Revenge of Rebirth: Intrigue

Chapter 541 Oleander

Mu Huaxian smiled slightly and said, "Ma'am, please think about it. If Mu Qiuli dared to go to King Jing for protection, he must have the handle of Prince Jing. If King Jing's concubine is really her, it will be even more obvious." This trick is big enough to threaten King Jing to accept her as a concubine. If this trick can be found out and made public, it will definitely have a great impact on Prince Jing's reputation."

A gleam of light flashed in Mo Qin's eyes. This way, Tang Jing's reputation in the eyes of the courtiers and the common people would be greatly reduced.

She nodded and said: "Okay, I will try, but since the matter was handled by the emperor in private, I will not say it easily."

"You don't have to be too forceful, your empress just needs to see how the emperor looks on." Mu Huaxian said lightly.

The uglier his face, the more angry the emperor was.

The next morning, in the Cunfeng Hall.

Gu Wanshuang half leaned against the bed with a pale face, drank a bowl of extremely bitter medicine, but didn't even frown.

For her, it seemed that these sufferings were nothing.After two miscarriages in a row, she has almost cried out her tears now.

The maid brought the candied fruit over, but she only waved her hand to make people leave.

At this time, a court lady outside came in to announce: "Jieyu, the imperial concubine is here."

Gu Wanshuang blinked her eyes, and before she could speak, the imperial concubine walked in by herself.

She glanced at Gu Wanshuang, and said to the servants in the room: "Go out, I have something to say to Gu Jieyu."

The people around the imperial concubine all backed away, and the maids at Gu Wanshuang's place looked at her in embarrassment.

She raised her eyes to look at the noble concubine, her eyes were still dull, and she said in a low voice: "Back off."

The maids backed out.

The noble concubine smiled, her eyes were full of worry, she walked towards the bed, and asked softly, "Is your body better?"

"Thank you for your concern, ma'am, it's much better." Gu Wanshuang replied weakly.

The noble concubine nodded, sat on the edge of the bed, raised her hand to hold Gu Wanshuang's hand, sighed, and said, "Don't be too sad, you are still young, there will always be children again."

Gu Wanshuang pulled the corners of her mouth forcefully, with a bitter smile: "I just hope so."

The noble concubine showed hesitation, and after a while she lowered her voice and asked, "Do you know the truth about your miscarriage this time?"

Gu Wanshuang raised her eyes to look at her, and said slowly: "Because my concubine is too weak and her fetal position is unstable..."

The imperial concubine tightened her grip on Gu Wanshuang's hand, her face was serious: "Do you really think so?"

There was a gleam of luster in Gu Wanshuang's dull eyes: "Does the empress know something? Could it be that the concubine's miscarriage is the same as last time, isn't it an accident?!"

The noble concubine put on a troubled look, nodded after a long time and said: "I was a little skeptical after hearing what the imperial doctor said yesterday, so I ordered someone to take all the leftovers you ate yesterday for inspection, and the result..."

"What's the result?!" Gu Wanshuang became excited all of a sudden, holding the concubine's hand behind her with both hands, her face full of eagerness.

The imperial concubine looked at her with a sincere expression: "As a result, oleander was found in the pastry you ate!"

"Oleander?" Gu Wanshuang seemed a little confused, frowning and asked suspiciously: "What's the matter with oleander?"

The imperial concubine smiled coldly in her heart, but her face was still sincere: "The tree, bark, leaves, and flowers of oleander are highly poisonous. If a pregnant woman takes it, it will cause a miscarriage. Who gave you those snacks?" The Imperial Dining Room should not be so sloppy."

Gu Wanshuang's mind was blank and her fingers tightened.
