Transmigrating into a Demon Spirit to Blow up the Entire World-Chapter 132.3
The Empress Dowager expression became serious: “What poison? Speak clearly!”
Madam Zheng really didn’t fail to live up to Yuwen Yin’s expectation, and as he expected, she weaved a lie in order to successfully bring down Qi Wangfei: “This concubine suddenly wanted to drink lotus seed congee last night, and had ordered the maid to go to the kitchen to bring a bowl of ready-made food. But failed to drink it because of pregnancy reactions, so it was then fed to the little parrot raised inside the house. But who knew, that the parrot would unexpectedly die in the middle of the night, for fear of inviting misfortune, a maid was ordered to throw it out early in the morning……”
All eyes were focused on madam Zheng, only Yuwen Yin had his head down, and didn’t pay attention to her excellent songs and performance.
What could be worth seeing? Not a single person in this mansion was innocent. All of this was nothing but a dog-eat-dog*. Yuwen Yin couldn’t help but think of his little quilt again. Thinking that the little guy should still be sleeping in bed, or had already hanged itself outside to bask under the sun. Recalling it’s adorable appearance as it anxiously gestured to him with it’s two quilt corners, couldn’t help but make his heart overflow with warmth.
*unjustifiable disputes
His heart had already blackened, and the only piece of pure land in his heart was occupied by the little quilt.
Madam Zheng’s performance finally came to an end over there. Her deathly pale complexion added on to those rippling teardrops, enabled her to vividly and realistically portray an extremely frightened and pitifully innocent image, “……thinking about it now, made this concubine really frightened! Beseeching the Empress Dowager and Wangye to severely punish the culprit, and stand in behalf of Ershizi and the still unborn child of this concubine!”
She obviously took joy in calamity and delight in disaster in watching the play on the sidelines like other concubines before, and now, she remembered to help Yuewen Yin cry out in grievance together. Moreover, after having mentioned this point, how could anyone still fail to understand this? The poisoner must have dispensed the two drugs by mistake. Fortunately, due to this unexpected turn of events, both sons* were safe and sound.
*Yuwen Yin and the unborn child
This matter turned back to Guan Qing and Shun Sheng again. The Empress Dowager looked at them with a gaze that was no different from looking at dead people, making them shudder in great fright: “Really undisciplined and immoral! To actually dare and poison the master. Who gave you such courage!”
Although the two of them had really used their position to oppress others, but they had never thought of committing such a serious crime like poisoning. Shun Sheng inwardly realized that he was bound to die whether he admitted it or not. So, he only hope that his family would be spared by honestly confessing, in addition to desperately knocking his head on the floor: “It’s the Wangfei Niang niang. Niang niang ordered the servants to deliver the food box, and also told the servant to make the master finish eating everything. The servants have no idea of the whole story* at all!”
*all the facts
Shun Sheng had already knocked his head till blood flowed, and practically shouted himself hoarse: “The servant is innocent, all deed were done under force, and were all dependent to the instructions of Wangfei Niang niang. Beseeching the Empress Dowager for mercy, and spare the life of this servant’s family!!”
The spearhead directly pointed to Qi Wangfei in an instant. Qi Wanfei finally showed a very discernible panicked expression. Her hands hidden inside her sleeves shook violently. Madam Zheng also acted upon seeing the opportunity, and actually brought up the evidences of the cause of her miscarriage five years ago.
Everyone present here today knows that it was all over for Qi Wangfei.
Although she has a powerful family, gave birth to Yuwen Zhengyang a son, and no one had been poisoned at the moment, but the Empress Dowager was already completely disgusted of her, leading to this wife’s path to end. Qi Wangfei naturally refused to accept this, and still tried to desperately defend herself, but was rebuked by the Empress Dowager before she could even finish her words.
“Shut up!” The Empress Dowager pointed at her with a stern expression and harshly said: “Jiang Yu, Aijia originally believed that since you were born in an influential family, that even if you didn’t like the numerous concubine-born children in the family, you would still be able to magnanimously manage the household as the main wife. But only now, did Aijia learn that she had actually been deceived for such a long time! You’re in charge of the entire back residence, so, who else could pass the poison over you? This matter had already been completely laid out in front of Aijia, yet you still dare to argue? Aijia will never be this foolish! You really are-, really are……”
The issue of sons has always been the top priority of all families, not to mention the currently declining royal family. The more the Empress Dowager spoke, the more irritated she became, that she almost fainted. Xu momo hurriedly tried to calm her down her. It was at this moment when Yuwen Yin stepped forward to conscientiously proffer the new cup of tea he held, as he quietly comforted: “Imperial grandmother, the current wellness of grandson, is all thanks to your great blessings. You mustn’t get angry, have a sip of tea.”
The Empress Dowager had now been mentally and physically drained by this major matter. But such a simple cup of tea and brief words from Yuwen Yin at this time, was just the perfect thing to sooth her heart. Yuwen Yin inadvertently raised his wrist when passing the tea, which happened to reveal a small part of his arm. Seeing the frostbite and scars on him made the Empress Dowager sigh again. Thinking of Yuwen Yin’s biological mother, only deepened her feelings of guilt, that she couldn’t help but pat his hand and say: “You are a good child, you also mustn’t hate your father. He has simply been momentarily blinded……”
“Imperial grandmother is overstressing,” Having heard of this, Yuwen Yin hurriedly raised his head and said: “As the saying goes, of all virtues, filial piety is most important. So, how could this grandson possibly hate his own father?”
His mouth said so, but Yuwen Yin’s heart had completely been chilled.
How could there be no hatred? They all spoke of requiting evil with good, then how should this virtue be repaid? If he bore no hate, then how can he be worthy of his deceased mother, the undetermined life-and-death of his grandfather on the Southern region, and this thirteen years of difficult and miserable life filled with humiliation he suffered?
— Moreover, all of this was just the beginning.
