Chapter 254: Poisoning Jinniang, I Know I Was Wrong
"This is your first time in the palace, so behave yourself!"
After warning Jinniang, Yun Zhiyi strode ahead, not wanting to even give her a glance.
Yun Zhiyi's face was pale and ugly, and his hands were clenched into fists.
He didn't expect that when he returned home, he would find Jinniang entering the house and treating herself as his wife.
The Yun family didn't believe her and didn't accept her easily.
She was just placed under guard in a remote courtyard.
In the blink of an eye, the imperial decree granting marriage was delivered to the Yun family!
He had no choice.
If you don't marry, it will be a crime of disobeying the order and punishable by death!
Yun Zhiyi felt extremely bitter in his heart. His Majesty became jealous after losing his memory and could not even tolerate his secret love and silent protection!
"Husband, why are you walking so fast? I can't keep up!"
Jinniang ran up and reached out to hug his arm.
"Don't touch me!" Yun Zhiyi reacted violently and took a big step to distance himself.
He warned hatefully, "Stay away from me! I'm not your husband!"
Jinniang was shameless and laughed smugly: "My husband, His Majesty has granted us marriage, it's only a matter of time!"
Yun Zhiyi was so angry that he swung his sleeves weakly, and walked even faster with the wind under his feet.
Jinniang curled her lips and followed him.
She looked around, taking in the majestic and magnificent palace halls and pavilions, the gardens and courtyards with exotic flowers and plants, and the lakes and waterside pavilions. The scenery was like a fairyland on earth!
Jinniang's eyes sparkled and her breathing became heavy with excitement.
She never dreamed that the person she saved was the current emperor, the emperor of the Great Yan Kingdom!
She really wants to be a concubine and live in the palace!
but……
Recalling Xiao Jin's crazy and terrifying side, Jinniang shuddered with fear and shook her head repeatedly.
She is afraid of death!
She should just marry Yun Zhiyi.
Jinniang's greedy eyes lingered on Yun Zhiyi, and she found that Yun Zhiyi was also very handsome and elegant!
He was also a high-ranking official and his family was rich enough to rival a country.
More importantly, Yun Zhiyi is not as scary and fierce as Xiao Jin. Jinniang clenched her fists and was full of confidence!
She wants Yun Zhiyi to kneel down under her skirt!
She wants to be the mistress of the Yun family!
Everything in the Yun family belongs to her! Hahahaha——
"Lord Yun."
Yinlian was waiting at the gate of Changle Palace. When she saw Yun Zhiyi bowing, she glanced at Jinniang behind her with contempt and coldness out of the corner of her eye.
Yinlian led the way: "Master Yun, please come in. The Queen has been waiting for you for a long time."
"good."
"Husband!" Jinniang rushed forward and grabbed Yun Zhiyi's arm tightly.
Yun Zhiyi couldn't break free for a moment. The palace maids and eunuchs around him looked at him curiously, and he could only endure it with grief and anger.
"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen."
Jinniang's imitation was weird. She knelt down, but still dared to look up and stare at Yuntang.
Yuntang's pretty face was frosty, as cold as a fairy in the Moon Palace, unattainable and without a trace of smile.
She sat on the phoenix chair elegantly and noblely.
He condescended to glance at her and said, "No need to be polite."
"Thank you, Queen."
Yun Zhiyi had just stood up when Jinniang rudely sat down next to Yuntang.
She commented carelessly, "Empress, your house is so gorgeous! So beautiful!"
"Even the floor tiles are inlaid with gold! Can I take one back with me?"
"And the teacup, wow! Is it made of jade?"
Yuntang looked at her coldly without saying anything.
Yun Zhiyi was almost pissed off and reached out to pull him back: "Who told you to sit there? Behave yourself in front of the Empress!"
"Husband, we are a family!"
Jinniang grinned at Yuntang: "Empress, I will be your cousin from now on. I can come to the palace more often to accompany you!"
Jinniang is not only greedy.
She's still pushing her limits!
Yun Tang curled his lips coldly: "Are you thirsty after entering the palace? Qinglan, serve tea."
Qinglan brought out a pot of tea and poured a cup for everyone.
Jinniang picked up the jade cup with beautiful carvings, dazzled by the wealth and splendor, and smiled from ear to ear: "What a fragrant smell! Queen, what kind of tea is this?"
