Chapter 4: Poisonous...
The system assigned Jiang Jiang to a new identity.
Wearing a crown and holding a whisk.
"Wow, this outfit is much more relaxed. I look like an official. How about it? What kind of official is this time?"
[…The eunuch leader]
The system was silent more than once.
"Ah?! A man? A eunuch?" I beg you to die! Thank you!
Jiang Jiang lingered for a while beside the rockery shelter and was discovered by a palace maid, who thought Jiang Jiang was eavesdropping on the noble's conversation.
Before Jiang Jiang had time to adapt to his new identity, he was picked up.
"My Lady, it's Eunuch Mei."
[…Run]
Jiang Jiang: My legs are weak...
Why did you change the imperial concubine again? It wasn't this one just now...
[…The previous imperial concubine made a mistake and died. Now she is the new imperial concubine.]
"Your Majesty, spare me! I didn't hear anything!" I really didn't hear anything. I just arrived and was passing by...
"Eunuch Mei, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being here!" The imperial concubine grabbed the candlestick beside her and smashed it fiercely on Jiang Jiang's crown.
Jiang Jiang died.
[…Why don’t you run? ]
"My legs are weak and I can't walk..." The scene of being sentenced to death before was vivid in Jiang Jiang's mind, and he was scared.
[……]What should I do with this stupid host?
[…Come again]
Jiang Jiang touched the headdress and this time it was a woman's.
relieved.
A little excited...
"What is it this time?" The headdress was not that heavy, nor was it empty.
Long hair, wide sleeves, women's clothes.
[A female official who made pearl hairpins for the ladies in the harem.]
"Pearl hairpin? I don't know how to make a pearl hairpin? What should I do?"
【…】
"Puff!" Jiang Jiang spat a mouthful of black blood onto the dining table.
Shouting it's poisonous.
And then rescued.
"Your Excellency, the food is not poisonous. The problem lies with the plate of pastries."
The imperial physician was kneeling on the ground, in front of him was a graceful and wealthy woman with white hair.
The maids beside her knelt down and said, "Your Highness, the cakes are a gift from the Queen Mother, and were sent by Hu Siyi."
"It's not me, it's not me." The woman standing behind the imperial physician knelt down to defend herself, "The Queen Mother gave us two boxes of cakes, one for each of us. Besides, if I wanted to take action, how could I know in advance which box Yang Sizhen would take? I ate the other box myself, so how come I am fine..."
"Maybe you poisoned both boxes. Only you know whether you ate your own box or not." The woman in gorgeous clothes next to the palace lady gloated.
Hu Siyi was filled with anger, and spoke righteously and loudly, "Madam Zheng, don't lie. I didn't do anything I didn't do."
"Okay, everyone stop arguing and let Yang Sizhen have a good rest. I will investigate this matter thoroughly."
"Yes, Lady Shang Gong!" everyone said in unison.
The palace lady sympathized with Yang Sizhen's poisoning and gave Jiang Jiang a day off to recuperate.
I ate my meals very carefully for a few days and didn't dare to touch any cakes or pastries, as I was afraid to avoid them.
But Jiang Jiang's condition not only did not get better, but became worse.
[……] The system clenched its back teeth.
Jiang Jiang died of poison.
Before she died, she heard a palace maid say that the chopsticks accidentally touched the silver hairpin and turned it black.
Jiang Jiang: Vomiting blood...
Why didn’t you tell me earlier that chopsticks are poisonous!
Jiang Jiang died.
[……] There is no hope, no hope…
There is really no hope...
The host is a fool...
"It's very difficult to complete the mission. If you go in, you will either be sentenced to death, beaten to death, or poisoned to death."
[…Don’t be discouraged.] The host is really stupid…
"What will be your next identity?"
【Hu Siyi? 】The system asked tentatively.
"No, she was just bullied by that lady, she might even die..."
【Then you choose one...】
"Ah? You want me to choose? I can't choose..."
[…Then what do you want? ]
"Do I have to go to the palace? Is it okay not to go to the palace?"
[…No, the villain who is the target of the mission is in the palace. He will commit suicide after killing everyone.]
"Who is the villain?"
[I haven’t met yet…]
