It's already July and autumn is approaching, with a somewhat desolate flavor.
Chu Lian didn't rush to enter the palace, but instead stayed in the Qian Niao Pavilion to study the prescription left by You Meng and Lan Jing - Yu Yan San. The several medicinal materials on the prescription were indeed not difficult to find, just need to put these medicinal materials and Yu Yan flowers together, decoct into a soup, then filter out the soup medicine, leave the medicine residue, dry in the sun and grind into powder, that is Yu Yan San.
Originally, Chu Lian didn't need to personally take care of such trivial matters as decocting medicine, but she thought that this medicine was quite important, and now was an extraordinary time. If others were to find out, they might cause unnecessary trouble, so she took it upon herself to do everything from decocting the medicine to grinding it into powder.
Because she was unfamiliar with it, Chu Lian tried several times before finally getting a small packet of Yuxuan San. Looking at the white powder, however, she had some doubts about its medicinal properties. After thinking for a moment, in order to avoid any accidents, she decided to test it out first.
Qingqing and Siwei heard Chulianruo's idea, both proposed to try the medicine on themselves, but were stopped by Chulianruo. She smiled calmly: "Since I want to use this medicine, it must be to stimulate the part hidden in people's hearts. You are probably not able to bear that kind of suffering. I have tried it before and don't care about this time."
Si Wei's face was tense, she naturally knew that when Chu Lianruo went to see You Meng before, it was after passing the test of Xi Yan San. Every day's test came out, even if it was calm like Chu Lianruo, it was a big sweat, and the expression was wilted. This kind of torture is really hard to bear.
Si Wei knelt before Chu Lian Ruo: "Your Highness, the Concubine of the Left King, must not be harmed. You are a treasure worth ten thousand gold, if you were to suffer any harm, how could I explain it to the king?"
Although you don't think as much as Si Wei, you still kneel in front of Chu Lian and say: "Let me try the medicine instead, the task given to me by the king is to protect the princess, I will definitely not let the princess get hurt."
Chu Lian smiled slightly, with a hint of helplessness in her expression: "No need to say more, I'll do it myself. After all, those painful things are needed to constantly remind me to seek revenge."
Upon hearing Chu Lian Ruo's words, Si Wei and Qing Qing were taken aback, and ultimately didn't say anything else.
Chu Lian took out some medicinal powder and put it in the tea water, drinking it all at once.
You had long received Chu Lianruo's instructions, and whispered in her ear: "Revenge must be taken, that unfaithful person, blood debt must be repaid with blood..."
Time seemed to have reversed itself. The face in the mirror was no longer Chu Lianruo, but Qin Zhaixin, the former empress who had been renowned for her beauty and elegance.
In that crimson light of years gone by, who was it that devoted their life to the one who had once held hands with them and said: "I will share the world with you."
Who would have thought that she would entrust her true heart just because she called out "sister" that one time.
It was she who sentenced her entire family to death with an unchanging expression.
And who was it that with a sly smile dragged her down to hell?
Those faces, those scenes of the past, seemed to replay in her mind, as if Chu Lian saw the entire world turn into a bloody color. Her young nephew's face was covered with bloodstains, his eyes empty and asking her: Auntie, what did I do wrong?
Her mother, dragging her crippled body, cried out to her: Xīn'er.
In this world, it seems that only those faces are left, ferocious, incomplete, and miserable. She can no longer see a way out.
Si Wei and Qing Qing saw that after saying revenge, Chu Lian Ruo's entire face had turned pale, and even her body began to tremble slightly, as if struggling with something.
