After the new widow, I became a tyrant's tender outer chamber

Chapter 158 Poisoning
Outside Chonghua Palace, the cold wind howled, making the windows creak.

Concubine Shu took Ruan Yuyi's hand, "I want to send some pastries to His Majesty, but unfortunately, His Majesty does not allow people from this Palace to enter every time. My sister is a favorite, and I think His Majesty will not stop you, so you send it for me." How are you?"

"There's no need to trouble my sister's people to make it. There are ready-made pastries here in this palace."

She skipped over Ruan Yuyi's shoulder and looked at the nanny behind her.A dark light flashed in the eyes of the nanny, and she nodded slightly.

She withdrew her gaze, and then fell back on Ruan Yuyi.

Ruan Yuyi twitched in her heart, and said, "Sister's heart, it's better to send it in person." She was not unwilling to help, but Concubine Shu insisted on sending the pastry to the holy place even under the guise of her hand, which is really weird.

She didn't dare to agree easily.

Concubine Shu knew her worries and explained, "Sister, you can rest assured, it's just a pastry. You just need to bring it to His Majesty and watch him eat it."

Saying it like this, it was as if the problem with the pastry was clearly presented in front of her, and she still didn't understand.

Her eyes flickered slightly, and she wanted to back away, but Concubine Shu grabbed her wrist, "This, this is—"

Concubine Shu made a silent gesture to her, looked around for a while, "Sister, let me go down to this palace. If your majesty doesn't want to see other people, this palace wouldn't bother you."

It was sitting behind the window, and the golden hairpin on her hair was shining brightly, a shadow was cast on her beautiful face, and her eyes were deep but determined.

Ruan Yuyi flinched and curled up her fingertips.

Concubine Shu didn't force her, just looked back at her, quietly waiting for her reply.

A thought suddenly flashed in her mind, and even she was frightened by this thought.She heard her voice weak and said, "My sister has nothing to say, my concubine will bring it for my sister."

Concubine Shu held her wrist tightly, as if to comfort her.

As Concubine Shu said, when she took the food box to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, no one stopped her, and even without a notification, they opened the door for her.

There are carved beams and painted buildings in the hall, but the antiques are few and scattered, and there is no sense of extravagance.It's not the first time for her to enter this Hall of Mental Cultivation, but it's the first time she has a clear mind and can look around carefully.

In the past, it seems that the clouds and rains are mostly here, so how can we take care of the layout here.

She personally carried the food box and walked slowly into the inner room.On the side wall, hangs a long sword high, the rope wrapped around the sword stem has been worn out, it can be seen that it is not a simple display, but a long sword that has been held in the hand for a long time and has drunk blood. sword.

Jiang Huaiyang was approving the memorial, when she saw that it was her, her eyes were filled with surprise, and she stretched out her hand, beckoning her to come over.

She lowered her eyes, suppressed her emotions, and tried several times before she smiled.She walked over slowly, the bell ringing between her wrists, the sound entered her ears.

She conveniently placed the food box on the table, hooked his neck familiarly, and sat on his lap.

"Why do you want to come here today?" He said in a gentle voice, clearly in a bright mood.

Usually, this little lady has no time to avoid him.

She originally wanted to send cakes for Concubine Shu, but suddenly she thought about what was mixed in the cakes, so she changed her mind and said, "This concubine personally made osmanthus cakes and sent them specially for His Majesty."

She paused, glanced at the memorial on the table, and asked hesitantly, "Did the concubine come at the wrong time?"

He tapped her lips lightly, "how could it be."

Ruan Yuyi seemed satisfied, and her smile deepened. She opened the food box and picked up a piece, "Your Majesty, taste it." She stared at his expression closely, not wanting to miss a single bit.The plain hand holding the pastry also trembled imperceptibly.

The sweet-scented osmanthus cake is exquisitely made, and the osmanthus flower petals used for decoration can be vaguely seen. When they are put in, a sweet fragrance comes out.

Her disguise was really clumsy.

His expression darkened, he sighed, and pushed her hand away, "I'll eat it later. Why did you come here in such thin clothes? How do the people around you wait?"

He frowned.The little lady in front of her was only wearing a skirt, and in such a cold weather, she didn't wear a cloak or anything like that.

As soon as Mu Xiang heard it, she knelt down without hesitation, "Damn it, servant girl."

Ruan Yuyi shrank her body, thinking in a trance, maybe she just didn't pay attention and landed in Chonghua Palace.

He ordered the palace men to add more coals to the fire in the hall.He rubbed her empty hand, trying to melt the coldness of her fingertips.

She still remembered the purpose when she came, so she withdrew her hand calmly, took the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in her mouth, and moved closer.The soft pastry touched his lips, he hesitated a little, but still ate it.

He darkened his eyes and deepened the kiss involuntarily.

Her ears were filled with the slight sound of water, and she felt her body getting warmer and hotter as she lied in his embrace.

Mu Xiang lowered her head and stared at the ground, her ears were red, she didn't dare to look up.

I don't know how long it took before she was able to get away with an excuse not to disturb His Majesty's business.Leaving the heat from the stove, the cold wind blows up.She didn't know whether it was from fear or from the cold, but she just felt a little limp all over.

He didn't pay attention to how she returned to Luomeixuan, anyway, she touched the couch and leaned on the lead pillow.Wipe the forehead a little, and there is already cold sweat, sticky and wet.

She took the veil and wiped it, then stopped suddenly, her fingertips visibly trembling.

Shouldn't she be tempting him to eat something like this out of her own selfish desires?She put down her hand and rubbed the veil tightly, almost as if she was going to rub it into her palm.

He is not only her unpredictable husband who needs to be careful all the time, he is also the son of heaven, the king of the world!

Now that the new emperor has been enthroned for less than half a year, even if he has the ability to hold all the power in his hands, it is inevitable that there will be a little turmoil in the world, which is not as good as it was in peacetime.If he is gone at this time, let's not mention it for the time being, what will happen to the people?What will happen to Dawu?
He has a reputation for being bloodthirsty, but he is not really a tyrant who takes pleasure in killing people.

The world changes hands frequently, and it is the people who suffer after all.

Thinking of this, her face was already pale.I hope that Concubine Shu's cake is not poisonous, otherwise she will become a sinner in the world.

She got up, ignored Mu Xiang behind her calling her, and walked out quickly.

There can be no delay.That was the only thought in her mind.She passes a maidservant.The maid was startled and stopped her, "Jieyu?"

"Report later if you have something to say." Ruan Yuyi tried to bypass her.

But the maid in the palace refused to let her go, and took a step sideways to block her way, "Jieyu, don't worry. The maidservant belongs to the Chonghua Palace. Our mother said, there are some things that I can't explain, so I need you to read this letter first."

Hearing Concubine Shu's name, she just stopped.After receiving the letter from the hand of the palace maid, my heart beat like a drum.

She glanced briefly, caught a glimpse of the rhetoric above, her heart suddenly relaxed, and finally lost her strength and fell to the ground.

Her ears were buzzing, and she vaguely heard the exclamations of the palace maid and Mu Xiang.

She clenched the letter paper tightly, trembling with fear.

——Fortunately, the sweet-scented osmanthus cake was just sweet-scented osmanthus cake.She was unable to think about why Concubine Shu would say such words at that time.
