Back In Time (The Reincarnation of the Cruel Concubine)

Poisoned tea

“Ahh, so lazy here!” Yang Jia Li again yawned widely due to the overwhelming drowsiness in the morning, when only a while ago he woke up from his sleep.

The woman wriggled and stretched both hands, her body more and more day more pain and fatigue, her joints also experienced a lot of problems due to sitting and sleeping too often. There was nothing he did but laze around and relax during the seclusion at the hilltop Heng Shui Monastery. The period of seclusion should be passed with full devotion to the monastery and regret for the deity for the despicable behavior that had been done, but that did not apply to Yang Jia Li.

“Dayang Yue!!”

“Dayang Yue!!”

“Dayang Yue!! You are where the hell you are!” yang Jia Li shouted annoyedly.

The lady-in-waiting broke into the lord's room, “Ya, Your Honor, sorry I was preparing food for you.”

“All the other ladies, you will be with me!” resounding.

“Ba-okay, Your Highness.”

“Quickly open all those windows and curtains, I want morning air to enter into this room. It felt so tiring and bored, there was nothing I could do while I was here. I'm so tired of not doing anything.” Complaining Yang Jia Li, the woman who was still sitting on her bed began to move.

The lady-in-waiting quickly opened one window after another and opened the curtain, the morning air did enter but it was no longer cool because it was getting late.

“Jeez, what time is it?” asked Yang Jia Li.

“Now at ten, Your Highness.”

“I'm too late for tea turns out.” Yang Jia Li patted his own forehead, the morning routine he always lived that drinking tea was never a day absent. The empress believes that tea can make him young, she had heard a scholar say that tea has a content that can make young.

“But, Your Honor, that tea is usually gone. The ladies who are told to buy tea have not come from the market.” Dayang Yue lowered her head in fear because it was certain that Yang Jia Li would be angry.

“Damn it!”

Prahaadng …

Dayang Yue prangled in shock as Yang Jia Li slammed all the dishes and cups presented on her dining table. All the furniture made of porcelain was smashed shapeless, even though the price was very expensive.

“Actually what can you do well the ladies?! Just buying tea can't then what can you do?!”

“Ma-sorry, Your Highness.”

“Sorry?” Yang Jia Li frowned deeply, “Apardon being able to make the tea I want is here?! No, then you're Dayang Yue, go and find the tea I want until I get it!!”

The empress' ears pointed outward, her breathing was stinged and her face was crimson withstanding anger. Early in the morning like this she had to get angry just for the absurd reason of the ladies-in-waiting, she said, indeed the trip to the market where Yang Jia Li used to buy tea took two days on foot, and it was already the fastest.

“What is this, Jia’er?”

Yang Jia Li turned his head towards the door, “Dad?”

“Why do your ladies rest at your feet so?”

Yang Zuo nodded his head, he went inside the princess' room and put down a pack of herbs. “I brought tea for you, he said this can make youthful and beautiful.”

“Really?!” yang Jia Li's eyes immediately sparkled.

“Sure, I came all this way to give this herbal tea to you, Jia’er. The price is very expensive because I bought it from a merchant of Lun country, he only comes to this country once a year.

“Then why did you only buy a few?!” annoyed by Yang Jia Li, he lifted the bundle as big as that head and smelled its scent. “But why does it smell so strange like dad? Is this really a good tea? The smell stings once, my nose hurts.”

Yang Zuo shook his head looking at the level of the princess, “This is enough for the next few months, you will not every second brew tea instead. Believe me this is efficacious, I had to scramble with a young man just to buy this herbal tea.”

“Alright if this can make me beautiful, then I will drink it every day.”

***

A young man gathered in a room whose lighting was just dim, he gave a packet of herbal tea as big as a head. “You sure you've changed it?” asked the madam who was sitting on the chair very gracefully, she received the herbal tea and smelled the aroma.

“True, madam, I already swapped it and can I make sure it is because Yang Zuo himself took it from me.”

“What's the guarantee?”

“My mom, mistress.”

“Good, if anything happens to Yang Jia Li, then I will look for you all over this world and I must take responsibility.”

The young man nodded twice, “Ya willing, madam.”

The two metal puck straps were captured well by the young man, he immediately put them away and left. Since the task was over and there was no more business, with this money he would go to another land to live until the mistress called him again.

I hope there are no more calls.

“Your Majesty, don't you have to check the tea first, lest the young man lie.” Dayang Yi.

Always loyal to accompany Wu Li Mei wherever he went, Dayang Yi only felt anxious maybe the young man had fooled the great concubine. But Wu Li Mei's answer remained on her stance, “No need Dayang Yi, I know which tea is correct and which tea should be received by Yang Jia Li.”

“How can it?”

“Of course you can, the smell is different. The original fragrant tea does not sting at all, and this time he delivered the correct tea.”

Wu Li Mei could be sure of that, she was confident because during her time in this middle of nowhere land she had already gotten used to smelling various herbs. Including plants that contain harmful ingredients, one of which is this tea. Not just any tea, let alone nutritious, explained Wu Li Mei was not that good to give kindness to Yang Jia Li who was already so cruel to him.

The grand concubine stared at the tea, another one of her packs must have reached Yang Jia Li by now. “Command a spy lady to make sure that Yang Jia Li always drinks that tea, make sure not to miss a day.”

“Good, Your Highness.”

Wu Li Mei smiled obliquely, “Just wait for Yang Jia Li, you will also feel what my little princess felt before. Even this will hurt a lot more!”
