Wicked Prince’s Abandoned Wife - C259
Yun Ruo Lu did not drink the tea on the table. She knew that there was something wrong with the tea. After all, Yu’er was only fifteen years old. Although she tried her best to conceal this matter, from a fifteen year old perspective, it was already good that she didn’t reveal it on her face. But in the end, she was still too young and too inexperienced.
Her expression betrayed her in the face of a very tense situation. She was still a little girl. The tea should have been prepared by Yuchi Xuanxuan. She knew very well what he had given her, and it couldn’t have been a medicine meant to take her life. It was still the kind of medicine that would make people lose their memories after eating it.
Yun Ruo Lu hastily closed the door. She knew that there was an expert following them, so she left Yu’er behind and said, “I know there’s something in this tea. The emperor asked you to do it.” Yun Ruo Lu said to Yu’er seriously.
“Empress, have mercy. This servant really doesn’t know anything. This servant will only listen to the arrangements of the palace maids by the side of the emperor.” Yu’er immediately knelt down. She was trembling with fear.
“Yu’er, how about this? If I add this in my food or tea in the future, you can take it. Just remind me to drink all of it.” Yun Ruo sighed helplessly. Why would Yuchi Xuan be so afraid of her reminiscing about the past? What had happened in the past?
Yun Ruo Lu felt that based on his performance, what Yuchi Xuan had told her was truly unfathomable. Yun Ruo Lu could tell that if Yuchi Xuan hadn’t doted on her, it would have been a lie. No emperor would be so lenient towards a concubine in the imperial palace. However, she was able to tell that Yuchi Xuan didn’t want her to recall that past as well.
He still didn’t know what the two of them had in common.
“If you tell the Emperor about this, do you believe he’ll just have someone beat you to death?” Although Yun Ruo Lu’s words were threatening, she was speaking the truth. If Yuchi Xuan wasn’t afraid of her suspicions, he would have ordered his servants to beat her to death long ago. However, if she were to tell this to Yuchi Xuan, he might risk being suspected and immediately execute this palace maid.
Then tell her it was an accident.
“Alright, this servant will listen to the Empress.” Yu’er trembled all over. She knew that if she messed things up again, she would die. She felt that she was still young, and she didn’t want to die yet.
Since Yun Ruo Lu gave her this path, she could only accept it. She wasn’t very smart, but she entered the palace at the age of six. He knew that it was difficult to walk in the palace. The reason the mama had recommended her to do this was because she had been young since she had entered the palace. It wasn’t easy for her to expose herself.
However, no one would’ve thought that after taking such a beating, she would be in such a state of fear. Yet, the ones who were in such a state were the most likely to be frightened, and also the ones who were the easiest to expose their flaws.
“Then tell me, other than this tea, what else would have problems?” Although Yun Ruo Lu didn’t want to make things difficult for a child, she could only ask this.
“Niangniang, originally, this servant was only adding this medicinal powder to your supplement, but ever since Niangniang overturned the supplement, they let me pour it into tea.” Yu’er spoke honestly.
Yun Ruo Lu took the medicinal powder from Yu’er’s hands and sniffed it. She felt that it was just an ordinary medicinal ingredient. It shouldn’t be a big deal if she ate it.
She took the powder back and then buried her head in Yuchi Kingdom’s library. On the surface, she wanted to find some interesting stories, but she secretly brought back the medical books and changed the cover.
Thus, everyone thought that she was reading some miscellaneous books. Thus, she actually brought back some miscellaneous books.
Just as she was flipping through the medical books, she finally found something in a collection of herbs that made one’s memory decline after eating too much.
However, he couldn’t eat this kind of thing alone, otherwise, it would be very easy for him to turn people into idiots.
This powder should not be as simple as this herb.
“Empress, Yu’er has made a new discovery today.” Yu’er felt that it was better to rely on the Empress than the Empress, because she herself understood that what she had done was extremely dangerous. Who knew? Perhaps one day the Emperor would kill her and silence her.
So she hoped that the Empress could save her.
“What is it?” Yun Ruo asked leisurely.
“This is a pill made out of that medicine. It was originally from the powder that Lord Reverend Mother gave us, but this time, she did not want to grind it, so she gave it to me.” Yu’er took a black pill.
Yun Ruo sniffed it and licked it, feeling a faint fragrance. It seemed like this really was a type of amnesia medicine.
She opened it up and found that although it was black on the outside, it was white on the inside. It was even and even, not like it had been squeezed from medicine.
It seemed like it was made under high temperatures, such as refining pills.
Yun Ruo Lu suddenly remembered that there was such an alchemist in the imperial palace. Could it be that he was the one who concocted this pill?
Sure enough, he wasn’t simple.
Could this medicine have an antidote? Could he refine a medicine that could restore her memories?
When she arrived at the Alchemy Pavilion in the evening, she found that the owner of the store, Lan Yun, was not there. However, it just so happened that she didn’t know if Lan Yun had any martial arts. However, she felt that this Lan Yun had a martial arts and a very high one at that. Yun Ruo walked into the Pill Pavilion and discovered a large pill furnace inside.
There was a small palace maid by the side of the pill furnace. However, the maid seemed to have fallen asleep to look after the fire in the furnace. However, if Huo Yunhao looked at her, he would be able to hold on for a very long time. This little palace maid was simply too dead asleep. Earlier, she did not know that there was someone inside. Because this young palace maid was very inconspicuous, the sound of her footsteps were rather heavy as she walked in.
