Chapter 216 Beg him to save himself.
The emperor called people into the imperial study.
He wrote on a piece of white paper, explained the affairs of the harem, and then said calmly, "I heard that you told the Imperial Household Department that you had committed a serious offense in the Lin Ruyu incident and that you must face the wall and reflect on your mistakes for a year?"
Yun Zhao bowed his head and said respectfully, "Yes."
The emperor scoffed, "Why don't you just say ten years?"
Yun Zhao lowered her head, her stunning face hidden in the plain fabric of her clothes. She knew that she was not someone who could play tricks in front of the emperor.
But I also understand that the drop of ink that fell from the emperor's pen in the morning light that day was definitely not meaningless.
She didn't dare to flatter herself, but she also understood that everyone would occasionally lose focus under a beautiful face.
I can’t say I like her very much, but it’s very likely that she is attractive to me.
All she had to do was to catch the eye and show some interest.
She said flatly, "Ten years is too long to be credible. One year seems much more sincere. Besides, I'm just a servant under the Emperor. Why should the Emperor care about my clumsy words? There are thousands of beauties in the palace, and Yun Zhao is just the most loyal servant. I'm really terrified that I've caused the Emperor to pay attention to a casual remark. Yun Zhao deserves to die."
Upon hearing this, the Emperor looked at Yun Zhao's lowered head and sneered, "I wonder when you became so good at talking."
Yun Zhao still lowered his head. "I won't say what I shouldn't say, but I'll naturally say what I should say. The Emperor has been so kind to me that it's like a rebirth. Three years of grace seems like yesterday, and I'll always remember it in my heart."
The emperor continued writing with his head bowed, his tone indifferent, his emotions unrecognizable. "What if I no longer wish to continue this three-year agreement?"
"Yun Zhao," the emperor wrote in large characters on the paper, "What if I find you interesting and want you to stay in this palace?"
Yun Zhao calmly said, "If the Emperor wants Yun Zhao to stay, then Yun Zhao should naturally stay. However, Yun Zhao will no longer be Yun Zhao, but just the most dull nightingale in this deep palace."
The emperor felt bored when he heard this!
He waved his hand and said, "Get out."
Yun Zhao lowered his head and slowly backed out.
The emperor understood that Yun Zhao was telling him that if she was forced to stay, she would become like all the concubines in the deep palace.
They are full of intrigue and are just trying to create chaos in the world.
She also told the emperor that she could be a counselor or a concubine in the harem, but if she became a concubine, then her medical skills would not be a panacea to please the harem, but a cold knife to kill the concubines who competed for favor.
The emperor loves beautiful women, but doesn't like to cause trouble for himself.
Especially when it's such a big trouble.
Imperial Noble Consort Chen propped up her chin and looked at Yun Zhao with amusement, "Did you really say that to the Emperor? He must be furious. As the emperor, being looked down upon like this is too damaging to his dignity."
Yun Zhao smiled and was about to speak.
Concubine Yi's people came in and said, "Yunpin, Concubine Yi wants you to come over."
Yun Zhao had heard before that Lin Ruyu was paralyzed and could not move any part of her body except her eyes.
The Queen Mother originally wanted to save the patient, but she found that she had consumed a lot of detoxification pills, but they had no effect at all. Instead, the symptoms became more serious.
The Queen Mother was furious and decided not to waste the elixir anymore.
This became a laughing stock in the palace.
I never thought that Concubine Yi would take the initiative to speak up for Lin Ruyu today.
Imperial Noble Consort Chen glanced at Yun Zhao and said, "If you don't want to go, then don't go. In my palace, it's not reasonable to listen to the orders of a queen."
Imperial Noble Consort Chen likes smart people, and this smart person is the one Mu Chengyan likes, so she secretly has a little more favoritism in her heart.
"Let's go take a look," Yun Zhao said softly after drinking the tea in front of him before standing up. "We have to deal with these two people eventually. Only then can I leave with peace of mind."
Imperial Noble Consort Chen nodded and said, "Go ahead." She gave her maid a look and said, "You follow her." This was an old person that Imperial Noble Consort Chen employed. Yun Zhao's status was not as high as Concubine Yi's now, and Imperial Noble Consort Chen was afraid that Yun Zhao would suffer a loss.
No matter who brought her here, they would not dare to act too arrogantly.
Yun Zhao smiled lightly and walked out.
When she arrived at Concubine Yi's territory, she did not see Concubine Yi, but saw Xie Jingmo, who looked exhausted.
The smile on her lips faded a little.
The smile on Concubine Yi's face deepened as she was picking grapes in the yard.
"Yun Zhao," Xie Jingmo was speechless. "Why did you suddenly use such a harsh hand on Lin Ruyu? You have to understand that this is the palace. If you constantly demonstrate your abilities, you will be appreciated, but you will also be coveted. It's a double-edged sword. You are so smart, don't you know it?"
Yun Zhao looked at Xie Jingmo and listened to his words. If someone didn't know, they would think that Xie Jingmo cared about her.
"I don't understand what General Xie said."
"Don't you understand? Don't play dumb. I know you did it. Quickly, get rid of the poison for me."
Yun Zhao shook off Xie Jingmo's hand and said, "Sorry, I can't solve it."
Xie Jingmo immediately: "Why?!"
Yun Zhao: "This is an advanced version of oyster poison. The poison will naturally subside within ten days, but if you take supplements during this period, you will definitely die."
When Lin Ruyu was poisoned that day, it was the Queen Mother who gave her a magic pill that she thought would save her life.
After that, he fed him three more pills in a row.
These few precious medicines have now become Lin Ruyu's soul-chasing sword.
"So, General Xie, if you want to find someone to settle accounts with, you should find the Queen Mother." This matter has nothing to do with her.
General Xie narrowed his eyes and said, "Why do you have to pick on Lin Ruyu? If you say it's because of your parents, it's been so long.
Yun Zhao, if you can't let go of the past, how can you have a bright future? You have to look forward. I know you can cure this poison. Be obedient and follow me in first to cure this poison."
As Xie Jingmo said this, he was about to pull Yun Zhao.
Yun Zhao let him pull him along and simply said, "I just made it very clear. This poison will automatically dissolve itself after ten days. However, the poison that has been added to the lungs can no longer be dispelled."
Xie Jingmo turned his head.
Yun Zhao looked calm and serious.
She looked directly into Xie Jingmo's eyes, without a trace of emptiness in her expression, "Xie Jingmo, I didn't lie to you this time."
As he spoke, Xie Jingmo had already pulled Yun Zhao into Lin Ruyu's room.
Yun Zhao spoke every word, his voice echoing clearly in the room.
She said: "I am not lying. This poison cannot be cured even by a Daluo Immortal. Lin Ruyu, you only have two choices."
Yun Zhao felt that he was really kind. At this time, he gave Lin Ruyu two choices, "Either, die, or——"
"You can just live like this."
"Lying in bed, I hear my skin rotting, see my face aging, and feel my delicate skin decaying bit by bit."
"Lin Ruyu, you can choose."
Lin Ruyu could no longer move her mouth except her eyes.
She couldn't make any sound.
Her desperate tears slowly fell from her eyes and hit the pillow.
She looked at Xie Jingmo deeply.
Beg him to save himself.
