When Wu Qing heard this, his eyes immediately lit up.

Serve in bed!

Doesn’t this mean that she finally has the chance to see the emperor’s true face!

She was transmigrated into a concubine in a palace fighting novel, and had to wait two months before seeing the emperor. She was probably the only one.

Wu Qing agreed without hesitation.

She turned around, smiled gently, and handed the jade bracelet that the emperor had just awarded her to the eunuch.

The bracelet is as emerald green as jade and shines brightly. It is a rare treasure.

The eunuch took the bracelet and uttered a cry, as if he was a little frightened by this generous reward.

A smile spread across his face, but he tried to suppress it so as not to appear too inappropriate.

Who wouldn’t like a favored and generous lady?

But on the surface, the eunuch pretended to refuse twice.

Wu Qing thought that the eunuch thought the reward was not generous enough, so he gave him a pair of gold earrings.

The eunuch, who was carrying a lot of treasures, retreated happily, and repeatedly promised to pay attention tonight and let Concubine Ji serve the emperor without worry.

"My lord, why do you have to reward him so much?"

Jinxiu asked in confusion.

Wu Qing rubbed his hands and said, "I'm going to sleep with him, so of course I need him to help me. If the emperor suddenly doesn't come, wouldn't I have wasted all my efforts in vain?"

After hearing this, Jinxiu asked in confusion: "My lady, do you really want to sleep with me?"

Wu Qing nodded affirmatively: "Of course."

If I don't seize this opportunity, when will I be able to see the emperor?

She quickly recalled the things used to harm people in palace fighting stories, and said anxiously, "Hurry, hurry, help me prepare arsenic, oleander, red crested thorns, mercury, musk... Wait, musk is useless against the emperor."

"...My Lord, that's an exaggeration."

It’s hard to describe Jinxiu’s expression.

She knew that her mistress had absolutely no intention of sleeping with him.

Being willing to sleep with me means he is just courting death.

Wu Qing said to himself: "Two daggers can be hung on the beams. Yes, one should also be placed by the bed in case of emergency. And -"

Jinxiu interrupted her: "My lady, I think these are enough..."

"No, I must go back this time!" Wu Qing urged, "Don't just stand there, we have to act quickly! Who knows when the emperor will come."

She added, "By the way, when I take action tonight, you should stay far away and don't let anyone catch you."

"If there is really no other way, I will punch you and make sure you sleep through it until next week. This will definitely have nothing to do with me."

"Don't let my death implicate you."

Jinxiu had no choice but to follow Wu Qing's instructions and start setting up the crime scene.

When she heard that Wu Qing was given the title "Ji", Concubine Lin was still leisurely sipping a cup of fragrant tea on the couch.

So much so that when she heard that Wu Qing was going to sleep with her tonight, she accidentally sprayed out the tea in her mouth.

Qingfang mistakenly thought that she was angry after hearing the news, and gently advised: "Madam, please don't be angry."

"After all, Lady Wu is on our side now. The emperor favors her a little because of you."

Qingfang and others did not know what Wu Qing was thinking, so naturally they did not understand why the emperor favored Concubine Wu.

How could a person who had been unknown since entering the palace for a year suddenly become favored?

In the eyes of the concubines and servants, the emperor's favor for Wu Qing was only for the sake of Concubine Lin.

Concubine Lin was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

She wiped the water stains from the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief and spoke.

"I'm not angry. I just... find it funny."

Concubine Lin coughed, shook her head and said, "The emperor is always like this. This time he slept with me for a moment, and you'll see, he will regret it tomorrow."

The imperial concubine listens to Wu Qing's thoughts every day, so how could she not know Wu Qing's evaluation of the emperor?

When Wu Qing talks about the emperor, there are only two possibilities.

The first is pure insult.

She called the emperor a playboy, a scumbag and a pig, and she also disliked the emperor for his old age and poor health.

The harsh language and tricky angles left Concubine Lin in awe.

The second possibility is that she is planning to murder the emperor every day, hoping to kill herself with the emperor's hands and return home.

The emperor knew nothing about this.

As the person in the palace who understood the emperor's thoughts best, Concubine Lin found it funny when she thought about this.

If the emperor knew what Wu Qing was thinking, he would surely be furious.

But will the emperor kill Wu Qing?

——The answer is obviously no.

Just because of the Book of Heaven's Secrets in her hand, the emperor didn't dare to touch her.

Concubine Lin took a sip of tea in silence. The sweet fragrance of the tea flowed between her lips and teeth, making her full of inexplicable anticipation for the coming night.

…

The concubines of lower rank were supposed to sleep with the emperor in the Yangxin Palace, but the emperor waved his hand and told Wu Qing not to bother and to go there in person.

This made many concubines who were closely watching the situation grit their teeth.

When they first entered the palace, which one of them was not carried in by eunuchs?

It was not enough for Concubine Wu to be given a title, she even had such an honor!

As the lights came on, the emperor's sedan chair slowly arrived at the gate of Linhua Palace.

Although the person he was sleeping with tonight was not the imperial concubine, she was still standing at the door waiting for him.

She was still incredibly beautiful, with a graceful figure that attracted his attention.

The emperor coughed lightly.

He felt a little uncomfortable that he had to pamper someone else when facing the woman he loved.

But this brief embarrassment was quickly dispelled by him, and a slight annoyance arose.

As the emperor, the supreme ruler, standing at the pinnacle of power, he is naturally the most conceited man in the world.

So when the imperial concubine appeared before him, the emperor was not very happy, and even blamed her a little for not knowing how to avoid suspicion.

The imperial concubine knew what was going on. She smiled, bowed and said, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."

The emperor responded calmly.

Concubine Lin said softly, "I know that the emperor is here to see Concubine Ji. But there are some things that I think it is necessary to give to the emperor."

The Emperor raised an eyebrow.

Concubine Lin raised her hand, and her wide sleeves cleverly concealed her movement.

She handed the emperor a small white porcelain bottle and a dagger.

The emperor was silent for a moment, but still asked in doubt: "My beloved, what does this mean...?"

"The porcelain bottle contains the antidote, and as for the dagger..." Concubine Lin explained, "The emperor will understand when he sees Concubine Ji."

She looked at the emperor deeply and said, "Your Majesty, please take care of yourself. I will leave first."

After saying this, Concubine Lin turned and left without any sign of lingering.

The emperor was confused, but he still put away Concubine Lin's things.

He strode into the side hall of Linhua Palace.

The chief eunuch announced loudly: "The Emperor has arrived!"
