Quick Transmigration: Can This Kind of Scum Become the Chosen One?

Chapter 311 The female protagonist ascends to the position of Empress Dowager through her son.

"Your Majesty, have you been very tired lately?" Consort Wang asked tentatively.

"I am a little tired, there have been a lot of things to do lately. Does the Imperial Concubine feel that I have been neglecting you lately?" The Emperor embraced the Imperial Concubine Wang.

"Your Majesty must take more rest; you mustn't overwork yourself. I'd be so worried about you."

"Let the imperial physician prescribe a remedy for His Majesty's health; it has been a long time since I cooked medicinal meals for him."

Consort Wang couldn't directly say that the Emperor had an unusual odor and suspected he was ill. She could only offer this subtle hint.

"I knew the Imperial Concubine cared for me the most. Tomorrow I will have the imperial physician come to check your pulse. He will also help you get some treatment."

Consort Rong and Consort Zhao are both pregnant; it's time for the Imperial Concubine to give me a child too.

The Emperor picked up Consort Wang and carried her to the bed.

Consort Wang endured the stench and tried her best to cooperate with the Emperor.

The emperor thoroughly enjoyed his visit.

Then he carried Consort Wang into the bathhouse for a soak.

Consort Wang was so breathless at this moment that she could hardly breathe.

Once in the water, it couldn't wait to leave the emperor's embrace.

The Emperor simply assumed that Consort Wang was just shy and didn't think much of it.

The next day, the emperor sent the imperial physician to check the emperor's pulse.

After examining the emperor's pulse, the imperial physician discovered that the emperor appeared to be poisoned.

Isn't this the pulse pattern that the imperial physician just saw in a medical book a couple of days ago?

The medical book records that this is poisoning.

The symptom is an unpleasant odor.

The emperor himself couldn't smell the odor, but others could.

Moreover, this poison is transmitted through bodily fluids.

If the Emperor is poisoned, does that mean other concubines are also poisoned?

It was even possible that other concubines infected the emperor.

The imperial physician asked the emperor if he had smelled any unusual odor on anyone else recently.

Speaking of unpleasant odors, the Emperor thought of Xu Ruyi.

The Emperor told the imperial physician that Xu Ruyi had an unpleasant odor that made people nauseous.

The imperial physician told the emperor that Xu Ruyi was poisoned.

The Emperor has also been poisoned after coming into contact with Xu Ruyi.

Moreover, those who had contact with the emperor were likely also poisoned.

One symptom of poisoning is an unusual body odor.

The emperor was terrified when he learned that he had been poisoned.

The only saving grace is that this poison won't kill you.

However, it's also disgusting that it makes people smell bad.

Moreover, this poison can spread.

The imperial physicians had only just learned of this poison.

I had absolutely no idea what kind of poison it was, what its name was, or how to detoxify it.

The emperor could only order the imperial physicians to quickly research how to detoxify.

Upon hearing the imperial physician's words, Consort Wang burst into tears.

The strange smell she detected on the emperor turned out to be poisoning.

The Emperor has been poisoned.

Then she... then she must be poisoned now too.

Consort Wang immediately felt a pang of regret.

If she hadn't been with the Emperor last night, she wouldn't have been poisoned.

Now she's poisoned too.

She also had an unpleasant odor.

What can she do?

It's all because of that damned Xu Ruyi.

What exactly is Xu Ruyi doing?

Why would you use such a disgusting poison?

The emperor was also very angry.

They suspected that Xu Ruyi was sent by someone specifically for this purpose.

Use that face to deceive him.

Then take the opportunity to poison him.

This time they used this kind of poison; next time they might use some deadly poison.

The emperor sent men to arrest Xu Ruyi.

To dare poison the Emperor is an unforgivable crime.

Not only was Xu Ruyi herself doomed to die, but the Xu family was also to blame.

Consort Wang took the opportunity to tell the Emperor.

The portrait of the Xu family's daughter that I saw when I was in the talent show didn't look like this.

Moreover, the Xu family originally had two daughters selected for the imperial concubine selection, but later, the other daughter fell seriously ill and died, leaving only Xu Ruyi to participate in the selection.

His appearance is completely different from the portrait.

Consort Wang thought that the portrait painter had failed to capture her beauty.

Now it seems there might be some hidden story behind this.

Perhaps this Xu Ruyi is no longer a daughter of the Xu family.

The Emperor sent people to the Xu family to investigate the matter of the two daughters.

Xu Ruyi insisted that she was innocent.

She didn't intend to frame the emperor.

She's too busy trying to win his favor.

How could I possibly want to harm the Emperor?

The Emperor is her benefactor, and she's too busy fawning over him to possibly take his life.

Xu Ruyi never expected that the strange smell was actually a sign of poisoning.

Moreover, she herself was poisoned.

Xu Ruyi cried and begged the Emperor to intervene on her behalf.

She's been poisoned.

Someone must have poisoned her.

Someone must be jealous of her, so they wanted to frame her and poison her with this disgusting poison to prevent her from winning favor.

However, the emperor did not believe what Xu Ruyi said.

She remained in her palace, with no one visiting her or sending her anything.

Who poisoned her? How did they poison her?

The emperor told her to obediently hand over the antidote.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have let her go.

Xu Ruyi knew nothing, and naturally had no antidote.

Xu Ruyi was locked up.

This is no longer just a simple stay-at-home order.

Xu Ruyi was imprisoned and interrogated every day.

The matter concerning the Xu family has also been investigated.

The other daughter of the Xu family was not seriously ill, but was defiled, so she lied and claimed to be seriously ill and unable to participate in the talent show.

The reason why Xu Qingya encountered such a thing was also largely related to Xu Ruyi.

It was Xu Qingya who wanted to frame Xu Ruyi, but Xu Ruyi turned the tables on her and ultimately suffered the consequences.

The Xu family's attitude towards Xu Ruyi has also changed significantly.

Xu Ruyi used to have little presence in the Xu family.

Moreover, Xu Ruyi did not always look like she does now.

It's as if her face changed ever since Xu Ruyi fell into the water.

Those who have always lived in the Xu family will still believe in their hearts that Xu Ruyi is just like that.

But the passersby outside, and the servants who had already left the Xu residence.

They remembered that Xu Ruyi wasn't like this before.

In the Xu household, everyone except Xu Qingya spoke highly of Xu Ruyi.

Everyone says that Xu Ruyi is a kind, gentle, and beautiful girl.

Even Xu Qingya's parents, who initially sided with their daughter, gradually began to support Xu Ruyi.

She felt that Xu Qingya was being unreasonable and had brought it upon herself.

Xu Qingya accused Xu Ruyi of ruining her life.

Xu Ruyi stole everything from her.

The old lady's doting affection, her parents' love, and her beauty—all of these were stolen by Xu Ruyi.

Everything changed after Xu Ruyi fell into the water.

The current Xu Ruyi is not the same Xu Ruyi as before.

Xu Ruyi must be a monster now.

Every time she tried to do something to Xu Ruyi, it ended up harming herself.

Xu Qingya also said that Xu Ruyi would talk to herself.

I don't know if it's a ritual or communication with some unseen being; it's terrifying.

Xu Ruyi was imprisoned.

I am interrogated every day.

At first, it was just verbal questioning.

Then they began to torture her.
