowd looking at Yun Zhiyue, and he met it casually.
Yun Zhiyue raised her eyebrows, a hint of sarcasm flashing in her eyes. Xu Pin clenched her fingers tightly, the poison in her heart was about to boil.
Yun Zhiyue was in a good mood as he passed another hurdle safely and successfully found a temporary backer.
However, just as he was about to go to bed at night, he was put into a sack and carried out of the palace...
Damn it, if it wasn't for the breath of Qingxue that allowed her to determine who the person was, she would have almost turned around and sprinkled a handful of poison. How dare she put Ben Liangyuan in a sack? How dare she be so courageous!
Being thrown roughly to the ground, Yun Zhiyue twisted herself into a pretzel before she could take off the sack.
What she saw was Luo Bai's dead face and a strange man in the uniform of an imperial physician who was looking at her with interest.
