Chapter 86 Why is he still pretending to be a gentleman?
[Ding! Host, Concubine Xian not only plans to ask the emperor to come and see you and He Yulin's secret meeting tonight, but also prepares aphrodisiac incense for you.]
Just when Doctor Zhong was writing a prescription for Sikong Yan, the Heavenly Book suddenly issued a warning: [As long as you go to Yu Garden for the appointment, she will prove your crime of adultery!]
[Tonight's opportunity is so rare, she wants to kill me! But I'm not made of clay! If you dare to make plans against me, she will experience the feeling of being framed firsthand! 】
Shen Chaoyan saw Doctor Zhong packing up his medicine box and preparing to leave, so she hurriedly stepped forward and said politely, "Doctor Zhong, I want to ask you something."
"Please tell me, Your Majesty."
Shen Chaoyan cleared her throat, "To be honest, I also have a friend. Her sisters want to use drugs to harm her. Do you have any medicine that can refresh the mind and prevent people from being harmed by drugs?"
There were indeed several kinds of herbs in Zhong Shiwen's medicine box that had particularly strong smells, and when combined together, they could keep people awake while being drugged.
So, he opened the medicine box, grabbed a few herbs from the bottom layer, and wrapped them up skillfully, "There are camphor, borneol, cardamom..."
He said a series of herbal names, all of which were herbs with very strong smells.
After saying that, he also specifically reminded Shen Chaoyan, "Your Majesty, this medicine has a strong smell. If you are drugged, smelling the medicine bag at the first time can make you sober. But if you are fine, don't smell it!"
Before he finished speaking, Shen Chaoyan had already put the medicine bag under her nose and took a sip.
Damn!
This feeling of enlightenment is more sour and refreshing than swallowing a bowl of mustard in one gulp!
Shen Chaoyan's tears were smoked out, and she could only stare at her big watery eyes and said to Zhong Shiwen, "Thank you, Doctor Zhong."
"Your Majesty, you are too polite. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first." Zhong Shiwen picked up the medicine box and slid away at a brisk pace.
Walking out of the hall, feeling the night breeze blowing on his face, Zhong Shiwen raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
To treat the emperor and the concubines, one must be smart enough, but also be able to pretend to be ignorant.
For example, when the emperor and Concubine Hua used the excuse of examining their "friends", he just pretended that he couldn't hear anything.
After Doctor Zhong left, Shen Chaoyan took a long time to calm down.
She wiped away the tears and snot from the smoke, and seeing that it was almost time, she turned to Sikong Yan and said, "Your Majesty, I have something I would like to ask you for help with."
Sikong Yan raised his eyebrows, "What is it?"
Shen Chaoyan immediately handed the letter that the little palace maid gave her in Yu Garden today to the man, "Your Majesty, this unsigned letter, I guess it was written by He Yulin. Tonight at 15:00, please accompany me to Yu Garden."
Sikong Yan looked at the crumpled note in his hand, his eyebrows raised even higher, "You told me this, aren't you afraid that I will punish He Yulin?"
"He is ignorant of the consequences himself, it has nothing to do with me."
The palace rules are strict. If a concubine has a secret meeting with a man outside the palace, she will be caned to death.
Shen Chaoyan adheres to the principle of 'it is better to kill a fellow Taoist than to kill a poor Taoist', and tells Sikong Yan word for word about He Yulin's appointment with her.
He Yulin is like a man with a missing brain, and he dares to write notes to the emperor's woman in the palace!
He is looking for death, but don't think of implicating her!
And there is Concubine Xian who is fanning the flames. Since they want to make things bigger, then let them do as they wish!
In fact, Sikong Yan did not execute He Yulin on the spot in Yuhua Temple, and he also wanted to know whether Shen Chaoyan still had feelings for her and He Yulin.
It is easy to kill a person, but Sikong Yan is worried that after He Yulin's death, he will become the unsurpassed white moonlight in Shen Chaoyan's heart.
At this moment, listening to Shen Chaoyan's inner voice, he was finally certain and certain that there was no place for He Yulin in Shen Chaoyan's heart.
"Okay, after going to Yu Garden, what do you need me to do for you?"
