Back In Time (The Reincarnation of the Cruel Concubine)

Sculled

The soldiers proudly returned to the capital, they headed for the palace while parading a young woman tied up with ropes. The woman looked down embarrassed and also afraid, there was no more gap for her to run, she could only resign while hoping the god would save her. But who will save the sinful woman, the woman who will put poison into the medicine of a little girl, who is very eager to recover from her illness.

She was Yang Li, the princess pavilion lady who was assigned to take care of herbal medicine for Zhou Xie Ling.

Yang Li was finally caught, after a massive search for almost a week. Commander Hao mobilized all the troops to capture a runaway palace ladyboy, and the lady was thought to be the mastermind of the mercury poison that attacked Xie Ling.

Originally, the young lady was about to board a small ship towards an island that would become her new residence, because the person who told Yang Li to poison Zhou Xie Ling had prepared everything. Including many gold pieces and new residences. But unfortunately, Yang Li was caught by the guard soldiers at the border, he was suspected for carrying a lot of gold pieces. The young girl was certainly very suspicious, as it was highly unlikely that a shabby-clothed person would carry as many gold pieces as utu.

The soldiers immediately detained him, and after a long examination. Finally the wanted fugitive met.

"What is your name and what is your purpose?" ask a guard at that time.

Yang Li moistened his dry lips, "Yu, Xien Yu." replied the young lady of origin.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going to the next island to visit my grandmother."

The soldier nodded, "Who's your grandmother's name?"

"Why should I answer your question? Was I wrong to visit Grandma?" Yang Li switched the conversation.

There was no one he knew on the island, he was only given a piece of paper and someone would pick him up at the end of the island.

The soldier looked at Yang Li sharply, "This is Emperor Zhou's order, to take care."

Yang Li smothered arrogantly, "That has nothing to do with me."

Yang Li sauntered away, but the other soldier pulled the strong bag he was carrying. The woman rounded her eyes as her bag was torn and the contents of the bag were falling, the gold pieces that the empress' man had given her were scattered in the streets.

The other soldiers came closer, "Hey, why does an ordinary girl like you carry so many gold pieces?!"

"I.. in. This is for my grandmother."

"Save him!"

The soldiers immediately restrained Yang Li, they tied the woman with a rope strong enough. Like endless misfortunes, every guard post turned out to have a painting of the face of the ladyboy.

As soon as it was confirmed, Yang Li was paraded towards the palace.

"Hey, look, she's a lowly ladyboy who has the heart to poison Princess Xie Ling" said a vegetable merchant woman.

"Oh yeah?" ask the others.

"Yes, look at the many soldiers escorting him." said the fish merchant.

"So she's that lowly ladyboy, she deserves to die."

"Yes, he deserves to die."

"He must be tortured to death."

"Low down daydream!"

"Basic is shameless!"

The people in the market became excited as the soldiers and Yang Li passed through the market area, they approached to see the appearance of the ladyboy.

The news of the mercury poison was already crowded, making the people in the country strongly condemn the lady. They were blatantly talking about Yang Li, some even threw rotten fruits and vegetables at the young lady. The soldiers did not intend to protect, they continued to force Yang Li to go forward, even though the woman's steps had been shaken.

"Open the door!" the command of an equestrian warrior, from the armor he wore, he had a high rank.

The main gate of the palace was opened, there was already Commander Hao waiting with some soldiers.

Commander Hao approached, he opened a scroll containing a painting of Yang Li's face, the exact same. "So, you're the one?"

"A. a. forgive me." beg Yang Li. "I'm innocent, I'm framed! Please let me go."

Commander Hao frowned, "Let go of you?"

Yang Li nodded, "I beg you, commander."

"I'll do anything."

"I beg you to forgive me."

The commander chuckled, then smiled slantingly at the brave lady before him. Enough he admitted that Yang Li's courage was high, even at the tip of the horn of his life he would not be forgiven, and Yang Li tried to negotiate, really not knowing himself. "It won't be that easy as a little lady."

"Hell has just begun."

"Take him to the prison, tie him up and torment the lowly lady."

"Okay, commander."

Yang Li tried to wriggle as he was paraded to the prison in the western hall, where Dayang Hong and the others were tortured.

The young woman could not scream because her mouth was gagged with cloth, and her head was covered with a black cloth.

...****************...

"You're sure he's been caught?" Yang Jia Li could not stay still in her room, the woman with the blue hanfu was walking pacing around her room.

One thing that was new was that Yang Jia Li had never felt this scared before. From the start this was not a good idea, if only he was in complete control, surely Yang Jia Li had long killed him. All of this was due to Zhou Xing Huan's gentle nature. "Didn't you have that lady's departure ready?" yang Jia Li asked.

"Dad, please do something."

"There's definitely something we can do, isn't there, dad, you must have a plan, right?!"

"Damn, if you knew all this would happen. I'll finish him myself.'

Yang Zuo was nervous that the lady was caught, but he had given everything he could to take the lady away from the Ming Dynasty. In this case, there is no other way but to use brutal methods.

The empress bit the tip of her fingernails to channel her endless nervousness. "Do you have any father's plans?"

"There's no other way."

"You mean?" asked Yang Jia Li.

"We must kill him immediately, before he speaks and make us all perish."

Yang Zuo got up from his seat, "We should have eliminated him right then and there."

"Here you go, Your Majesty." said Yang Zuo, trying to appease the princess.

Dayang Yue came, the lady-in-waiting hurried to approach Yang Jia Li. "Sorry to interrupt, Your Majesty."

"What's wrong?"

"The Li."

"Why that ladyboy?" Yang Jia Li approached, his two eyebrows fused together. "What's going on?"

"Which Li is being paraded to prison, he will be tortured by His Majesty."

Yang Jia Li's hand head strengthened, the one thing he feared happened.

"We have to kill him, father."
