After Hongmu left, the Imperial Study became quite lively. The illusion that had just occurred was created by Xiaohui to make Li Wanyue believe that the Emperor had finished his soup. And the bowl of nourishing soup that Hongmu had just been carrying was now in Feng Qinghuang's hands.
Feng Qinghuang tried it with a silver needle, but it didn't turn black. She smelled it carefully, but couldn't detect any smell. She was pregnant and couldn't possibly try the medicine, so she could only release Tuanzi.
The dumpling, with its tiny snake-like core, slurped up the soup in the bowl and tasted it. Hmm, it tasted awful.
“Master, there are Gu worms in here. You may not be able to see them with your naked eye. Please use your spiritual sense to take a look.”
Feng Qinghuang exclaimed in surprise, "It's actually a Gu worm! This is the first time I've ever seen one in the Azure Dragon Kingdom."
Feng Qinghuang opened her spiritual sense and saw the small black dots in the soup. It turned out that Rong Che wanted to use the Gu worms to make the emperor obey him.
"Huang'er, what's wrong? Have you seen Gu worms before?"
Feng Qinghuang nodded: "I saved someone who was poisoned by Gu when I was on the mountain before. But they weren't from our Qinglong Kingdom."
Rong Yuan sighed: "Then how exactly did Rong Che come into contact with the Gu worms?"
Rong Qi pulled Feng Qinghuang a little further away: "Jiaojiao, this is a Gu worm, stay away from it."
Feng Qinghuang suppressed a laugh: "It's alright, Aqi. Tuanzi is the nemesis of Gu worms, it can't hurt me. By the way, the problem right now is, when Li Wanyue comes in later, Uncle, you have to pretend to be poisoned. She probably doesn't even know there are Gu worms in here."
"As for the soup containing the Gu worms, let Li Wanyue drink it later. We can't let Rong Che doubt that Uncle isn't infected with the Gu. If Rong Che activates the mother Gu and the child Gu doesn't react, Rong Che won't act easily."
Rong Yuan nodded: "Yes, I understand, Huang'er. You may all retreat inside."
Rong Yuan deliberately knocked the memorials off the table, signaling to Hongmu outside. Upon hearing this, Hongmu quickly led Li Wanyue inside.
After Li Wanyue went in, she saw Rong Yuan lying on the dragon table and thought that the medicine must have taken effect. This situation was the same as that of Hongmu back then.
Li Wanyue brushed away the redwood hand that was supporting her, walked to the dragon throne, and gently sat down on it.
After Li Wanyue sat down, she looked left and right, her vanity thoroughly satisfied.
At this moment, Rong Yuan suddenly woke up and glanced at Li Wanyue beside him. Just that one glance almost scared Li Wanyue to the point of collapse. Li Wanyue quickly stood up, out of her body's instinctive fear.
"What are you doing in the Imperial Study? Why are you sitting on my dragon throne? Are you planning a rebellion?"
Li Wanyue was shocked to hear the Emperor's words. What was going on? The Emperor wasn't poisoned. Li Wanyue glared angrily at the mahogany below.
Hongmu shook his head at her and quickly helped her down.
"Master, the medicine has just taken effect. What the Emperor said was definitely his first subconscious reaction. The moment he saw you, you became his master. Why don't you just ask him?"
Li Wanyue glanced at Hongmu with suspicion, then at the Emperor, and pretended to straighten her hair and palace attire.
"Your Majesty, do you know who I am?"
Rong Yuan felt utterly contemptuous of her; could he please just throw her out right now?
If he could keep the plan from being disrupted, he would have given this thing a drink right now.
"Aren't you Li Wanyue? How come you don't even know who you are now?"
Li Wanyue was taken aback. This didn't make sense. How could it be different from mahogany?
Of course they're different. You can't use the same method to deceive two people. Besides, the emperor has been on the throne for a long time, how could he possibly lower himself like this!
Hongmu tugged at her sleeve: "Master, isn't the obedience drug supposed to make him obedient? You should make a request first!"
Li Wanyue quickly nodded. Yes, how could she have asked such stupid questions? Besides, the Emperor's answer was perfectly reasonable. She must have been out of her mind.
"Your Majesty, I feel that Liuyun Palace is not suitable for me to live in. I would like to move back to Yanxi Palace. Is that alright?"
Rong Yuan patted his head: "What kind of shame do you have... Fine, move out tomorrow, ugh..."
Li Wanyue was overjoyed; it really worked! Hahaha! From now on, she could make all sorts of requests to the Emperor.
Before Li Wanyue could even feel happy, she was knocked unconscious.
Hongmu glanced at the unconscious Li Wanyue and her slightly reddened hands, and thought, "Tsk, Li Wanyue's neck is really stiff."
Seeing Li Wanyue unconscious, Feng Qinghuang and Rong Qi came out from behind. Rong Qi handed the soup to Hongmu: "Pour it down her throat."
Without hesitation, Hongmu held the soup in one hand and helped Li Wanyue up with the other, leaning her against him. He then pried open Li Wanyue's mouth and poured all the medicine into her mouth.
Seeing Rong Yuan's headache, Feng Qinghuang said with amusement, "Uncle's acting just now was superb!"
Rong Yuan looked at her with annoyance: "I almost strangled her just now."
This wretched thing actually dared to ask to move back to Yanxi Palace. Will she ask to have her Consort status reinstated someday?
