Soul swap tyrant always wants to have a baby

Chapter 19: Seeing the Coldness of People's Hearts

"Your Highness, you keep saying I poisoned you. Then may I ask, Your Highness, when, where, and how did I poison you?"

"Hmph, Leng Qingyi, stop pretending. Just now, when I went to the Qinzheng Palace to deliver some snacks to the Emperor, you deliberately bumped into me. You must have administered the poison at that time."

Zhongli Yuan was silent.

He didn't know how his gentle and virtuous concubine could become so unreasonable.

People don't change suddenly. It must be that the imperial concubine was poisoned and her thinking became confused.

Thinking of this, Zhongli Yuan was certain that the imperial concubine did not bump into him on purpose, otherwise she would not have said that he bumped into her on purpose.

What about the real Leng Qingyi?

Still leaning on the chaise longue, leisurely eating fruit and watching the show.

If they hadn't exchanged souls, it would be hard to explain. Judging from the way Zhongli Yuan trusted this imperial concubine, it seemed that she had done something she had never done.

After all, in Zhongli Yuan's heart, the Duke of Zhenguo is a great general who can be trusted for the country and the people, while the Leng Xiang is a despicable and treacherous villain, and the biggest thorn in his heart.

Otherwise, how could they have easily taken over the country in the end?

"Your Majesty, look, Concubine Yi has nothing to say. It must be her who poisoned me. Your Majesty, please quickly order someone to search Concubine Yi's Zhongcui Palace. There will definitely be evidence, and maybe even an antidote. Oh, and there's also the Prime Minister's Mansion. Maybe there's the medicine I need to detoxify me there."

Looking at Yan Ruju's face which was distorted, not knowing whether it was caused by pain or anger, Leng Qing turned his head to look at Zhongli Yuan who was lost in thought.

"Princess Yi, what do you have to say?"

"Your Majesty, I did not poison the Imperial Concubine. Please investigate carefully."

Leng Qingyi turned around and looked at Yan Ruju, whose hair was now disheveled.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Yi must have been exposed by me and has nothing to say. Please quickly send someone to search Zhongcui Palace."

Leng Qingyi said to the two imperial doctors who were fidgeting on the side, "No hurry, you two should check the tea and snacks that the imperial concubine brought first."

"Yes."

The imperial physicians who had done something took action immediately, for they were too afraid of hearing something they shouldn't have heard and being silenced.

In just half a cup of tea, the two imperial doctors had reached a conclusion.

The two of them looked at Yan Ruju, who was already going crazy with pain, with a strange look, and then knelt in front of Leng Qingyi.

"Your Majesty, that plate of dim sum and that pot of tea have been tampered with."

"Oh? I drank that tea too, so why am I fine?"

The two imperial doctors were shocked when they heard this.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to take your pulse."

Leng Qingyi was not stingy and extended his wrist generously.

Doctor Wen immediately stepped forward to take the patient's pulse and it took him a long time before he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, the amount Your Majesty drank was small, so it didn't cause too much damage to Your Majesty's body. Furthermore, Your Majesty is in good health, so he didn't feel any discomfort. However, it is poisonous after all. I will prescribe a digestive remedy for Your Majesty later. After two meals of this, Your Majesty will excrete the toxins and you will be fine."

"I understand. You two can go down first."

"It's Doctor Wen again, there won't be another Sister Mei in the harem, right?" Leng Qingyi thought to himself as he watched the two doctors leave.

After coming to his senses, he looked at Yan Ruju who had a dazed expression and Zhong Liyuan who had a look of disbelief.

Well, it feels comfortable. Fortunately, her soul has been changed and she is now the emperor instead of a concubine, otherwise she would not be able to stay in this palace.

"My Lady, what do you say?"

Yan Ruju seemed to be stunned by the news just now. She even ignored the pain inside and stood there in a daze.

Only after hearing Leng Qingyi's cold and intimidating voice did he come to his senses and fall to his knees.

"I beg Your Majesty to investigate. I did not poison you. If I had done it, how could I have swallowed it?"

"Humph, what's there to be afraid of if you have the antidote?"

These words were not said by Leng Qingyi but by Zhongli Yuan who was standing beside him with an extremely cold expression.

It happened that Nie Yueming, who had left the palace, came back at this time.

"Your Majesty, there is no Silver Moon Grass in the Duke's home. He has already sent people to Runan to look for the medicine."

"Really? You should also send two people to accompany the Duke of Zhenguo's men. With two more people, we can look after each other."

Upon hearing this, Yan Ruju's face turned pale, and her face, which had just turned a little red due to excitement, turned completely pale.

"Noble Concubine, I will not pursue this matter any further. The people in your Ronghua Palace should take good care of it. But don't worry, I will visit you every day when the poison attacks you."

Upon hearing this, Yan Ruju's expression instantly fell.

Only two people were sent to find medicine for her, and the people who followed her father throughout the process were there to keep her under surveillance, ostensibly to find medicine.

He visited her every day, ostensibly out of concern, but in reality, he was just preventing her father from secretly giving her the antidote to cure the poison.

In the end, I still don't believe her.

"Alright, Nie Yueming, send the concubine back."

After the imperial concubine left, Leng Qingyi turned his gaze to Zhongli Yuan, who had a grim expression on his face.

"Your concubine is really good to you."

"She didn't do this."

"so what?"

Zhongli Yuan was silent.

He has always trusted the Duke of Zhenguo and the Imperial Concubine. Although he didn't know whether this playboy knew that the snacks and tea were poisonous and avoided them or escaped the disaster by accident, even if he didn't like it, he would symbolically try one or two pieces to give face to the Duke of Zhenguo and the Imperial Concubine.

Then he must be the one who was poisoned. Regardless of whether the imperial concubine knew about it or not, this matter was closely related to her and the family behind her.

If the person who poisoned the drug was more vicious and monopolized the antidote in Runan in advance, he would have only one outcome.

That means being tortured to death by poison.

So does it matter whether this matter was done by the imperial concubine?

Even if it had nothing to do with the family behind her, it was because of her failure to supervise properly that unclean people sneaked into the palace.

He had once trusted such a dangerous person wholeheartedly and even thought of having a child with her if he was really forced to do so.

If this was really done by the Duke of Zhenguo, then their intentions are very big, and the Duke of Zhenguo is no less dangerous than the Prime Minister.

So how many people in the harem have such plans?

The more he thought about Zhongli Yuan, the colder he felt at the back. He also felt more and more isolated and helpless, and that he was a very cowardly emperor.

He was so cowardly that he dared not favor any concubines, for fear that they would have children and die, leaving only the sons.

Looking at Zhongli Yuan's dejected expression, he stood up and patted his shoulder.

"Young man, you haven't seen through the coldness of human nature."

After saying this, he strode out of the Qinzheng Hall.

Zhongli Yuan stared blankly at Leng Qingyi's departing back.

Why can she be so carefree when encountering such a thing? Isn't she anxious in this situation now?

Leng Qing, who had watched such a big show, didn't feel at all how unfavorable the current situation was for her, and went for a leisurely walk in the Imperial Garden.

"Alas, life is short, enjoy it while you can."

Nie Yueming, who was following the emperor ten meters away, also heard what the emperor said.

The doubts and confusions have become even worse these days. He has been with the emperor for almost three months, making him the eunuch chief who has been with the emperor for the longest time.

I can't say I fully understand it, but I can clearly see that the emperor has changed, and the change is not a little bit.
