Chapter 127 I am narrow-minded and hold grudges!
The post station outside the city, in the bamboo forest.
The sun was rising, the temperature was cool, and a breeze rustled through the bamboo forest.
Mei Xiangru sat in the carriage, her hand clutching the teacup, motionless. The cup had long been empty, and she was completely lost in thought, lost in thought for a long time.
"Godmother, the carriage is here." Ah Zhong stood guard at the door with a sword in his arms and reminded in a low voice.
Mei Xiangru immediately came to her senses and stepped out of the carriage, her eyes fixed on the carriage approaching from afar. The carriage was luxurious and rich, with a sign of the Prince Regent's Palace hanging on it.
On both sides were lined up the palace guards and maids. In comparison, Mei Xiangru only had Ah Zhong by her side, and she looked extremely down and out.
"Princess, we're here."
Yinlian pushed open the door and helped Yuntang get out of the carriage.
After landing on the ground, Yuntang raised her head, revealing a haggard and worried face that made her look distressing. Her eyes were bloodshot, her brows were furrowed, and her red lips were pressed into a line.
She looked restless and extremely worried.
Mei Xiangru's heart sank to the bottom.
"Jin'er..." Mei Xiangru's lips trembled, and her eyes turned red. "Didn't you call the old doctor back?"
"The old doctor is far away in the Northern Territory, out of reach. Princess, are you happy now? Are you satisfied? Xiao Jin is dead, and you will never be able to become the Empress Dowager in this life!"
Yun Tang's voice was hoarse and sorrowful, and his almond-shaped eyes were filled with tears and resentment as he glared at Mei Xiangru: "I should have killed you in the first place!"
"I didn't mean to harm Jin'er!"
Mei Xiangru was filled with remorse, "He is my own son! I just wanted him to listen to me! It was the King of the South Sea who deceived me and replaced the love poison with a deadly poison, which is why..."
When Meixiang heard the news that Xiao Jin was poisoned and his life was hanging by a thread, she felt like the sky had fallen!
Everything she did, her desires, her ambitions, were all based on the premise that Xiao Jin would ascend the throne. Now that Xiao Jin was dead, someone else would sit on the throne, and all her efforts would be in vain!
Her son must live!
Mei Xiangru hurriedly took out a bottle of medicine from her sleeve and rushed to Yuntang anxiously, "Xiao Yuntang, this is for you!"
"Stop! Don't get close to the princess!" Yinlian led people to stop her.
Mei Xiangru could only anxiously explain to Yuntang: "This is the antidote! I stole it from the King of the South Sea! Little Yuntang, take it back and save Jin'er! Quick!"
Yuntang's eyes were cold and resistant, and he didn't trust her.
Mei Xiangru was extremely anxious and took a sip in front of Yuntang. "It's not poisonous! It really is the antidote! Little Yuntang, believe me! I am the person in this world who most doesn't want Jin'er to die! I am his biological mother!!!"
"It's too late." Yuntang smiled bitterly.
Her thick, black eyelashes trembled, and tears fell like beads from a broken string. Yun Tang cried with suppressed sorrow: "It's too late! Even if there is an antidote, it can't save Xiao Jin."
What?
Mei Xiangru stumbled back and almost fell to the ground. Ah Zhong supported her in time, "Godmother, be careful."
"Get out of here!" Mei Xiangru pushed Ah Zhong away, breathing heavily. There was no trace of charm on her charming and mature face, only the look of old age and grief.
She shouted hoarsely, "I want to see Jin'er!"
"Don't even think about it! It's all your fault that Xiao Jin is in trouble today! You're not worthy of being his mother!"
Yun Tang was extremely angry. He clenched his fists and threatened, "Mei Xiangru, go back and tell the King of Nanhai! I will definitely kill him and avenge Xiao Jin!"
After he finished speaking, Yuntang turned around and was about to leave.
Mei Xiangru rushed over and shouted at her, ignoring the guards' swords and knives: "Wait! Xiao Yuntang, stop!"
Yuntang turned his back to her, a cunning and complacent look in his eyes. He took the bait!
