She stared blankly at the man in front of her. Only then did she have a chance to take a closer look at him. She discovered that he was very handsome, with sword-like eyebrows, but his eyes were very sharp.
Although he was wearing casual clothes, he still looked dignified and imposing.
Just as she was about to stand up, a figure pounced on her faster than her.
It was Qin who had been hiding in another corner.
She was seen hanging on the prison door, stretching out her hands as far as she could, trying to grab a corner of the elegant man's robe, but it was in vain.
"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. I will never do this again..." Qin said in a trembling voice.
Mingyue was shocked when she heard her words. "Concubine?" Could this woman be Emperor Yao's previous concubine? All concubines were imprisoned here, so was Jiang Ziyi also here?
She looked around hurriedly, but did not find the figure she wanted to see.
Eunuch Lin, who was standing behind Ji Chenan, took out a small box from his pocket and presented it respectfully.
The box was only the size of a palm, and the outer shell was carved with intricate patterns.
After opening it, there were two round pills inside.
Before they could ask, Ji Chenan took the box from Eunuch Lin and asked them, "Do you want to go out?"
"I want to!" Mingyue and Qin shouted in unison.
I’m afraid that if I miss this opportunity, I’ll never have another chance.
Ji Chenan slowly raised the small wooden box in his hand and said in a deliberately deep voice, "This is the magic pill I requested from Baiyun Temple."
"Each of you will take one pill. If you can resist falling asleep after taking it, it means that you are the one destined to bear my child."
When Qin heard this, she asked anxiously, "What about Jiang Ziyi?"
Hearing the familiar name coming out of Qin's mouth, Mingyue also pricked up her ears. She had been trying to find out the whereabouts of Jiang Ziyi since she came to Yao Country, but she had never heard anything.
When Ji Chenan heard this question, he laughed nonchalantly, "She is not the real Princess of Shen State. She was expelled from the palace long ago. The one next to you is the real Princess of Shen State."
When Qin heard the first half of Ji Chenan's sentence, the joy in her eyes could hardly be suppressed, but when she heard the second half, her face suddenly darkened, and her eyes swept towards Mingyue like a flying knife. The jealousy in her eyes was like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, full of danger.
His Majesty had finally driven away that imposter Jiang Ziyi, and now another princess came to compete with her for the chance to stay with His Majesty. How could she tolerate this?
Qin quickly reached out to grab the two pills.
Mingyue was still confused. She was just about to sigh that Jiang Ziyi, that bitch, had been expelled from the palace, when she heard about the destined person, the destined person who could bear the child? Wasn't Emperor Yao unable to have a queen?
Concubine Duan had already snatched one and quickly swallowed it.
Mingyue was still a little cautious.
She said awkwardly, "What will happen if it's the destined one?"
Ji Chenan glanced meaningfully between Qin and Mingyue, and said with a curl of his lips: "That is my queen."
His voice was deep and magnetic, and the answer he gave was extremely tempting.
Mingyue was shocked. If she became the queen, wouldn’t she be able to go out?
But she was still a little wary of the medicine. If it was poisonous...
But she observed Qin for a long time and found that Qin had no reaction.
Eunuch Lin handed her another pill. She picked it up and examined it. This pill was no different from the one Qin had just swallowed.
And Qin is fine now, so it should be, there is no poison...
If she succeeds, she will have a chance to become the queen and won't be looked down upon anymore!
Thinking of this, she made up her mind and swallowed the pill in her hand.
Seeing her swallow it, an imperceptible smile appeared on Ji Chenan's lips, but soon, the smile disappeared in the darkness of the dungeon.
Now Qin and Mingyue have each swallowed a pill. Whoever can hold on and stay awake will become the destined person for Emperor Yao.
Therefore, both of them are highly concentrated at this moment.
Just when Qin was feeling proud that she didn't feel sleepy at all, a strong feeling of dizziness came over her. She held her temples and shook her head, but found that the dizziness was even worse.
She looked at Mingyue as if nothing had happened.
Could it be that she was going to lose to the princess again...
A strong sense of unwillingness raged from the bottom of her heart. She stumbled towards Mingyue and tried to strangle her. Seeing her ferocious look, Mingyue quickly dodged backwards.
Finally, when she had nowhere to retreat, Concubine Duan fell heavily to the ground and fainted.
At this moment, Eunuch Lin bowed to her and said, "Congratulations."
The jailer quickly opened the cell door and ushered her out with a smile on his face. "My dear lady, I have failed to recognize the great man."
All this happened too suddenly. Before Mingyue could figure out what was going on, she saw the tall and strong man smiling and extending his hand towards her.
"come over."
But just as she was about to walk towards Emperor Yao, she felt dizzy. After a while, she fell heavily to the ground and fainted.
Ji Chenan looked down at the two people lying on the ground and pointed at Qin. "Send her back to the Qin Mansion and tell her that I spare her life because of our past friendship. She is not allowed to enter the palace in the future."
Eunuch Lin quickly agreed, but based on his many years of experience with His Majesty, he knew in his heart that His Majesty would never truly spare Qin, and that he was keeping her now only because she was still useful.
