533. Concubine Rong, the story of failed poisoning

The thirteenth prince took a breath and rushed to the old woman, "Concubine! What have you done?"

The old woman stared at the Thirteenth Prince with half-squinted eyes, "Are you questioning me?"

The Thirteenth Prince realized his gaffe, quickly took a step back, lowered his head and whispered softly, "Shi Ming doesn't dare! Shi Ming is just... just worried about the safety of his mother and concubine."

The old woman sneered, "Worried about the mother-in-law? Humph! I think you are worried about the ninth princess!"

The Thirteenth Prince choked, lowered his eyes, and spoke in a lower voice, "There is no child."

The old woman lay half sideways on the chair and said in a strange tone, "You should be worried about her. After all, she saved your life, and you had that passionate kiss..."

The thirteenth prince's pale face suddenly turned red. He stopped the old woman's words in shock, "Mother, concubine, that's not... not... she was trying to save... the child..." Maybe it was because of the sudden incident.

Excited, the Thirteenth Prince began to pant rapidly, staggered twice, and then fell to the ground.

The old woman frowned, with a look of disgust on her face, "Why did I give birth to such a useless son like you!"

It took a long time for the Thirteenth Prince to recover. During this period, his mother-in-law only glanced at him and didn't even say a word of concern. The Thirteenth Prince calmed down and said weakly,

"Concubine, where have you been?"

The old woman sat up, her eyes shining with excitement again, "Of course I'm going to do business."

"Business?" The thirteenth prince suddenly had a bad feeling. The business his mother-in-law said must not be a good thing.

"I'm going to poison the Ninth Princess." The old woman said excitedly.

"What!" The Thirteenth Prince exclaimed, "You went to poison the Ninth Princess. Then she..." At this moment, he just felt like the world was spinning. If he hadn't had a strong willpower, he might have fainted at this moment.

.

"Why are you so anxious?" The old woman sneered and glanced at her son, "She's fine." The old woman lay down and said slowly, "That bastard Liu Shiyi is really too powerful, let alone kill him, even if you want to

It's impossible to get close to him. Unfortunately, he is not perfect! He still has weaknesses after all."

"The Ninth Prince has a weakness?" The Thirteenth Prince said in shock, how is this possible!

"Huh! Of course he does! His weakness is his princess, the woman named Qiao Manzhu! Ah ha, that woman has a really hard life. It turns out that I like her quite a bit, but it's a pity that she married that bastard.

I would have to kill her."

"Mother concubine..." As soon as the thirteenth prince heard that his mother wanted to kill Manzhu, he became anxious again.

But the old woman didn't listen to what the Thirteenth Prince said. She continued calmly, "Today I heard that Hanyan Palace was making snacks for a competition. I thought this was an opportunity and wanted to fish in troubled waters, but

I didn't expect that bastard Liu Shiyi to arrange so many people to secretly protect the Ninth Princess.

Finally, I killed a palace maid, disguised myself as her, and then sneaked into the Hanyan Palace. At first, I wanted to poison the Ninth Princess directly, so that the bastard Liu Shiyi would also feel sad.

It tastes amazing, but I didn’t expect that all the dim sum made by the palace maids must be tested with a silver needle and tasted by a dedicated person before being served.

In front of the Ninth Princess, I then thought that the bastard would not be on guard against the Ninth Princess. Even if the food made by the Ninth Princess was poison, he would eat it without any hesitation. I wanted to find an opportunity to give that bastard a try in front of the Ninth Princess.

The snacks she made were poisonous, but I didn’t expect that the ninth princess actually did everything herself, even

When she was baking pastries, she never left her side, and I couldn't find a chance to make a move. Although I fell short this time, what did it matter! Although Liu Shiyi, that bastard, protected the Ninth Princess, I still couldn't get in.

Are you in the Han Yan Palace?" After saying this, the old woman smiled gloomily with a proud look on her face.

The old woman smiled happily, but the thirteenth prince beside her broke into a cold sweat. It was really dangerous. Fortunately, Brother Ninth had prepared well in advance and protected the Ninth Princess carefully. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable, and the palace maid would have lost her life innocently.

The old woman glanced at the Thirteenth Prince from the corner of her eye and asked, "How did you do what I asked you to do?"

The Thirteenth Prince bit his lip, lowered his head and hesitated without speaking. The old woman knew that he had failed just by looking at his expression, and she suddenly burst into anger, "You useless thing! I asked you to do such a little thing.

Even small things can’t be done well.”

"Yes. It's because the child is not doing things well." The Thirteenth Prince's voice was as low as a mosquito.

The old woman stood up, raised her hand and slapped the Thirteenth Prince again, and shouted angrily, "This slap will make you remember! You have to remember what you live for! It's revenge! It's revenge!

It's all because of that bastard Liu Shiyi that we, mother and son, have fallen to where we are today, so we must take revenge!"

The Thirteenth Prince dumbly repeated like a puppet, "Revenge, revenge, revenge..."

The old woman nodded with satisfaction, hunched over and walked slowly towards the secret door. After taking a few steps, she turned back and said, "You have to remember, no matter what, you must try your best to get close to the Ninth Princess."

The thirteenth prince seemed not to have heard the old woman's words and was still saying mechanically, "Revenge, revenge, revenge..."

The old woman sneered quite proudly and finally entered the secret door. With the dull sound of starting the mechanism, the secret door closed. At this time, the sky outside became darker...

In the Hanyan Palace, what Shiyi saw as soon as he entered the door was this scene. Manzhu was putting her white hands on the table, holding her chin and taking a nap. Chunxiangchun was happy to see Shiyi come in, and quickly knelt down to salute.

, Shiyi waved his hand and asked them to retreat first. The two girls quickly retreated out of the room and closed the door.

The candlelight added a bit of hazy softness to the entire palace, and also covered Manzhu with a faint red light. Looking at such a warm and beautiful picture, he couldn't help but softly said, "Why would you die if you don't get it?"

, I wish to be a mandarin duck and not envy the immortals." He thought that this poem was taught to him by Manzhu before, and a smile couldn't help but rise on his lips. He gently hugged Manzhu horizontally and carefully

Putting her on the bed, he helped her take off her shoes and socks, and covered her with a quilt. His eyes were full of pity. He gently stroked Manzhu's smooth and delicate cheeks with the back of his fingers and murmured, "Why are you so stupid? Sleepy
