Chương 106: 106. Transparent Infertile poison.

The senior eunuchs who brought all the guests from Empress Dowager into the Palace complex where the Palace where Empress Dowager lived were all eunuchs who were under the direct leadership of Empress Dowager. These senior eunuchs were nurtured and came from the Jing Clan which was one of the increasingly influential clans under the guidance of the Jing Clan new Patriarch; now led by the elder brother of Empress Dowager; Jing Feicun.

"Greetings, Empress Dowager, Empress."

All the wives of the officials immediately gave respectful greetings according to Palace etiquette to the two most powerful women in the Palace.

"You all can rise now."

Empress Dowager as the woman with the highest position as the Mother of the present Emperor waved her hand after receiving the respect of all the women who had come to meet her invitation. The tea party held by Empress Dowager was held in the royal garden at her palace which was quite spacious and could accommodate all the wives of the officials she invited.

The royal garden where the Empress Dowager Palace was located was elegantly appointed and had the selected flowers that Jing Yuanmeng loved. Many of the flowers are of high value and are of a rare type. Most of the flowers were found and sent by Yu Wang, who liked to send the flowers to Empress Dowager during his campaign trips. Empress Dowager who loves all the flowers sent by her second son takes care of all the flowers herself with the help of some of her personal maids.

"Greetings, Empress Dowager, Empress."

Su Mingmei greeted her mother-in-law and Emperor's first wife with the gentle smile she had trained since childhood. Jing Yuanmeng glanced at the young woman who, according to her investigation, was the kind of woman who was not much different from the concubines who used to give her trouble.

It was possible that other people who were not accustomed to being involved in the intrigues of the Inner Palace would like this young woman who looked elegant and gentle, but Jing Yuanmeng, who had been in the Inner Palace for decades, could quickly find out what kind of young woman in front of him.

Despite knowing this young woman's true disposition, Empress Dowager couldn't easily unmask this young woman's face because she came from the Su Clan, and also Jing Yuanmeng had no evidence against this young woman. Empress Dowager took a deep breath as she thought that she had closed herself off for too long. Her information not that powerful as before. Much of her power and strength was transferred to her two sons when this woman was heartbroken by the death of her husband.

"You may sit, Concubine Ming."

Su Mingmei walked over to the seat prepared for her. Even though she was never visited again by the Emperor after she entered the Palace as a concubine, she still had a position as one of the Emperor's concubines so that this woman still had a seat in the Emperor's concubine area along with the other two Emperor's concubines. Looking around she realized that some of the official's wives looked jealous because they saw where she was sitting. Feeling proud, Su Mingmei subconsciously puffed out her full and filled chest.

The arrogant behavior that radiated from Su Mingmei's body was caught by Empress Dowager, making this woman in her forties feel even less fond of the concubine of her first son. The character of this young woman is far from the cute behavior of her legal daughter-in-law. Su Mingmei's behavior unconsciously earned Empress Song quite many positive points from her mother-in-law.

'Mistress, mistress, Yuteng can smell some potion I know before!'

Yuteng's voice in her mind made Su Qingyi, who was observing the beautiful flowers at Empress Dowager's royal garden, gasp in surprise. Her surprise acts made Nanny Mo and the other maids accompanying her to the tea party look worried. Waving her hand, Su Qingyi dispelled the anxiety that radiated from the eyes of her maids.

'Yuteng, what's potion can make you yell at your Mistress like this?' Su Qingyi feels vexed because his voice makes her shocked from her peaceful daze.

'Ah, forgive Yuteng, Mistress, Yuteng accidentally startled you.'

'Alright, this Mistress forgive you. So, what's happening?'

'Mistress, inside one of the teapots on that table, there is a potion that Yuteng recognizes from Mistress's past life.'

'Hm? Potion from my past life? What's potion?'

'That potion is a wicked poison.'

'Poison?!'

'Yes, the poison is quite strong for the people in this place, especially women. This poison is usually used for women to make them infertile forever. The name of this poison is Transparent Infertile poison.'

'This poison is so wicked.'

'Yes, it is. Mistress, what are you doing?'

Yuteng watched his Mistress rise from her seat across the seat of the Emperor's concubines. Su Qingyi's behavior confused Yuteng.

'This Mistress wants to know who the teapot for.'

Pretending to watch the flowers scattered in the royal garden like the wives of other officials, Su Qingyi watched the movement of the poison-filled teapot. Fortunately, the tea party held by Empress Dowager didn't require everyone to just sit around the table. They are all free to roam in the royal garden to observe the beautiful flowers scattered.
