THE REVENGE OF FOX CONSORT

CHAPTER 56. A gift from Queen Wen

***the Queen Wen's Palace***

The relieved facial expressions of Queen Wen and Eunuch Ma made Ying even more convinced that Queen Wen was plotting with the people of Western Wu Kingdom to kill Wei Bu Yi.

Suddenly an important question appeared in Ying Ying's mind. Did Queen Wen start working together this year or seven years ago?

If thought through carefully, Ying Ying's conjecture was perfectly in accordance with logic and facts.

Seven years ago Queen Xu was in charge of the rear court and Wei Bu Yi was the crown prince, the future successor of Emperor Wai.

Queen Xu became seriously ill and died in the palace, causing Wei Bu Yi, who was at war with the Western Wu Kingdom, to be caught off guard and severely injured. Even Wei Bu Yi was removed from the position of crown prince because he could not give children due to the injury.

Queen Wen was the one who got the luck from the misfortune that befell Wei Bu Yi. Queen Wen succeeded Queen Xu, while Wei Wu Xian became the new crown prince.

"Today Queen Wen considered Bu Yi a great threat to Wei Wu Xian so it must have been trying to get rid of Bu Yi. It was possible that the 6 previous empresses were also Queen Wen's messengers so Bu Yi killed them. I will ask Bu Yi later," Inner Ying Ying.

Although Ying Ying only knew Wei Bu Yi for a short time, Ying Ying believed in Wei Bu Yi completely.

Wei Bu Yi was not a cold-blooded killer as everyone had expected all along. Wei Bu Yi only killed people who deserved to die or enemies who wanted to die.

"If my guess is correct, Queen Wen must have used this opportunity to make me a spy to watch over Bu Yi!"

The palace dayang served dishes containing small snacks on the table, while Eunuch Ma poured tea into the cups of Queen Wen, Chang Ru, and Ying Ying.

"Chang Le's! Your face is so pale! Let's drink some tea to calm down!" queen Wen said kindly.

"Thank you Queen Wen!"

"Sister Chang Le must still be traumatized by the events of that night. It's a good thing Chang Le survived and wasn't hurt in the least!" said Chang Ru.

Chang Ru tried to keep her heart resentment over Queen Wen's concern for Ying Ying so as to pretend to be worried about Ying Ying's circumstances in order to leave an impression of being a kind girl in Queen Wen's heart.

Ying Ying gulped down the tea inside the cup after making sure the tea was non-toxic.

Queen Wen smiled satisfiedly at Ying Ying's attitude.

"Chang Le's! You must have heard rumors about the death of the 6th empress Bu Yi. Although there is no real evidence, Bu Yi is responsible for their deaths."

Queen Wen stared intensely at Ying Ying's facial expression, but there was no reaction of fear as imagined by Queen Wen. Ying Ying was acting very calm.

"Aren't you afraid of being killed by Miss Yi?" queen Wen asked curiously.

Whereas when Ying Ying told her about the assassin, it was obvious that Ying Ying was so afraid of death that Ying Ying's calm demeanor made Queen Wen uneasy.

"When I fell into the palace pool, it was Prince Wei Bu Yi who saved me. I'm sure Prince Wei Bu Yi won't kill me!"

"Damn it! Chang Le was too innocent and regarded Bu Yi as his helper god. I have to use another way!" inner Queen Wen.

"Bu Yi was indeed a good child, but his personality was so unpredictable that it could sometimes turn into someone scary."

Chang Ru who listened intently to Queen Wen's words also nodded her head spontaneously.

"Look! Chang Ru also agrees with me!"

"Right Queen Wen said! Prince Wei Bu Yi was terrifying!" said Chang Ru.

Chang Ru clearly remembered Queen Wen's message to agree with Queen Wen's words, so that Queen Wen would consider her a good daughter-in-law.

"Then, what should I do?" ying Ying asked with a puzzled face.

"I can persuade Bu Yi to accept you as empress and not kill you, but you must listen and execute all my commands well!" queen Wen replied with a wide smile.

"This cunning old woman was already convinced that Bu Yi could not kill me, but used that to lie to me to be a spy," Ying Ying's inner self.

"I am just a weak girl. When I became the empress of Prince Wei Bu Yi, of course I had to be obedient and loyal to Wei Bu Yi so that my life would not be threatened."

The blatant rejection from Ying Ying made Queen Wen riled up and stared intently at Ying Ying, while Chang Ru shouted in excitement in her heart.

