"Okay, I've made all the arrangements. You will be the emperor's concubine tonight."
With the last glimmer of hope in her heart, Mingzhu asked:
"The Queen really agreed?"
"Agreed. I didn't agree at first, but then Shangguan Zhaorong helped you put in good words for a long time, and she agreed. Now Shangguan Zhaorong has made preparations for you to enter the palace." An Le said disapprovingly.
Mingzhu felt helpless:
'Are these women sick in their minds? I go to be their husband's little wife, and they actively intercede on my behalf and help me prepare?'
Thinking in her mind, Mingzhu said:
"Will they sincerely help me?"
Anle glared at her:
"You don't care if they are sincere or not, as long as they allow you to enter the palace now, after you enter the palace, start as soon as possible and finish everything you need to do within three to five days, otherwise everything will be solved!"
"Three to five days, so fast!" Mingzhu exclaimed.
Anle's face was gloomy:
"Then how long are you going to use it? Let me tell you, it doesn't matter if you are not in a hurry, I'm just afraid that the poison in your stomach won't be so patient!"
Mingzhu was startled and raised her head suddenly, staring straight at Anle. Anle saw Mingzhu's expression and smiled maliciously:
"By the way, I forgot to tell you, the poison in your stomach will take effect within seven days!"
Mingzhu only felt a burst of cold air running down her back and hitting her head:
"Seven days?" she murmured.
"That's right." Anle replied coldly.
Mingzhu tried to calm down:
"It took a lot of effort for you to send me to the palace. If I don't have a chance to kill you within seven days, you won't really let me poison you to death, right?" She wanted to remind Anle that it was not okay to poison herself to death easily.
wise.
Anle sneered again:
"You don't have to bargain with me. I just say this. The poison will take effect in seven days. It's up to you whether you want to die or live!"
After a moment of pause, Anle added:
"If you really want to take action, you'll have a chance tonight."
"I can meet the emperor tonight?" Mingzhu felt unbelievable. Is the procedure for meeting the emperor so simple?
Anle looked at Mingzhu again like he was looking at an idiot:
"Of course it's not easy to meet the emperor, but you are an exception today."
"Why?"
"Because today is your wedding night with the emperor!"
"Ah!" Mingzhu exclaimed again.
Anle seemed to have lost interest in Mingzhu's continuous fuss, so she just said lazily:
"Or, why do you think I went through so much trouble to send you to the palace to be a concubine? If it's like you think, just to be a confidant next to the queen, then when you can get close to the emperor, what kind of life will you have?
"
Mingzhu felt more and more that this woman in front of her was too scary. It was so common for her to talk about poisoning her father. Mingzhu felt that if it were an ordinary woman, she would be too scared to talk about killing chickens.
He wouldn't be so indifferent.
‘Seek the skin of a tiger.’ This idiom suddenly appeared in Mingzhu’s mind. Perhaps, what she is doing now is the best explanation for this word.
Now that we have boarded the pirate ship anyway, it is useless to think about anything else. Mingzhu sighed and decided to pay attention to the matter in front of him:
"Then when will you bring me the poison?"
"poison?"
"Since you asked me to poison people, you must give me medicine."
"Oh," Anle nodded, "I definitely can't give you medicine tonight, because you will be subject to strict interrogation today. If you are not careful, all your efforts will be wasted."
"Then what should I do?"
"Don't you have that kind of very effective incense? After a while, I will put the sachet in your room. In this way, when you go to bed at night, you can easily charm the emperor. As long as the emperor can't live without it,
I'm going to let you go and let you sleep with me every day, are you still afraid that you won't have a chance?" Anle said matter-of-factly.
Pearl is about to collapse again:
"You asked me to sleep with you? And you did it after taking some drug!"
Anle glanced at her:
"What's the matter? It's better to sleep with the emperor than to die, right? And you still have to sleep with the emperor. This is not a blessing that ordinary women can have, so you should be proud. Okay, you come with me now, I will take you there
A place.”
"Where to go?" Mingzhu didn't know what Anle was thinking about.
"Why are you so stupid! Shangguan Zhaorong's place can't be cleaned for you for a while. You have to find a place to stay during the day. Could it be that you just want to poke here and attract others' attention?
?Hurry up and leave." After Anle said that, he turned around and left. Mingzhu had no choice but to follow closely.
On one side, Mingzhu felt that she had fallen into dire straits, while on the other side, the men who had been paying close attention to her movements were also shocked by this sudden change and became confused.
The first person to get the news was Li Longji. He had many eyes, ears and eyes in the palace, so almost as soon as Shangguan Wan'er left Queen Wei's place, the news was sent to Li Longji.
