Chapter 592 This poison was originally intended to be used against you and the Emperor.

"As expected..." Xiao Tang murmured softly, "I knew this would be the result."

When I first suspected Wanqing, I was already about 50% sure.

Now, after hearing Yan Jiu's report, she finally understood that there was no room for negotiation in this matter, and Wan Qing was the biggest spy.

She smiled slightly: "It's alright. Tonight, continue to send people to follow her and see if she has taken any more medicine from that man in black."

"If there is any problem, report it to me immediately."

next door.

After taking the medicine, Zhao Yunmiao looked at Wanqing and asked, "Her Majesty the Empress and the Emperor...have they made up today?"

Wanqing pouted and said, "Young Master, all you care about is the Empress. Even if the Empress and the Emperor quarrel, they are still husband and wife. Why do you only think about these things?"

Zhao Yunmiao knew this in his heart, but when a maid pointed it out to him, he immediately became furious.

"presumptuous!"

"Since you're a maid, what, are you questioning me?"

Wanqing was terrified and knelt down to beg for mercy.

Actually, it was the first time she had been yelled at by the young master. Feeling the change in the young master's anger, Wanqing was very scared.

She stared blankly at Zhao Yunmiao, her eyes visibly red as they flickered.

Zhao Yunmiao suddenly realized that she might have yelled inappropriately, after all, Wanqing hadn't meant it.

He coughed lightly and said, "Get up. I didn't mean to."

Wanqing lowered her head and sobbed softly, feeling extremely aggrieved.

She clutched her sleeve, "Young Master is right to reprimand me; it was this servant who did not know the rules."

"Fine. You can leave now."

Wanqing stepped out of the house, looked at the sunlight outside, and clenched her fist tightly into her hand, which was hanging in her sleeve.

She really didn't expect the young master to scold her. She felt a sense of inexplicable grievance, and her hatred for the empress next door grew even stronger.

It was past midnight.

Wanqing secretly slipped out of the palace.

When she saw the man in black again, she quickly reached out and took what he offered her.

The man in black said, "Get rid of that empress as soon as possible. This time, the poison is a Gu poison, not an ordinary poison. You have to be careful."

Wanqing gritted her teeth: "Alright, don't worry, I will definitely not let His Majesty down. After dealing with the Empress, I will take the young master back to apologize to His Majesty."

The man in black nodded. "This is your chance to atone for your sins, and also your chance to redeem your young master."

After saying this, the man in black left.

Wanqing clutched the medicine packet, her heart trembling.

She actually didn't harm anyone much.

Her current feelings of hatred have made it impossible for her to remain the timid and cowardly person she once was.

She turned around, about to return to the palace, when suddenly everything went black and she was knocked unconscious.

...

When Wanqing woke up, the blindfold had been removed from her eyes.

What appeared before me was a courtyard full of people.

The Emperor and Empress were both present, as was Zhao Yunmiao.

Zhao Yunmiao looked at her, her face full of disappointment.

Faced with the young master's gaze, Wanqing was completely taken aback, "Young master..."

She was about to climb toward Zhao Yunmiao when the chain pulled her back.

Looking at the scene before him, Xiao Tang clicked his tongue and said, "Wan Qing, what kind of medicine did you bring? Take it out and explain it clearly right here."

Wan Qing was startled and looked at Xiao Tang in surprise.

Of course, they dared not look directly at the emperor's face.

In the darkness, under the dim yellow light, the emperor looked like a god of death.

She knew what the consequences would be if she told the truth!

so!

Wan Qing immediately shook her head, "There's no medicine, absolutely no medicine."

"Stop pretending! I heard you negotiating with the men in black outside the palace, and you even tried to harm our Empress. How vicious!" Ruyi directly pointed out the woman's wickedness.

"I didn't! I would never..."

"Wanqing, I heard everything. You have truly disappointed me. Did you secretly negotiate with Emperor Dongyuan without my knowledge?"

Wan Qing was shocked. Even if she wanted to cry, she could only hold it in.

"Young Master, no, I had my reasons for doing this. Please let me explain."

I don't want to hear your explanation!

"You'd better explain yourself. I'm still wondering whether you should be spared." Xiao Tang suddenly spoke up.

She genuinely felt that Wan Qing was incredibly bold.

They want her dead on her turf.

Wan Qing looked at Xiao Tang in fear, but only glanced at him before trying to crawl towards Zhao Yunmiao.

No matter how many times she climbed, the chains stopped her; she couldn't resist them at all.

"Young Master, I'm doing this for your own good. If you do this, you'll harm the entire Zhao family."

"The Emperor has ordered that if you fail to take Xiao Tang's life, the entire Zhao family will be slaughtered."

"But I know you have extraordinary feelings for the Empress, so I have no choice but to do this for you..."

Xiao Tang clicked his tongue.

Emperor Jingling could no longer bear it and ordered the eunuch beside him, "Slap him."

The eunuch took the order and immediately slapped Wanqing several times across the face.

These dozens of slaps clearly turned Wanqing's face into a pig's head.

Xiao Tang watched indifferently, and finally gently pulled Di Jingling and said, "The fan is useless. This poison is still here."

Wanqing turned pale with fright, "No, Your Majesty, spare me..."

"Since Your Majesty respects you so much, I'll give you two choices: either you swallow the poison yourself, or you go back and give the poison to your Emperor."

Huangfu Cangyun is really out of his mind.

As the Emperor of Dongyuan, why did he have to take her life?
