Swap, the involutionary regent palace fight also forced me to rebel

Chapter 140 Oh my Queen Lian, you’ve been drugged!

But today, on the second day of the Chinese New Year, Yun Ji suddenly came here for some unknown reason. When the empress dowager saw him face to face, she was not quite used to it for a moment.

On the contrary, Yun Ji had a calm expression on her face, and she saluted her along with the other concubines.

After saying some polite words as usual, the Queen Mother clapped her hands and sighed deeply: "Alas, you all, there are so many of you, but not one of you is capable of living up to your potential. You have been in the palace for so long, but I still haven't held my grandson in my arms."

As the head of the harem, the queen stepped forward to respond.

She coughed heavily a few times, her face still showing signs of illness: "It is my fault for not setting a good example for you sisters."

"Even if the emperor favors you, you...ah," shaking her head, the empress dowager cast her gaze at Yun Ji who was resting with his eyes closed, "Lian Zhaoyi, the emperor has summoned you to sleep with him several times. Is there anything wrong with your body?"

The word "sleeping with the emperor" almost made him laugh out loud.

The night he went to the Yangxin Palace, he was driven out by Jin An without even seeing a piece of Yun Ting's flesh.

How could he be pregnant in this situation?

After all, Yun Ji was prepared to use Jin An for her own use. She did not reveal the fact that he had taken Yun Ting by force: "I will do my best."

"His Majesty dotes on you and insists on taking you out of the palace. Even I can't persuade him to do it," the Queen Mother took advantage of the situation and said earnestly, "You should strive to be better!"

On the surface, he lowered his head and pretended to be well behaved, but Yun Ji snorted in his heart.

Even if he wants to have a child, he is only willing to have one for Nan Yingzhi. What virtue or ability does Yun Ting have to be worthy of him personally carrying on the family line?

Knowing well that "all eggs should not be put in one basket", the empress dowager not only talked to Yun Ji, but also gave Concubine Xian some verbal education.

"Empress Xian, you should also try hard. If the Emperor doesn't go to Consort Lian, then he will go to you. You are in good health and it is easier for you to conceive a heir than Consort Lian. You must hurry up."

"Yes." She had always wanted to win the favor of the Empress Dowager. After hearing the Empress Dowager's advice, Concubine Xian was full of confidence. "I will definitely not let the Empress Dowager down."

"It's hard for you to rush here so early in the morning and talk to an old man like me. You must be thirsty, right?"

After the admonition, the Queen Mother regained her peace and called the maidservant beside her to pour tea for the concubines sitting there: "Come here, serve tea."

Only those above the rank of Zhaoyi were qualified to sit on the chairs in the Cining Palace, and when Yun Ji came to pay her respects before, she was a beauty, so she was not qualified to sit down.

Today, due to his promotion, Yun Ji, as a concubine of the harem, sat next to the chair where he used to sit freely as the regent.

The maids started pouring tea from the queen's place. As luck would have it, when it came to Yunji, the last one, the previous pot of tea had been poured out.

They asked him to wait for a moment, and quickly brought a new pot of tea and poured him half a cup.

After arguing with the Queen Mother, Yun Ji felt a little thirsty, so he picked up the teacup and sipped it slowly.

Although Yun Ji is generally very resistant to sweetness, he has no aversion to two kinds of sweetness.

One was the aftertaste of the tea, and the other was the sweet caress that Nan Yingzhi gave him, like a sweet spring.

This tea was quite different from the usual teas that had a slightly sweet aftertaste. Yun Ji savored it for a long time, and even when he walked out of the Cining Palace, his mouth was still full of bitterness.

Knowing that Yun Ting and Nan Yingzhi would arrive soon after they left, the empress dowager asked the maid to take out the gift she had prepared for Yun Ting.

Looking carefully at the bottle, which was less than half full of powder, she asked in confusion, "Why is there a little less of this joy powder out of nowhere?"

As if she remembered something, the maid grabbed the teapot on the table, sniffed it, and her expression was a little stiff.

"Your Highness, I smell the scent of pleasure powder in this tea. Perhaps, when it was placed next to the teapot just now, some of the pleasure powder accidentally dissolved into the tea."

Before the Queen Mother could ask for an explanation, Yun Ting rushed in through the palace gate like he did when he was a child: "Mother, Ting'er is here!"

With Yun Ting by her side, the Queen Mother immediately put the matter behind her.

She hugged Yun Ting and glanced at Nan Yingzhi who was walking slowly behind him: "Your Majesty, have you got time to come and see me?"

Seeing that the Queen Mother had already entered the state of a loving mother, Nan Yingzhi also acted like a steady eldest son and played along with her: "The Queen Mother is well."

I don’t know if it was because he met Nan Yingzhi on the way out, or for some other reason, but Yun Ji felt a little hot on his way back to Yaohua Palace.

He walked quickly back to his palace and was about to take off his coat to loosen up when he heard a sour voice.

"Today is the second day of the Chinese New Year." He had been busy looking for Yun Yan's whereabouts with Yang Ling these days. After Jin An left the court, he found the opportunity to meet Yun Ji. "The prince is going to enter the palace, right?"

When Jin An showed up before, Yun Ji was the first one who was not happy, but because he wanted to persuade Jin An, when he saw Jin An today, he rarely spoke up to drive him away: "Indeed."

Trying to convince Jin An, Yun Ji started from the emotional aspect: "Is your relationship with His Majesty going well recently?"

Ever since Jin An disobeyed orders last time and didn't fight to the death as Yun Ting instructed, Yun Ting has ignored him for a long time.

Jin An was also angry and did not seek peace until Yun Ting assigned him a task. Then he spoke a few brief words to Yun Ting.

Being hit on the pain point, Jin An's eyes flashed with pain: "What do you mean by that?"

I felt that my coat was like a steamer, making it hard for me to breathe, but I couldn't just wear a single layer of clothes in front of a man from Jin'an. Yun Ji chose to compromise and rolled up his sleeves: "I'm just concerned about you."

Seeing his movements, Jin An couldn't help wondering, "It's late autumn now, there's no charcoal fire in this room, you rolled up your sleeves, aren't you cold?"

"It's not cold," Yun Ji said, and he went to open the window, "Don't you think it's hot in the room?"

"Hey," Jin An finally realized that Yun Ji was very different from usual, even strange, and narrowed his eyes, "Why is your face so red?"

"What's the matter with red or not?" Facing the cold wind blowing in his face, Yun Ji couldn't bear it anymore and reached out to take off his outer robe, "It's so hot."

Jin An finally understood why Yun Ji was acting abnormally from the faint bitter taste lingering in his nose, and he shouted.

"Oh my goodness, my Lady Lian, no wonder you're feeling hot, you've been drugged, or that pleasure powder!"