She glanced into the depths of the bamboo forest, her eyelashes trembling, and in an instant she turned into a pitiful woman, heartbroken and angry for her husband. Yun Tang turned back and glared at Mei Xiangru angrily, "I have nothing to say to you!"
Mei Xiangru shouted, "If the King of Nanhai and the King of Jinxi enter the city, you and your child will have no chance of survival!"
"I'm not stupid. As soon as Xiao Jin dies, I'll take Dan'er away from Kyoto!"
"No!" Mei Xiangru was anxious, "You can't give up on Jin'er! You are her princess! Wait until the old doctor comes back, Jin'er will definitely be saved! I will buy you some time!"
Yun Tang shook her head. "I don't believe you! You can even kill your own husband! Your children are also your pawns. Who knows if you are lying to me?"
Mei Xiangru was too anxious and stepped into a trap.
She asked anxiously, "How can you trust me?"
"Forsythia!"
Lian Qiao followed orders and stepped forward, taking out two pills and handing them to Mei Xiangru. Mei Xiangru's pupils suddenly shrank, and she questioned Yun Tang: "You want me to take poison?"
"This is the poison for the King and Princess of Nanhai!"
Yun Tang took two steps forward, his almond-shaped eyes staring at Mei Xiangru with cold anger: "I want them to suffer a fate worse than death!"
Mei Xiangru's expression changed and she looked at Yuntang in surprise.
Yuntang loves Xiao Jin more than last time!
The new discovery brought her schemes back to life!
Mei Xiangru said excitedly, "Xiao Yuntang, it's time for you and me to join forces! Not only can I deal with the King of Nanhai and his wife, I can also control the King of Jinxi!"
"Take good care of Jin'er! He has the appearance of an emperor, he won't die!"
"I'll help you! You help me too. Tell Jin'er that I'll help him get rid of the vassal king! We can wipe the slate clean and start anew!"
Yun Tang remained unmoved and looked at her coldly: "Before the King of Nanhai enters the city, the curse must be successfully cast!"
"Okay! Wait for my good news!" Mei Xiangru excitedly returned to the carriage and urged A Zhong to drive!
Yuntang stared at the direction where the carriage was going away.
The sadness, anger and coldness on her face disappeared, becoming calm and peaceful.
She blinked and asked Lian Qiao curiously, "What kind of poison did she take? How long can she live?"
Mei Xiangru's face looks wrong!
She is getting old so fast. Last time I saw her, her hair was still black and shiny, but this time I saw her hair had several more white hairs!
Aging, cloudy eyes.
Yuntang had died once, and she clearly sensed the aura of death in Mei Xiangru!
"The forbidden drug in the palace - beauty fades."
Xiao Jin was elusive, standing behind Yun Tang, whispering in her ear. The others tactfully stood ten steps away, lowering their heads to serve as a backdrop.
"What kind of poison is this?" Yun Tang turned around and looked at him.
Xiao Jin continued to explain, "It was once a poison used by the harem to punish concubines. In the early stages, there was no illness or pain, and it was extremely difficult to detect. In the later stages, it caused heartbreak and vomiting of blood. There is no antidote!"
Xiao Jin's eyes were filled with sarcasm. "She used this poison to kill several concubines who competed with her for favor. Now it's her turn."
Chronic poison, needs seven doses!
Mei Xiangru still has one last chance! When it will come down depends entirely on Xiao Jin's mood.
"Xiao Yu'er, don't believe a word she says!"
Xiao Jin reached out his hand and gently wiped away the tears from Yun Tang's eyes with his fingertips. "He gave birth to me so that I could be a concubine. Now he saved me so that he could become the empress dowager."
"Everyone is a pawn to satisfy her desire for power. Once they lose their usefulness, she will abandon them without hesitation and kill them!"
Yuntang smiled after hearing this.
She said, "Don't worry, I won't beg for mercy or say anything nice for her. I'm petty and hold grudges! After I've used her, she'll be worthless! Kill her if you want!"
Xiao Jin froze when he said this. Even through the mask, one could sense that his expression was not looking good.
Small-minded and vindictive?
After it’s been used up, it’s worthless?
Is Xiao Yuer hinting something to him?
