The Legend of the Concubine in the Harem

"If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself!" Meng Ronghua felt that she had caught Huisu's handle. She laughed crazily, "Madam Liang, who used to be a palace maid beside my aunt, I remember she was very proficient in medicine, right?"

She looked at a silent woman standing beside Huisu. She looked to be in her forties and was wearing the clothes that the court ladies usually wore. "Madame Liang once took in a maid named Baishuang as her goddaughter, right?"

"That maid had a good family skill in tending to flowers and plants. With the help of Madam Liang's arrangement, she first served in the small garden of Consort Xian in Changrui Palace. Later, she went to the residence of Qian, who was banished to the cold palace... Later, under Bai Shuang's instigation, Qian used the same Datura pollen that you used to kill the Fourth Prince to murder Consort Xie."

As she spoke, she chuckled a few times: "My dear aunt, you may not know that Bai Shuang has a sworn sister in Changrui Palace... I have already sent that little maid out of the palace with the help of the people you gave me, and I also know where you threw Bai Shuang's body... If you, aunt, don't protect me this time, we can die together, so that we can be clean."

Her Meng family has had women entering the palace as concubines for generations, although there has never been a queen, and no sons who ascended the throne...but Meng Ronghua always believed that Huisu must have a lot of hidden power, otherwise the death of the fourth prince would not have become a complete mystery.

Now she doesn't help herself, but wants to poison herself... The fear of death gripped Meng Ronghua's heart tightly. She certainly didn't want to die like this, so she took out the only thing she knew that might threaten Ms. Huisu, and used it as a bargaining chip to seek survival.

However, after Meng Ronghua finished speaking, she waited for a long time, but did not see the expression that she expected from Huisu, the lay Buddhist in front of her.

Lay Buddhist Huisu just looked at her and shook her head: "I have already said that I can't save myself this time. Not only you but also I have to take this medicine... I only hope that we both die first, so that the emperor's anger will be reduced and the whole Meng family will not be implicated and lose their heads."

As she spoke, she ordered her men to hold down Meng Ronghua, who was struggling in disbelief, and force the medicine into his body.

Seeing his niece being fed poison, Huisu shook his head and sighed, "If my son were still alive, our Meng family would be the most noble family in the Great Sheng Dynasty. How could we have fallen to the point of crawling at the feet of the emperor like dogs?"

After reminiscing about her son who was poisoned to death because of his lust for wine and sex, Huisu said, "It will take some time for the poison to take effect. I have other things to do before I die. You'd better behave yourself and stop confronting me, unless... you really want to kill your parents, brothers, and hundreds of people in the Meng family."

Meng Ronghua almost vomited when she felt the medicine turn into a cool liquid and fall into her stomach. She even wanted to dig her throat with her fingers, but she couldn't spit out anything - she had never seen such a poison before, and she still had some hope that Huisu was deceiving or intimidating her.

However, Huisu saw through her thoughts and said coldly, "I got this medicine from... She is much smarter than you. I'm afraid she has noticed our recent movements and deliberately sent the so-called Baishuang's adopted sister to you, calling you a fool... Alas!"

It was useless to say anything now. Huisu took out another pill, split it in two, and ate half of it herself: "I let you take this medicine for your own good, so that you can die less painfully and more decently, and prolong your life. Don't be reborn as a human in your next life. If you are reborn as a human but don't learn how to be a human being, it will affect the lives of your entire family."

As she spoke, blood began to flow from her mouth and nose.

Meng Ronghua quickly touched his face and found that he had no reaction yet.

Lay Buddhist Huisu coughed twice: "Don't just stand there, your medicine will take a while to take effect... No matter how many times I have seen it, I still think some of her tricks are truly miraculous. Why is she so willing to settle for mediocrity?"

If you take a whole pill, you will die suddenly without knowing it after an incense stick of time. If you take half a pill, you will bleed from all seven orifices, which looks horrible, but you will still be able to survive...

Ms. Huisu calmly asked the palace servants to find the imperial physician, and gave instructions one by one. Finally, she grabbed Meng Ronghua, who had finally realized that he was about to die and was in a daze.

"Meng Yanshou, listen to me," Huisu said, pinching her, "Meng gave birth to you and raised you, and you grew up in luxury, but you destroyed your sister's appearance and insisted on entering the palace in her place. Your parents and I indulged your willfulness, but you were still restless and used Meng's people to plot against others, but you haven't succeeded yet... You and I will die today. If you can be more obedient and die with me, the entire Meng family may still have a chance..."

She began to speak with some difficulty, and after a short pause, she continued, "As daughters of the Meng family, we cannot let the Meng family down! You must not let down your parents and brothers who gave birth to you, raised you, and loved you!"

"We must leave them with a legacy, and give the Meng family, a century-old family, hope!"

"Meng Yanshou!"

"Can you understand?!"

At this moment, she seemed to have fallen into madness from her calm and self-control.

Meng Yanshou thought of the love and care his parents had shown him in the past, and he felt an irreparable regret in his heart: "...Aunt, is there really no other way?"

Lay Buddhist Hui Su shook his head: "There is no other way. Even your brother cannot be saved. I can only ask... the emperor to have mercy and spare the life of my poor nephew."

"But we are a noble family. How can His Majesty..."

"Oh, aristocratic family." Huisu laughed sarcastically, "Only families with soft bones and quick kneeling can survive forever, and only families that survive forever are aristocratic families... If aristocratic families are really so powerful and noble, why don't we take over the world and become emperors ourselves?"

"Don't you want to?"

"Or do all the noble families particularly enjoy the feeling of kneeling at the feet of the emperor, shouting "Long live the emperor", offering their daughters to him and becoming his subjects in order to ensure safety?"

She tiredly changed into plain clothes and lay down on the bed.

Meng Ronghua finally gave up and knelt beside Huisu's bed as instructed.

The aunt and niece were waiting together for accountability and punishment from the emperor and empress.

However, they waited and waited, but no one came. Seeing that Meng Ronghua began to look drowsy, Huisu couldn't help but become anxious.

at last.

They waited for Zhao Er, who looked dejected, and Wang Cheng, who escorted Zhao Er and others back.

Wang Cheng smiled and said, "Your Majesty and the Queen are not convenient to come here. If the Queen Dowager has anything to say, please tell me."

Ms. Huisu widened her eyes, she didn't expect that the emperor and empress were unwilling to even come over, and a horrible guess emerged in her mind - she always thought that it was Cairen Xie who had taken advantage of the situation and trapped Meng Ronghua, but looking at the emperor and empress's attitude now, she was afraid... she was afraid that they also knew the inside story clearly!

Only the aunt and niece were played like monkeys!

She struggled: "...Emperor...Empress! Go tell the Empress that before I leave, I asked her for a pot of purple-red Huaying!"
