Suddenly Concubine
31: The trap

Arrive at the Dragon residence..

Empress Lan Ning directly barged in...

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty. Servant heard His Majesty was wounded." said Empress Lan Ning she looked around Emperor Xiowen's body with a worried face..

"You !!"

Empress Lan Ning stared intently at Xia Ming Yue who was beside her..

"For you Your Majesty is like this." snapped Empress Lan Ning...

"Stop ! what are you doing yelling at him ?" emperor Xiowen stared intently.. "Back to your residence, should I increase your sentence Empress ?" asked Emperor Xiowen with great emphasis..

"Your Majesty, but..."

Empress Lan Ning begged with a fondling look..

"Hem.."

Empress Lan Ning saluted then passed away..

Upon reaching the door, Empress Lan Ning passed Concubine Chu and Prince Bai..

Empress Lan Ning and Consort Chu stopped each other's footsteps, staring at each other cynically...

Concubine Chu rolled her eyes, she took her footsteps...

"Sincerely, Your Majesty. Sorry I didn't know when it happened." said Consort Chu bowed respectfully at Prince Bai's follow..

"I'm fine.."

"Then what about Sister-in-law ? is Brother-in-law hurt ?" asked Prince Bai looking at Xia Ming Yue.

"I'm fine, alright, it's best for Your Majesty to rest." Xia Ming Yue said..

"Emm, well you should also rest.." replied Emperor Xiowen gently...

They looked down respectfully, passed away..

Three months have passed...

Now the relationship between Xia Ming Yue and Consort Chu is getting better, other than his relationship with Emperor Xiowen he is getting more and more careless..

Emperor Xiowen always tried to please Xia Ming Yue, once a week, he sent the best silk cloths as well as jewelry..

Concubine Chu had always tried to advise Xia Ming Yue, as if her ears were about to budge listening to Consort Chu's advice..

Somewhere else.

At night...

Empress Lan Ning always threw whatever was in her residence after listening to her servant's report..

"Servant Lu, quickly find me the poison as well as the antidote, take the coin in the box." Empress Lan Ning ordered as she clenched her hand..

"Well Your Majesty." Lu's servant saluted his retreat, he headed for the Capital.

A few moments' lapse..

Lu's servant came over he saluted Empress Lan Ning..

"How ? did you get ?"

"This is the Empress.." Lu's servant gave her two bottles.

"The servant's right hand is his poison while the servant's left hand is his antidote.."

"It's good that I'll drink this poison and you put this poison in Xia Ming Yue's residence, but before that I have to drink the antidote first." Empress Lan Ning said with a sly smile...

While Xia Ming Yue was outside her residence, she slept on a branch of cherry blossoms..

"What should I do, I can't possibly tell Emperor Xiowen, if I'm not the real Yue'er, I admit I'm starting to get warm with his attitude, but that's impossible, but sooner or later I have to tell her." Xia Ming Yue muttered.

He glanced at his residence, then scrunched his forehead..

"Isn't that Lu's servant, then why settle down like a thief.."

Xia Ming Yue continued to watch the movements of Lu's servant, Lu's servant entered through the window and then exited after..

Xia Ming Yue descended from the tree branch, he directly inspected all of his residence..

He was shocked to see a bottle of poison..

Xia Ming Yue smelled the bottle. "It turns out this is an ordinary poison, he wants to trap me." Xia Ming Yue said..

"I'd better leave it alone, and sooner or later His Majesty won't accept me if he knows who I am.." Xia Ming Yue put the poison back into place..

To the next morning,,

Xia Ming Yue sat casually in her residence by reading a book..
