The fake daughter of a fallen ghost is reborn

Xue Zhiyi was not good at pharmacology, but he recognized the taste.

In her previous life, she fell from Chunfeng Tower to the prison of Dali Temple because of a poisoning case. A guest died in her room, and the coroner found that he died of poisoning. Later, he found the same poison in her room as that in the deceased's wine glass.

When the people from the Dali Temple were torturing her, they tried to feed the poison into her mouth so that she would admit that she was the one who did it out of fear.

But Xue Zhiyi never gave in. Later, perhaps because they were worried that it would be difficult to report if the suspect died, they finally did not really feed the poison to her.

But she could never forget that taste, that bitter smell with a hint of woody fragrance, which had driven her into despair in her previous life, making her life worse than death.

Looking at the ebony jar, Xue Zhiyi's eyes turned red... This ebony jar is poisonous. If that's the case, then is the Queen Mother's sudden death in her previous life related to this thing?

Thinking of this, Xue Zhiyi looked through the crack in the door and saw Yunxue saying something to Yunshuang and then leaving, leaving Yunshuang alone.

After thinking for a while, she raised the ebony bottle, gritted her teeth, and smashed it hard on the ground.

……

Outside the house, Yunxue, who had finished her errand, went to report to Concubine Ge. Yunshuang, who was waiting outside the house, suddenly heard a noise.

After hesitating for a moment, she pushed open the door and saw that the black sandalwood jar in front of the desk had fallen to the ground at some point and was cracked.

She suddenly looked towards the bed. The quilt was covered with a bulge, and it was obvious that Xue Zhiyi was still asleep. Who knocked over the ebony jar?

In doubt, she tiptoed towards the bed, but did not notice that Xue Zhiyi was approaching quietly behind the curtain.

Xue Zhiyi was holding an inkstone in his hand, and when she was about to lift the quilt, it hit her on the head with a bang.

After checking Yunshuang's breath and confirming that she was just knocked unconscious, Xue Zhiyi breathed a sigh of relief.

She lifted the quilt and found only a few pillows underneath.

Looking at Yunshuang falling to the ground, she had an idea in her mind.

……

This side, the main hall.

After Xue Zhiyi left, Ge Yuanhui also coaxed the empress dowager to play Chupu.

The Queen Mother won a round and teased Ge Yuanhui: "You just know how to give in to me quietly."

Ge Yuanhui smiled slightly: "The Queen Mother is very sharp-eyed and sharp-eared. Yuanhui is convinced."

Putting down the chess pieces, the Queen Mother said, "Forget it. It's no fun to win like this all the time. Go play."

At this moment, Yun Xue came back. She bowed and said, "Queen Mother, Madam, His Majesty the Ninth Prince and Young Master Huo want to fly a kite, and would like to invite all the masters to come and see it."

Knowing that the matter was settled, Concubine Ge smiled comfortably: "This Queen Mother Chu Pu is also tired of playing, I wonder if she wants to go see the children, and take a walk to get rid of the smell of alcohol?"

After thinking for a while, the Queen Mother put her hand on Chai Yue's and slowly stood up: "Okay, let's go for a walk."

So everyone followed the empress dowager to the backyard of Jianzhang Palace.

It was a fine day. Before I saw Huo Wuhui and the Ninth Prince, I could already see a kite flying high in the blue sky.

The imperial concubine accompanied the queen mother and said, "Look, this kite is really well flown."

The Queen Mother was in a good mood today and also said, "Spring is here, it's a good time to fly kites."

"Grandma!"

"Grandma!"

Only two crisp voices were heard, and the Ninth Prince and Huo Wuhui ran over here, with Shi Qi holding the kite's reel behind them.

The two children were having so much fun that beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads.

The Ninth Prince pulled the Queen Mother's skirt and said, "Grandmother, my grandson's kite is flying so high, can I let you cut the string?"

Seeing this, Concubine Ge echoed: "When flying kites, people have the custom of cutting the kite string, which is also called "letting go of bad luck". It means to ward off disasters and diseases, and it is also Ying'er's filial piety."

