Chapter 810 Antidote for Guining Pill
Jiang Fenghua stared at the pill in her hand. "I think I've seen this before. Wasn't it kept in a small white porcelain bottle?"
Wuxin said, "Yes, this servant heard that this is the antidote for the Rejuvenation Pill. However, His Majesty also said that now that the medicine has a problem, the antidote may also have a problem. Does Your Majesty really want to take it?"
Wu Xin was still worried that the medicine might actually cause problems.
Jiang Fenghua recalled the medicine bottle she saw in the Imperial Study that day. It turned out that it contained the antidote for Guining Pill. Xie Shang had long had a medicine that could restore her memory, but he had been hiding it from her.
Ao Xue and Lin Yu didn't want her to remember what secrets she was hiding.
Jiang Fenghua's desire to regain her memories grew stronger and stronger.
She glanced at Wuxin and said, "Whether there's a problem or not, you and I know better than anyone else."
Wu Xin was stunned. Yes, the Empress's body is fine. She just took some medicine that caused her to feel weak and tired.
"No one knew when you took the medicine, right? There are secret guards watching the Imperial Study at all times, so be careful."
Wuxin added, “Your Majesty, please rest assured! Usually, only Black Bee is allowed to enter and leave the Imperial Study. Now he has left the palace to prepare for Night Shadow's funeral. No one saw him. This servant took a similar pill and substituted it. His Majesty will not find out.”
Jiang Fenghua said, "Gongsun Ling will definitely find out. We'll think of another way then."
Wu Xin said, "If His Majesty finds out, this servant is willing to accept any punishment. As long as it is for the good of Your Highness, even death is something this servant would be willing to accept."
Jiang Fenghua didn't want to implicate Wuxin. Even if he was willing to die for her, she didn't want any more innocent people to lose their lives for her. She said lightly, "Life is so precious. What's the big deal about dying? We should all live well. Once you die, you have nothing left."
Wu Xin smiled. "Yes, we will all live."
Jiang Fenghua added, "No matter what happens later, you must remain calm and not panic. I don't know if the antidote can counteract the effects of the Guining Pill and restore my memory."
Wu Xin became nervous. "Your Majesty, would you like to reconsider?"
"When Lin Yu gave me the Gui Ning Pill to make me lose my memory, I didn't think twice. I want to see what secrets they have that they want me to forget."
Jiang Fenghua swallowed the medicine without hesitation. A moment later, she suddenly fainted and collapsed onto the table.
Wu Xin was terrified. "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
Jiang Fenghua led Wuxin to a side hall, where there was a soft couch. Wuxin helped her onto the couch and stood guard beside her.
He only prayed that the Empress would be safe and sound.
After Jiang Fenghua fainted, she entered a dream. She saw her past life again. She returned to Chenxi Palace and saw her dying face. She was ugly, and the scar on her cheek looked like a thick and long worm twisting and crawling on half of her face. She could feel her despair and unwillingness when she was about to die. It turned out that she had not found peace until her death.
Her body remained in the Palace of Dawn for several days, and her dreams lingered there for just as long. Looking at her afterlife, she felt nothing but sorrow and helplessness.
She wanted to help her, but it was all in vain. She clenched her fists. At this time, there was no one to collect the body. It wasn't until a nanny found out that she reported it to Empress Su.
Su Tingwan disdainfully ordered someone to wrap her body in a straw mat and send it to the mass grave outside the palace.
When Consort Xian passed away, according to ancestral rules, she should also be buried in the imperial mausoleum, since she gave birth to an imperial heir and thus had rendered meritorious service.
She spent half her life in the imperial harem, never making a mistake, yet she met such a tragic end.
However, her body was quietly abandoned, and Empress Su simply found another body to complete the funeral ceremony.
They say that when a person dies, it's like a lamp going out. Her life ended at the age of thirty-five, which can be considered a kind of relief!
Anyway, she couldn't feel pain after she died. Now, seeing the anger in her chest, even though Su Tingwan's body had been dumped in the wilderness, she still felt it was too easy for Su Tingwan, since she had lived a very happy life in her previous life.
She followed the eunuch out of the palace, only to see him discard her body and toss it into a ravine like dog excrement.
She smiled bitterly: "Not only did I die a miserable death, but after death I was left to rot in the wilderness, eaten away by insects and ants in the mountains until only a skeleton remained. I don't know how long it will take for the skeleton to turn into soil."
She had read in a book that in cases like this, where a body is left to rot in the wilderness, the bones won't decay and turn into soil even after more than ten years. Could it be that she couldn't rest in peace even in death? Su Tingwan was indeed ruthless.
At that moment, she saw an ugly soul float above the mass grave, and only after she recognized it did she realize that it was her disfigured self.
She seemed to be weeping silently, lamenting the sorrows of her life and the fact that she could not find peace even in death.
Jiang Fenghua wanted to go up to her to comfort her and tell her that their revenge had been taken, so that she could rest assured.
But no matter what she tried, she couldn't tell her that she had fallen asleep after taking the antidote Wuxin gave her, and that she had just had a dream about what happened after she died in her previous life.
She believed that these things had actually happened, and that the sadness she imagined in her dreams was all in her mind.
As expected, anything can happen in dreams.
Suddenly, a candlelight shone in the dark and foul-smelling mass grave, and to her surprise, she saw a familiar figure again.
Xiao Yu was completely covered by a black cloak, and the faint candlelight in his hand shone on his profile.
Jiang Fenghua was startled: "Xiao Yu, how could it be him?"
Xiao Yu found her body on the mat. He brought clean clothes, bowed to her, and then put the clean clothes on top of her original clothes.
Because she was so thin, even wearing two sets of clothes didn't make her look bulky. He even tidied her clothes before carrying her body onto the cart.
She wondered to herself, did Xiao Yu from her past life also know her? He even knew that her body had been sent to a mass grave.
Xiao Yu was also his father's student in his previous life. His father had many outstanding students, but he disliked forming cliques and even rejected the good intentions of many students who wanted to help the Jiang family. His father was used to a leisurely life and naturally did not want to get involved in the mess of power struggles.
Xiao Yu was one of her father's many students, but the daughters of the Jiang family were always raised in seclusion and had no opportunity to come into contact with men outside. The Jiang family had very strict family rules, so after she was reborn, she did not live according to her father's requirements.
Xiao Yu led her to a cemetery, and what shocked Jiang Fenghua was that the owner of this cemetery was surnamed Jiang.
Her eyes instantly welled up with tears. She thought that by staying away from her family, others would have no chance to harm them. Later, although she learned from Su Tingwan that her father had "died of illness" and her mother had also died, even her eldest brother and younger brother, her second sister and brother-in-law and their children had not escaped the tragedy.
When she saw their graves with her own eyes, she still shed tears.
