Poison Hair

The night was getting darker, the concubine had received the news early, and the maids and eunuchs were all busy.

The concubine changed into lighter clothes, and rarely asked the palace maid to put makeup on herself.

After tonight, she will usher in a new beginning, so naturally she will have to dress up in disguise.

The palace maid Ru Hua stood aside with a tray, while Ru Mo asked the concubine which headdress she should wear.

She looked sideways and tapped her fingers on the red gold agate tassel inside.

"That's it."

Ru Mo was ordered to gently put on the headdress of Jade Concubine Zhi.

The jade concubine looked through the bronze mirror in front of her. The tassels hung down from her ears, making her skin color look like snow. There was a flower patch on her forehead, her eyes were painted red, and her lips were crimson. Her originally childish face showed a bit of charm.

She smiled with satisfaction.

As the congratulatory songs continued, the concubine walked out the door, shyly glanced at Emperor Jingyong, and bowed.

"I respectfully welcome your Majesty."

Emperor Jingyong stepped forward, stretched out his hand to help her up, and joked: "Is your concubine feeling relieved?"

Jade Concubine's face turned red, she let Emperor Jingyong hold her hand, and said angrily: "Your Majesty..."

When Emperor Jingyong saw this, he was in a good mood and strode in with his concubine in hand.

The palace maids and eunuchs lowered their heads knowingly.

After entering, Emperor Jingyong let go of his concubine's hand and glanced inadvertently at the copper stove with silver clouds and dragon patterns in the corner.

"The incense my concubine used today tastes good."

Jade Concubine's body stiffened as soon as she sat down. She lowered her head to cover the panic in her eyes and pretended to be calm, "It's fine if Your Majesty likes it."

Emperor Jingyong smiled and said nothing. Instead, he looked at Fusheng aside and motioned for him to have dinner.

Dinner had been prepared in the imperial dining room. When Emperor Jingyong was visiting the Jade Palace, Fusheng sent someone to deliver the message.

Fusheng received the order and hurried out. Not long after, the eunuchs from the imperial dining room came in carrying dishes.

Emperor Jingyong always followed the rules of dinner for other concubines, and did not need concubines to wait on him. He asked Fu Sheng to pick up two chopsticks for each dish. After eating until he was seven-quarters full, he did not continue.

If other concubines saw Emperor Jing Yong put down his chopsticks, they would follow suit, regardless of whether they were full or not.

But Jade Concubine did the opposite. When she dined with Emperor Jingyong for the first time, she watched eagerly as the eunuchs took away their meals, clearly showing that they were not full.

Emperor Jingyong saw that the concubine was so willful, so he stopped the eunuchs. From then on, if the two of them had a meal together, they would wait until the concubine had eaten enough before leaving.

Emperor Jingyong's food was much better than that of Jade Concubine. Although she was scheming in her heart, she would not let down the delicious food.

She picked out the dishes that were not included in her portion. She was very full after eating, and then she put down her chopsticks with satisfaction.

Rumo, who was standing by, quickly handed over tea for digestion.

The jade concubine took it and took a few sips, then looked at Emperor Jingyong and saw him looking at her with a half-smile, his cheeks slightly red.

"It made His Majesty laugh."

While the concubine was talking, the little eunuchs quickly put away the dishes and chopsticks. Emperor Jingyong noticed the inexplicable feeling of boredom in his chest, and a faint light flashed in his eyes.

He waved his hand, "Everyone, go down!"

Fusheng and other eunuchs and maids responded one after another, and after a while, only Emperor Jingyong and Yu were left in the room.

Emperor Jingyong then looked at the concubine Jade, "I remember that my beloved concubine is only sixteen this year, and she is growing taller. How can she laugh at her?"

Jade Concubine estimated the time in her mind and lowered her head, "Yes, I am only sixteen this year..."

Many girls in the capital are sixteen years old, waiting to be married in their boudoir, with relatives as companions, and having hairpins in a lively atmosphere.

But when she was sixteen, she was living in a palace that ate people without spitting out their bones. On the day she grew hairpin, she had no relatives around her.