But the little palace maid didn’t get up at all.
Feeling that something was wrong, Yun Ruo Lu walked over and nudged the little palace maid. Seeing that the little palace maid’s eyes were still closed, she reached out her hand to check her breath and found that it was very calm. She was just sleeping.
However, this little palace maid was sleeping too deeply, she must have been drugged or something like that.
Yun Ruo Lu continued to walk inside and discovered an inner hall. Inside the inner hall were many small medicine jars made of porcelain.
Yun Ruo Lu carelessly opened the pots and took a look. Each jar was filled with powders made from various medicinal ingredients. Yun Ruo Lu also saw a few small porcelain bottles. She picked one up and saw that there was actually such a pill inside.
It was just that he did not know what these pills were made of. There was a type of pill that was stored in a jade bottle and even had a light blue glow to it. It looked very pretty.
Just as Yun Ruo had gotten her hands on it, she could feel movement in the courtyard. Now that Yun Ruo Lu had recovered her martial arts, she naturally knew what was going on in the courtyard. Furthermore, it was already very quiet tonight.
Yun Ruo Lu ran to the room where the pill furnace was, then used her lightness technique to flip open the window and escape.
She didn’t dare to stay there for too long, but kept running. She felt that she couldn’t let that person in, or else she would be discovered.
Furthermore, she felt that Lan Yun was extremely dangerous.
When she returned to the Fine Jade Cloud Palace, she took out the small jade bottles in her hand. She had left in such a hurry that she had forgotten to put them back.
What exactly is this blue thing? Yun Ruo sniffed it but didn’t feel like it had any smell.
She decided to keep it carefully. She had read in the medical book that there were only things made with extremely precious medicinal herbs that needed to be kept in jade vases. This rare medicinal herb had its own spiritual nature, and jade also had its own spiritual nature. Therefore, these things had to be received in jade bottles.
Yun Ruo thought to herself, ‘This should be a very rare pill, right?’ In other words, the materials needed to make a pill were extremely rare.
“The Empress has eaten.” Yu’er served some tonic and then whispered to Yun Ruo, “Esteemed Empress, I don’t know why, but the imperial kitchens have sent someone to add something to your food today. This servant is only in charge of drinking tea. Yu’er said.
Yun Ruo Lu nodded. She looked at the dishes on the table. If she added this medicine, it definitely wouldn’t be under the shape of powder, but rather with the appearance of water.
There was a minced eggplant here. It was one of Yun Ruo Lu’s favorite dishes. She noticed that there was something wrong with the oil on the eggplant. It seemed to be incompatible with water. Yun Ruo Lu looked carefully, and felt that the dish was drugged.
“Yu’er, come and accompany me for a meal.” Yun Ruo said leisurely.
“Yu’er doesn’t dare.” Yu’er was a little nervous. She had stayed in the palace for nine years, but had never accompanied anyone like the Empress to dinner.
“Sit down.” Yun Ruo Lu suddenly ordered.
Yu’er could only obediently sit down. After that, Yun Ruo Lu gave her minced meat eggplant. This way, when the dishes were served, it would be suspicious if there was a single dish that hadn’t been eaten.
After that, Yun Ruo Lu gave some other dishes to Yu’er, causing her to burp from being too full.
“Haha.” Yun Ruo Lu suddenly laughed.
Yu’er suddenly felt extremely embarrassed. This was the first time she had eaten such a sumptuous meal. She thought to herself that the Empress had treated her pretty well.
“Alright, Yu’er, let them take off the dishes.” Yun Ruo Lu felt that this Yu’er was quite interesting. She couldn’t help but feel her head hurt. Scenes from the Plum Blossom Tree flashed past her mind. She seemed to have eaten with someone before. Then, the servant girl choked as well. A person walked in from behind, dressed in white with a dragon painted on his clothes. She was certain that this wasn’t Yuchi Xuan. This was because the feeling in his memory was completely different, but who was this?
She just couldn’t recall, especially that person’s appearance. Her head suddenly hurt. The memory hurt. She couldn’t stand the pain and fainted.
She heard the rain in her ear.
“If you come back here again, you will lose your memories. Whether you can recover your memories will depend on yourself.” She could no longer remember who said that to her. She could only recall that when she woke up, she saw a caring face, Yuchi Xuan.
Yuchi Xuan gently grabbed her hand and placed it on his. She subconsciously retracted her hand.
“Love my wife?” Yuchi Xuan was somewhat disappointed as he looked at her retracted hand.
“Your majesty.” Yun Ruo Lu said coldly. She was shocked by her tone. Why was her tone to Yuchi Xuan so cold?
“My beloved concubine, are you thinking of something from the past?” Yuchi Xuan seemed very nervous as he asked Yun Ruo.
Yun Ruo shook her head and used her usual tone of voice to speak to Yuchi Xuan, “No, chenqie feels pain in her head.” Every time you think about the past, you get a headache. ” Yun Ruo Lu shook her head.
“My beloved concubine, since you can’t remember, then don’t think about it.” Yuchi Xuan said to Yun Ruo You.
“Your majesty, chenqie wants to rest by herself for a while.” Yun Ruo said leisurely.
“Alright.” Although Yuchi Xuan couldn’t bear to leave, he still went out.
