Chapter 183 You Come Tell This King

"It's poisonous. Do you want to open it and take a look?"

As soon as she heard that it was "poisonous", Concubine He stopped looking at it immediately.

He didn't even look in that direction, for fear that the poison would be transmitted to her through his sight.

"Concubine Ji, what on earth are you thinking? How dare you show us this? And Your Majesty, you are a daughter of gold, is it possible for you to look at this?"

Concubine Zhao also looked at Ji Yunqing with a complicated expression.

Looking at this woman who once entered the mansion with her and was on equal terms with her.

I still remember that the other party was not as good as her at that time and always looked very shabby.

Now, she has become a high-ranking concubine, loved by the prince, valued by the princess, and has a son.

Looking back at myself, I have long since become an ordinary person.

The prince might not think of her for several months.

Her eyes dimmed. A few days ago, there was a message from outside that if she was no longer favored, her family would find a way to send a younger sister to replace her.

If only she could have a child!

The prince would come to see her often, and her family would no longer urge her.

Thinking of this, Concubine Zhao perked up and actively asked.

"Empress Ji, what on earth is in this? It can't really be poison, right?"

Ji Yunqing sighed: "It's poison. You wouldn't believe it even if I told you. If it wasn't poison, who would have gone to the trouble to bury it in the yard for me?"

Concubine Zhao felt that King Zhao was finally looking at her. She suppressed her excitement and spoke again: "Oh my God, someone actually buried poison in your yard? This is so terrible, Amitabha"

After saying this, she chanted the Buddha's name out of habit.

This is a habit she has developed since she was a little girl.

Ji Yunqing looked around and no one dared to step forward and open it.

This was not unexpected.

After all, we are not particularly stupid and know that those weird things cannot be touched.

But there was curiosity in the eyes of Concubine He and Concubine Cen. Concubine He even took a few steps closer to take a look before asking.

In comparison, they are less suspicious.

On the other hand, Concubine Gao, Concubine Qian and Concubine Zhao had no intention of getting close even before she announced that there was poison here.

Even after they walked around the yard and the rooms, they wanted to stick to the prince to talk, but they seemed to avoid this side unintentionally.

This requires a lot of attention.

Several people were trying to seduce the prince with affectionate eyes while carefully staying away from the small box. From this perspective, Prince Zhao was the closest to the box.

Ji Yunqing was speechless.

Aren’t they worried that there might be some kind of elixir that can make people die in the family?

There were too many smells, and King Zhao couldn't give birth no matter how hard he tried.

Suddenly, Ji Yunqing picked up the box as if he was picking up a lit bag of explosives.

Without saying a word, he rushed into the crowd.

The main target is the three suspects.

Of course, others who didn’t come were also suspects, but Ji Yunqing was more inclined to believe that “people who did bad things would come back to admire their own masterpieces.”

Several people present were immediately frightened out of their wits.

When King Zhao saw her like this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but his attitude remained calm.

Because he knew in his heart that the jewelry inside were just ordinary ones that had been replaced and were not poisonous at all.

Concubine He ran away quickly, shouting, "Ji Yunqing, you are crazy. This is poison, and you dare to pick it up." What if it is harmful to pregnancy? Does she still want to have a baby?

Concubine Cen and others also took a few steps back.

In times of crisis, it is impossible to conceal the truth.

Among the few people, Ji Yunqing saw that the fear in Concubine Qian's eyes could not be concealed.

Although it was only for a moment, Concubine Qian returned to her honest and taciturn state.

Ji Yunqing curled his lips and smiled, found it!

She suddenly opened the box, and the jewelry inside fell to the ground with a clatter.

"I'm lying to you. The things here have been replaced. How could I possibly be holding something poisonous? Are you afraid, but I'm not?"

Everyone was relieved.

When the court doctor came forward and carefully examined it, he confirmed: "These things are indeed not poisonous."

Concubine He jumped out immediately: "How dare you lie to me..."

She saw Prince Zhao standing beside her, and suddenly she changed her words and said, "How dare you lie to the prince!"

"I……"

Ji Yunqing sighed and looked at Concubine He with a doting look, as if she was making trouble for no reason: "Be good, or I'll take out the ones that are really poisoned, and you can pick a few to take away?"

When saying this, Ji Yunqing's eyes never left Qian Shiqi. This time she clearly saw the strange look on Qian Shiqi's face when she mentioned "poison".

"Who would want something like this?"

Concubine He curled her lips. She wanted to say something, but Ji Yunqing's disgusting look gave her goose bumps.

Could it be that Ji Yunqing has taken a fancy to her?

Suddenly, Concubine He thought of this possibility.

Impossible, Concubine He shook her head, but it was visible to the naked eye that most of the aura around her was gone in an instant.

He stammered, "You, what are you talking about?"

Ji Yunqing's eyes were confused: "What did I say?"

When she thought about it carefully, she realized that she didn't talk about any sensitive topics!

But Concubine He didn't think so. She suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said goodbye and left.

She was so busy that she couldn't even take care of King Zhao. Before leaving, Ji Yunqing saw Concubine He glaring at her fiercely.

The departure of Concubine He led to the departure of others one after another.

"Your Highness, Concubine Ji, it's getting late. I'll go back first." The prince did not leave. Concubine Cen didn't want to leave, but after receiving the hint from the maid, she chose to leave reluctantly.

Now, the only concubines left in Guihua Courtyard were Concubine Zhao, Concubine Gao and Concubine Qian.

While Ji Yunqing and Concubine Cen were saying goodbye, the three of them exchanged glances with each other.

If the prince doesn't leave, they won't leave either.

Even if you cannot sleep with the emperor, you cannot ask others to do so.

As soon as Concubine Cen left, King Zhao looked at them and asked, "Why aren't you leaving yet?"

The warning in his eyes made the three of them feel like they were on the edge of an abyss.

It was not until Ji Yunqing turned around that the terrifying atmosphere was broken.

"What's wrong with you? Concubine Zhao, why are you about to cry?"

Concubine Zhao didn't want to cry, but she really couldn't bear it. She never knew that King Zhao was so... so...

Concubine Zhao gritted her teeth and said stubbornly, "Concubine Ji, I want to stay for another quarter of an hour, no, half a quarter of an hour, no, I'm leaving now!"

She really couldn't be stubborn.

As soon as Concubine Zhao left, the other two followed suit.

In less than half an hour, all the people who had come to party had left.

Only Ji Yunqing, Prince Zhao and the servants who were serving them were left.

Ji Yunqing murmured, "Your Highness, why did they all leave? I was thinking it would be more lively with more people, so we could have dinner together later!"

"Let's not talk about the meal for now. Tell me why you said "good boy" to Concubine He."
