Yan Cairen was shocked.
She knew that the imperial guard had been investigating the details of the day the imperial concubine disappeared, but she did not expect to find out about her so quickly.
The reason why the imperial concubine disappeared was because she was kidnapped by Yu Jiu.
But how Yu Jiu quietly took people out of the palace, only a few people know the details.
Yan Cairen counts as one, and Baofu counts as one.
Ronggui was the one who helped Yu Jiu take the imperial concubine out of the palace.
And the person who instructed Ronggui to do this was Baofu.
Baofu, as the maid of honor by Yan Cairen's side, the reason why she would do such a bold thing is naturally because of Yan Cairen's advice.
As for Yan Cairen's purpose in doing this, it is naturally to eliminate the powerful enemy of the imperial concubine.
As long as there are noble concubines in the palace for one day, it is impossible for the emperor to see other women in his eyes.
Yan Cairen neither wanted to wither and grow old quietly in the palace, nor did he want to be sent to Ziyun Nunnery to live only like Li Concubine Yao Jieyu.
She wanted to be favored by the emperor, to be the envy of everyone, and to live a glorious and rich life.
She even wanted to sit on the throne of the queen and put her name in the annals of history, a celebrity through the ages!
To accomplish these ideals, the first thing to do is to remove the stumbling block of the imperial concubine.
Yan Cairen imagined everything very well.
As long as there is no noble concubine, she can take advantage of the situation to get the emperor's attention, and then gradually deepen the emperor's impression of herself, and finally wait for the opportunity to take the position and replace the noble concubine's position in the emperor's heart.
She has also been trying to find a way to get close to the emperor these days.
Give him soup and food, make clothes and shoes for him, and show his talents in front of him.
She even used the trick of pretending to be sick.
The results were unsuccessful.
The emperor turned a blind eye to everything she did.
Later, because it was so annoying to her, the emperor directly ordered her to be grounded, and she was not allowed to take another step in the Misty Rain Palace.
Yan Cairen's plan to compete for favor has ended before it even started.
She was very angry and wanted to soothe her mood by playing the piano.
Unexpectedly, before a piece of music was finished, Baofu hurried to her to ask for help.
Yan Cairen's mood completely fell to the bottom and became extremely bad.
Baofu was still kowtowing hard, begging her to save him.
However, Yan Cairen can't protect herself now, how can she still have the ability to save her
Yan Cairen tried his best to suppress the gloomy emotions in his heart and showed a kind smile on his face.
She got up and walked over, helped Baoqin up herself, and comforted her in a warm voice.
"Don't worry, I will definitely save you. You are the maid by my side. The person I trust most in this palace is you. I will never watch you being taken away."
A look of surprise appeared on Baofu's face.
"Are you really willing to save the slaves? As long as you can keep the slaves, the slaves are willing to be cattle and horses for you. No matter what you ask the slaves to do, the slaves are willing to do it for you!"
Yan Cairen first helped her to insert the hairpin that was about to fall back, and then took out the silk handkerchief to help her gently wipe off the blood on her forehead.
"You go back to the house and lie down. When the guards arrive, I will tell them that you are very sick and can't get out of bed now, so they can't take you away."
Baofu nodded vigorously: "Thank you, the servant will go back and lie down."
"Go."
As soon as Baofu left, the smile on Yan Cairen's face disappeared instantly.
She looked at the direction Baofu was leaving with a heavy gaze, and ordered after a while.
"Let the people in the small kitchen bring over a bowl of soup, any soup will do, hurry up."
"Here."
After a while, a little palace maid came in with a porcelain cup.
"Cairen, the soup you want."
Yan Cairen waved his hand and signaled the little palace maid to exit.
After the people left, Yan Cairen took out a small oiled paper bag from his sleeve.
Open the oil paper bag, there is some white powder inside.
This is arsenic, which she specially prepared for Baofu.
Since the emperor ordered a thorough investigation into the disappearance of the imperial concubine, Yan Cairen guessed that sooner or later this matter would be found on her head, so she prepared arsenic in advance in order to kill Baofu Yongjue.
The only thing she didn't expect was that the speed of investigation by the guards was so fast.
Now that the matter has reached this point, Yan Cairen has no choice but to solve Baofu in advance, lest Baofu shake her out.
Yan Cairen squeezed the spoon and stirred the white medicinal powder in the chicken soup evenly.
She didn't stop until she could no longer see the slightest trace, and wiped off the soup on the spoon with a silk handkerchief.
She covered the porcelain cup and carried it to Baofu's residence.
Baofu had already taken off his coat and lay down on the bed.
Because she was too uneasy in her heart, her body couldn't help shaking slightly, her face was as white as paper, and her palms were full of cold sweat.
She really looked like she was sick, and she didn't need to make a disguise at all.
When she saw Yan Cairen coming, she quickly lifted the quilt and sat up.
Yan Cairen smiled.
"Don't move, you don't need to be polite at this time.
This is the chicken soup I made for you.
I added some medicine to the soup.
Don't be nervous, it's not a poison, but a medicine that can make your body uncomfortable for a short time.
This allows you to camouflage more realistically.
Even if the imperial guards invite the imperial physician over to give you a diagnosis and treatment, you don't have to worry about revealing your secrets.
After the effect of the drug wears off, your body will return to normal, and there will be absolutely no side effects. "
Baofu was anxious about how he could deceive the guards later, when he heard Yan Cairen's words, he thought this method was very good, and quickly thanked him.
"Thank you for your hard work, you have spent so much time for the slaves."
Yan Cairen handed the porcelain cup to her, and said warmly: "Drink it while it's still hot, it will take a while for the medicine to develop its effect, you drink it now, and when the guards arrive, the medicine just happens to work. "
Baofu took the porcelain cup with both hands, raised his head and drank it clean.
She handed over the empty porcelain cup and thanked again.
Yan Cairen took the empty porcelain cup, and the smile on his face became softer.
"Lie down well. If you feel uncomfortable in the future, just bear with it. As long as you endure this period of time, you will be fine."
Baofu replied gratefully, "The servant knows."
Yan Cairen left Baofu's residence.
Not long after she left, Baofu felt a pain in her stomach.
Baofu kept in mind Yan Cairen's advice, did not make a sound, huddled in the bed and gritted his teeth to endure.
The pain in her stomach was getting worse and worse, and her internal organs seemed to be corroded by something. The pain made her sweat profusely and her body trembled badly.
A bitter sweetness came up in his throat.
She couldn't help opening her mouth and spit out a mouthful of thick black blood with a wow.
Seeing that the sheets and bedding were stained with black blood, Baofu finally realized something was wrong.
This is different from what Yan Cairen said!
She was calculated by Yan Cairen!