"Very simple." Shen Chaoyan rolled his eyes, leaned close to the man's ear, and whispered a few words.
Sikong Yan nodded slightly, "Okay, as you say."
A quarter of an hour later, a palace maid with a figure similar to Shen Chaoyan put on the clothes that Shen Chaoyan wore when she came to Yangxin Palace, and left in a high-profile manner with a food box.
Shen Chaoyan changed into the clothes of a little eunuch and quietly went out from the back door with Sikong Yan.
"What did you say?"
In Changchun Palace, Concubine Xian frowned after hearing the report from her trusted eunuch, "Shen Chaoyan moved up the meeting time?"
"I bribed the maid who was sweeping the floor in the Feiyan Palace. She said that Concubine Hua was dressing up and planning to go to the Yu Garden to watch the moon at 11:00 p.m."
11:00 p.m.?
Concubine Xian remembered that He Yulin had made an appointment at midnight. Could it be that Shen Chaoyan changed the time without permission?
That's right, Shen Chaoyan was cunning.
At 11:00 p.m., the guards in the palace would be changing shifts, and it would be less likely to be noticed if she went to the Yu Garden at that time.
But it didn't matter. As long as Shen Chaoyan dared to keep the appointment tonight, she would be doomed!
"Let's go. I'm going to join in the fun at Yu Garden." Concubine Xian said, and then she thought of something and stretched out her hand to call the most capable palace maid beside her, "You go to Yangxin Palace immediately and find a reason to ask the emperor to go to Yu Garden."
"Yes."
"The night is long, and those sisters in the harem who have never been favored must be alone and unable to sleep."
In order not to attract attention, Concubine Xian only brought a trusted eunuch and quietly went to Yu Garden.
Tonight, she wants to let the emperor know that Shen Chaoyan is a slut who flirts with women!
Concubine Xian remembered that after she was picked by Sikong Yan for the first time, she was not able to sleep with him, but instead spent the whole night grinding ink in Yangxin Palace.
Later, Shen Chaoyan and Shen Qingwan laughed at her and ridiculed her in front of all the concubines in the harem.
When she succeeds tonight, the next target will be Shen Qingwan.
She will make sure that both of them will never be able to turn over in their lives!
As the night grew darker, the Yu Garden was completely silent.
Under the cover of darkness, Concubine Xian and her servant quietly walked towards the Bi Bo Pavilion.
"Your Majesty, why is the Yu Garden so quiet tonight?"
They walked all the way without even encountering any of the night patrol guards. It was so smooth that it made people inexplicably nervous.
Concubine Xian raised her red lips with an expression of understanding, "Shen Chaoyan is really smart. He sent everyone away in advance."
After all, it was a secret meeting with her lover. With Shen Chaoyan's smartness, could she not arrange everything in advance?
The two hid behind a rockery not far from the Bibo Pavilion, and sure enough, they saw a man and a woman standing in the pavilion.
Unfortunately, the two were very far away, and there was no intimate behavior at all.
He Yulin, you old man, what a coward!
Shen Chaoyan has been sent to him, why is he still pretending to be a gentleman?
Go ahead! Hurry up!
Seeing that He Yulin had not made any move, Concubine Xian couldn't help but sneer in her heart.
She knew that he could not be relied on, thanks to her for being prepared!
Concubine Xian silently counted the time in her heart.
She waited and waited.
After waiting until his feet were numb and his body was covered with mosquito bites, he finally heard two muffled sounds of "plops".
The two people who were originally standing in the pavilion were finally drugged by the sleeping pills she had placed in the pavilion in advance!
"Xiao Mingzi, go and have a look!"
"Yes!"
The eunuch next to Concubine Xian received the order and immediately bent over and walked towards the pavilion.
When Xiao Mingzi entered the pavilion, he found that the two people on the ground were lying in the same posture.
They were both facing the ground.
He stared at the backs of the two heads on the ground and hesitated for a moment, then bent over and tried to drag the two people to one place.
However, as soon as his hand grabbed He Yulin's arm, he felt dizzy.
Xiao Mingzi:
_Hasn't the sleeping pills burned out?
This is like drinking expired fake wine, what's going on?
