Chapter 267 Her nightmare returned; she nearly died from poisoning.
As the Sixth Prince Xie Lian drank the bowl of black medicine, a palace maid served Xie Yuzhen tea.
Inside the hall, a sorcerer was performing a ritual.
The rest of the group waited on both sides of the main hall, resting briefly and drinking tea to quench their thirst.
When the tea was served to Xie Yuzhen, she did not drink it.
At this moment, her heart was with Xie Lian.
She glanced subtly outside the hall, waiting for good news to arrive.
Finally, a figure mingled among the palace maids serving tea and entered the main hall.
Soon, the man was beside her.
"Princess, he drank it." The man's voice was very low, only Xie Yuzhen could hear it.
After saying this, he left without lingering and followed the palace maids who brought him tea.
Xie Yuzhen smiled.
Xie Lian has to drink medicine every day, and today's bowl of medicine is Xie Lian's death warrant.
She wouldn't be foolish enough to poison someone.
Physician Liu from the Imperial Hospital has been in charge of Xie Lian's illness, and he knows Xie Lian's condition best.
That day at the welcoming banquet for the envoy from Nanlin, Xie Lian drank wine. She knew he wouldn't be able to handle it, so she deliberately summoned Physician Liu away as soon as she returned to the palace.
Under the guise of showing concern for Xie Lian, she asked Physician Liu many questions.
His body was so weak that even a high dose of medication would kill him.
One of the medicines he used was strychnine, which was used to relieve the pain.
The dosage of strychnine is extremely important; even a slightly large amount can be fatal.
So she simply had Shen Wan'er prepare some strychnine seeds, and only mixed a small amount into the original medicine.
Xie Lian's body can't take it!
Xie Yuzhen's lips curled up slightly, somewhat easing her earlier frustration. She subconsciously looked at Song Qingning and saw that Song Qingning was drinking tea.
Song Qingning took a sip of tea, looked up, and met Xie Yuzhen's eyes.
Xie Yuzhen did not expect her to look up.
Their eyes met, and Xie Yuzhen was stunned for a moment.
Thinking that Xie Lian, whom Song Qingning wanted to protect, was about to die, Xie Yuzhen was in a great mood and soon a smile appeared on her face.
Song Qingning frowned.
Then, his eyebrows relaxed, and he raised the teacup in his hand towards Xie Yuzhen as if offering a toast.
A subtle, almost imperceptible provocation lingered between his brows.
This provocation successfully displeased Xie Yuzhen.
Xie Yuzhen originally didn't want to drink tea, but now, without hesitation, she picked up the teacup in front of her, raised it to Song Qingning, and drank it down in one gulp.
Xie Yuzhen put down her teacup and waited quietly for news from Xie Lian.
Unbeknownst to her, Song Qingning's eyes held a hint of mockery and triumph as she drank the tea.
Time passed by, but still no news came. Xie Yuzhen gradually grew impatient, and the impatience slowly turned into irritability.
The sounds of the religious ceremony around me grew increasingly louder.
Xie Yuzhen frowned and shook her head. Suddenly, she heard someone call her name, "Yuzhen..."
The voice is familiar; it's my mother!
Xie Yuzhen looked towards the altar and, sure enough, saw her mother!
Her mother, dressed in palace attire, was breathtakingly beautiful. Her gaze was gentle and loving, and Xie Yuzhen instinctively called out, "Mother..."
As she spoke, she stood up and rushed toward that figure.
"Mother, it's you, it really is you, Yuzhen missed you so much." Xie Yuzhen was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes.
She knelt eagerly before her "mother," hugging her legs with both hands and gazing at her.
This action stunned everyone.
When she uttered the first "Mother" and ran towards the altar, everyone's expressions froze slightly, and a guess simultaneously popped into their minds:
Could it be the spirit of the Imperial Concubine?
But where was the Imperial Concubine in the main hall?
When Princess Yuzhen ran to the altar, knelt before Consort Hui, and hugged Consort Hui's legs, everyone was stunned again.
For a moment, I was completely baffled.
"Mother, have you come to see your daughter?"
Princess Yuzhen clung to Consort Hui's legs, her eyes filled with longing.
Consort Hui seemed to be startled by what she saw.
Her legs were stiff, and she didn't know what to do.
After a long while, she came to her senses and said to Princess Yuzhen, "Princess Yuzhen, you've mistaken me for someone else. I'm not your mother..."
Not your mother...
These words were like opening a valve.
Xie Yuzhen's body stiffened.
She looked at the person in front of her, who still had the face of her "mother," but as the long-buried memories in her mind surged up, the face of her "mother" became distorted.
Ultimately, it overlapped with the distorted face of his mother in his memory.
Xie Yuzhen looked as if she had seen a ghost.
She suddenly released her grip on her "mother's" legs and collapsed to the ground.
But the "mother's" distorted face was still approaching her.
"Don't come any closer, don't come any closer..." Xie Yuzhen cried out in terror.
Consort Hui stopped in her tracks.
"Princess Yuzhen, I just want to help you up."
Consort Hui looked completely innocent, but her innocence was mixed with doubt.
Besides her, everyone else present was equally puzzled.
Consort Hui clearly cares about Princess Yuzhen, so why is Princess Yuzhen so afraid?
No one could figure it out.
But Consort Hui knew perfectly well what was going on.
That was Xie Yuzhen's inner demon!
Xie Yuzhen drank tea laced with Gu worms, which caused her to hallucinate and see "Consort Shen". The tea laced with Gu worms also triggered her inner demons.
Everyone knows that Consort Shen doted on her daughter.
Little did they know, something else had happened more than ten years ago.
Years ago, remnants of Prince Su's faction kidnapped Consort Shen and the princess while they were traveling together, imprisoning them for a month before they were rescued.
No one knows what happened that month.
After being rescued and returned to the palace, Xie Yuzhen stopped speaking, as if she had become mute.
Consort Shen only said that she was frightened, but she refused to say how she was frightened.
During that time, Consort Hui personally took care of the two of them. On one occasion, she witnessed Consort Shen adding something to Xie Yuzhen's medicine.
Xie Yuzhen, by a twist of fate, did not drink the medicine that had been laced with something.
Consort Hui was wary and later showed the imperial physician the leftover medicine, only to discover that Consort Shen had added poison to the medicine.
Consort Shen is plotting to poison Xie Yuzhen!
Not long after, Xie Yuzhen developed a high fever and fell seriously ill. When she woke up, she forgot everything that had happened before, including her experiences in that month.
Everything returned to normal.
A loving mother and a filial daughter.
But has Xie Yuzhen truly forgotten?
Over the years, Consort Hui had been paying attention, so she naturally knew that she had not forgotten.
It's just buried deep in my heart, sealed away in the dust of time.
Those past experiences were the key to uncovering Consort Shen's true colors!
"Princess Yuzhen, don't be afraid. The ground is cold. Let me help you up." Consort Hui said with concern, moving closer to Xie Yuzhen again.
The closer she got, the more terrified Xie Yuzhen became.
In Xie Yuzhen's hallucination, the face of her "mother" became more and more distorted.
She seemed to see her mother holding a bowl of medicine, trying to coax her to drink it.
But in that medicine...
She witnessed her mother poisoning the woman with her own eyes...
Her mother feared that she would remember what she had seen that month and would kill her.
So, after she "accidentally" knocked over the medicine cup, she secretly went outside and stayed overnight. The winter night was very cold, and she successfully made herself sick from the cold.
Therefore, he "lost his memory".
Her mother regained her favor, and she survived.
But the nightmare still came.
Then, the nightmare began again!
