The Reborn Noble Girl Is Hard To Find

Chapter 78 : Spring Poison

The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "Yun Xi is my most beloved son. Now that you are his princess, I specially give you a glass of wine."

The palace maid stepped forward and picked it up carefully. Another palace maid filled the wine glass and handed it to Han Yan.

The smile on Han Yan's lips was a little stiff. She looked at the glass of wine in front of her, as if she saw her miserable death in her previous life through the glass of wine. The Empress Dowager had bad intentions, this was beyond doubt, and this glass of wine must not be the intention of a glass of wine. She couldn't drink it!

When the Empress Dowager saw that she was reluctant to take the wine from the palace maid, her expression suddenly became meaningful: "Miss Zhuang, why don't you take this glass of wine from me?"

How should she take this glass of wine? Han Yan felt as if she had become two people in an instant, one was at a loss in the face of the Empress Dowager's aggressiveness, and the other was quietly watching everything in front of her, calm and self-controlled.

Concubine Chen reminded her, "Miss Zhuang, if you don't accept this cup of wine, it will be disrespectful to Queen Mother. It's rare that Queen Mother loves you so much, so don't be ungrateful."

This was a bit harsh, and the originally happy atmosphere suddenly became a little stiff. Even the usually carefree Deng Chan noticed something was wrong. Although she didn't understand why Han Yan was so slow to accept the wine from the Empress Dowager, she also understood the aggressive tone of Concubine Chen. She was worried about Han Yan and angry with Concubine Chen. But Zhuang Yu Shan smiled, which was very dazzling.

The Empress said calmly, "Why do you have to say that, sister? I guess Miss Zhuang is young and a little scared." She liked Han Yan a little. The last time this little girl coaxed her, she was very happy.

Today, she found that the Empress Dowager and Concubine Chen were targeting Han Yan. There were already enough troubles in the harem, and she didn't want to get involved in this muddy water. But now they were doing it too blatantly. The Emperor loved his younger brother Fu Yun Xi the most, and Fu Yun Xi wanted to marry Han Yan in front of everyone in the Golden Palace. He must have been interested in this little girl. Now, if this little girl made any mistakes in the palace, as the master of the harem, the Empress would inevitably be implicated. So she spoke to ease the situation and said, "Miss Zhuang was scared? You'd better drink this glass of wine quickly and don't delay the Queen Mother's kindness."

Han Yan knew that she could not accept this wine. When she first saw the wine, she subconsciously thought of her miserable end in her previous life. She suppressed her fear of the wine and glanced at everyone in the hall, but she was sad to find that no one here could save her!

Ji Lan and Shu Hong bit their lips tightly. As Han Yan's personal maids, they naturally understood that this wine could not be drunk. However, they could not act rashly; otherwise, the Empress Dowager and Concubine Chen would use their mistakes as an excuse and bring disaster to Han Yan.

Han Yan reached out and took the glass of wine. She was not in a hurry to drink it. Instead, she looked at the clear wine and her heart slowly calmed down.

The Empress Dowager and Concubine Chen must have some plans, but they were not bold enough to kill her in front of the noble ladies and the Empress in the palace. Otherwise, if so many mouths were to spread outside, it would definitely lead to a big mistake. But what was added to the wine?

She lowered her head to see what was so extra in the wine.

Just because she couldn't put herself to death here didn't mean she wouldn't be killed in the future. If the substance in the wine didn't take effect now, it wouldn't be the Empress Dowager's fault if it did in the future. Because the Empress Dowager had no grudges against her, who would believe it? The extra substance in this glass of wine was what would put her to death in the future.
