Chapter 202: Joining the Game
I touched his forehead and it was indeed unusually hot.
Ji Yunshu gritted his teeth and asked, "Why are you here? Where are the people following you?"
She couldn't bring too many people into the palace, but what about the guards around the emperor?
Emperor Jingming was also a little confused. He rubbed his forehead and asked, "Why are you here?"
Knowing his situation, Ji Yunshu was too lazy to argue and slumped down on the bed, saying, "I was leaving the Empress Dowager's Palace and heading to the Linde Palace when I was attacked. I woke up here."
Emperor Jingming said, "I, a palace maid told me that my mother wanted to see me, but she was attacked on the way."
Ji Yunshu didn't know what to say. The emperor was attacked in the palace. It sounded like a joke, but it actually happened.
"Where are the people around you?"
Emperor Jingming said, "I went to see my mother, but I brought a few eunuchs with me."
Ji Yunshu covered his burning forehead and asked, "What should I do now? I can't hold on any longer."
Emperor Jingming was also a little overwhelmed: "Me too."
"Your Majesty, please find a way out quickly."
Ji Yunshu said anxiously.
But after she finished speaking, she froze. Her breathing was heavy and her voice sounded a little seductive.
Emperor Jingming also heard it and glanced at her: "This place looks like a cold palace. Usually no one comes here. The door should be locked from the outside. There is nothing I can do."
Ji Yunshu was also frightened by her own voice. In front of the emperor, she couldn't help feeling uncomfortable. Feeling the heat inside her body sweeping over her more and more violently, she pulled out a hairpin from her head and slashed it hard on her palm.
The moment the stinging pain hit her, she regained consciousness and said to Emperor Jingming, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Even if I die here, I won't embarrass you."
Emperor Jingming looked at the bed curtains and couldn't help saying, "If you die here, I won't be able to explain it either."
Even if Zhao Shen and the Ji family knew what happened, they would still blame him.
Ji Yunshu scratched his arm with another hairpin: "Your Majesty, aren't you feeling uncomfortable? You still have time to think about these things."
Emperor Jingming said, "It's uncomfortable, but I can still bear it. I was a prince since I was young, and later became emperor. The royal family has some special secret recipes to counteract these drugs."
Ji Yunshu felt a little unbalanced. "Although I'm not from the royal family, I grew up in the palace. My cousin is so distant that he wouldn't even let me take this secret medicine."
Emperor Jingming was at a loss for words: "You think that's some good thing? It's just some similar medicine you usually take, letting your body get used to it. The discomfort will be worse than this."
Ji Yunshu had also heard in modern times that people in special professions had special drug resistance training. The secret medicine that Emperor Jingming mentioned was probably of that type.
Ji Yunshu: "...Is that so? Just treat me as someone who is delirious and talking nonsense."
She felt like she was really about to be burned unconscious, and she cut another line on her arm.
Blood kept gushing out of his arm, but the effect of the medicine could not be suppressed.
Emperor Jingming looked at the scars on her arm and couldn't help asking, "Will you blame me?"
Ji Yunshu was not stupid, and he felt that something was wrong with the situation from the beginning.
The palace has been under strict security these days, and the emperor is surrounded by even more guarded personnel.
Zhao Shen was so busy every day that his eyes turned blue, just to prevent any problems from happening at the palace banquet.
They have come this far and still fallen into the trap, so they should really be finished.
"There's nothing strange about that. The Emperor himself is willing to take part in the game. How can I be more noble than you?"
Emperor Jingming closed his eyes and said, "I'm sorry. If you want any compensation in the future, feel free to ask."
Although Emperor Jingming had said something similar before, Ji Yunshu knew that this time was different.
He really felt guilty for implicating himself.
It is also a serious commitment.
She smiled and said, "You said it yourself, don't regret it later."
Emperor Jingming breathed a sigh of relief: "No regrets."
Ji Yunshu really couldn't hold it any longer. She bit her tongue and asked, "When will someone come?"
Emperor Jingming calculated the time in his mind and said, "It should be soon."
Ji Yunshu said impatiently, "I really can't do it anymore. How about you knock me out?"
Emperor Jingming looked at her arm from which blood was constantly oozing, and was considering whether to knock her out.
But before that, he still explained seriously: "In order to make it look real, Mingcheng will not interfere in the affairs of the palace today. He doesn't know about this matter."
Ji Yunshu was originally thinking about this. She could understand that Emperor Jingming used her to plan, but if Zhao Shen knew about it, she would still feel uncomfortable.
These words made her feel much better.
She laughed and said, "Knock me out."
She really couldn't bear it anymore. There was usually no antidote for this kind of medicine, so she had to bear it herself.
Ji Yunshu could feel that the effect of the medicine had reached its peak.
She really couldn't stand it anymore.
Emperor Jingming was about to take action when there was a sudden noise outside.
The door was suddenly kicked open.
Zhao Shen appeared at the door with a dark face.
Emperor Jingming's eyes lit up: "Mingcheng, you are finally here."
Zhao Shen said coldly, "Your Majesty is very courageous. He actually entered the game himself, not afraid that the other party would stab you and end it with a knife."
If he were to say that they were about to rebel, why would they bother with any conspiracy?
Wouldn’t it be better to just kill the emperor with such a good opportunity?
Emperor Jingming felt guilty and quickly shouted, "I have been punished. Come here quickly."
Zhao Shen walked to the bed and saw two people lying side by side on the bed, his face became even gloomier.
But after seeing the blood on Ji Yunshu's arm, he suddenly asked in a cold voice: "What happened?"
Emperor Jingming also knew that this situation could easily lead to misunderstanding. He was about to explain something when Ji Yunshu spoke first.
"Can't you see what's going on? I'm drugged and I need a man. Can you please stop dithering?"
Emperor Jingming: “…”
He really didn't know that his cousin was like this in private.
Zhao Shen: “…”
Although Ji Yunshu's tone was a bit impatient, her voice was gentle and charming, which was only heard in bed.
He didn't have time to think about it and immediately untied the emperor's Xue Dao.
Emperor Jingming hurriedly got out of bed and was helped out.
The moment the door was closed, Ji Yunshu pulled Zhao Shen onto the bed, kissed him on the lips, and said aggrievedly, "Why did you come just now?"
Zhao Shen avoided her wound and said gently, "I'm late."
The impulse that Ji Yunshu had suppressed for a long time surged up, and she could no longer restrain herself and clung to Zhao Shen tightly.
The curtains on the bed fell down, and the noise inside did not stop until midnight.
Ji Yunshu fell into a daze and fell asleep.
Zhao Shen stood up and carefully bandaged all the wounds on her body, and asked someone to light a few more charcoal braziers.
The room, which had been unoccupied for a long time, was no longer cold at all, so he got up and went to the next room to find Emperor Jingming.
Emperor Jingming looked at his gloomy face and felt a little numb in his heart.
Zhao Shen hasn't been this angry for a long time.
He quickly explained: "I really didn't know that the person they wanted to plot against was my cousin. I really don't have any interest in my cousin at all."
