Back In Time (The Reincarnation of the Cruel Concubine)

Dark trick

If we want to gain something valuable, then we also have to sacrifice something valuable.

Teacher Zhang smiled faintly. Finally after a long search, he managed to find out who the person selling mercury was to Yang Jia Li.

The master played a jade ornament with special carvings and ornaments, which only the empress had. That jade must have been a decent payment for a bag of mercury powder. But unfortunately, this time Yang Jia Li played recklessly, why did he not pay with a gold puck or one of his collection urns alone. The empress instead paid with a jade ornament inscribed with the emperor's 'Yang Jia Li' gift.

"Let go!! I'm not guilty!!"

Master Zhang turned his gaze, at a dark merchant who was struggling because his hands and feet were firmly tied by the palace soldiers.

"I'm not guilty!"

"I beg you, let me go!"

Teacher Zhang kept the jade back, he got up and aligned his body with the merchant. "let go?"

"I beg you, sir, let me go. I was just ordered to bring that thing from the next country, I don't know anything."

"really?"

The merchant nodded, "I swear, sir." said the old man, he was terrified that more than five young men dressed in black had suddenly come to arrest him.

"Save your explanation for it later!" teacher Zhang said.

"Ta. ta. but I'm innocent."

Teacher Zhang raised his eyebrows next, "Not guilty? You're guilty of smuggling dangerous goods into the Ming Dynasty. Don't you think that's a big mistake?"

"And again, I need you to blame someone."

Teacher Zhang gave orders to the soldiers he brought to get the merchant into the carriage. They'll be back at the palace soon.

"You don't eat your food anymore?" yang Jian Zhu asked as the man reached Wu Li Mei prison, the food given to the concubine was completely untouched.

The man crouched down, took back the plate filled with food and replaced it with a new one. "If you don't eat, you'll get sick."

Wu Li Mei smiled cynically, "Since when my health matters to you."

"Yes, it is not." replied Yang Jian Zhu of origin, "But your time to die is still five days away, do you want to quickly meet the gods?"

"No one knows when someone lives and dies." replied Wu Li Mei, the woman sitting gracefully on the wooden cot reserved for her. As much as possible, he resisted the cold that spread through the floor and walls.

His two trembling hands, he hid behind his long hanfu arms. One thing he is grateful for is that he is still wearing warm clothes, and he is his patron for this winter.

Yang Jian Zhu sniffed his shoulders, "If you want to live, then eat."

"Do you think I'm stupid?"

"You mean?"

Wu Li Mei scathed, "I'm not stupid, by eating in the enemy's enclosure."

Yang Jian Zhu smiled, thin, but the concubine admittedly quite charming. Wu Li Mei cursed herself for being drugged with the handsome face of the prosecutor's department head, she was the enemy, all those who cooperated with Yang Jia Li were enemies.

"You think I'm your enemy?"

Wu Li Mei rotated her eyeballs, "Do I still need to explain?"

"My fault?" Wu Li Mei frowned. "I'm innocent of all this, I never hid mercury in my pavilion."

"Then?" Yang Jian Zhu stared as fiercely as the concubine. "Can mercury run its own way?"

"Have it, you are a part of them" Wu Li Mei said, saying 'they' were referring to Yang Jia Li and his accomplice. "If I explain anything, I'll be executed in five days."

"Are you guys happy?" wu Li Mei asked, "If you guys want my life, why should my daughter be a victim as well?!"

Wu Li Mei got up, he walked over to the head of the department full of emotions. The highlight of his eyes was sharply piercing right at Yang Jian Zhu's bead of eyes. "Take me off!" his shout, Wu Li Mei clutched his prison bars firmly.

"I'm not supposed to spend time in this godforsaken place."

"I have to take care of my sick daughter."

"You're all assholes!"

"Take me off!!"

Wu Li Mei's two eyes began to heat up, along with the furious, sad, and fearful turmoil that mixed in her heart.

Right now, compared to his life, the life of the little princess was much more important. Zhou Xie Ling had been through a great deal of pain since childhood, and now, that child was an easy target for his enemies to destroy the concubine. Not every second, he did not worry about Zhou Xie Ling and his two twins. They are the heart, and the concubine is not with them to protect each other.

Anger mixed with tightness that piled up to fill his head. Ironically, he could only shut up and pray behind this damned prison.

"Listen well to my words, Yang Jian Zhu." Wu Li Mei said in a cold and threatening tone. Its cold aura added to the gloomy atmosphere of the dimly lit prison.

"If anything happens to my daughter, you'll pay her the price of what I've lost."

Wu Li Mei adjusted her wheezing breath, her gaze not separated from Yang Jian Zhu. And, the shadow of a woman from behind the door, Wu Li Mei knew who she was.

"There is no forgiveness if I lose my daughter."

Yang Jian Zhu cleared his throat slowly, in order to wet his suddenly dry throat. In his life, there had never been a woman who had blatantly challenged him like Wu Li Mei, even the head of the prosecutor's department had felt fear for a split second.

"Mr princess is fine, the Empress has taken good care of it."

"You don't need to worry, Your Majesty."

Yang Jian Zhu was about to pass, but the check on his arm managed to stop the man's footsteps. Yang Jian Zhu turned his head, who else if not Wu Li Mei.

The check grew stronger and stronger, Wu Li Mei asked to stick her sharp nails on Yang Jian Zhu's hanfu arm. "I hold your word!"

"But,"

"If my daughter isn't okay, your life will be at stake."

"Tell that damned sister of yours, Yang Jia Li, I haven't lost. Then be prepared to face a counterattack from me."

Yang Jian Zhu choked, he wanted to make a sound and intimidate Wu Li Mei back. But he was unable, as his bead seemed to sink into Wu Li Mei's sharp dark netra.

Yang Jian Zhu could only remain silent, all the threats or replies he wanted to throw were stuck in his head.

"Go, Yang Jian Zhu!" wu Li Mei's.

"Tell my words to your master, watchdog!"
