Chapter 367 Zhao Hede 28
However, after the quarrel, they still had to pay the money obediently. After all, they were new to the place and the queen was powerful. At least Chunyu Chang would tell them the whereabouts of the emperor every time he took the money.
It's a pity that I had bad luck. I spent almost ten thousand gold coins, but I still couldn't make a good appearance in front of His Majesty.
Zhang Zhen took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. The smile on his face became gentle and amiable again. "One last time, let's take the big one and use all the incense and medicine we have prepared at home. I don't believe we can't take down the emperor."
"Are you serious? Drugging the emperor is no joke. Although I don't care whether I live or die, I wouldn't be willing to accept the Zhang family if one of their dogs were buried with me."
"I call you stupid, but you still refuse to admit it. Men have always considered it perfectly normal to have fun at parties and have sex after drinking. The drug is mild, so we only need to add a small amount. After a night, the effects will naturally evaporate. Who knows?"
Zhang Zhen turned his head and added seriously, "But you're right. Just in case, it would be safer to invite an old lover who has a good reputation with His Majesty."
"You mean Ban Jieyu? Would she agree? Besides, if His Majesty were to have sex with three women at night, not to mention that if it got out, our reputation would probably be even worse than the Empress's. Just think about His Majesty's health. Could he handle it?"
Zhang Mi spoke eloquently, but his eyes were full of interest, and he was obviously very tempted by this proposal.
"No, this time we must do our utmost to help Ban Jieyu succeed." Zhang Zhen looked at the bare treetops outside. A bird landed on a branch, and the smile on his face became more and more mysterious:
“When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman gains.”
"Pretentious people are more likely to do weird things."
"roll!"
………
"It's a pity that the mantis is stalking the cicada, but the oriole is already behind it."
Zhao Hede touched her belly and said to the palace maid Fan who was kneeling beside her with a smile: "The gold will be kept with you according to the old rules. Someone will come to take it when the time comes."
"I understand, but does Her Majesty the Queen really want to fulfill their wish this time?"
"Why not? Although I don't care about these women in the harem, since they have made up their minds, it might as well add fuel to the fire."
Zhao Hede thought about the Zhang sisters' plan and had to say that it was very thorough.
Ever since he learned that she was pregnant with twins, Liu Ao no longer dared to stay in the Pepper Palace, for fear that he would lose control and hurt the queen and the children.
Because she was pregnant and could not play with him every day, he would mostly summon his close servants with whom he had a good relationship, and take them out for hunting tours in the garden or for drinking and music.
Of course, Liu Ao did not dare to take the opportunity to seek out other women. Even the dancers at the banquet were all trained by Zhao Feiyan and presented to him. There were no seductive and restless women among them.
During this period, Chunyu Chang was more favored than ordinary people because of his eloquence and his relationship with the emperor. These days, he would always have a seat at every banquet held by Liu Ao, and occasionally the emperor would even invite him to a banquet alone.
For example, tomorrow the emperor will specially hold a banquet, and only the couple and Chunyu Chang will be present, and the three of them will watch dance and enjoy music together.
It is easy to imagine how she, who was "violent and jealous", felt when she caught her beloved emperor having sex with Ban Jieyu, whom she had never taken seriously before, when she was about to give birth.
If things go wrong, there might be three deaths at once. Ban Jieyu, the woman most favored by the Empress Dowager, would definitely have to die to atone for her crime. At that time, the Empress Dowager would have to favor the Zhang sisters.
If she could hold on, she would not let Ban Jieyu go. At that time, she would compete with Ban Jieyu, who had the Empress Dowager as her backer. The sisters could also take advantage of the opportunity. If they handled it well, they might even be won over by both sides.
"It seems they are very confident in themselves, believing that they can win His Majesty's heart if they get the chance."
Zhao Hede smiled with satisfaction: "This is interesting. I hope they will not let me down."
