Chapter 100: Past Life
When Jiang Shuyi returned to Zhaoyang Palace, she curled up on her bed, lowered the curtains, and didn't want to see anyone.
Scenes from her past life appeared before her eyes.
Unlike the insignificant people who framed Concubine Jin and Guiren Qian, Concubine Xue was the biological mother of the prince. In her previous life, Jiang Shuyi thought she knew Pei Yan's character very well. He was soft-hearted and kind, and would never easily depose or sentence to death the biological mother of his own son.
It is even more impossible to harm her directly, as Concubine Xue is very shrewd and can protect herself well.
Miao Wangshu then suggested using a self-torture tactic.
Concubine Rou's father worked in the Ministry of Justice. He had seen a kind of medicine when he was solving a case. After taking it, people could vomit blood and become unconscious, just like being poisoned, but it did not cause much harm to the body. Miao Wangshu thought that Jiang Shuyi could use this medicine, and together with his confidant Doctor Kang, they pretended to be poisoned and framed Concubine Xue.
Jiang Shuyi was eager to get rid of Concubine Shu, so she agreed. Everything was arranged by Miao Wangshu and the others. She was only responsible for drinking the medicine and then going to the Qianqing Palace, where she vomited blood and fainted in front of Pei Yan.
Wang Shun was involved in delivering the fake poison from outside the palace.
When Jiang Shuyi drank the medicine and went to the Ganqing Palace, Pei Yan was asking Wang Yuanpan to check her pulse.
Seeing her, Pei Yan asked Wang Yuan to give her the position and also invite her at the same time.
Jiang Shuyi had just taken the medicine, how dare she let the imperial physician feel her pulse! She was so scared that she refused again and again, lying that she had asked for it yesterday, but Pei Yan refused to give in, saying what if she got sick today?
Jiang Shuyi had no choice but to sit in his arms in front of so many palace maids and imperial doctors, hugging him and saying, "I miss your majesty. Can you please let them go? I miss your majesty so much..."
Pei Yan looked at her meaningfully for a long time, then ordered Wang Yuanpan and the palace maids to leave.
That was the first time on the imperial desk.
Before the incident, Pei Yan asked her to clear away all the memorials on the imperial desk, saying that if they were soiled, she would be held accountable.
Jiang Shuyi just thought it was that dirty thing, she packed her things shyly, and in the middle of accepting the favor, she spat a mouthful of blood on Pei Yan's robe.
She still remembers Pei Yan's indifferent expression at that time.
As if expected, and even a little disgusted.
It didn't seem like disgust towards the bloodstains. Jiang Shuyi didn't quite understand it before, but now she understood it clearly. It was disgust towards her methods.
Jiang Shuyi was in a coma for three days. When she woke up, she learned that Concubine Xue had been deposed and sent to the cold palace.
She felt something was wrong. Shouldn't this medicine only wake someone up after two hours of coma? Why did it take three days? And wasn't it said that vomiting blood would inevitably cause some harm to the body, and that one would feel weak after waking up? Why was she so energetic and felt like she could fight another hundred people?
Miao Wangshu and Roupin said they had found a better medicine.
Jiang Shuyi was so happy that she planned to use the same trick again when she was preparing to get rid of Concubine Wu. However, Concubine Rou said embarrassedly that the medicine could not be found because the person who knew how to make it had been arrested by the government.
Jiang Wanqing then persuaded Jiang Shuyi to take real poison, saying that as long as she took a small amount, she could be saved.
Fortunately, although Jiang Shuyi was obsessed with fat at that time, she was still afraid of death and pain, so she did not obey.
Otherwise, I would have been reborn a few years earlier.
......
Pei Yan knew all this.
He watched her use clumsy tricks to frame others, teased her at first, and then finally gave in to her and helped her achieve her wish.
Jiang Shuyi didn't know whether to cry or laugh, whether to be moved or frightened.
No wonder, no wonder when Jiang Shuyi frequently slandered the eldest prince later, Pei Yan clearly listened to her, but just treated the eldest prince coldly and never scolded or punished him once.
I know that's not the case...
Jiang Shuyi felt very lucky.
Fortunately, she had no ambition and relied on Pei Yan. She did not, at the instigation of Jiang Wanqing, plot to murder the emperor and take her son to the throne.
Otherwise, you will really die without a burial place.
Her thoughts were so complicated that she didn't want to eat lunch or dinner. Her mind was full of thoughts about her past life and this life.
Therefore, it was impossible for her to hate Pei Yan. After all, he controlled so many people, but he had never done anything against her. Jiang Shuyi was just slightly frightened. She originally thought that her power in the palace was omnipotent, but now she realized that the reason why many things went so smoothly was because of the emperor's help.
But why did Pei Yan do this?
Did he find it interesting to watch the concubine jumping around, or did he really want to indulge her? If it was the latter, why didn't he just help him get rid of those people?
Jiang Shuyi was thinking and fell asleep unconsciously.
She hadn't had those strange dreams for a long time.
I remember the last time I had a dream, Pei Yan wanted one of Pei Yi and Pei Yu to die, and the living one would inherit the throne.
This time the dream was much more terrifying.
She still couldn't see anything, the surroundings were extremely cold, but there were incessant screams in her ears.
First was Jiang Wanqing’s.
Her voice was so sharp, as if she was being cut by life. At first it was mixed with curses, but later it was just a dignified plea, asking for death.
For a long, long time.
Jiang Shuyi couldn't stand this kind of screams. It didn't matter who was being tortured. Even if it was her sworn enemy, she couldn't bear to hear such a miserable scream. She didn't know if the next scream would be even more miserable.
She struggled to wake up, but couldn't. After an unknown amount of time, the screaming suddenly stopped.
For the first time, Jiang Shuyi felt touch in her dream. It was a hand that was much warmer than her own, gently touching her face: "I forgot that you are timid and always want me to be outside of you when you sleep."
Pei Yan's voice was extremely gentle: "I want you to vent your anger, but I am worried that you will be scared. Just watch here, I will have someone take her out and execute her."
Jiang Shuyi didn't struggle anymore.
She wanted to cry and call Pei Yan, but she knew that she couldn't make any sound and it would be all in vain.
The feeling on my face suddenly disappeared, and I heard a scream again.
"Royal brother!"
It was the voice of the young Pei Yu. He was shocked by what he heard: "You want to kill me?!"
Pei Yi's voice was very deep: "Didn't you say that you would let my brother live? Are you not keeping your word?"
"I can die by myself! But you can't kill me!"
Pei Yu was grief-stricken: "My aunt didn't really treat me, my father hated me, and I killed my mother. I thought my brother was the only relative in the world who treated me wholeheartedly..."
"My brother is good to you, but I am afraid that our mother will miss you in the underworld. Don't you want to see her too? My brother will take you there."
Pei Yu's voice was filled with hope: "What if I don't want to die? Brother, are you willing to die for me?"
He was answered by the sound of a sword piercing flesh.
"Royal brother..."
"Father!"
It was the sound of two kneeling men, Pei Yi speaking righteously: "Your son is willing to be the crown prince, shoulder the weight of the country, bury father and mother together, summon all the magicians in the world, and let father and mother repair their past relationship in the next life!"
Pei Yan, who had remained silent, laughed softly.
"You know what I want."
"Unfortunately, your sword missed the target. Your brother is still breathing and can still speak."
