Empress Dowager Rong spoke lightly, her tone tinged with distress, but more than anything, it seemed to be a strong warning.
Her subtext was that if this troublesome matter couldn't be resolved, Jiang Wuyou had no reason to live.
Jiang Wuyou wasn't stupid; she understood.
"This concubine is willing to serve the Empress Dowager with utmost loyalty."
"Indeed, it's springtime, and the palace should be full of blooming flowers, but the Emperor is particularly fond of a willow tree. This is truly a source of distress."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wuyou's eyes widened instantly. Judging from the Empress Dowager's words, could it be... that she wanted to get rid of that little bitch Liu Lingxi!
Very good!
What a perfect coincidence!
Jiang Wuyou was so happy that he forgot to consider the consequences of his actions.
She didn't even consider the consequences if she were found out that she had killed the emperor's beloved.
"Consort Jiang, here's something for you. You should find it useful."
When the nanny handed her a porcelain bottle, Jiang Wuyou's rationality, which had just vanished, returned smoothly, and she immediately understood what it was.
The Empress Dowager... wanted her to poison Liu Lingxi; this should be the poison.
Can--
If the truth comes out, not only will I suffer, but I might also implicate the Jiang family. The emperor's wrath can lead to the deaths of millions; do I want to become a sinner against the Jiang family?
She began to hesitate.
"This is……"
Jiang Wuyou looked at the porcelain bottle in her hand. She guessed that it wasn't anything good, but she wanted to know its effects.
"You don't need to worry about it. Just know that it's colorless and odorless, and it can silently take a person's life. No one can find out about it afterward."
Empress Dowager Rong's words carried a seductive quality, as if she had opened the devil's box, easily persuading Jiang Wuyou.
Nothing will happen; you won't be found out.
Relax, it's safe.
This time, Jiang Wuyou was truly determined to take action himself and eliminate the scourge so that everything could be set right!
"Okay, I promise you."
"Well, if you did well, we'll let bygones be bygones; if you didn't... then you should be punished."
Empress Dowager Rong spoke these two sentences lightly, as if it were just a minor punishment rather than a matter of taking someone's life.
Jiang Wuyou only belatedly realized that he had stepped into a trap, because even without today's incident, someone would have used it against him in the future.
turn out to be……
She looked up at the seemingly harmless person, her hand gripping the porcelain bottle tightly, and her heart sank.
I'm afraid I've already fallen into her trap.
From the moment she entered the palace, her life was in that person's hands.
She's really cunning.
Regardless, I must continue this performance as instructed by the Empress Dowager.
As for the ending of the play...
Who knows what will happen?
"Yes, Wuyou will definitely do it."
"Don't disappoint me."
After all, I picked you out at first sight, haha.
