Chapter 47: Concubine Dan fell down by poison (2/2)

“My Emperor, you are too hasty.” Ruan Jiujiu didn’t look anxious, but very calm.

“Dare you! It is you who says that those treasures are highly toxic. But the concubine is fine after playing a melody, and you still dare to quibble in front of me!” He was in rage because of Ruan Jiujiu.

But she replied seriously, “Sorry, my Emperor, you have misremembered. Those words came from Ruan Qingqing, not me.”

“How dare you!” His face suddenly flushed. It was unacceptable that a mighty king like him would be enraged by a nameless maid, who was also the servant of Beiming Xuan!

He cast a sinister glance at Beiming Xuan, who was also standing there with a cold face. He believed Beiming Xuan would accept these gifts, no matter they were toxic or not! And he also thought that Beiming Xuan would not be indifferent to his maid!

“Throw her into the Heaven Prison and behead her tomorrow!”

The Emperor commanded fiercely while secretly observing Beiming Xuan’s response. But he was disappointed, as Beming Xuan even didn’t raise his eyebrows!

Disappointed! Disenchanted! He could not help but feel frustrated finding that, and he felt a bit comforted seeing these treasures.

No matter what, I would like to see how can you reject those treasures again!

The guards followed the order, and dragged Ruan Jiujiu toward the prison. She didn’t scream, nor ask for help.

She knew it clear that there was no hope to ask Beiming Xuan for help.

The only way was to depend on herself.

She secretly took out a small silver needle in her hand. The guards pushed her forward, and accidentally passed in front of the concubine.

Actually, it was her idea to enrage the Emperor so that she could have chance to get close to the concubine and poison her.

She would create a opportunity from impossibility for her!

The concubine was still taking care her of her soft finger. She was one of concubines in the harem, who must take good care of their beautiful facades so that they could have chance to win the Emperor’s favor, and even a littler cut was not acceptable!

She and her maid were focusing on the small cut on her finger, and completely ignored Ruan Jiujiu, who had set her as the target.

“What?” The maid was about to apply some medicine for her master when she found the wound turned to black.

Really? She blinked and only found it becoming darker!

“My Empress, what...” The concubine fell down without her words finished.

“My Empress!” The maid screamed, shocked everyone there, and Ruan Jiujiu was surprised too.

I have done nothing, Okey?

Why you fall down by yourself first?

She looked around, and doubted that maybe someone had done that before her!

Someone shouted, “Concubine Dan is poisoned!” The crowd was shocked, and they firstly looked at Ruan Jiuiu, who was controlled by guards, then turned to the Emperor.

The Emperor became pale, not because of worrying about his concubine, but being shocked.

Really? I have never applied any poison on those treasures!

Without waiting for his reply, Beiming Xuan coldly asked, “My elder brother, what’s the matter?”

Do I look like a know-all?

Although it was a simple question, but the implied meaning of Beiming Xuan was clear -- why send him poisonous treasures?

Once Beiming Xuan asked, the crowd all looked at the Emperor Tianlong in disbelief.

The Emperor Tianlong suddenly felt that he was so wronged!
