Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 335: Pulling to Death

Feiyu Palace.

Huang Ye turned his gaze back to the table where he was sitting.

She wanted to see how Concubine Lin would behave.

"Today is Sister Du's big day, we sisters should drink a bowl of wine together to celebrate."

Huang Ye picked up the wine bowl. She had the highest status among the people at the table, so no one should object to her proposal.

Besides, what they drank was sweet fruit wine.

Several people at the table picked up the wine bowls that had been poured in front of them. Huang Ye discovered that even Gao Meiren picked up the bowl reluctantly.

However, Concubine Lin remained unmoved and did not touch the wine bowl in front of her.

"Sister, don't you think this is a very happy event? Shouldn't we sisters celebrate it?"

Huang Ye asked naively one question after another.

Concubine Lin was secretly resentful in her heart, but her face was full of apology.

"As you know, there is still some poison in my sister's body. The imperial physician has told me not to drink alcohol. I am really sorry for you sisters."

She spoke sincerely and even stood up and bowed to everyone present.

Except for Huang Ye, the others hurriedly stood up to return the greeting, even Xu Rou, who always thought she was noble, was no exception.

That’s right, Xu Rou was too lazy to sit at the same table with the other talented people, so she squeezed into their table.

"That's a shame to waste such a delicious wine."

Huang Ye picked up the wine bowl in front of him with a smile and drank it all.

"This wine tastes really good. Jieyu is so unlucky."

Looking at Huang Ye who drank the bowl of wine in one breath, the fleeting smugness in Lin Jieyu's eyes was still seen by the sharp-eyed Huang Ye.

The atmosphere of the lunch banquet was quite good. Because the emperor was there, the concubines talked a lot more.

There were those who were brave enough to go over and toast the emperor, and the emperor drank out of respect.

Taking advantage of the excitement, Hongdou quietly winked at Eunuch Yu.

Eunuch Yu ordered Xiao Yinzi, who was beside him, to take good care of the emperor, and found an excuse to follow Hong Dou to the side hall.

Hongdou first went to ask the nanny hiding behind the flower stand, and when she knew that no one was coming, she took Eunuch Yu into the room.

"This old Hu entered the palace at about the same time as me, and he also served in the Eastern Palace before."

Eunuch Yu naturally knew this person and was very familiar with him.

"I will report this matter to the Emperor. Someone will come and take him away soon. You don't have to worry about it."

Eunuch Yu really thinks that these women in the harem are not smart.

Isn't it nice to have nothing to do every day, eating, drinking and having fun? Why do you have to be so restless?

Dare to plan such a thing, even if no one will die, what if...

If someone really died and the blame was traced to someone, it would be a disaster for the entire family. How dare they do that?

After the meal, the emperor went back to the Yangxin Palace, and the concubines also said goodbye one after another.

If nothing unexpected happens, the emperor will stay in Feiyu Palace tonight.

After everyone had left, Huang Ye handed the eldest princess, who was nodding sleepily in her arms, to Lan Ruo, and asked her to carry the princess downstairs to take a nap.

"Sister Du, this matter...is most likely the work of Concubine Lin."

Huang Ye didn't beat around the bush and told him everything she had observed about Concubine Lin's expression.

"I noticed that too."

Concubine Du said bitterly.

Just now she was also observing Concubine Lin carefully.

Seeing that these people were safe and sound after eating and drinking, Concubine Lin was confused and even frightened.

"Now that she's dead and there's no evidence, there's nothing we can do to her."

Huang Ye also felt it was a pity. Why didn’t she think that there was poison in the man’s mouth?

She still has less experience.

"But... I can't swallow this."

Concubine Du felt very aggrieved. She was bullied by others and she felt terrible because she couldn't fight back.

"It's not that we can't take revenge. Concubine Lin will definitely think that no one knows what she did. Let's give her a warning to prevent her from being complacent."

Huang Ye has also thought about this matter. Anyone who dares to touch her... hehe.

Lin Jieyu, just wait for the next punishment.

Qingyue Palace.

When Concubine Lin returned to Qingyue Palace, the first thing she did was to call Aunt Yan to her side, and the two of them went to her bedroom to talk.

"Aunt Yan, what's going on with that eunuch Hu? Didn't we agree on this beforehand? Why was there no movement at noon?"

Aunt Yan also found it strange. Eunuch Hu had promised everything, so it was impossible that there would be no movement at noon.

"I think something bad might have happened. Your Majesty, have you noticed that from the time we had lunch until we left, we didn't see any trace of Eunuch Hu."

Aunt Yan said worriedly.

Lin Jieyu felt her hair stand on end instantly.

"Aunt, could it be that Eunuch Hu was captured by the Ministry of Punishment? If he betrays us..."

No matter how smart Concubine Lin was, she was scared at this moment.

"No, if someone from the Ministry of Punishment came, there would be a commotion right there and then. It wouldn't be silent and without any incident."

Aunt Yan comforted her own mother. In fact, she was also very scared. It was she who went to find Eunuch Hu in the first place.

"Then... we can only wait for news. Right now, we don't even know whether Eunuch Hu is dead or alive."

Concubine Lin had no choice but to sit down dejectedly. She just wanted to make life difficult for that bitch Concubine Du and teach her a lesson.

But she did have another thought at the time, which was what would happen if the emperor got angry.

Maybe... the eldest princess will be given to her to raise?

Until the evening, Concubine Lin was in a state of panic.

She secretly sent someone out to inquire, and the report back was that everyone who had lunch in Feiyu Hall was safe and sound.

Only then did she feel relieved. Perhaps Eunuch Hu was too scared to give her the medicine.

Well, this matter was planned hastily. Next time, she will definitely not be so impulsive.

When the person who went to the imperial kitchen to get the food came back, Concubine Lin was surprised to realize that it was already time for dinner.

Because she was preoccupied with lunch, she didn't eat much, and now she was really hungry.

The food delivered by the imperial kitchen tonight was delicious, especially the black chicken soup, which was so fresh and flavorful that she had never tasted it before.

Concubine Lin drank a whole bowl of soup and still felt a little unsatisfied, but her stomach was full, so she had to put down her chopsticks.

"Aunt, this black chicken soup is good, drink it."

Concubine Lin is very close to Aunt Yan. Like the Queen and Lanruo, Concubine Lin was also raised by Aunt Yan.

Aunt Yan has a child outside the palace, and Concubine Lin promised her that when she reaches the age, she will be allowed to leave the palace to reunite with her family.

Aunt Yan didn't have a good lunch either. Seeing that the Empress was drinking so happily, she sat down without hesitation and drank up the remaining black chicken soup.

night.

Not long after Concubine Lin fell asleep, she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen. She endured the pain and asked the palace maid on duty to help her to the toilet. Once she sat on the toilet, she could not get up.

Aunt Yan in the other room was in a similar situation, having also been sitting on the toilet and defecating all night.

By the time they stopped having diarrhea in the morning, they were both almost half dead.

What made the palace servants in Qingyue Palace who knew about this matter feel strange was that even though the empress was in dire straits, no one was sent to call the imperial physician.