The next morning, Zhao Hede, neatly dressed, looked particularly radiant. This brightened Liu Ao's mood. He held Hede's hand and smiled gently, "What good news has happened today that has made my Hede so happy?"
"Of course Hede is happy to see His Majesty so early in the morning."
Zhao Hede also smiled and shook their clasped hands. The sticky atmosphere between the two of them was so tight that it was impossible for water to get in.
Chunyu Chang, who felt this atmosphere as soon as he entered the hall, couldn't help but feel fortunate that he didn't side with the Zhang sisters for that little bit of money in the first place.
Not to mention her looks and means, just the way Her Majesty the Queen handles His Majesty is something that even ten Zhang sisters can't match.
"Zi Ru is here, please sit down."
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry to bother you and me today. I can't drink any more wine, so I can only have tea instead."
As the Queen spoke, she raised her glass to Chunyu Chang, and they looked at each other and exchanged a knowing look.
"Hahaha, good!" Liu Ao smiled and picked up the wine glass and drank it all. Turning around, he saw Hede watching the singing and dancing and drinking tasteless tea. Knowing that she didn't like these things, he whispered in her ear: "This rambutan wine doesn't have much of a taste. Do you want to try it?"
Hede glanced at the rose-red wine, which was reflected in the translucent green glass wine cup and looked extremely beautiful.
[You idiot, how could I not know that this wine has a low alcohol content? ]
While she didn't mind other people's schemes, she couldn't let them truly harm her greatest supporter. She replaced the original strong liquor with a juice-like rambutan wine, and the medicine in it with a small amount of good medicine she had taken from the system. It would definitely not harm his body or confuse his mind.
I just don’t know how such an emperor would react when faced with a naked Ban Jieyu?
Thinking about this, Zhao Hede did not refuse the wine in his hand, but only took a sip.
At the banquet, Chunyu Chang urged Liu Ao to drink cup after cup of wine. Even though the alcohol content of the Pu Tao wine was not high, it was enough to make Liu Ao drunk with his alcohol tolerance.
Seeing that the time was right, Chunyu Chang stood up and said goodbye. Liu Ao took a long while to react before nodding: "Go away."
As for the Queen? She had already left a quarter of an hour ago due to lack of energy.
The emperor was the only one left in the hall. He was drunk today and finished another pot of wine. He said impatiently, "Come on, bring some wine!"
As he said this, he subconsciously tugged at his collar and opened his chest, only then did he feel better.
In his hazy state, he didn't notice someone stumbling in until the man kept calling out "Your Majesty" and threw himself into his arms.
Liu Ao subconsciously caught it, his muddled mind thinking it was the Queen. Seeing her throwing herself into his arms, he instinctively felt something was wrong, but he couldn't remember what was wrong, so he could only coax her:
"Hede, be good and take care of yourself, um..."
Suddenly, a kiss filled with liquor blocked his mouth. The two kissed for a long time. Liu Ao blinked and held her face. He felt his whole body getting hot, but he said, "Hede, have you been drinking?"
Seeing that the man remained silent, Liu Ao pondered for a long time with his now not-so-smart brain before asking, "Are you still angry about me not letting you go out for some fresh air yesterday?"
As he was speaking, he held the man's face and was about to lean over to apologize sincerely, but was suddenly knocked down by the man. The clothes of both of them were already in a mess as they rubbed against each other. The atmosphere in the room was ambiguous, but Liu Ao suddenly pushed the person down.
"You are not Hede... I want Hede!"
The man came closer as if he hadn't heard anything. As the two were struggling, the door of the hall was suddenly pushed open, and a clear voice rang out slowly:
"What is Ban Jieyu doing?"
Liu Ao blinked, not paying any attention to the words. He simply threw the woman to the ground again, walked to Hede in three or two steps, and said to Hede with drunken eyes:
"Where have you been? I feel so uncomfortable without you..."
Zhao Hede reached out and hugged his big head with amusement. She didn't expect that Liu Ao, who had been drugged, would react like this.
Emmm...it's quite cute.
