Chapter 52: A hole which you have no choice but to jump into (2/2)
Actually, the guards also wondered how he got there without their awareness.
“Jiujiu had forgotten an item before she came here. I come to the Palace to give her that.”
Beiming Xuan replied gently, but it sounded differently by Ruan Jiujiu and Emperor Tianlong.
Come to the Palace? Forget something? He even brings that to her specially?
His meaning seemed to be that her coming to the Palace for work was fair enough, but she left something behind, so he had to come here to bring it for her.
It sounded very reasonable in that way, but the fact was not.
She was kidnapped here, and Beiming Xuan couldn’t have known that. Besides, the whole process of detoxification was a secret, so it was impossible for the “forget something” issue.
Both Emperor Tianlong and Ruan Jiujiu had no idea about what he said.
What are you thinking?
“Ruan Jiujiu, you silly girl, when can you stop being forgetful?” Beiming Xuan threw something to her.
Because all guards were kneeling down, there was no one holding her, and she caught that thing by hand.
An injector!
This one was used for injection of the antidote in Yun Palace. She took out two injectors at that time, and threw this one away after running out of it. But Mu Rong regarded it as a treasure, and kept it since that time.
Ruan Jiujiu tried hard to make a smile, “My lord, I am so sorry to bother you about bringing that to me. I’m so moved.”
She really meant it. Otherwise, she would be killed.
He snorted and turned to the Emperor with his hands behind his back, “Brother, since I have brought that thing to her, let her finish her job now.”
What? Emperor Tianlong’s expression changed.
“Let’s go, my dear brother.” Without waiting for the Emperor, Beiming Xuan walked toward him.
Because Beiming Xuan looked so relaxing and calm, Emperor Tianlong had no choice but to suppress his anger.
Watching them walking up to the hall, Ruan Jiujiu raised her lips slightly.
This man was interesting!
Back to the hall again, she found the whole atmosphere here had changed.
The Emperor had suppressed his anger successfully, “Ruan Jiujiu, it is your turn now.”
Ruan Jiujiu frowned sightly.
After all, the concubine looked very scary now, and her face was covered with poisonous lines as if she herself was tied by black silk.
She winked to Beiming Xuan secretly, but he just sat beside and drank tea with ease.
He ignored her wink completely.
Shit... Ruan Jiujiu clenched her teeth.
Just now, she innocently believed that he meant to save her, but it turned out that he had dug a hole for her again.
It was because of him that she used Wusi poison as a shield to protect herself, and only he knew that.
But now he came here to continue this farce, professing that she came here to detoxify for the concubine.
Are you fucking kidding me?
Can anyone tell me what kind of poison has struck her? Even if I figure out what kind of poison it is, I only know how to use acupuncture to expel the poison instead of making the antidote, Okey?
Looking down the injector in her hand, she blinked, and recalled the stretcher she had seen just now...
Suddenly, the eunuch reported outside, “Empress, the sixth and seventh princes, and Infanta Lianhua arrive!”
Ruan Jiujiu frowned again when seeing a bunch of people coming in.
It was lively here, but also too troublesome.
Sure enough, once the six prince came in, he directly rushed to Ruan Jiujiu without any solute to the Emperor, “Ruan Jiujiiu, how is my mother?”
Do you have eyes? Her face darkened.
Then here was Empress Xiao.
“Jiuju, how is Dan?” She screamed exaggeratedly at the sight of Concubine Dan, “My God, how could she be like that!”
She was frightened and took two steps back, and Beiming Ting came forward to hold her. She covered her lips with a handkerchief, worried, “Son, come to see your mother Dan, isn’t she...”
“Don’t worry, mother. Father has invited Jiujiu to save her. She will be fine.” Beiming Ting comforted her , and cast a glance at Ruan Jiujiu.
Ruan Jiujiu clenched her teeth secretly.
Shit, you guys come to dig holes for me one by one.
She was afraid that this group of people also followed the Emperor’s instruction to come here. Otherwise, he would not allow others to witness he killed her. And Ruan Qingqing was among them too.
Ruan Qingqing glared at her once she stepped into the hall. She was meant to watch her death.
Ruan Jiujiu glanced around all their faces.
The Emperor planed to let her save Concubine Dan; after all, the concubine was his wife. But he also planed to kill her after her detoxification.
But now?
It was impossible for him to kill her now, but whether he still hoped that she could detoxify the concubine or not was hard to say.
For Beiming Yue, he hoped she could, but had no confidence in her.
As for Empress Xiao and Beiming Ting, obviously they didn’t want her to save the concubine.
And Ruan Qingqing was different, she just wanted her fail.
Compared with these two sides, Ruan Jiujiiu was so weak now.
So the best way was to pretend to be incompetent.
Ruan Jiujiu jsut took a step back, and she suddenly heard Beiming Xuan’s voice.
“Jiujiu, detoxify.”
When he spoke, everyone looked at him.
Ruan Jiujiu also looked at him, and he looked back coldly, like talking about something unimportant, “Start now.”
Start? Ruan Jiujiu cried in her mind.
She almost forgot that even if only he in this world wanted her to detoxify the concubine, she would have no choice but to follow his order!
After all, he was the guy who had dug the hole for her, so did she have any choice except jumping into it?
