Back In Time (The Reincarnation of the Cruel Concubine)

Retaliation

Yang Jia Li was awake until morning, he was reluctant to sleep because of the anger that was still held in his chest. That beautiful night was supposed to be hers, but Wu Li Mei suddenly came and ruined all her plans. Overnight with the emperor was planned in advance, as a form of closeness of their relationship. The two had not spent the night together for a long time, so he was afraid that the people in the palace would gossip and spread bad rumors. Although it would only lie down together later, but Yang Jia Li was already very happy.

The empress' love for the emperor was immense, beyond anything even her own life. She has become empress, but still feels less if there is no heir. Though Yang Jia Li had tried all means to be able to contain. As much as any seed that enters her womb, it is still unable to develop into life.

The empress rubbed her queen's belly, long ago, there was a life in here that she was very much looking forward to her birth. He became sad to remember his children who could not come to see the beauty of the world. Should they be born, should he get a successor to the throne, should all this power be his.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Yang Zuo has arrived." said the Dayang Yue.

"Send him in!"

"Okay, Your Majesty."

The empress called her father this morning, she needed the old man to help her think. Yang Jia Li was so fond of the father, on the contrary, he listened to all the words of the father and never denied. And as a mutual relationship, Yang Zuo would obey all the wishes of the princess.

The old man with the ponded body stepped in, he rounded his eyes looking at the countless bottles of wine near the princess. Most of it is gone. "What's up, Jia'er?"

"Did you down all this wine?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Are you crazy?!"

"Yes, I'm crazy."

"Jiaer!" the father forcefully snatched the wine bottle that Yang Jia Li was about to pour. "Emperor can be angry if you see you drunk, a queen must not be drunk!"

"The emperor will not see."

Yang Zuo frowned, "You mean? Didn't you sleep together tonight? Where's kaisar?"

Yang Jia Li squeezed his hanfu tightly, his gaze blurred along with a great dizzy in his head. Both of his eyes were heavy to open.

Yang Jia Li limbung, the father helped Dayang Yue immediately move the weak body of the empress to her bed. No one should know about the current state of the empress, or she would be very embarrassed later. If it knew Yang Jia Li was screwed up, surely bad rumors about him would soon spread.

"The emperor is making love to Wu Li Mei!" yang Jia Li said on the sidelines of his consciousness that was beginning to thin.

"Wu Li Mei?"

Dayang Yue nodded, "It was planned that the emperor would spend the night in the queen's pavilion, but, one thing happened, until the emperor turned to the grand concubine's pavilion and chose to spend the night there."

"His Majesty the Empress was so angry and damaged all the furniture in her room that she asked for wine and we were forced to give it to her. Because the empress threatened to kill us."

Hearing the story, Yang Zuo swept his gaze around the red room. Focusing too much on the princess, he became unaware that some items had been destroyed. The room was very dirty and messy.

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

"You're poison?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Who ordered you to do it?"

Yang Jian Zhu was speechless, this time what else? Whose life should be stretched out just because of the poison.

This afternoon was a messenger who came to him, he claimed to have been ordered by his father to give a small bottle of poison to the head of the department. Yang Jian Zhu accepted it as well, he kept the small bottle in his hanfu pocket to keep it safe.

"You're sure Yang Zuo ordered you?"

"Yes, sir, he gave me a lot of gold last week" replied the envoy.

"For what?"

"I don't know either."

The messenger took out a piece of paper from his hanfun arm, he gave the sheet to Yang Jian Zhu. "This is proof of poison purchase, sir."

The sheet of paper was open, displaying what the messenger had said. The contents were true that Yang Jia Li had bought the concoction of poison from the neighboring country in secret. The poison consists of snake venom and a collection of specially ordered poisonous herbs, giving a small amount of poison is very effective to kill human lives.

Yang Jian Zu ordered the envoy to leave after their affairs were over, it was extremely dangerous if anyone saw any strange interactions between the two. Without delaying any more time, the man headed straight for the queen pavilion.

He knew that today his father had come to the palace at the request of Yang Jia Li, and all of this was definitely related to them. Jian Zhu heard the news that tonight the emperor spent the night in the grand concubine's pavilion, when it was supposed to be in the queen's pavilion. Apparently it was also what made Jia Li so devastated.

It was certain that this poison was for Wu Li Mei, or the people closest to him. Yang Jian Zhu was worried about choosing to give the poison or just throw it away. His steps came to a halt as he was about to climb the stairs towards the queen pavilion, he grabbed the small bottle and looked at it immediately. Inside that glass bottle, there was a dark yellow poison. He was choosing between the path of truth and evil, if he threw it away it might be able to save the life that should have been killed, but if he gave it, it was the same as Yang Jia Li. Sly, heartless woman.

"Dian Zhu!"

The head of the department turned his head in shock as his name was called, apparently the father was walking towards him.

Jian Zhu immediately hid the bottle, but unfortunately his actions were discovered. Yang Zuo snatched it with great difficulty, this was the most precious treasure for them.

"Who else will be killed?"

"You don't have to interfere, just take care of your own business in the prosecutor's department." replied the father.

"Wu Li Mei?"

"His children?"

"Emperor or queen mother?"

"WHO'S DAD?!"

A red scar was imprinted on his cheek, the slap was too loud to hurt the corner of the prosecutor's department's lips. Yang Jian Zhu could only be speechless while permeating the heat and soreness on his cheeks.

He was tired of his crazy father and sister. Still ringing in his head the brash attitude of Yang Jia Li the other day in his private room, now the two people had planned something out of his control. If it comes to poison, there will definitely be lives killed.

"Shut your mouth!" hiss Yang Zuo. "If you don't keep talking anymore, I'll cut off your tongue myself!"

"If this time the plan fails because it has leaked information, you're the first person I'm gonna kill."

"Just destroy that department of yours, remain a guard dog for your sister!"
