Chapter 380: A chess piece doomed to be abandoned



She did not even raise her head and just continued to stand in front of Ji Yang who finally with a thoughtful smile on his face said, " Xiao Lin, don\'t you think that Ji Yu had gotten more and more sadder with each passing day from the day the Queen came to the imperial harem?

She is the cause of Ji Yu\'s anger and grief, if she is gone then Ji Yu will be back to her lively self…would you not help your dear missy? What if this continues and Ji Yu\'s heart breaks again?"

" No!" Xiao Lin suddenly spoke up as she raised her head and looked at Ji Yang with a desperate look on her face as she said, " There is no way I will allow my missy\'s heart to be broken if something happens to her then I …then I will never be able to forgive myself. She is my everything, I will do anything for her even if… even if …"

" Even if you have to poison the queen?" Ji Yang finished for her and though Xiao Lin\'s pupils contracted at his words, she still nodded speaking of which she knew that his mistress was physically and mentally exhausted these days because of the queen.

If she was to take care of the queen then her mistress will be back to her lively self …as long as it was related to the happiness of her missy, she was willing to do anything for her!

" I...I am willing, I will do anything for my missy, no matter what," Xiao Lin agreed and Ji Yang\'s smile broadened as he nodded at Xiao Lin whose head was still bowed in front of him and then said with a praising note in his voice, "Commendable, absolutely commendable!" He enunciated each word with a clap of his hands as he turned to look at Ji Mo who took the poison that they took for Ji Yu and threw it in front of Xiao Lin whose eyes widened when she saw the pouch that her missy was carrying ever since the morning.

\' This …This is the same pouch that her missy embroidered earlier at the beginning of the autumn, why was it here? Was this pouch used by her missy to keep the poison?\' Xiao Lin was rather surprised when she saw the pouch that belonged to her mistress in front of her feet, she never thought that one day she will saw her mistress scheming like those concubines in the harem.

\' Wh..when did her Highness start to change like this?\' Xiao Lin questioned as she looked at the pouch with a complicated expression on her face. She thought that her mistress was kind and above all but she was actually carrying poison with her. Was this a plan that was something her mistress came up with and told her father?

Ji Yang knew that with the pouch that was lying in front of Xiao Lin\'s feet, half of his plan had already succeeded which was why he smiled at Xiao Lin and then said with a troubled voice, " I know that you must be shocked upon seeing this, I was just as shocked as well.

But Ji Yu is a woman who loves his majesty more than anything in this world, it\'s understandable that she would want to confront and end those who come in between her love.

Xiao Lin, I am giving you this task because I am worried that if you do not take this matter into your hands, then Ji Yu will be the one who would take it by her own hands." He paused and then with a sly look in his eyes he added,

" I am sure that you will not like to see Ji Yu\'s hands covered with blood just like me, will you Xiao Lin?"

" No, I don\'t want her highness to do something so sinful," Xiao Lin shook her head and agreed with Ji Yang who smiled further and then strode towards her where he came to a stop next to the maid and looked at her with an expression that was full of calculations before he continued to speak, " Which is why for the sake of protecting Ji Yu\'s innocence, you will be taking on this task…do not worry it\'s not difficult, you just need to steal the uniform of the maids who are in charge of pouring water and preparing bath of her majesty and then pour these flower petals in the water and leave, its simple right?

You don\'t even need to make sure that her majesty will have to drink or eat something, you can do it, right? For Ji Yu\'s sake?"

" I...I certainly can," Xiao Lin nodded as she agreed and picked up the pouch that was lying on the ground and clenched it tightly in her hands before she bowed to Ji Yang and then walked out of the tent. The three people waited for her to leave before Ji Mo turned to look at his father and asked,

" Are you going to let that maid go just like that? She can become a liability in case she knows what we are up to."

" Who says that I am going to let her go?" Ji Yang snickered as he turned to look at his son with his arms behind his back as he smiled sinisterly.

" That maid was doomed to die from the second she stepped inside this tent and just like always her death will be pinned on the Liu family\'s head, let\'s see if Ji Yu stays as calm and naive after losing the one person whom she thought was the closest to her."

He then turned to look at Old Grand Dowager Empress and then asked with a polite voice, " Aunt, you have prepared another maid right? We cannot have another maid as naive as this one who would not be able to guide Ji Yu."

Old Grand Dowager Empress sipped her tea calmly as if she and her nephew were not discussing manipulating her grand niece and were talking about the weather and how they were going to spend the rest of the day.

" You do not have to worry about that," Old Grand Dowager Empress blew over her tea and then sighed with a smile on her face that looked too cruel for a woman of her age. " I have already looked for a maid who will make sure that Ji Yu knows what she needed to do and what she does not need to do, unlike this maid who is stupider than a donkey, that maid is smarter.

She will guide Ji Yuin on the path to becoming the perfect Empress while killing that annoying little bitch of the Liu family."

She paused and then added, " And if she fails then we also have priest on our side, he will definitely take that woman down in a jiffy like this." She snapped her fingers which caused Ji Mo and Ji Yang to laugh as they nodded and agreed along with Old Grand Dowager Empress.

" You are right, your majesty," said Ji Yang to Old Grand Dowager Empress with a satisfied smile. " The Ji family will rise to the top again and again while the stupid emperors will continue to blame the Liu family for everything not even knowing that they were nothing but puppets in the hands of the Ji family from the start."

" That is what makes this entire thing even sweeter, Ah Yang," said Old Grand Dowager Empress with a glittering smile that was too sweet and full of delight and victory. " Even if we are behind the scene we are the ones who rule the imperial city and no one has ever caught us. A perfect villain is the one who is never caught after all."

" You are right again, your majesty." Ji Yang\'s smile was full of contentment as he heaved a sigh of relief and then said, " I hope that maid succeeds, even if Hui Ying will not die at least she will lose her ability to give birth to an heir, that way we will be able to add another concubine from our family."

" You do not have to worry about such things for now Ah Yang, just make sure that Ji Yu paves the way for our family to sit on the throne of the Empress," said Old Grand Dowager Empress as she placed the cup on the table and then said, " After that, it will not take us long to replace and kill the barren Empress and place a fertile one from our family."
