Bringing love across time and space
Chapter 85 The Ruan Family's Death
The afternoon sun shines on the glazed tiles of the Queen's Palace, shining with golden light.
Emperor Yuan Jin walked slowly into the quiet palace. The aroma of lunch filled the air, complementing the queen's smile.
Today's queen has a smile as beautiful as a flower, and seems to have forgotten the vicissitudes of life.
She hadn't been so happy in a long time, because Emperor Yuan Jin had not appeared in her bedroom for a long time.
At this moment, she even felt a little nervous, as if she had to learn again how to get along with this emperor.
However, the resentment in her heart could not grow after all, because since ancient times, emperors have had three thousand beauties in their harems. How could she blame Emperor Yuan Jin?
If she were to choose again, she might still be confused. In her company with Emperor Yuan Jin, there were laughter and tears, sweet moments and heart-breaking moments.
What she experienced was just a plot in the story for others, but for her, it was a difficult journey.
The road to becoming a queen is not an easy one, especially without a prince by your side, it is extremely difficult to sit firmly on the throne of queen.
However, the queen knew that all this was her own choice.
No matter how much bitterness and pain lies ahead, she must bear it alone.
Because she understood that this was the path she had chosen, and she would continue to move forward with determination even if she had to kneel.
Emperor Yuan Jin quietly observed the Queen's expression, from her initial smile to her later contemplation.
He knew very well that the Queen was recalling the little things between them, and those past events, whether happy or sad, unfolded in her mind like a picture scroll.
He silently accompanied the queen, feeling her inner fluctuations, and blamed himself for neglecting the queen these days.
After having lunch with Lin Qingya, Gu Yuchen bathed in the warm sunshine and enjoyed the rare quiet time.
Gu Yuchen was immersed in a beautiful dream of hugging and kissing Lin Qingya affectionately.
The scene is poetic and picturesque, so beautiful that it makes people intoxicated.
However, this peaceful happiness was broken by a sudden cry.
It's like a stone is thrown into a tranquil lake, causing ripples.
Gu Yuchen slowly opened his eyes. The hazy dream and reality were intertwined, making it difficult for him to distinguish them for a moment.
He tried to close his eyes again, wanting to return to that beautiful dream, but the clear crying sound was so real.
It pierced through his dream like a sharp arrow, pulling him mercilessly back to reality.
He ordered his servants in a distracted manner:
"Someone, go and see what happened over there." The servant quickly took the order and left, returning to report after a while.
It turned out that the Ruan family went to the mountains to look for food at noon because they had no food.
They unexpectedly discovered a large area of wild vegetables and happily picked them and cooked them.
However, less than half an hour after they finished eating, they began to foam at the mouth and died.
Now, the only ones left in the Ruan family are Ruan Yangjiang's concubine and his illegitimate son.
The mother and son have a low status in the Ruan family and are usually responsible for serving other members of the family.
Because of food shortage today, Nguyen Yangjiang did not let them eat, so they survived.
Lin Qingya was taking a nap but was woken up by the crying.
When she heard that he died of poison, she looked at Gu Yuchen.
Gu Yuchen understood Lin Qingya's meaning, and he dismissed the servants.
He said in a deep voice: "I haven't made a move yet, who knows who did it."
Gu Yuchen had long been dissatisfied with the Ruan family, but had not yet found the right opportunity to deal with them.
He secretly arranged secret guards to keep an eye on the movements of the Ruan family.
However, before he could figure out how to deal with them, they were all poisoned to death.
This made Gu Yuchen sigh, this was really retribution.
Lin Qingya was full of curiosity about the cause of death of the Ruan family. She took Gu Yuchen to the place where the Ruan family rested.
As soon as she arrived at the scene, Lin Qingya wanted to check the food in their pot first.
However, before she saw the food in the pot, she saw a pile of wild vegetables on the ground.
She walked closer and was stunned.
This is not a wild vegetable, it is clearly wolfsbane, a poisonous weed commonly found in Northeast China in the 21st century.
Anyone living in rural Northeast China in the 21st century knows that this grass is extremely poisonous.
Lin Qingya has lived with her grandmother in her hometown in the northeastern countryside since she can remember, so she knows this kind of grass.
Lin Qingya was picked up by her grandmother, and her grandmother had never lied to her about this matter.
Later, when Lin Qingya was five years old, her grandmother passed away and she was sent to an orphanage.
The quilt that Lin Qingya was wrapped in when she was picked up by her grandmother is still in Lin Qingya’s home in the 21st century.
Lin Qingya remembered that this kind of grass only began to appear in the 7th century AD, during the Tang Dynasty.
However, she couldn't tell what dynasty this Great Yan Kingdom was.
She traveled through time that day just to read a book of unofficial history, and was forced to travel through time before she could even read the contents.
Now it seems that people here know nothing about wolfsbane.
It should be that this kind of grass is not very common in this era.
But the land here, including the mountains, is completely bare without any green. Why can wolfsbane grow here?
Now that Lin Qingya knows that the Ruan family was not killed by Gu Yuchen, she no longer dwells on these things!
The Third Prince and Lin Jingyuan also heard the news and rushed to check. Lin Qingya told the Third Prince and Lin Jingyuan the truth, and the Third Prince was speechless!
Lin Jingyuan didn't feel anything, just a few people died!
He has long since become indifferent to the disputes in the world! He feels that his fellow apprentices are the best! There is no intrigue and deception!
The other families also came at this time. The four brothers of An Xinyang looked at Ruan Yangjiang's family and found it hard to believe that they had died like this!
An Xinda said to his elder brother An Xinyang, "Brother, what kind of poison is this that can kill an entire family in one go?"
An Xinyang pointed at the uncooked wolfsbane on the ground and said to An Xinda, "This should be it. I didn't expect that I would sacrifice my life just to save a little money."
Chao Wei also echoed, "In the past, Ruan Yangjiang was so arrogant in the court, and few ministers in the court took him seriously."
Li Da also expressed his opinion, "Everyone has his own destiny. He has been extremely stingy since he was exiled. I don't know if he can spend the money he left behind in his grave."
Everyone was talking at once, not giving Ruan Yangjiang any respect at all, and saying nothing good about him!
But these are indeed true!
Lin Qingya knew how the Ruan family died, so she immediately pulled Gu Yuchen back and told him the truth about the cause of death of the Ruan family.
After hearing this, Gu Yuchen couldn't help but sigh: "God is helping me."
He has been worrying about how to get rid of the Ruan family since last night.
Because they might write a letter to the emperor and reveal the secret that he will turn into a werewolf.
However, from last night till today, Ruan Yangjiang did not write a letter.
It is possible that the emperor did not receive the last letter, or even if he received it, he did not take any action against Gu Yuchen.
Ruan Yangjiang also understood that if he couldn't see Gu Yuchen's real death, he would be better off not acting rashly.
Now, the cause of death of the Ruan family has become clear, and Gu Yuchen finally feels relieved.
