Following the address given by Mi Shan, the King of the Northern Desert successfully located the eldest prince.
The Empress wept with joy and repeatedly asked:
"My son, who saved you at the horse racing track?"
The eldest prince lowered his head and remained silent.
Guessing that he might have been frightened, the Empress stopped asking questions and told him to rest.
Therefore,
Xilong narrowly escaped death.
Considering that the Northern Desert King was going to atone for his sins, Li Shengyuan relented and let Xilong go back.
All the servants who accompanied him were executed.
Before his departure, the King of the Northern Desert did not forget his promise to Mi Shan and secretly sent someone to place the thousand-year-old tortoise shell at the trading location.
Afterwards, Mi Shan found another opportunity to send someone to retrieve it.
The moment Mi Shan obtained the thousand-year-old tortoise shell, he threw it into the furnace.
Watching the flames gradually die down.
Mi Shan changed her posture, got up, walked to the window, and rubbed her shoulders.
These past few days, except when she was serving Li Shengyuan at night, Mi Shan had some space of her own, she was basically with Li Shengyuan the rest of the time.
The emperor saw that her legs were still swollen and she had difficulty moving around, so he did not force her.
That night, Mi Shan slept soundly without dreams.
The next day.
I received a message from Xiaomingzi.
It is said that Achan passed the preliminary test.
The examination for the top martial arts champion was generally divided into three stages: the provincial examination, the metropolitan examination, and the palace examination.
A smile appeared on Mi Shan's face.
Very good.
Achan.
You certainly didn't disappoint me.
"The upcoming provincial examination will be held in the capital. My lord, the Zhang Jianyue you asked me to inquire about has also passed the provincial examination."
"I will meet Achan in the same examination room."
"Moreover, the proctor this time is Prince Rui."
“Prince Rui has always been willing to be on good terms with the master. If the master wants, he can easily have Zhang Jianyue eliminated.”
Mi Shan gave a cold smile: "He's not worthy of me using any means to deal with him. Compared to A Chan, he's not even as good as an ant."
Mi Mansion.
Mi Fen followed Zhang Jianyue to the capital and stayed at his home temporarily.
Zhang Jianyue passed the provincial examination smoothly, and she was overjoyed. However, after drinking with the proctor, Officer He, in the county town last night, she fell asleep in a daze.
Zhang Jianyue said that after she got drunk, she carried her home.
Mi Fen always felt backache and a heavy body.
As soon as he got home, he lay down on the familiar bed in the side room and fell into a deep sleep, not even bothering to catch up with his mother.
When Qiao Fangyue came to visit her, she had just woken up. The first thing she did was grab her mother's hand and ask:
“Mother, when I was in the countryside, I heard that Mi Shan was arrested in the palace as a demon.”
"I've been wanting to ask you, is she dead?"
Qiao Fangyue's expression changed: "How can you talk such nonsense? Mi Shan is now Consort Mi Hui, the emperor's favorite concubine."
Everyone says,
The vacant position of Consort De is very likely to fall into her hands.
Mi Fen was startled, a flash of indignation crossing her eyes: "Why! We have the same life, yet she's living so smoothly, while I'm living such a miserable one!"
She covered her face and wept bitterly.
“Daughter, what are you talking about? Come to think of it, you’ve become so haggard since you married Zhang Jianyue. Your hands are even rougher than your mother’s.”
“I’ve been washing clothes and serving the whole Zhang family day and night. How could I not be getting old? Mother, you won’t even send me two maids to help me.”
“We’re not marrying into a wealthy family, so there’s no such custom. Zhang Jianyue didn’t even give a single penny of betrothal money. Forget it, it’s my fault. You should stay home and rest well during this time.”
During dinner that evening, Mi Xiuyan asked when she planned to have children.
An impatience flashed across Mi Fen's eyes.
Zhang Jianyue, on the other hand, seemed a little guilty.
He had given Mi Fen a contraceptive potion last night and then sent her to that Officer He's bed.
Because Magistrate He happened to see Mi Fen and asked her a few questions out of curiosity, Zhang Jianyue got the news and came up with the idea of selling Mi Fen in exchange for passing the provincial examination smoothly.
really,
Despite his less-than-ideal archery skills, Officer He still let him pass and even gave him a high score of second place.
How could he not be moved to tears, and present Mi Fen with both hands?
Poor Mi Fen had no idea what had happened last night. When Mi Xiuyan urged her to have a baby, she felt annoyed, while Zhang Jianyue outwardly agreed.
"I'm not eating anymore."
Mi Fen put down her chopsticks and turned to leave.
Mi Xiuyan frowned, displeasure showing on his face.
Time flies.
Several days have passed in the blink of an eye.
Under Physician Qiao's careful treatment, Mi Shan's leg improved significantly.
Seeing this, Li Shengyuan once again considered having her serve him in bed.
Mi Shan knew she couldn't escape and was in distress when Bai Lingyu came up with a plan.
"You get the Emperor drunk tonight, then I'll go in and spend the night with him. I'll leave at dawn, and you can lie down and wake him up."
“But wouldn’t that be too much of a burden for you?” Mi Shan asked.
"How could that be? That dog emperor and I have long been one. One more or one less time doesn't matter. It's just that I can see that you don't have that man in your heart. It's really hard to ask you to compromise."
Bai Lingyu patted her shoulder.
"Don't think too much about it. Just listen to me. If that doesn't work, have Qiao Yunsheng add some sleeping pills to the emperor's daily tonic. He'll fall into a deep sleep, like a dead pig."
that's all,
According to Bai Lingyu.
Seeing that Li Shengyuan had taken the Ten-Ingredient Tonic Pill, Mi Shan lay on the bed full of anticipation and soon fell into a deep sleep.
In a daze,
