C709 Emperor 709's disappointment and heartache

She did not even dare look at Yan Shuo's eyes, and only carried the medicine to the table.

"Your majesty, drink the medicine while it's hot."

"Alright."

Yan Shuo replied. Without saying a word, he picked up the medicine Yun Jiao Rong gave him and brought it to his mouth.

Yun Jiao Rong looked at Yan Shuo, his fists clenched even harder, and his body trembled even more violently.

Right at the moment Yan Shuo's lips touched the black medicinal juice, Yun Jiao Rong still charged forward and knocked the medicine out of his hand.

The moment the black liquid made contact with the ground, a low sizzling sound could be heard. Very soon, white foam began to form on the ground, and a small pit was formed where the liquid had touched the ground.

The intensity of this poison could be seen.

Yan Shuo looked at the poison on the ground and could not believe what he saw. He looked at Yun Jiao Rong's painful face and felt a sharp pain in his eyes.

At this time, when the guards outside heard the sound of the bowls falling to the ground, they immediately rushed in. Before they could even enter the hall, they were reacted to Yan Shuo and shouted at him, "All of you, get out!"

With that said, he tore off the tablecloth on the table and threw it on the ground, blocking the area where he had poured the medicinal juice.

From an outsider's point of view, this action was because Kaiser had lost his temper and flipped the tablecloth.

After the people outside heard Kaiser's shout, they all left. No one dared to come in, and some people were curious as to how Yun Jiao Rong had managed to make the emperor unhappy.

After all, the emperor had rushed to the very core of his being. How could he suddenly be so angry that his table was overturned?

After everyone had left, Yan Shuo looked at Yun Jiao Rong again, his red eyes filled with pain. "Why … Rong Er, tell me, why did you … "

It wasn't that he couldn't guess some things, but he wasn't willing to guess what happened to her. He kept deceiving himself and even risked his life to see if Rong Er would still poison him again.

Yun Jiao Rong did not speak, she only looked at him silently, shaking her head non-stop. Her eyes were filled with pain.

"Why did you poison us? Tell me, Rong Er..."

Yan Shuo was not much better off than Yun Jiao Rong at the moment, he was also filled with pain, looking at Yun Jiao Rong, this woman that he loved, how could he be so ruthless and poison him.

"Haven't we loved you enough, Rong Er?"

When he asked her this question, his eyes were full of hurt and heartache.

He had always felt that he loved her with all his heart. Even if she had no feelings for him, he had never forced her, and he thought that even if she could not give him the same love, she would at least not harm him.

Therefore, even when he found out that he had been drugged, even if all his doubts were pointed at her, he was unwilling to suspect her.

Even if she had personally given him medicine just now, he would never have imagined that she would actually poison him.

After having the first time, there would actually be a second time.

He looked at Yun Jiao Rong with a pained expression. At this moment, he didn't know how else he could face her, how he could face the feelings he had towards her after so many years.

If just now, she didn't have to endure it any longer, would he already be dead?

Should he be happy now, happy that she was being merciful to him?

Yun Jiao Rong was unable to say a single word. When she looked at Yan Shuo and saw the pained and disappointed expression on his face, she felt as if her heart had been cut by a knife, but she knew clearly, that this was the result that she deserved. From the moment she intended to receive the medicine Liu Qian Xun gave her to take, she had already mentally prepared herself.

She wanted Yan Shuo to see with his own eyes what kind of person she was, and how she made him see the wrong person with his own eyes. After disappointing Yan Shuo completely, he wouldn't feel too bad about her leaving him in the future, when she left this world.

"Answer me, Rong Er, why are you doing this to me?"

He frowned in pain and lowered his voice so that no one outside would hear what was going on inside.

Fortunately, the guards by his side didn't like being seen by outsiders when he was alone with Yun Jiao Rong. When he told Wang De to leave, the guards also followed him out.

Therefore, other than Rong Er and himself, no one knew what happened in the imperial study.

Even now, he still could not bear to punish Yun Jiao Rong for his crimes. He was not angry, nor was he angry.

"Has it always been me putting on an act for so many years?"

His voice was hoarse as he looked at Yun Jiao Rong. Seeing Yun Jiao Rong's painful face, he felt even worse than she did.

"Tell me, what has I done to let you down?"

The current Yan Shuo looked very pitiful. He did not care about the throne, did not care about how others evaluated him, but he cared about Rong Er, cared about her everything. This woman, whom he cared about with everything, had broken his heart to pieces like this.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty."

Yun Jiao Rong kneeled down in front of Yan Shuo, "I plead for Your Majesty to sentence Rong Er to death."

Yan Shuo looked at her, the expression on his face changed many times. In the end, he suddenly let out a soft laugh.

"Being with me makes you feel worse than death?"

Yun Jiao Rong lowered his head and did not look at Yan Shuo, and only repeated, "Please punish me, Your Majesty."

Yan Shuo couldn't understand, since she hated him so much that she wanted to kill him, why should she hand him over to him?

He thought that between him and Rong Er, their cultivation would finally succeed. He even thought in his heart that if even the Queen Mother's officials wouldn't agree to it, he would just abandon the throne, and as long as Rong Er was by his side.

But now, it seemed that all of this was just an act on his part.

After a while, Yan Shuo calmed himself down, looked at Yun Jiao Rong, and said: "Tell me, why? "Why did you poison me?"

Yun Jiao Rong was silent for a moment, then heavily kowtowed three times to Yan Shuo, and then, kneeled straight in front of Yan Shuo, "Your majesty, Rong Er is not a person worthy of your love. Please forget about Rong Er, please punish him, Rong Er is sorry."

Yan Shuo's fist, which was placed on the table, was clenched tightly, and loosened itself bit by bit. After a long while, Yan Shuo's voice finally sounded softly, "What's your relationship with the People from the Divine Artefact Hall?"

However, she was not surprised that Yan Shuo could guess the relationship between her and the Shen Ji Hall. As long as she was connected to the Tutor Yun, he would be able to think of the previous dynasty and the previous dynasty, and he would be able to think of the Shen Ji Hall as well.

Yun Jiao Rong laughed bitterly, he looked at Yan Shuo in a daze for a moment, there was a trace of attachment in his eyes, and then, as if he had made his decision, he said: "I am the daughter of Kaiser, the master of Shen Ji Hall, my biological brother."
