Chapter 322: Jinzhong poisons; Ruyi goes along with it
Chunchan looked at Jinzhong meaningfully and walked out.
Jinzhong sat on the bed and held Wei Yanwan's hand: "Yanwan, we can't wait any longer."
"But... he's the emperor. I'm scared."
"If you're afraid, then I'll come and I'll have the chance to poison his tea."
Jinzhong had already planned it all. In fact, he had put a chronic poison in the tea a few days ago. Although it was not fatal, it would not make things any easier for him.
Doctor Jiang also discovered this situation when he took Ping An's pulse.
However, he did not tell the emperor, but said that he gave it to Ruyi.
Ruyi hinted to him not to tell anyone, as she had her own ideas about the matter, and by ideas she meant to let it go.
In Zhongcui Palace, after seeing Concubine Xin, Hongli asked Li Yu, "Have you noticed anything wrong with Jinzhong recently?"
Li Yu's heart skipped a beat, but he still replied expressionlessly, "No, he's quite normal."
Hongli: "Keep an eye on him. If you find anything unusual about him, tell me immediately."
Li Yu leaned forward and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Hongli threw the note in his hand away. Maybe it was a frame-up by some bored person.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Jinzhong was a eunuch, how could he have an affair with Concubine Ling?
Li Yu knew that the emperor was suspicious of Jinzhong and Lingpin. He had warned this kid before, so why was he still so careless? It seemed that he had to teach him a lesson.
The next day, Jinzhong returned to the Yangxin Palace to take up duty.
Li Yu stopped him and said, "How many times have I told you to stay away from the masters in the harem? The emperor was already suspicious yesterday. Look, whose notes are these? They're trying to frame you and Concubine Ling."
Jinzhong took the note and looked at it: "What is this...?"
"This was written with my left hand, reminding you to be careful. But you were still caught. It's a shame the Emperor didn't believe it. If he had, both of you would have been dead."
Jinzhong held the note tightly, his brow furrowed as he asked, "Master, do you know who wrote this?"
Li Yu shook his head: "This matter must be thoroughly investigated, otherwise both you and Lingpin will be in trouble."
Jinzhong nodded: "Then what should I do? Master, please teach me."
"I'm giving you this for your own good. How can I just sit there and do nothing? Ask Concubine Ling to go talk to the Empress about this matter."
"But what if the Queen doesn't help?"
"She knows that you poisoned the emperor." Li Yu said in a low voice.
Jinzhong's heart nearly jumped out of his throat: "You all know?"
"Nonsense, how smart do you think you are? We are just keeping it a secret for you."
"Go find the Queen and see what she says."
When Wei Yanwan and Jinzhong arrived, Ruyi was waiting.
"Here you go, sit down."
Wei Yanwan bowed before sitting down.
Jinzhong stood aside, leaning forward, not daring to make a sound.
Ruyi: "I told you that you need to talk to us first if you have anything to say."
Wei Yanwan: "Your Majesty, I agreed to this matter, don't blame him."
"I know you're protecting him, but Yan Wan is plotting to murder the emperor, and her entire clan will be executed."
Wei Yanwan: "I know, but didn't you, Queen, also help me hide it?"
Ruyi raised the corner of her lips and sneered, "You are too smart. You can see through all my thoughts. It really makes me feel ashamed."
Jinzhong knelt down and said, "Empress, this was all my idea. I will bear all the consequences, whether it's killing or cutting me up."