The Queen Mother liked children, especially sweet-talking children like this one, so she patted the Ninth Prince's head and said, "Good boy, you are thoughtful."

So the Queen Mother took the scissors handed to her by the palace maid and cut the kite string. With a click, the kite flew away with the wind.

The Ninth Prince also bowed obediently: "Ying'er wishes Grandmother a long life, blessed with good health and a long life!"

These childish words made the empress dowager so amused that she seemed to be staring intently at the kite flying away, which made Huo Wuhui a little dazed.

Then the Ninth Prince said, "Grandmother, I want to see the Baixi Bottle!"

The so-called Baixi Bottle is a treasure of the previous dynasty. It had been missing for hundreds of years and was later found by a wandering monk, who presented it to Emperor Gaozu. When the previous emperor was alive, he gave it to the empress dowager. It is extremely precious.

What is even more rare is that such a seemingly ordinary jade bottle, if you place a candle in it, it can reflect the sky color at this moment. If the sky is clear at this moment, it will be faintly blue. If there is a sunset in the sky at this moment, it can reflect the sunset glow.

Concubine Ge rebuked the Ninth Prince: "Ying'er is not allowed to act recklessly."

The queen mother was so happy that she was willing to do anything for her little grandson: "It's okay. The Baixi bottle is in the study. If Ying'er wants to see it, then go and have a look."

But Concubine Ge said, "It's a pity for Miss Xue. She is drunk at the moment and I'm afraid she won't have the chance to see the Baixi Bottle with her own eyes."

After thinking for a while, she said, "Why don't I ask someone to go and see if Miss Xue San has woken up."

An Zhaoyi said sarcastically, "Miss Xue is engaged to His Royal Highness Prince Gong. Your Majesty is truly kind to care about Miss Xue so much."

The imperial concubine only glanced at her calmly. Seeing that the two were about to engage in another verbal battle, the queen mother said, "Go and see her. If she is still drunk, you can ask the imperial physician to make a sobering soup for her."

So Concubine Ge sent Yunxue to go.

Everyone went to the study. Looking at Concubine Ge's actions, Huo Wuyou frowned slightly and followed everyone to the study.

But as soon as he pushed open the door of the study, he saw the floor was in a mess. On the table, there was no Baixi bottle. There were only broken jades on the floor. Not only that, the black sandalwood jar was also smashed to the ground.

Everyone gasped in surprise, and Concubine Ge was shocked: "How could this happen!"

Although there was an unexpected black sandalwood jar among the damaged items, the job was done after all.

Ge Yuanhui also covered his chest, in astonishment: "Is that... the Baixi bottle on the ground?"

"How could it be?!" Huo Zhiyu looked at everything in front of him in disbelief: "And that Wu Tan Zun, that was the birthday gift that the Queen gave to my grandmother... Who did this!"

Walking through the crowd, Huo Wuyou stepped forward and picked up a piece of debris. The familiar jade quality made his heart skip a beat. He stood up, smiling, and held the empress dowager in his arms: "Grandmother, the late emperor gave you many treasures. Although the Baixi Bottle is rare, the late emperor certainly doesn't want you to get upset over this thing."

The Queen Mother took the fragment from Huo Wuyou's hand and looked at the carved pattern that she had touched countless times. She was stunned for a long time before she angrily shouted with grief: "Who did this!"

Everyone knelt down one after another: "Please calm down, Queen Mother!"

At this time, the Ninth Prince, who was kneeling with everyone else, suddenly said in a childish voice, "Grandmother, there is someone sleeping in the bed. Why don't we wake him up and ask him?"

For a moment, everyone's eyes turned towards the bed.

Everyone's attention had just been attracted by the Baixi Bottle and the Wutan Zun. Only now did they realize that the quilt was rising and falling, and it looked like there was clearly someone inside.

Ge Yuanhui was surprised: "Who is so bold as to sleep in the Queen Mother's study?"

At this moment, Yun Xue came hurriedly. Seeing that everyone looked strange, she lowered her eyebrows and said, "Empress Dowager, Imperial Concubine, I just helped Miss Xue to the empty room in the west wing, but Miss Xue is not in the room now."
