Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 351: Concubine Shu, the old witch

Qingyue Palace.

"I won't let her die easily. I will take her to Nanzhao and let her be fed with poisonous insects. I will make her wish she were dead but unable to live..."

Seeing that the whites of Concubine Shu's eyes had turned blood red, Concubine Lin was frightened.

She had experienced how cruel this woman was.

That night, Concubine Shu appeared quietly in her Qingyue Palace with a masked man. Without saying a word, she knocked Aunt Yan unconscious and brought the man in front of her.

The masked man twisted Aunt Yan's neck in front of her, and Aunt Yan died without even a groan.

It was this Concubine Shu who took out a small bottle from her body and poured the powder in the bottle onto Aunt Yan who was thrown on the ground.

Concubine Lin watched in horror as Aunt Yan turned from a living person into a puddle of water.

Then she looked in horror at Concubine Shu, who had transformed herself into the appearance of Aunt Yan in front of her.

The skillful technique looked as if it had been practiced thousands of times.

It was at that time that Concubine Lin was completely frightened.

Before they could ask more questions, she revealed all the people who had secretly gone to the deposed Queen Heyuan and had transactions with her.

At that time, her goal was the same as that of Concubine Shu, which was to kill Concubine Ye.

Who would have thought that a situation that was clearly impossible for Concubine Ye to escape was easily exposed by the biased emperor.

How could she not hate this?

Aunt Yan died, but Concubine Shu, the princess of Nanzhao Kingdom, moved into her Qingyue Palace. She was extremely scared.

If this matter is discovered, it will be a crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of the clan.

She is a person who cherishes her life very much and she is afraid of death.

If she wanted to live, she had no choice but to obey the man in front of her.

She also heard about the emperor being poisoned that day, and she was afraid that the Concubine Shu in front of her would also use the poison on her.

"Find an opportunity to meet Hong Yue in the next two days and ask her to give this stuff to Concubine Ye to drink."

Concubine Shu laughed sinisterly twice and took out a small paper bag from her sleeve.

She handed the small paper bag to Concubine Lin, whose hands were shaking badly.

"Don't be afraid, Jing'er, if you succeed, as long as I'm here, there will still be a place for you in this harem."

Concubine Shu was also afraid that Concubine Lin would be frightened, so she comforted her.

"Thank you, Lady Toffee."

Concubine Lin lowered her head so that Concubine Shu could not see the expression on her face.

"Tsarina Shu..."

Concubine Shu murmured these three words, but she did not object to Concubine Lin calling her that.

When Jing'er sits in that position, she should be the empress dowager.

"Tai Fei, it may not be that easy to get Hong Yue to poison. Hong Yue is not trusted by Concubine Ye, and usually she cannot be close to her."

Concubine Shu knew the whole story very well. Couldn't she find a more suitable person?

"If it really doesn't work, find a way for me to meet that Hongyue."

Disguising herself as Hongyue and waiting for an opportunity to poison Concubine Ye was the best solution that Concubine Shu could think of.

"That Hongyue usually doesn't leave Ningyuxuan, so I have to plan carefully."

Concubine Lin pondered and thought about various possible solutions.

Concubine Shu knew the abilities of Concubine Lin.

The reason why she was chosen in the first place was not only because she had a similar figure to Aunt Yan who was beside Concubine Lin, but there was a more important reason.

This Concubine Lin is an ambitious and smart person, and she also has the ability to compete with Concubine Ye.

When she arrived at Qingyue Palace, she discovered the most fatal weakness of Concubine Ye, which was her fear of death.

Concubine Lin was a person who was extremely afraid of death. Even if she was involved with the Nanzhao Kingdom and her entire clan would be executed in the future, she still cherished her life very much.

Concubine Shu likes to deal with people who are afraid of death. So, whatever she says is the truth, and Concubine Lin dare not refute it.

Looking at Concubine Lin who kept her head down and remained silent for a while, Concubine Shu stood up in a very good mood.

"If your Majesty has nothing else to do, I will leave first."

Concubine Shu bowed to Concubine Lin in a proper manner, opened the door of the inner hall and walked out.

The senior palace maid who was waiting outside the door came in and looked worriedly at Concubine Lin who was sitting in the chair in a daze.

"Ma'am..."

She called out softly, waking up Concubine Lin who was immersed in her own thoughts.

"What time is it now?"

Concubine Lin asked.

"My lady, it's almost time for dinner."

This senior palace maid was called Caiqin. She had been following Concubine Lin since she entered the palace and was very loyal to her.

"It's almost evening..."

Concubine Lin breathed a sigh of relief. She changed her trembling and frightened look in front of Concubine Shu just now, stood up and walked a few steps in the room.

"Ma'am..."

Caiqin wanted to say something but stopped herself.

She always felt that Aunt Yan was not as respectful to the Empress as before, and she didn't know if the Empress had noticed it.

"I know what you want to say. Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Concubine Lin said gently.

Aunt Yan died, and from now on the only person she could trust was Caiqin.

What Concubine Lin was thinking just now was that she couldn't be controlled by this Concubine Shu for the rest of her life. Every day she stayed in the Qingyue Palace, she would be in more danger.

She didn't believe that Prince Qing would come back and take that position.

She also didn't want to die with this Concubine Shu. In her heart, this Concubine Shu was already a dead person.

She had to find a way to make this Concubine Shu expose herself, so that it would no longer be her business.

Concubine Shu didn't know it at this time. She thought that Concubine Lin was already under her control.

But Concubine Lin was already trying to find a way to kill her.

The palace maid who went to the imperial kitchen to get the food has returned, and Caiqin is busy putting the food on the table.

"My lady, you haven't eaten much these days..."

Her meaning was very clear, she just wanted Concubine Lin to eat more.

In the past, it was Aunt Yan’s job to serve Concubine Lin at meals, but could Concubine Shu be the one to serve others?

She just fooled around every now and then.

"Caiqin, do you know of a drug that can kill people instantly upon contact?"

Concubine Lin lowered her voice and asked Caiqin.

Caiqin was shocked. Who is the queen trying to deal with?

"I have never heard of it..."

Seeing Caiqin's frightened look, Concubine Lin knew that it was useless to ask.

Now she even put aside Ye Jieyu, whom she hated the most. The most important thing now was to kill Shu Taifei, who was a great threat to her.

Fortunately, the masked man has not appeared since that night. He should have left the palace.

Now Concubine Shu is the only one...

And she had a helper, Shi Cairen, how could she forget about her.

Since Concubine Shu dragged her into this, she might as well drag someone down with her.

Besides, Mr. Shi is also a very smart person.

She just didn't believe that the two of them couldn't kill the old witch Concubine Shu.

"Caiqin, go to Qiuwu Pavilion tomorrow morning and ask Shi Cairen to come to Qingyue Palace."
