Wan'er naturally wouldn't tolerate her, and said sternly, "If you know how to talk too much, don't do it again next time. If you are so disrespectful in front of the Emperor and Empress, I may not be able to protect you."
But after saying those words, she lost control of her body and coughed violently a few times.
However, Yu Yan failed to fulfill her duty as a palace maid, letting Wan'er cough until Wan'er stopped coughing. Only then did she pick up the medicine bowl and say, "This servant knows her mistake. Your Highness, please don't be angry. Take care of yourself and drink your medicine!"
As he spoke, he picked up the spoon, intending to personally feed Wan'er the medicine.
Before Wan'er could even speak, the system issued a notification: This medicine is a slow-acting poison, and it is also the last dose. Once you drink it, your body will be completely filled with toxins. Even if the imperial physician is the best, you will only live a few more years.
As soon as the system finished speaking, Wan'er understood what was going on. Just as she had thought, the original owner's body was not inherently weak, but was secretly ruined by someone, and this Yu Yan was the direct perpetrator.
So she kept her cherry-like lips tightly shut, refusing to open them. She knew it was poison; if she drank it, she would become an idiot.
Yu Yan hesitated for a moment, knowing that Wan'er usually listened to her the most. However, she didn't think much of it and assumed that the bitter medicine was causing her to resist. So she explained, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I've added honey to this medicine, so it's not bitter."
Wan'er coldly watched her lowered head, thinking: She wasn't in the hall just now, how could she know that I would vomit the medicine because of the bitterness? Besides, she came in immediately after that little palace maid left, which was undoubtedly something she had planned in advance.
However, Wan'er did not make it clear, but said, "It's too hot, let's put it aside for now!"
She was new to the area and didn't understand many things yet. If she were to speak out rashly, she was afraid it would cause a lot of trouble. So she decided not to refuse directly for the time being, but to teach Yu Yan a lesson slowly when she felt better.
Seeing that Wan'er wouldn't speak, Yu Yan grew anxious and quickly breathed out a few breaths, "Your Highness, please drink some, it's really not hot anymore..."
After saying that, without waiting for Wan'er to refuse, he scooped up a spoonful of medicine and brought it to Wan'er's lips.
This was the most crucial moment, so how could Yu Yan not be anxious? She didn't even bother to pretend anymore, her face contorted as she tried to force the medicine down her throat.
Such force-feeding infuriated Wan'er so much that she wanted to slap her on the spot. At the same time, she was even angrier at the original owner of the body; if she had just given her a little attitude normally, she wouldn't have been so unscrupulous.
But she had no strength left. Just as she was about to put the medicine into her mouth, the little palace maid who had just gone to brew the medicine returned.
"Yu Yan, what are you doing?"
Upon seeing this, the young palace maid immediately stepped forward to stop it. In the ensuing struggle, the bowl of poison was accidentally dropped, making a cracking sound, and the dark medicine spilled everywhere.
Looking at the mess on the ground, Wan'er instantly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that she had escaped this calamity.
Just as she was about to speak, she looked up and saw Yu Yan raise her hand high and slap the little palace maid hard across the face. "Qi Lan, you little bitch, what are you up to, stopping the Empress from drinking her medicine?" Her good plan had been interrupted by a palace maid, how could she not be angry? She wished she could tear the palace maid to pieces.
It turned out that the young palace maid was named Qi Lan. Wan'er was very grateful and kept the name firmly in her heart. If it weren't for her, the mission would probably have ended before it even began.
Qi Lan was quite afraid of Yu Yan, but she still mustered up her courage and said, "But I clearly saw you... forcing Your Highness to drink it."
"How dare you!" Yu Yan, embarrassed and angry at being exposed, grabbed Qi Lan's hair. "What do you know? I'm doing this for Your Highness's own good. If Your Highness refuses to take the medicine, her health will collapse sooner or later."
Wan'er was so angry that she gritted her teeth. If she weren't so weak, Yu Yan would have been beaten to the ground and begged for mercy long ago.
"Stop! Stop it right now!" Seeing Qi Lan being bullied and not daring to fight back, Wan'er shouted with all her might.
Yu Yan was used to being arrogant and domineering, and she didn't take Wan'er seriously at all. She kicked Qi Lan in the chest and sneered, "You lowly servant, you knocked over the Empress's medicine, preventing her from drinking it in time. You deserve to die."
With that, she grabbed Qi Lan's collar, "I'm going to beat you to death today!"
Seeing Qi Lan being beaten again, Wan'er was extremely anxious, hating this body as much as she could at that moment.
Fortunately, the system spoke through thought: "Master, would you like to temporarily grant me the ability to exert strength?"
"Why didn't you say this function was available sooner?" Wan'er frowned. If the system had just provided this function, she wouldn't have felt so frustrated, and Qi Lan wouldn't have had to suffer like this.
The system chuckled, "You don't understand. If a person is about to step into the gates of hell and is then rescued, she will be loyal to you for life."
The "she" in this context refers to Qi Lan.
There were only three people in the hall. Seeing Qi Lan huddled in the corner, letting Yu Yan beat her, Wan'er instantly lost her patience. "Stop talking, hurry up and give me the strength!"
"Okay," the system cheerfully replied, "Still the same price of one thousand per minute."
Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. At this moment, Wan'er didn't care about how much money she would be penalized; she was only focused on saving Qi Lan.
Instantly, her body was filled with strength. With just one last kick, Qi Lan was about to die, but she managed to pull Yu Yan back in time.
"How dare you! Am I the master, or are you the master?" Wan'er glared angrily at Yu Yan.
Yu Yan, enraged, didn't care who was pulling her and shoved Wan'er away, causing Wan'er to fall heavily to the ground.
Just as she was about to beat Qi Lan up again, she suddenly came to her senses and looked at Wan'er with an incredulous expression, "You... why did you get up?"