"Chang Le is stupid! Dare to offend Queen Wen!"

Queen Wen was eager to slap Ying Ying in the face for daring to refuse her orders, whereas Ying Ying displayed a sinless face as if she was unaware she had already offended Queen Wen.

"Queen Wen! Didn't Queen Wen order the servant to prepare a gift for Miss Chang Ru and Miss Chang Le?"

Eunuch Ma's soft voice resuscitated Queen Wen from the almost overflowing anger. It was almost that Queen Wen forgot about the other plan to control Li Chang Le.

Li Chang Le was a precious pawn that could be placed on Wei Bu Yi's side. Moreover, General Li Jin could be controlled by Queen Wen if Li Chang Le fell into his hands.

Eunuch Ma gave two boxes of similar size to Chang Ru and Ying Ying.

"Thank you Queen Wen!" said Ying Ying and Chang Ru simultaneously.

Ying Ying placed her jewelry box on the table, precisely near Chang Ru. Ying Ying knew the narrow-minded Chang Ru must have been curious if it was true that the jewelry Queen Wen gave to the two of them was the same and fair.

While Queen Wen's face was getting reddened held back the anger because Ying Ying did not appreciate the gift from her.

"You both have to wear that jewelry on your wedding day!" queen Wen's Order.

"Good Queen Wen!"

"There must be something suspicious about the jewelry!" inner Ying Ying.

"The jewelry from Queen Wen must be very beautiful and precious! I can't wait to see it!" chang Ru said as she opened her jewelry box.

A pair of Chang Ru's eyes twinkled at the contents of the box. Chang Ru had already imagined herself to be the center of attention on the wedding day.

"Sister Chang Le didn't see the contents of brother's jewelry?"

"Queen Wen was very fair and wise. I'm sure our jewelry must be the same!" ying Ying replied casually.

Ying Ying's praise made Queen Wen's anger subside a little. Ying Ying's calm demeanor made Queen Wen compare her again to the foolish, greedy and ignorant Chang Ru to refrain from looking at the contents of the jewelry.

BRUK!

Chang Ru accidentally nudged Ying Ying's jewelry box so that it fell down and opened wide. All the jewels in it were splattered on the floor.

"Sorry Brother Chang Le! I didn't mean it!"

Although Chang Ru's mouth apologized, but her pair of eyes stared intensely at all the jewels splattered on the floor without any intention of helping pick her up.

Eunuch Ma bowed quickly and picked up all the jewels on the floor. Ying Ying saw clearly Eunuch Ma using a handkerchief as she touched the golden bracelet carved by the phoenix.

"The bracelet must be poisonous!" inner Ying Ying.

"Miss Chang Le! Here's the jewelry box!"

Eunuch Ma handed over the jewelry box that was fully filled as before.

"Thank you Eunuch Ma!"

Chang Ru breathed a sigh of relief seeing the contents of Ying Ying's jewelry box were the same as the contents of her jewelry box, but Chang Ru's face became sullen as she considered herself worthy of Queen Wen's jewelry because Wei Wu Xian was Queen Wen's biological son.

Chang Ru felt it was unfair that Chang Le had the same luck as her.

While Ying Ying was also staring at the jewelry inside the box belonging to Chang Ru, but the reason Ying Ying did so was not the same as the content of Chang Ru's mind and heart.

Ying Ying was sure both the boxes and the contents of her jewelry and Chang Ru were exactly the same. If it was true that the phoenix-carved gold bracelet was poisonous, it was likely that the same bracelet in Chang Ru's box was also poisonous.

"Queen Wen is indeed a cunning and cruel old woman. He did not care if Chang Ru was also exposed to the same poison. As long as the goal is achieved, it's controlling me to harm Bu Yi!" inner Ying Ying.

Ying Ying's conjecture was very precise. The two phoenix-carved golden bracelets were poisonous and extremely deadly.

The poison will poison the person wearing it slowly, by seeping into the body through the surface of the skin.

Queen Wen had an antidote so as to force Ying Ying to do her orders in exchange for the antidote.

Regarding Chang Ru who was also exposed to the poison, Queen Wen did not care. As long as Chang Ru became the obedient crown princess, then Queen Wen would give her the antidote.

Queen Wen would not have expected Ying Ying to be able to make an antidote for the poison so it was fine for Ying Ying to wear the bracelet on the wedding day with Wei Bu Yi.
