Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 382: Everyone can see that this is a trap

Cining Palace.

The Queen Mother's attitude of insisting that Huang Ye drink that bowl of tea attracted the attention of everyone present.

This situation reminded them of how the deposed queen framed Concubine Ye last year.

At that time, didn’t the deposed queen also take out snacks for them to eat?

This situation is very similar to that time.

"Your Highness, I know that Ning Yuxuan doesn't drink this kind of tea now."

Concubine Du stood up to explain for Huang Ye.

"Oh."

The Queen Mother really doesn't know about this.

"So what do they drink at Ning Yuxuan?"

"Your Highness, we at Ningyuxuan drink tea leaves."

Huang Ye quickly took over the conversation.

"Humph, if you despise the tea in the Cining Palace, just say so..."

Xu Rou snorted and said rudely.

The bitch Ye Jieyu has to drink this bowl of tea today no matter what.

Now everything is arranged, we are just waiting for her.

Huang Ye unnoticeably took out a pill from her purse and put it into her mouth.

"Since the Empress Dowager and Concubine Xu repeatedly want me to drink this bowl of tea..."

Huang Ye stared at the empress dowager without blinking, and those dark eyes made the empress dowager feel uneasy.

"Then I will do as you wish, so that you won't accuse me of looking down on the Cining Palace."

Huang Ye picked up the tea bowl in front of him and brought it to his mouth.

"Ye Jieyu can't do that."

"Ye Jieyu."

Concubine Du and Concubine Yi spoke at the same time.

They are the elders in the palace, how could they not see the schemes in the palace?

"Don't worry, the Queen Mother is just concerned about my health."

Huang Ye picked up the tea bowl and took a big sip, then put a piece of dessert into his mouth.

"Mm, delicious, this snack is really good, Miss Gao, you should try it too..."

She handed the small bamboo basket of snacks to Lady Gao.

Gao Meiren was startled.

"This is what the Queen Mother gave to Concubine Ye. I dare not eat it."

Lady Gao waved her hands repeatedly.

Although she didn't know why the Queen Mother insisted that Concubine Ye drink tea and eat snacks.

But she was sure that there was something wrong with the tea and snacks here.

She is not as silly as Ye Jieyu who dares to put anything in her mouth.

"That's a shame to waste such a delicious snack... Hongdou, why do I feel a little dizzy?"

"My lady...what's wrong with you?"

Hongdou, who was standing behind her, was startled and quickly bent down to ask.

"I'm just so sleepy...I want to sleep."

Huang Ye pressed his temples in a pretentious manner.

"My lady, you were fine just now, weren't you? How come you feel sleepy after just a sip of tea?"

Anko asked confused.

The Queen Mother and other people who knew the situation were also confused.

Isn't it said that this drug will only take effect after one stick of incense has been applied?

Maybe Ye Jieyu drank too much, and the drug took effect prematurely.

But since she drank it, today's plan was not in vain.

"If Concubine Ye is really sleepy, please rest for a while in the guest room of Cining Palace. The rest of you can go home."

The Queen Mother stood up and started to chase people away.

"Ye Jieyu, come with me, I'll support you..."

Concubine Du walked up to Huang Ye and wanted to take her away from the Cining Palace.

Concubine Yi approached Huang Ye calmly.

She is the biological mother of the eldest prince. Although her position is not high, the empress dowager does not dare to punish her casually.

She wanted to be with Concubine Du, and even if she had to fight, she would get Concubine Ye out.

It's too dangerous to let her stay in the Cining Palace.

Huang Ye winked at Concubine Yi calmly, and pinched Concubine Du's hand that was supporting her.

She quickly whispered a few words into Concubine Du's ear.

"I'm so sleepy that I can't walk anymore. Sister Du, you guys go first..."

She looked very sleepy.

It seems that the only thing she lacks now is a bed.

If there had been a bed, she would have fallen asleep immediately.

"Then... you rest here for a while, we'll leave first."

No matter how unwilling Concubine Du was, there was nothing she could do. Concubine Ye's current condition was indeed not suitable for walking outside.

Shi Yaoyao and Xu Rou also left in the end. This was something they had discussed in advance.

The Queen Mother also wanted the two of them to avoid suspicion and make the matter seem more real.

"Then Concubine Ye's outburst was too quick, others wouldn't be able to notice it, right?"

Xu Rou, walking on the road, asked Shi Yaoyao worriedly.

Even if she was slow to react, she knew that something seemed to have gone wrong.

Shi Yaoyao cursed her as an idiot in her heart.

The Queen Mother’s frame-up is so obvious, anyone can see it, okay?

Just now she was trying desperately to wink at the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother still acted according to the plan regardless.

What could she do with that idiot?

She only hoped now that she would not be implicated in this matter in the end, and that would be a blessing for her.

After everyone had left, Huang Ye couldn't bear it any longer and fell asleep on the table.

The handkerchief in her hand accidentally fell into the bowl of tea.

Then, Hongdou, who had a sharp eye, put it into her sleeve.

"My queen, wake up...My queen..."

There was a cry in Hongdou's voice. She shook Huangye hard, trying to wake her up.

"Is this how you treat your wife?"

The Queen Mother was very angry when she saw Hongdou shaking Huangye like that.

"Come here, take this ignorant servant away and keep him under my watch."

At this time, two sturdy maids came in following her shout, and held Hongdou, one on the left and one on the right.

"Let her out after her master wakes up. This servant who doesn't know his dignity deserves to be beaten to death."

The Queen Mother waved her hand, looking extremely impatient.

"Queen Mother... please let me take care of my wife..."

Anko begged.

"Take it down."

The Queen Mother looked at the two maids and shouted.

Hongdou couldn't break free from the two maids' grip and was dragged away crying.

"Ye Jieyu... one day you will fall into my hands..."

The Queen Mother slowly walked to Huang Ye, who was sleeping soundly on the table, and said with gritted teeth.

"What a pity! Such a beautiful girl will soon become a eunuch's plaything..."

She shook her head with some regret, but the pride in her eyes could not be concealed no matter what.

"Tell me, if the emperor knew that you shamelessly mixed up with a eunuch, would he sentence you to death?"

The Queen Mother smacked her lips.

"Maybe...even your family will be implicated by you, and by then..."

"When that happens, I won't speak well of them. Maybe...sentencing their entire family to exile would be a light punishment..."

The more the Queen Mother thought about it, the more proud she became. She seemed to have already seen the end of Concubine Ye being despised by everyone.

"Yingchun, how are the arrangements in the guest room going?"

As if she remembered something, the empress dowager stopped hesitating and turned to ask Yingchun who was standing behind her.

"Empress Dowager, this..."

Nanny Yingchun hesitated for a moment.

"Today's incident was too obvious. This Ye Jieyu's maid..."

She thought about trying now to see if she could persuade the Queen Mother to give up this plan.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a trap.

"That maidservant of Concubine Ye was shouting in front of so many people, saying that Concubine Ye was sleepy because she drank the tea from the Cining Palace..."

"Did you have someone put away that tea bowl?"

The Queen Mother asked Nanny Yingchun.
