C6 He Turned the Tables on Lu Youyi

How could Prime Minister Faang not understand what Yin Jiuqin meant? After replying, he followed Wang Fu out.

Yin Jiuqin lay on the bed and closed her eyes to think. It seemed like Rong Luo was a little too impatient. Coincidentally, without Yin Jiuqin's help, Rong Luo came to her door.

Yin Jiuqin had been staying in the Imperial Reading Room for the past few days, and the matters in the Imperial Court had been handed over to Ji Heng. This made Rong Luo very angry, but when he thought that Yin Jiuqin would soon die in Huang Quan, Rong Luo felt a little better.

"Are you sure that the Emperor is beyond cure?" Rong Luo looked at the palace maid who had her head lowered as if she was guilty.

The palace maid hurriedly nodded, "Yes, this servant has been serving in front of the Emperor these few days. The Emperor's face is pale, even Imperial Physician Fang said that the Emperor can only rely on medicine to hang."

"Very good, next, this general will give you another task. If you complete it well, this general will release your parents. If you cannot complete it, you should know what this general will do." Rong Luo narrowed his eyes. The light in his eyes showed no intention of hiding it.

Gong Nu immediately knelt down. "I beg you to release my parents. No matter what you ask me to do, I will do it."

Rong Luo did not speak but directly took out a small bag from his waist and threw it in front of the palace maid, "You should know what to do."

The palace maid swallowed her saliva as she looked at the thing in front of her. Then, she picked it up with trembling hands and held it in her hands.

After returning, the palace maid had been pacing around the door of the Imperial Kitchen uneasily. Killing a monarch was a serious crime. If she was discovered, she would have to kill her entire family. But if she did not do as Rong Luo said, then her parents' lives would be lost.

"Little Lian, what are you doing here?" Qingshui walked over from afar with the medicine Prime Minister Faang prescribed.

Little Lian, whose name was pointed at, turned around in a panic and ran away. Qingshui looked in Little Lian's direction and wanted to go over and see what was wrong with Little Lian. However, when she remembered that she still needed to boil the medicine for Yin Jiuqin, she hurried into the Imperial Kitchen.

In the Imperial Study, Yin Jiuqin fumbled with the jade pendant in her hand. It was found by Wang Fu in the corner of the bed this morning. This jade pendant looked very unfamiliar and was not a good item. However, the powder on it attracted Yin Jiuqin's attention.

When Yin Jiuqin heard the door open, she immediately put away the jade pendant and pretended to be asleep.

Qingshui placed the medicine on the side and softly called, "Emperor, you should take your medicine."

Yin Jiuqin did not answer and Qingshui wanted to call out again. Coincidentally Wang Fu came in and Wang Fu walked over to take a look at Yin Jiuqin and then looked at Qingshui, "The Emperor just fell asleep, you can go down first."

"Yes." Qingshui replied and left.

Yin Jiuqin slowly opened her eyes and sat up to signal Wang Fu to bring the medicine over. Wang Fu brought the medicine in front of Yin Jiuqin. Yin Jiuqin took out a silver needle from the side and placed it in the bowl. The silver needle did not have any reaction.

Yin Jiuqin and Wang Fu looked at each other and frowned slightly. Since Rong Luo already knew about her condition, he should not do anything but this medicine was indeed not a problem.

"Go and call Imperial Physician Fang over. Tell him that Zhen will not be able to endure the pain after taking the medicine." Yin Jiuqin took back the silver needles and instructed.

Wang Fu put down the bowl of medicine and prepared to leave. Yin Jiuqin called Wang Fu over again, "Wait a moment. By the way, invite Prince Regent over. Remember, it is best to inadvertently let that person know about this matter. It cannot be too obvious."

"Yes." Wang Fu agreed and left in a hurry.

Yin Jiuqin suddenly heard someone outside the door and immediately lied down to cough violently. The person outside the door pushed open the door and rushed towards Yin Jiuqin, "Emperor, what's wrong?"

"Zhen, Cough cough, Zhen is fine." Yin Jiuqin said these words with some difficulty. Then Yin Jiuqin suddenly coughed out blood. This time, Little Lian was so scared that she did not know what to do.

Yin Jiuqin wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief and looked at Little Lian with a faint gaze. After a while, she opened her mouth and said, "Zhen seems to have never seen you before. Where are you on duty?"

"Reporting to the Emperor, this servant is from the Imperial Kitchen. It is just that Eunuch Wang said that there is not enough manpower in the Imperial Reading Room these two days so he transferred this servant and the others over." Little Lian knelt on the ground with her head lowered, not daring to look at Yin Jiuqin at all.

Yin Jiuqin fumbled with the jade pendant in her hand and pretended to be casual, "The last time was also you who gave Zhen medicine?"

Xiao Lian was afraid that Yin Jiuqin would know that she was the one who poisoned the poison in the medicine, so she quickly shook her head, "It's not this servant. This servant has just been transferred here. Today is the first time this servant entered the Imperial Reading Room."

"Oh? Does that mean that this jade pendant is not yours?" Yin Jiuqin took the jade pendant out of the blanket and looked at it carefully.

Only then did Xiao Lian dare to raise her head and look at the so-called jade pendant in Yin Jiuqin's hand. When her eyes touched the jade pendant, Xiao Lian immediately lowered her head to avoid it. That jade pendant was indeed hers. When did she lose the jade pendant? She did not even notice it at all.

Yin Jiuqin looked at Little Lian's slightly trembling body and confirmed what she was thinking. It was just that she still needed to use her to inform Rong Luo. Otherwise, the crime of killing a monarch would be enough for her to die a few times.

"Emperor, Imperial Physician Fang is here." Wang Fu led Prime Minister Faang in.

Prime Minister Faang walked forward and took Yin Jiuqin's pulse. Prime Minister Faang frowned and looked troubled. He took out a silver needle and inserted it into Yin Jiuqin's acupuncture points. Only then did Yin Jiuqin look better.

"Ahem, Imperial Physician Fang, if you have something to say, just say it." Yin Jiuqin said.

Prime Minister Faang looked at the bowl of medicine beside him, "I wonder how much medicine did the Emperor drink just now?"

"It looks like two or three mouthfuls. After drinking it, Zhen feels very uncomfortable." Yin Jiuqin said as she pretended to feel very uncomfortable.

Prime Minister Faang immediately picked up the bowl of medicine and sniffed, "Emperor, please allow this lowly subject to examine the dregs."

"Imperial Physician Fang suspects that someone has tampered with the Emperor's medicine?" Wang Fu pretended to be surprised.

Prime Minister Faang glanced at Xiao Lian who was kneeling by the side and did not dare to raise her head, "This lowly subject is hard to say. We will only know after the examination."

"Wang Fu, bring Imperial Physician Fang over." Yin Jiuqin weakly waved her hand.

Wang Fu responded and brought Prime Minister Faang out. Yin Jiuqin looked at Little Lian who was kneeling on the ground and did not say anything. She closed her eyes and waited for Ji Heng to come.

When Ji Heng came, Yin Jiuqin was already asleep. Ji Heng looked at Xiao Lian who was kneeling on the ground and was on the verge of collapse. He roughly knew what was going on. "You can go down first."

"Yes." Xiao Lian got up with some difficulty and limped out.

Ji Heng looked at Yin Jiuqin's sleeping face and unconsciously wanted to touch Yin Jiuqin's face.

Just as Ji Heng's hand was about to touch Yin Jiuqin's face, Yin Jiuqin suddenly opened her eyes. There was a trace of ridicule in her eyes. Ji Heng froze on the spot and actually forgot to take back his hand.