She suppressed the bitterness in her heart, raised her head, and looked at Emperor Jingyong with a smile.

Her almond-shaped eyes are still crescent, but they don't have the usual innocence.

"Your Majesty, I have entered the palace fourteenth time, but in the past two years, I have only seen your Majesty very few times, and I am even still a virgin."

"Two years is not long, but it is enough for me to see clearly His Majesty's heart.

I can't imagine that in the next three, five, ten or even twenty years, I will have no children to rely on, and I will have no choice but to live in the cold palace with my sisters in the harem who are also lonely.

I lived a life where I had very little money every month and was not able to support myself, so I had to work hard and work as a prisoner in the market."

She was only sixteen years old, and she didn't want to live a hard life where she could see the end at a glance, nor was she willing to live it.

What Concubine Jade said was true and sincere, but Emperor Jingyong was not moved at all.

Is the concubine pitiful?

Since Emperor Jingyong took control of the government and the public, the draft has been different from the past. Not to mention that there are certain requirements for family background, and even if he is on the list, as long as he is not willing to enter the palace, he will not force it.

If you offer money to bribe the eunuch, you will naturally lose the election.

This method is well known to everyone in the palace.

But Jade Concubine did not do this. No matter what she thought at first, it is undeniable that this is the path she chose.

Moreover, the Jade Concubine has been a concubine since she entered the palace. Some women who entered the palace at the same time as her or even earlier still agree to it to this day.

In comparison, the concubine's life in the palace was already very good.

It's a pity that people's hearts are always greedy.

She enjoyed the glory and wealth brought by the concubine position, but she still cared about the emperor's favor in her heart. She even wanted to have a son and a half daughters and reach the top position that even the concubines in the harem wanted to reach...

And now, because this path did not achieve the results she expected, she looked pitiful and blamed others for being let down.

Emperor Jingyong sneered and looked at the concubine calmly in his eyes, as if he was talking about something insignificant.

"So you are so bold as to poison me?"

Jade Concubine did not expect that Emperor Jingyong would say it so straightforwardly. She was stunned for a while, and looked at Emperor Jingyong's face that was gradually turning pale, and her smile became even wider.

"So what?"

Emperor Jingyong felt a pain in his chest. He covered his chest and frowned.

After all, Jade Concubine is young and her mind is not delicate enough.

Nowadays, her mind is filled with the image of Emperor Jingyong's poisonous hair. She seems to think that the overall situation has been decided, and she doesn't speak hastily or slowly.

"Your Majesty, I am different from you. I am still young and will have a lot of time in the future. I have to think about myself."

"Don't be afraid, this poison is not torturous, just take a nap..."

Emperor Jingyong seemed to be filled with anger, his face turned red abnormally, "Aren't you afraid that the matter will be exposed, and you will be cut into pieces, and the nine tribes will be implicated!"

The Jade Concubine was amused by Emperor Jingyong's pretended calmness. She looked at Emperor Jingyong sarcastically, leaned over slightly, and whispered in his ear.

"Your Majesty, you don't know, right? This poison was given to me by Concubine De..."

"Tonight, His Majesty suffered a sudden heart attack. No medicine or stone can cure it. The fourth prince was ordered to ascend the throne on the same day."

"When I heard that His Majesty had passed away, I was so distraught that I passed out and passed out. When I woke up, I was so hurt that I asked myself to leave the palace and go to the Ancestral Temple to stay with the ancient Buddha with a green lantern."

The concubine knew that the position would never belong to her, so she took the next step... to leave the palace, change her appearance, and live a free and happy life.

"Your Majesty, are you satisfied with this?"

Emperor Jingyong became visibly excited. When he opened his mouth, a mouthful of blood spurted out. The blood dyed his clothes red, and his head was covered with cold sweat.

"Vicious woman!, you damn poisonous woman!"

Emperor Jingyong seemed to realize his situation at this time and shouted loudly:

"Come, come quickly! Arrest this poisonous woman!"
