Reborn to marry the emperor, I just want to confuse the emperor and seize the throne

As soon as Wuxin left, Zhao Yuntong hurriedly poured the Hehuan Powder into the water cup, not knowing that his every move was seen by Xie Shang.

He thought to himself: This woman came to the Plum Garden in a white dress to play the pipa. Why did she disguise herself as that person? Did she know something? Or did she have news about that person? Or was it just a coincidence?

Xie Shang shook his head. He didn’t know what was wrong with him recently. Maybe it was just a coincidence. Ruan Ruan also wore a white dress that day. It was normal for the young lady of the East Palace to follow suit.

He put aside his doubts and watched all of Zhao Yuntong's actions. He became more and more disgusted with these young ladies in the East Palace, who only knew how to use despicable means.

At this time, Zhao Yuntong adjusted her mentality before bringing the cup of water to Xie Shang, "Your Highness, you must be thirsty! Drink some water first."

Xie Shang slowly opened his eyes, pinched her wrist, and asked in a deep voice, "Who sent you here?"

Zhao Yuntong explained, "What did your highness say? I am the mistress of the East Palace. My name is Zhao Yuntong. Your highness may not have any impression of me. I am... the daughter of the former Minister of Revenue."

Hearing this name, Xie Shang's eyes turned even colder, "How dare you to poison me and murder me? Who sent you to murder me?"

Zhao Yuntong just wanted to gain the favor of the prince. She looked at the water cup and couldn't help being frightened. She quickly explained, "It only contains Hehuan Powder, not poison. How could I possibly murder Your Highness? I just want to be with Your Highness."

Xie Shang grabbed the water cup, pinched her jaw and poured the water into her mouth, then threw her to the ground and said coldly, "Hehuan Powder, this kind of stuff again. Since you all like to use such despicable means, you can taste the taste of Hehuan Powder yourself!"

Zhao Yuntong was already frightened out of her wits. She didn't know that Su Tingwan and Ye Susu had both used the Hehuan Powder to gain his favor. He hated this kind of thing the most. Xie Shang was furious.

I only heard him say in a cold voice: "Someone come!"

Wu Xin came in quickly, "The servant is here."

"Interrogate Gu Yanjia and find out where she got the medicine from." Xie Shang said coldly.

So Wu Xin had someone come in to escort Zhao Yuntong, and brought the maidservant beside her to the prince, "Before I torture you, Miss Zhao, please say whatever you want to say!"

Zhao Yuntong was scared to death. She just wanted to take advantage of the prince's drunkenness to favor her, but she was afraid that he would wake up. In order to be on the safe side, she prepared to give him the Hehuan Powder.

Zhao Yuntong looked at the maid beside her, "Your Highness, I am innocent. I didn't intend to use Hehuan Powder. I didn't know what it was. It was Cuizhi who instigated me. I was confused for a moment! Your Highness, please spare me."

Cuizhi was originally Zhao Yuntong's personal maid, but since the fall of the Zhao family, Zhao Yuntong has lost her support and has become financially tight. Zhao Yuntong was originally a concubine's daughter and it was not her turn to enter the palace. She was replaced by a legitimate daughter and entered the palace. Cuizhi also reported this news to Madam Zhao.

Now Cuizhi has obtained a large sum of money, enough for her family to live for a lifetime, so before doing this, she had already thought of an excuse and a way to get out of this situation.

Cuizhi said, "I did not instigate Miss Zhao. She was the one who wanted to gain the crown prince's favor. It has nothing to do with me."

Zhao Yuntong was dumbfounded. "Cuizhi, why do you say that? It was you who said that I drugged the prince so that I could get pregnant successfully as long as I was favored by him. It was obviously you who instigated me to do this."

"It was obviously the young lady who wanted to do this. She even wore a white dress and went to the Plum Garden to play the piano and wait for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. How dare a servant stop her from doing whatever she wanted?" Cuizhi explained.

Zhao Yuntong's pig brain was unable to react immediately, and she quickly said, "The medicine you gave me..."

Xie Shang stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Yuntong's neck, saying coldly, "How did you know to wear a white dress to seduce me? What do you know? Tell me..."

Zhao Yuntong was so frightened that she told him everything, "On the day of the Crown Prince's birthday banquet, I saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince staring at a woman in a white dress. I thought His Royal Highness would also like me to wear a white dress, so I..."

Xie Shang also recalled that it turned out that Zhao Yuntong's dressing like this was just a misunderstanding. He let go of her neck, and his heart seemed to be possessed. At that time, Ye Susu was also wearing a plain white dress, so he looked at her a few more times. He didn't expect that these women in front of him were quite good at observing words and expressions.

He said coldly, "Where did you get the Hehuan Powder from?"

"I really don't know. Cuizhi gave it to me." Zhao Yuntong said.

Xie Shang asked again, "If they don't tell the truth, beat them until they tell the truth."

Cuizhi said quickly, "I saw that Miss Zhao got the Hehuan Powder from Concubine Zhao's palace. I also know that the Tenth Prince also used this medicine to mess around with the palace maids. Concubine Zhao would also use this medicine to relieve her loneliness when she was lonely. If Your Highness doesn't believe me, you can send someone to search Concubine Zhao's palace right away."

Cuizhi has followed Zhao Yuntong into the palace for so long, and they often go to Concubine Zhao's palace, so how could they not know the secret between Concubine Zhao and the Tenth Prince.

Zhao Yuntong felt that she had no way to defend herself after hearing this, and hurriedly asked, "Cuizhi, why did you frame me? Who bribed you? Tell me... who asked you to frame me."

"It was obviously the young lady who wanted to seduce His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I am only telling the truth and begging His Royal Highness to spare my life. I am only a servant serving the young lady."

Cuizhi even added another charge to Zhao Yuntong, saying, "The last time Prince Yu and Miss Hui'er were caught committing adultery, it was you who planned it, because you had long wanted to enter the palace and marry the prince..."

Zhao Yuntong felt dizzy and dark, "Your Highness, it's not like that. I didn't do that. I was wronged."

After hearing this, Xie Shang frowned even more tightly. He had also heard about the dirty things Xie Xin had done in private. It turned out that the Tenth Prince had become like this because of Concubine Zhao.

Even the Second Prince Xie Yu likes to use this kind of contraband item. I'm afraid he learned it from Concubine Yan. These women have made the harem a mess.

Zhao Yuntong is also like this...

At this moment, Zhao Yuntong was completely confused. She felt her body getting hot, her mouth dry, and her face flushed. "Your Highness, I... am innocent!"

Zhao Yuntong felt hot and wanted to get closer to Xie Shang. Xie Shang said angrily, "Beat her until she behaves."

Wu Xin naturally would not let her go, and ordered the guards to hold Zhao Yuntong on both sides, and then she was beaten with a stick. The pain in her body immediately overcame the desires in her heart. She was beaten with a stick, and she woke up instantly. She begged for mercy repeatedly, "Your Highness, please spare my life. I will never dare to do it again. I know I was wrong."

Wu Xin couldn't let her beg for mercy, so he beat her until she was covered in blood and passed out.

At this moment, the guards of Chengguang Palace shouted coldly into the darkness, "Who is it? Who is outside?"