Qinglan rolled her eyes and interrupted, "This year's West Lake tribute tea is worth a thousand gold coins."
Jinniang's eyes widened!
So expensive!
She was indeed extremely smart and didn't ask for ten thousand taels of gold! Otherwise, how could she afford to drink tribute tea worth one or two thousand taels of gold in her lifetime!
Jinniang carefully picked it up as if holding a jewel and took a sip: "Hiss... It's so hot..."
"Why is it a bit bitter?"
Jinniang looked up and saw Yuntang holding a teacup and humming softly, ignoring her.
Yun Zhiyi was extremely disgusted and just drank tea without paying any attention to anyone.
Jinniang felt resentful in her heart, why was she pretending?
She would soon be the mistress of the Yun family, with plenty of money! In the future, she would also drink tea worth one or two thousand gold coins, pouring a cup after a cup!
Jinniang picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp, then pretended to praise it, "It's really delicious. Thank you, Queen."
Then, she ordered Qinglan: "You! Pour me another glass!"
Qinglan poured her another glass.
After the second cup, Jinniang's expression suddenly changed drastically, and her body began to sway and tremble...
“Crack!”
The teacup fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
Jinniang held her stomach and stood up in agony: "It hurts...my stomach...my stomach hurts..."
Covered in cold sweat, Jinniang staggered half a step and fell heavily to the ground!
She screamed in pain: "It hurts so much..."
“Help…help me…”
“It hurts so much ahhhh——”
Yun Zhiyi stood up in shock, her face horrified: "What's going on? Queen, stop drinking!"
Yun Zhiyi subconsciously rushed to Yun Tang, anxiously saying, "Empress! The tea is poisoned!"
"Yeah, I know."
It's not that there's poison in the tea, it's that there's poison on the cup.
Yuntang sat steadily on the phoenix chair, calm and elegant as usual.
With a faint smile on her beautiful face, she comforted Yun Zhiyi: "Cousin, please sit down."
Yun Zhiyi is not a fool.
He understood everything in an instant!
Looking at Jinniang again, she was in so much pain that she couldn't even scream out, and rolled around on the ground weakly...
She was bleeding from all seven orifices and her death looked horrible!
It was a painful death!
Yun Tang smiled and curled his lips: "Cousin, I'm sorry. You can't get married."
Yun Zhiyi breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head in shame, "It's my fault for being useless. I made you dirty your hands."
"Your Majesty has arrived—"
The eunuch had just reported when Xiao Jin strode into the hall.
When he saw Jinniang's body, his brows furrowed, and he walked towards Yuntang with a cold and unhappy expression...
"His Majesty!"
Yun Zhiyi knelt in the middle in fear.
He stopped Xiao Jin and took the blame on himself without hesitation: "It was your servant who poisoned him! It was your servant who killed him! It has nothing to do with the Empress!"
"Someone come! Take him down!"
Xiao Jin was just worrying for no reason. He smiled like a demon, glaring at Yun Zhiyi with murderous intent: "You disobey my order! You dare to poison the harem? Give him to me..."
Yun Tang put down his teacup and called out coldly, "Xiao Jin!"
Xiao Jin was about to say something when he looked at Yun Tang's cold almond eyes without a smile on his face.
He felt inexplicably anxious.
Xiao Jin changed his tone: "Lock him up first! We'll deal with him later!"
Yun Zhiyi was arrested.
Then, Xiao Jin gave another order to drag Jinniang's body out and cut it into pieces!
After destroying the body, throw it into a mass grave!
"Xiao Yu'er, she was so unlucky to die suddenly." Xiao Jin downplayed the situation, covering up the fact that Yuntang poisoned her.
But he still refused to let Yun Zhiyi go!
Phoenix Eyes was scheming sinisterly, and Xiao Jin said again: "I will grant you a new marriage..."
"Xiao Jin, I'm already pregnant with my third child. You're of no use to me."
Yun Tang interrupted him with a cold face, "You move out to sleep tonight."
Xiao Jin's face changed drastically, and he finally panicked: "I will not grant you the marriage!"
He used the most cowardly tone and said the harshest words!
"I am the emperor!"
"...I know I was wrong, I won't move!"
