Rebirth as Princess Jin again

There was silence in the palace for a while, and the atmosphere was so oppressive that it made people breathless. The Queen Mother rubbed her sore forehead: "I'm afraid that you will be arrested as soon as you return to the Sun Palace in a while, but if you don't go back tonight, I'm afraid that the emperor will come to the Yongshou Palace of the Ai family tomorrow to arrest people. Not only will you die, but the Ai family will also be implicated, Yue'er, this matter is much more serious than you think."

Yue'er naturally knew what the Queen Mother meant when she said this. He lowered his head and thought for a while, then said calmly: "I am willing to go to pieces for the sake of the Queen Mother. I just ask the Queen Mother to let me die a happy death. This matter happened because of me, but I don't want to harm the Queen Mother and Prince Su."

The Queen Mother's eyes moved slightly: "Don't worry, the Ai family knows that you are a loyal person, and the Ai family will definitely comfort your family and make you worry-free."

After listening to the Queen Mother's words, Yue'er knew that her time was short, but there are few people who can be calm in the face of death. She said in a trembling voice: "Thank you, Queen Mother!"

The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction and said to the palace maid beside her: "Go and get the medicine bottle locked in the box!"

The palace maid withdrew in response, and soon took out a small white porcelain bottle, and handed it to Yue'er at the Queen Mother's signal: "This contains snake venom. I specially asked people to carefully extract it. It will not cause an immediate attack after taking it. It takes about half It will happen after a few hours, and it will kill you in an instant. There will be no pain, just take it!"

Yue'er's body was shaking like chaff, and she took the medicine bottle with trembling hands. She didn't want to die, but if she didn't die in this situation, her family outside the palace would be used by the Queen Mother to threaten her. She...had no choice.

Yue'er thought of her family, her heart skipped a beat, she opened the bottle cap, drank the medicine, then said goodbye to the Queen Mother and left Yongshou Palace.

As soon as Yue'er returned to Jiaoyang Palace, she noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere. She walked towards her residence. As soon as she walked into the courtyard, she realized that there was an unusual atmosphere in the quiet and dark courtyard.

She pushed the door open and went in as if nothing had happened. Sure enough, there was someone in the house, and the lights in the house suddenly turned on.

She was slightly surprised for a moment, then quickly bowed and saluted: "I've met Princess Jin. Wish you a happy princess!"

Su Ying didn't look at her, she just shook the tea cup in her hand and said to Shen Yu next to her: "Ayu, do you know what kind of tea I have in my hand?"

Shen Yu smiled and said: "Princess, I don't like to drink tea on weekdays. I don't have much research on this. For me, tea is just for quenching thirst. Other subordinates don't know."

Su Ying lowered her head and took a sip, and said slowly: "As far as I know, the monthly salary of the palace maid is two taels a month, and the monthly salary of the personal palace maid is three taels, but the tea in my hand is Pu'er tea, and the taste is a bit astringent. , it should be this year’s new tea. I heard that there was not much Pu’er production this year, most of it was sent as tribute to the palace, and the emperor rewarded it to the concubine and the queen mother, and even the Jin Palace only got two taels.”

"Miss Yue'er is so proud that she can collect such high-quality Pu'er, which really surprises me."

Su Ying never let Yue'er stand up. She endured her sore legs and said with a smile, "How can I collect such precious tea leaves? It's just that Princess Jiaoyang doesn't like to drink tea, so she specially gave it to me. I haven't had it yet." I’m willing to drink it.”

"Really?" Su Ying smiled: "That's because I was reckless. Without your consent, I brewed the treasure that you have always been reluctant to drink."

Yue'er hurriedly said: "Princess, you're welcome. It's my blessing that the princess condescends to come and sit in this slave's room for a while."

Su Ying raised her hand: "I was busy talking, but I forgot to tell you to get up, get up!"

"Thank you, Princess!" Yue'er's legs were almost trembling. She finally stood up and sighed secretly.

Su Ying filled another cup of Pu'er tea and asked with a half-smile: "It's so late, where did Miss Yue'er go?"

Yue'er knew what she meant, but she was not sure who the person outside the house was, so she answered cautiously: "I am homesick. I just went to Yongshou Palace to chat with my former sisters!"

Su Ying stared at her without saying a word. Her face that had been smiling like a spring breeze suddenly turned cold: "Missing home? Did you know that the medicine you gave to Jiao Yang during the day was poisoned again? She almost died because of you, and you actually You still want to go to the Yongshou Palace to chat. I think you are not going to chat, but to find your master to help you make decisions, right?"

Yue'er pretended to be shocked and knelt down and said: "Princess, you are wronged. The medicine was sent directly by people from the Taiyang Hospital. When I took the medicine, there was someone supervising me to fry it and bring it to Princess Jiaoyang's room. , I didn’t let anyone else handle the whole process. If the princess doesn’t believe it, you can ask the imperial guard who supervised me at the time. Didn’t this slave do anything?”

Su Ying leaned forward and stared at her with a faint smile: "So, you have found all the witnesses?"

"This slave just told the truth. Please don't blame this slave for nothing!" Yue'er lowered her head and did not dare to look at Su Ying. She always felt that Su Ying's eyes were like a mirror, and she could always see the fear in her heart. .

"Put the blame on you!" As she said these words, the hot tea in Su Ying's hand splashed on Yue'er's face, and her beautiful and fair face instantly turned red. Yu'er didn't dare to move. , could only endure the stinging cheeks and tremble all over.

"You can bear it. Normal palace maids would scream when they encounter such scalding boiling water. Your patience just proves that you are no ordinary palace maid, but a trained secret guard." Su Ying Leng said the voice.

Only then did Yue'er realize that her subconscious patience gave Su Ying the opportunity to seize her advantage. She kowtowed and said, "Princess, please forgive me. I am just a little palace maid, not a secret guard. The princess is kind to me." , how could this slave poison her?"

"Princess, if you really don't have an antidote that can save the princess, just confess it directly to the emperor. I believe that the emperor will not accuse you more for the sake of His Highness Prince Jin. There is no need for you to throw everything away in order to absolve yourself of your guilt. The charge of poisoning is placed on this slave!"

Su Ying snorted coldly: "She is quite sharp-tongued, Ah Yu. It seems we have underestimated her."

Ayu smiled coldly: "No matter how sharp-tongued she is, her companion Xiao Congzi has already been recruited. If she doesn't recruit him, he will be sent to the rape room. She will not be able to do anything about it then."

Yue'er raised her head, revealing half of her face that was reddened, and said in a trembling voice: "I'm not familiar with Xiao Congzi, and the princess knows it. I'm really unjust. Please spare me, princess!"

Su Ying was not angry and said indifferently: "Since you insist on forcing me to torture you, I will not be polite! Shen Yu."

Yue'er panicked and said: "Princess, what are you going to do?"

Shen Yu responded and waved behind him. Upon understanding this, the guard behind him immediately came over and pressed Yue'er down on the bench. Shen Yu took the wooden stick thicker than his arm and waved towards Yue'er's back without hesitation.

Yue'er was shocked. Before she could say anything for mercy, the heavy board came towards her body. The huge pain in her back made her bite the handkerchief tightly in her mouth, begging in her heart for the poison to act quickly so that she could Suffer less.
