God favors the troublemaker, and the protagonist is forced to become evil

Chapter 90: The Palace Maid's Guide to Advancement 38

Ming Fei died in the cold palace in October, and her death did not cause much splash.

However, the father and son of the Ming family were reported and dismissed from their posts. Concubine Ming had already collected all the crimes of the Ming family in the past ten years, and would report them as soon as the Ming family showed signs of turning things around.

Ming family, don’t ever think about turning things around, just continue to stay in this world in pain.

The harem returned to peace because of Ming Fei's death. Dongfang Yu had to suspect that Ming Fei was the most vicious woman in the harem. Sure enough, as soon as she died, the harem returned to its former peace.

Concubine Jing was also punished for plotting to assassinate the emperor together with Concubine Ming. As a result, the Jing family fell into silence and lost its former glory.

Time flies, and it’s New Year’s Eve again.

Everyone sat at the table, toasting each other.

Although joyful music continued to reach our ears, everyone's mood was not good and the atmosphere was a little depressing.

This year, many people in the harem seemed to have passed away. The lively people who had been sitting there before were now nowhere to be seen.

At this time, the eunuch from the imperial kitchen brought a bowl of meal and said, "Your Majesty, this is a new food developed by the chief steward, it is called Nine Treasures Pearl Soup." He brought the bowl of soup and said a lot of auspicious words to create a happy atmosphere.

Dongfang Yu also hoped that the New Year would bring new changes, so he gave the rewards with a smile.

"Player Zining, this is highly poisonous. Stop him from eating it." The system prompted Zining.

"Your Majesty~" Zining sat in the seat closest to Dongfang Yu. She called Dongfang Yu sweetly, but her eyes were staring at the soup in Dongfang Yu's hand.

Dongfang Yu smiled and said, "My beloved concubine is already a mother of three children, but she still has such a childish mentality. Well, my beloved concubine, eat first."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zining took it happily and enjoyed it slowly.

However, after she took the first bite, she said to Dongfang Yu, "Your Majesty, this thing only looks good, but it is not delicious. I don't like it, Your Majesty..."

Before Zining could finish his words, blood started to flow from the corner of his mouth. Afterwards, Zining felt severe pain all over his body...

"Someone, call the imperial physician! Seal off the palace!" Dongfang Yu realized that something was wrong. Someone had poisoned the soup.

If Zi Ning hadn't been greedy and wanted to taste it, it would probably be him lying on the ground.

Zi Ning was carried to the nearest palace, where the imperial physician immediately gave him acupuncture to remove the poison and asked someone to prepare an antidote.

"Your Majesty, I can only suppress the poison temporarily. The poison that Concubine Chen was poisoned with is the Southern Xinjiang ghost poison, which can kill people in an instant. Fortunately, Concubine Chen did not eat much, and the rescue was timely, so the poison has not yet entered the heart. However, this poison requires the Southern Xinjiang Gardenia Leaf as a medicine to detoxify. This medicine is hard to find, Your Majesty, please make a decision as soon as possible, the Queen can only survive for seven days at most."

The imperial physician did not dare to speculate on the emperor's intentions and could only offer suggestions.

"Zhang Fuquan, send people to southern Xinjiang as fast as possible to find medicine, and post the imperial edict in Beijing to find medicine. Go quickly." Dongfang Yu was anxious. He was afraid that Zining would leave him, and he couldn't bear to let her go.

"When will she wake up? Can she wake up?" Dongfang Yu asked the imperial physician behind him again. He hoped that she could wake up and at least talk to him.

"Your Majesty, the queen cannot wake up for the time being. She can only wake up by taking the antidote. Perhaps Your Majesty can find the person who poisoned her, and that person may have the antidote." The imperial physician was horrified. How could this person wake up after being poisoned? It's good enough that she didn't die.

"Yes, come here, call the Minister of Justice and the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court over here, go quickly." Dongfang Yu suddenly remembered that the person who poisoned the food has not been found yet, maybe that person has the antidote.

On this side, Dongfang Yu asked people to quickly find the person who poisoned the food. On the other side, Dongfang Jin brought his younger brother and sister to Zining's bed.

"Mother, wuwuwu...Aunt, what happened to mother?" Dongfang Jin, who was only three years old, looked at his mother's pale face lying on the bed, lifeless. He was scared.

"No... don't cry." Little Chenxi stood up, held his brother's arm, and used his little hands to wipe away Dongfang Jin's tears.

Xiao Chenyang had no idea what was going on. Seeing his older brother crying, he started crying too.

Little Chenxi was in a panic and didn't know which brother to wipe her tears for, and then she burst into tears too.

After meeting with the ministers, Dongfang Yu returned to the inner hall and heard the crying of three children. The evil sound was lingering in his ears, and no matter how Ran Mo and the others tried to comfort them, it didn't work.

"You guys, stop crying. Come to your father." Dongfang Yu had a splitting headache. Zining's children were usually well-behaved and didn't like to cry. Now they must have sensed their mother's danger. Mother and children are really connected.

"Father, why is mother sleeping all the time?" Dongfang Jin hugged Dongfang Yu's calf in a baby voice, and the two little ones behind him followed suit and surrounded Dongfang Yu's legs.

"Your mother is just temporarily unwell and will be well soon. You should behave yourself and stop crying. Let's go to Zichen Palace for the next few days. Father will accompany you, okay?"

Dongfang Yu was afraid that Zi Ning couldn't take care of so many children, so he simply took them back to Zichen Palace to look after them himself.

Because Dongfang Yu ordered a quick investigation, the murderer was found the next night.

Dongfang Yu asked someone to bring Concubine Jing up and asked her for the antidote.

Concubine Jing smiled. Her head was covered with hairpins and rings, and her makeup was exquisite. She did not look at all shabby.

"Your Majesty, when I poisoned you, I wanted to kill you. How could I have an antidote to leave myself a way out? It's a pity for Concubine Chen. She is really an unlucky bitch. Hahahaha..." Dongfang Yu really didn't want to deal with this crazy woman. When he heard that there was no antidote, he asked someone to drag her away.

"Your Majesty, you are so cruel. You have never taken Huang'er to the Purple Palace, but now you have taken all three children of that bitch. You are so cruel. Even if I become a ghost, I will not let you go. Huang'er will come back every night to visit his father..."

Concubine Jing was screaming hysterically. Her inner dissatisfaction had already reached its peak. What she wanted was for Dongfang Yu to die. What a pity.

She reached an agreement with Ming Fei that she would help Ming Fei kill the Ming family members, and Ming Fei would prepare a poison for her that could take a person's life instantly.

As long as Dongfang Yu died, she could support Loupin's second prince to ascend the throne, then leave the mother and son behind and become the empress dowager herself.

what a pity.

When Dongfang Yu learned that the medicine was a poison from Southern Xinjiang, he sent people to search Ming Fei's palace, but unfortunately no antidote was found.

Later, they searched Concubine Jing's palace, but still couldn't find the antidote.

Dongfang Yu hasn't slept well these past few days. It's already the fifth day, and there's still no good news. Does he really have to watch Zining die?

"Player Zining, do you still want to wake up?" The system felt distressed when seeing Dongfang Yu's anxious look.

Don't love too much.

An emperor actually looks like this.

Oh my god.
