Chapter 27 Delicate Palace Maid VS Cold-blooded Emperor 27
During the following period of time, Su Zhiruan finally experienced the power of the young and powerful emperor after he started having sex.
No one knows what the imperial concubine has been doing recently. She hasn’t even shown up or made any mischief.
Little Shen Xingzhi grew up gradually. The empress dowager happily played with his grandson every day. Shen Qi and Su Zhiruan also cared about him very much and went to visit the child every day.
Apart from that, Su Zhiruan lived a very comfortable life. Except for the sore waist and weak legs at night and sleeping until noon in the morning, this life was very comfortable.
* "Your Majesty... the soup in the kitchen is ready, you..." The little palace maid held a food box in her hand. She stood in front of the imperial concubine, trembling with fear, and then slowly placed the food box on the eight-immortal table in front of the imperial concubine.
"After waiting for such a long time, I finally found this good opportunity. I will take action today," the imperial concubine found the small medicine bottle that she had hidden before from the bottom of the box, and then sprinkled some medicine powder into the soup.
The young palace maid saw it all, but she and the imperial concubine were in the same boat and could only watch from the sidelines.
The medicine in the bottle only works on men and is not toxic. It just stimulates people's natural desires and cannot be measured with a silver needle.
Today, Su Zhiruan accompanied the Queen Mother to worship Buddha, and the little prince was also taken by the old nanny to the Huguo Temple.
Shen Qi did not go with them because of the flood disaster in the Jiangnan region. He stayed in the palace to discuss important matters with the ministers.
The imperial concubine finally found this opportunity, and she changed into cooler clothes. It was not suitable to wear thin clothes in this weather, but the imperial concubine took out a thin gauze dress. The translucent red color made her skin look more attractive. She wore a cloak on the outside, which covered her tightly, and no one could see what was going on inside. This scenery, which seemed to be about to appear and could be seen in the next second, was indeed very tempting.
"Take the soup bowl and go." The imperial concubine observed the sky. It was getting darker and it was almost night. Even the lights in the palace were turned on.
The imperial concubine was carried in a sedan chair to the door of the imperial study. A little palace maid walked behind her, holding the soup bowl in her hand, carefully preventing the soup from spilling.
Soon, after passing through the palace roads of all sizes, they arrived at the imperial study.
"How is my makeup? Is there any stain?" The imperial concubine looked at the maid, poked her face with her pointed nails, and sneered, "If you tell anyone, you know what will happen to you."
"I know, I swear to be loyal to the Empress until death." The little palace maid knew that the lives of her family were now in the hands of the imperial concubine. It didn't matter if she died, but the twelve people in her family and the newborn baby of her brother and sister-in-law could not be killed. For them, she had to endure the humiliation and follow the imperial concubine to do these dirty things that would send her to hell.
"That's good to know," the imperial concubine took the soup bowl from her hand, walked to the door of the imperial study, and saw Xiao Fuzi, "Eunuch Xiao Fuzi, go tell the emperor that I personally cooked soup for His Majesty, and let me in."
Xiao Fuzi scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "This, Imperial Concubine, you also know that the Emperor does not allow anyone to enter at this time, he is handling official business!"
A malicious look flashed across the imperial concubine's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant, and she pretended to be casual and said, "I saw Imperial Concubine Yue go in at this time before."
Xiao Fuzi was even more helpless. He wanted to say that Concubine Yue was also comparable to him, but for the sake of Concubine Yue's face, he changed his words, "Concubine Yue was summoned by His Majesty to discuss important matters concerning His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"I don't care, you go and tell them," the imperial concubine wanted to smash everything she had in her hands when she was angry, but this time she was holding the soup that could help her get promoted, so she resisted the urge to throw the things directly at Xiao Fuzi's face, "If the emperor refuses to see me today, I will kneel here forever."
As soon as she finished speaking, she knelt on the ground.
"This, this...Ah!" Xiao Fuzi now felt completely confused.
This imperial concubine is too difficult to deal with. His Majesty certainly doesn't want to see her, but the imperial concubine is a descendant of the Empress Dowager and a legitimate daughter of an aristocratic family. If she were seen by others, they would definitely make a big fuss about it.
After Shen Qi found out, he also had a splitting headache. He hated the imperial concubine, but he had to keep her. The imperial concubine had done nothing wrong. If he dealt with her rashly, the court officials would definitely have opinions about Su Zhiruan. The empress dowager was the imperial concubine's aunt, and she would definitely be impeached by others for kneeling like this without caring about her image.
"Let her in. I want to see what she wants to do." Shen Qi frowned deeply, and even stopped writing with the pen in his hand and placed it on the pen holder.
When the imperial concubine heard Shen Qi asking her to come in, a satisfied smile appeared on her face, and then she came in with the soup.
"Your Majesty, you haven't come to see me for a long time." As soon as the imperial concubine entered the room and bowed, she wanted to get close to Shen Qi immediately.
"What are you doing here?" Shen Qi showed a disgusted expression on his face and frowned deeply. When he saw the soup in the imperial concubine's hand, he said, "Keep it for yourself."
"Your Majesty, this is something I made myself bit by bit. It's all the result of my hard work. It's a manifestation of my love for you!" The Imperial Concubine said as she opened the lid, took out a small bowl from it, and placed it next to Shen Qi. "Your Majesty, please try it. I have been practicing my craft with Sister Imperial Concubine Yue for a long time."
Shen Qi knew without even looking closely that this color and this taste were made by the chef from the imperial kitchen. As per usual, Xiao Fuzi tested it with a silver needle, then shook her head and left.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Tang stays, you go back first, I have something to do." Shen Qi didn't want to stay with this woman, and didn't even want to look at her.
The imperial concubine glanced at the soup inconspicuously, then smiled coquettishly and leaned forward, "Your Majesty, I am worried that you will pour it out as soon as I leave, which would be a betrayal of my thoughts and the kindness of Concubine Yue. Please taste it, and then I will leave."
Shen Qi was extremely annoyed. He thought that it was made by the chef in the imperial kitchen, and Xiao Fuzi had tested that it was not poisonous. In order to get rid of the imperial concubine, he directly picked up the bowl and took a sip. Then he put the bowl down and said coldly, "You can leave now."
Originally, seeing that the imperial concubine was indifferent, he wanted to ask the servants to take her back, but when he saw the imperial concubine starting to take off her cloak, he immediately felt something was wrong.
Just as the imperial concubine began to take off her clothes, Shen Qi picked up the eight-immortals table next to him where Su Zhiruan had placed snacks, and smashed it directly at the imperial concubine.
An eight-person table! At this moment, the imperial concubine was completely shocked!
After knocking her unconscious on the Eight Immortals Table, Shen Qi just breathed a sigh of relief when he felt something was wrong with himself.
There is indeed medicine in the soup. It is not poison, but an aphrodisiac! (End of this chapter)
