Chapter 55: She Must be Executed for Lese-majeste! (2/2)

Seriously?

His words stunned everyone here.

Normally, that reward was so handsome that they hadn’t seen it for years, and the Emperor wanted to reward more?

Even Ruan Jiujiu was shocked.

“Since you can detoxify the Wusi poison, I want to reward you with all the three treasures that I planned to give my brother before, so that you can do me a favor to investigate the poison on them.”

Once he finished talking, Beiming Xuan squinted his eyes, and Ruan Jiujiu also realized the Emperor’s intention.

The former part of his reward was a response to Beiming Xuan, because he had no choice, but the latter part was a long-time bet.

Those treasures were poisonous, so nobody would accept them, even if someone accept, he dared not use them.

But Ruan Jiujiu could detoxify the poison, and the last sentence of the Emperor was deadly.

Since you have taken my reward, you must do me this favor.

The issue of the Wusi poison was still her matter, so she couldn’t refuse.

But those three treasures were too precious to reward an orphan.

After all, those treasures were intended to give Lord Ming, and Ruan Jiujiu was inconsequential compared to Lord Ming.

“Thank you so much, my Emperor.” This time Ruan Jiujiu was speechless.

Soon, the gold, pearl, jewels and the three treasures were carried by servants here, dazzling her eyes.

She was about to say something, but Beiming Xuan suddenly commanded, “Bring those back to my mansion.”

No one would disagree him, even Ruan Jiujiu, as the master of those treasures, could not have a chance to make a sound. Then some servants came and took them away.

Ruan Jiujiu was unhappy.

She glared at Beiming Xuan, but he still sat there and leisurely drank his tea.

“My brother, since the concubine is safe now, I need to go back home with her now. As for the Wusi poison, I’ll wait for your message.”

The Emperor really wanted to rebut him after hearing that, but he couldn’t.

It was Beiming Xuan who said Ruan Jiujiu came here for detoxification at the beginning, and the Emperor dared not admit the truth that he kidnapped Ruan Jiujiu here. Now the concubine was safe, he naturally had no excuse to stop him going back home.

What’s more, Beiming Xuan just regarded him as the culprit behind the Wusi poison issue.

Ruan Jiujiu didn’t want to stay here either, because the reason why she escaped from the Ming Masion was to go to Ruan Mansion for revenge.

Noticing Beiming Xuan standing up, she immediately followed up, then looked back at Ruan Qingqing.

Ruan Qingqing was stunned at first, then tried to avoid her gaze, but suddenly, she seemed to come up with something in mind, and turned to avoid her eyes.

Her behavior surprised Ruan Jiujiu too, what do you want to do?

Before figuring out why, she heard a loud thump as she was turning back.

“Mother!”

“My dear sis?”

“My dear!”

Ruan Jiujiu looked back and found Concubine Dan falling down on the ground with her eyes closing tightly, and her face turning pale.

Does she pass out?

Or her delicate body cannot stand the effect of my antidote which is too much for her?

While Ruan Jiujiu was still trying to figure out the cause, she saw a white shadow flashing in front of her face. It turned out to be Ruan Qingqing, who was kneeling in front of the Emperor.

You indeed have brewed a plot!

Ruan Jiujiu clenched her teeth.

But Ruan Qingqing spoke directly.

“My Emperor, Ruan Jiujiu has deceived you, which is unacceptable and she must be executed.”

Must be executed... She was really a bad ass to ask for her death directly.

“Any evidence?” At this moment, the Emperor suddenly forgot his beloved concubine and looked at Ruan Qingqing.

As long as she could prove Ruan Jiujiu was guilty, then her master Beiming Xuan was naturally guilty too.

But he could not hear the secret sound from Beiming Xuan now.

He told Ruan Jiujiu coldly, “Deal with your own trouble by yourself.”

Ruan Jiujiu was in rage, you cold blood son of bitch!

Share the happiness with me, but leave me along once I am in trouble.

Don’t you feel ashamed?

Although the Emperor looked very solemn, he was joyful in mind, and stared at Ruan Qingqing with expectation.

She didn’t let him down. She used a loud tone to explain it with clear fizz as if she had drilled it for hundred times in her mind.

“She has deceived you twice! First, she declaimed that there was Wusi poison on the treasures on the city in the day; second, she deceived you that she knew how to detoxify the poison! She knew it was not the Wusi poison, but still pretended to be detoxifying, and also accepted your reward as if she had contributed a lot! She is a completely avaricious liar, and she must be executed!”

The word “executed” showed a sense of coldness, without any concealment. It looked like that she was trying to vent her anger and resentment.

Is this for my scolding just now?

Ruan Jiujiu could not help but laugh out scornfully.

Her laugh attracted others’ attention. Because her laugh sounded so natural, and she seemed like listening to a joke instead of accusations.

Was she still OK?
