Chapter 841 Sorry to bother you
"Sir, the game isn't over yet. You've lost, so you must punish yourself with three cups of wine!"
Before Helian Cheng could speak, a tall man suddenly emerged from the coffin, towering over Helian Cheng by more than half a head.
"Okay, darling, I'll listen to whatever you say."
Helian Cheng chuckled a few times, his manner extremely lewd. Just as he was about to take the wine cup, three men emerged from the coffin, shoving each other and trying to stop Helian Cheng from drinking.
It turns out that while women in the imperial harem schemed and fought for the emperor's favor, men did the same, and their methods and tricks were no less sophisticated than women's.
Lin Yuesha had been to Wenjun Tower before, but she still couldn't adapt to the scene before her.
The old woman had met Lin Yuesha before, and she smiled with exceptional kindness, a slight upturn to her lips.
"My lord, would you mind leaving for now?"
Lin Yuesha had no idea what was inside the coffin, but judging from its appearance, Qi Heng's claim that it was priceless was no exaggeration. The gemstones and crystals inlaid on the exterior could fill a whole box if they were removed.
Moreover, the coffin was very spacious, and even with several men inside, it did not feel crowded at all.
"Miaoyin, you stay."
Yuwen Kun waved to the old woman, who responded and quickly fled, leaving Lin Yuesha standing there, feeling extremely embarrassed.
In this room, she was superfluous.
"According to my subordinates, Li Ruoshuang seems to be highly trusted by Yuwen Kun."
Helian Cheng dared not take the initiative. Although he could seize the initiative, there was a risk of exposure, especially since Li Ruoshuang was Lin Yuesha's former classmate and an old acquaintance.
"Indeed, that's exactly what I was thinking of saying."
Having successfully swindled the jewelry, Lin Yuesha, in order to gain Helian Cheng's trust, analyzed, "I got close to Li Ruoshuang and discovered a secret."
"What secret?"
Helian Cheng was very interested in digging into people's privacy. He poured himself a glass of wine and fed it to his male concubine beside him.
"Li Ruoshuang is deeply in love with City Lord Yuwen, and therefore she is very hostile to her subordinates. She probably cannot be bought off with money."
Lin Yuesha kept her eyes down, avoiding looking, listening, and paying attention, so as not to be frightened by Helian Cheng again.
Seeing Qi Heng eating so heartily, Lin Yuesha also ate a bowl, and she didn't want to spit it out so soon.
"Yes, my lord, just like Hanlu's heart for you, it is as clear as heaven and earth, sun and moon, and cannot be bought with money!"
Helian Cheng's male favorite, the burly man who was the first to emerge from the coffin, took this opportunity to express his loyalty, which made Helian Cheng laugh heartily, saying repeatedly, "Hanlu understands my heart, very good, very good!"
"My lord, Hanlu is just sweet-talking and better at talking than we are."
The other three male concubines were relentless, arguing and bickering, giving Lin Yuesha a headache.
"You three go down first, but stay here tonight for Hanlu."
Helian Cheng's expression turned cold, and he ruthlessly chased away the three unpleasant male concubines.
The three men, knowing Helian Cheng's temperament, obediently crawled out of the coffin, knelt down, kowtowed, and left reluctantly.
"My lord, Hanlu is the most experienced when it comes to love."
Hanlu poured wine for Helian Cheng and analyzed, "Especially for women, if they are devoted to someone, Miaoyin probably can't get close to Li Ruoshuang."
Li Ruoshuang cannot be kept; keeping her would only bring disaster.
"But she's Lord Yuwen's woman, sent to be my maid. I can't very well send her back, can I?"
Lin Yuesha passed the buck to Han Lu; Helian Cheng's male favorite wanted to show off, so she offered him the opportunity.
"Hanlu is right. Li Ruoshuang is an acquaintance of Lin Yuesha and also her rival in love. If we keep her here, we'll be held back. If Li Ruoshuang notices anything amiss, she'll cause us trouble."
Helian Cheng's idea was that since he couldn't bribe her, he should kill Li Ruoshuang.
Although Li Ruoshuang was an insignificant little person, bad things often happen to little people, which made Helian Cheng have to be wary.
"Get rid of Li Ruoshuang, but don't alert her... Miaoyin, do you have any ideas?"
Helian Cheng put on his coat, climbed out, and sat on the edge of the coffin, sipping wine in a lower voice.
"I haven't thought of anything yet."
Lin Yuesha never looked up, but glanced around, trying to figure out where the other treasures were hidden besides the conspicuous coffin.
"My lord, Hanlu has a brilliant idea that can not only get rid of Li Ruoshuang, but also..."
Hanlu deliberately kept everyone in suspense, looking quite smug.
"If your idea is good, I will naturally reward you."
After Helian Cheng made his promise, Hanlu then said, "Have Miaoyin prepare some food with added ingredients for Yuwen Kun and frame Li Ruoshuang for it."
"poison?"
Lin Yuesha was shocked; how could she be involved in this?
"Of course not, it's that kind of medicine."
After Hanlu finished speaking, she deliberately leaned closer to Helian Cheng.
Li Ruoshuang's admiration for Yuwen Kun was evident to the fullest extent. Yuwen Kun wasn't stupid; he should have known better.
Once caught in the trap, Yuwen Kun would be unable to control himself, which would be a disgrace to him. In his fury, he would certainly not leave the culprit alive.
Using Yuwen Kun to get rid of Li Ruoshuang is a classic case of using someone else to do the dirty work.
"As everyone knows, Lin Yuesha has already married Qi Heng, and she was kidnapped unwillingly. She certainly wouldn't do that kind of thing to Yuwen Kun."
Hanlu's analysis was very thorough, and what he wanted to emphasize was not just the issue of framing Li Ruoshuang, but also that they could profit from this.
"Then I don't understand, what other benefits are there to framing Li Ruoshuang besides having one less opponent?"
Lin Yuesha didn't fully understand Hanlu's intention and waited for him to continue.
"My lord, Yuwen Kun is usually averse to women, and is very chaste, even to the point of being a germaphobe. If we can successfully arrange for him to have sex with a few women..."
To put it bluntly, they sent someone to take advantage of the situation and create a child for Yuwen Kun.
Holding Yuwen Kun's offspring in one's hands, a bloodline belonging to Sishui City, is far more reliable than sending Miaoyin to infiltrate Yuwen Kun's side for a long time.
“The women around him can be replaced, but if it’s offspring, they are Yuwen Kun’s children, and he has no choice but to comply.”
Hanlu was thinking far ahead. If one day Yuwen Kun was killed and his offspring were in Helian Cheng's hands, it would be equivalent to them gaining Sishui City.
This is a grand strategy, only those with a broad perspective can understand it.
Before Hanlu could finish speaking, Lin Yuesha was already dumbfounded. "Sorry to bother you, her perspective is too narrow. How abnormal must a person be to think of this!"
If Yuwen Kun falls into the trap, he will be extremely unlucky.
"That's definitely a good idea."
Helian Cheng clapped his hands repeatedly. The plan could be implemented, but it should be done naturally.
"Where can we find a woman who climbs into our bedchamber? Our servants..."
Helian Cheng recalled that there were not many maids in the mansion. If he were to hire a few old women, it was uncertain whether they could give birth.
If someone were to be sent into the mansion from outside, the purpose would be too obvious.
"My lord, how could you forget? All the young ladies from Yunzhao Pavilion are in the manor. Why not just choose from them?"
If successful, everything proceeds as planned; if it fails, our side has an even better excuse to shirk responsibility and distance itself from the matter.
