Having already known the plot in advance, Xiao Tang's gaze darkened.
In the original story, it was written that today was the day to serve tea to the Empress Dowager. The original owner, who had been rescued with great difficulty, entered the palace alone to serve tea, but the tea in Xiao Rourou's hand was poisoned, and she framed the original owner.
The original owner of the body was completely unable to defend herself under the circumstances, while the female lead insisted that it was her. She also saved the Empress Dowager when she was poisoned, and thus won the Empress Dowager's favor.
Afterwards, the Empress Dowager rewarded the female protagonist handsomely and had the original owner of the body dragged out and given fifty lashes.
This poisoned tea was deliberately arranged by the female lead, Xiao Rourou, in order to please the male lead, the Seventh Prince.
The seventh prince, Di Yanhen, wanted to take advantage of the situation to get rid of the regent through the foolish original owner of the body.
As soon as this poisoned tea slander comes out, he will turn around and send medicine and care to the original owner, while also encouraging the original owner to assassinate the regent.
Ultimately, this is a novel that is extremely morally reprehensible, especially the male and female protagonists.
[The author also said that the male and female protagonists in the book are not good people.]
[Tsk, it's definitely not a good thing.]
Just as the Empress Dowager was taking the teacup with satisfaction, gently stroking the rim with the cup, and slowly bringing it to her lips—
Di Jingling suddenly spoke up: "Mother Empress."
The Empress Dowager, who was about to drink her tea, looked at Emperor Jingling with a puzzled expression.
Emperor Jingling and the current emperor are brothers, but there is a full eighteen-year age gap between them. Their biological mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to Emperor Jingling, and the two brothers were raised in her palace and recognized her as their mother.
But ultimately, she didn't like this regent.
"What does Jing Ling have to say?"
"Mother, this tea doesn't look well brewed. Perhaps we should change it," the man said coldly, his calm and indifferent reminder causing the expressions of those around him to change.
Xiao Tang's eyes widened in surprise.
[Big villain, can't we play by the rules?]
[I was even thinking of waiting for the Empress Dowager to drink the poisoned tea so I could slap the female lead in the face, ahhh, the satisfying feeling of slapping her face... gone.]
That scoundrel only knows how to ruin my plans!
She wants to follow the protagonist's path, leaving the protagonist with nowhere to go.
hateful!
Xiao Tang cursed inwardly, but when her gaze swept over Di Jingling, she noticed that the corners of this bastard's mouth were actually curved into a slight smile, which was incredibly charming.
[Laughing so slutty, who are you trying to impress? The female lead isn't yours anyway.]
The smile on the man's face immediately vanished.
He even nearly pinched Xiao Tang when he glanced at her face.
The Empress Dowager, standing not far away, looked on with suspicion, asking, "Was this tea not brewed well?"
"Hmm, someone come and get the Empress Dowager a new cup."
"Royal Uncle." Xiao Rourou interrupted Di Jingling softly, blinking her charming eyes as if she were radiating electricity.
"This tea is brewed quite well; after all... there's nothing cloudy about it. Uncle, did you interrupt me to offer the tea on purpose?"
She said it half-jokingly, but only she knew how nervous she was inside.
Xiao Tang couldn't help but roll her eyes at her affected and pretentious manner.
[This female lead, she's always wanting more than she has. She's already married to the Seventh Prince, yet she still shamelessly flaunts her damn body odor to the Regent in front of everyone. Ugh—]
Di Jingling frowned, then turned to look at the little eunuch and waved his hand.
The young eunuch understood and immediately went to get a new cup of tea.
Xiao Rourou took the teacup without panicking, and the smile on her face remained unchanged.
She embodies gentleness and elegance perfectly.
The Empress Dowager's shrewd eyes swept over the two couples, and she happily accepted Xiao Rourou's teacup and drank it all in one gulp.
When Xiao Tang was replaced this time, the system issued another warning beep.
She held the teacup and handed it to the Empress Dowager, raising her eyebrows slightly in surprise.
This time it's not poison.
The notification sounded that the Empress Dowager was seriously ill.
If it's poison, the system will beep and administer an electric shock as punishment; if it's illness, it will beep.
The first thing you notice is the deep shadows under the Empress Dowager's eyelids, and the unnatural darkening of her cheeks.
His face looked utterly unlucky.
As a psychic healer, she can not only diagnose illnesses by taking pulses, but also combine psychic techniques to determine a patient's lifespan and whether treatment is worthwhile.
Right now, she realized that the Empress Dowager before her was nearing the end of her life!
