Chapter 23 also cures his own body

  In another carriage, Zhu was still shaken. She kept patting her chest and muttering that she should attend such banquets less often.

  Yun Jingchu leaned against Zhu's shoulder, closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, but her thoughts drifted further and further away.

  Half a year ago, Dongfang Chen had just ascended to the throne and was about to confer the title of Guifei on Yun Xiyao. She did not object. From the moment she married Dongfang Chen and decided to support him in ascending to the imperial throne, she never wanted to be bound by one man for her entire life. So, whether he took other women into the palace or his own sister, it was all the same to her. Just as her father and Yuwen Shi had advised her at the time, Yun Xiyao's entry into the palace could still help support her.

  Moreover, at that time, she didn't take Yun Tuyao as a formidable opponent.

  But she didn't expect that at the first banquet after Yun Xiu's coronation, Yun Xiu would be poisoned and lean weakly against Dongfang Chen's chest. A palace maid trembled with fear, saying that she was forced by the Empress Dowager. Yun Xiu also closed her eyes and wept, saying "Sister wants my life, younger sister has no complaints." Very clumsy acting, but what's laughable is that Dongfang Chen actually believed it.

  However, the palace maid was still Yun Xiao's confidant who had brought her into the palace.

  What's even more ridiculous is that the palace maid was pitied for being helpless, beaten dozens of times and barely escaped with her life. Meanwhile, the mastermind behind this incident received the lightest punishment from Dongfang Chen - house arrest for a month, with Yun Suoyao taking charge of handling matters in the palace. When she came out, she soon discovered that except for Fengxiang Palace, the entire harem had already been controlled by Dongfang Chen and Yun Suoyao's trusted followers.

  It was only then that she realized Yun Xiyao's ulterior motives. However, she clung to her pride and refused to become a palace woman vying for favor, foolishly thinking that everything was within her control. After all, her significance to Dongfang Chen was special, not something those women who relied on their beauty could compare to. Moreover, she held the power of the night in her hands, and many officials in the court supported her. At that time, she was still helping Dongfang Chen eliminate his enemies and secure his throne, neglecting the battlefield of the harem.

  Until Yu'er was killed, she regretted not killing Yunxiu Yao with one knife at the beginning, even if it meant thoroughly breaking up with Dongfang Chen. In fact, her judgment of people has always been poor, especially when it comes to men, whether before or after crossing over.

  She just wanted Yún Xī Yáo to taste the flavor she had back then. She must have never thought that today's play was designed by her own hands.

  That palace maid is indeed Cloud Ripples' confidante, and Eastern Horizon should be aware of this too. Eastern Horizon's personality is suspicious, with his spies all over the palace.

  That poison was indeed under Cui Yun's control, and Cui Yun would only release poison after receiving orders from Yun Xiu Yao.

  Yun Xiao Yao was cautious, every time she let the palace slaves help her with something, she would secretly place a small piece of paper in a specific location. At first glance, there were no marks on the paper, but once it was soaked in rice porridge, words would appear, and these words would quickly disappear, leaving no trace behind.

  What a pity! Yun Jingchu just found out about these recently. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been on her way three months ago.

  After finding this out, Yun Xiu Yao secretly informed Wang Yu Yan and asked her to imitate Yun Xiu Yao's handwriting to write a note. She then placed the note in the place where Yun Xiu Yao had instructed Qiao Yun to do something, telling her to poison someone and not to be afraid, saying that if anything happened, she would save her.

  Then what happened at the banquet just now occurred.

  In the carriage, Yun Jingchu slowly opened her eyes. She should go take a look at Zhao's other two sisters and then arrange the next move.

  Yun Xiao Yao, please wait quietly for the second gift I will give you.
