Chapter 116 You can do anything to me

Li Yan'er knelt down and pleaded, "Eunuch Zhao, please plead with the Emperor for me. It's not that I don't want things to work out, but with the Defense Commissioner here, I can't find an opportunity..."

Eunuch Zhao scoffed, "What kind of Defense Commissioner? He won't live more than a few days. The poison in his body should be taking effect soon. He won't have the energy to control you anymore. Be smart. If you still can't get things done, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Yes, this servant understands. This servant will certainly fulfill His Majesty's orders." Li Yan'er had no other excuses and could only kneel down to express her gratitude.

With a satisfied look on his face, Eunuch Zhao raised his voice and said in a pretentious tone, "His Majesty sent you here to take good care of Prince Wen. Prince Anshun plotted a rebellion and deserved to die. However, His Majesty is benevolent and has not only spared the lives of everyone in Prince Anshun's household, but also pitied Prince Wen's still-ill health. You must take good care of Prince Wen, or you will be severely punished."

Li Yan'er replied emphatically, "Yes."

Only then did Eunuch Zhao and his entourage leave arrogantly.

After he left, a nimble figure leaped onto the wall by Li Yan'er's window, quickly making its way into Wen Zhiming's courtyard.

Li Yan'er was unaware that her conversation with Eunuch Zhao had been overheard. The Emperor had only given her two months to conceive, and since pregnancy takes at least a month to be detected, she had to win over Prince Wen within a month.

This request was incredibly difficult for her, but Eunuch Zhao said that the Defense Commissioner wouldn't live much longer and wouldn't have the energy to stop her, so it would be much easier.

Li Yan'er understood very well that if she disobeyed the emperor, she would surely die, but if she obeyed the emperor's orders, although there was danger, she might be able to forge a path to wealth and honor.

So she didn't think about it for long before making a decision.

Li Yan'er became active in the mansion again, dressing up in her finest clothes every day and passing by Wen Shizi's courtyard gate more than a dozen times a day.

Four or five days passed, and Li Yan'er was surprised to find that she saw the Defense Envoy less and less often. On the few occasions they did meet, the Defense Envoy was pale and listless, like an old man on his deathbed.

It seems that what Eunuch Zhao said was true; the Defense Commissioner really doesn't have long to live and no longer has the energy to control her.

On the contrary, she had more and more opportunities to see Prince Wen, and Prince Wen saw that she was no longer crazy, and sometimes he would stare at her for a long time.

Today, I heard that the Defense Commissioner vomited blood and several doctors were summoned to see him. Most of the people in the mansion went to the Defense Commissioner's courtyard.

Li Yan'er knew that her opportunity had arrived.

She instructed two maids to attend to her during her bath. A large bag of spices was placed in the tub. She had heard from the palace masters that these spices had aphrodisiac effects, and that very few men could resist them after smelling them.

Li Yan'er patiently soaked in the bathtub for half an hour, until the water had cooled down completely before getting up and dressing. She deliberately chose a semi-transparent gauze dress, which half-concealed her slender body and was extremely alluring.

He wore a loosely draped robe over his clothes; if the ties in the middle were pulled gently, the entire robe would fall to the ground.

Then she had two maids do her hair and makeup, and after a long time, she looked at herself in the mirror and finally nodded in satisfaction.

By this time, dusk had passed, and the moonlight was hazy.

Li Yan'er carefully avoided the guards and tiptoed into Wen Zhiming's courtyard.

She pulled her outer robe down a little, revealing a glimpse of snow-white skin. Recalling her experience here last time, Li Yan'er unconsciously touched the back of her neck, where it still seemed a little sore.

Slightly shaking her neck, Li Yan'er's gaze hardened, and she strode forward.

Tonight, she can only succeed; she absolutely cannot fail!

Otherwise, this delicate neck wouldn't just be in pain, it would be lost forever.

With a strong belief, Li Yan'er slowly pushed open the door and immediately looked behind it.

Good, there's no one behind the door.

It seems she was overthinking it; the magistrate has fallen ill, and no one will stand in her way tonight.

Her gaze shifted to the center of the room, where she immediately saw Prince Wen Zhiming sitting at the table, intently playing with a cup.

He poured a cup of tea from one cup to another, and then from another cup back to the first, over and over again, making water all over the table and his clothes.

Such a tall person doing such a foolish thing should seem very childish and ridiculous, but Wen Zhiming's sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and his outstanding appearance, made him appear graceful and charming in Li Yan'er's eyes.

His prominent Adam's apple and slender fingers, in particular, made her involuntarily swallow.

Seemingly noticing her gaze, Wen Zhiming turned his head to look at her, his eyes filled with confusion and his expression puzzled.

"Who are you?"

The young master had seen her many times, yet he still couldn't remember her identity. Li Yan'er felt a pang of bitterness, but with a forced smile, she boldly stepped forward.

“Your Highness, I was sent by the Emperor to serve you. I will do anything you ask. If you wish, I can be your woman. You can do anything to me.”

As she spoke, she knelt down, pulling her already low-cut outer robe down even further, revealing almost half of her two snow-white breasts.

Li Yan'er's face turned bright red as she looked up and carefully observed Wen Zhiming's expression.

Wen Zhiming showed no desire whatsoever.

He stared blankly at Li Yan'er, repeating her words: "I can do anything for you? Really?"

Li Yan'er heard hope in those words, and she nodded vigorously twice, boldly reaching her fingers to climb onto Wen Zhiming's legs.

Such long and strong legs, they look very powerful.

"Your Highness, I will serve you well, just like the former Princess Consort did."

Her hand missed its target; Wen Zhiming quickly dodged and stood several steps away from her.

Li Yan'er wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that the young master's speed was unbelievably fast, and there seemed to be a momentary coldness in his eyes.

The cold, as if covered in ice and snow, seemed poised to take her life in an instant.

But when she looked closely, she found that Wen Zhiming was still just staring at her blankly, as if he were looking at something he couldn't understand.

He's just a fool; it's really not easy for him to understand women.

Thinking of this, Li Yan'er regained some courage, stood up, and gently pulled the sash of her outer robe, leaving only the semi-transparent gauze covering her youthful yet alluring body.

"Young Master, let's go to the bed and let me serve you properly. You can do whatever you want with me..."
