"If he's willing to lose, then let him lose. I've spent so much energy saving him. If I were to use my demonic power again in such a short time, I'm afraid my life would be shortened."
Mortal life span is limited. If this body dies, her mission will fail.
In the house.
Pei Yanche transferred almost half of his spiritual power into her body, but she still showed no signs of waking up.
His slender fingers rested on her pulse, their movements were disordered and weak.
"Has the love poison gotten worse again..."
How could that be?
I had already performed the Zhougong ceremony last night, so even if I can't completely quit drugs, it won't aggravate my love addiction.
His cold hands fell on her face, and he carefully described Shen Qianyue's appearance.
When she was asleep, she was always reserved and quiet, without any sign of being ostentatious or sharp.
New Year's Eve is in two days. This year is his eleventh year in Dali.
In the brightly candlelit palace, the little emperor was pacing back and forth anxiously, looking outside from time to time.
Seeing the eunuch coming in, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "How is Alang? Is there any way to get him out of the imperial prison?"
The eunuch knelt on the ground and shook his head: "Your Majesty, I have just gone to make arrangements with the ministers, and they all said that no one dared to release Lord Lin from the imperial prison because of the order issued by the princess."
Upon hearing this, the little emperor's face turned pale instantly.
He even slumped to the ground with a look of dejection on his face.
"Alang, my lonely Alang..."
Seeing him like this, the eunuch couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, why don't we go and apologize to the Princess? You and Her Highness share the same mother and a deep bond. I'm sure the Princess isn't that cruel."
This is the only solution I can think of at the moment.
"Shut up!" The little emperor was furious. "I am the monarch of the Great Li Dynasty, and she is just a princess. Why should I beg her? Why should I admit my mistake?"
"I am not wrong, she is the one who is wrong!"
"Do you also think that I, the emperor, am a failure, even worse than a woman like her?"
The little emperor stared at the servant on the ground with vicious eyes, pinched his neck with one hand, and spoke in a fierce and vicious tone.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. This is not what I meant. I just wanted to help Your Majesty save Lord Lin from danger!"
The eunuch looked at him in horror.
"No! Even you look down on me!"
"Who is she, Shen Qianyue? Why does she think she is above me?"
He pinched fiercely and began to exert more force with both hands.
The eunuch was pinned to the ground, unable to move, his eyes bulging out, and he died soon after.
The palace maids in the hall watched and dared not breathe.
"His Majesty!"
The queen came in hurriedly and saw this scene.
She took one look at the eunuch who was strangled to death on the ground and was horrified.
The eldest princess was right. His Majesty is a violent and murderous person at heart!
Dali will be destroyed sooner or later in his hands.
The little emperor stepped back in panic. He looked at his hands and seemed to realize what he had done.
"Queen, I didn't mean to kill him. I was just too scared!"
He held the queen's hand tightly and spoke incoherently.
But this isn't the first time this has happened.
In the palace, if something went wrong, they would be beaten to death or tortured to death.
The Queen gritted her teeth and said, "Don't be afraid, Your Majesty. I'm here. I'll find a way."
"Come here, drag the body out and deal with it cleanly. Don't let it pollute His Majesty's eyes!"
The body was quickly dragged away.
She comforted the little emperor and said, "Your Majesty, you and the princess are siblings, blood relatives, and you share an inseparable bond."
"Perhaps the princess is just angry with you that day. If you go and show some mercy to her, she will forgive you."
Emperor Xuande was furious and pushed her away: "How come even you look down on me!"
"Does Your Majesty wish to watch Lord Lin being tortured to death in the Imperial Prison?"
This was the first time the queen spoke so loudly to the little emperor.
The princess said that the little emperor was a man who looked strong but was actually weak, and that one must never show any fear in front of him.
"No, I don't want to..."
The little emperor was at a loss. What should he do to save Alang?
"Your Majesty, please listen to me. In two days, it will be New Year's Eve. Please invite the princess to the palace. The princess will not refuse you this honor during the family banquet."
Yes, New Year’s Eve family dinner!
How could he forget?
The New Year’s Eve family dinner is a big day when even the elders of the royal family will come out.
The elders had long been dissatisfied with Chen Qianyue's style of doing things. He only needed to take care of the elders. By then, not to mention saving Alang, it would not be impossible to force the power in her hands out.
The little emperor was so excited that he spun around several times while holding the queen.
"Queen, you are truly my lucky star. Tonight, I will go to Qifeng Palace!"
The Queen remained calm and said, "Yes, I will wait respectfully for Your Majesty."
All of this is consistent with what the princess said, so how did the princess know that His Majesty would definitely do as she said?
The news that His Majesty would be visiting Fengqi Palace tonight spread throughout the palace early in the morning.
Even the maids around the queen were full of joy.
"Your Majesty, what the princess said is indeed true. His Majesty will really come to our place."
The maid helped her to dress up, and in one night, the queen completely transformed from a young girl into a woman, with her face visibly rosy.
"Princess, you are so wise. Now, I just have to wait for the next good news."
Her hand subconsciously touched her belly. That day, the princess gave her a pill, saying that after taking it, she would definitely conceive a dragon.
And it must be a prince.
If she wants to protect the lives of the entire prime minister's mansion, it depends on whether her belly can survive.
She probably knew what the princess wanted to do, which was to use the emperor to control the princes.
In the end, they all underestimated the princess. Her strategy and vision were not enough to make her a monarch.
Two whole days have passed. As long as New Year's Eve is over, Pei Yanche will be able to go on a diplomatic mission to the Southern Kingdom as a frontier official.
The palace family banquet was magnificent and filled with clinking glasses.
The sound of iron chains dragging on the ground in the imperial prison was very harsh, and Lin Lang was being dragged on the ground like a dead dog.
Someone kicked him in the face and said, "Why are you pretending to be dead? Today is New Year's Eve, and the princess is kind enough to let you go to the palace to meet the emperor. If you can please the princess, perhaps you can still live."
Lin Lang had been tortured beyond recognition. Like Pei Yanche, his ten fingernails were pulled out and iron hooks were pierced through his scapula.
The iron brand left marks on her body one after another.
Royal family dinner?
Is Your Majesty finally going to rescue him?
He knew that His Majesty would never give up on him at any time.
