Chapter 5 Lotus Seed Soup
At this moment, in Hanxiang Palace.
"Empress, news comes from the Prime Minister, you can do it." Concubine Xiang's personal palace maid hurriedly walked in. Seeing this, Xiang'er let the maids who served retreat, leaving only the palace maid.
"Haha, I can finally do it. I have tolerated that old emperor for a long time. If it weren't for Ayan, I wouldn't have compromised and served an old man in this way."
When the palace maid heard what Xiang'er said, she smiled coldly. With her virtue, she didn't know what her master liked her. And Ayan, would she hate him if she knew that her Ayan was just using her to get the throne?
"Ruyi, let the kitchen make a bowl of lotus seed soup. I will go to Qianyuan Palace to visit the emperor."
How could Xiang'er have thought that Chen Yan was just using her. When the old emperor died, he would support the second prince to ascend the throne and control the government. The first person to kill was him.
The kitchen manager was originally scolding the eunuch under her. When she saw Ruyi coming over, she was slightly stunned, and then changed into a flattering smile:
"Miss Ruyi, what instructions does Concubine Xiang have?" Ruyi nodded slightly and said in a condescending tone:
"You go and make a bowl of lotus seed soup as soon as possible, the empress wants to drink it."
"Yes, yes." The nanny in charge couldn't stand Ruyi's domineering appearance, but now a concubine in Xiang is favored. Ruyi cannot be easily offended.
After a while, the lotus seed soup was ready. Ruyi brought the lotus seed soup to the hall. He signaled that Concubine Xiang would pay the others. After they went out, Ruyi took out a small bottle from her pocket and poured the powder from the bottle into the soup a little bit. Xiang'er thought it was poison, so she didn't ask much. However, she didn't know that this was much different from what she thought.
"Emperor, Concubine Xiang is here." Xiang'er tidied up her clothes and took the soup out. Since that incident, the emperor somehow changed his past and started to do political affairs. Even her Hanxiang Palace was less, but Xiang'er used money to handle those servants, so they were very grateful to her. Seeing her coming, she hurried to inform the emperor.
"Xiang'er is here? Let her come in." The emperor was used to indulging in lust. How could he really remember that he was the king of the country and could not indulge in women day and night? Everything was just for those old stubborn people to see.
After obtaining permission, Concubine Xiang took Ruyi in and saluted slightly.
"I will meet the emperor."
"The beloved concubine is not a gift." The emperor felt so distressed when he saw his beauty, so he quickly helped her up.
When Xiang'er saw the old emperor's lustful look, she felt even more disdainful. However, she had to pretend to be affectionate and said.
"I learned that the emperor has been working hard for state affairs these days, and specially made a bowl of lotus seed soup for the emperor."
"I'm sorry, my beloved concubine." The old emperor smiled at the considerate concubine beside him. Without any hesitation, he drank the soup.
The emperor wanted to be as gentle as the concubine Xiang, but as soon as he finished drinking the soup, he spat a mouthful of blood.
"Why are you?" The old emperor looked at Xiang'er who was smiling brightly beside him in disbelief. Xiang'er sneer when she saw the emperor sneer:
"Your Majesty, if you don't die, how should Ayan get to power?"
"But don't worry, your sons will be with you soon and will not leave you alone."
