"醒了？看来本宫的赐毒让你挺硬气。"尖锐的女子声音带着毫不掩饰的轻蔑，斜倚在软榻上，妆容精致得不像话，眼神却像淬了毒的冰锥。

我认得她。大燕国出了名的恶毒贵妃，皇上原配的妻，如今却成了人人喊打的过街老鼠。若非亲眼所见，我绝不会相信，这位连皇上面都少见，如今却被贬到冷宫的贵妃，竟有脸在我面前摆谱。

我掀开蒙在脸上的破布条，刺目的阳光顿让我眯起眼。身下是硬邦邦的木板，身上盖的不过是一层发霉的旧布单。那股霉味，像极了古代乡下人住的土坯房。

" Pharmaceuticals in the 21st century are quite effective, but it's clear the empress dowager's 'poison' wasn't very potent." 我扯出一个比哭还难看的笑，故意压低了声音," Aurora, do your crimes deserve this suffering?

The empress dowager's face changed instantly, as if they had been accused of being stupid. "You... You're actually mocking me?" she snarled, leaping off the couch like a cornered animal.

See, this was my first mistake. On the 21st century's international legal awards night, I, a first-class lawyer, capably defended clients accused of murder and corruption. Now, in the Ming Dynasty, I wake up in a cold palace, accused of witchcraft and poisoning His Majesty, only to be poisoned by my own husband and ridiculed by his mistress.
