Mana: Before The Rise 236 Imperial Dr. Yen 2

"….." Quietly they both left, Rachel had never gotten conformation that they would do what they where told. She sat down next to the unconscious Empress and pulled out some medical creams. She slowly, this body mask can completely clean the pours and toxins in the skin, it was enhanced and after ten minutes of it hardening and drying.

Once pealed off and washed, the skin will look glossy and pure.

Rachel turned the timer and sat it down before she grabbed out medical book herself and began to read. After ten minutes had pa.s.sed, the maidservants hadn't returned, she stood up and brought out a bowl and water before she and her shadows gently pealed off the mask that covered the female leads body.

And then giving her a good wash before putting it all away. Looking at the Female leads face that had a peaceful expression. Finished, Rachel stretched and continued with her grooming process since she had nothing better to do while she was thinking about the situation, she was in.

Since the Emperor has not shown up even once, she can a.s.sume some things and even make a guess. She found one solution she could agree on. The male lead, first few concubines was forced on him, he had a type of hatred towards him, in the first opening of the book, he had one of his concubines killed. He became interested in the female because she was innocent.

He evaluated her character and dimed her a child, one blind of the wrongs of the world. The Female lead is fourteen Afterall. He courted her and made her Empress; she was his s.h.i.+eld against women and one he didn't hate touching. He was her excuse to stop taking in Concubines, to also get rid of as many as he could.

He still had 12 more Concubines, eleven now because he heard the wails of one being killed of while she was walking to the Empress Palace. The answer is that he didn't love her on bit, a lot of this can be true due to her father's att.i.tude. The Empress was sick, why, is he calmly reading books. Rachel had only stopped grooming the unconscious girl, when she started to look like supermodel.

"Imperial Concubine Ru arrives" Announced some maidservants, but Rachel didn't make a single move as the doors opened and a women popped In, with all smiles and malice. She was accompanied by two other maidservants and on of them was holding a try of soup. They suddenly stopped when she noticed a Reading 'Rachel' not even bothering to great her, Making her mad.

"You their girl, how dare you not great this Concubine" Said her maidservant running up to her and was about ready to slap her. When she was tripped by Rachel's lose foot and fell head fist into the floor.

"….." Without lifting her head, she continued to read. Making the Concubine even madder, "Servants come drag this woman out and beat her." Said the Concubine. Rachel closed her book and lid it onto if her medicine box. She went directly toward the maid servant with the soup picked it up and before they knew it Rachel had shoved the poisonous soup down the Concubine's throat.

Concubine Ru went pale along with her maidservants, she started to vomit blood and was foaming out the mouth before pa.s.sing out. At that moment more servants showed up to witness to see Concubine Ru and the ground. Her two maid servants standing their useless while tearing up and Rachel back over by the Empress reading her book.

One of them Sobered up. "That Slave there, has murdered, her highness. Arrest her" The Concubines maidservants pointed at Rachel.

"….." Rachel ignored the cries and continued to sit by the female lead while reading the medical book.

"The Emperor has arrived!" said a Eunuch voice, just as the servants where approaching her. They froze and began to prostrate themselves. Rachel wasn't fazed and continued as of she didn't hear, when the young man who is obviously the male lead walked with golden robes on him. Looking inside he noticed the situation an saw one of his Concubines collapsed on the ground, servants prostrating themselves on the ground and a women reading over to the side, sitting closely to his Empress.

The glance at his Empress he saw that she looked healthy. A young women with her back turned to him, he can a.s.sume that she was his imperial Doctor's daughter who travels around the world. The old man would often talk about how proud he is off her.

"Hei Yen, Correct. Your Father has told me a lot about you" was the first thing the male lead said to her, seemingly not bothered about her lack of etiquette.

"Calycanthus Posion, found in the Northern Yan State, the effects are an Unconscious state depending on the victim. It will not Kill the Victim but severely weaken them so that they could be killed by other means like a natural cold. But this can only happen of the victim who is unconscious body's hasn't been well taken care of.

Drawing out the Poison is easy, and she is likely to wake in within the hour. " Rachel closed her book and stood up.

"Any questions, if not I'll be taking my leave." Rachel turned to the male lead, her expression clearly bored and unenthusiastic.

"Your majesty, Please Seek Justice for our Lady" The two maids bowed up and down till their foreheads bleed.

"Tsk" Rachel couldn't help. "Two useless maids having nothing better to do" She said quietly.

"This slave has poisoned our Lady" The maid servant pointed at Rachel who was giving them a disgusted face.

"Young Lady Hei, Would you mind explaining" said the male lead, towering over her.

Rachel didn't back away but used her sleeve to cover her mouth as her gazed showed a more disgusted look. "I had only feed her the soup she planned to give the Empress and nothing more. The Concubine had fallen after drinking the soup she had brought in. As for what was in the soup perhaps her maidservants know, Afterall I can be truly checked by the Court Physicians along with my medicine box for poisons elements. The Soup as well can also be checked, as well as the Concubines Personnel Sachet, and her maidservants. My innocence would be proven with that no."

"…." The two wimpy maidservants went quiet.

"But, Your majesty I think most things will be solved if you check your Concubine Personnel Sachet. The Herb she is using is very disgusting. I can Hardly stand; I wonder how such a thing was even allowed in the palace in the first place." Rachel glared back.
