The Regent's Koi Princess

Imperial Capital

Royal Palace

Ever since Jia Deshui received the news from the Regent, he has been carefully keeping an eye on the maid named Yu Yanran.

But the little girl has always been quiet and there is no sign of anything unusual.

The more this happened, the more Jia Deshui dared not take it lightly, because the prince once said that the more peaceful it seemed, the more danger was approaching.

After all, this matter concerns the health of the emperor and cannot be taken lightly.

So Jia Deshui re-checked the eunuchs, maids, and nannies in the emperor's bedroom.

Even all the cooks and servants in the imperial kitchen were examined once.

However, so many days have passed and the maid has remained idle. Jia Deshui is extremely anxious. This girl is like a cancer. If she is not eradicated, the palace will have no peace and the emperor's health will be in danger at any time.

Just when Jia Deshui was racking his brains to no avail and was flying around like a headless fly.

Just yesterday, the Regent sent someone to give him some advice, asking him to play the long game and catch the big fish.

Since waiting for the rabbit to come to her doesn't work, let's lure her into a trap. First, let her be a turtle in the jar, and then let her close the door and beat the dog.

On this day, near noon, Jia Deshui deliberately sent all the cooks and servants in the imperial kitchen who were preparing lunch for the emperor to the laundry room to help.

For a moment, everything was quiet and the entire imperial kitchen was empty, with only two guards with high martial arts skills hiding in the dark to guard the place.

The sun shone obliquely outside the empty imperial kitchen, and the golden light and shadow intertwined to form a complex web. Yu Yanran took small steps, and as nimbly as a deer in the woods, she bypassed several corners, and every step was extremely cautious.

Her bright eyes scanned the surroundings quickly, and her brows revealed a barely perceptible tension and determination.

The imperial kitchen was silent, with only the occasional whispers of palace servants and the chirping of birds in the distance as background music.

Yu Yanran tiptoed towards a half-open window and peeked inside through the gap. There was no one inside, only the copper pot next to the fire was still warm and emitting white smoke, and a faint aroma.

She took a deep breath and smelled it so fragrant. Then, she secretly planned her next move in her mind.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Today, she must put poison in the emperor's food no matter what.

Yesterday, the censor sent someone to secretly reprimand her.

If she doesn't act now, she and her family will all die.

Her cousin, the second wife of the prime minister, managed to send her to the palace with the help of the relationship with the censor. She thought that from then on she would be able to rise to the top and become a phoenix.

Who would have thought…

Before entering the palace, the Lord Censor promised her that as long as she could complete the task, she would be the Empress after Master Zhao's mutiny was successful in the future.

And her family members will be given high positions and titles and will follow her to soar to the top of their lives.

but.

If she didn't follow the instructions of the Lord Censor, her family and herself would not have a good ending.

A few days ago, she followed the instructions of the Censor and put something to enhance the emperor's mood in his tea. Unexpectedly, the emperor really favored her.

But, it was just that one time.

Because from then on, the emperor never summoned her to serve him in the palace again.

She had wanted to accompany the emperor a few more times, hoping that by some luck she could become pregnant with the emperor's dragon seed and give birth to a prince.

After all, a mother's status is determined by her son. Although she is just a maid now, as long as she has a prince by her side, even if she cannot become the queen, she can at least become a royal concubine.

That way she wouldn't have to worry about the Censor's revenge anymore.

It was a pity that the emperor only favored her that one time, and after that, she couldn't even see him.

There have always been many slaves in the palace who flatter the powerful and look down on the weak.

On the night when she was favored by the emperor, the eunuchs, maids, and nannies all called her "Noble Lady" when they saw her, and some even called her "Noble Concubine" in private.

Maybe everyone thought that she would definitely become a phoenix and even if she didn't get the title of imperial concubine, she would at least be given the title of concubine!

who knew...

The emperor's favor is like a flash in the pan.

Those eunuchs, maids, and nannies immediately turned hostile when they saw that the emperor would no longer summon her to the palace to serve him.

Nowadays, anyone who breathes can curse her.

Those opportunistic dogs no longer smiled at her. At the very least, they insulted her, and at the worst, they slapped her in the face.

She finally woke up and stopped having those unrealistic dreams.

The palace is truly a place where people are eaten without leaving any bones. Besides, it is impossible for the emperor to have only one woman by his side. There are three thousand beauties in the harem. Who can guarantee that they can rise to the top and be the best?

Although she could not be the emperor's favorite, as a concubine with a prince, she would have a support for the rest of her life.

However, her dream ended before it even began.

The emperor abandoned her and she became a slave who was beaten and scolded at will.

Why did the emperor no longer favor her? Why did she have to endure all this? Why did even those lowly servants turn their backs on her?

She hated the emperor's ruthlessness and the unfairness of fate.

When she thought of everything she had suffered recently, she wished she could kill the little emperor immediately.

So, she decided to listen to the advice of the Censor Zhao Zhoucheng and poison the emperor.

After waiting in the corner for a while and finding that still no one came, Yu Yanran quickly walked into the imperial kitchen.

Looking at the steaming soup pot on the stove, Yu Yanran took a rag, opened the lid and put it aside.

Then she looked towards the door and found that it was still quiet and no one came, so she became bolder.

He quickly took out a small paper bag from his arms and opened it with trembling hands.

He held the packet of poison in both hands and poured it into the soup pot while shaking it.

At this moment, Yu Yanran's heart beat faster and she was sweating.

She bit her red lips lightly and trembled all over.

Just when she was about to finish, a strong hand suddenly appeared and grabbed her wrist.

Another big hand quickly took the paper bag from her hand and raised it high.

Accompanied by an angry shout: "You lowly slave, you actually dared to murder the emperor, you are really bold, who ordered you to come here quickly."

As soon as the man finished speaking, six armored guards walked into the imperial kitchen.

Immediately afterwards, Jia Deshui walked in slowly with square steps.

Seeing Yu Yanran being captured, Jia Deshui yelled in a shrill voice: "Damn bitch, you are so brave! You dared to put drugs in the emperor's soup.

Someone, go and call the imperial physician and have him check carefully to see what kind of poison is in this package.

Now that she has been caught red-handed, if she still dares to protect her accomplices, she will be severely punished by us. We will see how long she can keep her mouth shut."
