Soul swap tyrant always wants to have a baby

The two were chatting casually when they heard Nie Yueming's voice, saying that the imperial concubine was coming.

"You go back first. I'll teach you how to put on makeup tomorrow."

"What is makeup?"

"It means dressing yourself up as another person so that others can't tell who you are."

"Isn't this a disguise?"

"Almost, almost. Go ahead and I'll meet this imperial concubine."

"That's my concubine, please pay attention to this."

"Alright, alright, let's go."

When Zhongli Yuan went out, Yan Ruju hit him hard on the shoulder.

Looking back, Yan Ruju also turned her head and raised her lips at him provocatively.

Zhongli Yuan was a little dazed. The imperial concubine definitely didn't do it on purpose.

Yan Ruju didn't come empty-handed this time, she brought a plate of snacks and a pot of tea.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty live long and happily."

"No need to be so polite, my dear."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Why are you here at this time, my dear?"

"Your Majesty, I just made a plate of pastries myself. I thought you must be tired from handling official duties, so it would be good to have some snacks to rest."

"My beloved concubine is thoughtful."

Yan Ruju naturally opened the food box and brought the snacks in the box to the imperial desk where Leng Qingyi was sitting, and poured him a cup of tea.

Leng Qingyi picked up a piece of dessert, smelled it, raised his eyebrows, and handed the dessert to Yan Ruju's mouth in front of Yan Ruju's expectant eyes.

"My beloved concubine has worked hard. I will eat the first bite first."

"Your Majesty, I am terrified. How dare I eat before Your Majesty does?"

Leng Qing's eyes flashed with teasing again, and he curled his lips slightly.

Just this small action made Yan Ruju completely confused.

"That's fine. There's no need to be so formal in private. I'll give it to you and you can take it."

Yan Ruju was so bewildered that she ate the dessert from Leng Qingyi's hand.

She didn't dare take even a small bite and ask the emperor to hold it for her. The dessert was not big but very delicate, and it wouldn't seem rude to eat it in one bite.

Leng Qing watched Yan Ruju swallow the dessert and then picked up the cup of tea next to her and took a sip.

"Well, the tea that the imperial concubine brewed is good, you should try it too."

As he spoke, he poured a cup for Yan Ruju as well. Yan Ruju was flattered and took the cup of tea that Leng Qingyi handed to her.

Just moments after drinking the tea, Yan Ruju suddenly felt severe abdominal pain and fell to the ground.

Leng Qingyi narrowed his eyes calmly and called for help.

"Nie Yueming, it's reported that the Imperial Physician and the Imperial Concubine have been poisoned."

Then he slowly walked to the chaise longue, raised the corner of his lips and looked at Yan Ruju who was rolling on the ground in pain.

Nie Yueming acted very quickly after hearing the order. The Qinzheng Hall was very close to the Imperial Medical Bureau. In just a quarter of an hour, two imperial doctors followed Nie Yueming in.

What they saw was their emperor leaning very indecently on the chaise longue, while the chaise longue was lying on the ground with a pale face, black lips and sweat all over her head, showing the pain she was suffering at the moment.

"I am here to see you, Your Majesty."

"Don't be so polite at this time. Look at what happened to the imperial concubine. She just took a bite of the snack she made and it became like this. I was almost scared to death. Fortunately, I didn't eat it."

Yan Ruju, lying on the ground, was already numb from the pain. She was still heartbroken by the emperor's indifferent attitude just now.

Now she was a little more sober. It turned out that the emperor was so cold to her because he thought she had poisoned him.

"Your Majesty, I did not poison you, and I don't know what happened."

Hearing Yan Ruju's weak voice, Leng Qingyi waved his hand nonchalantly, signaling the imperial physician to check quickly.

Seeing the emperor's attitude, the two imperial doctors did not dare to ask him to carry the person to the couch, so they could only kneel on the ground to take Yan Ruju's pulse.

The two took turns taking Yan Ruju's pulse. One of the doctors stood up and walked to Leng Qingyi to answer.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine has been poisoned by the Heart-Breaking Powder. While not fatal, it is extremely venomous. The poisoned person will suffer from this heart-breaking pain for an hour every day until they take the antidote or die in agony."

"Why don't you guys untie them quickly? Are you waiting for the imperial concubine to die in agony?"

"Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want to cure it, it's just that there's a very rare ingredient in the antidote that the Imperial Hospital doesn't have."

"What medicine?"

"Silvermoon Grass only appears in the Runan area."

"Nie Yueming went out of the palace to ask the Duke of Zhenguo if he had any."

"Yes, slave, go right away."

"My beloved, please bear with it for a while. Maybe your father has this medicine in his hand."

Yan Ruju felt mixed emotions when she heard the obvious sarcasm in Leng Qingyi's words.

Now she hopes that her father has the medicine that can quickly cure her poison, but she also doesn't want her father to have it. If her father really has this rare herb, then her father will be highly suspected of wanting to poison the emperor.

Who poisoned her, or where did she get poisoned?

Thinking of this, hope rose in Yan Ruju's heart again.

She remembered that Concubine Yi bumped into her when she came in just now.

Yes, it must have been done by Concubine Yi. This vicious woman actually used such a cruel trick on her.

Yan Ruju endured the pain in her body and struggled to stand up, holding on to the imperial desk.

Seeing Yan Ruju getting up with difficulty, Leng Qingyi had no intention of helping her. Leng Qingyi also gave an order that no one could enter without her permission. Therefore, there was not even a palace maid or eunuch serving in this huge hall. The two imperial doctors waiting beside her were both men and did not dare to touch the emperor's woman.

Yan Ruju stood up and struggled to fall to Leng Qing's feet, then knelt on the ground and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Your Majesty, it was Concubine Yi. It must have been Concubine Yi who poisoned me. When I came in just now, Concubine Yi bumped into me."

Leng Qingyi almost laughed out loud when she heard this. If she wasn't the so-called Concubine Yi, she would have almost believed it.

But he still had to remain indifferent and said, "Really? Someone call Concubine Yi over to me."

Zhongli Yuan arrived before Nie Yueming, who had just left the palace, returned.

Looking at Zhongli Yuan who walked in with an anxious look on his face, it was obvious that he already knew what had happened on the way.

"How is the concubine?"

Leng Qingyi knew that Zhongli Yuan's anxious look was not fake, but Yan Ruju didn't think so.

Seeing Zhongli Yuan's expression, she thought that he was just pretending to care about her in front of the emperor.

"Stop pretending, you vicious woman! You were the one who poisoned me, and now you're pretending you know nothing?"

Zhongli Yuan, who had just come in and hadn't asked what was going on, was completely stunned when his good concubine pointed at her nose and called her a vicious woman.

"Your Majesty, please help me. Concubine Yi has ulterior motives and is plotting to murder the concubines. Your Majesty should banish her to the cold palace."

Zhongli Yuan also reacted after hearing this, but there was still a hint of expectation in his heart.

"Your Highness, please provide evidence when you speak. I see that you are not in good condition right now. I do not blame you. We will discuss this matter again when you are sober. For now, Your Highness, please take care of yourself."

"Your Majesty, please see. Concubine Yi is definitely trying to take advantage of this period of time when I am poisoned to dispose of the evidence."
