All the concubines in the harem are time travelers
Chapter 9: Poisoned Wine
Li'er got up from the ground, pulled Fu'an's sleeve and cried for mercy for her master.
"Eunuch Fu'an, our mistress is not a witch and she did not bewitch the emperor."
Fuan raised his rough hand mercilessly and slapped her to the ground.
"You stupid girl, if you dare to do that again, I'll take you away with me."
He cursed and walked out with a swagger.
A large group of people entered the main hall of the Cining Palace.
Bu Ji was thrown in the middle of the hall. She couldn't get up, and the cloth on her body and the marble floor were all slippery.
"Who cleaned the floor?"
She complained secretly and stood up with difficulty.
In front of her were three steps inlaid with jade, and a bead curtain made of vertical pearls blocked her view.
Sitting on the high seat was a graceful and elegant woman, her beautiful face showed no signs of aging, although she was only in her forties and had lived in the palace for a long time. Her hair was combed up high like a cloud, with layers of kingfisher feathers and a few pigeon blood red rubies dotted on it, making it dazzling.
"Mrs. Bu, do you think the floor of my palace is too slippery?"
Mixed with the sound of Mosuo Buddhist strings, the clear voice rings.
No wonder Cui Lihua embraced this big tree. Looking at the Queen Mother's energetic appearance, she can live at least another 40 years.
Bu Ji felt a little regretful now. If he had known earlier, he would not have stayed in bed pretending to be sick and not paid his respects to the Empress Dowager. But it was too late for him to curry favor with her now.
But give it a try.
"Yes."
She raised her head and remained calm.
"Bu Ji, you are so bold!"
"How can you make irresponsible remarks about the affairs of the Queen Mother's palace?"
Cui Lihua stood on the left side of the Empress Dowager, pointing her index finger at her with the hand holding the handkerchief, and was extremely angry.
It's been half a day. She was angry in the morning and she's still not calm down. I'm afraid it's because her liver fire is too strong.
Bu Ji cleared his throat and continued.
"I think the ground is slippery because I am concerned about your safety, Your Majesty."
The Queen Mother stopped twisting the Buddhist beads and squinted at her, listening to her continue speaking.
"The Empress Dowager has lived in the Cining Palace for a long time. If she accidentally slipped that day, all the eunuchs and maids in the palace would not be able to bear the consequences."
"People who come here occasionally don't care about the risks of living here for a long time."
After Bu Ji finished speaking, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Cui Lihua.
You little brat, how dare you accuse me of talking nonsense.
Cui Lihua felt deflated and snorted. She had no words to argue with her and quickly spoke to the Queen Mother.
"I am also concerned about the Queen Mother, but I was not able to think of her at the moment. Please forgive me, Queen Mother."
The empress dowager looked at Cui Lihua with a smile on her face, but when she withdrew her gaze it suddenly turned cold, and when she looked at the person under the pearl curtain again there was inexplicably a hint of murderous intent in her.
"Noble Lady Bu has a very powerful tongue, she is worthy of being the daughter of the Imperial Censor."
Bu Ji frowned slightly, lowered his eyes, and suddenly knelt on the ground, no longer speaking.
When she mentioned her mother's home, she always felt worried.
It doesn't matter if she suffers or is punished, but her family must not be implicated.
The Queen Mother didn't seem to be sincerely praising her. Could it be that she really believed Cui Lihua's words and thought she was a witch?
There are no evil women in this world, only evil people.
The Queen Mother gave a look, and Xiu Yu stepped forward to help her up.
"Let me take a good look at you and find out what it is about you that makes the emperor obsessed with you."
When Bu Ji looked up again, the empress dowager was already in front of her.
In the past, she only knew Cui Lihua as the most beautiful woman in the palace. But after seeing the Queen Mother, she felt that she was the real stunning beauty.
She put together a bunch of flattering words and opened her mouth, but was interrupted by the Queen Mother.
"He has average talent and a clever mouth. I think the emperor has made a mistake."
Although the Queen Mother said this, her eyes were still fixed on her body and face.
Her body is covered with gauze, her face is like a peach blossom, she is naturally charming and full of witty remarks.
If such a woman stays in the palace, there will be endless troubles.
Bu Ji pursed his lips, and all the flattering words in his mind disappeared.
Wouldn't it be too despicable for her to continue to try to please someone so coldly? After all, she is a noble person with a monthly salary of RMB 3,500. At the age of 18, she is said to have mediocre qualifications.
She couldn't stand it anyway.
The Queen Mother looked at the top of her head, smiled, and turned sideways to turn the Buddhist beads in her hand.
A eunuch who had been given instructions long ago came out from the corner, holding a wooden tray with a wine glass on it in both hands, with his head lowered and extremely respectful.
The Queen Mother raised her eyelids and glanced at the wine on the plate, her voice revealing a chill.
"Since you have made a mistake, if you drink this cup of poisoned wine, I will have you buried with honor."
"No one will mention what happened between the emperor and you today."
It doesn’t matter whether the noble lady Bu in front of him is a witch or not. What matters is the emperor’s reputation. If the witch dies, the rumors will stop.
This palace is not short of a noble person.
Upon hearing the voice, the eunuch held a wooden tray and handed the wine glass to Bu Ji.
"Mr. Bu, please."
Bu Ji looked at the glass of wine and his eyes went dark.
Poison wine, there really is such a thing.
She had been curious while watching the drama, but there was no need for God to let her travel through time and space to experience it for herself.
"I can't drink."
Nothing really happened between her and Li Ji. She just attempted to have sex in broad daylight but failed. Why should she drink poisoned wine?
"If you disobey my order, your entire family will be executed. You should think it through carefully."
Bu Ji crawled to the Queen Mother on his knees and asked with tears in his eyes.
"Empress Dowager, according to the laws of Nanyue, can attempted murder be treated the same as murder?"
"Are you threatening me?"
"The law does not apply to the royal family. It seems you don't know that."
It's really the brain of the ancients, a wooden brain,
She wasn't threatening at all; it was a metaphor, a metaphor.
Bu Ji felt as if there was a wild wolf roaring on the cliff in his heart, but he did not show it on his face.
If she told the Queen Mother that she had never slept with him, would it bring trouble to her mother's family...
After all, the palace rules clearly state that if the emperor chooses a concubine and the concubine sleeps with him, and if the concubine is still a virgin, it must be the concubine's fault. They are really trying to protect the emperor's face everywhere.
The more Bu Ji thought about it, the angrier she became. Suddenly, a big hand clamped her jaw and forced her to open her mouth.
It was Aunt Xiuyu. The Queen Mother actually instructed her confidant to feed her poison wine personally.
“Help…Help.”
She whimpered and made unclear sounds, shaking her head continuously, and the poisoned wine spilled all over the floor.
"Come here, get another cup of poisoned wine."
The Queen Mother gave the order, and no one dared to disobey her order.
This woman must die in this hall today.
Bu Ji had her jaw pinched, and someone else grabbed her hair from behind and pressed her head down with force.
"no, do not want!"
The cold white porcelain cup was pressed against her lips, and the wine in the cup was about to pour into her mouth.
Bu Ji's tongue could already feel the strong smell of alcohol, making it numb and astringent.
"stop!"
A silver flying fan flew past her eyes like a sharp sword and knocked the wine glass out of Xiu Yu's hand.
After Bu Ji was freed, he immediately knelt before the empress dowager, rolled up his gauze sleeves, revealing half of his forearms, and hurriedly confessed.
"I did not bewitch the emperor. I still have the chastity seal in my hand. Queen Mother, please take a look."
She was scared to death, she almost died.
