Chapter 344 Unlucky White Moonlight 20
"I told you to eat, but you couldn't hear me?"
Concubine Ru was holding a small bowl of lotus seed soup and was about to feed it to the emperor, but when she looked at the emperor's clear and cold eyes, she felt as if she had nowhere to hide and was stunned for a moment.
Following the emperor's roar, Concubine Ru's body shook uncontrollably, and the spilled lotus seed soup burned her hands and even her uneasy heart.
Seeing that she hadn't made any move, the emperor sneered, "I always thought you were a good person, not competitive or aggressive, but today I realize you were just hiding your true self."
At this moment, Rupin felt like she was being roasted on fire, restless, anxious, and in a panic as if disaster was about to happen. She knew that the emperor must have known something, but she still didn't want to accept her fate. She calmed herself down and continued in a delicate voice, "Your Majesty, I don't know what you mean by this. I just wanted to feed you a bowl of lotus seed soup..."
"Someone, come! Give Concubine Ru the lotus seed soup!"
The emperor felt that he had already given her a chance, and since she was unwilling to turn back, he was too lazy to say anything more.
At a command, two palace maids who had been waiting outside pushed the door open and came in. One of them clamped Concubine Ru's body, and the other held lotus seed soup and tried to stuff it into her mouth.
Concubine Ru never expected that the emperor would be so merciless. She was so frightened that she lost her mind and kept twisting her body, begging for mercy while trying to avoid the lotus seed soup that was being delivered to her mouth.
"Your Majesty, I was wrong! I really know I was wrong! Please spare my life, Your Majesty! Please spare my life, Your Majesty!"
Spare my life? Hearing this word, the emperor just wanted to laugh. He wanted to spare them, but who could let him go? If the father and daughter of the Luo family had not come to the palace to tell him all this in advance, he would have died of poison by now.
His good son knew that everything he ate every day would be tested for poison in advance, so he went to great lengths to find a strange poison that could not be detected by silver needles but would kill on the spot if eaten.
If he had used this ability in the right way, he wouldn't have been suppressed by his other brothers for so many years.
The emperor waved his hand and the maid let go of the person. Concubine Ru lost control and fell to the ground in a disgraceful manner, with panic in her eyes.
"What's wrong?"
“Your Majesty… Your Majesty…”
Even at this moment, Concubine Ru did not completely give up resistance. She knew the emperor's temper too well. If he knew that she had poisoned him to death, he would probably want to pull out her tendons, peel off her skin, and drink her blood.
"I don't know. I was just afraid of the way the emperor looked just now. I feel wronged."
This time the emperor actually laughed, but it was because she was irritated. "It seems that my beloved concubine is determined to buy all the lotus seed soup. Did you hear that? Why don't you make a move?"
The maid who received the order rolled up her sleeves and prepared to start pouring the poison again. Concubine Ru sat on the ground and kept dodging, and her words began to flow without thinking. "Your Majesty, I didn't poison you. Someone must be trying to frame me."
"When did I say the lotus seed soup was poisonous?"
It's over! You've confessed!
The emperor's words were like a slap in the face, leaving Concubine Ru stunned and struggling much less. She knew that she could no longer argue, and no one would believe her even if she did.
Thinking of her son who was still waiting for news from her, Concubine Ru hardened her heart and took on all the responsibilities. As long as her son was still alive, there was still hope. As long as her son could become emperor, she would still be the emperor's biological mother even if she died.
After realizing this, Rupin simply knelt on the ground and quickly moved towards the emperor, with her hands open, trying to pull the emperor's robe. "Your Majesty, this is all my fault. I am willing to accept any punishment. Please don't implicate Prince Jin for the sake of my many years of service to you."
What a loving mother!
"That depends on whether he is willing to let me go."
Concubine Ru was very panicked. Although the mother and son had agreed to act upon receiving the signal, they were still afraid of an accident.
No, definitely not. As long as she doesn't send out the signal, the emperor will definitely not bring people to attack.
After staying in the palace for so many years, Concubine Ru is no longer the palace maid she used to be. Since the emperor is waiting here for her to fall into his trap, there must be more people watching behind her.
If the King of Jin attacked with his men at this time, it goes without saying what would have happened to the mother and son.
But no matter how anxious she was now, she couldn't pass on the message under the gaze of so many people. She could only pray that her son didn't receive the signal and would stay put, instead of seeking death.
But the opposite happened. Luo An not only told her how he drugged her, but also explained in detail how they colluded with each other.
Therefore, when the emperor saw the puppy die immediately after drinking the lotus seed soup, he was so angry that the veins on his neck burst.
"Eunuch Wang! Proceed according to the plan!"
"I obey your command!"
Looking at Eunuch Wang's leaving back, Concubine Ru's right eyelid twitched, and she always felt that something was going to happen.
"Your Majesty, I did everything. If you want to punish me, punish me alone. It has nothing to do with Prince Jin! Your Majesty~"
Rupin was crying and wanted to continue to argue, but the emperor kicked her out and said, "Hold her down."
As soon as she finished speaking, Concubine Ru was pressed to the ground in an extremely ugly posture. However, this could not stop her surging maternal love, and she kept speaking words to excuse Prince Jin.
"Your Majesty, this was all done by me alone. I have no family background, and I have caused the Prince of Jin to have no family to rely on. I was afraid that the Prince of Jin would become cannon fodder in the fight for the throne, so I did the wrong thing."
"Your Majesty, Prince Jin knows nothing. He respects you so much, how could he let me do such a thing?"
"emperor……"
Rupin's voice was so sharp and piercing that it gave the emperor a headache. "Shut her mouth."
The next second, a piece of cloth emitting a strange smell was forced into the other person's mouth. The smell made her almost roll her eyes. In the eyes of the palace maid, this look was just her own fault.
It turned out that this man had a younger sister who happened to be working in the palace, and was assigned to Concubine Ru's palace. Outsiders said that Concubine Ru was gentle and good-tempered, but she knew how evil this man was behind the scenes, otherwise her sister would not have died tragically.
To be honest, if the emperor hadn't been there, the maid would have killed her directly to avenge her sister.
But it doesn’t matter. Looking at the situation, we can tell that the other party’s good days are over. It’s not that he doesn’t want to take revenge, it’s just that the time has not come yet.
With her mouth blocked, the world was quiet, except for Concubine Ru, who was disheartened. She knew that the emperor was not going to let Prince Jin go.
Sure enough, within two minutes, sounds of fighting were heard outside the door.
"Prince Jin, what do you mean?"
Prince Jin waited for Concubine Ru's signal before he dared to lead his men into the palace. He had no suspicion that there would be other changes. As he dreamed of becoming the emperor, he was even less willing to hide anything at this time.
"Commander Xiao, if you are honest, please get out of my way. I don't want to kill too much on such a good day."