Even though Li Longji was extremely calm, his expression almost changed when he heard this!
'Fang Mingzhu has already received Empress Wei's approval and entered the palace as a concubine? Doesn't that mean she will sleep with her tonight? What kind of joke is she kidding!'
Li Longji has always been used to Fang Mingzhu's endless weird ideas, so when he learned about this incident, he naturally shifted the responsibility to Mingzhu and determined that she was secretly manipulating all this, but she
What is the purpose of doing this? Could it be that she wants to make a quick decision and poison the emperor tonight?
Of course, it would be okay if Mingzhu had this idea, but the question is, is she really sure that she will succeed tonight? If she cannot succeed, not to mention that her life will be in danger, and she may also
There is a risk of losing her virginity! Did Fang Mingzhu not think of all this?
Li Longji was so anxious that he wished he could rush to the harem and ask questions, but this was the inner courtyard of the palace after all. There were thousands of houses. Even if he was anxious, he would have to wait until the next court before he could find an excuse to go to the harem. Li Longji
He had already thought about it, and after a while, he went directly to Shangguan Wan'er, because he already knew that Shangguan Wan'er had made every effort to promote this matter, and now Wan'er was cleaning up Mingzhu's new house, so he wanted to
Let's take a look at what Shangguan Wan'er is planning.
When Li Longji was restless, he suddenly saw "Wu Sansi" coming towards him. Li Longji was stunned, and he immediately remembered that Wu Sansi was a hunting fox pretending to be a hunting fox, so he could tell him about Mingzhu. Look at him
What's the point?
The two deliberately exchanged pleasantries, and after everyone around them gradually dispersed, Hunter Fox asked in a low voice:
"Your Majesty, how am I dressed?"
"Very vivid and very good. Where are you going now?" Li Longji asked.
"When I went to Empress Wei, I wasn't worried about the pearl entering the palace, so I thought the palace would take care of her."
Li Longji said:
"So, you still don't know what's going on in the palace now?"
"What happened again? About Mingzhu?"
"So, you really don't know?" Li Longji told everything that happened in the harem that morning.
After listening to this, Hunting Fox pondered for a moment:
"If that's the case, then things would be simple."
"Easy?"
"Yes, since it is certain that the emperor will definitely go to Mingzhu tonight, let's just work together inside and outside to kill him. Wouldn't everything be solved?" Liehu said with a very indifferent attitude.
Li Longji really didn't know what to say. This dear fellow took things like assassinating the king and killing him too simply.
But Li Longji didn't want to argue with Xie Hu, because firstly, this was the inner courtyard of the palace, which was really not suitable for discussing such topics. Secondly, Li Longji had already discovered that these patron saints seemed to only listen to the words of the Fang family.
So even if he wanted to stop him, it would be useless. After thinking about it, Li Longji said:
"I happen to be going to Shangguan Wan'er now. Why don't you go with me? Anyway, the pearl is not at Queen Wei's place now. If you go to see Queen Wei alone, it will be easy to expose your flaws."
Liehu felt that what Li Longji said made sense, so he said:
"That's fine, I just don't know if it's appropriate for me to go to Shangguan Wan'er's place?"
Li Longji looked back at Xie Hu with a strange expression, but after only a moment, he returned to normal:
"Really, I forgot that you are not really Wu Sansi. Fortunately you asked, otherwise something would have happened in a while."
"What's wrong?" Liehu was puzzled.
Li Longji patiently explained:
"You are Wu Sansi now, and Shangguan Wan'er is your old lover. You first had an affair with Wan'er, and then Wan'er introduced you to be Empress Wei's lover. And it is said that until now, you and Wan'er still have a relationship.
The lotus roots are broken and the threads are connected."
Liehu looked at Li Longji in horror. At this moment, he felt that in all the years he had spent wandering around in the world, he was not as dangerous as this moment - facing his lover, and two lovers at that!
Liehu calmed down and tried to make his voice sound normal:
"You just said that it is said that the two are still connected. What do you mean?" Liehu felt that he had to figure this out. Otherwise, how could he face Shangguan Wan'er?
After hearing his question, Li Longji smiled awkwardly:
"It means that no one knows whether Wu Sansi and Shangguan Wan'er still have an affair!"
"this--"
"But don't worry, I have a way." Li Longji saw the sudden change in Liehu's face and quickly comforted him.
"What can I do?"
"The best way for a man to deal with his old lover is to show that he never forgets her. So, as long as you show interest in Shangguan Wan'er, there should be no problem."
